Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs is one of the world's largest investment banks. Its core business is advising on mergers and IPOs, trading in the markets, and managing large fortunes and assets. It's not a traditional retail bank.
Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is a large investment bank that, unlike others, has bet heavily on wealth management: advising and investing the money of wealthy clients. That side gives it steadier, more recurring revenue than trading or deal advisory.
