Goldman Sachs taps BlackRock’s Amanda Lynam as chief credit strategist

Lynam will join Goldman’s global investment research group in late March, according to a spokesperson for the bank. She returns after spending three years at BlackRock, where she served as head of macro credit research and oversaw analysis spanning global fixed income, liquid corporate credit, and alternative assets.
She replaces Lotfi Karoui, who left Goldman last year after an 18-year tenure, during which he also led research covering credit, mortgages, and structured products.
Lynam previously spent more than a decade at Goldman, first joining the bank in 2005 and later returning in 2016 after a brief period at Nomura. At BlackRock, she was part of the private financing solutions group and sat on the firm’s women in investments executive committee.
The appointment comes as Goldman continues to update senior roles within its research division. Earlier this year, the bank also named a new chief US equity strategist following the departure of long-serving analyst David Kostin.
BlackRock declined to comment, and Lynam also declined to comment on the move.
