Overview
- Goldman Sachs announced the promotions on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, and said the 109 new partners will take effect on Jan. 1, 2027.
- The additions bring the partnership to more than 500 people and will include over 100 female partners for the first time, keeping partners at roughly 1% of the firm.
- Goldman said about 85% of the new partners work in revenue-generating businesses and many roles are in global banking, markets, and asset and wealth management.
- The class includes a record 13 engineers and around 30% from Asset and Wealth Management, a mix executives said reflects a push for more technology skills and steady fee revenue.
- The partnership still confers major pay and governance rights from Goldman's private-firm past, a structure that helps retain top staff and that also makes the decision to stop publishing demographic data consequential for outside scrutiny of diversity progress.
