Goldman Sachs Group

Goldman Sachs has traditionally possessed the Midas touch in the investment banking world. A global leader in mergers and acquisitions advice and securities underwriting, Goldman offers a gamut of investment banking and asset management services to corporate and government clients, as well as institutional and individual investors. It owns Goldman Sachs Execution & Clearing, one of the largest market makers on the NYSE, and is also a leading market maker for fixed income products, currencies, and commodities. In 2008 Goldman Sachs converted to a bank holding company and formed subsidiary Goldman Sachs Bank USA (GS Bank USA), now in charge of bank loan trading, mortgage originations, and other activities.
