The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
No equity stake in another company appears in The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.'s filings. That is the sourced answer, not a hole in the research.

The full register, from 13F filings
The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 2,946 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
2,946 managers reported a position, together holding 214.3m shares, or 73.6% of the company. The 40 largest are listed.
Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.
What a reader needs to know to read these numbers
- The 13F exclusion, read this first. Goldman Sachs files a very large Form 13F as an institutional investment manager. The 13F-HR filed 14 August 2026 for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 (accession 0000886982-26-000519) contains 14,070 information table rows. This is client, customer and asset-management money run through Goldman Sachs Asset Management, the private bank and related managers, not Goldman's own strategic equity holdings. Under the brief's exclusion of index-fund style and client positions, none of these 14,070 rows appear in holdings, following the same treatment already applied to JPMorgan's 13F in this project.
- Holdings is empty and that is the sourced finding, not a gap. The Q2 2026 Form 10-Q (period ended 30 June 2026, filed 3 August 2026) was searched for 'equity securities', 'equity method', 'non-marketable', 'measurement alternative', 'principal investments' and 'investments in funds'. Note 8 (Investments) discloses 'Equity securities, at fair value' of $14,226 million as of June 2026 ($13,866 million at December 2025), split 3% public equity and 97% private equity, and 80% corporate and 20% real estate asset class, plus a separate 'Equity-method investments' line of $988 million (versus $887 million at December 2025). Both are combined balances covering many investees. The filing does not name or size any individual investee within either figure, so per the brief's rule against distributing a bucket across its members, no named holding is recorded. The $14,226 million and $988 million figures are recorded here rather than fabricated per-company splits.
- A separate 'Equity securities' line of $247,166 million appears inside Note 5 (Fair Value Hierarchy) under trading assets and liabilities. This is market making and trading inventory, explicitly distinct from the Note 8 investment portfolio, and is excluded from holdings under the brief's exclusion of trading inventory.
- Berkshire Hathaway was checked rather than assumed. Its 13F-HR filed 14 August 2026 for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 (CIK 0001067983, accession 0001193125-26-352200, 89 information table rows) contains no row for Goldman Sachs Group Inc (cusip 38141G104). Berkshire is not listed in the register.
- Goldman Sachs has a single class of common stock. There is no dual-class structure and no founder control block; insider ownership is immaterial in voting terms. CEO David Solomon's beneficial ownership is 143,146 shares (about 0.05%). All directors, nominees, NEOs and other executive officers as a group hold 1,618,820 shares (about 0.56%), as of the 2 March 2026 record date in the 2026 proxy statement.
- The 2026 proxy's own 'Beneficial Owners of More than Five Percent' table (as of 2 March 2026) cites BlackRock at 23,010,145 shares (7.80%), State Street at 19,616,360 shares (6.65%) and Vanguard at 28,546,582 shares (9.68%), each sourced to older Schedule 13G/13G-A filings (BlackRock's chain runs back to 2013, and the amendments referenced predate 2026). The register instead uses each manager's own most recent Form 13F-HR, which is more current and is the same approach used elsewhere in this project; the proxy figures are recorded here as the disagreement rather than silently dropped.
- Vanguard filed Form 13F-NT (notice, no holdings) for both the quarter ended 31 March 2026 and the quarter ended 30 June 2026 under CIK 0000102909, meaning its most recent quarter-end holdings were reported by other Vanguard reporting entities rather than the parent CIK. The register therefore uses Vanguard Group's last Form 13F-HR, for the quarter ended 31 December 2025 (filed 29 January 2026), and percentages that row against the FY2025 10-K cover-page share count (296,752,922 shares as of 6 February 2026) rather than the 30 June 2026 count used for every other 13F row.
- Several register entries are themselves banks and brokers (JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley). Their 13F positions in GS are overwhelmingly client wealth-management assets and market-making inventory rather than conviction stakes, the same caveat this project already applies to bank/broker holders of JPMorgan and Broadcom stock. They are listed as active for lack of a better label.
- Register percentages for all quarter-end-30-June-2026 13F rows use 291,171,408 common shares outstanding as of 17 July 2026, from the Q2 2026 10-Q cover page. Market capitalisation ($314.7bn) and the $1,039.42 share price are as published by stockanalysis.com at the 14 August 2026 close; multiplying the 10-Q share count by that price gives approximately $302.6bn, a few percent below the published market cap, likely reflecting a slightly different or more current share count on the aggregator's side. Both figures are recorded as sourced rather than reconciled to one number.
Looked for, not found
Recorded rather than filled in. Each of these is a place where a number could have been invented and was not.
- The split of the $14,226 million 'equity securities, at fair value' balance (Note 8, Q2 2026 10-Q) and the $988 million equity-method investments balance by named investee. Searched the full text of the Q2 2026 10-Q for 'equity securities', 'equity method', 'non-marketable' and 'measurement alternative'; the filing discloses only percentage splits (public/private, corporate/real estate), not investee names or per-company carrying values.
- Whether Goldman Sachs holds any disclosed strategic minority stakes in named private companies (for example fintech or infrastructure investments) outside the combined Note 8 balances. Searched the Q2 2026 10-Q and FY2025 10-K text for 'principal investments' and 'investments in funds'; no individually named, sized investee was found within the time budget. The proxy statement's related-party section mentions Goldman Sachs underwriting activity for Circle but does not describe an equity stake by Goldman in Circle.
- The Q3 2026 10-Q, which would cover the quarter ending on or about 30 September 2026, was not yet filed as of 17 August 2026 per the EDGAR submissions feed for CIK 0000886982. Any equity position taken or resized during that quarter is not yet visible.
- Whether any Schedule 13D or 13D/G has been filed on Goldman Sachs common stock by a strategic or activist holder in 2026. Not separately searched on EDGAR full text search within the time budget; the register relies on 13F filings and the proxy's 5%-holder table, both institutional/passive in nature.
- Full institutional coverage beyond the top 7 managers listed. The register captures roughly 33% of shares outstanding across Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Geode and FMR; total institutional ownership of GS is materially higher, but sourcing additional managers' own 13F filings individually was not completed within the time budget.
