Goldman Sachs Unveils Emerging Markets ETFs with Data-Driven Strategies

Goldman Sachs Asset Management has expanded its ETF lineup with two new funds focused on emerging and international equities.

The Goldman Sachs Data Enhanced Emerging Markets Equity ETF (GEMQ) and the Goldman Sachs Data Enhanced International Equity ETF (GIEQ) offer investors a way to diversify their portfolios away from red-hot U.S. stock valuations.

According to GSAM, the quantitative strategies used in GEMQ and GIEQ provide an advantage in lower information markets outside of the U.S.
