Principal Investment Strategies

GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS HIGH YIELD CORPORATE BOND ETF

The Goldman Sachs Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index.

The FTSE Goldman Sachs High Yield Corporate Bond Index (the “Index”) is a rules-based index that is designed to measure the performance of high yield corporate bonds denominated in U.S. dollars (“USD”) that meet certain liquidity and fundamental screening criteria. “High yield” bonds are bonds that are rated below investment grade and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” As of August 31, 2019, there were 674 constituents in the Index and the Index had a weighted average maturity of 5.65 years. The Index is a custom index that is owned and calculated by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE”), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”). The Index is based on the FTSE US High-Yield Market Index (the “Reference Index”) using concepts developed with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”).

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

The Index Provider constructs the Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves two steps.

Step 1- In the first step, the Index Provider defines a universe of potential index constituents (the “Universe”) by applying specified criteria to the constituents of the Reference Index. The Reference Index includes high yield corporate bonds issued by companies domiciled in the United States or Canada that have a minimum of one year to maturity and are rated a maximum of BB+ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Ba1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and a minimum of C by S&P and Ca by Moody’s. Only constituents of the Reference Index that (i) have a minimum of $400 million outstanding, a minimum issuer size of $1 billion and a maximum final maturity of 15 years and (ii) if neither fundamental factor described below is available, are rated at least CCC+ by S&P or Caa1 by Moody’s, are included in the Universe. A maturity bucketing process is used to approximate the average effective duration of the Reference Index.

Step 2- In the second step, the Index Provider applies a fundamental screen to the Universe. Issuers are first grouped into three broad industry groups: financials, industrials and utilities. Within each industry group, issuers are measured by two fundamental factors, debt service and leverage. The Index Provider ranks each issuer based on the two fundamental factors, equally weighted. The Index is constructed by including the highest ranking eligible securities in each industry group, screening out lowest ranking eligible securities.

GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS INFLATION PROTECTED USD BOND ETF

The Goldman Sachs Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index.

The FTSE Goldman Sachs Treasury Inflation Protected USD Bond Index (the “Index”) is designed to track the performance of inflation-protected, fixed rate U.S. Treasury Securities denominated in U.S. dollars (“USD”) that meet certain screening criteria. “U.S. Treasury Securities” refer to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury where the payment of principal and interest is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury Securities include U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Treasury floating rate bonds. As of August 31, 2019, there were 36 issues in the Index and the Index had a weighted average maturity of 8.53 years and a weighted average duration of 7.93 years. The Index is a custom index that is owned and calculated by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE”), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”). The Index is based on the U.S. sleeve of the FTSE World Inflation-Linked Securities Index (the “Reference Index”) using concepts developed with GSAM.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

The Index Provider constructs the Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves two steps.

Step 1

In the first step, the Index Provider defines a universe of potential index constituents (the “Universe”) by applying specified criteria to the constituents of the Reference Index. The Reference Index includes fixed-rate, sovereign bonds denominated in USD that are linked to an inflation index. Only constituents of the Reference Index that are U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), have a minimum of 1 year to maturity and a minimum issue size of $5 billion outstanding (before taking into account the Federal Reserve System Open Market Account (“SOMA”) holdings) are included in the Universe.

Step 2

In the second step, the Index Provider screens the Universe to exclude securities that are unseasoned. The Index excludes“on-the-run” bonds, or the newest issues for each security term. The Index is constructed by weighting each constituent to match the weighted average real yield duration of the Universe.

THE FUND IS NOT A MONEY MARKET FUND AND DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE.

GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS INVESTMENT GRADE CORPORATE BOND ETF

The Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index.

The FTSE Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index (the “Index”) is a rules-based index that is designed to measure the performance of investment grade corporate bonds denominated in U.S. dollars that meet certain liquidity and fundamental screening criteria. As of August 31, 2019, there were 2,236 constituents in the Index and the Index had a weighted average maturity of 11.71 years. The Index is a custom index that is owned and calculated by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE”), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”). The Index is based on the FTSE US Broad Investment-Grade (USBIG^®) Corporate Index (the “Reference Index”) using concepts developed with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”).

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

The Index Provider constructs the Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves two steps.

Step 1 - In the first step, the Index Provider defines a universe of potential index constituents (the “Universe”) by applying specified criteria to the constituents of the Reference Index. The Reference Index includes investment grade corporate bonds that have a minimum of one year to maturity and are rated at leastBBB- by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”). Only corporate bond constituents of the Reference Index that have a minimum of $750 million outstanding and a minimum issuer size of $2 billion are included in the Universe. A maturity bucketing process is used to approximate the average effective duration of the Reference Index.

Step 2 - In the second step, the Index Provider applies a fundamental screen to the Universe. Issuers are first grouped into three broad industry groups: financials, industrials and utilities. Within each industry group, issuers are measured by two fundamental factors, operating margin and leverage. The Index Provider ranks each issuer based on the two fundamental factors, equally weighted. The Index is constructed by including the highest ranking eligible securities in each industry group, screening out lowest ranking eligible securities.

GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS TREASURY0-1 YEAR ETF

The Goldman Sachs Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index.

2

INVESTMENT PROCESS

The FTSE US Treasury0-1 Year Composite Select Index (the “Index”) is designed to measure the performance of U.S. Treasury Securities with a maximum remaining maturity of 12 months. “U.S. Treasury Securities” refer to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury where the payment of principal and interest is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury Securities include U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Treasury floating rate bonds. The Fund expects to invest 100% of its assets in (i) U.S. Treasury Securities with a maximum remaining maturity of 12 months and (ii) cash. As of August 31, 2019, there were 79 issues in the Index and the Index had a weighted average maturity of 0.40 years. The Index includes publicly-issued U.S. Treasury Securities that have a minimum remaining maturity of 1 month and a maximum remaining maturity of 12 months at the time of rebalance and that have a minimum issue size of $5 billion. In addition, the securities in the Index must benon-convertible and denominated in U.S. dollars. The Index excludes certain special issues, such as targeted investor notes, state and local government series bonds and coupon issues that have been stripped from bonds.10-year and30-year U.S. Treasury bonds are not eligible for inclusion in the Index.

The Index is sponsored by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE”), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”), which is not affiliated with the Fund or the Investment Adviser. The Index is market capitalization-weighted and the securities in the Index are updated on the last business day of each month.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

THE FUND IS NOT A MONEY MARKET FUND AND DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE.

ALL ABOVE FUNDS

Each of the FTSE Goldman Sachs High Yield Corporate Bond Index and FTSE Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index is rebalanced (i) monthly on the last business day of each month, to account for changes in maturities, duration, corporate actions or ratings migration, and (ii) quarterly, to account for updates to the constituents on the basis of the fundamental factors (as described above). The FTSE US Treasury0-1 Year Composite Select Index is rebalanced monthly on the last day of the month. The FTSE Goldman Sachs Treasury Inflation Protected USD Bond Index is rebalanced monthly on the last business day of the month to account for changes in maturities (i.e., removing securities with less than 1 year to maturity), new issues and duration to closely match the weighted average real yield duration of its Universe.

The Investment Adviser uses a representative sampling strategy to manage each Fund. “Representative sampling” is an indexing strategy in which each Fund invests in a representative sample of constituent securities that has a collective investment profile similar to that of its Index. The securities selected for investment by each Fund are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics, fundamental characteristics and liquidity measures similar to those of its Index. Each Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in its Index.

Each of the Goldman Sachs Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF may concentrate its investments (i.e. hold more than 25% of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that its Index is concentrated. The degree to which components of its Index represent certain sectors or industries may change over time. Each of the Goldman Sachs Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF and Goldman Sachs Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF may concentrate its investments (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that its Index is concentrated. The U.S. government, state and municipal governments and their agencies, authorities and instrumentalities are not deemed to be industries for this purpose.

At the end of each Fund’s Reporting Period, i.e., August 31, 2019, we continued to believe the Funds may provide investors with smoother performance and less volatility, as a smart beta approach should provide liquidity while minimizing exposure to factors historically associated with volatility and underperformance.*

* Smart beta refers to quantitative index-based strategies. Liquidity is the ability to invest or redeem during market hours. Volatility refers to the annualized standard deviation of returns.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS ULTRA SHORT BOND ETF

The Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a broad range of U.S. dollar denominated bonds. The Fund primarily invests in U.S. Government Securities, obligations of U.S. banks, corporate notes, commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S. companies, states, municipalities and other entities, fixed and floating rate mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest in U.S. dollar-denominated obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign banks, companies and governments or their agencies, authorities, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises. Shareholders will be provided with sixty days’ notice in the manner prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its Net Assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name.

The Fund will generally focus its investments in securities of issuers that, at the time of purchase, have a short-term credit rating of at least investment grade by at least one NRSRO (at leastA-2,P-2, or F2 by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch, respectively), have a long-term credit rating of at least investment grade by at least one NRSRO (at leastBBB-, Baa3, or BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch, respectively) if such securities only maintain long-term ratings, or, if unrated, are determined by the Investment Adviser to be of comparable credit quality at the time of purchase. The Fund may also rely on the credit quality of a guarantee or demand feature in determining the credit quality of a security supported by the guarantee or demand feature.

The Fund will concentrate its investments in the financial services group of industries. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities issued by companies in the financial services group of industries and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s effective duration is expected to be one year or less. “Duration” is a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration of the Fund (or an individual debt security), the more sensitive its market price to changes in interest rates. In computing duration, the Fund will estimate the duration of obligations that are subject to prepayment or redemption by the issuer, taking into account the influence of interest rates on prepayments and coupon flows. This method of computing duration is known as “option-adjusted” duration.

The Fund is an actively managed ETF, which is a fund that trades like other publicly-traded securities. The Fund is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, political or other conditions. For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in U.S. Government Securities, commercial paper rated at leastA-2 by Standard & Poor’s,P-2 by Moody’s, or having a comparable credit rating by another NRSRO (or if unrated, determined by the Investment Adviser to be of comparable credit quality), certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements,non-convertible preferred stocks andnon-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year, certain ETFs and other investment companies and cash items. Cash items are not income-generating and, as a result, the Fund’s current yield may be adversely affected during periods when such positions are held. Cash positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs, such as increased exposure to the custodian bank holding the assets and any fees imposed for large cash balances.When the Fund’s assets are invested in such instruments, the Fund may not be achieving its investment objective.

THE FUND IS NOT A MONEY MARKET FUND AND DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE.

The Fund is managed to seek to generate current income and secondarily maintain an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity. The Investment Adviser follows a conservative, risk-managed investment process.

Global fixed income markets are constantly evolving and are highly diverse — with a large number of countries, currencies, sectors, issuers and securities. We believe that inefficiencies in these complex markets cause bond prices to diverge from their fair value. To capitalize on these inefficiencies and generate consistent risk-adjusted performance, we believe it is critical to:

• Thoughtfully combine diversified sources of return by employing multiple strategies

INVESTMENT PROCESS

• Take a global perspective to uncover relative value opportunities

• Employ focused specialist teams to identify short-term mispricings and incorporate long-term views

• Emphasize a risk-aware approach as we view risk management as both an offensive and defensive tool

• Build a strong team of skilled investors who excel on behalf of our clients.

Goldman Sachs Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Goldman Sachs High Yield Corporate Bond Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income and Liquidity Solution Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 7.20% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 6.88% based on market price.The Index returned 7.44% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $48.86 per share on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $49.42 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $49.24 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of high yield corporate bonds denominated in U.S. dollars that meet certain liquidity and fundamental screening criteria. “High yield” bonds are bonds that are rated below investment grade and are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” The Index is a custom index that is owned and calculated by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE”), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”) and is based on the FTSE US High-Yield Market Index (the “Reference Index”) using concepts developed with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”). The Index is rules-based and the securities in the Index are updated on the last business day of each month.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditionalmethods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted positive absolute returns that modestly lagged those of the Index, as measured by NAV. The Fund is passively managed to the Index and aims to minimize tracking error to the Index.

Overall, high yield corporate bond returns are driven by two primary factors — duration (whether interest rates are rising or falling) and spreads (a widening or tightening of the yield differential to duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries).

After four interest rate hikes in 2018, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) shifted to a more dovish view early in 2019, predicated on soft inflation and domestic economic data. The Fed then delivered its first interest rate cut — 25 basis points — since 2008 in July 2019. (Dovish tends to suggest lower interest rates. Opposite of hawkish. A basis point is 1/100^th of a percentage point.) The Fed described the interest rate cut as a“mid-cycle adjustment.” The shift to a more dovish Fed policy created a positive environment for high yield credit by lowering borrowing costs and supporting yield compression.

Meanwhile, from the end of February 2019 to July 2019 alone, the10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell from 2.73% to 2.02%, which was positive for intermediate-duration assets, such as high yield corporate credit. For the annual period overall, the yield on the10-year U.S. Treasury fell 136 basis points, from 2.86% at the end of August 2018 to 1.50% at the end of August 2019.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, high yield corporate bonds experienced a drawdown but bounced back in January 2019. (A drawdown is a peak-to-trough decline during a specific

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

period of time of a sector or investment.) Year to date through August 31, 2019, high yield corporate spreads tightened from 537 basis points to 393 basis points, supported by strong second calendar quarter earnings, Fed easing, a slowdown in new issuance within the sector, and investor demand as investors shift out of floating-rate products. Still, escalating trade tensions challenged risk sentiment. The high yield default rate increased slightly during this same time frame, from 1.8% to 2.1%, but remained below historical averages. In our view, a modest increase in defaults should not pose a risk to the broader high yield market but rather may serve as a signal of stress in certain sectors.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund does not employ derivatives.

Q What was the Fund’s weighted average duration, weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon, weighted average yield to maturity and30-day standardized yield at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

A The Fund had a weighted average duration of 3.04 years, a weighted average maturity of 5.49 years and a weighted average coupon of 6.07% as of August 31, 2019. The Fund’s weighted average yield to maturity was 5.71% on August 31, 2019. The30-day standardized yield of the Fund at the end of the Reporting Period was 4.97%.

Q What was the Fund’s credit allocation at the end of the Reporting Period?²

A

BBB	0.00%
BB	54.44%
B	38.14%
CCC	5.75%
Not Rated	0.00%
Cash	1.66%

Q What was the Fund’s industry allocation at the end of the Reporting Period?

A Of the approximately 96.7% of the Fund’s assets invested in high yield corporate bonds at the end of the Reporting Period, approximately 78.53% was in industrials, 8.92% in financials and 9.75% in utilities.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period?³

A While the Index was 98.95% allocated to high yield corporate bonds and 1.05% allocated to emerging market corporate bonds, the Fund was 97.20% invested in high yield corporate bonds, 1.14% in emerging market corporate bonds and 1.66% in cash at the end of the Reporting Period.

¹  Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest-rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder. Time periods are weighted by multiplying by the present value of its cash flow divided by the bond’s price. (A bond’s cash flows consist of coupon payments and repayment of capital.)

A bond’s duration will almost always be shorter than its maturity, with the exception ofzero-coupon bonds, for which maturity and duration are equal. Weighted average duration is a measure of the duration for the securities in the portfolio overall. Weighted average maturity (“WAM”) is the weighted average amount of time until the debt securities in a portfolio mature, or the weighted average of the remaining terms to maturity of the debt securities within a portfolio. The higher the WAM, the longer it takes for all of the bonds in the portfolio to mature, and WAM is used to manage debt portfolios and to assess the performance of debt portfolio managers. Coupons are fixed percentages paid out on a fixed income security on an annual basis. Weighted average coupon is calculated by weighting the coupon of each debt security by its relative size in the portfolio. Yield to maturity is the annual return that a bond is expected to generate if it is held till its maturity given its coupon rate, payment frequency and current market price. Yield to maturity is essentially the internal rate of return of a bond, i.e. the discount rate at which the present value of a bond’s coupon payments and maturity value is equal to its current market price. The30-day standardized yield calculation is based on a30-day period ending on the last day of the Reporting Period. It is computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.

