Goldman Sachs Renames SLK Broker Dealer
"By aligning the SLK execution and clearing services with the Goldman Sachs brand and name, we have addressed the requests of our current clients and strengthened our efforts to market these services to new clients," said Duncan Niederauer, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs.
Over the next few weeks, client accounts of Spear, Leeds & Kellogg, L.P. will be converted to Goldman Sachs Execution & Clearing, L.P. accounts, resulting in GSEC-branded reports, documents and web-based tools.
This name change does not apply to the NYSE stock and index specialist businesses conducted through Spear, Leeds & Kellogg Specialists, L.L.C. and Spear, Leeds & Kellogg Index Specialists, L.L.C., respectively, which will retain their current names.
