“With Goldman Sachs’ decades of leadership innovating across public and private markets and T. Rowe Price’s expertise in active investing, clients can invest confidently in the new opportunities for retirement savings and wealth creation,” Goldman CEO David Solomon said.
The companies expect to launch the offerings in the middle of next year.