²  The Fund and the Index have not been rated by an independent rating agency. The credit allocation provided refers to the Fund’s underlying portfolio securities. For the purpose of determining compliance with any credit rating requirement, the Fund assigns a security, at the time of purchase, the highest rating by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) if the security is rated by more than one NRSRO. For this purpose, the Fund relies only on the ratings of the following NRSROs: S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, Inc. This method may differ from the method independently used by the Index Provider. GSAM will use a single rating if that is the only one available. Securities that are not rated by all three agencies are reflected as such in the breakdown. Unrated securities may be purchased by the Fund if they are determined by the Investment Adviser to be of a credit quality consistent with the Fund’s credit rating requirements. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality, and for such securities the Investment Adviser will evaluate the credit quality. GSAM converts all ratings to the equivalent S&P major rating category when illustrating credit rating breakdowns. Ratings and Fund/Index credit quality may change over time.

¹  The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

Goldman Sachs Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Goldman Sachs Treasury Inflation Protected USD Bond Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the period since it commenced operations on October 2, 2018 through August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 8.61% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 8.54% based on market price.The Index returned 8.71% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $50.00 per share on the date of inception and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $53.11 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $53.08 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is designed to track the performance of inflation protected, fixed rate U.S. Treasury Securities denominated in U.S. dollars (“USD”) that meet certain screening criteria. “U.S. Treasury Securities” refer to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury where the payment of principal and interest is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury Securities include U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Treasury floating rate bonds. The Index is a custom index that is owned and calculated by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE”), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”). The Index is based on the U.S. sleeve of the FTSE World Inflation-Linked Securities Index (the “Reference Index”) using concepts developed with GSAM.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted positive absolute returns that closely tracked those of the Index, as measured by NAV. The Fund is passively managed to the Index and aims to minimize tracking error to the Index.

Two key drivers of return for the Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) market are interest rates, given the sector’s longer duration profile, and inflation. During the Reporting Period, U.S. Treasuries rallied, with the yield on the10-year U.S. Treasury declining approximately 159 basis points to 1.50%. (A basis point is 1/100^th of a percentage point.) The move in U.S. Treasuries reflected market expectations of further Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate cuts on the back of lower economic growth expectations and higher trade policy uncertainty. Indeed, U.S. Treasury yields declined into the end of August 2019 given market expectations for a second interest rate cut in September 2019. The Fed remained on watch for signs of weakness in the economy, as it continues to decide whether to extend its monetary easing. Fed Chair Powell emphasized that the central bank would be largely guided by inflation outcomes as well as by the global economic growth backdrop and risk asset developments. At the end of the Reporting Period, an additional interest rate cut of 25 to 50 basis points was priced in for the near term and potentially more could follow.

Inflation-linked assets are inherently sensitive to macro data related to inflation estimates, including publication of unemployment, wage growth, inflation in other countries,

economic growth and fiscal spending figures. Year-over-year Consumer Price Index readings moved lower — from an annualized rate of 2.5% to an annualized rate of 1.8% during the Reporting Period. At the same time, we saw improved wage growth. Private sector average hourly earnings increased 3.2% year over year. Employment increased during the Reporting Period, with unemployment rates staying below 4%.

A tight labor market characterized by cyclically low unemployment, which was at or near the level of “full employment” during the Reporting Period, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, and apick-up in wage growth is typically associated with an increase in inflation. This relationship is often referred to as the Phillips curve in economics, which asserts there is an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation in an economy. A tight labor market and wage growth tend to exert upward pressure on inflation since labor is an input cost to many goods and services in the economy. The effect of higher consumer income leading to increased demand also supports this usual trend. While the U.S. economy experienced the former two conditions in the last few calendar quarters, i.e. low unemployment and a start to wage growth, inflation remained sluggish and slower to increase than the consensus expected. In our view, this scenario, combined with the Fed’s pivot toward monetary policy easing, should be constructive for inflation to build in the U.S. economy.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund does not employ derivatives.

Q What was the Fund’s weighted average duration, weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon, weighted average yield to maturity and30-day standardized yield at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

A The Fund had a weighted average duration of 7.88 years, a weighted average maturity of 8.30 years and a weighted average coupon of 0.49% as of August 31, 2019. The Fund’s weighted average yield to maturity was 1.81% on August 31, 2019. The30-day standardized yield of the Fund at the end of the Reporting Period was 0.32%.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period?²

A While the Index was 100% allocated to U.S. TIPS, the Fund was 99.62% invested in U.S. TIPS and 0.38% in cash at the end of the Reporting Period.

¹Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest-rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder. Time periods are weighted by multiplying by the present value of its cash flow divided by the bond’s price. (A bond’s cash flows consist of coupon payments and repayment of capital.)

A bond’s duration will almost always be shorter than its maturity, with the exception ofzero-coupon bonds, for which maturity and duration are equal. Weighted average duration is a measure of the duration for the securities in the portfolio overall. Weighted average maturity (“WAM”) is the weighted average amount of time until the debt securities in a portfolio mature, or the weighted average of the remaining terms to maturity of the debt securities within a portfolio. The higher the WAM, the longer it takes for all of the bonds in the portfolio to mature, and WAM is used to manage debt portfolios and to assess the performance of debt portfolio managers. Coupons are fixed percentages paid out on a fixed income security on an annual basis. Weighted average coupon is calculated by weighting the coupon of each debt security by its relative size in the portfolio. Yield to maturity is the annual return that a bond is expected to generate if it is held till its maturity given its coupon rate, payment frequency and current market price. Yield to maturity is essentially the internal rate of return of a bond, i.e. the discount rate at which the present value of a bond’s coupon payments and maturity value is equal to its current market price. The30-day standardized yield calculation is based on a30-day period ending on the last day of the Reporting Period. It is computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.

²The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Goldman Sachs Treasury Inflation Protected USD Bond Index.

Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income and Liquidity Solution Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 13.35% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 13.46% based on market price.The Index returned 13.57% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $48.31 per share on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $52.87 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $52.90 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of investment grade corporate bonds denominated in U.S. dollars that meet certain liquidity and fundamental screening criteria. The Index is a custom index that is owned and calculated by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE”), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”) and is based on the FTSE US Broad Investment Grade (USBIG^®) Corporate Index (the “Reference Index”) using concepts developed with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”). The Index is rules-based and the securities in the Index are updated on the last business day of each month.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted positive absolute returns that modestly lagged those of the Index, as measured by NAV. The Fund is passively managed to the Index and aims to minimize tracking error to the Index.

Overall, investment grade corporate bond returns are driven by two primary factors — duration (whether interest rates are rising or falling) and spreads (a widening or tightening of the yield differential to duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries).

Indices that track the U.S. investment grade corporate credit market typically have durations between seven to eight years, making them moderately sensitive to changes in underlying rates. During the Reporting Period, the yield on the10-year U.S. Treasury declined by approximately 136 basis points, from 2.86% at the end of August 2018 to 1.50% at the end of August 2019, which was positive for intermediate duration assets such as investment grade corporate credit. (A basis point is 1/100^th of a percentage point.)

After four interest rate hikes in 2018, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) shifted to a more dovish view early in 2019, predicated on soft inflation and domestic economic data. The Fed then delivered its first interest rate cut — 25 basis points — since 2008 in July 2019. The Fed described the interest rate cut as a“mid-cycle adjustment.” In early August 2019, the10-year andtwo-year segments of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, inverted due to anticipated further interest rate cuts as well as softening economic data with an uptick in trade policy uncertainty.

During the Reporting Period overall, investment grade corporate spreads were roughly unchanged. However, spreads

14

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

had widened toward the end of 2018, as investor sentiment turned negative for risk assets, or non-government bonds, broadly. Spreads subsequently reversed the trend, tightening as strong corporate earnings were released beginning in the first quarter of 2019.

At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained alert for possible headwinds posted by trade tensions and slowing corporate earnings. However, we believed supportive central bank actions may prolong the cycle and keep investment grade corporate credit supported in an environment of around-trend economic growth. Yields on U.S. credit appeared attractive on a relative value basis at the end of the Reporting Period, in our view, given global central bank easing. Gross investment grade corporate credit supply was down 10% year over year, a trend widely anticipated to continue.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund does not employ derivatives.

Q What was the Fund’s weighted average duration, weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon, weighted average yield to maturity and30-day standardized yield at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

A The Fund had a weighted average duration of 7.83 years, a weighted average maturity of 11.50 years and a weighted average coupon of 4.04% as of August 31, 2019. The Fund’s weighted average yield to maturity was 2.83% on August 31, 2019. The30-day standardized yield of the Fund at the end of the Reporting Period was 2.72%.

AAA	2.35	%
AA	12.05	%
A	37.72	%
BBB	46.95	%
BB	0.07	%
Cash	0.85	%

Q What was the Fund’s industry allocation at the end of the Reporting Period?

A Of the approximately 96.83% of the Fund’s assets invested in investment grade corporate bonds at the end of the Reporting Period, approximately 34.87% was in financials, 60.29% in industrials and 1.67% in utilities.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period?³

A While the Index was 97.71% allocated to investment grade corporate bonds, 0.28% allocated to high yield corporate bonds, 1.91% allocated to emerging market corporate bonds and 0.10% allocated to quasi-government securities, the Fund was 96.83% invested in investment grade corporate bonds, 0.07% in high yield corporate bonds, 2.25% in emerging market corporate bonds, 0.00% in quasi-government securities and 0.85% in cash at the end of the Reporting Period.

¹  Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest-rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder. Time periods are weighted by multiplying by the present value of its cash flow divided by the bond’s price. (A bond’s cash flows consist of coupon payments and repayment of capital.)

A bond’s duration will almost always be shorter than its maturity, with the exception ofzero-coupon bonds, for which maturity and duration are equal. Weighted average duration is a measure of the duration for the securities in the portfolio overall. Weighted average maturity (“WAM”) is the weighted average amount of time until the debt securities in a portfolio mature, or the weighted average of the remaining terms to maturity of the debt securities within a portfolio. The higher the WAM, the longer it takes for all of the bonds in the portfolio to mature, and WAM is used to manage debt portfolios and to assess the performance of debt portfolio managers. Coupons are fixed percentages paid out on a fixed income security on an annual basis. Weighted average coupon is calculated by weighting the coupon of each debt security by its relative size in the portfolio. Yield to maturity is the annual return that a bond is expected to generate if it is held till its maturity given its coupon rate, payment frequency and current market price. Yield to maturity is essentially the internal rate of return of a bond, i.e. the discount rate at which the present value of a bond’s coupon payments and maturity value is equal to its current market price. The30-day standardized yield calculation is based on a30-day period ending on

the last day of the Reporting Period. It is computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.

²  The Fund and the Index have not been rated by an independent rating agency. The credit allocation provided refers to the Fund’s underlying portfolio securities. For the purpose of determining compliance with any credit rating requirement, the Fund assigns a security, at the time of purchase, the highest rating by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) if the security is rated by more than one NRSRO. For this purpose, the Fund relies only on the ratings of the following NRSROs: S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, Inc. This method may differ from the method independently used by the Index Provider. GSAM will use a single rating if that is the only one available. Securities that are not rated by all three agencies are reflected as such in the breakdown. Unrated securities may be purchased by the Fund if they are determined by the Investment Adviser to be of a credit quality consistent with the Fund’s credit rating requirements. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality, and for such securities the Investment Adviser will evaluate the credit quality. GSAM converts all ratings to the equivalent S&P major rating category when illustrating credit rating breakdowns. Ratings and Fund/Index credit quality may change over time.

Goldman Sachs Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE US Treasury0-1 Year Composite Select Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income and Liquidity Solutions Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 2.40% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 2.40% based on market price. The Index returned 2.50% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $100.16 on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $100.38 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $100.40 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S. Treasury Securities with a maximum remaining maturity of 12 months. “U.S. Treasury Securities” refer to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury where the payment of principal and interest is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury Securities include U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Treasury floating rate bonds. The Index is sponsored by FTSE Fixed Income LLC (“FTSE” ), a trading name of the London Stock Exchange Group plc and its group undertakings (collectively, the “LSE Group” or the “Index Provider”), which is not affiliated with the Fund or the Investment Adviser. The Index is market capitalization-weighted and the securities in the Index are updated on the last business day of each month.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted positive absolute returns that closely tracked those of the Index, as measured by NAV. The Fund is passively managed to the Index and aims to minimize tracking error to the Index.

The Fund’s and the Index’s performance was largely reflective of the performance offront-end, or short-term, U.S. Treasury rates.

During the Reporting Period, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) hiked interest rates twice — in September and December 2018, for a total four interest rate hikes in calendar year 2018. The Fed shifted to a more dovish view early in 2019, predicated on soft inflation and domestic economic data. The Fed then delivered its first interest rate cut — 25 basis points — since 2008 in July 2019. (A basis point is 1/100^th of a percentage point.) At the end of the Reporting Period, the effective federal funds rate stood at an upper bound of 2.25%. The Fed described the interest rate cut as a“mid-cycle adjustment.” Short-term U.S. Treasury yields ended the Reporting Period higher than longer-term U.S. Treasury yields, as the yield curve inverted in anticipation of further interest rate cuts as well as softening economic data with an uptick in trade policy uncertainty.

New issue supply of short-term securities remained elevated during the Reporting Period, further contributing to rising yields offront-end, or short-term, U.S. Treasury securities. Higherfront-end rates, in turn, increased the yield of the Fund — the largest component of its return — during the Reporting Period.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund does not employ derivatives.

Q What was the Fund’s weighted average duration, weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon, weighted average yield to maturity and30-day standardized yield at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

A The Fund had a weighted average duration of 0.41 years, a weighted average maturity of 0.41 years and a weighted average coupon of 0.35% as of August 31, 2019. The Fund’s weighted average yield to maturity was 1.85% on August 31, 2019. The30-day net standardized subsidized yield of the Fund at the end of the Reporting Period was 1.83% and the 30-day gross unsubsidized yield was 1.81% at the end of the Reporting Period.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period?²

A The Index was 100% allocated to U.S. Treasury Securities as the end of the Reporting Period, and the Fund was also 100% invested in U.S. Treasury Securities at the end of the Reporting Period.

¹  Duration is a time measure of a bond’s interest-rate sensitivity, based on the weighted average of the time periods over which a bond’s cash flows accrue to the bondholder. Time periods are weighted by multiplying by the present value of its cash flow divided by the bond’s price. (A bond’s cash flows consist of coupon payments and repayment of capital.) A bond’s duration will almost always be shorter than its maturity, with the exception ofzero-coupon bonds, for which maturity and duration are equal. Weighted average duration is a measure of the duration for the securities in the portfolio overall. Weighted average maturity (“WAM”) is the weighted average amount of time until the debt securities in a portfolio mature, or the weighted average of the remaining terms to maturity of the debt securities within a portfolio. The higher the WAM, the longer it takes for all of the bonds in the portfolio to mature, and WAM is used to manage debt portfolios and to assess the performance of debt portfolio managers. Coupons are fixed percentages paid out on a fixed income security on an annual basis. Weighted average coupon is calculated by weighting the coupon of each debt security by its relative size in the portfolio. Yield to maturity is the annual return that a bond is expected to generate if it is held till its maturity given its coupon rate, payment frequency and current market price. Yield to maturity is essentially the internal rate of return of a bond, i.e. the discount rate at which the present value of a bond’s coupon payments and maturity value is equal to its current market price. The30-day standardized yield calculation is based on a30-day period ending on the last day of the Reporting Period. It is computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.

