Future Standard Names Goldman Sachs Veteran Chris Keogh Co-President to Lead Distribution Push
Future Standard named Chris Keogh co-president and head of client engagement and capital formation, tapping a nearly three-decade Goldman Sachs veteran to expand the firm’s institutional and wealth distribution platform, the Philadelphia-based alternative asset manager said.
“Future Standard has built a differentiated platform grounded in deep experience, disciplined investing and commitment to performance,” Keogh said. “I’m excited to join a firm with such a robust, talented team, and clear opportunity to further scale its client franchise.”
Keogh most recently served as global head of the institutional client business within Goldman Sachs’s asset and wealth management division, where he was a partner and oversaw an increase of more than $200 billion in assets under management. His career at Goldman spanned asset management, wealth management, investment banking, and global markets, with coverage across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
In his new role, Keogh will oversee Future Standard’s global institutional and wealth distribution channels and work alongside the firm’s investment leadership to broaden client engagement across its businesses. His appointment is effective in the fall.
“As clients seek proven partners in more complex markets, Chris’s experience will be a strong asset across both our institutional and wealth channels,” said Michael Forman, chief executive officer of Future Standard. “His leadership track record demonstrates clear commitment to our core objective, which is to provide our clients with access to top-tier investment strategies and solutions, always with a long-term partnership mindset.”
Future Standard, which was previously FS Investments and reported approximately $94 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2026, has roughly doubled its AUM in recent years. The firm has expanded its institutional capabilities through the 2022 acquisition of Portfolio Advisors and added Post Road Group’s digital infrastructure team to its private markets platform.
Keogh’s hire follows the recent appointment of Kyle Delaney as senior adviser and vice chairman, a move the firm characterized as part of a broader effort to deepen its senior leadership bench.
Future Standard invests across private equity, credit, real estate, and infrastructure, with a focus on the middle market.
