Wealth Management Is the Order of the Day
For this classic investment banking offer, the institution has poached leading players from the business: the newly recruited employees come from American institutions Goldman Sachs and Bank of America.
Meanwhile, at Goldman Sachs, the epitome of a powerful US investment bank, wealth management is the order of the day. Bank chief David Solomon has personally designated this division, which includes institutional business, as the primary growth driver for the firm.
