The asset management arm of the leading global investment bank Goldman Sachs has partnered with investment strategist Motif for the launch of a new series of ETFs. The new products are structured with innovative indices powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Listing on the NYSE and soon to go global, the range being named the next wave of innovation contains five newly issued ETFs:
Goldman Sachs Motif Data Driven World ETF (GDAT)
Goldman Sachs Motif Finance Reimagined ETF (GFIN)
Goldman Sachs Motif Human Evolution ETF (GDNA)
Goldman Sachs Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF (GMAN)
Goldman Sachs Motif New Age Consumer ETF (GBUY)
The five-strong range of ETFs incorporate Motif's multiple data sources with 25 innovations provided by Goldman Sachs.
A new objective has been set for the ETFs. Instead of investors trying to determine when to sell high, the ETFs are already designed to offer exposure to industries with promising earning potential as a result of the technological developments.
