Abstract: The massive financial cataclysm triggered by the US subprime mortgage lending during the year 2006 forced many leading mortgage lenders in the US to close their operations and file for bankruptcy. It also resulted in the investment banks, engaged in securitising subprime loans into marketable securities, running the risk of insolvency. Hit by the market turbulence, leading global investment banks, including Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, UBS, Bear Stearns and Morgan Stanley, registered a total loss of $136 billion in 2007 for their subprime exposures. However, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., one of the world's largest investment banks, reported net earnings of $11.6 billion in 2007 despite the credit turmoil. This case facilitates discussion on how meticulously Goldman has averted the crisis and reported revenues amidst the massive mortgage melt- down. |
