Curious why no one ever talks about the private arms of some BBs? Specifically, Goldman Sachs Asset Management allegedly has $300 billion in AUM, is of course based in NYC, probably has healthy dealflow and is "prestigious". Comp structure is what you would expect at any other MF. Plus GS is the full package-- IB, direct lender, wealth manager and private equity investor.
Why isn't GSAM sought after like Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, etc.?
Have a good day.

I think it’s virtually only private credit nowadays
Because they grind and no one wants to grind
Think one problem is the conflicts of interest. If GS IBD is sell side advisor, GS AM has to pass
