1 GOLDMAN SACHS Investment Category: Income Sector: FINANCIAL Fixed Income Research Evan Marks, CFA January 17, 2018 Company Overview The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is a bank holding and a global investment banking, securities and investment management company. The company provides a range of financial services to customers, including corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth individuals. Appropriate for Income Recommendation We consider bonds of Goldman Sachs Group to be an appropriate holding for investors seeking Income within a well-diversified portfolio. Edward Jones Credit Strength Assessment Parent Credit Ratings Moody's... A3/Stable S&P... BBB+/Stable Fitch... A/Stable Financial Data Debt/Capital... 71% Total Debt/Equity % Earnings to Fixed Charges x U.S. Recommended Corporate Bond Sector Weightings Financial (30%- 45%) Utilities (10%- 25%) Industrial (35%- 55%) Investment Summary Goldman Sachs is a premier investment banking firm whose financial condition was negatively impacted by the financial turmoil of ; however, Goldman has strengthened its financial position over the past several years as the firm has increased its capital and deleveraged its balance sheet. While Goldman Sachs' business model remains more exposed to another market downturn or a risk- management lapse, we believe the firm has taken many positive steps to reduce its overall risk profile. While we remain concerned about Goldman's reliance on short-term funding and the potential riskiness of Goldman's assets, we believe that Goldman Sachs' current financial position is sound with the ability to continue to pay interest and principal payments. Bond Strengths Solid financial position with strong capital levels and high levels of short-term liquidity. Significant deleveraging over the past couple of years. Lower leverage is generally viewed as positive. Strong risk-management culture and procedures. U.S. Recommended Bond Ladder Short-term (up to 5 years) 30%- 40% Intermediate-term (6-15 years) 40%- 50% Long-term (16+ years) 15%- 25% Leading market position within global investment banking. Bond Weaknesses Moderate reliance on short-term funding sources, which makes the confidence in Goldman Sachs financial position important and exposes Goldman Sachs to moderate funding risks. If Goldman is unable to fund its business in the short term, this would materially impair Goldman's business. The potential to be more exposed, in our view, to market-related and counterparty risks relative to other financials, and experience higher losses if we see severe market dislocations. A business model that is less transparent than peers because of the nature of its trading and principal investing operations. Please see important disclosures and certification on page 4 of the report. Page 1 of 5
2 Improved Financial Position Recent News and Analysis 1/17/18: Goldman Sachs reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.68 per share, ahead of analysts' expectations. The results exclude a $4.4 billion charge taken in the quarter related to the recently passed tax reform. The upside compared with expectations that was driven by strong investment banking results and better-than-anticipated net interest income, which offset much weaker-than-anticipated trading results. Fixedincome, currency and commodity (FICC) trading results declined 50% compared with the same period a year ago, with the current quarter's results nearing the lowest levels in a decade. Goldman Sachs announced that its regulatory capital declined during the quarter. From a bondholder's perspective, Goldman Sachs produced a mixed quarter as its overall results were solid but masked some concerning underlying trends in some businesses, and capital levels declined. Expenses were down roughly 1% year-over-year largely due to lower compensation expenses. Goldman's trading revenue declined much more than peers and is a bit concerning because it has generally been weaker than peers for the better part of a year. The firm has outlined plans to address areas of opportunity in the business in the next few years, and we will continue to monitor its progress on this front. Goldman Sachs' regulatory capital declined during the quarter, but, in our view, remains adequate. We continue to consider bonds of Goldman Sachs to be an appropriate holding for investors. 2/15/17: Fixed Income Research has increased its credit strength assessment of Goldman Sachs to Average from Below Average. Goldman Sachs has reduced its reliance on short-term funding, greatly increased its deposit-gathering capabilities, reduced leverage, and increased the amount of liquid assets it maintains on its balance sheet. The firm has also built one of the stronger capital positions among its peers. We believe the firm's improved funding model and reduced overall risk appetite, combined with its demonstrated strong risk-management cultures and procedures, should allow the firm to continue to generate solid profitability while managing the amount of potential operating performance fluctuation through the course of an economic cycle. As a result, we believe that Goldman Sachs has average credit strength and that its bonds remain an appropriate holding for investors who seek income within a well-diversified portfolio. Company Outlook Leading Market Position Goldman Sachs is one of the leading investment banks in the world. Goldman has leading market positions in several investment banking categories such as trading, securities underwriting and mergers and acquisitions advice. We believe Goldman's industry-leading positions are sustainable given Goldman's talented employee base and the strong riskmanagement discipline that we believe has become part of the culture at Goldman. Goldman Sachs converted to a bank holding company during the midst of the financial services turmoil to allow it access to government funding. As a bank holding company Goldman is required to hold minimum levels of capital and is subject to more regulatory oversight. Goldman's financial position has improved quite a bit over the past few years as earnings have rebounded. We would also note that Goldman only lost money for one quarter during the financial turmoil, a testament to its strong operations. Currently we believe Goldman's financial position appears favorable when compared with other bank holding companies.

