Kristin Olson
The Architect
Structured and legacy-driven; builds the systems and institutions that last.
Kristin Olson reads as The Architect because she builds rather than chases. At Goldman Sachs, her approach to alternatives allocation is systematic and construction-minded, designing multi-lane, laddered portfolio frameworks assembled year over year instead of pursuing single opportunities.
“We need to have different opportunities in each of those lanes — buyout, growth, venture, private credit, real assets. And then we want to be open architecture for our clients.”
Describing platform diversification strategyundated
“You need to be very close to that client and how you build that portfolio year and year out making commitments. Our job as advisors is how do we build that laddered portfolio.”
Explaining capital commitment constructionundated
“I think for clients that can withstand the liquidity and understand the risk-return of alternatives, having a twenty percent or so allocation is something we're going to talk about a lot more across all levels of investors.”
