If Goldman Sachs Mints Money like a Hedge Fund, Then it Probably is One at Hedge Funds Leaders Forum

March 14, 2010 - PRLog -- GoldenNetworking.com's Hedge Funds Leaders Forum 2010, "Generating Alpha in Challenging Times" (http://www.HedgeFundsLeadersForum.com), March 18th, DLA Piper, New York City, will feature the panel "If Goldman Sachs Mints Money like a Hedge Fund, Then it Probably is One", with the following experts:

Through the first nine months of 2009, the New York investment firm socked away $16.7 billion for its bonus pool. While Goldman Sachs employs nearly 31,000 people, in businesses ranging from money management to investment banking, the bank makes now the bulk of its money from trading, using its capital for itself and its clients. Panel members will answer the following questions:

•   Is Goldman Sachs becoming a gigantic hedge fund?

•   How is the firm making enough money to pay the average Goldmanite almost $700K in bonuses?

•   Where is the firm moving the bulk of its alternative investments?
