Description: GEM Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta

The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (GEM) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track an underlying index of equity securities from emerging market issuers. To meet its investment objective, the fund commits at least 80% of its assets to securities included in the index, including depositary receipts and the underlying stocks backing those receipts. Launched in September 2015, the ETF operates as a pooled investment vehicle traded on the NYSE, offering investors broad, diversified access to developing-market equities through a single, exchange-traded security.

As an ActiveBeta-branded product, the fund reflects Goldman Sachs factor-based (or smart beta) investment approach, which uses rules-based weighting on characteristics such as value, momentum, quality, and low volatility rather than traditional market-capitalization weighting. Its classification within the Diversified Emerging Markets category signals exposure across multiple countries and sectors within the developing world, providing geographic and economic diversification beyond a single emerging economy.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Emerging market equities rise as dollar weakens and Fed cuts rates
  • Goldman Sachs Asset Management AUM grows with EM ETF inflows
  • Fee competition intensifies from Vanguard and iShares EM ETFs
