The ETF party has a dramatic late arrival: Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management in September launched ActiveBeta US Large Cap Equity ETF and ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF and says more ActiveBeta exchange-traded funds will follow in coming months. Such "smart beta" index funds, which have been trendy, weight their holdings by factors other than market capitalisation, and make adjustments, in an effort to outsmart traditional index funds.
