GUSA: Nothing Special About This 1000-Stock Large Cap ETF

Summary
- GUSA is comprised of a portfolio of the largest 1,000 U.S. securities weighted by free-float market cap. Its expense ratio is 0.11% and the ETF has $1.92 billion in assets.
- Goldman's MarketBeta ETFs are designed to offer core exposure at a low cost, though GUSA's 0.25% median bid-ask spread is a drawback to competitors like IWB.
- I also believe more concentrated ETFs like IVV, IWL, and OEF are superior. They've shown to be just as volatile as 1,000-stock funds and are of higher quality.
- As a result, I didn't find GUSA to offer anything special over its competitors, so I've assigned it a neutral "hold" rating.
