Goldman Sachs surpasses $1 trillion in M&A advisory roles, fastest on record

Goldman Sachs has advised on more than $1 trillion of mergers and acquisitions so far this year, the fastest any bank has reached the milestone. The pace has been driven by a string of megadeals, including Dominion Energy Inc.’s $118 billion sale to NextEra Energy Inc. Goldman is significantly ahead of rivals, with its closest competitor still about $300 billion short of $1 trillion.
