Marcus Goldman began discounting commercial paper in New York in 1869, and his son-in-law Samuel Sachs joined a generation later. The firm partnership went public in 1999 and converted to a bank holding company in 2008. Investment banking advisory and trading remain the core, with asset and wealth management the growth priority; the Marcus consumer venture was largely wound down after losses. Compensation is a defining feature of the culture, and headquarters sit at 200 West Street in Manhattan.

Goldman Sachs equity questions

How much GS stock is too much?
There is no single threshold, but the larger the share of your net worth in one stock, the more a single bad year can set back your plans. The calculator above quantifies the drawdown impact at 30, 50, and 70 percent for your GS position and weighs selling down (which triggers capital-gains tax now) against hedging (which costs option premium).
Does Goldman Sachs grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Goldman Sachs typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Goldman Sachs RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Goldman Sachs restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
