Ms. Hyde serves as vice president, wealth advisor for the Consumer and Wealth Management Division of Goldman Sachs, which she joined in 2014. Previously, she worked in multi-family housing, annuities, and insurance, as well as with an independent advisory family-owned firm. Hyde started her conversation walking students through her own career path by sharing some of her experiences. She continued talking about her day-to-day professional activities and emphasized the importance of understanding both the emotional and mathematical/analytical sides of financial planning while helping clients to make investment decisions they are comfortable with. She continued her conversation stressing the value of working for a large firm as it provides her access to ample resources to address all the financial needs and goals of her clients. Additionally, it offers personal opportunities for growth as the firm has several teams catering to different client types, she added. Ms. Hyde explained the importance of regulations in her profession and the difference between broker/dealers and registered investment advisory firms. The SEC regulates registered investment advisors (RIAs) pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act, while the SEC and FINRA regulate broker dealers. This affects the way financial advisors are paid, with broker dealers typically earning commissions and RIA’s, who have a fiduciary responsibility, earning flat fees. She gave students advice with respect to their own professional careers, mentioning the importance of bringing knowledge to the table and knowing the kinds of learners they are and how that will translate to day-to-day business. Hyde reminded the attending students to always be aware of the quality of their work as it reflects directly on them as employees. Toward the end of her presentation, Ms. Hyde answered questions about the different designations in the financial services industry, what makes students stand out in an interview, her greatest challenges working as a financial advisor, her opinion about the changes and challenges of the investment industry over the next five to ten years, and the impacts of artificial intelligence on the industry and the economy. Lastly, Hyde shared information about Goldman Sachs’ upcoming summer analyst internship program for 2024, as well as its global research team, and encouraged attendees to apply.
