The bank said the appointments will be effective Jan. 1.

Last month, Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS) invited 60 executives to become partners as of Jan. 1, with women making up about 26.7% of the new appointments.

The global finance industry has for long been prodded to increase diversity among its senior ranks.
