Public Investing

Equities

Traditional indexing may no longer deliver the diversification you expect. Backed by 35+ years of experience, Goldman Sachs Asset Management designs active equity strategies that seek to deliver what passive cannot: disciplined risk management and potential alpha.

The Active Advantage

As market concentration, passive flows and structural shifts reshape the investment landscape, we believe active management may provide the tools to dynamically manage risk and seek out uncorrelated sources of return.

Utilising Disciplined Risk Management to Mitigate Downside Risk

In an era of unprecedented index concentration, passive investing may increase your exposure to highly concentrated mega-caps. Our strategies aim to actively manage risk, dynamically adjusting exposures to seek to protect capital when market regimes shift. Rather than simply tracking the market, our approach seeks to proactively navigate changing market conditions.

Translating our Informational Edge into Real Alpha

True alpha requires looking at the market differently. By analysing traditional and alternative data across 15,000 stocks daily, we seek to uncover persistent, non-correlated insights. We aim to turn vast volumes of global economic data into a repeatable, structural advantage. Meanwhile, we believe our extensive global network and deep fundamental expertise uncover high-conviction, thematic opportunities.

Our Dual-Engine Approach

Whether your goal is minimizing tracking error or maximizing high-conviction alpha, we provide the building blocks to construct your ideal equity allocation and go beyond the index.

Our dual-engine approach combines systematic precision with deep fundamental insights to meet your specific investment objectives.

Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS)

Human Ingenuity, Scaled by Technology

Think of our quantitative equity strategies as the active answer to passive: we offer the broad diversification and cost-efficiency of an index, but with the alpha-generating potential and disciplined risk management of active management.

Backed by the scale of the Goldman Sachs network, our QIS engine processes unstructured data, sentiment analysis, and proprietary signals that traditional managers may miss.

Fundamental Equity Strategies

High-Conviction, Bottom-Up Equity Research

For concentrated, thematic equity investing, technology amplifies but cannot replace boots-on-the-ground research. Our fundamental portfolio managers conduct thousands of company visits annually, seeking to identify structural winners through deep qualitative analysis and rigorous balance sheet due diligence.

Our Fundamental Equity portfolios offer exposure to high-conviction growth themes such as global supply chains, energy resources and national security.

We are not simply a financial institution. We are one of the world’s most influential information hubs, powered by a global network that spans industries, markets, and borders.

Data

The future of equity is being written in data.

Clients can benefit by investing with foresight, confidence, and purpose, as we transform data into a strategic differentiator that helps shape the future of their portfolios.

Our data advantage stems from our scale, technology, and integration across markets and asset classes. We spend in aggregate ~$1.9 billion per year on Technology and Communications providing us with access to over 100 GPUs and more than 1 million hours of AI model training. We believe this enables us to identify patterns, anticipate trends, and uncover opportunities before others.
