Private Wealth Management (PWM)
Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management (PWM) specializes in creating comprehensive wealth management plans for high net worth individuals and families, as well as select institutions, including foundations and endowments. PWM Teams work one-on-one with clients to advise and deliver customized strategies drawn from our deep investment experience, diverse wealth management capabilities and global reach. Our Private Wealth Advisors (PWAs) deliver an unparalleled investment platform inclusive of the full product and service offerings of Goldman Sachs and beyond, which may include tax and estate planning, philanthropic planning and private banking and lending services. As client needs evolve, this close relationship allows the team to offer complementary services and new opportunities by leveraging the resources of Goldman Sachs and beyond.
Equity Structuring (EQS)
The Equity Structuring group (“EQS”) sits within Private Wealth Management (“PWM”) and delivers tailored equity-based solutions to global wealth management and cross-divisional clients through customized structuring and execution services. EQS provides clients with single stock hedging and monetization expertise, as well as thematic investment opportunities across a variety of implementation vehicles such as public equity, listed options, structured notes, and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives on both an agency and principal basis.
The Single Stock Structuring team sits within the Equity Structuring group. The team works with clients who have concentrated single stock positions to deliver bespoke solutions. Solutions are developed in partnership with the client’s team of internal and external advisors in order to fully consider the client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax sensitivity, estate planning, time horizon and available market opportunities. Clients include founders, family offices, public company officers and directors, multi-generational shareholders, and other investors. The team helps clients solidify objectives and navigate complex processes by delivering tailored and dynamic solutions that incorporate insights from the client’s broader team and subject matter experts from across Goldman Sachs’ divisions. These discussions often occur before and following important corporate events, such as IPOs and M&A events, and culminate in various hedging and monetization transactions via block trades, OTC derivatives, 10b5-1 plans, and other derivative overlay strategies. As part of the Firm’s OneGS strategy, the team works directly with various institutional trading desks in Global Banking and Markets to execute these strategies for clients.
You will work as part of the global team to market and structure equity derivative and capital markets transactions. Solutions are primarily focused on monetization and hedging strategies, and will be developed in partnership with private wealth advisors, their clients, and their client’s outside tax and legal advisors. You will work on transactions during all phases of the life cycle including: marketing, client education, transaction structuring and pricing, execution and ongoing client dialogue. Additional responsibilities include marketing solutions by creating presentation materials, working on projects related to client prospecting and transaction sourcing, and partnering with engineering colleagues to build tools that enhance these workflows.
