MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Elevation Point, a growth accelerator and minority stake partner for independent advisors, today announced a strategic collaboration with Goldman Sachs to offer its partner firms access to Goldman Sachs’ banking and lending, trading, asset management and capital markets capabilities. The collaboration also expands an existing agreement with Goldman Sachs Custody Solutions (“GSCS”), a modern custodial provider for independent advisors, which will now serve as a key custodian for Elevation Point.
Elevation Point’s minority stake partnership model empowers entrepreneurial advisors to retain their independence while gaining access to capital, strategic guidance and essential growth resources. The collaboration with Goldman Sachs enhances this offering, broadening Elevation Point’s suite of services for clients with sophisticated needs. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will serve as a primary provider of lending, direct indexing and open-architecture custom models to Elevation Point and will play a core role in delivering fixed income SMAs, custody and capital markets services. Together, the firms will deliver customized solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of leading independent advisors and their sophisticated clients.
“From day one, our mission has been to support the top independent advisors and build a strategic ecosystem that empowers them to serve clients with freedom, flexibility, and scale,” said Jim Dickson, Founding Partner and CEO of Elevation Point. “Goldman Sachs brings world-class capabilities and a deep expertise of the wealth marketplace. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver tailored solutions and solve the complex challenges facing today’s most sophisticated advisory teams and their clients.”
This strategic collaboration will significantly expand Elevation Point’s suite of open-architecture investment solutions customized to RIA teams’ investment views and client needs, strengthen and diversify its family office solutions, and streamline the integration and onboarding of high-performing advisory teams, further positioning the firm for accelerated growth and long-term success.
“Goldman Sachs’ deep institutional expertise across investment management, banking, and capital markets, combined with Elevation Point’s seasoned leadership team and differentiated partnership model, equips our partner firms with the industry-leading resources they need to grow and excel,” said Mark Penske, Founding Partner and Chairman of the Board at Elevation Point.

Both of our firms have invested in the talent and infrastructure to offer a differentiated, digital-forward custody solution with a streamlined integration and onboarding process for independent advisors and we look forward to extending our partnership,” said Jeremy Eisenstein, Head of RIA Custody, Global Banking & Markets at Goldman Sachs.
“Goldman Sachs is particularly well suited to serve independent fiduciary-led advisors focused on creating better investment outcomes for their clients,” said Greg Wilson, Co-Head of US Third Party Wealth at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. “With our focus on helping RIAs deliver scalable, sophisticated, personalized investment portfolios, we are excited to partner with Elevation Point to provide unique solutions to a rapidly growing segment in wealth management.”
