MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Access Fixed Income ETFs
The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the fixed income market and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Access Fixed Income ETFs (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 28, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided for the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF, an actively managed ETF, explaining its performance relative to its benchmark during the Reporting Period. A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2022.
Market and Economic Review
• | | Government and non-government bonds broadly recorded negative returns during the Reporting Period, with emerging markets debt and U.S. investment grade corporate bonds among the weakest performing fixed income sectors. |
• | | Inflation rose in both developed and emerging economies, driven by supply-and-demand imbalances, higher energy prices and the effects of economic reopening amid the persistent overhangs of the COVID-19 pandemic. Inflation surged to new multi-decade highs in February 2022, with energy and commodity prices in particular jumping in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. |
• | | Citing inflation and strong labor data, developed markets’ central banks delivered or hinted at sooner than previously consensus expected monetary policy normalization. |
• | | In the U.S., the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) began scaling back its asset purchase program and then accelerated the pace of its tapering. U.S. policymakers additionally hinted they might raise interest rates in March 2022 in the Fed’s first federal funds rate increase since the end of 2018. |
• | | Government bond yields generally rose during the Reporting Period in anticipation of central bank action, though investors began pricing in less cumulative monetary policy tightening following escalation of the Russia/Ukraine conflict at the end of February 2022. |
Fund Changes and Highlights
Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF
• | | The Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF (the “Fund”) launched on February 15, 2022. |
| • | | The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets USD Bond Index (the “Index”). |
| • | | The Index employs a transparent process designed to identify an investable universe, then eliminates a subset of issuers with deteriorating fundamentals to potentially offer improved exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets bonds. |
| • | | Excluding a subset of issuers with deteriorating fundamentals, i.e., worsening Governance, Import Coverage Ratio and Inflation, can help reduce exposure to issuers more likely to underperform and experience higher volatility. This approach can help deliver smoother performance over the course of a market cycle. |
• | | Effective February 17, 2022, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P., the Fund’s investment adviser, implemented a management fee waiver to achieve an effective net management fee rate of 0.00% as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund through at least February 17, 2023. |
1
MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF
• | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the FTSE Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, during the Reporting Period, driven primarily by duration and yield curve positioning, as well as by sector allocation positioning, which more than offset the positive contributions from security selection. |
| • | | The Fund had a longer duration than the FTSE Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, and yield curve positioning included longer maturities than the benchmark. As interest rates increased during the Reporting Period, this positioning hurt. |
| • | | Sector positioning included allocations to corporate credit and agency mortgage-backed securities, which detracted from relative results, as spreads, or yield differentials of these sectors to duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries, widened during the Reporting Period. |

1 | | The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, 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 Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. 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. |

| | Shares | | | -5.80 | % | | | -5.12 | % | | | -6.17 | % |
2 | | 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. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |
3 | | The Index was developed and is calculated and maintained 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”). FTSE is not affiliated with the Fund or GSAM. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by FTSE or any of its affiliates and FTSE makes no representation to any owner or prospective owner of the Fund regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Fund particularly, or the ability of the Fund to track the price and yield performance of the Index or the ability of the Index to track general bond market performance. FTSE’s only relationship to GSAM (“Licensee”) is the licensing of certain information, data, trademarks and trade names of FTSE or its affiliates. The Index is determined, composed and calculated by FTSE without regard to the Fund. FTSE has no obligation to take the needs of the owners or prospective owners of the Fund into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the Index. FTSE is not responsible for and has not participated in the determination of the prices and amount of the shares to be issued by the Fund or the timing of the issuance or sale of the shares to be issued by the Fund or in the determination or calculation of the equation by which the shares to be issued by the Fund are to be converted into cash. FTSE has no obligation or liability in connection with the administration, marketing or trading of the Fund. The Index Provider may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of the Index or the implementation of certain rules at its sole discretion. |
The Fund is newly incepted and does not have a substantial track record. The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com/ETFs to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

* | | Commencement of operations on February 15, 2022. |
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 1-5 Year Bond ETF, Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF, Access Treasury 0-1 Year ETF and Access U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”), and shares of the Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF, Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF and Access Ultra Short Bond ETF are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”). Market prices 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 generally for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash. 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.
101

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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.
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/or pro-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 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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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
102
GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS FIXED INCOME ETFS
|
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:
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 G7 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 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.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2022:

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.

|
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. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of February 28, 2022, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Tax Cost | | $ | 49,260,000 | | | $ | 213,710,503 | | | $ | 200,214,972 | | | $ | 19,823,401 | | | $ | 786,013,226 | | | $ | 2,318,529,823 | | | $ | 334,009,092 | | | $ | 471,018,053 | |

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is due to wash sales, and differences in tax treatment of market discount accretion and premium amortization, and inflation protected securities.
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 Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax year remains subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Floating and Variable Rate Obligations Risk — Floating rate and variable rate obligations are debt instruments issued by companies or other entities with interest rates that reset periodically (typically, daily, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually) in response to changes in the market rate of interest on which the interest rate is based. For floating and variable rate obligations, there may be a lag between an actual change in the underlying interest rate benchmark and the reset time for an interest payment of such an obligation, which could harm or benefit a Fund, depending on the interest rate environment or other circumstances. In a rising interest rate environment, for example, a floating or variable rate obligation that does not reset immediately would prevent a Fund from taking full advantage of rising interest rates in a timely manner. However, in a declining interest rate environment, a Fund may benefit from a lag due to an obligation’s interest rate payment not being immediately impacted by a decline in interest rates.
On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and ICE Benchmark Authority formally announced that certain LIBOR benchmarks will cease publication after December 31, 2021 while others will cease publication after June 30, 2023. The unavailability or replacement of LIBOR may affect the value, liquidity or return on certain Fund investments and may result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to a Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect a Fund’s performance and/or NAV.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or problems with registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is
111
GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS FIXED INCOME ETFS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2022 (Unaudited)
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent the Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact the Fund’s liquidity and performance. 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, or economically tied to, 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 of one or more issuers. When the 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 Investment Grade Corporate Bond 1-5 Years Index and FTSE Goldman Sachs US Broad Bond Market Index are new and have 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, 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
112

