Goldman Sachs’ GPIQ Adds $1.1B, Returns 10.1% YTD

Goldman Sachs’ Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF, ticker GPIQ, has attracted $1.1 billion in net inflows year-to-date and returned 10.1% through the same period, according to industry data. The fund reported a 12-month trailing distribution rate of 9.65% as of April 30, 2026 and will reach its three-year anniversary in October.

The ETF returned 13.2% over the most recent month, widening its lead over peers in the large-cap blend equities category. The category averaged roughly 6.77% year-to-date and 6.74% over the last month, industry figures show.

GPIQ follows an active strategy concentrated on Nasdaq-100 stocks. The fund generates income primarily through option overlays: it writes call options on about 25% to 75% of its equity positions and uses FLEX options, which are customizable option contracts that managers can set to specific strike prices and expirations. Dividend payments from the underlying holdings can also contribute to distributions.

Goldman Sachs reports the fund’s net expense ratio at 29 basis points. The fund has recorded returns above the category average over recent timeframes while distributing a high trailing yield.

GPIQ’s October three-year milestone is notable because many brokerages and advisory platforms use multi-year track records when deciding which ETFs to list or make widely available. Fund documents and shareholder materials from Goldman Sachs provide additional details on holdings, option usage and the distribution schedule for investors evaluating the ETF’s fit for income-focused portfolios.
