Our reach is global, our relationships deep, and our connections long-standing. Our network spans 63 countries, covering the world’s leading CEOs, entrepreneurs, investors, policy makers and thought leaders. We source ideas and opportunities from this network of relationships, who recognize us as a committed partner, helping them advance ideas and grow their businesses.
We live at the center of the world’s capital markets. We are able to synthesize insights across industries, geographies, securities, strategies, technologies, and public policies. Our informational breadth expands our thinking, our expansive data contributes context, and our long experience informs our judgment.
We extend the global capabilities of our entire firm for the benefit of our portfolio companies.2 Whether empowered by our functional expertise, technology platform, or commercial relationships, we deploy considerable resources with the goal of helping our partners grow revenues, enhance margins, digitize processes, manage human capital, and evolve sustainability and impact.
Private Equity
Our Private Equity platform leverages the broad network and resources of Goldman Sachs to source proprietary opportunities across industries and around the world.2 We manage over $110 billion in assets across direct buyout, growth and GP stakes programs, in addition to our secondary and multi-manager strategies, that partner with external investment managers to provide clients with access to some of the top investing talent around the world.
Our global scale, network, expertise, and intellectual capital make us a partner of choice for many companies, stakeholders, and founders. We believe our thematic investment approach is enhanced by our team’s sector-specific expertise and our firm’s deep capital market insights. By combining our decades of private equity investing and domain expertise with the broader resources of Goldman Sachs, we are able to structure investments across a range of industries, geographies, and structure types.
Private Credit
Combining deep expertise and long-standing relationships, our Private Credit platform invests globally and across the capital structure, seeking to identify attractive risk-adjusted return opportunities across the credit spectrum. We manage more than $90 billion across all aspects of Private Credit, including senior, mezzanine, and hybrid capital solutions.
Access to the full resources and expertise of Goldman Sachs, including leveraged finance, mergers and acquisitions, research, and trading teams2 enhances our capabilities in evaluating and structuring opportunities. We proactively engage with sponsors and management teams to help add value and create customized solutions to support many different types of financing.
Real Estate
The breadth of our platform combines global and local expertise, cross-product insights and scale to help us navigate complex and changing markets. We have invested over $50bn in real estate assets spanning a wide spectrum of industries, across both equity and credit strategies. Our international footprint allows us to leverage extensive regional networks to source, execute and create value at both a local and global level.
The substantial resources of Goldman Sachs inform our insights and help us navigate the complexities of global trade, regulations, and public policy. We regularly synthesize this information to inform and enhance our evaluation of investment opportunities across the spectrum of real estate assets, enabling seamless recalibration and execution across strategies, regions, and sectors as markets and cycles evolve.
Infrastructure
Our global infrastructure program covers a broad opportunity set, managed by a team with decades of domain expertise and a history of sourcing proprietary opportunities and executing on complex transactions. Our investment team’s long-standing relationships, together with Goldman Sachs’ established global infrastructure and utilities advisory practice, helps make for a broad, robust sourcing network of companies, infrastructure investors, entrepreneurs, governments, municipalities, and financial intermediaries around the globe.
We invest in sustainable assets where we can drive operational value. With the definition of traditional infrastructure evolving significantly, our value-add strategy offers access to the infrastructure assets of the future. We bring an ownership mindset through our $5 billion platform, and are dedicated to helping support our portfolio companies and assets through strategic, operational, financial, and ESG improvements.

Our Sustainability & Inclusion teams also manage dedicated strategies that focus specifically on climate solutions, renewable power, opportunity zones, and investing in diverse and women-owned managers and companies, with the goal of generating positive and measurable impact for our communities, alongside financial returns.
We have been building relationships and deploying capital in impact-related opportunities for more than two decades. The wide reach of the Goldman Sachs platform, including our Firmwide Sustainable Finance Group and Government Affairs team, provides us with the insight to identify and capitalize on impact theses with secular growth opportunities. We aim to leverage our experience in the space to help guide our portfolio companies and managers we partner with in implementing more sustainable and inclusive operations.
