About the rating
The rating

The rating of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.

The rating looks only at the areas below, which matter to a family holding this manager's funds through a private placement policy. Past returns play no part: these funds do not report them in their SEC filings, and they say little about what a policy will earn.

Conduct and regulatory record

What regulators and courts have recorded against the manager, and for platform series against the platform, as the advisers report it to the SEC. Several proceedings on one set of facts count as one matter. Recent and serious matters count most, matters of other companies in the group count for less, matters of individuals are weighed by the person's role and their bearing on the business, and the size of the firm is taken into account.

Reported controls

What the adviser reports to the SEC for the fund: whether the accounts are audited every year by an accountant registered with the PCAOB and subject to its regular inspection, whether audited statements go to investors and what the audit opinion says, whether the administrator and custodian are outside the adviser's group, and what share of the assets was valued last year by a person not related to the adviser.

Depth and experience of the manager

The assets the manager runs, its investment staff and how long it has been registered with the SEC.

Investor experience. What policyholders, insurers and advisers tell us is shown separately and never changes the stars. A factual point they raise is checked against the filings, and if it holds, the data is corrected. We never publish names. Tell us about yours

The rating expresses the opinion of PPLI.com on the date shown. It is not a statement of fact about the fund or its manager, not a credit rating, not a forecast of returns and not investment advice. Read about the rating.
