MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Access Fixed Income ETFs

 

The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the fixed income market and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Access Fixed Income ETFs (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 28, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2023.

Market and Economic Review

 

 

During the Reporting Period, the performance of the global fixed income markets was broadly influenced by central bank monetary policy, inflationary trends and higher interest rates.

 

   

The broad global investment grade bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (gross, USD, hedged), returned -1.59%.

 

   

The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, representing the broad U.S. fixed income market, returned -2.13%.

 

 

Inflation eased across most developed economies during the Reporting Period, though it remained at stubbornly high levels.

 

   

In September 2022, when the Reporting Period began, inflationary pressures increased, with U.S. food and energy prices reaching a four-decade high amid ongoing supply and demand imbalances driven by geopolitical turmoil, including the Russia/Ukraine war, and COVID-19 outbreaks in China.

 

   

Inflation moderated during the last months of 2022, as U.S. consumer price data surprised with lower than consensus anticipated levels and Europe benefited from falling energy prices.

 

   

In early 2023, inflation continued to decline, but concerns reemerged in the wake of unexpectedly strong economic data — especially in the U.S. labor market.

 

 

Many central banks around the world tightened monetary policy during the Reporting Period in an effort to contain inflation.

 

   

The People’s Bank of China was a notable exception, as its policymakers engaged in measured and selective easing to address economic growth headwinds from a property market downturn and COVID-19 restrictions in the country. In December, the Chinese government began to unwind its zero-COVID policies and finally lifted its stringent zero-COVID policy in January 2023.

 

 

The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) continued its aggressive interest rate hikes but tempered its pace of tightening toward the end of the Reporting Period.

 

   

In September 2022, the Fed raised the targeted federal funds (“fed funds”) rate 75 basis points to a range of 3.00% to 3.25%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)

 

   

In October, Fed officials began to contend that inflation would likely decline in the upcoming months should demand weaken and supply-chain issues soften as policymakers anticipated. However, they also suggested they would end their current tightening cycle with short-term interest rates at a higher level than many market participants had expected.

 

   

In early November, the Fed raised the fed funds rate by another 75 basis points.

 

   

Policymakers stepped down the pace of their rate hikes in mid-December, lifting the fed funds rate by 50 basis points, but emphasized they were not stepping back from their efforts to tame inflation.

 

   

On February 1, 2023, the Fed noted the improving inflation picture when it announced its comparatively smaller interest rate hike of 25 basis points but indicated that ongoing rate hikes would likely be “appropriate.”

 

 

For the Reporting Period overall, U.S. Treasury yields rose across the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, with shorter-term U.S. Treasury yields rising significantly more than intermediate- and longer-term U.S. Treasury yields.

 

   

The U.S. Treasury yield curve was inverted between two-year and 10-year maturities throughout the Reporting Period. When the yield curve is inverted, two-year yields are higher than 10-year yields. (Historically, an inverted U.S. Treasury yield curve often precedes an economic recession.)

MARKET REVIEW

 

 

Most non-government bond sectors outperformed U.S. Treasuries during the Reporting Period, led by U.S. high yield corporate bonds and emerging markets debt, each sector posting positive absolute returns overall. U.S. investment grade corporate bonds and securitized bonds, including mortgage-backed securities, posted negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period but still outperformed U.S. Treasuries. Treasury inflation protected securities underperformed U.S. Treasuries during the Reporting Period, as inflation levels, though persistently high, declined.

Fund Changes and Highlights

No material changes were made to the Funds during the Reporting Period.

  FUND SNAPSHOT

 

     As of February 28, 2023       
  Market Price1   $ 39.97  
    Net Asset Value (NAV)1   $ 40.04  

 

1    The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Information regarding how often shares of the Fund traded on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund can be found at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs.

2    Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculations assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade at 4:00 pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized.

 

3    The Index was developed and is calculated and maintained by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE”), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”). FTSE is not affiliated with the Fund or GSAM. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by FTSE or any of its affiliates and FTSE makes no representation to any owner or prospective owner of the Fund regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Fund particularly, or the ability of the Fund to track the price and yield performance of the Index or the ability of the Index to track general bond market performance. FTSE’s only relationship to GSAM (“Licensee”) is the licensing of certain information, data, trademarks and trade names of FTSE or its affiliates. The Index is determined, composed and calculated by FTSE without regard to the Fund. FTSE has no obligation to take the needs of the owners or prospective owners of the Fund into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the Index. FTSE is not responsible for and has not participated in the determination of the prices and amount of the shares to be issued by the Fund or the timing of the issuance or sale of the shares to be issued by the Fund or in the determination or calculation of the equation by which the shares to be issued by the Fund are to be converted into cash. FTSE has no obligation or liability in connection with the administration, marketing or trading of the Fund. The Index Provider may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of the Index or the implementation of certain rules at its sole discretion.

 

The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.
