▼ + stars: | 2024-04-15 | by ( Hugh Son | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

David Solomon, Chairman & CEO Goldman Sachs, speaking on CNBC's Squawk Box at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland on Jan. 17th, 2024. Goldman Sachs is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings before the opening bell Monday. Dormant capital markets and missteps tied to Solomon's ill-fated push into retail banking should give way to stronger results this year. Unlike more diversified rivals, Goldman gets most of its revenue from Wall Street activities. After pivoting away from retail banking, Goldman's new emphasis for growth has centered on its asset and wealth management division.

He said the bank has been "advising clients on these topics and how to think about potential use cases in their operations." AI's impact on jobsSolomon also explained how, internally, AI could impact its own workforce. "We see enormous opportunities for productivity gains and also opportunities for efficiency," Solomon said, describing how the AI revolution could impact Goldman's human capital. Some firms like Deutsche Bank have been piloting test cases to evaluate the impact AI could have on junior bankers' workflows.

Of that bonus, $20.3 million, or roughly 70%, will be awarded in stock, with a remaining cash bonus portion of about $8.7 million. Solomon's freshly-announced 2023 comp puts him just behind his fellow Wall Street bosses. Everyone knows that, on Wall Street, money talks. But Wall Street is a notoriously competitive gauntlet and Solomon has yet to beat his personal 2021 record this time around. There's always next year — and it looks like Solomon will still be here to take another bite at the apple.

☆ Goldman Sachs tops revenue estimates on better-than-expected asset management results
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-16 | by ( Hugh Son | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Goldman Sachs on Tuesday posted fourth-quarter results that topped analysts' expectations on better-than-expected asset and wealth management revenue. Companywide revenue rose 7% to $11.32 billion on growth from asset and wealth management and platform solutions divisions. The growth engine for the bank, according to Solomon, is now its asset and wealth management division, which is benefiting from the rise in private credit and other alternative assets. Asset and wealth management revenue jumped 23% from a year earlier to $4.39 billion, topping the StreetAccount estimate by nearly $550 million, on higher revenue from equity and debt investments and rising management fees. Equities trading revenue jumped 26% to $2.61 billion, thanks to derivatives activity and financing fees, topping the $2.22 billion StreetAccount estimate.

☆ Why former Goldman Sachs partners say they left the firm
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Dakin Campbell | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +23 min

Goldman Sachs partners are leaving — some 202 during David Solomon's five years as CEO by Insider's calculation. In particular, before Solomon, Goldman nurtured many fiefs and then spread the wealth from the most successful ones across the firm. Of the former Goldman executives that Insider interviewed, here are the most cited reasons they gave for leaving Goldman. When both men struggled, senior partners left, and Goldman stumbled in its efforts to wind down its balance-sheet investments. Goldman Sachs partners are paid well by any standard: $950,000 in base salary and often multiples of that in annual bonuses.

Goldman Sachs said Monday that it agreed to sell its personal financial management unit to a competitor named Creative Planning. The bank declined to disclose the sale price for its PFM business. Goldman said in February that it only had about 1% of the high net worth market, or those who have between $1 million and $10 million to invest. The sale "allows us to focus on the execution of our premier ultra-high net worth wealth management and workplace growth strategy" while continuing to support high net worth clients through a strategic partnership with Creative Planning, he said. Selling the PFM business will help boost profit margins in Goldman's asset and wealth management division, Jefferies analysts led by Daniel Fannon wrote Monday in a research note.