|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. 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 (except the Access Ultra Short Bond ETF) 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.
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.
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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Each Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, each Fund’s investment adviser, to administer the Program. Certain aspects of the Program rely on third parties to perform certain functions, including the provision of market data and application of models.
The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4); (4) for a Fund that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will generally be invested in highly liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”); and (5) periodic reporting to the Board of Trustees.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on February 3-4, 2022, GSAM provided a written report to the Board addressing the operation, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation, of the Program, including, as applicable, the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and any material changes to the Program, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”). Among other things, the annual report discussed: (1) the results of stress tests designed to assess liquidity under a hypothetical stressed scenario involving elevated redemptions; (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories; (3) the efficiency of the arbitrage function during the Reporting Period; and (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended 2/28/2022 (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.
Except with respect to the Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF, which commenced operations on February 15, 2022, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from September 1, 2021 and held for the entire six months ended February 28, 2022, which represents a period of 181 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS FIXED INCOME ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on February 15, 2022. At a meeting held on June 5-6, 2018 (the “Organizational 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. The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until September 30, 2022 by the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, at a meeting held on September 13, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting,” and together with the Organizational Meeting, the “Meetings”).
At the Meetings, 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 Meetings, 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 Meetings, the Trustees relied upon information included in a presentation made by the Investment Adviser at the Meetings 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 and non-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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Fund would operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers would operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, 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’s 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings and litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. The 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 a passively-managed ETF that seeks to track an index owned and calculated by a third-party service provider using concepts developed with the Investment Adviser. 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 also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. 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 unitary 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 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

GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS FIXED INCOME ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
be rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which would include both advisory and non-advisory services directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as an ETF. In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to implement a fee waiver for the Fund. The Trustees noted that a license fee would be payable by the Investment Adviser to FTSE Fixed Income LLC for the use of its index 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 Fund’s 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 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 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, similar to many other ETFs, 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. The Trustees further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining the Fund’s unitary management fee rate.
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 as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) 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 (e) 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 due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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; (d) the Fund’s access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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 and continued until September 30, 2022.

Background
The Goldman Sachs Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Goldman Sachs Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF, Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate 1-5 Year Bond ETF, Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF, Goldman Sachs Access Treasury 0-1 Year ETF, Goldman Sachs Access U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF and Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until September 30, 2022 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on September 13, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held one meeting over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2020. At this Committee meeting, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its registered fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), as provided by a third-party fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests, to the extent that a Fund had been existence for at least one year; |
| (c) | | the terms of the Management Agreement entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (d) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (e) | | with respect to the investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (f) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers; |
| (g) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (h) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (i) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; |

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other registered funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of registered fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
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 provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are 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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Funds operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 fee to the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser pays each Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding payments under each 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. The Trustees also considered information about each Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies and other characteristics. In particular, they noted that the Funds are passively-managed ETFs that seek to track indices developed and maintained by a third-party service provider, except for the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF, which is 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 provide services to the Funds. In particular, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive experience in managing fixed income investment strategies and portfolios that invest in short term U.S. Treasury securities. They also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. 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.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using data, rankings and/or ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2021, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside

