The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
A global financial institution that advises companies on mergers, underwrites stock and bond offerings, trades fixed income and equities, manages assets and wealth, and lends to corporations and institutions. Founded in 1869 by immigrant Marcus Goldman in a one-room New York office, it took the name Goldman Sachs when his son-in-law Samuel Sachs joined. In 2019 it issued its first-ever credit card, the Apple Card, powered by its consumer brand Marcus.
