Goldman Sachs Active ETFs

Why Active ETFs?
Actively managed ETFs offer the potential benefits of both active management and ETFs
Compared to passive ETFs that simply mirror a market index, active ETFs have the flexibility to make strategic adjustments, with the aim to navigate volatility and potentially generate alpha. This ability to react in real-time can be particularly beneficial during periods of market uncertainty, where a manager's expertise can help mitigate risk or capture returns that might be missed by a purely passive approach.
Active ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to inefficient markets, such as emerging markets, benefitting from the experience and expertise of professional fund managers. The vehicles combine this active engine with the flexibility of intraday trading and enhanced transparency on holdings, providing investors with the information they need to assess their investments and the agility to act on it.

ETF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
An Exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a professionally managed portfolio of securities – such as equities, bonds, or other assets – that trades on an exchange throughout the trading day, similar to individual stocks. ETFs typically allow investors to gain exposure to a broad set of investments through a single security. ETFs’ range of asset classes include equities, fixed income, commodities and alternative offerings.
Passive ETFs seek to track the performance of a specific index by holding securities in similar proportions as that benchmark, much like traditional index mutual funds. Active ETFs are managed by portfolio managers who make decisions about security selection and portfolio positioning and seek to achieve specific investment objectives, such as outperforming a benchmark or managing risk, based on market conditions and their investment outlook.
ETFs offer several potential advantages relative to traditional mutual funds:
- Lower Total Cost: Structural differences give ETFs a cost advantage over other investment vehicles. Lower fees, on average, allow investors to keep more of their returns.
- Transparency: Most ETFs disclose their holdings daily, allowing investors to see exactly what they own.
- Tax Efficiency: ETFs can be more tax efficient for investors than mutual funds due to their unique creation and redemption mechanism which reduces the potential for capital gains distributions.
- Trading Ease: ETFs can be bought and sold on an exchange throughout the trading day, allowing investors to gain exposure to hundreds or thousands of underlying securities with a single trade.
Active ETFs are growing in popularity as investors seek to combine professional active portfolio management with the structural advantages of ETFs. Investors looking to navigate market uncertainty can use active ETF strategies, such as Premium Income and defined outcome, that allow portfolio managers to adjust holdings to potentially capture returns and manage risk.
Active ETFs are bought and sold on a stock exchange, just like passive ETFs and individual stocks. Investors can trade them through most brokerage accounts during normal market hours allowing investors the flexibility to manage how and when they enter or exit a position. You can learn more about ETF trading here.
- Given the nature of active management, active ETFs can come with the potential for underperformance, NAV / price volatility, and the potential for wider bid-ask spreads than larger, passive ETFs.
- Passive ETFs have the potential for market and tracking error risks, along with less adaptability.
- This is not an exhaustive list of potential risks. Investors should refer to the fund’s prospectus for additional information.
Investors typically evaluate the performance of an actively managed ETF by comparing its returns to a benchmark over time. Other important considerations include how consistently the fund has performed across different market environments, the manager’s experience and investment approach, and the associated costs. It is also important to ensure that the fund’s strategy aligns with an investor’s goals, risk tolerance, and investment time horizon.
ETFs are widely viewed as cost‑efficient investment vehicles, often offering lower total expense ratios than other pooled investments. Investors primarily pay an annual expense ratio, which covers portfolio management and operating costs. Active ETFs can carry higher expense ratios than passive ETFs, but they are typically more cost‑effective than similar active mutual funds.

The Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of stocks comprised significantly of those included in the Fund’s benchmark, the Nasdaq-100 Index (the “Index”), and selling call options with exposure to the benchmark. The Fund is managed in a way that seeks, under normal circumstances, to provide monthly distributions at a relatively stable rate with performance that captures the majority of the returns associated with the benchmark. The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. The Fund is also subject to the risks associated with writing (selling) call options, which limits the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. In a rising market, the Fund could significantly underperform the market, and the Fund’s options strategies may not fully protect it against declines in the value of the market. While the Fund seeks to provide monthly distributions, there is no guarantee that distributions will always be paid or will be paid at a relatively stable rate, and shareholders may receive distributions which constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. Because the Fund concentrates its investments in specific industries, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting those industries than if its investment were more diversified across different industries. Stock prices of technology and technology-related companies in particular may be especially volatile. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments. Performance of the equity portion of the Fund may vary substantially from the performance of the Index as a result of transaction costs, expenses and other factors.

The Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Premium Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of stocks comprised significantly of those included in the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”), and selling call options with exposure to the benchmark. The Fund is managed in a way that seeks, under normal circumstances, to provide monthly distributions at a relatively stable rate with performance that captures the majority of the returns associated with the benchmark. The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions.

While the Fund seeks to provide monthly distributions, there is no guarantee that distributions will always be paid or will be paid at a relatively stable rate, and shareholders may receive distributions which constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.

