Goldman Prop Trading: Compliance with Dodd-Frank

March 2, 2011

Goldman Sachs 2010 Form 10-K includes a discussion on the impact of the Dodd-Frank Reform Act on the Firm's proprietary trading units, entitled: 'New Regulation Forced Firm to Exit, Sell Certain Businesses'.

"In light of the Dodd-Frank Act, during 2010, we liquidated substantially all of the positions that had been held within Principal Strategies in our former Equities operating segment, as this was a proprietary trading business." 

"In addition, during the first quarter of 2011, we commenced the liquidation of the positions that had been held by the global macro proprietary trading desk in our former Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities operating segment."     [NYT DealBook, 3/1]
