Future Standard, a global alternative asset manager with more than $94 billion in assets under management, announced the appointment of Chris Keogh as Co-President and Head of Client Engagement and Capital Formation. Effective in the fall of 2026, Keogh will oversee the firm’s global institutional and wealth distribution platform, working closely with investment leadership to expand client relationships and deliver the firm’s full range of investment solutions across its global businesses.
Keogh joins Future Standard after nearly three decades at Goldman Sachs, where he was a Partner and most recently served as Global Head of the Institutional Client Business within the firm’s Asset and Wealth Management division. During his tenure, he led client franchises spanning asset management, wealth management, investment banking, and global markets, while building extensive experience across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
According to Future Standard CEO Michael Forman, Keogh’s appointment comes at a time when investors are increasingly seeking experienced partners to navigate complex markets. Forman noted that Keogh’s leadership background aligns with the firm’s mission of providing clients with access to high-quality investment strategies while fostering long-term partnerships.
Keogh is widely recognized for building high-performing teams centered on collaboration, accountability, and client service. While leading Goldman Sachs’ institutional client business, he oversaw growth of more than $200 billion in assets under management. Future Standard believes his expertise is particularly relevant to its middle-market investment strategy, where disciplined asset selection, specialized sourcing capabilities, and long-term experience are key drivers of investment performance.
The appointment marks another step in the expansion of Future Standard’s global platform. In recent years, the firm strengthened its institutional capabilities through the acquisition of Portfolio Advisors and expanded its private markets offerings by adding Post Road Group’s Digital Infrastructure team. The company has also broadened its international presence, adding offices in Dubai, Seoul, and Tokyo to complement its established operations in Europe and Asia. Over this period, the firm’s assets under management have approximately doubled.
Keogh’s arrival follows the recent appointment of Kyle Delaney as Senior Advisor and Vice Chairman, reflecting Future Standard’s continued focus on adding experienced industry leaders as it scales its investment platform and global client franchise.