The Goldman Sachs Ultra Short Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide current income with preservation of capital. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing in U.S. Government Securities (as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus), obligations of U.S. banks, corporate notes, commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S. companies, states, municipalities and other entities, fixed and floating rate mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and repurchase agreements. The Fund is not a money market fund and does not attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Any guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. Because the Fund may invest heavily in specific sectors (for example, the financial services sector), the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting such sectors. The Fund’s investments are also subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions. Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of adverse economic or political developments. Investments in asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk (i.e., the risk that in a declining interest rate environment the Fund’s underlying mortgages may be prepaid, causing the Fund to have to reinvest at lower interest rates). The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in bonds of similar projects or in particular types of municipal securities. The Fund may make investments that are or may become illiquid. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all.
The Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities ETF seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in U.S. equity investments and invests, under normal circumstances, in approximately 20-40 companies that the Investment Adviser considers to be positioned for long-term growth. The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors, governments or countries and/or general economic conditions in the U.S. or throughout the world. Stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic, social or political developments, including regional armed conflicts, sanctions, tariffs, counter-sanctions, retaliatory tariffs and other retaliatory actions. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”, “value” or “quantitative”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ different investment styles. Because the Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in specific sectors, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting such sectors. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in one or more issuers or in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
The Goldman Sachs Municipal Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing in Municipal Securities (as defined in the Fund’s Prospectus), private activity bonds, and affiliated or unaffiliated investment companies. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in private activity bonds, whose income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate. The Fund may invest in non-investment grade securities, which involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may make investments that are or may become illiquid. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in bonds of similar projects or in particular types of Municipal Securities. Because the Fund may invest heavily in investments in particular states and sectors, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse events affecting those states and sectors than if its investments were not so focused. The Fund may be adversely impacted by changes in tax rates and policies, and is not suited for IRAs or other tax-exempt or deferred accounts. The Fund’s investments are also subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions. The Fund’s investments in other investment companies (including ETFs) subject it to additional expenses. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. In addition, the Fund may invest in a relatively small number of issuers. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
The Goldman Sachs Data Enhanced Emerging Markets Equity ETF seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-trade fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities issued by emerging country issuers. The Fund's investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic, social or political developments. Because of its exposure to Asian issuers, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of volatile securities markets, adverse exchange rates and social, political, military, regulatory, economic or environmental developments, or natural disasters that may occur in Asian countries. The Fund may invest in the securities of Chinese issuers through the China Stock Connect program, which may restrict the Fund’s ability to enter into or dispose of investments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Investment Adviser's use of quantitative models to execute the Fund's investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result. The securities of mid- and small-cap companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic, social or political developments, including regional armed conflicts, sanctions, tariffs, counter-sanctions, retaliatory tariffs and other retaliatory actions. Investing in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. REITs whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or geographic region are also subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. The securities of REITs involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements because of interest rate changes, economic conditions and other factors. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”, “value” or “quantitative”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in one or more issuers or in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
The Goldman Sachs Data Enhanced International Equity ETF seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-trade fund. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities issued by non-U.S. issuers. The Fund's investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic, social or political developments. The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in Europe and may be subject to greater losses than if it were less concentrated in Europe. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Investment Adviser's use of quantitative models to execute the Fund's investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result. The securities of mid- and small-cap companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic, social or political developments, including regional armed conflicts, sanctions, tariffs, counter-sanctions, retaliatory tariffs and other retaliatory actions. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”, “value” or “quantitative”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in one or more issuers or in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their net asset value (“NAV”) only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
SFLR and QFLR Risk:
There is no guarantee the Funds will be successful in providing the sought-after protection of their floor. The Funds’ option strategy may cause the Funds to forego a portion of any upside returns of their Equity Portfolio.
BALT and ZALT Risk:
The Funds have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be suitable for all investors. For more information regarding whether an investment in the Funds is right for you, please see "Investor Suitability" in the prospectus.
The Outcomes that the Funds seek to provide may only be realized if you are holding shares on the first day of the Outcome Period and continue to hold them on the last day of the Outcome Period. There is no guarantee that the Outcomes for an Outcome Period will be realized or that the Funds will achieve its investment objective.
Buy-write strategies are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. They are also subject to the risks associated with writing (selling) call options, which limits the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. In a rising market, the strategy could significantly underperform the market, and the options strategies may not fully protect it against declines in the value of the market.
Equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth” and “value”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and, at times, the strategy may underperform other strategies that invest in similar asset classes. The market capitalization of a company may also involve greater risks (e.g. "small" or "mid" cap companies) than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements, in addition to lower liquidity.
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity, interest rate, prepayment and extension risk. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a general rise in interest rates can result in the decline in the bond’s price. The value of securities with variable and floating interest rates are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates. Variable and floating rate securities may decline in value if interest rates do not move as expected. Conversely, variable and floating rate securities will not generally rise in value if market interest rates decline. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will default on payments of interest and principal. Credit risk is higher when investing in high yield bonds, also known as junk bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may pay off principal more quickly than originally anticipated. Extension risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may pay off principal more slowly than originally anticipated. All fixed income investments may be worth less than their original cost upon redemption or maturity.
Municipal securities are subject to credit/default risk and interest rate risk and may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business, political, environmental, or other developments if it invests a substantial portion of its assets in the bonds of similar projects or in particular types of municipal securities. While interest earned on municipal securities is generally not subject to federal tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level.
Net Asset Value is the value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the fund’s portfolio, less any liabilities, by the number of fund shares outstanding. Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the NYSE Arca. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value. The Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, above or below net asset value.
There is no guarantee that objectives will be met.
