Goldman Sachs is a global provider of investment banking, securities and investment management services.

Founded in 1869, the group has a storied history and today delivers a broad range of financial services to a large and diversified client base. The company has offices in all the world’ s major financial centres – including New York, where it operates its global base – and employs nearly 40,000 people globally. Everything that Goldman Sachs does is filtered through its four key values of partnership, client service, integrity, and excellence. The organisation is headed up by Chairman and CEO David Solomon, a veteran of the company who worked his way up through the investment banking division to earn the top job in 2018.

The investment bank is known for its funding and financial arrangements for startups, including fintechs, in many cases seeing profit when startups launch initial public offerings. Goldman Sachs was the lead book-runner when Twitter first went public in 2013. The bank also has significant investments in Spotify, Foodpanda and Dropbox.

Considered a systemically important financial institution by the Financial Stability Board, Goldman Sachs is a partner of the World Economic Forum. In 2022, the institution announced it would wind down its operations in Russia in light of the country’ s invasion of Ukraine. In the same year, Goldman Sachs offered its first-ever derivatives product linked to the cryptocurrency Ether and launched a partnership with car manufacturer McLaren.
