In this edition of Vantage Point, we review a recently published report from Goldman Sachs which explores the growing role of active exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a versatile tool for investors.

Products like derivative-income and buffer ETFs are gaining popularity, offering income and downside protection in uncertain markets. As investor needs evolve, these strategies can enhance portfolio flexibility, especially within model portfolios and asset allocation frameworks.
