Pedro Dias Ferreira

Spear’s Review

A former Barclays private banker, Pedro Dias Ferreira was recruited to Goldman Sachs in 2021 as part of the bank’s expansion of its UK private banking operations. He specialises in advising clients from Southern Europe and Latin America. 

‘The UK is a highlight for our endeavour to grow the business,’ said Stefan Bollinger, then the bank’s co-head of private wealth management for EMEA, at the time of Dias Ferreira’s move. Bollinger emphasised the ongoing need to invest in the best talent to satisfy growing client demand from London in particular. 

The firm now has more than 150 such advisers – all specialising in supporting UHNW clients – across the wider EMEA region. 

With broad expertise in wealth structuring and financial planning, Dias Ferreira supported a range of Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking wealthy families during his previous 11-year tenure at Barclays. In his spare time, Dias Ferreira volunteers as a special constable for the Metropolitan Police to give back to what he calls ‘the greatest city on Earth’.