²  The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE US Treasury0-1 Year Composite Select Index.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income and Liquidity Solutions Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the period since it commenced operations on April 15, 2019 through August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 1.75% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 1.76% based on market price. The Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”), returned 0.90% for the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $50.00 per share on the date of inception and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $50.49 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $50.51 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in a broad range of U.S. dollar denominated bonds. The Fund primarily invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, authorities, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises (“U.S. Government Securities”), obligations of U.S. banks, corporate notes, commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S. companies, states, municipalities and other entities, fixed and floating rate mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest in U.S. dollar-denominated obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign banks, companies and governments or their agencies, authorities, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises.

The Fund will generally focus its investments in securities of issuers that, at the time of purchase, have a short-term credit rating of at least investment grade by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) (at leastA-2,P-2, or F2 by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), respectively), have a long-term credit rating of at least investment grade by at least one NRSRO (at leastBBB-, Baa3, or BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch, respectively) if such securities only maintain long-term ratings, or, if unrated, are determined by the Investment Adviser to be of comparable credit quality at the time of purchase. The Fund may also rely on the credit quality of a guarantee or demand feature in determining the credit quality of a security supported by the guarantee or demand feature.

The Fund will concentrate its investments in the financial services group of industries. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities issued by companies in the financial services group of industries and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s effective duration is expected to be one year or less. “Duration” is a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration of the Fund (or an individual debt security), the more sensitive its market price to changes in interest rates. In computing duration, the Fund will estimate the duration of obligations that are subject to prepayment or redemption by the issuer, taking into account the influence of interest rates on prepayments and coupon flows. This method of computing duration is known as “option-adjusted” duration.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), which is a fund that trades like other publicly-traded securities. The Fund is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

THE FUND IS NOT A MONEY MARKET FUND AND DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted positive absolute returns that outperformed the Index. The Fund, as

22

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

an actively managed ETF investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of high quality short-term holdings across multiple spread, ornon-U.S. Treasury, sectors, outperformed the Index due primarily to credit risk and having a longer duration than that of the Index, both of which boosted the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period.

Overall, short term bond returns are driven by two primary factors — short-term interest rates and sector yields.

Following four interest rate hikes in 2018, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) shifted to a more dovish view early in 2019, predicated on soft inflation and domestic economic data. The Fed then delivered its first interest rate cut — 25 basis points — since 2008 in July 2019. (A basis point is 1/100^th of a percentage point.) At the end of the Reporting Period, the effective federal funds rate stood at an upper bound of 2.25%. The Fed described the interest rate cut as a“mid-cycle adjustment.” Short-term U.S. Treasury yields ended the Reporting Period higher than longer-term U.S. Treasury yields, as the yield curve inverted in anticipation of further interest rate cuts as well as softening economic data with an uptick in trade policy uncertainty.

Short-term bond yields are usually anchored to Fed policy. With the Fed having completed a hiking cycle of nine interest rate increases since 2015, even with the one interest rate cut in July 2019, the Fund benefited from higher rates that had pushed up the yield of short-dated assets, i.e. maturities of one to three years. Given that the Fund is an ultra short bond fund, i.e. it maintains an effective duration of less than one year, its NAV has a low sensitivity to interest rate changes.

During the 12 months ended August 31, 2019, short-dated, investment grade credit yields tightened by approximately 100 basis points, and securitized credit yields fell by approximately 115 basis points. Yields initially rose toward the end of 2018, as investor sentiment turned negative for risk assets during the fourth calendar quarter amid trade policy uncertainties and softening macroeconomic data. However, yields then tightened during the Reporting Period, as strong corporate earnings were released beginning in early 2019. Yield tightening was beneficial to the performance of the Fund.

A broad diversified portfolio of high quality short-term holdings, across investment grade corporate credit, U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities and other securitized credit, helped the Fund achieve a high level of current income for investors while also providing reduced volatility as yields of various individual sectors fluctuated during the Reporting Period.

At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained alert for possible headwinds posted by trade tensions and slowing corporate earnings. However, we believed supportive central bank actions may prolong the cycle and keep investment grade corporate credit and other credit sectors supported in an environment of around-trend economic growth.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund does not employ derivatives.

Q What was the Fund’s weighted average duration, weighted average maturity, weighted average coupon, weighted average yield to maturity and30-day standardized yield at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

A The Fund had a weighted average duration of 0.50 years, a weighted average maturity of 10.22 years and a weighted average coupon of 2.76% as of August 31, 2019. The Fund’s weighted average yield to maturity was 2.01% on August 31, 2019. The30-day standardized subsidized net yield of the Fund at the end of the Reporting Period was 2.53%, and the 30-day unsubsidized gross yield of 2.49% at the end of the Reporting Period.

Cash	2.98	%

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period?²

A While the Index was 100% allocated to U.S. Treasury securities, the Fund was 5.12% invested in U.S. Treasury securities, 20.74% in asset-backed securities, 36.25% in residential mortgage-backed securities, 34.91% in investment grade corporate bonds and 2.98% in cash at the end of the Reporting Period.

²  The Fund and the Index have not been rated by an independent rating agency. The credit allocation provided refers to the Fund’s underlying portfolio securities. For the purpose of determining compliance with any credit rating requirement, the Fund assigns a security, at the time of purchase, the highest rating by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) if the security is rated by more than one NRSRO. For this purpose, the Fund relies only on the ratings of the following NRSROs: S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, Inc. This method may differ from the method independently used by the Index Provider. GSAM will use a single rating if that is the only one available. Securities that are not rated by all three agencies are reflected as such in the breakdown. Unrated securities may be purchased by the Fund if they are determined by the Investment Adviser to be of a credit quality consistent with the Fund’s credit rating requirements. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low quality, and for such securities the Investment Adviser will evaluate the credit quality. GSAM converts all ratings to the equivalent S&P major rating category when illustrating credit rating breakdowns. Ratings and Fund/Index credit quality may change over time.

1. ORGANIZATION

Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is anopen-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), consisting of multiple series. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2009. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”) along with their respective diversification status under the Act:

Fund	Diversification Classification
Goldman Sachs Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (“Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF”)	Diversified
Goldman Sachs Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF (“Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF”)*	Diversified
Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (“Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF”)	Diversified
Goldman Sachs Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF (“Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF”)	Diversified
Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF (“Access Ultra Short Bond ETF”)**	Diversified

* Commencement of operations on October 2, 2018.

** Commencement of operations on April 15, 2019.

The investment objective of each Fund (except the Access Ultra Short Bond ETF) is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective Index. The Access Ultra Short Bond ETF seeks to provide current income with preservation of capital.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust. Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF and Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”), and shares of the Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF and Access Ultra Short Bond ETF are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”). The market prices for the Funds’ shares may be different from the net asset values (“NAVs”). The Funds issue and redeem shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares, or multiples thereof, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principallyin-kind for a basket of securities and a cash amount, with respect to the Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF, Access Treasury 0-1 Year ETF and Access Ultra Short Bond ETF. Creation Units are issued for cash and redeemed principally in-kind for a basket of securities and a cash amount, with respect to the Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF. Shares generally trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only those that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) may do business directly with the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A.  Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily NAV calculations. Investment

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

C.  Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by a Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/orpro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex- dividend date. For each Fund, income distributions, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

A.  Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

C.  Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2019:

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Funds operate under a unitary management fee structure. Under the unitary fee structure, GSAM is responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of each such Fund, excluding payments under the Fund’s12b-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. As the Funds directly pay fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, the management fee collected by GSAM will be reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Funds to the independent Trustees.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, contractual and effective net unitary management fee rates with GSAM were at the following rates:

Fund	Contractual Unitary Management Fee			Effective Net Unitary Management Fee*
Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF		0.34	%		0.34	%

* Effective Net Unitary Management Fee includes the impact of management fee waivers, if any.

The Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF, and Access Ultra Short Bond ETF invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Funds invest. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, GSAM waived $1,016, $2,802, and $98 of the Funds’ management fees for the Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF, and Access Ultra Short Bond ETF, respectively.

GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate of 0.12% and 0.16% as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF and the Access Ultra Short Bond ETF, respectively. These arrangements will remain in effect through at least December 28, 2019 (with respect to the Access Treasury 0-1 Year ETF) and March 29, 2020 (with respect to the Access Ultra Short Bond ETF), and prior to such dates the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Board of Trustees. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, GSAM waived $571,125 and $1,915 of the Funds’ management fees for the Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF and the Access Ultra Short Bond ETF respectively.

B.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is solely due to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common trustees. The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019:

Fund	Beginning value as of August 31, 2018		Purchases at Cost		Proceeds from Sales			Ending value as of August 31, 2019		Shares as of August 31, 2019		Interest Income

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Funds only in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined in the Statement of Additional Information), of an order in proper form. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (each an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; or (2) a

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS (continued)

Depository Trust Company participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor. Retail investors will typically not qualify as an Authorized Participant or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market at market prices with the assistance of a broker and may be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Fixed creation and redemption transaction fees are imposed in connection with creations and redemptions.

Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (e.g. taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from sale of shares” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The difference between GAAP-basis andtax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is due to wash sales.

In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on atax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Funds’ and result primarily from redemptions in-kind.

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current year, and prior three tax years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax year remains subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

8. OTHER RISKS

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by a Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short- term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and a Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.

Index Risk (each Fund except the Access Ultra Short Bond ETF) — FTSE Fixed Income LLC (the “Index Provider”) constructs each Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology. A Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. In addition, because the Funds are not “actively” managed, unless a specific security is removed from an Index, a Fund generally would not sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on a Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Index. A Fund also does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. Therefore, a Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or to lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value

75

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

of one or more issuers. When an Index is rebalanced and a Fund in turn rebalances its portfolio to attempt to increase the correlation between the Fund’s portfolio and the Index, any transaction costs and market exposure arising from such portfolio rebalancing may be borne directly by the Fund and its shareholders. The Index Provider may utilize third party data in constructing each Index, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of any such third party data.

The FTSE Goldman Sachs Treasury Inflation Protected USD Bond Index is new and has a limited performance history. Errors in index data, index computation or the construction of an Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the applicable Fund and its shareholders. In addition, neither a Fund, the Investment Adviser nor the Index Provider can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund.

Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Trading Risk — Each Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of a Fund’s (except the Access Ultra Short Bond ETF) Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

Tracking Error Risk (each Fund except the Access Ultra Short Bond ETF) — Tracking error is the divergence of a Fund’s performance from that of its Index. The performance of a Fund may diverge from that of its Index for a number of reasons. Tracking error may occur because of transaction costs, a Fund’s holding of cash, differences in accrual of dividends, changes to its Index or the need to meet new or existing regulatory requirements. Unlike a Fund, the returns of an Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, including the trading costs associated with implementing changes to its portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

10. OTHER MATTERS

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm(continued)

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and broker; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expenses — For the Six Months Ended  8/31/2019 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Shares of a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares of a Fund.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from March 1, 2019 and held for the entire six months ended August 31, 2019, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (or less where indicated).

Actual Expenses— The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six months. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes— The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

+ Hypothetical expenses are based on each Fund’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.

* The Fund commenced operations on April 15, 2019. Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the ending value for the period, multiplied by 139/365, which represents a period of 139 days of a 365 day year (to reflect the Fund’s commencement of operation).

** Expenses for each Fund are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 31, 2019. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year.

The annualized net expense ratio for the period is as follows:

Fund
Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF	0.34%
Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF	0.12%
Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF	0.14%
Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF	0.12%
Access Ultra Short Bond ETF	0.16%

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Background

The Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on April 17, 2019. At a meeting held on November27-28, 2018 (the “Meeting”) in connection with the Fund’s organization, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees present who are not parties to the Fund’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”) approved the Management Agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund.

At the Meeting, the Trustees reviewed the Management Agreement with respect to the Fund, including information regarding the terms of the Management Agreement; the nature, extent and quality of the Investment Adviser’s anticipated services; the fees and expenses to be paid by the Fund; a comparison of the Fund’s proposed management fee and anticipated expenses with those paid by other similar exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”); potential benefits to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and potential benefits to be derived by the Fund from its relationship with the Investment Adviser. Various information was also provided at prior meetings at which the Fund was discussed.

In connection with the Meeting, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval of registered fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Meeting, the Trustees relied upon information included in a presentation made by the Investment Adviser at the Meeting and information received at prior Board meetings, as well as on their knowledge of the Investment Adviser resulting from their meetings and other interactions over time.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement

As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services andnon-advisory services that would be provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers would operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees considered that under the Management Agreement, the Fund pays a single management fee to the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser pays all of the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding payments under the Fund’s12b-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 Trustees also considered information about the Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies and other characteristics. In particular, they noted that the Fund would operate as an actively-managed ETF that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The Trustees noted the experience and capabilities of the key personnel of the Investment Adviser who would provide services to the Fund. In particular, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive experience in managing fixed income investment strategies. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Fund. They also considered that although the Fund was new (and therefore had no performance data to evaluate), the Investment Adviser has committed substantial financial and operational resources to ETFs and has extensive experience managing other types of registered investment companies. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Fund and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

Unitary Fee Structure and Profitability

The Trustees considered the contractual management fee rate payable by the Fund, noting that the Management Agreement provides for a unitary fee structure, pursuant to which the Fund pays a single management fee to the Investment Adviser and the Investment Adviser then pays all of the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses. In addition, the Trustees considered information on the services to be rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which would include both advisory and administrative services directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as an ETF. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to implement a fee waiver for the Fund. The Trustees also considered information provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of the Fund’s unitary management fee rate and projected expense ratio were prepared by the Investment Adviser and a third-party provider of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing the Fund’s unitary management fee rate and projected expense ratio to those of relevant peer funds. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons were useful in evaluating the

81

GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS FIXED INCOME ETFS

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)

reasonableness of the management fee and total expenses to be paid by the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser’s management of the Fund likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

In addition, the Trustees recognized that there was not yet profitability data to evaluate for the Fund, but considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that (i) such data would be provided after the Fund commenced operations, and (ii) the Fund was not expected to be profitable to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates initially.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the Fund would not have management fee breakpoints. The Trustees considered the Fund’s projected asset levels and information comparing the fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other ETFs in the Fund’s peer group.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits expected to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including: (a) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (d) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”).

Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders

The Trustees also noted that the Fund is expected to receive certain potential benefits as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Fund because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; and (c) the Fund’s access to certain affiliated distribution channels.

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the unitary management fee to be paid by the Fund was reasonable in light of the services to be provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Fund’s reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the engagement of the Investment Adviser likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved until November 28, 2020.

Goldman Sachs Access Treasury0-1 Year ETF — Other Information (Unaudited)

Effective from November 1, 2016 and solely for the purpose of marketing the Fund in the United Kingdom (“UK”), Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) identified itself as the alternative investment fund manager (“AIFM”) of the Fund. As AIFM, the Investment Adviser is responsible for complying with the UK marketing rules implementing the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (Directive 2011/61/EU) (the “Directive”).

In accordance with these rules, the AIFM is required to make available an Annual Report for the financial year of the Fund, containing certain disclosures as set out in Article 22 and 23 of the Directive. The disclosures set out below are included to satisfy these requirements as they have not been disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report.

