Goldman Sachs Buys NEOS ETF Firm, Faces SEC Subpoena Over Hedge Fund Crisis
GS sits 43% above its 52-week low of $721.157.
Summary
Goldman Sachs is acquiring NEOS, an independent ETF firm, with the deal expected to close in Q1 2027, expanding its asset-management footprint into leveraged and crypto-related ETFs. The firm also disclosed an $86.5M position across five spot XRP ETFs, a new crypto exposure. Separately, the SEC subpoenaed Goldman over its ties to hedge fund Situational Awareness and its AI-related July crisis, seeking details on the fund's near-collapse and large portfolio sales. The firm also led a $240M growth equity round in Owner, an AI platform for independent restaurants, and built a factor-based FX framework with current long signals in COP, BRL, IDR, AUD, NOK, CHF and shorts in JPY, THB. These developments follow record Q2 earnings and reflect continued expansion in asset management and digital assets, while the subpoena adds regulatory scrutiny.
