On June 03, 2026, Petershill at Goldman Sachs Alternatives ("Goldman Sachs") announced the sale of its stake in ArcLight Capital Partners ("ArcLight" or "the Firm").
The ArcLight realization was sold at a premium to Petershill's net asset value and builds on our recent exit activity across the platform, with approximately $3.6 billion of aggregate realized proceeds generated across financing activity and nine realizations since the beginning of 2024. This recent realization and capital return activity includes the full realization of Arctos Partners in May 2026, the full realization of Industry Ventures in January 2026, the full realization of Harvest Partners in July 2025, the partial realization of Willow Tree Credit Partners in July 2025, the full realization of General Catalyst in January 2025, a partial realization of Incline Equity Partners in January 2025, a partial realization of Accel-KKR in November 2024, and the full realization of LMR Partners in September 2024.
ArcLight is a leading infrastructure investor which has been investing in critical electrification infrastructure since its founding in 2001. ArcLight has owned, controlled or operated over 70GW of power assets and 48,000 miles of electric and gas transmission and storage infrastructure representing more than $90 billion of enterprise value. Petershill initially acquired its non-control ownership stake in the Firm in January 2017, with a small follow-on acquisition of additional equity in February 2021. During Petershill's ownership period, ArcLight demonstrated strong performance and achieved meaningful AUM growth.1
Ali Raissi-Dehkordy, Co-Head of Petershill at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, commented: "This transaction represents another example of our ability to realise assets at significant premiums to carrying value, and the demand in today's market for our specialist GP partners from a range of buyer types. We look forward to continuing to seek to deliver value to our investors through a variety of liquidity routes as the GP Stakes industry evolves."
Robert Hamilton Kelly, Co-Head of Petershill at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, added: "Petershill is grateful for over nine years of collaboration with ArcLight Capital Partners, a tremendous firm and leader in the infrastructure space. We wish ArcLight every success in the future."
