Our read on GSUS
AGoldman's no-gimmick beta play: one fund holding about 900 US large and mid caps for 0.09% a year. In a peer group stuffed with factor tilts and strategy screens, this one just owns the market cheaply.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of its underlying U.S. large- and mid-cap equity index.
Why people hold it
- 0.09% a year, a fraction of what the typical fund in its strategy-heavy peer group charges.
- About 900 holdings spanning large and mid caps, so it reaches well past mega-cap-only benchmarks in a single ticker.
- The mandate is simple: match the Solactive GBS United States Large & Mid Cap Index. It has stayed tight to that index.
- Low fee plus close tracking puts it among the stronger builds in its peer group.
Worth knowing
- It takes the market as it comes, so the largest US companies carry the largest weights. A top-heavy index makes a top-heavy fund.
- Launched in 2020, so its live record is shorter than the decades-old core funds sitting next to it.
- Moderately traded rather than a tape-topper, so spreads matter more on large orders. Income lands quarterly.