Data Provider as of June 30, 2021. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one- and three-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. As part of this review, they reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing each Fund’s performance to that of its respective index (except for the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF), a comparable market capitalization-weighted reference index, and/or a composite of separate accounts with comparable investment strategies, as applicable. The Trustees observed that the investment performance of each passively-managed Fund was consistent with the investment objective of tracking its respective index. They also noted that the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF’s investment performance was consistent with its investment objective of seeking to provide current income with preservation of capital.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
Unitary Fee Structure and Profitability
The Trustees considered the unitary 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 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 rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and non-advisory services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as ETFs.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement management fee waivers for the Goldman Sachs Access Treasury 0-1 Year ETF and Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF. The Trustees noted that license fees would be payable by the Investment Adviser to FTSE Fixed Income LLC for the use of its indices (except with respect to the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF). The Trustees also considered information previously provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of each Fund’s fee rate and expense ratio were prepared by the Investment Adviser and certain third-party providers of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing each Fund’s management fee rate and net 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 paid by the Funds.
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had previously received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees noted that the Funds, similar to many other ETFs, do not have management fee breakpoints. They considered information previously provided regarding each Fund’s fee structure, the amount of assets in each Fund, each Fund’s recent creation and redemption activity, and the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining each Fund’s unitary management fee rate.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived (or expected to be derived) by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) 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 (e) 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. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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 (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; (e) 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 fee paid by each Fund was reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement with respect to each Fund should be approved and continued until September 30, 2022.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Equity ETFs
The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the U.S., international and emerging markets equity markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Equity ETFs (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 28, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2022.
Market and Economic Review
U.S. Equities
• | | Overall, U.S. equities struggled during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of -2.62%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of -4.24%. |
• | | Persistent supply-chain disruptions and inflationary pressures remained the common themes during the Reporting Period, while the biggest headlines were the COVID-19 variants and the start of the yet ongoing Russia/Ukraine war. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2021, the S&P 500 Index saw its first decline since January 2021 and its worst month since September 2020. Focus centered around U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tapering, complex legislative negotiations, persistent supply-chain disruptions, spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant, global risk events, rising energy costs and the rapid uptick in U.S. Treasury yields. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the S&P 500 Index increased in October, fell in November and increased in December. |
| • | | The third quarter corporate earnings season propelled the U.S. equity market rally in October, with retail earnings upside surprises and hints of easing supply-chain constraints supporting the market’s upward trajectory into early November. |
| • | | Later in November, a $1 trillion infrastructure bill was signed into law, and Fed Chair Powell was appointed for a second term, bringing clarity to the Fed’s leadership. However, renewed concerns around COVID-19 developments pressured U.S. equities, with the emergence of the more contagious Omicron variant triggering a sell-off. Persistently high inflation also weighed on market sentiment. |
| • | | In December, the S&P 500 Index rebounded despite record COVID-19 case counts in many population centers in the U.S., as studies showed the variant was generally accompanied by milder symptoms than previous variants. Positive seasonality and the so-called “Santa Rally” also lifted the S&P 500 Index towards the end of the month. (A Santa rally refers a sustained increase in the stock market that occurs in the last week of December through the first two trading days in January.) The Fed walked back its use of “transitory” in describing the inflationary environment and announced it would double its pace of asset purchase tapering and indicated potential interest rate hikes in 2022. |
• | | The S&P 500 Index fell in January and February 2022, suffering its biggest pullback since March 2020 amid reverberations surrounding the Fed’s hawkish policy pivot, the velocity and magnitude of the accompanying U.S. Treasury yield increase, the long-standing valuation concerns around some of the riskier pockets of the market, the remaining inflation overhang and the ramping of geopolitical tensions caused by the Russia/Ukraine war. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) |
• | | During the Reporting Period overall, the U.S. equity market saw a sharp reversal of the growth/value dynamic amid a backdrop of rising U.S. Treasury yields and expectations of multiple interest rate hikes by the Fed. Value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks during the Reporting Period. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period were energy, consumer staples and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were communication services, information technology and consumer discretionary. |
International Equities
• | | Representing the developed international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) returned -6.78% for the Reporting Period, underperforming the U.S. equity market. |
1
MARKET REVIEW
• | | As the Reporting Period began, international equity markets receded in September 2021, due primarily to the U.S. Fed’s announcements around tapering of its monthly asset purchase plans and increases in interest rates. |
| • | | The decline was further aggravated by halts in global manufacturing activities due to supply-chain disruptions and semiconductor shortages as well as power cuts and energy crises around the world. |
| • | | Regulations imposed by the Chinese government on certain key sectors led to increased investor pessimism, worsened by Evergrande Group’s debt crisis and spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the MSCI EAFE Index increased in October, fell in November and rose in December. |
| • | | Many of the concerns that dominated the international equity markets in September ebbed somewhat in October, supported in Europe and the U.K. particularly by favorable third calendar quarter corporate earnings reports. |
| • | | In November, international equity markets suffered over fears of the new COVID-19 Omicron variant’s potential impact. Travel restrictions were re-imposed to curtail the variant’s spread, and lockdown measures were reimposed in Europe. Japan’s equity market fell due to both inflation and supply-chain issues as well as concerns about the Omicron variant. |
��
| • | | In December, the initial scare of the Omicron variant dissipated among studies showing its symptoms were less severe than prior variants. Also, value stocks outperformed growth stocks, which benefited international equities given their relatively high value/cyclical exposures. |
• | | The MSCI EAFE Index fell in January and February 2022. |
| • | | The price pressure in January was mostly from the continued reverberation surrounding the U.S. Fed’s hawkish policy pivot, the velocity and magnitude of the accompanying government bond yield increase and the long-standing valuation concerns around some of the riskier pockets of the markets. |
| • | | The price pressure in February was mostly from the Russia/Ukraine crisis, as the situation deteriorated sharply and Russia launched a full-scale invasion. |
• | | The best performing sector within the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period was energy, the only sector to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were information technology, industrials and communication services. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI EAFE Index were Norway and the U.K., the only two country constituents to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were the Netherlands, Finland and Ireland. |
Emerging Markets Equities
• | | Representing the emerging markets equity markets, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) returned -9.81% during the Reporting Period, underperforming both the U.S. equity market and the developed international equity markets overall. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2021, emerging markets equities as a whole posted negative returns, mainly due to a steep sell-off in China as well as on broader concerns around rising inflation and, as a direct result, a looming tightening of monetary policy across the globe. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose in October, fell sharply in November and increased in December. |
| • | | Emerging markets equities rose slightly in October as COVID-19 vaccination rates increased and the global spread of the Delta variant slowed in most regions. The markets also expected strong corporate earnings to continue. However, rising input costs, especially energy prices, material shortages and a slowdown in economic growth in China muted investor optimism. |
| • | | In November, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 spread across regions, dampening investor sentiment and leading to mixed outlooks for the global economic recovery. |
2
MARKET REVIEW
| • | | In December, global economic data was encouraging despite market participants closely monitoring the implications of the spread of the Omicron variant, inflation remaining top of mind for investors, and China’s heightened regulations, mainly in the technology sector, weighing on sentiment. |
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell in January and February 2022. |
| • | | In January, both growing tensions between Russian and Ukraine and rising global borrowing costs worried investors. COVID-19 cases surged and hospitalizations rose, furthering dampening investor sentiment around an economic recovery across emerging markets. |
| • | | In February, the Russia/Ukraine situation deteriorated sharply, with Russia launching a full-scale invasion, triggering a sell-off in emerging markets equities. |
• | | The best performing sector within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period was financials, the only sector to post a positive, albeit modest, total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were health care, consumer discretionary and communication services. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period were Peru, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, while the weakest performing countries were Russia, Hungary and Poland. |
• | | It is worth noting that effective March 9, 2022, after the close of the Reporting Period, MSCI Inc. removed Russian securities from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index after deeming the Russian equity market “uninvestable” amidst Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. MSCI Inc. announced the MSCI Russia Indexes would be reclassified to “standalone markets” instead of “emerging markets” across all of MSCI’s indexes “at a price that is effectively zero.” |
Fund Changes and Highlights
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF

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 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. 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”) except for ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, which is listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange Inc. Market prices 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 generally for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash. 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. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. These reclaims if any, are recorded when the amount is known and there are no significant uncertainties on collectability. Such amounts recovered if any, are reflected as other income in the Statements of Operations. 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.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
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/or pro-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 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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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;
92
GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 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 will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. 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. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be 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 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. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs 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.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.
Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.
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.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2022:

5. 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 Goldman Sachs 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’s 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings and litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. 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 six months ended February 28, 2022, 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® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF | | | | | 0.20 | % |
ActiveBeta® U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF | | | | | 0.09 | % |
ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF | | | | | 0.20 | % |
For the six months ended February 28, 2022, 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 | % |
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 six months ended February 28, 2022, these expense reimbursements amounted to $490,290.

