Goldman Sachs Bank USA purchased $1.45bn worth of securities from the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market fund and an additional $391m from the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations fund. The purchases were conducted over 19 March and 20 March, according to a person familiar with the matter.
