Our read on GGUS

ETF.net Research

In short

BGoldman's plain-vanilla shelf. GGUS tracks the same Russell 1000 Growth index the household names use, charges 0.12%, and undercuts the category's median fee. No stock picking, no Goldman house view, just the growth half of US large caps.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks returns that closely track its underlying index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  • 0.12% a year: a third less than IWF on the identical Russell 1000 Growth index, and below the 0.18% median for US growth funds.
  • Its whole job is mirroring the Russell 1000 Growth Index before fees, and it is one of the closest trackers in its peer group.
  • About 400 large US growth names in one ticker, chosen by the index rather than a Goldman analyst. Distributions come quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded next to the giants of this category, so bid-ask spreads can run wider and larger orders can move the price.
  • Not the cheapest door to this index: VONG tracks the same Russell 1000 Growth benchmark for 0.06%.
  • Launched in late 2023, so the record is short, and it owns only the growth side of large caps, with no value holdings as ballast.
