Share of Combined Market Value

GS 48%MS 52%

Wall Street's two big investment banks. Goldman Sachs leans more on trading and investment banking; Morgan Stanley has shifted towards steadier fee income by growing its wealth-management business. Market trading volumes and merger waves affect both.

Each series is converted to a percentage of its own starting point, so all of them begin at zero. What is compared is the return over the period, not price levels.
