Private equity is a longtime white whale for many investors and advisors. With its ability to invest long term in some major names without scrutiny, the category remains a huge driver of portfolio growth.

At Exchange 2026, key thought leaders from firms across the country gathered in Las Vegas to share their ideas for navigating today's macroeconomic uncertainty and the future of ETFs.

Many investors have long been curious about private equity investing, but have been limited in getting exposure therein. The ETF wrapper has offered increasingly creative ways to get exposure to private equity performance.

As investors navigate an increasingly complex market, the demand for sophisticated, outcome-oriented ETF strategies has reached a significant inflection point. Goldman Sachs Asset Management is seeing strong success in this space, evolving its suite of derivative-based ETFs to meet the diverse needs of modern portfolios.

Increasing interest in active management has been a persistent trend in 2025. Still, the current momentum should continue to drive demand in 2026.

In the latest move in the ever changing ETF landscape, Goldman Sachs Asset Management has launched a new ETF. The firm, which currently offers a suite of ETFs featuring premium income offerings, will now see its roster rise above 61 total ETFs.

Despite the common moniker, much of the recent success has been built around a boom in private credit as opposed to equity. There are signs that the trend has entered its baroque period.
