Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund
Actively managed U.S. stock fund
As of its 2026 Q2 report, Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund held 3,146 positions with $6.19B in net assets. Its ten largest holdings made up 42.4% of the fund. The GARTX share class costs 1.1% a year. Over the 12 months to May 2026, GARTX returned 14.2%, with dividends reinvested. In 2026 Q3 it added 251 new positions and exited 206.
The Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund (the Fund) seeks to deliver long-term total return consistent with investment results that approximate the return and risk patterns of a diversified universe of hedge funds.
The fund seeks to replicate the return and risk patterns of a diversified hedge fund universe by dynamically weighting exposures to market indices, individual securities, and trading strategies across equities, fixed income, commodities, currencies, and volatility. It gains these exposures through equity securities, bonds including non-investment grade debt, futures, swaps, options, structured notes, ETFs, and forward contracts, with commodity exposure obtained through a wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary that uses commodity derivatives. The fund may hold negative weightings in various exposures, so its net asset value may decline even when those exposures rise in value. Because the fund's target weightings across all exposures may not sum to 100%, actual portfolio construction can deviate significantly from any single market benchmark.

How it has done
GARTX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 6.17%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 and Aug 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 7 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.10% | +14.19% | +31.29% | +29.32% | -3.42% | |
| 1.85% | +13.35% | +28.24% | +24.44% | -3.61% | |
| 0.74% | +14.63% | +32.68% | +31.69% | -3.37% | |
| 1.35% | +13.98% | +30.28% | +27.64% | -3.45% | |
| 0.85% | +14.56% | +32.31% | +31.03% | -3.42% | |
| 0.73% | +14.56% | +32.66% | +31.57% | -3.39% | |
| 0.73% | +14.77% | +32.85% | +31.76% | -3.38% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 7.32pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 1.46pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Net is what a holder pays after the adviser's contractual waiver; gross is before it. A waiver can expire.
Turnover is how much of the portfolio was replaced in a year.

Debt profile
What this fund holds — value-weighted across its bond and securitized long positions · as of 2026-06-30
Based on what filers reported; a filer that never reported a flag also reads as none.
Risk profile
Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2
Most of this fund’s sensitivity is to interest rates, with credit spreads carrying about half as much.
Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.
| Interest rates | 69% |
| Credit spreads | 31% |
Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.
Share of the fund's spread duration carried by each credit tier.
| High yield | +0.45 yr |
Share of duration at each point, shortest first. This filer signs its rate and credit disclosures differently; the direction shown follows its interest-rate filing, and a negative reading is the least-supported figure here.
| 1 yr | 0.60 yr | 56% |
| 5 yr | 0.39 yr | 36% |
| 10 yr | 0.07 yr | 7% |
| 30 yr | 0.01 yr | 1% |
3 mo is NEGATIVE (-0.07 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so it is not part of the band above.
| 5 yr | 0.45 yr | 100% |
3 mo and 1 yr and 10 yr and 30 yr are NEGATIVE (-0.00 yr, -0.00 yr, -0.00 yr, -0.00 yr) — a deliberate hedge at that point on the curve, so they are not part of the band above.
The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.

Dollar change per 1bp of spread movement, as filed and sign-anchored. A blank cell was not filed; a zero was.
Duration contribution in years, summing to the fund's 1.00 yr.
This is where the fund's rate exposure sits, not its currency risk — most international bond funds hedge the currency back to dollars, and the size of those hedges is not in the filing. Tenors are also summed across curves, so a 5-year JPY point and a 5-year USD point are added together.
A newer credit-spread reading (2026Q3) is on file. This page holds one quarter across every figure on it, so that one appears here next quarter.