Liquid Alternatives

Disclosures
Alternative Investments - Hedge funds and other private investment funds (collectively, “Alternative Investments”) are subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds. Alternative Investments may impose significant fees, including incentive fees that are based upon a percentage of the realized and unrealized gains and an individual’s net returns may differ significantly from actual returns. Such fees may offset all or a significant portion of such Alternative Investment’s trading profits. Alternative Investments are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information. Investors may have limited rights with respect to their investments, including limited voting rights and participation in the management of such Alternative Investments.
Alternative Investments often engage in leverage and other investment practices that are extremely speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Such practices may increase the volatility of performance and the risk of investment loss, including the loss of the entire amount that is invested. There may be conflicts of interest relating to the Alternative Investment and its service providers, including Goldman Sachs and its affiliates. Similarly, interests in an Alternative Investment are highly illiquid and generally are not transferable without the consent of the sponsor, and applicable securities and tax laws will limit transfers.
Conflicts of Interest
There may be conflicts of interest relating to the Alternative Investment and its service providers, including Goldman Sachs and its affiliates. These activities and interests include potential multiple advisory, transactional and other interests in securities and instruments that may be purchased or sold by the Alternative Investment. These are considerations of which investors should be aware and additional information relating to these conflicts is set forth in the offering materials for the Alternative Investment.
Private Equity - Private equity investments are speculative, highly illiquid, involve a high degree of risk, have high fees and expenses that could reduce returns, and subject to the possibility of partial or total loss of fund capital; they are, therefore, intended for experienced and sophisticated long-term investors who can accept such risks. There can be no assurance that any objectives or targets stated in this material can be achieved; any targets provided are subject to change and do not provide any assurance as to future results. The ability of underlying funds to achieve their objectives or targets depends upon a variety of factors, not the least of which are political, public market and economic conditions. Any historical performance of individual partnerships shown is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee their future performance, which can vary considerably. The trading market for the securities of any portfolio investment of the underlying funds may not be sufficiently liquid to enable such funds to sell such securities when it believes it is most advantageous to do so, or without adversely affecting the stock price. In addition, such portfolio companies may be highly leveraged, which leverage could have significant adverse consequences to these companies and the funds offered by AIMS Private Equity. Furthermore, restrictions on transferring interests in AIMS Private Equity funds may exist so prospective investors should be prepared to retain their investments in any AIMS Private Equity fund until the fund liquidates. For a complete discussion of risks that are unique to a particular AIMS Private Equity fund, please refer to the respective fund’s offering documents, which should be carefully reviewed prior to investing.
This material is provided for educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities or to make any investment decision.
Real Estate - Real Estate Private Equity investments are speculative, involve a high degree of risk and have high fees and expenses that could reduce returns; they are, therefore, intended for long-term investors who can accept such risks. It is expected that the investment vehicle which acquires secondaries will not have the opportunity to negotiate the terms of the interests in the underlying funds or other special rights or privileges. Likewise, the success and failure of an investment vehicle will depend to a significant extent on the viability and performance of the General Partners and portfolio managers with respect to the underlying funds’ investments.
Further, the market for secondary interests in real estate and real estate-related funds is continuing to develop and there can be no assurance as to the number of investment opportunities that will be presented to an investment vehicle. This diversification risk is further heightened if an investment vehicle concentrates in real estate only.
The risks inherently related to the real estate industry include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in international and domestic real estate markets, the financial conditions of tenants, changes in real property tax rates, changes in interest rates and the availability or terms of debt financing, changes in operating costs, uninsured casualties, and other factors not within the control of the General Partner, such as an outbreak or escalation of major hostilities, terrorist actions or other substantial national or international calamities. Further, portfolio assets may require development which carries additional risks relating to the availability and timely receipt of regulatory approvals and completion of construction.
Likewise, an investment vehicle may have exposure to developing countries and emerging markets whose securities markets are generally smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the securities markets of developed markets.
A fund, underlying funds, and/or portfolio assets may utilize leverage which could have significant adverse consequences. In particular, a fund will lose its investment in a leveraged portfolio investment more quickly than a non-leveraged portfolio investment if the portfolio investment declines in value. Money borrowed for the purpose of leveraging investments will also be subject to interest costs as well as financing, transaction and other fees and costs that may not be recovered. You should understand fully the risks associated with the use of leverage before making an investment in a fund.
