Equity Structuring (EQS)

The Equity Structuring group ("EQS") sits within Private Wealth Management ("PWM") and delivers tailored equity-based solutions to global wealth management and cross-divisional clients through customized structuring and execution services. EQS provides clients with single stock hedging and monetization expertise, as well as thematic investment opportunities across a variety of implementation vehicles such as public equity, listed options, structured notes, and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives on both an agency and principal basis.

The Single Stock Structuring team sits within the Equity Structuring group. The team works with clients who have concentrated single stock positions to deliver bespoke solutions.

Clients include founders, family offices, public company officers and directors, multi-generational shareholders, and other investors. The team helps clients solidify objectives and navigate complex processes by delivering tailored and dynamic solutions that incorporate insights from the client's broader team and subject matter experts from across Goldman Sachs' divisions. These discussions often occur before and following important corporate events, such as IPOs and M&A events, and culminate in various hedging and monetization transactions via block trades, OTC derivatives, 10b5-1 plans, and other derivative overlay strategies. As part of the Firm's OneGS strategy, the team works directly with various institutional trading desks in Global Banking and Markets to execute these strategies for clients.
