Goldman Sachs discusses bigger bonuses for top traders 

Market Impact

Goldman executives are discussing sweeteners for standouts from the trading and investment banking division, which accounts for about 68% of its revenue, three of the sources said. The pay bumps could help win over some employees who balked at smaller bonuses last year that they blamed on losses from the retail operations. The firm’s allocation for bonuses fell by as much as 40% in 2022, according to another source, after earnings slid 48%. That drop exceeded Wall Street’s average bonus decline of 26%.
