Its smaller Investment Management segment provides wealth management services to high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients, complemented by interests in asset managers and private equity fund vehicles. The firm serves corporations, sponsors, investors, and financial institutions globally, generating fees from advisory engagements, transaction fees, research and trading commissions, and asset management revenues.
