United Capital is getting a new name. Come spring, the $25 billion RIA will be known as Goldman Sachs Personal Financial Management, after its new owner.
Goldman Sachs, which closed on its $750 million cash acquisition of United Capital in July, announced the name change at its inaugural Investor Day this week.
It was not unexpected. Joe Duran, founder and head of United Capital, indicated as much in December at the MarketCounsel Summit. He will be known as the head of Goldman Sachs Personal Financial Management.

At the Investor Day meeting, Eric Lane, global co-head of the firm’s consumer and investment management division of Goldman, laid out the firm’s plans to serve a wide swath of investors, from clients with $10 million or more in investable assets, currently served by its Private Wealth Management Group, to high-net-worth ($1 to $10 million) and mass affluent clients (less than $1 million). United Capital’s clients, with average account balances of $350,000 according to the firm’s latest Form ADV filing, fall into the last two categories since they include many with assets at or above $1 million.
