Investment Management

Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM) delivers innovative investment solutions through a global, multi-product platform that offers clients the advantages that come with working with a large firm, while maintaining the benefits of a boutique.

Portfolio Management

GSAM consists of various investment teams across four specialized areas.

Fundamental Equity teams conduct original, bottom-up research across a broad range of capitalizations and styles, spanning global developed and emerging markets. This team utilizes growth equity, value equity, global equity and real estate securities strategies.

Quantitative Investment Strategies uses advanced quantitative methods to systematically uncover and exploit sources of alpha. Our proprietary risk models seek to ensure that risk is actively managed and allocated according to our investment criteria. We offer a range of strategies across market capitalizations, regions and investment styles that can be tailored to meet specific client demands.

Fixed Income seeks to uncover opportunities across borders and in under-researched markets. We use independent specialist teams for bottom-up and top-down decisions, and for generating strategies within their areas of expertise. The Fixed income team includes Money Market products.

Alternative Investments include Hedge Fund Strategies, Global Manager Strategies, the Private Equity Group and the Multi-Product Investment Group, Liberty Harbor and Goldman Sachs Investment Partners. As investors seek different ways to generate alpha and diversify risk, demand for innovative strategies has increased. As a leading provider of these solutions, we offer the flexibility, skill and resources to meet our clients’ specific investment objectives.
