Goldman Sachs , one of the ‘ big beasts ’ of prime brokerage along with Morgan Stanley and J . P . Morgan , has tended to be a rather passive participant in the PB survey over the years , always reaching the threshold , but not actively engaging in the process and recording solid if unremarkable scores . This year , the investment bank has seen a step up in scores , outstripping the global average in most categories , most notably Capital Introductions , Listed Derivatives and Stock Borrowing and Lending . The biggest improvements were registered for Listed Derivatives [ up 40 % to a perfect 7.00 ] Stock Borrowing and Lending ( up 22 % to 6.80 ) and Capital Introductions ( up almost 20 % to 6.38 ). While FX Prime Brokerage and Risk Management recorded slight dips from last year ’ s results , the two categories remain comfortably in Very Good range . Client comments are few with most respondents keeping any additional thoughts other than the scores awarded to themselves . One compliments the bank ’ s Trading and Execution , “ Trading has been excellent all around , from competitive pricing , algos offered , and best execution ”, while suggesting a dip in client service : “ Goldman ' s day to day coverage is very good ; however , I have been experiencing issues with their response on back office issues .” The most satisfied clients appear to be those in the $ 250 million - $ 1 billion bracket , while those below that threshold are perhaps looking to be paid more attention .
