Episode notes

Episode #73: The Expanding Role of Private Markets in Wealth Portfolios Guest: Kyle D. Kniffen, Goldman Sachs Asset Management In this Fund Shack episode, recorded live at SuperReturn in Berlin , Ross Butler speaks with Kyle D. Kniffen , Managing Director and Global Head of Alternatives for Third Party Wealth at Goldman Sachs Asset Management . With over $500 billion in alternative assets under management , Goldman Sachs is at the forefront of delivering institutional-grade private markets strategies to the private wealth segment . Kniffen outlines how the shift from public to private markets is reshaping modern portfolios, and how Goldman Sachs is using open-architecture, multi-asset solutions to unlock access for high-net-worth investors. The number of public companies has declined. Innovation now happens in private markets. For wealth managers, private equity, private credit, and real assets are becoming core exposures , not niche allocations. Goldman Sachs is responding with evergreen structures, simplified tax reporting, and lower minimums, but also stresses the need for investor education and clarity around liquidity expectations.
