GPIQ ETF Nears AUM Doubling After $1.8B YTD Inflows

Goldman Sachs’ Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF added $1.8 billion in net inflows year-to-date, raising assets under management from roughly $2.5 billion at the start of 2026 to about $4.75 billion by midyear.

The ETF charges 29 basis points and follows an active approach that holds Nasdaq-100 stocks while selling covered call options on between 25% and 75% of its equity holdings. The fund also uses FLEX options to supplement option income.

Inflows accelerated in recent weeks, with the fund taking in about $442 million in net inflows during the past month, bringing total AUM to $4.75 billion. The fund began the year just above $2.5 billion and has accumulated $1.8 billion so far in 2026.

On performance, the ETF returned 30.1% over the trailing 12 months. That compares with a roughly 16.3% average return for large-cap blend equity ETFs over the same period. The fund reported a trailing 12-month distribution rate of 9.13% as of May 31, 2026.

The ETF will reach its three-year listing anniversary in October 2026. Some brokerage platforms require a three-year track record before adding funds to their offerings; reaching the milestone may make the ETF eligible for those platforms.

Income-focused ETFs that use dividends or option overlays have attracted investor interest this year. The fund’s combination of Nasdaq-100 equity exposure and a covered-call overlay has coincided with the inflows and the recent performance figures reported above.
