Goldman Sachs plans move to South Florida
Investment bank has looked at spaces in Palm Beach County, Fort Lauderdale for asset management arm
Goldman Sachs Group is considering moving its asset management division to South Florida, potentially joining other financial giants who have left New York for the Miami area.
The investment bank has looked at spaces in Palm Beach County and Fort Lauderdale, Bloomberg reported. Goldman Sachs is looking to take advantage of tax benefits if it opens a home base in Florida. Florida, which lacks a state income tax, has increasingly attracted wealthy executives throughout the pandemic.
Goldman Sachs’ asset management arm brings in about $8 billion a year, accounting for about a quarter of its revenue, according to Bloomberg. Investment professionals and back-office staff would eventually work out of the Florida office.
Earlier this year, Goldman Sachs managing director Douglas Sacks paid nearly $12 million for a condo at Eighty Seven Park in Miami Beach.
A number of major investment firms have opened offices or moved their headquarters to South Florida. Ken Griffin’s Citadel, Paul Singer’s Elliott Management Corp. and Blackstone Group are all making the trip south. Blackstone will operate out of the Southeast Financial Center in downtown Miami until it moves to a permanent location for its tech employees nearby, executives said during a recent webinar.
Singer is moving the headquarters of his hedge fund to West Palm Beach from Midtown Manhattan, as his expected successor, Jon Pollock, relocated to his West Palm home during the pandemic.

The USA should be able to attract several top companies from Cananda due to high taxes and hostility towards big business.
Encana moving to U.S. because of Canadian 'hostility' to oil and gas, says founder
The Canadian government has 'debilitated the industry', says former president and CEO, Gwyn Morgan
Encana was a Canadian giant. The oil and gas company's name was short for Energy Canada and its roots go back to the early days of the country.
But the company announced Thursday that it will be changing its name to Ovintia and moving its headquarters to the United States.
Encana's CEO says the move has has nothing to do with Canadian politics. But Gwyn Morgan, the company's founder, isn't so sure. He explained why in an interview with As it Happens guest host Megan Williams.
Here is part of their conversation.
After all the years you spent at Encana, how does it feel for you to hear they're moving to the United States?
But what I didn't, of course, anticipate is that, through government policy that actually debilitated the industry, it would find it necessary to kind of export itself, if I could put it that way.
In other words, rather than somebody else taking over the company and moving the headquarters, it did it by itself. And that's because, you know, it felt it had no choice with the business climate here in Canada for that industry.

Re: Let the truth be known
Although all 50 states have certified their election results and the Supreme Court swiftly rejected an emergency request from Pennsylvania Republicans to block election results in the commonwealth, the justices are now grappling with a new controversial bid from Texas, supported by President Donald Trump and 17 other Republican-led states.
They are asking the Supreme Court for an emergency order to invalidate the ballots of millions of voters in four battleground states -- Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania -- even though there is no evidence of widespread fraud.
Critics of the President and his allies say the case reflects an audacious and legally dubious gambit to keep the lawsuits flowing in order to prolong baseless claims that President-elect Joe Biden's victory was somehow illegitimateComment

Canadian Pipeline Protest Forces Closure Of Major Rail Link
February 14, 20206:16 AM ET
An indigenous-led anti-pipeline protest has shut down a vital cross-continent rail line in Canada, disrupting freight and passenger service and costing millions of dollars in lost revenue, officials say.
The Mohawks of Tyendinaga are protesting the 416-mile, $4.68 billion (6.2 billion Canadian dollars) Coastal GasLink pipeline running from northern British Columbia to a natural gas facility near Kitimat, British Columbia. They've used snowplows, barrels and wooden barricades to block the tracks, forcing Canadian National Railway to temporarily close the line.
Protests in Ontario have also taken place in support of the indigenous chiefs.
The pipeline passes through the traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation near Houston, British Columbia, in the Canadian west.
The blockades went up last week after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police tried to enforce a court order demanding that construction workers be allowed access to the land. Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs and their supporters refused to move. In a series of confrontations at various protester camps, the RCMP arrested more than two dozen people.
"They came in with armed forces to remove peaceful people that are doing the right thing at the right time for the right reasons," Na'Mok, one of the chiefs, told NPR. "We're protecting the land, the air, the water, our rights and title as hereditary chiefs, and we're exercising our jurisdiction."
