What Makes Us Different

Consistent Deal Flow

We leverage the External Investing Group’s (XIG’s) wide network of external manager relationships to help source high-quality direct investment opportunities. Our network of over 1,000 private markets managers generates in excess of 300 co-investment opportunities per year.1

Rigorous Investment Process

We pursue a highly selective and multi-stage investment process that contributes to consistent decision-making regardless of company sector or economic cycle. We seek to build appropriately concentrated portfolios of alpha-generating co-investments diversified2 across multiple vectors, including private equity manager, value creation plan, sector, enterprise value and geography.

Experienced Team

We believe that we have one of the leading teams in the co-investment industry. Our global investment team is comprised of sector and regional experts and the investment professionals on our Investment Committee have an average of 20+ years of co-investment experience.3

Goldman Sachs Network Advantage

We have access to the extensive network of Goldman Sachs professionals to enhance our due diligence process and add value to our manager relationships. Our co-investment team can tap into both internal and external industry experts and thought leaders as we conduct our investment process.4
