About GSAYX
Goldman Sachs GQG Partners International Opportunities Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund sub-advised by GQG Partners and managed under Goldman Sachs Asset Management. It primarily invests in equity securities of non-U.S. companies across developed and emerging markets outside the United States, targeting those with sustainable long-term growth prospects at reasonable valuations to achieve capital appreciation. The portfolio emphasizes large-cap stocks, with approximately 78% in giant caps and 22% in large caps, heavily allocated to non-U.S. equities at 85%, alongside modest domestic stock (8%) and cash (7%) positions. Top holdings include pharmaceuticals like Novo Nordisk (7.4%) and AstraZeneca (4.9%), technology firms such as Taiwan Semiconductor, and energy companies like Whitehaven Coal, spanning sectors including healthcare, software, oil and gas, and semiconductors across regions like India (16%), the UK (10%), and Europe. With an expense ratio around 0.76%, this institutional share class supports diversified international exposure, though it carries risks from foreign investments, currency fluctuations, and emerging market volatility. The fund's substantial assets under management, exceeding $42 billion, underscore its prominence in the foreign large growth category.