Leverage refers to the amount of assets held versus the amount of capital. Think of leverage in terms of buying a house: The more money you put down, the less you are leveraged. Goldman has deleveraged its balance sheet by reducing its assets and also by increasing its capital. The result of this deleveraging should result in a less risky balance sheet and a stronger overall financial condition. Moderate Reliance on Short-term Funding, Partially Offset by Rising Liquidity Based on the nature of Goldman's large trading business, Goldman relies more heavily than peers on short-term funding to facilitate its operations. A sudden loss of confidence in Goldman, or a market dislocation, could result in loss of funding for a period of time. Funding and liquidity is of critical importance to Goldman and others in the financial services industry. Most failures of financial companies have occurred in large part due to insufficient funding and liquidity. To offset the potential loss of funding, Goldman has made a conscious effort to increase the size of its liquidity pool, which has grown from $61 billion at the end of 2007 to over $219 billion currently. This liquidity pool consists primarily of U.S. government securities and cash and could be used for a short period of time if Goldman were to lose access to funding. Goldman has also decreased the amount of level 3 assets (which do not trade in a liquid market and can be difficult to sell) it carries on its balance sheet. Page 2 of 5

This is due to an improved capital and financial position along with reduced risk exposures and a more balanced revenue stream. These factors help to offset the more volatile nature of Goldman Sachs' earnings when compared with other credits. 2% 1% 50 10% 5% 0% Q407 Q308 Q209 Q110 Q410 Q311 Q212 Q113 Q413 0 Q407 Q308 Q209 Q110 Q410 Q311 Q212 Q113 Q413 0% Business Model Less Transparent While financial services companies in general are somewhat opaque and it is difficult to know the exact risks that are being taken, we believe Goldman Sachs' model is less transparent and has the potential to generate significant risks that could negatively impact its financial position. Goldman's large trading business, while primarily only executing transactions, does allow for the ability to put some of its own capital at risk. While Goldman's track record is very good, the potential risk of this activity could lead to significant losses, which could impact Goldman's financial position. Industry Outlook Goldman Sachs operates in four main business segments investment banking, trading, principal investing and lending, and asset management. Investment banking involves Goldman advising companies and underwriting debt and equity. Trading is Goldman acting as a market maker for a number of products and also risking its own money in trading. Principal investing is investing Goldman's own money; this is primarily in real estate. Goldman also offers loans and houses its banking operations within its principal lending segment. Asset management involves managing and servicing assets for others. The industries that Goldman operates in are generally viewed as competitive with many large financial firms such as Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup participating in all or parts of these industries. Financial Strength We believe Goldman Sachs' financial position is sound. While the company was impacted by the market dislocation associated with the financial turmoil, it was hurt less than many of its financial services peers. Goldman has taken steps to deleverage its balance sheet and strengthen its financial position. We believe these steps have left Goldman Sachs well-positioned to continue to meet its debt obligations. Edward Jones clients own both senior and subordinate debt of Goldman Sachs, with subordinated debt ranking lower and having a one-notch-lower credit rating.
