Goldman Sachs has unveiled the first exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launched through its ETF Accelerator platform, a digital initiative facilitating efficient ETF launches, listings, and management. The three actively managed ETFs, introduced by Brandes Investment Partners, include the Brandes U.S. Small-Mid Cap Value ETF (BSMC), the Brandes U.S. Value ETF (BUSA), and the Brandes International ETF (BINV). These funds aim for long-term capital appreciation by investing in undervalued companies identified by Brandes’ investment committees.
The Goldman Sachs ETF Accelerator, launched in November 2022, addresses client demand and offers comprehensive services covering fund launch, integration into the ETF ecosystem, portfolio implementation, and capital markets solutions. Lisa Mantil, Global Head of Goldman Sachs ETF Accelerator, emphasized the platform’s commitment to supporting clients’ ambitions in the ETF industry, leveraging the firm’s extensive ETF expertise, relationships, and advanced technology capabilities.
