The APS team sits within Alternative Capital Markets (ACM), part of Asset & Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs. Through ACM, APS offers GS PWM clients access to an open-architecture platform of alternative investments, sourced via the following channels:

• Principal Investments: Proprietary, flagship strategies managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Our teams invest both client and balance sheet capital across asset classes
• Manager Selection Strategies: Manager selection strategies managed by the Goldman Sachs External Investing Group, which seeks to identify top-tier GPs investing in opportunities across the lifecycle of companies
• External Manager Offerings: High-quality external strategies, sourced and structured by the ACM team, offering clients access to a broad platform of custom opportunities
• Private Placements: A highly curated set of co-investment and direct investment opportunities, sourced via the deep networks of Goldman Sachs and our unique partnerships with external managers

APS generally sources investments for client portfolios based on what is broadly available to GS PWM clients through the ACM platform, although may from time to time offer exclusive investment offerings available exclusively to APS and/or a limited subset of clients.
