T. ROWE PRICE GOLDMAN SACHS PRIVATE MARKETS FUND DEBUTS
Rhea-AI Summary
T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ: TROW) and Goldman Sachs Asset Management launched the T. Rowe Price Goldman Sachs Private Markets Fund, an interval fund providing individual investors access to institutional-style private equity, private credit, private real estate, private infrastructure, and leveraged loans in a single professionally managed portfolio.
The fund combines T. Rowe Price’s multi-asset, equity, and OHA private credit capabilities with GSAM’s global alternatives platform. It offers lower investment minimums (A and D shares: $2,500; I shares: $1,000,000), daily pricing, simplified 1099 tax reporting, and no accreditation requirement. Liquidity is limited to quarterly repurchase offers of 5%–25% of outstanding shares at NAV under an interval fund structure, so shares should be viewed as illiquid. This product is part of the firms’ broader public‑private collaboration announced in 2025.

New interval fund offers private markets exposure in a single professionally managed portfolio, the latest development from the ongoing strategic collaboration between T. Rowe Price and Goldman Sachs Asset Management
The new interval fund1 combines the leadership of T. Rowe Price's Multi-Asset and Equity investment teams in portfolio construction and late-stage private equity investing, respectively, with GSAM's global alternatives platform and the institutional private credit expertise of Oak Hill Advisors (OHA), the private credit platform of T. Rowe Price.
Expanding Access to Private Markets
T. Rowe Price Goldman Sachs Private Markets Fund expands access for individual investors to institutional-quality private market opportunities within a single professionally managed portfolio. As more economic value creation occurs outside public markets, private markets and alternative assets have become increasingly important parts of the investment landscape. Yet access for individual investors has typically been limited by hurdles including high investment minimums, high fees, and tax reporting complexity.
The new fund is designed to address these and other barriers through lower investment minimums, daily pricing, professional asset management, simplified 1099 tax reporting, and no investor accreditation requirement. It uses a disciplined research-driven, multi-asset approach to pursue return opportunities beyond those that are available in public markets.
Portfolio Management
The fund will be managed by a team of T. Rowe Price investment professionals:
- Vikram Natu, portfolio manager, with 13 years of investment experience
- Som Priestley, CFA®, head of global investment solutions,
Americas and portfolio manager, with 20 years of investment experience - David DiPietro, head of private equity, portfolio manager, with 39 years of investment experience
The Next Step in Public-Private Investment Strategy Collaboration
The new fund is the latest product offering resulting from the strategic collaboration announced by Goldman Sachs and T. Rowe Price in September 2025. The alliance intends to deliver a range of public-private investment solutions designed for the unique needs of retirement and wealth investors. Today's interval fund launch follows the introduction of model portfolios last December and it anticipates the development of target date and advice offerings expected this year.
