Goldman Sachs has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered wealth management platform aimed at retail investors, marking one of the bank’s most significant moves into the mass market. Traditionally known for serving institutional clients and high-net-worth individuals, Goldman is now leveraging AI to expand access to its wealth management expertise at scale.
The platform, branded “GS Wealth AI”, combines personalized investment recommendations, automated portfolio management, and real-time risk analysis. By integrating machine learning models, the system can analyze market trends, individual risk tolerance, and financial goals to deliver tailored investment strategies directly through a mobile app.
“This is about democratizing access to high-quality financial advice,” said Stephanie Cohen, Goldman’s Global Head of Platform Solutions. “AI allows us to provide customized insights and portfolio guidance to millions of investors, not just the ultra-wealthy.”
The launch comes as competition intensifies in digital wealth management. Companies like Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and fintech players such as Betterment and Wealthfront have been pushing AI-driven tools to attract a new generation of investors. Goldman’s move, however, signals a broader strategy shift—leveraging its global brand and expertise while capturing retail market share.
The platform offers tiered services, starting with low-cost robo-advisory functions and scaling up to hybrid models that include human financial advisors. Investors can begin with as little as $500, significantly lowering the entry barrier compared to Goldman’s traditional wealth management services.
Security is also a core focus. The bank has embedded AI-driven fraud detection and compliance monitoring into the system to address regulatory expectations and safeguard user trust. Early pilot programs in the U.S. and U.K. have shown strong adoption, particularly among younger investors who prefer mobile-first experiences.
Analysts note that the initiative could strengthen Goldman’s long-term retail banking ambitions, building on its digital arm Marcus. “This is a natural extension of Goldman’s push into consumer finance,” said David Donovan, a fintech strategist at Publicis Sapient. “The combination of AI and the Goldman Sachs brand could position them as a serious competitor in the retail wealth space.”
With the full rollout expected later this year across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, Goldman Sachs is betting that AI-driven personalization will be the key to attracting and retaining the next wave of investors.