I. Remuneration

The following disclosures are made in accordance with Article 107 of the EU Commission Delegated Regulation C (2012) 8370 in respect of the AIFM, which is part of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GS Group”). GS Group’s global remuneration philosophy, structure and process for setting remuneration generally applies to employees of the AIFM in the same manner as other employees globally. References to the “firm” and “we” throughout this disclosure include GS Group and the AIFM and any subsidiaries and affiliates.

a. Remuneration Program Philosophy

The remuneration philosophy and the objectives of the remuneration program for the firm, including the AIFM, are reflected in GS Group’s Compensation principles as posted on the Goldman Sachs public website (http://www.goldmansachs.com/investor relations/corporate governance/corporate governance-documents/compensation-principles.pdf) which includes the following:

1. We pay for performance – this is an absolute requirement under our compensation program and inherent in our culture.

2. We structure compensation, especially at senior levels, to align with GS Group’s shareholders’ long-term interests.

3. We use compensation as an important tool to attract, retain and motivate talent.

4. We align total compensation with corporate performance over the period.

The AIFM’s remuneration program is intended to be flexible enough to allow responses to changes in market conditions, but grounded in a framework that maintains effective remuneration practices.

b. Remuneration Governance

The planning, implementation and revision of the compensation policy of the AIFM is subject to the oversight of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of GS Group (the “GS Group Compensation Committee”), the ultimate parent of the AIFM.

The members of the GS Group Compensation Committee at the end of 2018 were M. Michele Burns (Chair), James A. Johnson, William W. George, Ellen J. Kullman, Lakshmi N. Mittal, and Adebayo O. Ogunlesi(ex-officio). None of the members of the GS Group Compensation Committee were an employee of the firm. All members of the GS Group Compensation Committee were “independent” within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange Rules and the firm’s Director Independence Policy.

The GS Group Compensation Committee has for several years recognised the importance of using an independent remuneration consultant that is appropriately qualified and that provides services solely to the GS Group Compensation Committee and not to the firm. The Compensation Committee continued to retain Semler Brossy Consulting Group LLC (Semler Brossy) as its independent remuneration consultant in 2018.

GS Group’s global process for setting variable remuneration (including the requirement to consider risk and compliance issues) applies to employees of the AIFM in the same way as to employees of other entities and in other regions and is subject to oversight by the senior management of the firm in the region.

c. Link Between Pay and Performance

Annual remuneration for employees is generally comprised of fixed and variable remuneration. The AIFM’s remuneration practices provide for variable remuneration determinations to be made on a discretionary basis. Variable remuneration is based on multiple factors and is not set as a fixed percentage of revenue or by reference to any other formula. Firmwide performance is a key factor in determining variable remuneration.

Year-end variable remuneration is determined through a discretionary process that relies on certain qualitative and quantitative metrics (amongst other factors) against which we assess performance atyear-end. We do not set specific goals, targets or other objectives for purposes of determiningyear-end variable remuneration nor do we set an initial remuneration pool that is adjusted for any such goals, targets or other objectives. Such metrics are not formulaic nor given any specific weight. In addition, employees are evaluated annually as part of the “360 degree” feedback process.

e. Risk Adjustment

Prudent risk management is a hallmark of both the firm’s and AIFM’s culture and sensitivity to risk and risk management are key elements in assessing employee performance, including as part of the “360 degree” feedback process noted above.

We take risk into account in setting the amount and form of variable remuneration for employees. We provide guidelines to assist compensation managers when applying discretion during the remuneration process to promote consistent consideration of the different metrics/factors considered during the remuneration process. Further, to ensure the independence of control function employees, remuneration for those employees is not determined by individuals in revenue-producing positions but rather by the management of the relevant control function.

f. Structure of Remuneration

1. Fixed Remuneration

2. Variable Remuneration:For employees with total and variable remuneration above a specific threshold, variable remuneration is generally paid in a combination of cash and equity-based remuneration. In general, the portion paid in the form of an equity-based award increases as variable remuneration increases.

g. Total Remuneration

Staff remuneration for the financial period ending December 31, 2018:

Total remuneration for the financial year ending December 31, 2018 paid by the AIFM to 18 staff in respect of the management of the assets of the Fund	US$201,422, made up of: •  US$92,362 fixed remuneration •  US$109,060 variable remuneration
Which includes:
(a)   Remuneration paid by the AIFM to senior management	US$134,750
(b)  Remuneration paid by the AIFM to other staff members whose actions have a material impact on the risk profile of the Fund	US$66,672

The remuneration figures above:

1. relate to the proportion of time spent by those staff on the management of the assets of the Fund; and

2. do not include figures for those staff whose activities may impact the Fund but who provide services through other affiliates of the AIFM.

II. Risk Management

The current risk profile of the Fund and the risk management framework employed by the AIFM to manage those risks are outlined in the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Investment Manager’s risk management function will seek to ensure that the risk profile disclosed to investors is consistent with applicable risk limits, monitor compliance with those risk limits, promptly notify the risk management component of the portfolio management team managing the portfolio of any inconsistency, or risk or inconsistency, between the risk profile and risk limits.

III. Material Changes

Article 22 of the Directive requires disclosure of any material changes in the information listed in Article 23 of the Directive.

In respect of the period ended December 31, 2018, there have been no material changes to the information listed in Article 23 of the Directive.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® ETFs

Principal Investment Strategies

The investment objective of each of the ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, ActiveBeta^® Europe Equity ETF, ActiveBeta^® International Equity ETF, ActiveBeta^® Japan Equity ETF, ActiveBeta^® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and ActiveBeta^® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF (each, a “Fund”), is to seek to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective underlying index (each, an “Index”).

Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index, in depositary receipts representing securities included in its underlying index and in underlying stocks in respect of depositary receipts included in its underlying index.

Each Index is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities within its applicable universe of issuers. Each Index is constructed using the patented ActiveBeta^® Portfolio Construction Methodology, which was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns. These factors include value (i.e., how attractively a stock is priced relative to its “fundamentals,” such as book value and free cash flow), momentum (i.e., whether a company’s share price is trending up or down), quality (i.e., profitability) and low volatility (i.e., a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time).Given each Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track its Index, each Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Index Provider”) constructs each Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves two steps.

Step 1

In the first step, individual factor subindexes for value, momentum, quality and low volatility (the “ActiveBeta^® Factor Subindexes”) are created from the constituents of the applicable Reference Index, a market capitalization-weighted index. To construct each ActiveBeta^® Factor Subindex, all constituents in the applicable Reference Index are assigned a “factor score” based on certain specified measurements (for example, in the case of the value factor, the factor score is based on a composite of book value-to-price, sales-to-price and free cash flow-to-price). Securities with a factor score that is above a fixed “Cut-off Score” receive an overweight in the applicable ActiveBeta^® Factor Subindex relative to the applicable Reference Index and securities with a factor score that is below the Cut-off Score receive an underweight in the ActiveBeta^® Factor Subindex relative to the applicable Reference Index. Accordingly, the magnitude of overweight or underweight that a security receives in constructing the applicable ActiveBeta^® Factor Subindex is determined by its attractiveness when evaluated based on the relevant factor. Each Index only includes long positions (i.e., short positions are impermissible), so the smallest weight for any given security is zero.

Step 2

The ActiveBeta^® Factor Subindexes are combined in equal weights to form each Index.

Each Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis in accordance with the published rebalancing schedule of the applicable Reference Index. The rules-based process used to construct each Index incorporates the ActiveBeta^® Turnover Minimization Technique, which seeks to reduce turnover within each Index.

At the end of the Reporting Period, i.e. the 12 months ended August 31, 2019, we continued to believe in the existence and persistence of certain equity common factors. We further believed that in capturing common factors, investment efficiency (risk-adjusted returns) can be improved by enhancing the informational efficiency and diversification of individual common factor portfolios. Additionally, we advocate the pursuit of factor diversification strategies, which combine individual common factor portfolios, as such strategies tend to dominate individual factors. A passive capture of informationally-efficient and diversified common factor strategies potentially delivers attractive after-cost information ratios.

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned-3.21% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and-2.81% based on market price. The Index returned-3.40%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net, unhedged, USD) (“MSCI Emerging Markets Index”), amarket-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned-4.36% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $32.98 per share on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $31.12 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $31.14 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compared the performance of the Index to that of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted negative absolute returns but outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Quality and Momentum contributed most positively to results during the Reporting Period, followed by Low Volatility. Value detracted from relative results during the Reporting Period. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow.

Q Which sectors and countries contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A Index constituents in the consumer discretionary, materials and utilities sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the energy, real estate and consumer staples sectors detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period.

From a country perspective, Index constituents in Brazil, Taiwan and Thailand contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index

during the Reporting Period. Conversely, Index constituents in South Korea, the Philippines and Russia detracted the most from the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, overweight positions in Brazilian consumer discretionary company Lojas Renner, Brazilian insurance company Sul America and Brazilian consumer staples company JBS contributed most positively (0.42%, 0.25% and 0.35% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Lojas Renner posted a robust double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period, and Sul America and JBS each generated a triple-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative results during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, an overweight position in South Korean consumer staples firm Amorepacific and underweight positions in Brazilian financials company Brasil Bolsa Balcao and Taiwanese semiconductor company MediaTek detracted most (0.11%, 0.23% and 0.22% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Amorepacific posted a double-digit decline within the Index during the Reporting Period, while Brasil Bolsa Balcao generated a triple-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period and MediaTek posted a more modest single-digit increase within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and the reference index at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

Performance Summary

August 31, 2019

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2019, of a $10,000 investment made on September 25, 2015 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and reference index, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net, unhedged), respectively, are shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions.The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below.

* Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns.

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Europe Equity ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Europe Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Europe Equity Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned-3.15% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and-2.77% based on market price. The Index returned-3.24%, and the MSCI Europe Index (net, unhedged, USD) (“MSCI Europe Index”), amarket-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned-3.03% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $30.82 per share on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $28.59 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $28.62 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the MSCI Europe Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compared the performance of the Index to that of the MSCI Europe Index.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditionalmethods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the MSCI Europe Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted negative absolute returns that closely tracked the MSCI Europe Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Momentum, Low Volatility and Quality contributed positively to relative results during the Reporting Period. Value detracted from relative results during the Reporting Period. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow.

Q Which sectors and countries contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A Index constituents in the financials, consumer discretionary and energy sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Europe Index during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the industrials, materials and health care sectors detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Europe Index during the Reporting Period.

From a country perspective, Index constituents in Germany, Sweden and Norway contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Europe Index during the Reporting Period. Conversely, Index constituents in France, Switzerland and the U.K. detracted the most from the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Europe Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the MSCI Europe Index, overweight positions in Sweden-based retailer Hennes & Mauritz, Germany-based sporting goods company Puma and U.K.-based global mining company Anglo American contributed most positively (0.57%, 0.49% and 0.34% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Each of these holdings posted a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative results during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the MSCI Europe Index, overweight positions in U.K. postal and delivery services provider Royal Mail and French biotechnology firm Ipsen and an underweight position in Swiss packaged foods company Nestle detracted most (0.00%¹, 0.34% and 3.41% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Royal Mail and Ipsen each posted a double-digit decline within the Index during the Reporting Period, while Nestle generated a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and reference index at the end of the Reporting Period? ²

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned-3.09% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and-3.08% based on market price. The Index returned-3.13%, and the MSCI World ex USA Index (net, unhedged, USD) (“MSCI World ex USA Index”), amarket-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned-2.90% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $29.42 per share on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $27.70 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $27.73 per share.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted negative absolute returns that modestly underperformed the MSCI World ex USA Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Value detracted from relative results, while Quality, Low Volatility and Momentum contributed positively to relative results during the Reporting Period. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time.

* Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns.

Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Japan Equity ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Japan Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Japan Equity Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned -4.32% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and -4.23% based on market price. The Index returned -4.81%, while the MSCI Japan Index (net, unhedged, USD) (“MSCI Japan Index”), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, and the reference index for the Index, returned -5.61% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $32.99 per share on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $30.59 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $30.52 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the MSCI Japan Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compared the performance of the Index to that of the MSCI Japan Index.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the MSCI Japan Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted negative absolute returns but outperformed the MSCI Japan Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Value contributed most positively to results relative to the MSCI Japan Index, followed by Quality, Low Volatility and Momentum, which also boosted relative results. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down.

Q Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A Index constituents in the information technology, financials and utilities sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the MSCI Japan Index during the Reporting Period. Conversely, Index constituents in the consumer discretionary, energy and real estate sectors detracted most from results relative to the MSCI Japan Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the MSCI Japan Index, overweight positions in health care company Suzuken, information technology

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

company NEC and utilities company Tokyo Electric Power contributed most positively (0.30%, 0.72% and 0.10% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Each of these holdings generated a gain within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative results during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the MSCI Japan Index, overweight positions in energy company Idemitsu Kosan and industrials company Marubeni and an underweight position in auto manufacturer Toyota Motor detracted most (0.47%, 0.80% and 3.74% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Idemitsu Kosan and Marubeni each posted a double-digit decline within the Index during the Reporting Period. Toyota Motor posted a solid single-digit positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and the reference index at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

¹ The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 2.42% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 2.39% based on market price.The Index returned 2.51%, and the S&P 500 Index (Total Return, USD) (“S&P 500 Index”), amarket-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, returned 2.92% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $58.75 on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $59.09 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $59.07 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the S&P 500 Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compared the performance of the Index to that of the S&P 500 Index.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditionalmethods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the S&P 500 Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted positive absolute returns but modestly underperformed the S&P 500 Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Value detracted from relative returns, while Low Volatility, Momentum and Quality contributed positively. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time.

Q Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A Index constituents in the consumer discretionary, information technology and health care sectors detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period. Partially offsetting these detractors were Index constituents in financials, energy and consumer staples, which contributed positively to the Index’s results relative to the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative results during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the S&P 500 Index, overweight positions in information technology services provider DXC Technology, generic and specialty pharmaceuticals company Mylan and department store retailer Kohl’s detracted most (0.30%, 0.46% and 0.45% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019,

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the S&P 500 Index, underweight positions in diversified chemicals company DuPont de Nemours, oilfield services company Schlumberger and diversified technology and financial services company General Electric contributed most positively (0.00%¹, 0.03% and 0.04% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Each of these holdings posted a double-digit decline within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index.

The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to provide exposure to the “factors” (or characteristics) that are commonly tied to a stock’s outperformance relative to market returns, and its performance is compared to that of the Russell 2000^® Index. Because the Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index, the discussion below compared the performance of the Index to that of the Russell 2000^® Index.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting totrack the Index, the Fund does not follow traditionalmethods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Russell 2000^® Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted negative absolute returns but outperformed the Russell 2000^® Index, as measured by NAV. Amongst underlying factors, Low Volatility, Momentum and Quality contributed positively to relative returns, while Value detracted. Low Volatility is a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time. Momentum is whether a company’s share price is trending up or down. Quality refers to sustainable profitability over time. Value refers to how attractively a stock is priced relative to its fundamentals, such as book value and free cash flow.

Q Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A Index constituents in the energy, health care and financials sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the Russell 2000^® Index during the Reporting Period. Partially offsetting these positive contributors were Index constituents in the real estate, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors, which detracted from the Index’s results relative to the Russell 2000^® Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the Russell 2000^® Index, underweight positions in oil and gas exploration and production companies Oasis Petroleum and Southwestern Energy and an overweight

¹  Some weights are 0.00% at August 31, 2019 either because those positions were taken out during the most recent rebalance given the Fund’s index construction methodology or because they were not components of the Index during the Reporting Period.

²  Sector classifications for securities may differ between the above listing and the Schedule of Investments due to differing classification methodologies. The classification methodology used for the above listing is as set forth by Russell Investments. The Fund’s composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the chart above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocation of exchange-traded funds held by the Fund are not reflected in the chart above. Investments in the securities lending vehicle represented 1.9% of the Fund’s net assets as of August 31, 2019. Figures above may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

³  The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® U.S. Small Cap Equity Index.

¹  The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.Information regarding how often shares of each Fund traded on NYSE Arca at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund can be found at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2019

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2019, of a $10,000 investment made on June 28, 2017 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and reference index, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® U.S. Small Cap Equity Index and the Russell 2000^® Index, respectively, are shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemptionin-kind transactions.The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs to obtain the most recent month-end returns.

