KKP and Goldman Sachs Asset Management Announce Strategic Collaboration to Expand Global Investment Access for Thai Investors
Bangkok, Thailand — 16 June 2025 – Kiatnakin Phatra Financial Group (KKP) today announced a strategic collaboration with Goldman Sachs Asset Management to broaden global investment opportunities for Thai investors. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in KKP’s ongoing efforts to enhance its wealth management capabilities and reflects Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long-term commitment to growing its third-party wealth business. The collaboration is anchored in the approach: “The Power of Two. One Philosophy of Wealth.”
As part of the collaboration, Goldman Sachs Asset Management will provide KKP with investment advisory services through model portfolios in multi-asset strategies covering equities, fixed income, and alternatives. In addition, KKP will gain access to Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s global market insights and benefit from regular knowledge sharing between the two firms.
“Encouraging clients to reduce home bias and diversify internationally has been central to our investment philosophy for over a decade—and it has served our clients well,” said Narit Kosalatip, Managing Director and Head of Wealth Management at Kiatnakin Phatra Securities Plc. “We’ve invested heavily to build global investment capabilities, and this groundbreaking collaboration with Goldman Sachs Asset Management will elevate our ability to deliver world-class, globally diversified portfolios tailored to the evolving needs of Thai investors.”
A key focus of the collaboration is the growth of Discretionary Portfolio Management (DPM). KKP sees DPM as an increasingly important solution for clients seeking a more diversified, dynamic, and risk-aware approach to navigating today’s complex and volatile global markets.
“We see opportunities to expand our wealth distribution business in Thailand, where investors are increasingly seeking global opportunities,” said Sabrina Gan, Head of Third-Party Wealth, Asia Pacific ex-Japan at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. “This collaboration, combining Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s global investment capabilities with KKP’s local knowledge, will allow us to work together to provide differentiated opportunities to investors in Thailand.”
Goldman Sachs Asset Management is providing investment advisory services in multi-asset strategies exclusively to KKP in Thailand subject to the terms of the relevant agreement. Both firms are also exploring additional areas of collaboration, including the potential distribution by KKP of investment products managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management.
This collaboration comes at a time of transformation in Thailand’s wealth management landscape. Investors are increasingly reducing home bias, younger generations are taking more active roles in managing family wealth, and interest in alternative investments is on the rise. Meanwhile, regulatory shifts and the entry of international players are reshaping how Thai investors approach global diversification. Against this backdrop, KKP and Goldman Sachs Asset Management are aligned in helping investors navigate complexity and seize global opportunities through active, informed and diversified portfolio strategies.
