Lol.. Yes surely you would go for BlackRock, as you dont want to work for a firm that is "cheating" ??
Are we going back on our word now Tic Tac ?? :rolleyes:

GSAM won't make a penny of fees until 2010 if they earn their historical average return consistently. They had to inject $3bn over the summer, all on favourable fee structures to new investors, and now Big Lloyd might be thinking about shutting down Global Alpha. Peachy.

what about reputation,
which one you think is more prestigious?

True they havent been doing to well... but have u heard they r opening a new fund of $ 6 billion. If the new fund gets close to $6 billion, it will match the biggest fund launch ever... so this could make GSAM a big player

is Goldman Sachs Asset Management more prestigious than BlackRock?

At Asset Management no. BR beats GS but overall the Goldman Sachs brand is more respectable and more well known.

What do you mean "still?"

BlackRock's reputation has really only improved since 2007.

guys this is pointless, obviously the OP is only considered about prestige. I would put big money on him choosing GS even if news came out that GSAM had a 50% chance of being shut down in the next 2 months,

Acies, poor assumption.

I'm asking about reputation, no need to overcomplicate the question. Quite simple really.

It's pointless because the thread is around 4 years old.
