The private wealth arm of banking giant Goldman Sachs has unveiled an operation in Monaco after it hired three professionals to serve clients in the principality.
The Monaco team will work closely with ultra-high net worth individuals in the region to offer wealth management and investment advice. Goldman Sachs’ opening in Monaco follows the closure of an office in the region in 2016.
The bank said that growing its wealth management business is a “strategic priority” and it has ambitions to scale its offering to clients in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (Emea) region significantly.
Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management (PWM) is closely involved in the ‘One Goldman Sachs’ strategy, in partnership with the asset management, global markets and investment banking divisions, aiming to create a one-stop-shop offering for its clients.
Chris French, co-head of PWM for Emea at Goldman Sachs, said: “The opening of our presence in Monaco is critical to delivering on our regionalisation strategy and overall growth plan.
“Monaco represents a significant jurisdiction for our private wealth business in Europe and the branch launch will enable us to better serve our clients in the local market and to contribute to the local community.”
