Goldman Sachs Asset Management just added two new actively managed ETFs to its fixed-income arsenal, listing the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Bond ETF (GCPB) and the Goldman Sachs Income ETF (GINC) on NYSE Arca. The launches reflect a broader push by one of Wall Street’s biggest names to meet growing investor appetite for actively managed bond funds packaged in the ETF wrapper.
Lindsay Rosner, GSAM’s Head of Multi-Sector Investing, presented both products during NYSE Live coverage, positioning them as complementary tools for investors navigating a bond market that has been anything but boring over the past few years.
What GCPB and GINC actually do
The two funds target different corners of the fixed-income universe, though both share the common thread of active management.
GCPB is built around what GSAM calls “core-plus bond exposure.” In plain terms, that means the fund starts with a foundation of investment-grade bonds, the kind that anchor most traditional bond portfolios, and then layers in allocations to higher-yielding sectors like high-yield credit, emerging market debt, or securitized assets. The “plus” is where the active management earns its keep, with portfolio managers selectively reaching beyond the safe stuff when they see opportunity.
GINC takes a different angle. Its primary objective is generating a high level of current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary goal. Think of it as the fund you’d pick if your main concern is cash flow rather than total return.
GSAM’s growing ETF ambitions
These launches aren’t happening in a vacuum. GSAM has been steadily building out its ETF platform, with a particular emphasis on active fixed-income strategies.
In December 2025, the firm rolled out three actively managed fixed-income UCITS ETFs targeting European investors. The addition of GCPB and GINC on the US side signals that GSAM sees the active bond ETF category as a multi-geography opportunity worth investing in heavily.
