Goldman is set to start cutting more underperformers as soon as next month, according to reports.

The Wall Street bank reinstated its annual pruning last year after pausing it during the pandemic, but has also been making deeper cuts across its business as it battles a deal drought. In January, it cut around 3,000 roles and followed these with a second round of redundancies in June, which hit 125 managing directors.
