GSEW | Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF

GSEW ISSUER

The Goldman Sachs Fund Complex, issuer of the GSEW, follows a distinctive investment strategy aimed at tracking the performance of the underlying index, which comprises large capitalization U.S. issuers. With at least 80% of its assets allocated to securities within the index, GSEW aims to mirror the Solactive US Large Cap Index.

This approach ensures diversification across the index components, which totaled 497 securities as of December 1, 2023, with a wide market capitalization range. While GSEW typically maintains parity with the index, deviations may occur due to practical constraints, prompting the fund to utilize sampling or other investment techniques under the discretion of its Investment Adviser. Notably, GSEW may concentrate its investments in specific industries, aligning with the sectoral composition of the index, subject to fluctuations over time. Owned and calculated by Solactive AG, the index serves as the benchmark guiding GSEW's investment decisions, reflecting the fund's commitment to passive management principles.