6. 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.

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.

8. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
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 February 28, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Both the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended February 28, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
The following table provides information about the Funds’ investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2022:

As of February 28, 2022, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

* | | Commenced operations on December 13, 2021 |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures, differences in the tax treatment of partnership investments, and passive foreign investment company investments.
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.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations of assets and property, trade

|
10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or problems with registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent the Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact the Fund’s liquidity and performance. 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, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund invests in foreign securities, and as such 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. Furthermore, the index providers for the reference indices upon which the Funds’ Indices are based may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of an index or the implementation of certain rules at their sole discretion. In such circumstances, a Fund, in replicating the composition of an index, may have more or less exposure to a particular sector or individual company than had the index been constructed in accordance with its stated methodology.
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.
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). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or

general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments.
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.
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.
In late February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine. Following such invasion, the United States, the European Union, and other countries and entities imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia and related entities. The ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, the ActiveBeta Europe Equity ETF and the ActiveBeta International Equity ETF have limited market value in Russian and Ukrainian securities, which are being valued to reflect the limited liquidity and transferability in the current environment. With the closure of local Russian markets and imposition of sanctions in late February and early March, there are currently limited portfolio management actions possible as many of these assets are either sanctioned and/or cannot be transferred or settled. These sanctions and current environment could impair the ability of these Funds to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain securities and other instruments. The full impact of the sanctions and the conflict on these Funds, the financial markets and the global economy is not yet known. Management is continuing to monitor these developments and evaluate other impacts they may have on these Funds.
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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Each Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, each Fund’s investment adviser, to administer the Program. Certain aspects of the Program rely on third parties to perform certain functions, including the provision of market data and application of models.
The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4); (4) for a Fund that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will generally be invested in highly liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”); and (5) periodic reporting to the Board of Trustees.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on February 3-4, 2022, GSAM provided a written report to the Board addressing the operation, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation, of the Program, including, as applicable, the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and any material changes to the Program, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”). Among other things, the annual report discussed: (1) the results of stress tests designed to assess liquidity under a hypothetical stressed scenario involving elevated redemptions; (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories; (3) the efficiency of the arbitrage function during the Reporting Period; and (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Fund Expenses — Six Months ended 2/28/2022 (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.
Except with respect to the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, which commenced operations on December 13, 2021, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from September 1, 2021 and held for the six months ended February 28, 2022, which represents a period of 181 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® ETFs except Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The 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 (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until September 30, 2022 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on September 13, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held one meeting over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2020. At this Committee meeting, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its registered fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), as provided by a third-party fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | the terms of the Management Agreement entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (d) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (e) | | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (f) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (g) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (h) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; |
| (i) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (j) | | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (k) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® ETFs except Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
| (l) | | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other registered funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of registered fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
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 provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are 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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Funds operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 fee to the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser pays each Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding payments under each 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. The Trustees also considered information about each Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies and other characteristics. In particular, they noted that the Funds are passively-managed ETFs that seek to track proprietary indices created by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees noted the experience and capabilities of the key personnel of the Investment Adviser who provide services to the Funds. In particular, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive experience in managing quantitative investment strategies and its expertise in developing “smart beta” products. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. 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.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using data, rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2021, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of June 30, 2021. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. As part of this review, they reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing each Fund’s performance to that of its proprietary index, a comparable market capitalization-weighted reference index and a separate account composite with a comparable investment strategy, as applicable. The Trustees observed that each Fund’s investment performance was consistent with the investment objective of tracking its proprietary index.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® ETFs except Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
Unitary Fee Structure and Profitability
The Trustees considered the unitary 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 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 rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and non-advisory services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as ETFs.
In addition, the Trustees noted that no license fees would be payable to the Investment Adviser by the Funds for use of the indices created by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees also considered information previously provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of each Fund’s fee rate and expense ratio were prepared by the Investment Adviser and certain third-party providers of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing each Fund’s management fee rate and net 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 paid by the Funds.
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had previously received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees noted that the Funds, similar to many other ETFs, do not have management fee breakpoints. They considered information previously provided regarding each Fund’s fee structure, the amounts of assets in each Fund, each Fund’s recent creation and redemption activity, and the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining each Fund’s unitary management fee rate.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived (or expected to be derived) by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested; (e) 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 (f) 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. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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 fee paid by each Fund was reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until September 30, 2022.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Fund at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until September 30, 2022 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on September 13, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held one meeting over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2020. At this Committee meeting, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to the Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its registered fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), as provided by a third-party fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | the terms of the Management Agreement entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (d) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (e) | | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (f) | | the undertaking of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement an expense limitation; |
| (g) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (h) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (i) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; |
| (j) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (k) | | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (l) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (m) | | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |

GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Fund and other registered funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Fund. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of registered fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
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 provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are 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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Fund operates, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and their service providers operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees also considered information about the Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies and other characteristics. In particular, they noted that the Fund is a passively-managed ETF that seeks to track a proprietary index created by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees noted the experience and capabilities of the key personnel of the Investment Adviser who provide services to the Fund. In particular, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive experience in managing quantitative investment strategies and its expertise in developing “smart beta” products. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Fund and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. 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.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of the Fund to its peers using data, rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2021, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of June 30, 2021. The information on the Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one- and three-year periods ending on the applicable dates. As part of this review, they reviewed the investment performance of the Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing the Fund’s performance to that of its proprietary index, a comparable market capitalization-weighted reference index, and a composite of separate accounts with comparable investment strategies. The Trustees observed that the Fund’s investment performance was consistent with the investment objective of tracking its proprietary index.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Fund’s risk profile, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rate payable by the Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which included both advisory and non-advisory services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as an ETF.
The Trustees noted that no license fees would be payable to the Investment Adviser by the Fund for use of the index created by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s total operating expense ratio (both gross and net of expense

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
limitations). The Trustees also considered information previously provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of the Fund’s fee rate and expense ratio were prepared by the Investment Adviser and certain third-party providers of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing the Fund’s management fee and net expense ratio to those of relevant peer funds. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fee and total expenses paid by the Fund.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level pursuant to the permanent expense limitation agreement in place. The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had previously received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules with respect to the Fund for various functions (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees noted that the Fund, similar to many other ETFs, does not have management fee breakpoints. They considered information previously provided regarding the Fund’s fee structure, the amount of assets in the Fund, the Fund’s recent creation and redemption activity, the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level. The Trustees recognized that if the assets of the Fund increase over time, the Fund and its shareholders could realize economies of scale as certain Fund expenses, such as certain fixed fees, become a smaller percentage of overall assets. They further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining the Fund’s management fee rate.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived (or expected to be derived) by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Fund’s securities lending cash collateral is invested; (e) 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 (f) 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. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Fund receives certain other potential benefits as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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; (d) the Fund’s access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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

GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
judgment, that the management fee paid by the Fund was reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to the Fund until September 30, 2022.

GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on December 13, 2021. At a meeting held on September 13-14, 2021 (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 and non-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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Fund would operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers would operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, 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’s 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings and litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. The 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 a passively-managed ETF that seeks to track a proprietary index created by the Investment Adviser. 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 quantitative investment strategies and its expertise in developing “smart beta” products. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. 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 unitary 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 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 non-advisory services directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as an ETF. The Trustees noted that no license fees would be payable to the Investment Adviser
117

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
by the Fund for use of the index created by the Investment Adviser. 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 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 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 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, similar to many other ETFs, 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. The Trustees further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining the Fund’s unitary management fee rate.
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 as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Fund’s securities lending cash collateral is invested; (e) 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 (f) 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 due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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; (d) the Fund’s access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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 for an initial two-year period from its effective date.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Equity ETFs
The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the U.S. equity market and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Equity ETFs (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 28, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2022.
Market and Economic Review
• | | Overall, U.S. equities struggled during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of -2.62%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of -4.24%. |
• | | Persistent supply-chain disruptions and inflationary pressures remained the common themes during the Reporting Period, while the biggest headlines were the COVID-19 variants and the start of the yet ongoing Russia/Ukraine war. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2021, the S&P 500 Index saw its first decline since January 2021 and its worst month since September 2020. Focus centered around U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tapering, complex legislative negotiations, persistent supply-chain disruptions, spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant, global risk events, rising energy costs and the rapid uptick in U.S. Treasury yields. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the S&P 500 Index increased in October, fell in November and increased in December. |
| • | | The third quarter corporate earnings season propelled the U.S. equity market rally in October, with retail earnings upside surprises and hints of easing supply-chain constraints supporting the market’s upward trajectory into early November. |
| • | | Later in November, a $1 trillion infrastructure bill was signed into law, and Fed Chair Powell was appointed for a second term, bringing clarity to the Fed’s leadership. However, renewed concerns around COVID-19 developments pressured U.S. equities, with the emergence of the more contagious Omicron variant triggering a sell-off. Persistently high inflation also weighed on market sentiment. |
| • | | In December, the S&P 500 Index rebounded despite record COVID-19 case counts in many population centers in the U.S., as studies showed the variant was generally accompanied by milder symptoms than previous variants. Positive seasonality and the so-called “Santa Rally” also lifted the S&P 500 Index towards the end of the month. (A Santa rally refers a sustained increase in the stock market that occurs in the last week of December through the first two trading days in January.) The Fed walked back its use of “transitory” in describing the inflationary environment and announced it would double its pace of asset purchase tapering and indicated potential interest rate hikes in 2022. |
• | | The S&P 500 Index fell in January and February 2022, suffering its biggest pullback since March 2020 amid reverberations surrounding the Fed’s hawkish policy pivot, the velocity and magnitude of the accompanying U.S. Treasury yield increase, the long-standing valuation concerns around some of the riskier pockets of the market, the remaining inflation overhang and the ramping of geopolitical tensions caused by the Russia/Ukraine war. (Hawkish suggests higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) |
• | | During the Reporting Period overall, the U.S. equity market saw a sharp reversal of the growth/value dynamic amid a backdrop of rising U.S. Treasury yields and expectations of multiple interest rate hikes by the Fed. Value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks during the Reporting Period. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period were energy, consumer staples and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were communication services, information technology and consumer discretionary. |

