David Solomon, chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, commented: “This transaction demonstrates our continued progress in narrowing the focus of our consumer business.

“While GreenSky is an attractive business, we are focused on advancing the strategy we laid out for our two core franchises. In Global Banking & Markets, we’ve improved our wallet share and are demonstrating strong growth in financing activities; and across our Asset & Wealth Management platform we are making very strong progress towards both our fundraising and management fee targets.”

Sixth Street is the driving force behind the consortium that is buying GreenSky, which additionally involves money and accounts under the control of KKR, Bayview Asset Management, and CardWorks.

The agreement also features strategic finance from CPP Investments and sizeable backing from PIMCO via an asset acquisition.
