Goldman Sachs Private Bank provides competitive borrowing and cash management solutions from Goldman Sachs Bank USA that are strategically integrated with our client’s wealth management goals. Our experienced team partners with PWAs to advise clients on new loans, refinancing and restructuring of existing loans along with overall liability management. Our lenders and mortgage specialists provide a wide range of creative borrowing solutions against asset classes ranging from marketable securities and alternative investments, residential and commercial real estate to more tailored solutions against private assets such as aviation, fine art, or vineyards.
Private Lending Underwriting (PLU), based in Dallas, TX, is primarily responsible for the underwriting of loans to new GS Private Wealth Management (PWM) clients. In this capacity, PLU assesses, underwrites, documents, and monitors the credit and business risks incurred in loan transactions. The underwriting process includes a thorough analysis of the borrower’s financial condition, assessment of cash flow, credit history, net worth, and liquidity, identification of risks and mitigants, among other items. Loans underwritten are secured by the borrower’s interest in third-party private equity funds.
PLU also ensures that the underwriting standards approved by the bank are adhered to in the loan approval process, with exceptions appropriately mitigated and documented. In addition, PLU participates in various business-related initiatives, such as new product development and systems/operational enhancements.
This is a client-facing role that requires a sound risk mindset. It is transactional in nature but incorporates relationship management skills to provide our clients with customized solutions and unparalleled service.
