In a move that’s shocking only to people who don’t follow finance Twitter, Goldman Sachs has acquired Innovator Capital Management for $2 billion 🚀💸. Yes, the same Innovator that makes ETFs so spicy they’ve got “downside protection” baked in-like if investing had airbags.
Goldman Sachs, a bank that’s definitely not a vampire squid squid, just bought a company that specializes in Bitcoin-linked ETFs. Innovator Capital, the victim of this corporate affection, brings $28 billion in assets and 159 ETFs to the party. These aren’t your grandma’s ETFs-they’re “defined outcome” strategies, which is finance jargon for “we’ll try to lose your money less badly if the market tanks.”
The deal slots Goldman into the top 10 active ETF providers, because nothing says “we care” like managing $75 billion in assets you’ll probably forget about until tax season. CEO David Solomon called it a “strategic move,” which is CEO-speak for “we panicked when we saw ETFs growing at 47% annually and realized we’d been napping.” Innovator’s entire team, including CEO Bruce Bond, will now join Goldman’s “dream team” of people who get paid to use words like “alpha generation.”
