GS IBD Dallas Office
From what I understand GS has or is growing a Dallas IBD presence. Curious about what groups are down there? Just RE / DCM or more than that?

Real estate financing group and a very small regional coverage group
How is the DCM group?
Front office in Dallas is limited mostly RE and small IB presence. Groups are as follows
- REFG which is Real Estate Financing Group within IBD. Half the group is in Dallas and Half in NY
- REPE within GSAM/MBD, which is CRE investing on both the Credit and Equity sides. Same with above, both groups are half in Dallas and half in NY
- Specialty Lending within GSAM. MM Lending group with folks in Dallas and NY
- Relationship Lending Group within IBD. This is a new, small, group focused on mm lending and small plain vanilla senior debt transactions with established GS clients.
- Transaction Banking within IBD. Relatively new platform, with a huge presence in Dallas. This group is like treasury services at any other BB, weirdly it falls under IBD.
- IBD Southern Coverage. Classic IBD group focused on souther based clients and medium to small transactions. Industry/Product agnostic which is pretty cool. Small group
Overall, in Dallas, the Real Estate groups, both MBD and IBD, get the most interest. Pretty selective, smart, and lots of TX-NY back & forth, not only in terms of people but also deals. TxB is also booming, given the novelty and growth, but at the end of the day its not truly "pure high finance"
Do you have to be a native Texan to be considered for the coverage group? Just like Mormon banking scene in Utah - all bankers are from BYU.
I know someone who was hired that was from a state school in Alabama for the GS real estate group
Thanks for that, very helpful. Curious... is it pretty much the same groups for JPM in Dallas?
I am sure they are, I was talking to some people at JPM that are in a IB leverage finance group
Is REFG only in Dallas or do they have NY employees also?
