Four Co-Branded Portfolios Launch for Affluent Investors

Goldman Sachs Asset Management and T. Rowe Price initiated the first phase of their strategic alliance on December 16, 2025, launching four co-branded model portfolios. The new offerings, distributed via GeoWealth's unified managed account (UMA) platform, provide Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) with diversified investment solutions for mass-affluent and high-net-worth clients. The initial products include a Dynamic ETF Portfolio, a Tax-Aware Dynamic ETF Portfolio, a Dynamic Hybrid Portfolio, and a Tax-Aware Dynamic Hybrid Portfolio, which combine mutual funds and ETFs from both firms.

A fifth model, the "High Net Worth Portfolio," is scheduled for release in the first half of 2026. This portfolio will incorporate more sophisticated strategies, including direct indexing and evergreen alternative funds, specifically for high-net-worth individuals. The collaboration leverages Goldman’s Multi-Asset Solutions team and T. Rowe Price’s expertise in retirement and wealth management.

Partnership Follows Goldman's $1B Strategic Investment

The product launch stems from a strategic alliance announced in September 2025, when Goldman Sachs made a $1 billion investment in T. Rowe Price to jointly develop new products. The partnership aims to expand offerings in the wealth management channel by combining the strengths of both institutions. Over the last six months, Goldman Sachs's stock (GS) has significantly outpaced the industry, gaining 42.4% compared to the industry's 25% growth. In the same period, T. Rowe Price's stock (TROW) underperformed the industry, rising 13.1%.
