Goldman Sachs Asset Management has announced the launch of the GS Emerging Markets Green and Social Bond Active UCITS ETF.

The ETF invests in fixed income securities across corporate and sovereign issuers in emerging markets where issuers intend to allocate use of proceeds for green and/ or social contributions. The launch follows GSAM’s recent entry into active ETFs in EMEA with fixed income and equity funds.

Bram Bos, head of the Green, Sustainable, Social & Impact Bond Team at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said, “As a leading active Green Bond Fund manager, we believe Goldman Sachs Asset Management is uniquely positioned to give investors access to this quickly growing asset class. Through our benchmark aware investment process, we incorporate in-depth analysis of the use of proceeds and issuer ESG screening, with sound and proven EM Credit analysis.”
