Last week's trivia answer

Founded in 1869 in New York by a German immigrant and his son-in-law, I became one of America's largest private companies. I went public in 1999. As an investment bank, I've helped companies raise money via debt and equity stock and have taken public firms such as Sears, Merck and Ford. I'm one of the most sought-after employers by MBA grads. My 2007 revenue totaled about $46 billion, nearly double 2005 levels. My assets under management total nearly $900 billion. Who am I?
