A group of proprietary traders from Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street giant, are in talks with at least five different money-management or investment firms about new jobs, say people familiar with the matter.
The firms include Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Perella Weinberg Partners, Pimco, The Carlyle Group and BlackRock, according to the people familiar with the matter.
But what exactly these firms would do with these traders varies depending on their own strategy. BlackRock, for instance, has no interest in delving in to the prop-trading business, said one person familiar with the firm's thinking, but could potentially hire GSPS alumni in other trading capacities.
