As investors await the Federal Reserve rate decision Wednesday afternoon, Goldman Sachs highlighted to clients an overlooked group of stocks poised to benefit from the move. Biotechnology stocks offer an under-the-radar and unappreciated way to profit from the central bank's looming campaign to start cutting the cost of borrowing, according to Goldman Sachs.

Rates play a larger role than growth in driving share prices in biotechnology ," Goldman told clients.