ActiveBeta^®U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF’s Lifetime Performance

Performance of a $10,000 Investment, with distributions reinvested, from June 28, 2017 through August 31, 2019.

Average Annual Total Return through August 31, 2019*	1 Year Return	Since Inception
Shares based on NAV (Commenced June 28, 2017)	-12.28%	3.96%
Shares based on Market Price (Commenced June 28, 2017)	-12.41%	3.95%
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity Index	-12.37%	4.08%
Russell 2000® Index	-12.89%	3.57%

* Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns.

1. ORGANIZATION

Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is anopen-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), consisting of multiple series. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2009. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”) along with their respective diversification status under the Act:

Fund	Diversification Classification
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (“ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF”)	Diversified
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF (“ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF”)	Diversified
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® International Equity ETF (“ActiveBeta® International Equity ETF”)	Diversified
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Japan Equity ETF (“ActiveBeta® Japan Equity ETF”)	Diversified
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (“ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF”)	Diversified
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF (“ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF”)	Diversified

The investment objective of each Fund is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective Index.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (each, an “Agreement” and together, the “Agreements”) with the Trust. Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). The market price for the Funds’ shares may be different from the net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares, or multiples thereof, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principallyin-kind for a basket of securities and a cash amount, with respect to the ActiveBeta^® Europe Equity ETF, ActiveBeta^® International Equity ETF, ActiveBeta^® Japan Equity ETF, ActiveBeta^® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and the ActiveBeta^® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF. The ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF issues and redeems Creation Units partially for cash and partiallyin-kind. Shares generally trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only those that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) may do business directly with the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A.  Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily NAV calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments

96

GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA^® ETFS

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

C.  Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by a Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/orpro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. For each fund, income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

E.  Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM

97

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

August 31, 2019

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

A.  Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

Equity Securities— Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2.

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and ETFs. Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

C.  Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2019:

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreements, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreements, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

For each Fund except the ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, the Funds operate under a unitary management fee structure. Under the unitary fee structure, GSAM is responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of each such Fund, excluding payments under the Fund’s12b-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. As the Funds directly pay fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, the management fee collected by GSAM will be reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Funds to the independent Trustees.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, unitary management fees with GSAM were at the following rates for each Fund except the ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF:

Fund	Unitary Management Fee
ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF		0.25	%
ActiveBeta® International Equity ETF		0.25	%
ActiveBeta® Japan Equity ETF		0.25	%
ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity  ETF		0.09	%
ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF		0.20	%

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rate for the ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF:

Fund	Contractual and Effective Net Management Fee
ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF		0.40	%

GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA^® ETFS

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

B.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF is 0.05%. This Other Expense limitation will remain in effect permanently and GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, these expense reimbursements amounted to $943,925.

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Funds only in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined in the Statement of Additional Information), of an order in proper form. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (each an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; or (2) a Depository Trust Company participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor. Retail investors will typically not qualify as an Authorized Participant or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units.

Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market at market prices with the assistance of a broker and may be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Fixed creation and redemption transaction fees are imposed in connection with creations and redemptions.

Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (e.g. taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from sale of shares” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

The Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds’ master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for thenon-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right ofset-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2019, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

As of August 31, 2019, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

	ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF			ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF			ActiveBeta® International Equity ETF			ActiveBeta® Japan Equity ETF			ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF			ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF

The difference between GAAP-basis andtax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, partnership investments, and passive foreign investment company investments.

In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on atax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from redemptionsin-kind.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

9. OTHER RISKS

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.

Index Risk — GSAM (the “Index Provider”) constructs each Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology. A Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. In addition, because the Funds are not “actively” managed, unless a specific security is removed from an Index, a Fund generally would not sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on a Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Index. A Fund also does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. Therefore, a Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or to lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. The Index Provider relies on third party data it believes to be reliable in constructing each Index, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of such third party data. Errors in index data, index computation or the construction of an Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the applicable Fund and its shareholders. In addition, neither a Fund, the Investment Adviser, the Calculation Agent nor the Index Provider can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.

106

GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA^® ETFS

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Trading Risk — Each Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of a Fund’s Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

Tracking Error Risk — Tracking error is the divergence of a Fund’s performance from that of its Index. The performance of a Fund may diverge from that of its Index for a number of reasons. Tracking error may occur because of transaction costs, a Fund’s holding of cash, differences in accrual of dividends, changes to its Index or the need to meet new or existing regulatory requirements. Unlike a Fund, the returns of an Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, including the trading costs associated with implementing changes to its portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Goldman Sachs ETF Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Europe Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® International Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Japan Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, and Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF:

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Europe Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® International Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® Japan Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, and Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta^® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF(six of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes,and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2019, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expenses — Six Months ended 8/31/2019 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares of a Fund.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from March 1, 2019 and held for the six months ended August 31, 2019, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (or less where indicated).

Actual Expenses— The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six months. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes— The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses for the Fund are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 31, 2019. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratio for the period is as follows:

INVESTMENT PROCESS

Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF

Principal Investment Strategies

The Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index.

The Solactive US Large Cap Equal Weight Index (GTR) (the “Index”) consists of equity securities of large capitalization U.S. issuers. The Index is an equal-weight version of the Solactive US Large Cap Index, a market capitalization-weighted index that includes equity securities of approximately 500 of the largest U.S. companies. The Index includes the same constituents as the Solactive US Large Cap Index. However, unlike the Solactive US Large Cap Index, in which each security is weighted based on its market value, each security in the Index is given the same weight, approximately 0.2% of the Index, at each rebalance.

As of August 31, 2019, the Index consisted of 495 securities with a market capitalization range of between approximately $5.2 billion and $1,099.4 billion, and an average market capitalization of approximately $50.2 billion. The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis in May and November to reflect changes in the constituents of the Solactive US Large Cap Index. New securities from initial public offerings are also added on a semi-annual basis in February and August, subject to fulfillment of certain eligibility criteria. The Index is rebalanced on a monthly basis to weight all constituents equally.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

* * *

At the end of the Reporting Period, i.e., the 12-month period ended August 31, 2019, we believed that whilemega-cap stocks may drive performance in marketcap-weighted equity indices, many top performers may be found amongnon-mega-cap stocks. We maintain conviction in our methodology for providing meaningful access to opportunities amongnon-mega-cap stocks and avoiding concentration inmega-cap stocks by equally weighting the largest U.S. equities and rebalancing on a monthly basis. We believe this approach allows investors to participate in a broad range of market cycles and potentially reduce exposure to isolated market incidents.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Solactive US Large Cap Equal Weight Index (GTR) (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 1.62% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 1.61% based on market price.The Index returned 1.78%, and the S&P 500^® Index (Total Return, USD) (“S&P 500^® Index”), amarket-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, returned 2.92% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $46.33 on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $46.30 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $46.32 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index’s performance is compared to that of the S&P 500^® Index below.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the S&P 500^® Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Index posted a positive absolute return but underperformed the S&P 500^® Index. The Fund also underperformed the S&P 500^® Index during the Reporting Period, as measured by NAV.

Q Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A Index constituents in the energy, communication services and consumer staples sectors detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the S&P 500^® Index. Partially offsetting these detractors were Index constituents in the real estate, utilities and financials sectors, which contributed positively to the Index’s results relative to the S&P 500^® Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative results during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the S&P 500^® Index, underweight positions in software giant Microsoft, consumer goods manufacturer Procter & Gamble and payments processor Visa detracted most (0.20%, 0.21% and 0.21% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Each of these holdings posted a double-digit positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the S&P 500^® Index, underweight positions ine-commerce retailing behemoth Amazon.com and information technology giants Apple and Alphabet contributed most positively (0.20%, 0.21% and 0.20% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively.) Each of these holdings posted a negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and the S&P 500^® Index at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

¹  Sector classifications for securities may differ between the above listing and the Schedule of Investments due to differing classification methodologies. The classification methodology used for the above listing is as set forth by Standard & Poor’s. The Fund’s composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the chart above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocation of exchange-traded funds held by the Fund are not reflected in the chart above. Investments in the securities lending vehicle represented 0.2% of the Fund’s net assets as of August 31, 2019. Figures above may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

* Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade at 4:00 pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns.

August 31, 2019

1. ORGANIZATION

Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) which is anopen-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), consisting of multiple series. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2009.

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Solactive US Large Cap Equal Weight Index (GTR) (the “Index”).

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust. The Fund is an exchange- traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”). The market price for the Fund’s shares may be different from the net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems shares at its NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares, or multiples thereof, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principallyin-kind for a basket of securities and a cash amount. Shares generally trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only those that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) may do business directly with the Fund.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A.  Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily NAV calculations. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

C.  Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by the Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust that may not solely relate to the Fund are allocated to the Fund and the other applicable funds of the Trust on a straight-line and/or pro- rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex- dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and annually, respectively.

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Fund’s net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

A.  Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments— The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2.

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share of the institutional share class on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Fund invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’s shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments— To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker

quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

C.  Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2019:

For further information regarding security characteristics, see the Schedule of Investments.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Fund operates under a unitary management fee structure. Under the unitary fee structure, GSAM is responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of the Fund, excluding payments under the Fund’s12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. As the Fund directly pays fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, the management fee collected by GSAM will be reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund to the independent Trustees.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the unitary management fee rate with GSAM was 0.09%.

B.  Other Transactions with Affiliates —The Fund may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is solely due to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common trustees. The following table provides information about the Fund’s investment in The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019:

Fund	Beginning value as of August 31, 2018	Purchases at Cost		Proceeds from Sales			Realized Loss			Change in Unrealized Appreciation		Ending value as of August 31, 2019		Shares as of August 31, 2019		Dividend Income
Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF	$149,821	$	328,627	$	(146,712	)	$	(3,440	)	$	4,689	$	332,985		1,633	$	4,365

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Fund only in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined in the Statement of Additional Information), of an order in proper form. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions

18

GOLDMAN SACHS EQUAL WEIGHT U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY ETF

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS (continued)

(each an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; or (2) a Depository Trust Company participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor. Retail investors will typically not qualify as an Authorized Participant or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market at market prices with the assistance of a broker and may be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Fixed creation and redemption transaction fees are imposed in connection with creations and redemptions.

Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the Fund for certain transaction costs (e.g. taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from sale of shares” in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

Share activity is as follows:

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of long-term securities for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, were $43,460,442 and $43,078,783, respectively.

The purchases and sales fromin-kind creation and redemption transactions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, were $133,393,485 and $47,993,575, respectively.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the Fund receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Fund whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Fund by paying the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Fund’s master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for thenon-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right ofset-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Fund’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Fund’s overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2019 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Both the Fund and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, are reported under Investment Income on the Statement of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Fund’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019:

Beginning value as of August 31, 2018		Purchases at Cost		Proceeds from Sales			Ending value as of August 31, 2019
	61,541	$	4,182,255	$	(3,923,652	)	$	320,144

8. TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018 were as follows:

	2019		2018
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary Income*	$	1,705,332	$	408,419
Long-term capital gain		—		2,087
Total taxable distributions	$	1,705,332	$	410,506

* For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

As of August 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on atax-basis were as follows:

	Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
Undistributed ordinary income — net	$	478,110
Undistributed long-term capital gains		—
Total undistributed earnings	$	478,110
Capital loss carryforwards:
Perpetual Short-Term	$	(32,643	)
Perpetual Long-Term		—
Timing differences (Post-October Capital Loss Deferral)		(378,266	)
Unrealized gains (losses) — net		5,281,767
Total accumulated earnings (losses) net	$	5,348,968

As of August 31, 2019, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

	Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
Tax Cost	$	163,428,774
Gross unrealized gain		12,827,624
Gross unrealized loss		(7,545,857	)
Net unrealized gains (losses)	$	5,281,767

The difference between GAAP-basis andtax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments.

The Fund reclassed $5,403,694 from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending August 31, 2019. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Fund and result primarily from redemptions in-kind.

GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current year and prior tax year) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax year remains subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

9. OTHER RISKS

The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Index Risk —Solactive AG (the “Index Provider”) constructs the Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology. The Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. In addition, because the Fund is not “actively” managed, unless a specific security is removed from its Index, the Fund generally would not sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have anadverse effect on the Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Index. The Fund also does notattempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. Therefore, the Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or to lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. The Index Provider relies on third party data it believes

21

GOLDMAN SACHS EQUAL WEIGHT U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY ETF

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

August 31, 2019

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

to be reliable in constructing the Index, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of such third party data. The Index isnew and has a limited performance history. Errors in index data, index computation or the construction of the Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, neither the Fund, the Investment Adviser nor the Index Provider can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Trading Risk— The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of the Fund’s Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

Tracking Error Risk — Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of its Index. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of its Index for a number of reasons. Tracking error may occur because of transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of cash, differences in accrual of dividends, changes to its Index or the need to meet new or existing regulatory requirements. Unlike the Fund, the returns of its Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, including the trading costs associated with implementing changes to the portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Months Ended 8/31/2019  (Unaudited)

As a shareholder you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Shares of the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares of the Fund.

The example is based on an investment of $l,000 invested at the beginning of the period from March 1, 2019 and held for the six months ended August 31, 2019, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (or less where indicated).

Actual Expenses — The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six months. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical 5% return	$	1,000	$	1,024.75	+	$	0.46

+ Hypothetical expenses are based on the Fund’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.

* Expenses for the Fund are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 31, 2019. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year.

The annualized net expense ratio for the period is as follows:

INVESTMENT PROCESS

Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF

Principal Investment Strategies

The Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index, in depositary receipts representing securities included in its underlying index and in underlying stocks in respect of depositary receipts included in its underlying index. The Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund VIP Index^TM (the “Index”) is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities whose performance is expected to influence the long portfolios of hedge funds. Such equity securities are defined as those that appear most frequently among the top ten equity holdings of U.S. hedge fund managers that select their investments based upon fundamental analysis. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Index Provider”) is the provider of the Index, which is constructed in accordance with a rules-based methodology.

Hedge fund managers report their U.S. equity holdings, which are made public 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a quarterly basis once the information has been fully disseminated. The construction of the Index involves accessing the identifiers and share counts of U.S. equity holdings disclosed by hedge fund managers in their quarterly Form 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Index is constructed to then apply share prices at the time of data collection to the numbers of shares listed in each Form 13F disclosure filing to calculate the dollar market value of each reported position. U.S. hedge fund managers that select their investments based upon fundamental analysis are assumed to be U.S. hedge fund managers with no fewer than 10 and no more than 200 distinct U.S. equity positions, as reported in the hedge fund managers’ most recent Form 13F filings. Managers with less than $10 million of disclosed equity assets are excluded.

The equity positions are then ranked within each individual hedge fund manager’s portfolio by descending market value. The approximately 50 stocks that appear most frequently in the top 10 holdings of this universe then become the Index constituents. Constituents are equal dollar-weighted at each rebalance.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

The Index does not include hedge funds (i.e.,unlisted, privately offered funds) and is not designed to approximate the performance of any hedge fund manager, hedge fund or group of hedge fund managers or hedge funds. The Index should not be considered a hedge fund replication strategy. As of August 31, 2019, the Index consisted of 50 securities with a market capitalization range of between approximately $3.1 billion and $1,052.1 billion. The components of the Index may change over time. The percentage of the portfolio exposed to any asset class will vary from time to time as the weightings of the securities within the Index change, and the Fund may not be invested in each asset class at all times.

THE FUND IS NOT A HEDGE FUND AND DOES NOT INVEST IN HEDGE FUNDS.

