Access multiple asset classes…
Variability of returns3
Better
Investing all your savings in a single asset class is risky. Spreading risk across multiple asset classes can create a stronger foundation for building wealth over the long term.
Worse
While investors are best served by expanding their opportunity set, it is difficult to know what to own and when to own it. Yesterday’s best performing asset class may be tomorrow’s worst. Multi-asset investing aims to navigate moving markets to help perform well across various environments.

Who are they managed by? The Wealthbuilder portfolio managers are part of Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s multi-asset class investment team, Global Portfolio Solutions (GPS), which specialises in designing intelligent investment solutions for a diverse set of clients globally. The team consists of over 70 investment professionals with deep and varied backgrounds. GPS has nearly two decades of experience managing multi-asset class portfolios and the group’s senior investment professionals average 20 years of experience.4 The team currently manages over $26 billion in assets.5
Focused on delivering long-term returns. Taking risk is necessary to generate returns; we seek to identify, understand and size risk appropriately. We consider the potential losses associated with every investment we make, since an investor who loses 50% of their holdings requires a 100% gain just to get back to the initial amount invested.
Financial investments carry a market risk. The value of assets in the portfolio is typically dictated by a number of factors, including the confidence levels of the market in which they are traded.

At a glance: GS Wealthbuilder Multi-Asset Portfolios How do we invest? Three main sources of return in our investment process:
Strategic Asset Allocation
1. Strategic Asset Allocation. The investment process starts with selecting and sizing asset classes. The main aim of this stage is to spread risk among multiple sources of potential return (‘Diversification’) and combine investments.6
The Wealthbuilder portfolio managers select the long-term weights of asset classes
Tactical Asset Allocation
The Wealthbuilder portfolio managers make short- to medium-term overweights and underweights relative to the strategic asset allocation
Security Selection
Active selection of individual companies and issuers by security selection experts
On-going risk management
2. Tactical Asset Allocation. Market cycles drive materially different returns across asset classes. In 2013, US Equity returned 35%, while ‘risk-free’ government bonds lost 5%.7 As the market environment changes, the portfolio management team nimbly adjusts the portfolios’ holdings to capture shorter-term market opportunities across asset classes. 3. Security Selection. Once the asset allocation has been decided, the GSAM asset class specialists select which securities to invest in. Based in 32 locations around the world, the teams have the benefit of local presence to conduct research and gain local insights.
Financial investments carry an operational risk. Material losses to the portfolio may arise as a result of human error, system and/or process failures, inadequate procedures or controls.
