Repeat pull from proven relationships plus room left

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) — this company's answers

The model's full reasoning — Q2 2023 call → NOWe need to analyze the transcript for the two conditions: (1) existing customers/accounts/partners/members/programs taking more on their own initiative, with expansion already occurring, and (2) management conveying that these relationships remain lightly penetrated with substantial room for more. Let's scan the transcript for relevant statements. The call covers various businesses: Global Banking and Markets, Asset & Wealth Management, Platform Solutions, etc. We need to find if management describes existing relationships deepening. Key points: David Solomon mentions "One Goldman Sachs operating ethos" and "client-centric mindset" but that's general. He talks about "strengthened our efforts to bring to bear the best of the firm's capabilities and holistically serve clients" - that's about serving clients better, but not necessarily about existing clients taking more. Denis Coleman discusses "equities financing revenues" and "FICC financing" - he says "we continue to see attractive deployment opportunities to support further growth" and "our strategic priority to grow financing across both FICC and equities continues to yield results as these activities increase the durability of our revenue base". But is that about existing clients taking more? Possibly, but not explicitly stated as existing clients expanding. There is a mention of "private banking and lending" revenues being a record, and "we continue to see positive momentum in this business as we benefit from higher deposit balances and NII." That could be existing clients, but not clearly stated. The question specifically asks about counterparties that have already been served and proven themselves, and are currently taking more on their own initiative. The transcript does not seem to have a clear narrative of existing customers expanding their usage. There is talk about "growing market share" and "underpenetrated portions of the client base" but that is about gaining new clients or expanding into new areas, not necessarily existing clients deepening. For example, Denis Coleman says: "we're also observing that there's a virtuous reinforcement of our commitments to grow market share and to cover clients more holistically over a multiyear period.
