Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division
Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division is a Bank based in New York, United States.
Part of Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division (MBD) was Goldman Sachs' principal investing arm, formed in September 1998 to house the firm's long-term private equity, real estate, and infrastructure investments made independently or alongside clients. Over more than two decades it built a portfolio spanning corporate equity, credit, real estate, and infrastructure, with notable investments including a minority stake in Polo Ralph Lauren, the creation of the Yankees Entertainment and Sports (YES) Network, and a 2006 investment in Aramark. In January 2020, Goldman Sachs reorganized the firm and folded MBD into its Asset Management division (co-led by Eric Lane and Julian Salisbury), and its principal-investing activity now continues under Goldman Sachs Asset Management / Goldman Sachs Alternatives rather than as a standalone unit.
