Goldman Sachs Asset Management has expanded its active ETF platform in EMEA with the launch of two fixed income UCITS ETFs: Goldman Sachs Global Credit Plus Active UCITS ETF (GCPA) and Goldman Sachs Global Income Bond Opportunities Active UCITS ETF (GIBO).
GCPA seeks to offer diversified exposure to global credit, with a main focus on investment-grade corporate bonds, complemented by allocations to high yield, emerging markets and securitized assets.
GIBO actively invests in fixed income markets and sectors worldwide, allocating capital to those segments that, according to the management team, present the best risk-return ratio at each stage of the economic and market cycle.
Management team and experience
Both ETFs are managed by the Fixed Income and Liquidity Solutions team at Goldman Sachs AM, which combines top-down macroeconomic views with bottom-up security selection. The global team has 35 years of experience in fixed income and manages over 1.97 trillion dollars as of March 31, 2026, with 390 investment professionals operating in multiple regions, sectors and markets.
These launches reinforce the firm's momentum in active ETFs in EMEA, following the expansion of its platform with 13 new products in 2025. The unhedged share classes of the ETFs are listed on the London Stock Exchange and SIX, while the hedged classes will be listed soon on the London Stock Exchange, Deutsche Börse and Borsa Italiana. The ETFs will be registered in the main EMEA markets.
We continue to see strong demand for fixed income ETFs, particularly for solutions that go beyond traditional index exposures. Building on the momentum of our active platform in EMEA, we are expanding our offering with global income and credit investment strategies, designed with the aim of delivering better outcomes for investors.
Brendan McCarthy, global head of ETF Distribution at Goldman Sachs AM
