Income ETF GPIQ Crosses $5 Billion in AUM Ahead of Key Milestone

The income ETF space has seen significant growth and interest in the last two years. Income strategies can offer both equity performance and income to help portfolios handle volatility. The income ETF GPIQ, from Goldman Sachs, does not just offer that income and performance, but has also recently hit an AUM milestone. With another milestone baked in for this fall, could now be the time to dive in?Key Takeaways: The income ETF GPIQ briefly crossed over $5 billion in AUM in recent weeks. That has followed some huge inflows according to ETF Database data, over $2 billion YTD. The strategy’s October three-year milestone looms and may further boost its case. The Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF (GPIQ A) launched in October 2023. That sets it up to hit the all-important marker of three years in operation for this October. That often sees new assets and attention come to an ETF that gets added to brokerages and can tout multiple years of data.  See more: Income ETF GPIQ Tracking to Double AUM This Year The fund has that milestone ahead and recently crossed another notable one, hitting $5 billion in AUM. GPIQ has added more than $2 billion in net inflows since the start of 2026. That has helped it make a huge leap in AUM. How then, does the fund invest and how might it deliver for investors’ portfolios?  GPIQ charges a 29 basis point fee to actively invest in its income-focused ETF strategy. It uses a call strategy to offer that income, and offers the potential for equity performance, too, looking to broadly replicate the approach of its underlying index. The strategy sells call options on 25% to 75% of its equity investments, also using FLEX options as needed.

The strategy also provided a 9.13% 12-month trailing distribution rate as of May 31, according to Goldman Sachs data. By meeting both of its goals, offering income and equity performance, the fund could be a standout performer among income ETFs this year.
