Goldman, Left Holding Bag on Burberry Trade, Makes Killing
A deal that went south may end up becoming one of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s most profitable trades this year. Goldman, initially stuck with Burberry Group Plc shares after helping billionaire Albert Frere offload his 6.6 percent stake in the London-based luxury company last month, has made about $30 million from selling its holding after shares in the London-based luxury company soared, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Representatives for Goldman declined to comment.
