Future Standard Taps Goldman Vet Chris Keogh to Lead Global Client Franchise

Future Standard has appointed Chris Keogh as co-president and head of client engagement and capital formation, adding a nearly 30-year Goldman Sachs veteran to lead the firm’s global institutional and wealth distribution platform, the company announced.

Keogh joins Future Standard following an extensive career at Goldman Sachs, where he served as a partner and most recently as global head of the institutional client business within the firm’s asset and wealth management division. Over his tenure, he led client franchises across asset management, wealth management, investment banking and global markets, with deep experience spanning the U.S., Europe and Asia. During his time leading Goldman’s institutional business, Keogh oversaw an increase of more than $200 billion in assets under management.

“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, CEO of Future Standard.

Keogh said he was drawn to the firm’s investment discipline and growth trajectory. “Future Standard has built a differentiated platform grounded in deep experience, disciplined investing and commitment to performance,” he said. “I’m excited to join a firm with such a robust, talented team, and clear opportunity to further scale its client franchise.”

Keogh officially joins in the fall. His appointment follows the recent hire of Kyle Delaney, who joined from Bridgewater as senior advisor and vice chairman.

The hires come as Future Standard continues to broaden its platform, having acquired Portfolio Advisors, added Post Road Group’s Digital Infrastructure team and expanded its international footprint with new offices in Dubai, Seoul and Tokyo.
