Announcement (1/12/25): “The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. “Goldman Sachs” (NYSE: GS) today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Innovator Capital Management (Innovator), a pioneer of defined outcome ETFs. Innovator manages $28 billion of AUS across 159 defined outcome ETFs as of September 30, 2025, with capabilities to drive outcomes for clients across income, targeted buffer, and growth strategies. The transaction will significantly expand Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s ETF lineup and future product roadmap, and enhance the firm’s offerings in one of the fastest-growing active ETF categories. Global active ETF assets under management (AUM) are at $1.6 trillion, growing at a 47% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) since 2020 as investors increasingly access public markets through the ETF wrapper. Having grown at 66% CAGR since 20203, defined outcome ETFs are a key component of the rapidly growing active ETF market, driven by the objective to deliver innovative structured strategies in accessible formats. Investors are increasingly using defined outcome ETFs to add a broad and customizable range of objectives to their portfolios that meet their risk control needs and performance objectives. Defined outcome ETFs utilize derivatives and options-based strategies that seek to offer specific objectives such as principal downside protection, yield enhancement, and defined outcomes if invested for the full outcome period, allowing investors to build and customize portfolios through the tax-efficient ETF wrapper. As of September 30, 2025, Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Innovator manage more than 215 ETF strategies globally, representing over $75 billion in total AUS and positioning Goldman Sachs Asset Management as a top ten active ETF provider. This acquisition is part of Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s strategy to expand its leadership in innovative and growing investment categories and to deliver attractive investment performance and service to its clients. The firm delivers sophisticated strategies to investors as an industry leader in Direct Indexing and separately managed accounts, and through access to alternative investment strategies through its G-Series evergreen funds and active ETFs. Innovator’s Bruce Bond, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer; John Southard, Co-Founder and President; Graham Day, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer; and Trevor Terrell, Senior Vice President and Head of Distribution, will join Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The team collectively brings more than seven decades of leadership in transforming the ETF industry as entrepreneurs and pioneers. It is expected that Innovator’s more than 60 employees will join the Goldman Sachs Asset Management Third-Party Wealth (“TPW”) and ETF teams. The business will be wholly owned under Goldman Sachs Asset Management and the investment management and service providers will remain the same. The acquisition strategically expands the firm’s more durable revenue and reinforces its commitment to offering institutional and individual investors comprehensive solutions. The transaction consideration is expected to be approximately $2.0 billion, payable in a combination of cash and equity, subject to the achievement of certain performance targets. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

Shell’s pension plan trustees will have access to the global investment capabilities of Goldman Sachs across public and private markets.

22nd March 2024 – Goldman Sachs Asset Management with $2.8 trillion Assets under Supervision, has announced the close of the new $700 million opportunistic co-investment fund Union Bridge Partners I, which co-invests in external private credit & hedge fund managers. The new $700 million fund were raised from institutions, family offices, private wealth clients & Goldman Sachs employees. Union Bridge is part of Goldman Sachs $340 billion external investing group (XIG) which sources opportunities from 3rd-party asset managers. Announcement (21/3/24): “Goldman Sachs Asset Management today announced the final close of Union Bridge Partners I (“Union Bridge”), which closed on 31 December 2023 with over $700mm in capital commitments. Union Bridge is an opportunistic co-investment strategy that seeks to deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns by identifying unique investment opportunities in both public and private markets that fall outside the mandate of traditional market participants. Union Bridge sources from leading external private credit and hedge fund managers’ high conviction positions and invests side-by-side, working together with them to help drive positive outcomes. Union Bridge sits at the nexus of Goldman Sachs’s $340 billion External Investing Group (XIG), which helps clients to find, access and assess opportunities from third-party asset managers. XIG has relationships with thousands of leading managers globally. The capital was raised from a global and diverse investor base including sophisticated institutions, family offices, private wealth clients, and significant commitments from Goldman Sachs employees. XIG is a global platform with 400+ employees and houses some of the firm’s flagship direct Alternatives strategies, including the Vintage Strategies (Secondaries) and Petershill (GP Stakes) businesses. The Union Bridge strategy is differentiated through sourcing drawn from the scale and breadth of the XIG platform, its proprietary infrastructure custom built for co-investments opportunities, and its fully dedicated investment team – which provide critical speed of execution advantages. The fund is already ~40% deployed and has provided customized capital solutions to companies across North America and Europe in diverse sectors including hospitality, fitness centers, software and music royalties.”
Michael Brandmeyer, Global Head of XIG at Goldman Sachs Asset Management: “This fundraise reflects the growing opportunity set in co-investments, including outside of private equity where it originated, and the advantages of the XIG platform to source and execute these investments. We are grateful for the support of our clients in raising this inaugural fund and look forward to continuing to work with our extensive network of third-party managers to deliver attractive returns for clients.”
Philip Pallone, who leads the Union Bridge program: “We have seen a significant increase in the opportunity to partner with our external managers to provide flexible capital solutions to companies across public and private markets. The Union Bridge programs allows us to be stronger partners to our external managers by committing value-added capital in their highest-conviction opportunities while at the same time providing our clients access to differentiated, often exclusive, investments that they would not otherwise be able to access.”
