Established in 1998, Vintage Strategies is Goldman Sachs Asset Management's dedicated secondaries platform, sitting within Goldman's External Investing Group (XIG) alongside the bank's other alternative-manager and co-investment strategies.

Over more than 25 years the platform has raised nine globally diversified secondary funds plus several strategy-specific vehicles, deploying over $85 billion across more than 750 secondary transactions — one of the longest and largest continuous track records in the industry.

Vintage has expanded beyond its original private equity fund-stake focus into infrastructure secondaries (its first dedicated infrastructure secondaries fund closed around $1 billion) and real estate secondaries, tracking the same asset-class broadening seen at several of its large-platform peers.

Worth knowing

Sits inside Goldman's XIG alongside Industry Ventures — the same division now houses two separate secondaries franchises after the 2026 acquisition.
