The heightened participation of small investors in companies’ initial public offerings is a concern for the chief executive of US investment bank Goldman Sachs.

“I do think we’re in a moment in time where there’s a lot of euphoria. I personally am concerned about that,” David Solomon told CNBC’s Squawk Box. “I don’t think in the long run that’s healthy. I think it will rebalance over time, as it always does.”
