Goldman Sachs saw net revenues in its asset & wealth management arm rise 24% year-on-year in Q1 2023 to hit $3.22bn.
However, this was 10% lower than in Q4 2022.
Of this, $2.28bn was due to management and other fees, a record, $53m in incentive, and $354m came from private banking and lending.
The increase was attributed to net gains in equity investments compared with net losses in the prior year period. In addition, there were higher management and other fees, as well as higher net revenues in debt investments.
Furthermore, net revenues in private banking and lending included a loss of close to $470m due to the partial sale of the Marcus loans portfolio.
In addition, assets under supervision increased $125bn during the quarter to hit a record $2.67trn.
