Private Markets Expansion

GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC · 2026-10-19 · Importance 31 · Surprise 42

Goldman Sachs and Evercore are exploring evergreen continuation funds for private-equity assets. The structures could allow buyout firms to hold portfolio companies for 10 to 15 years or longer, compared with roughly five years for traditional continuation funds. The initiative is intended to provide uncommitted capital for portfolio-company growth while reducing pressure to sell, but reporting identifies unresolved questions around carried interest and investor withdrawal rights.
