Spear’s Review

Promoted to managing director in 2021, Razanne Abaza is a senior adviser in the private wealth team within Goldman Sachs’ London office. A 25-year veteran with the bank, she previously worked for its investment banking division before returning to her roots in private wealth. 

Within the team, Abaza and her colleagues offer a high-touch, full-spectrum service to clients across the UK and Europe. Their core services include financial stewardship (including helping clients build customised investment portfolios to meet their financial goals), life and legacy planning, liquidity and lending, and – increasingly – advising on philanthropy and social impact projects. The aim, says the bank, is to bring clients’ wealth to its ‘full potential’ with comprehensive solutions that cater to each individual’s needs and aspirations.
