WITH an equal number of responses compared to last year, Goldman Sachs achieves a nearly identical overall satisfaction score, again placing the firm among the top two in the survey. Scores in other categories mostly show somewhat of a drop from 2016, but they were still high enough to rank the firm among the top five in every survey category, and there appear to be no areas in need of particular attention. Consistent with the prior year’s survey results, the vast majority of clients say they chose Goldman Sachs as their LDI provider due to an existing relationship with the firm.
