HUGE: Goldman Sachs to acquire Innovator ETFs (the Buffer ETF people) for $2b. Wow. This product set has ‘only’ $28b but they all charge like 80bps = revenue machines (hard to find in Vgrd Era).

The acquisition will affect both companies’ operations, integrating Innovator’s technology and talent into Goldman Sachs’ existing infrastructure. Analysts note that this move positions the bank to enhance its capabilities in investment products and digital platforms, potentially offering more tailored solutions for institutional clients. The $2 billion valuation reflects confidence in Innovator’s growth and the strategic value it brings to the bank.
Goldman Sachs expects the deal to close in the coming months, pending regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. Stakeholders are watching closely for integration updates and potential new product launches stemming from this acquisition. The transaction underscores the ongoing trend of traditional financial institutions investing heavily in technology-driven firms to stay competitive in evolving markets.
