Goldman Sachs Asset Management has launched two actively-managed exchange-traded funds across the Emea region.
The Ucits funds – one denominated in euros and the other in US dollars – aim to achieve a long-term return by investing in fixed income securities rated below investment grade.
The strategies aim to outperform their benchmarks over the long-term by selecting securities and obtaining exposures by analysing quantitative and technical factors to evaluate investment opportunities.
The launch follows Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s entry into active ETFs in the Emea region earlier this year.
The new ETFs are listed on the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse, with Borsa Italiana and Six to follow. The ETFs will be registered in key markets across the Emea region.
Hilary Lopez, head of the Emea Third-Party Wealth Business at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said: “Our clients remain focussed on their strategic allocations in fixed income, looking to active management to take advantage of changing market dynamics.
“These new ETFs benefit from the advantages offered by the ETF wrapper while leveraging Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s long history and deep expertise in actively managing fixed income assets.”
Goldman Sachs Asset Management manages 51 ETF strategies globally as of today, representing over $38.7 billion in assets as of 31 December 2024.
