Has GS ever been good at getting positive returns for its clients?

I have come to the conclusion that letting GS manage your money is akin to just setting it on fire.

I mean, they have a fund which has 1 bb AUM and they still can't get a positive return. GS should just shut down their Asset Mgmt. business and focus on helping clients do M&A transactions which dilute shareholder value.

1 - GSAM has $750B in AUM and they should shut down because an AR fund supposedly underperformed?

2 - The fund has a one year track record. One year! You can't judge a manger (for the most part) over such a short time frame.
