New York, NY – June 26, 2025 – Goldman Sachs Asset Management today announced the launch of the Goldman Sachs Core Bond ETF (GBND) and the Goldman Sachs Corporate Bond ETF (GIGL).

The platform offers a wide range of active portfolios seeking to capitalize on opportunities, manage risk and help investors achieve their long-term objectives.

The Goldman Sachs Core Bond ETF (GBND) is an active strategy that is designed to serve as a foundational diversified fixed income solution. Managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s Multi-Sector Fixed Income Team, the ETF will invest primarily across the U.S. investment grade opportunity set including government bonds, securitized assets and corporate bonds. The team combines robust risk management with macroeconomic views, sector allocation, and security-level analysis seeking a total return consisting of capital appreciation and income.

The Goldman Sachs Corporate Bond ETF (GIGL) is an active corporate credit strategy seeking to deliver a high level of total return consisting of capital appreciation and income. Managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s industry leading Global Corporate Credit Team, the ETF primarily invests in investment grade corporate bonds and may also opportunistically allocate to sectors not included in the benchmark. The ETF uses a process that combines proprietary bottom-up credit research with top-down macro insights.
