Goldman Sachs鈥 Schwartz set to retire
Print Edition
Goldman Sachs Group Inc said yesterday that Harvey Schwartz will retire from the bank, leaving David Solomon as sole president and chief operating officer and the most obvious successor to Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein.
The bank did not say why Schwartz was retiring. He was seen as one of two contenders along with Co-Chief Operating Officer Solomon to take over the top spot at what is considered as the most powerful US investment bank.
Schwartz, 53, has served in his current role since January 2017. He will retire on April 20.
Goldman shares were up nearly 1.4 percent to hit a lifetime high in morning trade.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Blankfein was expected to retire as soon as this year and the bank was not looking beyond Schwartz and Solomon to replace him. Goldman did not comment on the report.
At the start of 2017, Schwartz became co-chief operating officer alongside Solomon, 56, after Gary Cohn left Goldman to become President Donald Trump鈥檚 chief economic adviser.
He was a co-head of trading for years before being named chief financial officer in 2012. He moved up the ranks at Goldman after starting in the trading division like Blankfein.
The unexpected announcement comes as Goldman Sachs has been trying to reinvent itself after market trends and regulations implemented since 2010 sapped profits from its once lucrative trading business.
Schwartz outlined a target to grow revenue by US$5 billion a year in September.