MARKET REVIEW
Fund Changes and Highlights
Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF
• | | The Fund launched on February 8, 2022. |
| • | | The Fund offers access to the $100 trillion+, multi-decade clean energy investment opportunity by seeking to track the Bloomberg Goldman Sachs Global Clean Energy Index (the “Index”), an equity index designed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Bloomberg energy sector specialists. |
| • | | Compared to other clean energy ETFs, the Fund offers three key potential advantages: |
| 1. | | Captures the full universe of clean energy companies, which may result in a more diverse portfolio and lower volatility |
| 2. | | Drives capital to companies with what the advisor believes to be companies with the greatest potential exposure to clean energy growth through an impact-weighted portfolio construction process |
| 3. | | Systematically evolves alongside the energy transition using forward looking datasets and analyst insights which seek to capture new clean energy businesses and potential alpha, or value- adding, opportunities |
| • | | Ultimately, the Fund is designed for investors interested in owning “clean energy enablers,” companies that are seizing the secular growth opportunity to combat climate change and provide clean, affordable and reliable energy. |
| • | | The Fund seeks to track the Index, which focuses capital in companies with the greatest exposure to the clean energy transition. These clean energy exposures are measured using proprietary asset-level datasets and insights from the 200+ global analysts at BloombergNEF (BNEF), a premier energy transition research and advisory service provider for governments, corporations and financiers. |

| | September 1, 2021– February 28, 2022 | | Fund Total Return (based on NAV)2 | | | Fund Total Return (based on Market Price)2 | | | JUST US Large Cap Diversified Index3 | | | Russell 1000® Index4 | |
| | | | | |
| | Shares | | | -3.48 | % | | | -3.58 | % | | | -3.38 | % | | | -3.88 | % |
| 2 | | 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. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |

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 Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF* | | Diversified |
Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF | | Diversified |
Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF | | Diversified |
Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF | | Diversified |
Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF | | Diversified |
* | | The Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF commenced operations on February 8, 2022. |
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 Goldman Sachs Hedged Industry VIP ETF, Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF, and Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”), and shares of the Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe”). Market prices 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 generally for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash. 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. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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.
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/or pro-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 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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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;
48
GOLDMAN SACHS EQUITY ETFS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 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 will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. 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. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be 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 Funds (“Underlying Money Market Fund”) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Money Market Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Money Market 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 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.

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 Group, Inc. for the six months ended February 28, 2022:

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.

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
54

|
7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
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 February 28, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Both the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended February 28, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the Funds’ capital loss carryforward and certain timing differences on a tax-basis were as follows:

** | | The capital loss carryforwards of the Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF were acquired in a tax-free reorganization on November 6, 2020. |
As of February 28, 2022, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF | | | Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF | | | Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF | | | Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF | | | Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 7,976,382 | | | $ | 768,805,041 | | | $ | 182,896,355 | | | $ | 436,638,008 | | | $ | 219,852,115 | |

Gross unrealized loss | | | (113,232 | ) | | | (46,334,385 | ) | | | (12,341,259 | ) | | | (56,723,974 | ) | | | (6,153,210 | ) |

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, partnership investments, passive foreign investment company investments, and real estate trust investments.
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 year remains subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
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 U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or problems with 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, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
56
GOLDMAN SACHS EQUITY ETFS
|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund invests in foreign securities, and as such 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, JUST Capital Foundation, Inc. and Solactive AG (the “Index Providers”) construct the respective 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 Providers rely on third party data they believe to be reliable in constructing each respective Index, but they do 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 Providers 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 Providers can guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index. Furthermore, Solactive AG, the index provider for the Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF, and JUST Capital Foundation, Inc., the index provider for the Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of an Index or the implementation of certain rules at its sole discretion. In such circumstances, a Fund, in replicating the composition of its Index, may have more or less exposure to a particular sector or individual company than had the Index been constructed in accordance with its stated methodology.
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.
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). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. 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
57

|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 its portfolio of investments. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.
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.
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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Each Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, each Fund’s investment adviser, to administer the Program. Certain aspects of the Program rely on third parties to perform certain functions, including the provision of market data and application of models.
The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4); (4) for a Fund that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will generally be invested in highly liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”); and (5) periodic reporting to the Board of Trustees.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on February 3-4, 2022, GSAM provided a written report to the Board addressing the operation, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation, of the Program, including, as applicable, the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and any material changes to the Program, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”). Among other things, the annual report discussed: (1) the results of stress tests designed to assess liquidity under a hypothetical stressed scenario involving elevated redemptions; (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories; (3) the efficiency of the arbitrage function during the Reporting Period; and (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Fund Expenses — Six Months Ended 2/28/2022 (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.
Except with respect to the Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF, which commenced operations on February 8, 2022, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from September 1, 2021 and held for the six months ended February 28, 2022, which represents a period of 181 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF, Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF, Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until September 30, 2022 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on September 13, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held one meeting over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2020. At this Committee meeting, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its registered fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), as provided by a third-party fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | the terms of the Management Agreement entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (d) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (e) | | with respect to the investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (f) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund, to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (g) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (h) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; |
| (i) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (j) | | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (k) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |

| (l) | | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other registered funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of registered fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
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 provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are 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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Funds operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 fee to the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser pays each Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding payments under each 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. The Trustees also considered information about each Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies and other characteristics. In particular, they noted that the Funds are passively-managed ETFs that seek to track indices developed and maintained by third-party service providers, except for the Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF, which seeks to track a proprietary index created by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees noted the experience and capabilities of the key personnel of the Investment Adviser who provide services to the Funds. In particular, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive experience in managing quantitative investment strategies. They also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. 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.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using data, rankings and/or ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2021, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of June 30, 2021. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one- and three-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. As part of this review, they reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing each Fund’s performance to that of its respective index, a comparable market capitalization-weighted reference index and/or a separate account composite with a comparable investment strategy, as applicable. The Trustees observed that each Fund’s investment performance was consistent with the investment objective of tracking its index.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF, Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
Unitary Fee Structure and Profitability
The Trustees considered the unitary 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 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 rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and non-advisory services that were 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 Solactive AG for the use of the underlying indices of the Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Innovative Equity ETF, to Frank Russell Company for the use of the underlying index of the Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, and to JUST Capital Foundation, Inc. for the use of certain trademarks and trade names with respect to the Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF. They noted that no license fee would be payable to the Investment Adviser by the Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF for use of the index created by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees also considered information previously provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of each Fund’s fee rate and expense ratio were prepared by the Investment Adviser and certain third-party providers of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing each Fund’s management fee rate and net 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 paid by the Funds.
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had previously received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees noted that the Funds, similar to many other ETFs, do not have management fee breakpoints. They considered information previously provided regarding each Fund’s fee structure, the amount of assets in each Fund, each Fund’s recent creation and redemption activity, and the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining each Fund’s unitary management fee rate.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived (or expected to be derived) by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested; (e) 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 (f) 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. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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 fee paid by each Fund was reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until September 30, 2022.

