- Goldman Sachs Value Opportunities ETF (GVLE) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of equity securities of quality companies with identifiable competitive advantages and sustainable growth potential whose intrinsic value is not fully reflected in their stock prices; it employs a fundamental investment process involving industry-specific valuation metrics, in-depth company research assessing business quality, profitability, and characteristics, and sector portfolio manager recommendations; the Fund may invest across all market capitalizations, primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, with up to 20% in foreign securities including those from emerging markets, and up to 10% in fixed income securities such as government, corporate, and bank debt obligations including high yield; it is non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, typically holding 20-40 companies, and trades on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC with an expense ratio of 0.45%; performance is measured against the Russell 1000 Value Index.
The ETF, issued by Goldman Sachs ETF Trust and managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P., originated from the Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund, which was established on July 31, 2015, and underwent a reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees, transferring its assets into the newly created GVLE shell ETF on or about November 14, 2025, to better position the value-oriented strategy in the ETF format while maintaining substantially similar management and investment approach.
It operates within the U.S. equity and global asset management industry, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking value opportunities in undervalued stocks with strong fundamentals; portfolio managers include Charles “Brook” Dane, Kevin Martens, and Raj Garigipati, who have managed the strategy since 2018, 2019, and 2025, respectively; as of late 2025, the Fund holds approximately 32-33 securities with total assets around $53.61 million.
Goldman Sachs, headquartered in New York, continues to expand its ETF offerings, as evidenced by its December 2025 agreement to acquire Innovator Capital Management for approximately $2 billion, expected to close in Q2 2026, enhancing access to defined-outcome ETFs and active strategies amid rapid growth in the ETF market.
