Proprietary access to deal flow from our Goldman Sachs network, including our investment bank and private wealth management franchises enable unique sourcing opportunities.
Differentiated Insights
Our thematic investing approach is supported by expertise across sectors, markets, business models, and stages of corporate lifecycle. Our 30+ years of experience provides a distinct vantage point, enabling us to identify disruptive forces, trends and changes in sector dynamics early.
Value, Accelerated

Our Value Accelerator is a centralized platform that partners with our portfolio companies to help build enduring businesses and create incremental value by leveraging the Goldman Sachs network, our differentiated resources, and our highly distinguished operating advisors platform. The Value Accelerator supports cross-portfolio and company-specific value creation plans across operational excellence and digital transformation.
SecondarySecondary
Building on a 25-year track record of investing, our programs seek to help private market investors and managers navigate their liquidity and capital solutions needs across private equity, private credit and real assets.
We source opportunities across transaction types, geographies, and sectors, benefitting from our connectivity to Goldman Sachs and its clients. We can speak for size in large processes, but also remain nimble and resourced to pursue compelling smaller opportunities.
We maintain relationships with 1,200+ private market managers globally and have established a first-call, trusted advisor reputation with managers looking to participate in the secondaries market.
The secondary market is becoming more diverse in terms of transaction structures and composition; different transaction types require different skillsets and tools to evaluate. Our market-wide insights and sector-specific expertise position us to invest across transaction types and construct diversified portfolios.
