Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and UBS are arranging up to €900m in debt to support HSG’s acquisition of luxury sneaker brand Golden Goose. The financing will likely include high-yield bonds and floating-rate notes, aligning with the company’s existing debt structure. Investors may see the deal launched by late Q1, with strong interest expected from global high-yield funds, particularly in Asia.

HSG, formerly Sequoia Capital China, agreed to buy Golden Goose from private equity firm Permira for just over €2.5bn. Singapore’s Temasek will take a minority stake, while Permira also plans to retain part ownership after closing. The takeover represents one of the year’s largest European luxury brand sales and underscores growing Chinese interest in premium Western consumer assets. Despite broader leveraged finance volatility, lenders remain eager to back recognizable consumer and luxury names.

Strong brand equity continues to attract capital even as market conditions fluctuate.
