Golding Capital Partners (Luxembourg) S.A.
Golding Capital Partners was established in 2004 by Hans-Dieter Brenner in Munich, with the Luxembourg entity, Golding Capital Partners (Luxembourg) S.A., serving as a regulated European hub for its institutional client base. The firm operates as an independent asset manager rather than a family office, though it services family offices alongside pension funds and insurance companies. The firm deploys capital across private equity, infrastructure, real estate, and private credit, using a combination of fund-of-funds, direct co-investments, and secondaries. It has publicly disclosed investments in fund vehicles managed by CVC Capital Partners, KKR, and Blackstone. Geographic focus spans Europe, North America, and selectively in Asia. As of 2025, Golding manages over €10 billion in assets, employing roughly 250 professionals across offices in Munich, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, and New York. The firm complements its investment activities with a dedicated philanthropic foundation, Golding Stiftung, focused on social and cultural projects. Golding differentiates itself through a client-aligned partnership model and a dedicated secondaries advisory practice that provides bespoke liquidity solutions. Its Luxembourg regulated structure offers institutional investors a stable, tax-transparent vehicle for cross-border alternative investments.
