Guggenheim Partners operates very differently than Guggenheim Securities which is the bank
GS and MS are SIFIs and public companies with balance sheets; GSAM and PC&E are subsidiary divisions. Guggenheim Partners owns Guggenheim Securities, both are private entities, and Guggenheim Securities doesn't have a balance sheet. I'm sure some of the requirements are the same, but Guggenheim Partners is well known to be a flexible and nimble buyside shop.
