Goldman Sachs on Thursday dropped the names of its newest partner class, elevating 95 members to its highest designation of leaders outside the C-suite.

The 2024 class is the largest since David Solomon took over as CEO in 2018 and reflects the bank's growth expectations in dealmaking and asset and wealth management.

This year's class is also one of Goldman's most diverse, with a record 26 women and a record level of Hispanic executive promotions, a company executive said on Thursday.

"A spirit of partnership has been at the heart of Goldman Sachs' culture for more than 155 years, with the firm's partners exemplifying the best traditions of leadership," Solomon and John Waldron, Goldman's president and chief operating officer, said in a joint statement.

Since taking the top job in 2018, Solomon has been shrinking the bank's partnership ranks in a bid to increase its exclusivity. The Goldman executive said this year's larger size wasn't an about-face from that goal but a reflection of the firm's commitment to its key businesses like investment banking and money management. The executive said the size of the partnership overall had remained largely consistent even as the firm has grown under Solomon.

The last time Goldman tapped new partners, in 2022, it elevated 80 members. In the 2020 cycle, it appointed just 60 new partners, which helped reduce the size of the overall partnership to fewer than 440 members, down from 484 in 2018.

Here are some key figures about Goldman's 2024 partner class:

• 42% of the class started at Goldman as campus hires, and 29% started as summer interns with the firm.
• The average tenure of the partner class is 16 years at Goldman Sachs.
• 6% are Hispanic.
• 18% are Asian.
• 4% are Black, down from 7% in 2020. The Goldman executive acknowledged that the firm wants to improve in this area.
• 55 are from Goldman's Global Banking and Markets division, which houses investment banking and trading.
• 26 are from Goldman's growing Asset and Wealth Management division.
• Just one new partner is from Goldman's Platform Solutions business, which houses its transaction banking services.
