Goldman Sachs Opens Private Equity Deals to Rich Investors

Goldman Sachs is expanding its private equity offerings by launching an open-ended fund named G-PE, providing wealthy individuals with access to a diverse range of investment opportunities, including buyout, growth, secondary, and co-investment deals.
This initiative positions Goldman Sachs to compete with major private market players like Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, and KKR, who are actively seeking to broaden their investor bases. By opening its private equity deals to high-net-worth individuals, Goldman aims to democratize access to alternative investments, traditionally reserved for institutional investors.
Commitment to Alternative Investments
Goldman Sachs has a longstanding presence in the private equity sector, having invested over $83 billion globally. The firm emphasizes its role as a partner of choice, leveraging its extensive network and expertise to source unique investment opportunities. Their approach focuses on thematic investing, supported by deep sector knowledge, aiming to identify emerging trends and disruptive forces early.
Recent Developments in Private Equity
In January 2025, Goldman Sachs Alternatives launched G-INFRA, an infrastructure-focused strategy for private wealth clients. This open-ended, global infrastructure fund offers investors access to a range of Goldman Sachs Alternatives strategies, including private credit, real estate, and private equity, targeting investments in core-plus value-add infrastructure, secondaries, and liquid assets.
