Who we are

Rooted in Porto, with branches throughout the world.


Our history has deep roots in the city of Porto, that go back to the already distant year 2000.

Back then, driven by the desire to create and nurture something that would make this world a little better than we found it, we sowed the seeds of a group that, two decades later, has branches on five continents.

Our origin

GLD was born in the financial sector, where we had no choice but to build in-depth knowledge of the most diverse capital markets worldwide, which allowed us to explore further afield, where we found rich business opportunities and branched out our activity, sustainably, while adding value to shareholders and communities.



Led by competent and motivated people

The businesses we invested in have made us a large and strong group, which is now proud to support almost 3000 employees, across more than 20 companies, operating in fields as diverse as financial services, health, industry and food retail or mining, among others.

Our portfolio

A portfolio as diverse as the people who dedicate themselves to it every day, based on a common culture where best management practices and respect for each of these almost 3000 people are not dependent on their geography, but a principled and non-negotiable way of carrying ourselves on the planet.
