Speaking earlier this year, Goldman Sachs CFO Harvey Schwartz highlighted this relationship when discussing the bank's performance in the first quarter.
"We've had a big commitment to the hedge fund industry across equities and fixed income for a long time - we're always rooting for their performance," Schwartz said.
