Goldman Sachs Family Office Launches Expanded Family Office Platform

The enhanced family office platform integrates capabilities across the firm to provide Ă  la carte services or an advisor-led holistic solution.

NEW YORK, November 12, 2024 – The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc (NYSE: GS) today announced an evolved family office platform that offers its private wealth clients flexibility, choice, and simplicity. The firm has integrated its Ayco and Private Wealth Management (PWM) family office offerings, leveraging decades of experience in providing an advisor-led outsourced family office. As a part of the new platform, the firm is also building out an à la carte service solution, designed to meet targeted client needs and preferences.

There is a clear shift in client preferences for broader services customized to their specific needs. Increasingly, clients want comprehensive wealth management, akin to a family office without the operational and administrative burden of running one, as well as the flexibility to utilize different services as their needs evolve. The newly enhanced Goldman Sachs Family Office will provide clients access to a holistic, customizable approach to wealth management. This unified family office platform will be led by Stacy Mullaney, global head of the Goldman Sachs Family Office, and will include:

  • Family Office Solutions, which offers Ă  la carte services that clients can select from a menu of services – whether that be ad hoc or on an ongoing basis to meet their evolving needs. From consolidated reporting and alternative investment administration to cybersecurity, Goldman Sachs is integrating innovative third-party fintech platforms to deliver modern and digital offerings to clients. Family Office Solutions will be led by Chris Gleason.
  • The Private Family Office, will continue to provide clients with a dedicated team to manage what are often complex and highly personal finances. This full family office practice offers a solution for clients in need of comprehensive coverage including advisory, reporting, coordination and execution. The Private Family Office will continue to be led by Laura Carroll, with services provided by Goldman Sachs Ayco.

“When we talk to our clients about whether or not to build a family office, three themes stand out: strong governance, flexibility to meet the needs of the extended family, and continuity. We are committed to delivering exceptional value and personalized support to meet our clients where and how they want to be served based on their unique and evolving needs, ensuring that families can effectively manage and grow their wealth across generations,” said John Mallory, co-head of global Private Wealth Management.

“We know our clients value the global network and deep resources of Goldman Sachs. By integrating our services into one platform, we can provide the scale and resources necessary to meet our clients’ increasing demand for holistic wealth management, along with the flexibility to meet different needs at different points in time,” said Stacy Mullaney. “This enhanced platform will provide a continuum of services and allow us to now say ‘we are your family office’ – whether that be targeted à la carte solutions or an advisor-led holistic solution.”
