In Brief: Goldman to Buy Stake in On-Line Broker

Goldman Sachs Group LP, Wall Street's largest investment banking partnership, said it will buy a 22% stake in Wit Capital Group Inc., an on-line broker that helps companies sell stock on the Internet.

Goldman and Wit will work together on initial public offerings. The relationship won't be exclusive, Goldman said.

The investment comes after Goldman set up a committee to forge an Internet strategy before it goes public later this year.
