Golding's successful secondaries strategy strengthens its ESG approach and
classifies as Article 8 SFDR strategy
Munich, 10 July 2024 - Golding Capital Partners, one of Europe's leading
independent asset managers for alternative investments, has refined its
sophisticated ESG screening model and so extended full ESG transparency to
its secondary market products. The existing Golding Secondaries 2022 fund
now classifies as an investment product in line with Article 8 of the
Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
The successful classification as an Article 8 product is based on the
continued development of Golding's differentiated screening process, in
which the required ESG characteristics are verified at the level of the
underlying portfolio companies. A particular focus is on Golding's detailed
analysis of the concrete investments, and the due diligence carried out by
Golding and the general partners (GPs).
"Our enhanced scoring model incorporates several leading ESG guidelines,
including the sector-related ESG aspects of the Sustainability Accounting
Standards Board (SASB) and the concept of double materiality that features
in the European ESG regulations. The process enables sound ESG transparency,
especially for secondaries transactions. This in turn creates the basis for
classifying Golding Secondaries 2022 as an Article 8 fund within the meaning
of the SFDR. This achievement is the result of close cooperation between our
internal ESG and secondaries experts, and our GPs and external specialists",
explains Christian Schütz, Managing Director and Head of Sustainable
Investing at Golding.
"There is no change to our proven investment strategy for the Golding
Secondaries 2022 fund, which will benefit in future from the increased ESG
transparency of our investments", says Richard Wilmes, Partner and Head of
Secondaries at Golding.
The secondaries fund has a target volume of EUR500 million and will invest in
a broadly diversified buyout portfolio of more than 100 small and mid-cap
companies, mostly in Europe. Its target sectors include highly profitable,
resilient industries with strong growth potential, such as services, IT and
communications. Investors in secondaries are able to flatten the J-curve and
currently profit from the attractive discounts on secondary market
transactions, even for funds managed by established GPs.
Golding Secondaries 2022 is nearing the end of its fundraising phase, with a
final closing planned for the end of the year 2024.
