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 does it cost to hedge GS stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and GS's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current GS option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- 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.
