GSAM's Quantitative Investment Strategies team
We have been made aware that there are external parties falsely claiming to carry out financial services on behalf of Goldman Sachs (including Goldman Sachs Asset Management International and Goldman Sachs International) in order to market fake investment products and to solicit monetary payments. These external parties may pose as Goldman Sachs through the use of fraudulent communications via email, instant messaging or phone, as well as through the use of fake brochures and other documents containing Goldman Sachs branding and logos.
The Financial Conduct Authority of UK has issued warnings about these fraudulent activities which can be found here and here.
It is important to know that any communication you receive from Goldman Sachs would only come from an @gs.com e-mail address and/or be found on the goldmansachs.com website. Further information regarding how you can protect yourself from fraudulent activity online and how you can contact us about this can be found on the Goldman Sachs Security page, available here.

Talk to UsBig Data is a popular term used to describe extremely large sets of data which can be analysed using advanced technologies to reveal patterns, trends, and associations. Big Data changes how we shop, eat, network and how we invest, transforming companies, sectors and the broader economy. Using technology and data to deliver cutting-edge investment insights, the Goldman Sachs CORE® Equity Portfolios employ a disciplined application of quantitative techniques to capture both the fundamental as well as the behavioural aspects driving companies’ stock returns.

Active investment management has always been about generating an informational advantage and anticipating evolving trends more quickly than other market participants. The exponential growth in data for example is so significant; it impacts multiple parts of our everyday lives, while rapid advancements in technology enable us to push the boundaries of conventional asset management.
In the past, we could only use computers to analyse easily quantifiable and organised sets of data such as numbers in a spreadsheet. Today, new technologies allow us to analyse unstructured data, such as language and images, for the first time. As more new data sources become available, we continue to research novel investment ideas to enhance our process.
No, we view technology and data as tools to enhance the decision making process of our portfolio managers and before we act on any of the information generated by our quantitative models, our portfolio managers review every trade and position and may intervene during certain periods of extreme stress in an effort to reduce or contain risk.
Companies that find ways to harness Big Data may separate themselves from their competitors and create value for investors.
