Goldman Sachs' 190 partners have ratified
a proposal to take the investment bank public, in a plan intended to chain
key employees to the firm's fortunes for a long time, Reuters reported.
Goldman's partners rubber-stamped the proposal for an October IPO, one of
Wall Street's largest ever, which could value Goldman at $25 billion. The
brokerage said it will file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission "later
this summer."
