Vintage IX, Goldman Sachs’ ninth iteration of its broadened private equity secondaries strategy and its biggest offering among the Vintage Funds, raised $14.2bn in equity commitments from a global and diverse group of institutional and high net worth investors, as well as significant commitment from Goldman Sachs employees.
In 2020, Vintage VIII, the company’s predecessor fund, closed on commitments totalling $10.3bn.
Harold Hope, global head of secondaries at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said: “Vintage Infrastructure Partners is a natural extension of our platform, and we are encouraged by the tailwinds that continue to drive growth and opportunity in that part of the market. With dedicated infrastructure secondary capital, we hope to be a more complete solutions provider to investors and managers looking for liquidity options across the entire range of their private market investments.”
Furthermore, the profitable outcome of the fundraising reflects the market’s appreciation of the team’s 25-year track record and the appealing secondaries market opportunity.
