GSUS: High Quality, Low Expense Ratio, But No Meaningful Edge Over IVV, A Hold
Portfolio Pulse from
The Goldman Sachs MarketBeta US Equity ETF (GSUS) is a passively managed, mega-cap focused ETF that has delivered a 16.85% annualized return since inception. While it has beaten SPY due to lower expenses, it has lagged behind other similar ETFs like IVV, SPLG, and VOO. The ETF has slightly stronger growth characteristics but faces challenges with downside capture ratio, maximum drawdown, and risk-adjusted returns.
