Goldman Sachs Group (US38141G1040) is further reshaping its business mix. The NYSE and Dow Jones component is shrinking its alternative-investments group to focus more tightly on core investment banking and trading activities, according to recent U.S. media reports.
What recent reports highlight
In mid-June, the Wall Street Journal reported that Goldman Sachs planned to reduce the size of its alternative-investments unit, which had managed private-equity and other long-dated assets on the bank’s own balance sheet, as part of a broader strategic reset after earlier consumer-banking ambitions.
The restructuring follows several quarters in which Goldman’s management emphasized a return to its traditional strengths in advisory, underwriting and markets, areas where peers such as Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan also compete aggressively in the U.S. and Europe.
How the strategy is shifting
The shift in emphasis comes after Goldman spent years building out consumer finance, including the Marcus brand, before deciding to scale back that effort in favor of fee-based investment banking and trading revenues, a move that was welcomed by several analysts on Wall Street.
According to a recent Zacks commentary, Goldman Sachs has delivered a robust share-price performance over the past year, helped by strong momentum in its investment-banking and trading operations, and now carries a Momentum Score of A in that framework.
