- Credit exposure: payments depend on the ability of GS Finance Corp. and its guarantor, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., to meet their obligations.
- Market & liquidity risks: secondary trading may be limited and the market value can fluctuate due to numerous factors.
- Estimated value discount: the initial price includes underwriting and hedging costs, making the fair value lower than par at issuance.