GOLDMAN SACHS EQUITY ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on February 8, 2022. At a meeting held on December 1, 2021 (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 and non-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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Fund would operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers would operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, 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’s 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings and litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. The 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 a passively-managed ETF that seeks to track an index owned and calculated by a third-party service provider. 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 quantitative investment strategies. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. 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 unitary 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 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 non-advisory services directed to the
66
GOLDMAN SACHS EQUITY ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
needs and operations of the Fund as an ETF. The Trustees noted that a license fee would be payable by the Investment Adviser to Bloomberg Professional Services for the use of its index. 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 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 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 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, similar to many other ETFs, 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. The Trustees further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining the Fund’s unitary management fee rate.
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 as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Fund’s securities lending cash collateral is invested; (e) 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 (f) 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 due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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 for an initial two-year period from its effective date.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Equity ETFs
The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the U.S., international and emerging markets equity markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Equity ETFs (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 28, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2022.
Market and Economic Review
U.S. Equities
• | | Overall, U.S. equities struggled during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of -2.62%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of -4.24%. |
• | | Persistent supply-chain disruptions and inflationary pressures remained the common themes during the Reporting Period, while the biggest headlines were the COVID-19 variants and the start of the yet ongoing Russia/Ukraine war. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2021, the S&P 500 Index saw its first decline since January 2021 and its worst month since September 2020. Focus centered around U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tapering, complex legislative negotiations, persistent supply-chain disruptions, spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant, global risk events, rising energy costs and the rapid uptick in U.S. Treasury yields. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the S&P 500 Index increased in October, fell in November and increased in December. |
| • | | The third quarter corporate earnings season propelled the U.S. equity market rally in October, with retail earnings upside surprises and hints of easing supply-chain constraints supporting the market’s upward trajectory into early November. |
| • | | Later in November, a $1 trillion infrastructure bill was signed into law, and Fed Chair Powell was appointed for a second term, bringing clarity to the Fed’s leadership. However, renewed concerns around COVID-19 developments pressured U.S. equities, with the emergence of the more contagious Omicron variant triggering a sell-off. Persistently high inflation also weighed on market sentiment. |
| • | | In December, the S&P 500 Index rebounded despite record COVID-19 case counts in many population centers in the U.S., as studies showed the variant was generally accompanied by milder symptoms than previous variants. Positive seasonality and the so-called “Santa Rally” also lifted the S&P 500 Index towards the end of the month. (A Santa rally refers a sustained increase in the stock market that occurs in the last week of December through the first two trading days in January.) The Fed walked back its use of “transitory” in describing the inflationary environment and announced it would double its pace of asset purchase tapering and indicated potential interest rate hikes in 2022. |
• | | The S&P 500 Index fell in January and February 2022, suffering its biggest pullback since March 2020 amid reverberations surrounding the Fed’s hawkish policy pivot, the velocity and magnitude of the accompanying U.S. Treasury yield increase, the long-standing valuation concerns around some of the riskier pockets of the market, the remaining inflation overhang and the ramping of geopolitical tensions caused by the Russia/Ukraine war. |
• | | During the Reporting Period overall, the U.S. equity market saw a sharp reversal of the growth/value dynamic amid a backdrop of rising U.S. Treasury yields and expectations of multiple interest rate hikes by the Fed. Value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks during the Reporting Period. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period were energy, consumer staples and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were communication services, information technology and consumer discretionary. |
International Equities
• | | Representing the developed international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) returned -6.78% for the Reporting Period, underperforming the U.S. equity market. |
1
MARKET REVIEW
• | | As the Reporting Period began, international equity markets receded in September 2021, due primarily to the U.S. Fed’s announcements around tapering of its monthly asset purchase plans and increases in interest rates. |
| • | | The decline was further aggravated by halts in global manufacturing activities due to supply-chain disruptions and semiconductor shortages as well as power cuts and energy crises around the world. |
| • | | Regulations imposed by the Chinese government on certain key sectors led to increased investor pessimism, worsened by Evergrande Group’s debt crisis and spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the MSCI EAFE Index increased in October, fell in November and rose in December. |
| • | | Many of the concerns that dominated the international equity markets in September ebbed somewhat in October, supported in Europe and the U.K. particularly by favorable third calendar quarter corporate earnings reports. |
| • | | In November, international equity markets suffered over fears of the new COVID-19 Omicron variant’s potential impact. Travel restrictions were re-imposed to curtail the variant’s spread, and lockdown measures were reimposed in Europe. Japan’s equity market fell due to both inflation and supply-chain issues as well as concerns about the Omicron variant. |
| • | | In December, the initial scare of the Omicron variant dissipated among studies showing its symptoms were less severe than prior variants. Also, value stocks outperformed growth stocks, which benefited international equities given their relatively high value/cyclical exposures. |
• | | The MSCI EAFE Index fell in January and February 2022. |
| • | | The price pressure in January was mostly from the continued reverberation surrounding the U.S. Fed’s hawkish policy pivot, the velocity and magnitude of the accompanying government bond yield increase and the long-standing valuation concerns around some of the riskier pockets of the markets. |
| • | | The price pressure in February was mostly from the Russia/Ukraine crisis, as the situation deteriorated sharply and Russia launched a full-scale invasion. |
• | | The best performing sector within the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period was energy, the only sector to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were information technology, industrials and communication services. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI EAFE Index were Norway and the U.K., the only two country constituents to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were the Netherlands, Finland and Ireland. |
Emerging Markets Equities
• | | Representing the emerging markets equity markets, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) returned -9.81% during the Reporting Period, underperforming both the U.S. equity market and the developed international equity markets overall. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2021, emerging markets equities as a whole posted negative returns, mainly due to a steep sell-off in China as well as on broader concerns around rising inflation and, as a direct result, a looming tightening of monetary policy across the globe. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose in October, fell sharply in November and increased in December. |
| • | | Emerging markets equities rose slightly in October as COVID-19 vaccination rates increased and the global spread of the Delta variant slowed in most regions. The markets also expected strong corporate earnings to continue. However, rising input costs, especially energy prices, material shortages and a slowdown in economic growth in China muted investor optimism. |
| • | | In November, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 spread across regions, dampening investor sentiment and leading to mixed outlooks for the global economic recovery. |
2
MARKET REVIEW
| • | | In December, global economic data was encouraging despite market participants closely monitoring the implications of the spread of the Omicron variant, inflation remaining top of mind for investors, and China’s heightened regulations, mainly in the technology sector, weighing on sentiment. |
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell in January and February 2022. |
| • | | In January, both growing tensions between Russian and Ukraine and rising global borrowing costs worried investors. COVID-19 cases surged and hospitalizations rose, furthering dampening investor sentiment around an economic recovery across emerging markets. |
| • | | In February, the Russia/Ukraine situation deteriorated sharply, with Russia launching a full-scale invasion, triggering a sell-off in emerging markets equities. |
| • | | In large part due to the impact of sanctions imposed upon Russia, the Russian equity market, as measured by the MSCI Russia Index, declined by 52.75% from its peak at the end of October 2021 through the end of February 2022. |
| • | | In Asia, China’s equity market, as measured by the MSCI China Index, returned -3.90% in February over worries about the worsening Ukraine crisis and the domestic property market. |
| • | | India’s equity market also fell in February, as data showed the country’s economic growth missed consensus estimates and because rising crude oil prices remained a threat to the country’s economic recovery. |
• | | The best performing sector within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period was financials, the only sector to post a positive, albeit modest, total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were health care, consumer discretionary and communication services. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period were Peru, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, while the weakest performing countries were Russia, Hungary and Poland. |
• | | It is worth noting that effective March 9, 2022, after the close of the Reporting Period, MSCI Inc. removed Russian securities from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index after deeming the Russian equity market “uninvestable” amidst Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. MSCI Inc. announced the MSCI Russia Indexes would be reclassified to “standalone markets” instead of “emerging markets” across all of MSCI’s indexes “at a price that is effectively zero.” |

