OCIO and Fiduciary Management
As an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) partner with one of the largest open architecture platforms globally, we seek to help institutional investors achieve their investment outcomes through higher risk-adjusted returns, while lowering costs and reducing the administrative and operational burden on the in-house team.

What We Do

Our integrated offerings across equity, fixed income, and multi-asset solutions are designed to see challenges from many angles and help investors achieve their goals.

• Multi-Asset Solutions
For investors seeking diversity across asset classes, Goldman Sachs Asset Management can customize multi-asset portfolios to an investor’s risk profile. 

Our Offering

• Broad Investment Capabilities
In volatile markets, we believe an investment partner needs to not only be able to set the appropriate strategy but also adjust it dynamically, in light of ever-evolving risks, markets and economic environments. Our dedicated team of market specialists, economists, senior investors, traders and quants are responsible for insights focused on the development of capital markets assumptions, asset allocation, dynamic market views and risk management. While strategic asset allocation will be the main component of long-term success, we believe the ability to recognize and act on market dislocations in a risk-managed fashion can help provide client portfolios with improved risk-adjusted returns.

• Scale and Efficiency
Investment manager research is a cornerstone of our organization and a critical element of our service offering to all types of clients. We provide our OCIO clients with access to leading managers at attractive economics negotiated with the scale of our platform.

• Full Service Approach
We offer a range of in-house services across both private and public investments. Through cross-team collaboration, our clients benefit from asset allocation education, portfolio construction, risk management, asset-liability analysis, balance sheet management, custom liability benchmark creation and coordination of advisors and service providers.

What Makes Us Different

• Trusted Collaboration and Unique Insights
Our wide breadth of clients includes retirement plans, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, healthcare organizations, family offices and financial institutions. We are able to bring broad expertise from across the firm to deliver targeted solutions in close collaboration with clients to help meet the specific needs of their industry. Whether clients choose to outsource asset allocation to our team or work with us to custom build a solution, we build transparency into our process, share opportunities, and communicate how we believe we are positioned to capture alpha.

• Leading Open Architecture Platform
We leverage industry leading public and private market investment platforms combined with our external manager selection team’s expertise to bring leading investment solutions spanning proprietary and third-party strategies across the liquidity spectrum for our clients.

We understand one-size-fits all solutions are a thing of the past, and are dedicated to providing investment strategies that meet the unique needs of our clients, their challenges and their region. Working closely with our clients, we’re able to adjust our approach as their needs, and the market, evolve.
