Goldman Sachs Alternatives has announced the launch of the G-PE fund, which is part of its G-Series range of open-ended private markets funds that benefit from the firm’s 36-year track record as a leader in private investing. It is the latest fund launched under the G-Series brand.
According to the manager, G-PE is a permanent private equity strategy that provides access to Goldman Sachs’ leading private equity franchises. In this regard, the vehicle allows participation in private equity deals across a range of flagship strategies, such as buyout, growth, secondaries, and co-investment. Additionally, they add that the strategies launched under the G-Series brand have been designed to provide qualified investors worldwide with efficient access to a range of investment strategies spanning Private Equity, Infrastructure, Real Estate Credit, and Private Credit.
This launch is in line with the firm’s efforts to expand access to its $500 billion Alternatives platform for professional investors, including qualified individuals, broadening access to the return and diversification benefits of private markets. The manager indicates that the strategies are accessible through Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management and selected third-party distributors in various markets. “The expansion of the G-Series comes at a time when both individual and institutional investors are seeking new sources of diversification into assets uncorrelated with public markets,” they state.
Following this launch, Kristin Olson, Global Head of Wealth Alternatives at Goldman Sachs, said: “As more companies choose to stay private longer and a greater proportion of economic growth occurs in private markets, investors will need to look beyond public markets. We believe that investments in private markets can help our clients with the right risk profile to build a more diversified portfolio, and we are pleased to leverage product innovation to expand their access and opportunities.”
