Amélie Lindrec (Goldman Sachs Asset Management): Supporting portfolio managers in a changing investment landscape

As assets become more diversified and allocation strategies more complex, investors are paying increasing attention to accessing new sources of performance. Private equity, private debt, infrastructure or active ETFs: the investment universe has expanded considerably in recent years, forcing advisors and family offices to rethink their tools and partners.

Against this backdrop, Amélie Lindrec, Head of Distribution at Goldman Sachs Asset Management for France, Luxembourg and Monaco, assists wealth management professionals in integrating these new solutions into their allocations.

Part of Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs Asset Management currently manages over $3,200 billion in assets, across all major asset classes, both listed and private. In the Luxembourg market, the company is focusing in particular on two areas of development: private markets and ETFs.

In unlisted assets, Goldman Sachs Asset Management is developing evergreen vehicles designed to make these strategies more accessible and easier to understand for end investors. These solutions provide access to themes such as European private debt, private equity and infrastructure, while offering regular liquidity mechanisms and, for certain strategies, income distributions.

At the same time, demand for ETFs - whether passive or active - continues to grow among distributors and investors, with a view to enhancing transparency, efficiency and cost control in portfolio construction.

Beyond investment solutions, Goldman Sachs Asset Management intends to position itself as a long-term partner for its distribution networks. Through training in new asset classes, the production of market content and support with allocation considerations, the aim is to provide advisors and investors with the tools they need to navigate a changing investment universe.

In an environment where strategies are multiplying and investors are seeking diversification, visibility and allocation discipline, the role of major asset managers is changing. It is no longer a question of simply offering products, but of helping allocators to understand and integrate the profound changes taking place on the financial markets.
