Goldman Sachs Asset Management has launched two actively-managed exchange-traded funds in the Emea region.

Both are Ucits corporate bond ETFs, one denominated in euros and the other in US dollars.

The strategies aim to achieve long-term return by actively investing primarily in investment grade fixed income securities of corporate issuers.

The ETFs will be managed by the company’s fixed income and liquidity solutions team, which manages over $1.75 trillion in assets globally.

The launches represent the first active ETFs launched by Goldman Sachs Asset Management in the Emea market, with the firm having doubled its active offering in the US during 2024, reflecting the continued growth of demand and broadening of use cases for ETFs.

The new ETFs are currently listed on the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Börse and 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: “We believe the active ETF market is poised for continued growth, particularly in fixed income.

Recent trends demonstrate strong demand for active strategies, with active fixed income ETFs seeing remarkable inflows globally.

“These new ETFs reflect our dedication to helping investors access the full potential of the fixed income market, with the added advantage of active management to optimise outcomes.”

Goldman Sachs Asset Management manages 49 ETF strategies globally, representing over $38.7 billion in assets as of 31 December 2024.
