About

Goldman Sachs Wealth Services advises a broad client base that includes individual investors (both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth), corporate and employer‑sponsored participants, executives, plan sponsors, and institutional clients. It delivers financial planning and portfolio management alongside related offerings such as Private Family Office services, Specialized Executive Wealth programs, Financial Wellness and SurvivorSupport/TransitionalSupport programs, and access to Alternative Investments.

The firm’s advisory teams (Wealth Advisors and Ayco PMG) tailor plans and portfolios to client objectives, using strategic and tactical allocation models produced by the Private Wealth Investment Strategy Group (ISG), manager selections by the External Investment Group (XIG), and both discretionary and non‑discretionary implementations. Clients can be served via a range of fee arrangements and platforms—including strategy‑based accounts, centrally managed strategies, and comprehensive pricing programs—and the firm describes operational tools such as model rebalancing, tax‑aware techniques, and the use of proprietary and third‑party analytics (including AI) in research and implementation.

Compared with peers, the Adviser’s integration into the broader Goldman Sachs ecosystem is notable: it references affiliated capabilities across GS&Co., GSAM, Ayco, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and other Goldman Sachs affiliates that function as a bank, asset manager, broker‑dealer, and counterparties subject to swap‑dealer and futures‑merchant regimes. It also documents less common client touchpoints for an enterprise adviser—participant or subscription‑style pricing for Financial Wellness and program services, periodic research/educational publications and seminars, pension/plan consulting and municipal advisory relationships, and specialized teams (e.g., Sponsors Coverage Group) for clients with concentrated private equity or hedge fund exposures—while noting these affiliations create both expanded product access and additional conflicts of interest disclosed in the brochure.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
