Hi All,
We are hiring Quantitative Strategists across seniorities for Goldman Sachs's Asset & Wealth Management Business!
About the Role
AWM is a key focus area for the leadership to grow the franchise especially within the alternatives investing space. The firm is in middle of a transformative journey where the business is pivoting away from Principal Investing into managing Open and Closed-ended Private funds. This requires a complete overhaul of existing platforms, improving models and driving automation to enable scale in fund management.
Strategists work at the intersection of business and engineering, solving real world financial problems using a combination of financial, programming and logical skillsets. The role's focus will be to model key financial metrics for private credit, private equity and real estate assets and create scalable solutions to provide insights into portfolio performance & make future investing decisions.

You have competing options for the credit facility to lever up the fund with widely varying pricing terms. Which credit facility should you choose that results in higher lifetime net investor IRR ?
- The division invests equity in private companies through closed/semi-liquid funds. The fund has already invested in series A funding round for certain company. The same company recently had a new funding round(series B) at a total company valuation of $x million. How much payoff should we expect for our series A investments in scenarios of deemed liquidation ?
