Goldman Sachs has named Marc Spilker, who has been with Goldman for 16 years, to take over from George Walker as head of its alternative investment business. Walker left to run Lehman Brothers’ asset management business earlier this year. Spilker moves from the role of co-head of US equities trading and global head of volatility trading at the securities group to take charge of Goldman’s private equity and hedge fund strategies group. Control of the firm’s Global Alpha fund will remain under Mark Carhart and Raymond Iwanowski at the quantitative strategies group. Goldman has $145 billion of alternative assets under management, including hedge funds, private equity and real estate funds – up by a third on a year ago.