* * *

At the end of the Reporting Period, i.e. the 12 months ended August 31, 2019, we continued to believe the most effective way to identify the most important positions of hedge fund managers is to know what equities they are holding. We also maintained conviction in our methodology for extracting these important positions — by obtaining information from quarterly Form 13F filings of hedge fund managers and identifying stocks that appear among top holdings most frequently. Through an efficient implementation, we believe investors are able to access top hedge fund long equity ideas and gain exposure to evolving U.S. market themes.

Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund VIP Index^TM (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned-0.99% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and-0.70% based on market price.The Index returned-0.87%, and the S&P 500^® Index (Total Return, USD) (“S&P 500^® Index”), a market cap-based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, returned 2.92% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $57.98 on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $56.86 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $57.03 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities whose performance is expected to influence the long portfolios of hedge funds. Such equity securities are defined as those that appear most frequently among the top ten equity holdings of U.S. hedge fund managers that select their investments based upon fundamental analysis. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Index Provider”) is the provider of the Index, which is constructed in accordance with a rules-based methodology. Hedge fund managers report their U.S. equity holdings, which are made public 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a quarterly basis once the information has been fully disseminated. The construction of the Index involves accessing the identifiers and share counts of U.S. equity holdings disclosed by hedge fund managers in their quarterly Form 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Index is constructed to then apply share prices at the time of data collection to the numbers of shares listed in each Form 13F disclosure filing to calculate the dollar market value of each reported position. U.S. hedge fund managers that select their investments based upon fundamental analysis are assumed to be U.S. hedge fund managers with no fewer than 10 and more than 200 distinct U.S. equity positions, as reported in the hedge fund managers’ most recent Form 13F filings. Managers with less than $10 million of disclosed equity assets are excluded. The equity positions are then ranked within each individual hedge fund manager’s portfolio by descending market value. The approximately 50 stocks that appear most frequently in the top 10 holdings of this universe then become the Index constituents. Constituents are equal dollar-weighted at each rebalance.

The Index’s performance is compared to that of the S&P 500^® Index below.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the S&P 500^® Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Index posted a modestly negative absolute return that underperformed the S&P 500^® Index. The Fund also underperformed the S&P 500^® Index during the Reporting Period, as measured by NAV.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

Q Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A Index constituents in the utilities, information technology and materials sectors detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the S&P 500^® Index during the Reporting Period. Partially offsetting these detractors were Index constituents in the industrials, consumer discretionary and communication services sectors, which contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the S&P 500^® Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative results during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the S&P 500^® Index, overweight positions in California utilities provider PG&E, web hosting and domain name registrar GoDaddy and specialty pharmaceuticals company Allergan detracted most (1.29%, 1.99% and 2.00% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Each of these holdings generated a double-digit negative return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the S&P 500^® Index, overweight positions in aerospace components manufacturer TransDigm Group, enterprise information technology management software and cloud service provider ServiceNow and online used car retailer and technology company Carvana contributed most positively (1.96%, 2.04% and 2.02% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Each of these holdings generated a robust double-digit positive return within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and the S&P 500^® Index at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

¹  Sector classifications for securities may differ between the above listing and the Schedule of Investments due to differing classification methodologies. The classification methodology used for the above listing is as set forth by Standard & Poor’s. The Fund’s composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the chart above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investments in the securities lending vehicle represented 0.3% of the Fund’s net assets as of August 31, 2019. Figures above may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

Performance of a $10,000 Investment, with distributions reinvested, from November 1, 2016 through August 31, 2019.

Average Annual Total Return through August 31, 2019*	1 Year Return	Since Inception
Shares based on NAV (Commenced November 1, 2016)	-0.99%	13.88%
Shares based on Market Price (Commenced November 1, 2016)	-0.70%	14.00%
Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund VIP Index™	-0.87%	14.28%
S&P 500® Index (Total Return, USD)	2.92%	14.51%

* Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculations assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade at 4:00 pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2019

1. ORGANIZATION

Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) which is anopen-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), consisting of multiple series. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2009.

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund VIP Index^™ (the “Index”).

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). The market price for the Fund’s shares may be different from the net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems shares at its NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares, or multiples thereof, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principallyin-kind for a basket of securities and a cash amount. Shares generally trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only those that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) may do business directly with the Fund.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A.  Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily NAV calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Fund may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments.

C.  Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by the Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust that may not solely relate to the Fund are allocated to the Fund and the other applicable funds of the Trust on a straight-line and/orpro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and annually, respectively.

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Fund’s net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

A.  Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

C.  Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of August 31, 2019:

(a) Amounts are disclosed by continent to highlight the impact of time zone differences between local market close and the calculation of NAV. Security valuations are based on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, which may differ from country of domicile noted in the table.

For further information regarding security characteristics, see the Schedule of Investments.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Fund operates under a unitary management fee structure. Under the unitary fee structure, GSAM is responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of the Fund, excluding payments under the Fund’s12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. As the Fund directly pays fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, the management fee collected by GSAM will be reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund to the independent Trustees.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the unitary management fee rate with GSAM was 0.45%.

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Fund only in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined in the Statement of Additional Information), of an order in proper form. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (each an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; or (2) a Depository Trust Company participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor. Retail investors will typically not qualify as an Authorized Participant or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market at market prices with the assistance of a broker and may be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Fixed creation and redemption transaction fees are imposed in connection with creations and redemptions.

14

GOLDMAN SACHS HEDGE INDUSTRY VIP ETF

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS (continued)

Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the Fund for certain transaction costs (e.g. taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from sale of shares” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, were $93,316,753 and $92,706,274, respectively.

The purchases and sales fromin-kind creation and redemption transactions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, were $42,506,753 and $66,263,754, respectively.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the Fund receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Fund whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Fund by paying the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Fund’s master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for thenon-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right ofset-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Fund’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Fund’s overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2019, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

Both the Fund and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, are reported under Investment Income on the Statement of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Fund’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019:

Beginning value as of August 31, 2018		Purchases at Cost		Proceeds from Sales			Ending value as of August 31, 2019

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

As of August 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on atax-basis were as follows:

	Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF
Undistributed ordinary income — net	$	149,440
Undistributed long-term capital gains		—
Total undistributed earnings	$	149,440

Unrealized gains (losses) — net		(3,519,887	)
Total accumulated earnings (losses) net	$	(5,735,119	)

As of August 31, 2019, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

	Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF
Tax Cost	$	75,754,185
Gross unrealized gain		6,029,169
Gross unrealized loss		(2,109,716	)
Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities	$	3,919,453

The Fund reclassed $6,066,099 from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending August 31, 2019. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Fund and result primarily from redemptions in-kind.

GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current year and prior two years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

9. OTHER RISKS

The Fund’s portfolio’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Index Risk — GSAM (the “Index Provider”) constructs the Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology. The Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. In addition, because the Fund is not “actively” managed, unless a specific security is removed from its Index, the Fund generally would not sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Index. The Fund also does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. Therefore, the Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or to lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. The Index Provider relies on third party data it believes to be reliable in constructing the Index, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of such third party data. Errors in index

17

GOLDMAN SACHS HEDGE INDUSTRY VIP ETF

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

August 31, 2019

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

data, index computation or the construction of the Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, neither the Fund, the Investment Adviser, the Calculation Agent nor the Index Provider can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Trading Risk — The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of the Fund’s Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

Tracking Error Risk — Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of its Index. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of its Index for a number of reasons. Tracking error may occur because of transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of cash, differences in accrual of dividends, changes to its Index or the need to meet new or existing regulatory requirements. Unlike the Fund, the returns of its Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, including the trading costs associated with implementing changes to its portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

TotheBoard of Trustees of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust and Shareholders of

Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operationsfor the year ended August 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019, including the related notes,and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Months Ended 8/31/2019  (Unaudited)

As a shareholder you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Shares of the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares of the Fund.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from March 1, 2019 and held for the six months ended August 31, 2019, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (or less where indicated).

Actual Expenses— The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six months. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes— The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Hedge Industry VIP ETF
	Beginning Account Value 3/1/19		Ending Account Value 8/31/19			Expenses Paid*
Actual based on NAV	$	1,000	$	1,022.00		$	2.29
Hypothetical 5% return	$	1,000	$	1,022.94	+	$	2.29

+ Hypothetical expenses are based on the Fund’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.

* Expenses for the Fund are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 31, 2019. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year.

The annualized net expense ratio for the period is as follows:

The reports concerning the Fund included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Fund in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Fund, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Fund. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-621-2550; and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) web site at http://www.sec.gov.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF

Principal Investment Strategies

The Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the JUST US Large Cap Diversified Index (the “Index”).

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its underlying index, in depositary receipts representing securities included in its underlying index and in underlying stocks in respect of depositary receipts included in its underlying index.

The Index is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities of large capitalization U.S. issuers that engage in “just business behavior” based on rankings produced by JUST Capital Foundation, Inc. (the “Index Provider”). The Index Provider publishes an annual ranking of issuers in the Russell 1000^® Index (the “Reference Index”) based on its quantitative performance assessment of seven issue areas: how they treat their workers, their customers, the communities they interact with, the environment, and their shareholders, their commitment to making quality and beneficial products, and job creation.

The Index Provider seeks to encourage greater accountability in the business community and drive positive change among large publicly-traded U.S. corporations by (a) defining business behaviors that the American public cares most about (through extensive qualitative and quantitative survey research), (b) developing metrics that correspond to these issues in accordance with a robust, transparent methodology, (c) ranking the largest publicly-traded U.S. companies on the basis of these metrics, and (d) developing tools and products that allow investors to direct capital towards more “just” companies.

The Index is a market capitalization-weighted index that consists of the top-ranked 50% of companies in the Reference Index by industry, based on the most recent rankings by the Index Provider. On the annual Index reconstitution date, Index constituent weights are adjusted such that the Index is industry neutral and matches the Reference Index’s industry weights, based on the Industry Classification Benchmark (“ICB”) industry classification.

As of August 31, 2019, the Index consisted of 427 securities with a market capitalization range of between approximately $1.0 billion and $1,052.6 billion. The Index is reconstituted annually in December and rebalanced in March, June and September on dates corresponding to the rebalance dates for the Reference Index. The components of the Index may change over time. The Index Provider determines whether an issuer is a U.S. issuer by reference to the index methodology of the Reference Index. FTSE Russell, which constructs the Reference Index, will deem an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if it is incorporated in, has a stated headquarters in, and trades in the U.S.; if any of these do not match, the Reference Index methodology provides for consideration of certain additional factors.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

The Fund seeks to invest in the Index components in approximately the same weighting that such components have within the Index at the applicable time. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index in the approximate Index weight. In these circumstances, the Fund may purchase a sample of securities in the Index. There may also be instances in which the Investment Adviser may choose to underweight or overweight a security in the Fund’s Index, purchase securities not in the Fund’s Index that the Investment Adviser believes are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in such Index or utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques.

The Index is calculated by Frank Russell Company (“Russell” or the “Calculation Agent”) in accordance with the methodology and constituent list developed and provided by the Index Provider.

The Fund may concentrate its investments (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index is concentrated. The degree to which components of the Index represent certain sectors or industries may change over time.

The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of the Fund’s total assets (including the value of any collateral received).

At the end of the Reporting Period, i.e., the 12-month period ended August 31, 2019, we believed a focus on just business behavior via a data-driven approach may provide a suitable core U.S. equity allocation for investors seeking to encourage greater accountability in the business community through their investments. The Fund’s data-driven approach collects and analyzes data from a diverse range of sources, utilizing more than 120,000 data points across 85 unique metrics to score the performance of Russell 1000^® Index companies. These companies are scored across a variety of issues, including worker treatment, customer concerns and environment impacts to provide broad market exposure.

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the JUST US Large Cap Diversified Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 2.06% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 2.12% based on market price. The Index returned 2.22%, and the Russell 1000^® Index (Total Return, USD) (“Russell 1000^® Index”), a market-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, returned 2.49% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $42.13 on August 31, 2018 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $42.04 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $42.06 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index’s performance is compared to that of the Russell 1000^® Index below.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Russell 1000^® Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Index posted positive absolute returns but modestly underperformed the Russell 1000^® Index. The Fund also modestly underperformed the Russell 1000^® Index during the Reporting Period, as measured by NAV.

Q Which sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s relative performance during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A Index constituents in the consumer discretionary, industrials and utilities sectors detracted most from the Index’s results relative to the Russell 1000^® Index during the Reporting Period. Index constituents in the consumer staples, energy and health care sectors contributed most positively to the Index’s results relative to the Russell 1000^® Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions detracted the most from the Index’s relative results during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the Russell 1000^® Index, an overweight position in e-commerce retailing leader Amazon.com and having no exposure to fast-food restaurant giant McDonald’s or semiconductor company Broadcom detracted most (3.58%, 0.00%¹ and 0.00%¹ of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Amazon.com posted a double-digit loss within the Index during the Reporting Period, while McDonald’s and Broadcom each generated a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period?

A Relative to the Russell 1000^® Index, overweight positions in consumer staples leader Procter & Gamble, software giant Microsoft and payments processor Mastercard contributed most positively (1.70%, 4.39% and 1.37% of Fund net assets

¹  Some weights are 0.00% at August 31, 2019 either because those positions were eliminated during the most recent rebalance given the Index construction methodology or were not held at all during the Reporting Period as they did not meet the Fund’s investment criteria.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Each of these holdings posted a double-digit gain within the Index during the Reporting Period.

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index and the Russell 1000^® Index at the end of the Reporting Period?²

¹  The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units. Shares otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading at market price (not NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.Information regarding how often shares of the Fund traded on NYSE Arca at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV of the Fund can be found at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs.

Performance Summary

August 31, 2019

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2019, of a $10,000 investment made on June 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index and amarket-cap based index against which the performance of the Fund is measured, the JUST US Large Cap Diversified Index and the Russell 1000^® Index (Total Return, USD) are shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions.The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below.

Average Annual Total Return through August 31, 2019*	1 Year Return	Since Inception
Shares based on NAV (Commenced June 7, 2018)	2.06%	5.85%
Shares based on Market Price (Commenced June 7, 2018)	2.12%	5.89%

* Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees and operating expenses incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade at 4:00 pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2019

1. ORGANIZATION

Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of the Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) which is anopen-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), consisting of multiple series. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2009.

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the JUST US Large Cap Diversified Index (the “Index”).

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust. The Fund is an exchange- traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). The market price for the Fund’s shares may be different from its net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems shares at its NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares, or multiples thereof, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principallyin-kind for a basket of securities and a cash amount. Shares generally trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only those that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) may do business directly with the Fund.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A.  Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily NAV calculations. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

C.  Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by the Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust that may not solely relate to the Fund are allocated to the Fund and the other applicable funds of the Trust on a straight-line and/orpro- rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex- dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and annually, respectively.

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Fund’s net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

A.  Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

On August 31, 2019 the Fund did not hold Level 3 securities.

For further information regarding security characteristics, see the Schedule of Investments.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Fund operates under a unitary management fee structure. Under the unitary fee structure, GSAM is responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of the Fund, excluding payments under the Fund’s12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. As the Fund directly pays fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, the management fee collected by GSAM will be reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund to the independent Trustees.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the unitary management fee rate with GSAM was 0.20%.

B.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — The Fund may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is solely due to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common trustees. The following table provides information about the Fund’s investment in The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019:

Beginning value as of August 31, 2018	Purchases at Cost	Proceeds from Sales	Realized Loss	Change in Unrealized Depreciation	Ending value as of August 31, 2019	Shares as of August 31, 2019	Dividend Income
$1,247,789	$196,807	$(789,392)	$(100,175)	$(86,240)	$468,789	2,299	$11,708

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Fund only in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined in the Statement of Additional Information), of an order in proper form. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (each an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; or (2) a

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

August 31, 2019

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS (continued)

Depository Trust Company participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor. Retail investors will typically not qualify as an Authorized Participant or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market at market prices with the assistance of a broker and may be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Fixed creation and redemption transaction fees are imposed in connection with creations and redemptions.

Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the Fund for certain transaction costs (e.g. taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from sale of shares” in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

Share activity is as follows:

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of long-term securities for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, were $31,623,786 and $30,864,449, respectively.

The purchase and sales fromin-kind creation and redemption transactions for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, were $43,928,977 and $178,595,802, respectively.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the Fund receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

20

GOLDMAN SACHS JUST U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY ETF

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued)

The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Fund whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Fund by paying the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Fund’s master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for thenon-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right ofset-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Fund’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Fund’s overnight and continuous agreements which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2019 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Both the Fund and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, are reported under Investment Income on the Statement of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Fund’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019:

Beginning value as of August 31, 2018		Purchases at Cost		Proceeds from Sales			Ending value as of August 31, 2019
$	75,906	$	3,237,014	$	(3,268,151	)	$	44,769

8. TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 was as follows:

	JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary Income	$	3,779,599
Total taxable distributions	$	3,779,599

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

As of August 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on atax-basis were as follows:

	JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
Undistributed ordinary income — net	$	424,309
Total undistributed earnings	$	424,309
Capital loss carryforwards:
Perpetual Short-Term	$	(24,957	)
Unrealized gains (losses) — net	$	1,362,694
Total accumulated earnings (losses) net	$	1,762,046

As of August 31, 2019, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

	JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF
Tax Cost	$	123,946,385
Gross unrealized gain		13,144,626
Gross unrealized loss		(8,096,566	)
Net unrealized gains (losses)	$	5,048,060

The difference between GAAP-basis andtax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales.

The Fund reclassed $1,622,633 from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending August 31, 2019. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Fund and result primarily from redemptions in-kind.

GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current year and prior tax year) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax year remains subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

9. OTHER RISKS

The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Index Risk — JUST Capital Foundation, Inc. (the “Index Provider”) constructs the Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology. The Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. In addition, because the Fund is not “actively” managed, unless a specific security is removed from its Index, the Fund generally would not sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Index. The Fund also does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. Therefore, the Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or to lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. The Index Provider relies on third party data it believes to be reliable in constructing the Index, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of such third party data. The Index is new and has a limited performance history. Errors in index data, index computation or the construction of the Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, neither the Fund, the

22

GOLDMAN SACHS JUST U.S. LARGE CAP EQUITY ETF

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

Investment Adviser, the Calculation Agent nor the Index Provider can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Trading Risk — The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of the Fund’s Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

Tracking Error Risk — Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of its Index. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of its Index for a number of reasons. Tracking error may occur because of transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of cash, differences in accrual of dividends, changes to its Index or the need to meet new or existing regulatory requirements. Unlike the Fund, the returns of its Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, including the trading costs associated with implementing changes to the portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2019,and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2019and for the period June 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2018, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year endedAugust 31, 2019,and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2019and for the period June 7, 2018 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2018in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Months ended 8/31/2019  (Unaudited)

As a shareholder you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Shares of the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares of the Fund.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from March 1, 2019 and held for the six months ended August 31, 2019, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (or less where indicated).

Actual Expenses— The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six months. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes— The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical 5% return	$	1,000	$	1,024.20	+	$	1.02

+ Hypothetical expenses are based on the Fund’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.

* The Expenses for the Fund are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 31, 2019. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year.

The annualized net expense ratio for the period is as follows:

INVESTMENT PROCESS

Goldman Sachs Motif ETFs

Principal Investment Strategies

The investment objective of each of the Goldman Sachs Motif Data-Driven World ETF, the Goldman Sachs Motif Finance Reimagined ETF, the Goldman Sachs Motif Human Evolution ETF, the Goldman Sachs Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF and the Goldman Sachs Motif New Age Consumer ETF (each, a “Fund”), is to seek to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective underlying index (each, an “Index”).

Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in its Index, in depositary receipts representing securities included in its Index and in underlying stocks in respect of depositary receipts included in its Index.Given each Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track its underlying index, the Funds do not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors.

Each Index is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities of companies located across developed and emerging markets worldwide, listed and traded on major exchanges in certain developed markets, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S. In addition, company and stock screens are applied to set minimum liquidity and investability requirements for stocks in the eligible universe (“Index Universe”).

Motif Capital Management, Inc. (the “Index Provider”) determines the components of each Index based on that Index’s exposure to certain Themes (i.e., the Data-Driven World Theme, the Finance Reimagined Theme, the Human Evolution Theme, the Manufacturing Revolution Theme and the New Age Consumer Theme), as well as relatedSub-Themes, and in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves five steps.

Step 1

In the first step, a quantitative measurement is made of the exposure of companies in each Index Universe to eachSub-Theme(“Sub-Theme Thematic Beta”).

For the Digitization of FinanceSub-Theme and the Asset Management MakeoverSub-Theme within the Motif Finance Reimagined Index, and allSub-Themes within the Motif New Age Consumer Index:

To calculate aSub-Theme Thematic Beta, the Index Provider applies automated semantic search algorithms to multiple regulatory filings filed with the applicable regulators or major stock exchanges in certain developed markets to score the relevance of aSub-Theme to a company. Each regulatory filing is scored for the relevance of theSub-Theme by applying an automated semantic search algorithm. This algorithm assigns a score to the regulatory filing based on the topic, document length, and number of mentions of the topic, among other factors. Regulatory filings scoring above a fixed theme relevance threshold are then mapped, if possible, to a company. For each company that has a total market capitalization of at least $500,000,000 in U.S. dollars, a stock with an average daily trading volume over the most recent30-day period (“ADTV”) of at least $1,000,000 in U.S. dollars and at least 50 days of historical returns data over the most recent90-day period, the company’s reported revenue streams are examined to determine whether each revenue stream is relevant to theSub-Theme. The company’sSub-Theme Thematic Beta is equal to the sum of all revenue streams of such company that are theme-relevant divided by the company’s total revenue.

For all otherSub-Themes within each Index:

To calculate aSub-Theme Thematic Beta, the Index Provider applies automated semantic search algorithms to multiple datasets and documents to score the relevance of aSub-Theme to a company. The datasets and documents used include one or more of (1) regulatory filings filed with the applicable regulators or major stock exchanges in certain developed markets, (2) academic journals, and (3) patent filings (the “Search Corpus”). The Search Corpus for the Motif Human Evolution Index also includes clinical trial data. Each dataset and document in the Search Corpus is scored for the relevance of theSub-Theme by applying an automated semantic search algorithm. This algorithm assigns a score to the dataset or document based on the topic, document length, and number of mentions of the topic, among other factors. Datasets and documents with anon-zero score are then mapped, if possible, to a company. Multiple entries within a type of Search Corpus for each company are then combined to make a single score. This results in up to three (or four, in the case of the Motif Human Evolution Index) quantitative measurements of the relevance of theSub-Theme to a company: the “Filing Search Beta,” sourced from the regulatory filings; the “Academic Beta,”

INVESTMENT PROCESS

sourced from academic journals; and the “Patent Beta,” sourced from patent filings. The three (or four) quantitative measurements are then combined to give a company an overallSub-Theme Thematic Beta. For the Motif Human Evolution Index, the “Clinical Trial Beta,” sourced from clinical trial data, is also combined to calculate a company’sSub-Theme Thematic Beta.

Step 2

In the second step, a company’sSub-Theme Thematic Betas for allSub-Themes are combined to give that company a single Thematic Beta. Each respective Index Universe consists of all companies with anon-zero applicable Thematic Beta.

Step 3

In the third step, each company in the Index Universe is mapped, if possible, to one or more common equity securities listed on major stock exchanges in certain developed markets. If no relevant security is found, the company is removed from the Index Universe.

Step 4

In the fourth step, liquidity, investability and/or theme relevance screens are applied to the Index Universe. Stocks of companies with an applicable Thematic Beta below a fixed threshold are removed from the Index Universe. Additionally, for allSub-Themes within each Index except the Digitization of FinanceSub-Theme and the Asset Management MakeoverSub-Theme within the Motif Finance Reimagined Index, and allSub-Themes within the Motif New Age Consumer Index, stocks of companies with any of the following characteristics are removed from the Index Universe:

• An ADTV of less than $1,000,000 in U.S. dollars;

• A total market capitalization of less than $500,000,000 in U.S. dollars; or

• Less than 50 days of historical returns data over the most recent90-day period;

• A Thematic Beta below a fixed threshold.

All remaining stocks are included in the Index. In addition, if the size of the remaining Index Universe is greater than 120 stocks, the final Index Universe is reduced to 120 stocks based on a function of the applicable Thematic Beta, market variables and the weight of the stock from the previous rebalancing, if any.

Step 5

In the fifth step, stocks are weighted according to a function of a company’s market capitalization and applicable Thematic Beta. A minimum weight of 0.1% and a maximum weight of the lesser of 5% or the ADTV of such stock multiplied by 10^-9 (for example, an ADTV of $10 million would correspond to a maximum weight of 1%) are applied to each stock to reduce concentration in individual securities and increase diversification of the Index.

Each Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly on the third Friday of each February, May, August and November.

At the end of the Reporting Period, i.e., the period ended August 31, 2019, we believed that each of the Motif ETFs presented an attractive long-term opportunity, as their respective underlying secular growth Themes andSub-Themes were still in the early innings of their potential value. Although the growth style of these Themes andSub-Themes and their exposure to emerging markets may lead to short-term volatility, we remained confident overall in their long-term strength.

Goldman Sachs Motif Data-Driven World ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Motif Data-Driven World ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Motif Data-Driven World Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the period from its inception on March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 2.65% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 2.77% based on market price. The Index returned 2.87% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $50.10 per share on March 1, 2019 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $51.34 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $51.40 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to deliver exposure to companies with common equity securities listed on exchanges in certain developed markets that may benefit from the ongoing rapid increase in electronically recorded data in the world and its impact on the lifecycle of data delivery and processing (the “Data-Driven World Theme”). This lifecycle includes the recording, transmission, storage and processing, securing and analysis of data. The focus of the Index is to identify and weight companies that originate data solutions, as well as companies that deploy data solutions to solve business problems. The Data-Driven World Theme is separated into fivesub-themes (each a“Sub-Theme,” and collectively, the“Sub-Themes”), each of which relates to a part of the data lifecycle.Given the Fund’s investment objective ofattempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund generated positive absolute returns but modestly underperformed the Index, as measured by NAV. Among the underlyingSub-Themes, the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence added most to the Index’s results. Big Data and Data Infrastructure also contributed positively, albeit to a lesser extent. The Internet of ThingsSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of the Internet of Things, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to the collection of consumer and industrial network-connected devices beyond traditional appliances. The Artificial IntelligenceSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of artificial intelligence, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to the ability of a machine to perform cognitive tasks typically associated with human brains, such as perception, reasoning, learning, interacting with the environment and problem solving. The Big DataSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of big data technologies. For the purposes of the Index, big data refers to the set of software technologies associated with the storage, processing and analytics of large-scale structured and unstructured data. The Data InfrastructureSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the expansion in physical infrastructure to transmit and store data. For the purposes of the Index, data infrastructure refers to the range of hardware components needed for transmission and storage of large quantities of data, such as routers and switches, wired and wireless transmission networks, and high-density storage.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

The CybersecuritySub-Theme detracted from the Index’s results. The CybersecuritySub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the need to secure data in an online world. For the purposes of the Index, cybersecurity refers to the practice of ensuring the integrity, confidentiality and availability of information.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A During the Reporting Period, positions in U.S.-based technology company Microsoft, U.S. semiconductor maker Qualcomm and U.S. software company MongoDB added most to the Index’s results (3.35%, 1.89% and 0.96% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Positions in China-based Internet-related services and products and artificial intelligence specialist Baidu; U.S.-based software company Cloudera; and U.S. cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks detracted most from the Index’s results during the Reporting Period (1.51%, 0.31% and 1.39% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively).

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s regional positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

Region Name	Fund2			Index
North America		71.7	%		71.6	%

GOLDMAN SACHS MOTIF DATA-DRIVEN WORLD ETF

Performance Summary

August 31, 2019

The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2019, of a $10,000 investment made on March 1, 2019 (commencement of operations) in Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s underlying index, the Goldman Sachs Motif Data-Driven World Index is shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. In addition to the performance of constituents of the underlying index, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and creation and redemption in-kind transactions.The returns set forth below represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s NAV and investment return may fluctuate. These fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares to be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted below.

Goldman Sachs Motif Data-Driven World ETF’s Lifetime Performance

Performance of a $10,000 Investment, with distributions reinvested, from March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.

Average Annual Total Return through August 31, 2019*	Since Inception
Shares based on NAV (Commenced March 1, 2019)	2.65%
Shares based on Market Price (Commenced March 1, 2019)	2.77%
Motif Data-Driven World Index	2.87%

* Total return for periods of less than one year represents cumulative total return. Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the period from its inception on March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 9.77% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 9.91% based on market price. The Index returned 10.01% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $50.74 per share on March 1, 2019 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $55.59 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $55.64 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to deliver exposure to companies with common equity securities listed on exchanges in certain developed markets that may benefit from the ongoing structural changes in the support and delivery of financial services (the “Finance Reimagined Theme”). These structural changes include the impact of rapid technological change on the industry, including the effects of the development of blockchain technology, and the split in the asset management industry toward very low and high cost investment strategies. The Finance Reimagined Theme is separated into threesub-themes (each a“Sub-Theme,” and collectively, the“Sub-Themes”), each of which relates to a part of the data lifecycle.Given the Fund’s investmentobjective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund doesnot follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund recorded positive absolute returns but underperformed the Index, as measured by NAV. All of the underlyingSub-Themes—Digitization of Finance, Asset Management Makeover and Blockchain—contributed positively to the Index’s results. The Digitization of FinanceSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the digitization of traditional financial services, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to the impact of technological changes on the support and delivery of traditional financial services, such as payments, lending and insurance. The Asset Management MakeoverSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the bifurcation in strategies in the asset management industry. For the purposes of the Index, asset management makeover refers to the movement of assets into low cost, often passive investments such as exchange-traded funds and index funds, and high cost, often complex investments such as private equity and hedge funds. The BlockchainSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of blockchain technology, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to the technology underlying distributed ledgers, applicable to payments, currencies and to other fields and industries that depend on a trusted intermediary.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A During the Reporting Period, positions in U.S. payment processors Mastercard and Visa, as well as Brazilian information technology service management company PagSeguro Digital, bolstered the Index’s results most

(4.98%, 4.13% and 1.07% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Positions in Square, a U.S.-based mobile payment company; Green Dot, a U.S. financial technology and bank holding company; and Overstock.com, a U.S. Internet retailer, detracted most from the Index’s results during the Reporting Period (2.39%, 0.00%¹ and 0.27% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively).

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Goldman Sachs Motif Human Evolution ETF’s Lifetime Performance

Performance of a $10,000 Investment, with distributions reinvested, from March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019.

Average Annual Total Return through August 31, 2019*	Since Inception
Shares based on NAV (Commenced March 1, 2019)	-0.69%
Shares based on Market Price (Commenced March 1, 2019)	-0.47%
Motif Human Evolution Index	-0.44%

* Total return for periods of less than one year represents cumulative total return. Total returns are calculated assuming purchase of a share at the market price or NAV on the first day and sale of a share at the market price or NAV on the last day of each period reported. The Total Returns based on NAV and Market Price assume the reinvestment of dividends and do not reflect brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares, which if included would lower the performance shown above. The NAV used in the Total Return calculation assumes all management fees incurred by the Fund. Market Price returns are based upon the last trade as of 4:00pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The first day of secondary market trading is typically several days after the date on which the Fund commenced investment operations; therefore, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the period from inception of investment operations to the first day of secondary market trading to calculate the Market Price returns. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized.

