Goldman Sachs is betting big on small business. The bank is investing $100 million in small businesses in rural communities across the U.S., starting in Arkansas and North Dakota. Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon says the goal is to help small business owners who may not have the same access to resources that their counterparts in large cities due. When it comes to Goldman Sachs' (GS) business, Solomon admits it has been a "tough year for capital markets activity." There is some reason for optimism, with Arm and Instacart readying to make thier market debuts. If those go well, Solomon tells Yahoo Finance, it could create a "virtuous cycle of bringing some of the other IPOs that are in the wings waiting to market." "I do see a pickup in capital markets activity during the course of the fall," Solomon says, though it may not get back to normalized levels. Solomon says that right now, the bank is focusing on its investment banking and markets business and its asset wealth management business.
