Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF
(the “Fund”)
Supplement dated September 18, 2026 to the
Prospectus and Summary Prospectus,
each dated December 29, 2025, as supplemented to date
The Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust recently approved a unitary management fee structure for the Fund and a reduction of the Fund’s management fee rate. Under the unitary fee structure, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), the Fund’s investment adviser, will be responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of the Fund, excluding payments under the Fund’s 12b‑1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings and litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. The Fund’s management fee rate payable to GSAM will be reduced to 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These changes will be effective on December 29, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).
Accordingly, on the Effective Date, the Fund’s Prospectus and Summary Prospectus are revised as follows:
The following replaces the table and accompanying footnote in the “Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF—Summary—Fees and Expenses of the Fund” section in the Prospectus and the “Fees and Expenses of the Fund” section in the Summary Prospectus:
