My team is focused on uncovering new business opportunities for GSAM to manage the assets of pension funds, insurance companies, corporates and central banks in our cash, fixed income, currency, equity, and alternative investment strategies. We cover clients in all of Asia except for Japan - and, given the explosion of growth in this region, working here is truly exciting. On any given day, we can be on the ground visiting a client or prospect in Taiwan, mainland China, Singapore, Thailand, Korea, India or even Brunei.
This is a relationship business; we often meet with clients and prospects over meals. Informal situations like this give us an opportunity to learn about their business. There are no shortcuts here: To be successful, we must understand the challenges our clients face and position the appropriate investment solutions in front of them. We will get as deeply involved with their situations as our expertise will allow and will draw upon the knowledge and expertise of other divisions across the firm to give guidance when needed.