Goldman Sachs Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Motif Manufacturing Revolution Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the period from its inception on March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned-2.52% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and-2.30% based on market price. The Index returned-2.37% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $49.70 per share on March 1, 2019 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $48.11 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $48.22 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to deliver exposure to companies with common equity securities listed on exchanges in certain developed markets that may benefit from the ongoing technology-driven transformation of the manufacturing industry (the “Manufacturing Revolution Theme”). This transformation includes the use of new materials and energy sources to supply the manufacturing process, the application of new methods and processes, and the manufacture of new products. The focus of the Index is to identify and weight companies that are originating new solutions for manufacturing, as well as companies that are deploying new solutions to solve business problems. The Manufacturing Revolution Theme is separated into fivesub-themes (each a“Sub-Theme,” and collectively, the“Sub-Themes”), each of which relates to a part of the data lifecycle.Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track the Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund generated negative absolute returns that underperformed the Index, as measured by NAV. Among underlyingSub-Themes, Future Mobility and 3D Printing detracted most from the Index’s results. Robotics also hampered the Index’s performance, albeit to a lesser extent. The Future MobilitySub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of new methods of mobility. For the purposes of the Index, future mobility refers to road vehicles, including automobiles and trucks that apply one or both of electrification and partially or fully autonomous driving capabilities. The 3D PrintingSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of 3D printing and its application in manufacturing. For the purposes of the Index, 3D printing refers to the additive process of manufacturing a three-dimensional object from a digital design. The RoboticsSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the increased sophistication of robotics used in the manufacturing process. For the purposes of the Index, robotics refers to the ability of a machine to perform physical tasks that previously either were not possible or required a human.

The DronesSub-Theme and the Clean EnergySub-Theme contributed positively to the Index’s results during the Reporting Period. The DronesSub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of drones, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to aerial, land orsea-based unmanned vehicles, either remotely operated or

15

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

autonomous, used in military, consumer or industrial applications. The Clean EnergySub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of clean energy sources. For the purposes of the Index, clean energy refers to energy from renewable resources, such as solar, wind and biofuel, as well as battery technology needed for the storage of intermittent power sources.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A During the Reporting Period, the Index benefited most from positions in Israel-based SolarEdge Technologies, a provider of power optimizer, solar inverter and monitoring products for photovoltaic arrays; Japan-based Hitachi Chemical Company, which manufactures a wide range of chemical products for semiconductors, liquid crystal displays, industrial materials and processed synthetic resins; and U.S.-based SunPower, a designer and manufacturer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and solar panels (0.96%, 0.79% and 0.29% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Positions in Chinese automobile maker NIO, U.S. automotive and energy company Tesla and U.S.-based printer manufacturer 3D Systems detracted most from the Index’s results during the Reporting Period (0.70%, 2.55% and 0.80% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively).

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s regional positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period?¹

Region Name	Fund2			Index
North America		55.3	%		55.3	%
Developed Europe		25.9			25.9

¹ The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. The Market Price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate and, at the time of sale, shares may be worth more or less than the original investment or the Fund’s then current net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV is the market value of one share of the Fund. This amount is derived by dividing the total value of all the securities in the Fund’s portfolio, plus other assets, less any liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Fund shares are not individually redeemable and are issued and redeemed by the Fund at their NAV only in large, specified blocks of shares called creation units.

Investment Objective

The Goldman Sachs Motif New Age Consumer ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Motif New Age Consumer Index (the “Index”).

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the period from its inception on March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).

Q How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund returned 3.83% based on net asset value (“NAV”) and 4.03% based on market price. The Index returned 4.09% during the same period.

The Fund had a NAV of $50.83 per share on March 1, 2019 and ended the Reporting Period with a NAV of $52.74 per share. The Fund’s market price on August 31, 2019 was $52.83 per share.

Q What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

A The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Index. The Fund’s performance reflects Fund expenses, including management fees and brokerage expenses. The Fund’s relative performance also reflects the impact of any cash held in the Fund as well as any other differences between the Fund’s holdings and the constituents of the Index. The Index is unmanaged, and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses, which would reduce returns.

The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that was developed to deliver exposure to companies with common equity securities listed on exchanges in certain developed markets that may benefit from the ongoing structural shifts in the consumer market due to changes in demographics, technology and preferences (the “New Age Consumer Theme”). The focus of the Index is to identify and weight companies that are originating and monetizing new consumer products, as well as those creating and supporting the infrastructure to produce them. The New Age Consumer Theme is separated into seven sub-themes (each a “Sub-Theme,” and collectively, the “Sub-Themes”), each of which relates to a part of the data lifecycle.Given the Fund’sinvestment objective of attempting to track the Index, theFund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. The Fund does not follow a strategy of seeking to outperform the Index.

During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted positive absolute returns but underperformed the Index, as measured by NAV. Among underlying Sub-Themes, Social Media, Health and Wellness, and Online Gaming added most to the Index’s returns. The Online Music and Video, E-commerce, and Experiences over Goods Sub-Themes also contributed positively, albeit to a lesser extent. The Social Media Sub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the development of social media, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to online platforms that connect people and allow members to interact with one another. The Health and Wellness Sub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from consumer interest in health and wellness, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to consumer health-related goods and services outside of traditional health care (e.g., relating to nutrition, exercise and health tracking). The Online Gaming Sub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the popularity of online gaming, which for the purposes of the Index, refers to a game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet, including video games and games that may have traditionally been delivered in person, such as betting. The Online Music and Video Sub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from demand for music and video delivered over the Internet. For the purposes of the Index, online music and video refers to the digital distribution of music and video. The E-commerce Sub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the expansion of e-commerce, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to the purchase and delivery of goods and services over the Internet. The Experiences over Goods Sub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from demand

19

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

by consumers for experiences relative to goods. For the purposes of the Index, experiences over goods refers to demand for experiences, and the goods that relate to those experiences, relative to the demand for physical goods unrelated to those experiences.

The Evolution of Education Sub-Theme detracted from the Index’s results during the Reporting Period. The Evolution of Education Sub-Theme represents companies that may benefit from the evolution of education, which, for the purposes of the Index, refers to the delivery of educational materials over the Internet, such as interactive and non-interactive multimedia content, the streaming of lectures and the delivery of teaching and tutoring services online, and for-profit education services in emerging markets.

Q Which individual stock positions contributed the most to the Index’s relative returns during the Reporting Period, and which detracted most?

A During the Reporting Period, the Index was helped most by positions in Roku, a U.S. maker of online media players; Li Ning, a China-based manufacturer of athletic shoes and sporting goods; and Snap, a U.S. technology and camera company (1.52%, 0.83% and 1.02% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively). Positions in Sina Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website; 2U, a U.S. educational technology company; and Farfetch, a U.K.-based online luxury fashion retailer, detracted most from the Index’s results during the Reporting Period (0.85%, 0.00%¹ and 0.33% of Fund net assets as of August 31, 2019, respectively).

Q How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not invest in derivatives or similar instruments. The Fund does not employ derivatives as a source of alpha generation, although it may use them to equitize excess cash.

Q What was the Fund’s regional positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period?²

Region Name	Fund3			Index
North America		50.7	%		50.7	%
Emerging Markets		24.4			24.4
Developed Europe		14.1			14.1
Developed Asia Pacific		10.3			10.3

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2019

1. ORGANIZATION

Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), consisting of multiple series. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2009. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”) along with their respective diversification status under the Act:

Fund	Diversification Classification
Goldman Sachs Motif Data-Driven World ETF (“Motif Data-Driven World ETF”)*	Diversified
Goldman Sachs Motif Finance Reimagined ETF (“Motif Finance Reimagined ETF”)*	Diversified
Goldman Sachs Motif Human Evolution ETF (“Motif Human Evolution ETF”)*	Diversified
Goldman Sachs Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF (“Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF”)*	Diversified
Goldman Sachs Motif New Age Consumer ETF (“Motif New Age Consumer ETF”)*	Diversified

* Commencement of operations on March 1, 2019.

The investment objective of each Fund is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective Index.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (each, an “Agreement”) with the Trust. Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). The market price for the Funds’ shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem shares at their respective NAV only in blocks of a specified number of shares, or multiples thereof, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed principallyin-kind for a basket of securities and a cash amount, with respect to the Motif Data-Driven World ETF, Motif Finance Reimagined ETF, Motif Human Evolution ETF, Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF and Motif New Age Consumer ETF. Shares generally trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only those that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) may do business directly with the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

A.  Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily NAV calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

46

GOLDMAN SACHS MOTIFS ETFS

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

C.  Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by a Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/orpro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For each fund, income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as eithershort-term orlong-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

E.  Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

A.  Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Funds operate under a unitary management fee structure. Under the unitary fee structure, GSAM is responsible for paying substantially all the expenses of each such 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, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. As the Funds directly pay fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, the management fee collected by GSAM will be reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Funds to the independent Trustees.

For the period ended August 31, 2019, unitary management fees with GSAM were 0.50% for each Fund.

5. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Funds only in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day (as defined in the Statement of Additional Information), of an order in proper form. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (each an “Authorized Participant”). An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; or (2) a Depository Trust Company participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor. Retail investors will typically not qualify as an Authorized Participant or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units.

Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market at market prices with the assistance of a broker and may be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Fixed creation and redemption transaction fees are imposed in connection with creations and redemptions.

Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (e.g. taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from sale of shares” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

7. SECURITIES LENDING

The Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds’ master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements, and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of August 31, 2019, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

As of August 31, 2019, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

	Motif Data- Driven World ETF			Motif Finance Reimagined ETF			Motif Human Evolution ETF			Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF			Motif New Age Consumer ETF
Tax Cost	$	10,330,283		$	10,846,318		$	9,195,896		$	6,447,862		$	5,346,202
Gross unrealized gain		671,700			953,557			443,636			298,110			599,579
Gross unrealized loss		(646,208	)		(405,571	)		(534,098	)		(464,708	)		(405,384	)
Net unrealized gains (losses)	$	25,492		$	547,986		$	(90,462	)	$	(166,598	)	$	194,195

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current year) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax year remains subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

9. OTHER RISKS

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.

Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.

Index Risk — Motif Capital Management, Inc. (the “Index Provider”) constructs each Fund’s Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology. A Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. In addition, because the Funds are not “actively” managed, unless a specific security is removed from an Index, a Fund generally would not sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on a Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Index. A Fund also does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including declining markets. Therefore, a Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market

54

GOLDMAN SACHS MOTIFS ETFS

9. OTHER RISKS (continued)

opportunities or to lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. The Index Provider relies on third party data it believes to be reliable in constructing each Index, but it does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of such third party data. Errors in index data, index computation or the construction of an Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the applicable Fund and its shareholders. In addition, neither a Fund, the Investment Adviser, the Calculation Agent nor the Index Provider can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Market Trading Risk — Each Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The Investment Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities of a Fund’s Index trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

Sector Risk — To the extent a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were diversified across different sectors, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that sector, such as: adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other developments.

Tracking Error Risk — Tracking error is the divergence of a Fund’s performance from that of its Index. The performance of a Fund may diverge from that of its Index for a number of reasons. Tracking error may occur because of transaction costs, a Fund’s holding of cash, differences in accrual of dividends, changes to its Index or the need to meet new or existing regulatory requirements. Unlike a Fund, the returns of an Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses, including the trading costs associated with implementing changes to the portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

10. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Motif Data-Driven World ETF, Goldman Sachs Motif Finance Reimagined ETF, Goldman Sachs Motif Human Evolution ETF, Goldman Sachs Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF, and Goldman Sachs Motif New Age Consumer ETF (five of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs ETF Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period March 1, 2019 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2019, and the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for the period March 1, 2019 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expenses — Six Months ended 8/31/2019 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Shares of the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange-traded funds. This example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares of the Fund.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from March 1, 2019 and held for the six months ended August 31, 2019, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (or less where indicated).

ActualExpenses — The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six months. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HypotheticalExampleforComparisonPurposes — The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* The Fund commenced operations on March 1, 2019. Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the ending value for the period, multiplied by 184/365, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year (to reflect the Fund’s commencement of operation).

** Expenses for the Fund are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended August 31, 2019. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratio for the period is as follows:

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

Background

The Goldman Sachs Motif Data-Driven World ETF, Goldman Sachs Motif Finance Reimagined ETF, Goldman Sachs Motif Human Evolution ETF, Goldman Sachs Motif Manufacturing Revolution ETF and Goldman Sachs Motif New Age Consumer ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are newly-organized investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on March 7, 2019. At a meeting held on September20-21, 2018 (the “Meeting”) in connection with the Funds’ organization, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees present who are not parties to the Funds’ investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”) approved the Management Agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.

At the Meeting, the Trustees reviewed the Management Agreement with respect to the Funds, including information regarding the terms of the Management Agreement; the nature, extent and quality of the Investment Adviser’s anticipated services; the fees and expenses to be paid by each Fund; a comparison of each Fund’s proposed management fee and anticipated expenses with those paid by other similar exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”); potential benefits to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds; and potential benefits to be derived by the Funds from their relationship with the Investment Adviser. Various information was also provided at prior meetings at which each Fund was discussed.

In connection with the Meeting, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval of registered fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Meeting, the Trustees relied upon information included in a presentation made by the Investment Adviser and information received at prior Board meetings, as well as on their knowledge of the Investment Adviser resulting from their meetings and other interactions over time.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement

As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services andnon-advisory services that would be provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers would operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees considered that under the Management Agreement, each Fund pays a single management fee to the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser pays all of such Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding payments under such Fund’s12b-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 Trustees also considered information about each Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies and other characteristics. In particular, they noted that each Fund would operate as a passively-managed ETF that would seek to track an index developed, maintained and calculated by third-party service providers. The Trustees noted the experience and capabilities of the key personnel of the Investment Adviser who would provide services to the Funds. In particular, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive experience in managing quantitative investment strategies. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds. They also considered that although the Funds were new (and therefore had no performance data to evaluate), the Investment Adviser has committed substantial financial and operational resources to ETFs and has extensive experience managing other types of registered investment companies. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

Unitary Fee Structure and Profitability

The Trustees considered the contractual management fee rate payable by each Fund, noting that the Management Agreement provides for a unitary fee structure, pursuant to which each Fund pays a single management fee to the Investment Adviser and the Investment Adviser then pays all of the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses. In addition, the Trustees considered information on the services to be rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which would include both advisory and administrative services directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as ETFs. The Trustees noted that license fees would be payable by the Investment Adviser to Motif Capital Management, Inc. for the use of its indices and certain trademarks. The Trustees also considered information provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of the Funds’ unitary management fee rates and projected expense ratios were prepared by the Investment

59

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)

Adviser and a third-party provider of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing each Fund’s unitary management fee rate and projected expense ratio to those of relevant peer funds. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses to be paid by the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser’s management of the Funds likely would benefit the Funds and their shareholders.

In addition, the Trustees recognized that there was not yet profitability data to evaluate for the Funds, but considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that (i) such data would be provided after the Funds commenced operations, and (ii) the Funds were not expected to be profitable to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates initially.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the Funds would not have management fee breakpoints. The Trustees considered the Funds’ projected asset levels and information comparing the fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other ETFs in the Funds’ peer groups.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits expected to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including: (a) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (d) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”).

Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders

The Trustees also noted that the Funds are expected to receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; and (c) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels.

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the unitary management fee to be paid by each Fund was reasonable in light of the services to be provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the engagement of the Investment Adviser likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved until September 21, 2020.
