GXUS

Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Total International Equity ETF

GXUS Description

GXUS is a passively managed fund that offers broad-based, vanilla exposure to the global ex-US equity space. The fund holds large- and mid-cap stocks, representing 85% of the free-float market capitalization of developed and emerging markets, excluding the US. Constituents are selected and weighted based on their market capitalization. The funds adviser employs tax management strategies such as in-kind redemptions and tax lot selection, to generally minimize taxable capital gain distributions. The index reconstitutes on a semi-annual basis in May and November. Since the objective of the fund is to track an index, buy and sell decisions do not take into consideration analysis of economic or market factors. The portfolio may become concentrated at times. However, the funds adviser may over- or underweight positions in the index if considered to be appropriate.
