Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said Tuesday his bank’s danger the board frameworks performed well after the constrained loosening up from a profoundly turned asset failed a few stocks in the U.S. what’s more, China and whittled down different banks.

Portions of Discovery and ViacomCBS fell drastically in March after venture banks started shopping enormous squares of the stocks at profoundly limited costs when a customer neglected to meet edge necessities. That customer was generally answered to be the family office Archegos Capital Holdings, a profoundly turned asset run by Bill Hwang.
