Healthcare

Overview

Healthcare systems and hospitals face increasingly complex challenges in an evolving regulatory and operating environment—from increased consolidation and competition, to balancing multi-faceted investment programs with varying objectives across pension, operating, charitable and other retirement assets. We draw on decades of experience partnering with many of the largest non-profit healthcare systems and hospitals to help clients meet their investment goals.

Our Approach: How We Partner with Clients

We believe the degree of change, consolidation and complexity affecting healthcare organizations requires a holistic investment approach. We seek to address the varied and unique investment objectives of each client by providing the following:

Deep Pension Expertise

Our pension experience and understanding of our healthcare clients’ key financials enable us to provide recommendations tailored to their specific objectives. We offer dedicated pension research and expertise across pension solutions, including asset management, liability management and corporate finance.

Broad Investing Capabilities

Healthcare organizations manage various pools of capital, with varied risk and return objectives, and therefore require broad and deep investment expertise. The breadth of GSAM’s multi-asset platform enables us to provide innovative and bespoke investment solutions.

Dedicated Client Service and Knowledge Transfer

We partner with each healthcare organization to understand their unique objectives and the multi-dimensional risks and provide proactive client engagement. We bring together the best insights and resources from across the firm to deliver timely insights on global markets, regulatory and industry issues and innovative investment strategies.

Examples of Our Partnership with Clients

CASE STUDY 1 CASE STUDY 2

Client Description

A US non-profit healthcare system that had experienced significant growth in its long-term investment pool.

Client Objective

The client was seeking an innovative investment strategy that could offer differentiated sources of return and exposure to a market sector with historically favorable margin and cash flow characteristics to complement its existing multi-asset portfolio.

GSAM Solution

We helped provide access to a diversified portfolio of alternative investments. We provided the client with a unique view into the alternatives industry, a conduit for analytics and knowledge transfer, and access to the Goldman Sachs network.

Client Description

A US healthcare organization with a comprehensive network of hospitals and primary and specialty physician care services.

Client Objective

The client’s bearish expectations for returns in core fixed income markets, given the low interest rate environment, drove them to consider introducing a private markets approach. The approach focused on current income while incorporating an underserved part of the corporate market that helped diversify the existing fixed income allocation across the client's operating and pension assets.

GSAM Solution

We provided access to a middle market lending strategy as a means to generate current income and capital appreciation. The solution allowed the client to participate in a less accessible area of the market, while leveraging the experience and origination capabilities of Goldman Sachs.
