The investment bank has filed for a line of broad-based index products with extremely low fees, and planting an early flag in Europe, as they continue to try to capture a larger share of the $4t ETF market.
“As we continue to grow and build out our ETF business, along with our recent acquisitions, it just makes sense in some areas for us to have the building blocks that fuel those portfolios,” said Steve Sachs, head of capital markets for ETFs at Goldman.

Goldman emerged in 2015, establishing itself as a leader in factor investing with its ActiveBeta U.S. Large Cap Equity fund, ticker GSLC.
