Goldman Sachs has named its latest crop of new partners. The announcement, which was expected yesterday, was made just moments ago.
94 new partners were named today, down from the 115 new partners named in the last round two years ago. The full memo and list of new partners is below.
Partnership managing directors, or PMDs, get an increased base salary, the opportunity to invest in Goldman deals, a discount on Goldman stock purchases and a share in the partner compensation pool, among other perks. Many wonder whether Goldman's partnership pool will survive its change of status into a bank holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve. If not, the class of 2008 would bear the additional honorific of being the Last Partners Goldman ever made.
Meanwhile, Goldman's compensation is coming under political fire. Congressman Henry Waxman has asked Goldman Sachs to justify the billions of dollars it will pay out in salary and bonuses this year.
Update: We've got a copy of the full list and a memo. If you have any information on the new partners, please email us here or send a text message to 646-526-3327. And, of course, you can always leave a comment below.
