Thursday, August 13, 2026
Goldman Sachs agreed to acquire Equidot, the issuer of active exchange-traded funds SPYI and QQQI, according to the firm's announcement. The purchase reflects Goldman's expansion into actively managed ETFs, a segment where investors pay higher fees than for index-tracking funds. Active ETFs employ portfolio managers to make investment decisions rather than automatically tracking market indices. The acquisition price and exact terms were not disclosed.
