NEW YORK, October 26, 2023 – Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“Goldman Sachs”) today announced the launch of two active ETFs, the Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Core Premium Income ETF (GPIX) and the Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Core Premium Income ETF (GPIQ) (collectively “the funds”).

The actively managed transparent funds seek to provide investors with an opportunity to generate current income and growth through a dynamic options overwrite strategy. 

“As we have experienced extended periods of volatility, investors have been demanding more ways to enhance their core portfolio holdings with products that can potentially deliver consistent monthly income, lower volatility and offer a diverse source of yield,” said Michael Crinieri, Global Head of Exchange Traded Funds at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. “We’re excited to add GPIX and GPIQ to our growing franchise of ETFs and meet demand for cost-effective active solutions that aim to deliver more specific investment outcomes.”

The Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Core Premium Income ETF (GPIX)
seeks to maintain style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which includes approximately 500 large cap companies representing about 80% of available market capitalization, while providing monthly income distributions at a relatively stable rate. 

The Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Core Premium Income ETF (GPIQ)
seeks to maintain style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to its benchmark, the Nasdaq-100 Index®, which tracks 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq, while providing monthly income distributions at a relatively stable rate.   

“GPIX and GPIQ leverage the benefits of the ETF wrapper to broaden investor access to the expertise of the broader Wealth Investment Solutions team, a global deep and broad platform skilled at designing and building personalized portfolios and customized investment solutions tailored to client investment goals and objectives,” said Monali Vora, Head of Wealth Investment Solutions, Goldman Sachs Asset Management. “Both funds are a testament to our commitment to answer client demand and design investment strategies to help a range of clients solve for their portfolio objectives.”

With the addition of GPIX and GPIQ, Goldman Sachs Asset Management manages more than $30 billion across 43 ETF strategies as of September 30, 2023.
