Sources: 32. Developments: 2. Goldman Sachs Asset Management has entered a binding agreement to acquire NEOS Investments in a cash-and-equity transaction valued at up to $2.25 billion. The deal is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027. Through this acquisition, Goldman Sachs will integrate NEOS’s options-based platform, which manages approximately $30 billion in assets, into its active ETF offerings. The NEOS portfolio includes 19 options-based income ETFs, including several crypto-linked products such as the NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF (BTCI), the Boosted Bitcoin High Income ETF (XBCI), and the Ethereum High Income ETF (NEHI). These funds utilize strategies like covered calls on exchange-traded products to generate monthly income. This strategic move follows Goldman Sachs’ recent acquisition of Innovator Capital Management and is intended to expand the firm’s footprint in the active and derivative-driven ETF market. Upon completion, Goldman Sachs’ total global ETF assets are projected to exceed $130 billion. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-14: Goldman Sachs to acquire NEOS Investments and raises European equity target Goldman Sachs to acquire NEOS Investments for up to $2.25 billion to expand its active ETF platform and has raised its 12-month price target for the European Stoxx 600 index. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/goldman-sachs-to-acquire-neos-investments-and-raises-european-equity-target ### 2026-08-12: Goldman Sachs to acquire NEOS Investments for up to $2.25 billion Goldman Sachs will acquire NEOS Investments for up to $2.25 billion, adding $30 billion in options-based ETFs, including Bitcoin and Ethereum income funds, to its asset management business by early 2027. 29 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/goldman-sachs-to-acquire-neos-investments-for-23-billion --- Cite as: Goldman Sachs acquisition of NEOS Investments.
