Golden Goose has launched a €1.04bn bond sale to finance its acquisition by private equity firm HSG. The Italian luxury brand is issuing €880m in seven-year notes, split between fixed and floating rate tranches. The fixed-rate portion is being marketed with yields in the mid-to-high 6% range and will be callable after three years, while the floating-rate tranche is priced at three-month Euribor plus 400–425 basis points.

General Atlantic secured a new minority investment in Joe & the Juice from Emirates International Investment Co., valuing the global food and beverage chain at $1.8bn. The Abu Dhabi-based investor, part of National Holding, is acquiring a mix of existing shares and newly issued equity, though General Atlantic retains control. EIIC already operates as a franchise partner for Joe & the Juice in Spain and Turkey, providing both capital and operational alignment.

Partners Group closed its latest private equity secondaries programme with more than $9bn in commitments. The vehicle includes a flagship closed-end fund alongside bespoke mandates and co-investment vehicles, attracting a globally diversified investor base spanning Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the US. The programme is already 60% deployed, providing investors with immediate exposure to a diversified portfolio of assets managed by leading private equity firms.
