Who to write to at Goldman Sachs

What this title actually means

Goldman's Summer Analyst Program is a nine to ten week summer internship for students pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree, with orientation, training and real responsibilities alongside the firm's people. This row is the 2027 London intake for Asset Management, Public Investing; the division is given as Asset and Wealth Management and the corporate title as Summer Analyst. The page carries a date of 16 August 2026. Source

Asset and Wealth Management is described as running money for mutual funds, hedge funds, pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, third-party wealth firms and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, with over $3 trillion in assets under supervision, delivering solutions across traditional public investing and alternative investments. The firm emphasises an apprenticeship culture in which junior people learn directly from seasoned professionals. Source

'Asset Management' is a different business from the bank most students picture, and the difference is who the client is. In banking you advise a company on a transaction and are paid a fee; in asset management you are given money by an institution and are judged on what you do with it. The seat is the investor's, not the adviser's, and the clock is different too: a deal has a signing date, a portfolio just has next quarter.

'Public Investing' is the token that narrows it, and Goldman's own sentence gives you the split: the division delivers 'across traditional public investing and alternative investments'. Public means listed markets, equities and bonds bought and sold on an exchange. Alternatives means the private side: private credit, private equity, real estate, infrastructure. This row is the first of the two. So expect company and market research, portfolio construction and client reporting rather than diligence on a leveraged buyout, and if it is deals you want, this is the wrong Goldman row to spend an application on.

The team

The unit is Goldman Sachs Asset Management inside the Asset and Wealth Management division. The page describes AWM professionals as participating in investment opportunities, collaborating with colleagues across asset classes and regions, and building client relationships, but it names no desk within public investing. Source

18 people have held London roles in GSAM since 2018, against 232 in Goldman's IBD. Banking is the bigger London population at every bank, so the gap is partly real, and the practical consequence is the same either way: there are far fewer people to ask about this seat than about an IBD one, so an alumnus who has done it is worth finding.

Public investing is not one desk. It spans equities and fixed income, fundamental and quantitative, and this page names none of them; the allocation happens after the offer, as it does across the bulge-bracket summer classes. Two things follow: do not expect to choose your desk at application stage, and do ask, at interview, which public-investing teams in London actually take summer analysts, because that is the list you would be allocated from.

The firm

779 people have held London roles at Goldman Sachs as a whole since 2018, across banking, markets, research and asset management. That is a very deep London bench, which mainly matters because it means someone who has sat in almost any Goldman seat is findable and askable.

What this posting signals

A 2027 summer programme visible on a page dated August 2026 is the annual campus cycle running exactly to schedule. The bulge brackets open London summer applications in the late summer and fill the classes through the autumn, so the practical window is the next few weeks, not the following spring, and not whenever a deadline eventually appears.

No deadline is stated on the page. Goldman reviews on a rolling basis, so a strong application in September is worth more than a perfect one in December, by which point the London class may be substantially spoken for.

Are you eligible?

The programme is for students pursuing a bachelor's or graduate degree. Each applicant may apply to up to four separate business and location combinations in a recruiting year; any further application is automatically withdrawn, and to add one you must first withdraw an existing application that has not been turned down. Goldman states that creating multiple email addresses to apply to more opportunities is not permitted. Source

The four-application cap is the decision this page really asks of you. Asset Management is one Goldman business among several that recruit separately in London, and each one you apply to spends a quarter of your allowance at this firm, so choose the businesses you can actually argue for rather than covering the board. Note also what the page does not say: no graduation window, no degree subject, no right-to-work line. Those filters live in the application form, so if you need sponsorship, establish that before you spend one of the four.
