Founded in 1869, the firm is headquartered in New York and maintains offices in all major financial centres around the world.

More information on Goldman Sachs International can be found on their website www.goldmansachs.com or by requesting a copy of their prospectus from Mariana. The prospectus contains information and contractual terms for the securities issued by Goldman Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH.

Goldman Sachs International acts as Guarantor of the securities issued by Goldman Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH, which means that Goldman Sachs International will make the payments under the securities if Goldman Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH is unable to fulfil its payment obligations.

You may lose part and up to all your investment if Goldman Sachs International goes into liquidation and defaults on paying your Plan return and the repayment of your Initial Capital. The risk that Goldman Sachs International goes into liquidation is called Counterparty Risk.

Securities issued by Goldman Sachs & Co. Wertpapier GmbH and Goldman Sachs International are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Therefore, if the Issuer and/or the Guarantor become insolvent you would not be covered by the FSCS.

The Plan is not endorsed, sponsored or otherwise promoted by Goldman Sachs International or any of its affiliates.

None of Goldman Sachs International or its affiliates are responsible for the contents of this brochure and nothing in this document should be considered a representation or warranty by Goldman Sachs International to any person regarding whether investing in the product is suitable or advisable for such a person. Neither Goldman Sachs International, nor any of its affiliates, has provided advice, nor made any recommendation about investments or tax in relation to this product.
Don’t Forget the Risks

Mariana launches new plan but as with all forms of investment there are risks involved. These plans do not guarantee to repay the money invested. The potential returns of the plans and repaying the money invested are linked to the level of the stock market and also depend on the financial stability of the Issuer and Counterparty Bank.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated.  Investment involves risk. The performance data does not take account of the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares. The value of investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and investors may not get back any of the amount originally invested. Because of this, an investor is not certain to make a profit on an investment and may lose money. Exchange rate changes may cause the value of overseas investments to rise or fall.

The promotion of the plans does not constitute ‘advice’ to invest. Advice is always specific to an individual investor’s circumstances and needs, following the process of ‘know your customer’, with the aim of ensuring that any product is suitable for an investor.

As always, the recommendation and common sense approach is to consider product solutions as a portfolio, never over-exposing oneself to a point of financial pain and suffering liquidity or counterparty over exposure.

At the Best Price FS price point (when combined with our smiley and helpful service) the Mariana Plans are certainly worthy of consideration for inclusion within investment portfolios.

Warmest Regards.
