Fee Structure
Goldman Sachs Asset Management charges investment management fees that generally vary based on the value of your portfolio, the specific investment strategy used, and the type of account or vehicle. Fees are typically calculated as an annual percentage of your portfolio's assets, billed monthly or quarterly, or structured through management fees and incentive allocations for private funds.
- Fees, account minimums, and service tiers are widely negotiated and vary significantly depending on the client relationship, account type, and customization.
- For retail managed account services and wrap fee programs, clients often pay a bundled fee or an institutional fee negotiated through a sponsor institution, which covers certain execution and administrative costs.
- Private investment funds and pooled vehicles may also include performance-based compensation or carried interest in addition to asset-based management fees.
