This was a year of execution for Goldman Sachs. With everything we achieved in 2023 coupled with our clear and simplified strategy, we have a much stronger platform for 2024. Our strategic objectives underscore our relentless
commitment to serve our clients with excellence, further strengthen our leading client franchise and continue to deliver for shareholders. https://lnkd.in/eCCh7Q3i

Our Wealth Management Investment Strategy Group outlines their views for what to expect in 2024 in their newly released Outlook, America Powers On.  
  
Their two primary investment themes of US Preeminence and Staying Invested remain intact. Read the report to find out more: http://ms.spr.ly/6045ioOzP

2024 kicked off with broad optimism around growth, inflation, and risk assets. What’s top of mind for investors, as we look into the rest of the year?
 
Adam Crook and Muhammad Qubbaj, partners in Global Banking and Markets, hosted GS thought leaders on the Macro Outlook – 2024 Preview webcast to discuss major themes for the year ahead.

See our highlights below. Clients can access the replay here: https://lnkd.in/eYmE5-ak

Demand for oil was stronger than expected in 2023, but prices are softer because supply growth was robust, according to Goldman Sachs Global Banking & Markets. There could be more of the same in 2024 — prices may well be lower than many expect. https://click.gs.com/m7f1

A key question for 2024 M&A dialogue: will sponsor activity normalize this year?

In 2023, sponsors were cautious about deploying new capital given elevated interest rates, macro and operational risks, and overall sentiment. Lack of DPI (distributions to paid-in-capital) from sales/realizations has also complicated new capital deployment opportunities given pressure from LPs and headwinds for fundraising. 

But several tailwinds (a more normalized interest rate environment, dry powder surplus, converging value expectations between buyers and sellers – plus anticipated IPO market activity) are fueling momentum and raising optimism for 2024.

“You have to focus on what’s right for the firm—what’s right for the team. Not what’s right for you.” – Henry Kravis of KKR with incredible insights on how to build leadership teams, the evolution of private equity and lessons from his decades of investing on the latest #GSExchanges podcast. 

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Henry for 40 years – and fun fact, he’s a proud Goldman Sachs alum (from the '60s!). Listen to the full episode here:  https://click.gs.com/qqd8

Although the 2023 total M&A dollar volume of ~$3T was down ~20% YoY, 2023 activity was in line with pre-2018 median levels, and average monthly volumes progressively improved throughout the year. As the macro backdrop steadies and financing markets continue to reopen, is stabilization coming into view?

Efforts to decarbonize the global economy are reaching a turning point.
