Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs sits at the top of Wall Street, a firm built around advising on deals and trading in the markets. Its core is investment banking, guiding companies through mergers, acquisitions and stock offerings, paired with a large trading operation that buys and sells securities for clients and itself. That makes its earnings more volatile than an ordinary bank's, since they rise and fall with dealmaking activity and market conditions rather than steady lending. It also runs a big asset-and-wealth-management business managing money for institutions and the rich. Founded in 1869 and based in New York, Goldman is designated systemically important and treated as a bellwether for the health of capital markets. The stock tends to do best when deals are flowing and markets are active, and it struggles in quiet, risk-averse periods, which makes it a cyclical bet on Wall Street itself.
