Performance of the brand

Goldman Sachs, esteemed or infamous?  Goldman Sachs is undoubtedly one of the world’s biggest financial players and the brand is widely respected for its ability to generate fees regardless of the economic environment. In 2011 the bank created more revenue through merger and acquisition deals than any other bank globally.

However this unwavering pursuit of profit has come at a price to the banks brand image and reputation. Its role in the European sovereign debt crisis, amongst other controversies, has led many to view Goldman Sachs as an unethical brand and as a result of this the bank, much like JP Morgan, has been publicly targeted by the Occupy Wall Street movement.
