"Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:GSLC) stands out as a multi-factor ETF that has more to offer than a run-of-the-mill S&P 500 index fund. The ETF seems better balanced, with a weighting that's not based on market cap but various traits that I believe are far more meaningful. Undoubtedly, size isn't everything. Factors like value, quality, momentum, and, of course, relative volatility are worth careful consideration."
"And while the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF shares many top holdings with the S&P 500, the weightings and sector breakdown are slightly different. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that Goldman's ETF is a tad cheaper (27.4 times trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) vs. 28.8 for the S&P 500), while offering returns that aren't that much lower than the S&P 500."
Goldman Sachs offers a growing lineup of ETFs that cater to different investor objectives, from growth-oriented capital appreciation to yield-focused income. The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (GSLC) employs a multi-factor approach emphasizing value, quality, momentum, and relative volatility rather than pure market-cap weighting. GSLC shares many top holdings with the S&P 500 but adjusts weightings and sector exposures to achieve a more balanced profile. GSLC shows a slightly lower trailing P/E (27.4) versus the S&P 500 (28.8) and delivers returns that closely track the index while potentially reducing downside through a value tilt.
