Goldman Sachs Infrastructure and Real-Asset Finance Group
Heard about GS forming this new group in the news recently. Headlines focusing on data center financing, but the group seems to be an overall infrastructure financing team as the WSJ reports "The new team will also focus on the building or upgrading of traditional infrastructure, ranging from toll roads to airports, in developed and emerging markets." Any GS bros have insight here? Seems like it will also focus on project finance as well based off the report. As someone who works in a more infra focused sector, this has piqued my interest.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, Goldman Sachs has a strong presence in infrastructure and real-asset finance through various divisions. While there isn't specific mention of a newly formed group in the provided context, GS has historically been involved in infrastructure financing through platforms like West Street Infrastructure Partners, which focuses on private equity investments in infrastructure.
Additionally, infrastructure financing often overlaps with project finance, as seen in discussions about Public-Private Partnerships (P3s), renewable energy, and traditional infrastructure like toll roads and airports. These types of deals typically involve high leverage (up to 90%) and require expertise in structuring, tax optimization, and grantor negotiations.
If this new group is indeed focused on data centers and broader infrastructure, it could align with GS's strategy of targeting both greenfield (new projects) and brownfield (existing assets) opportunities, as well as leveraging their expertise in project finance instruments. This could be an exciting opportunity for someone with an infrastructure-focused background, especially if you're interested in tangible assets and large-scale projects.

Interested as well- I saw some job postings for a group that sounded similar to this at GS - curious if anyone has insight