1 | | The Market Price is the price at which the Fund’s shares are trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, 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 Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. 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. |

2 | | 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 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 4:00 pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |

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 a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust. Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Market prices 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 generally for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash. 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. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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. For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
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/or pro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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 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.

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:
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 will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. 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. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be 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.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.
i. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.
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 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. Underlying funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value

5. 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 six months ended February 28, 2022, contractual and effective net unitary management fees with GSAM were at the following rates for each Fund:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Contractual Unitary Management Fee | | | Effective Net Unitary Management Fee* | |
MarketBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF | | | | | 0.45 | % | | | 0.36 | % |
MarketBeta International Equity ETF | | | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.20 | % |
MarketBeta U.S. Equity ETF | | | | | 0.09 | % | | | 0.07 | % |
* | | Effective Net Unitary Management Fee includes the impact of management fee waivers, if any. |
GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate of 0.36%, 0.20% and 0.07% as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of the MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, MarketBeta® International Equity ETF and MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF, respectively. These arrangements will remain in effect through at least December 29, 2022 and prior to such date, the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees. For the six months ended February 28, 2022, GSAM waived $15,062, $91,009 and $44,153 of the Funds’ management fees for the MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, MarketBeta® International Equity ETF and MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF, respectively.
B. Other Transactions with Affiliates — The following table provides information about the MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF’s investment in shares of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. of which the MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF is an affiliate as of and for the six months ended February 28, 2022:

|
6. 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.

6. CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS (continued) |
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. Share activity is as follows:

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 February 28, 2022, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Each of the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended February 28, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
The following table provides information about the Funds’ investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2022:

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures, and differences in the tax treatment of partnership investments and passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable) 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or problems with registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. The type and severity of sanctions and other similar measures, including counter sanctions and other retaliatory actions, that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. For example, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could, among other things, cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by the sanctioned country or companies located in or economically tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent a Fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of securities transactions, and significantly impact the Fund’s liquidity and performance. 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, or economically tied to, emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund invests in foreign securities, and as such 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.
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.
Index Risk — Solactive AG (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
74
GOLDMAN SACHS MARKETBETA ETFS
|
10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments. 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.
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.
In late February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine. Following such invasion, the United States, the European Union, and other countries and entities imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia and related entities. The MarketBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF and the MarketBeta International Equity ETF have limited market value in Russian and Ukrainian securities, which are being valued to reflect the limited liquidity and transferability in the current environment. With the closure of local Russian markets and imposition of sanctions in late February and early March, there are currently limited portfolio management actions possible as

many of these assets are either sanctioned and/or cannot be transferred or settled. These sanctions and current environment could impair the ability of these funds to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain securities and other instruments. The full impact of the sanctions and the conflict on these Funds, the financial markets and the global economy is not yet known. Management is continuing to monitor these developments and evaluate other impacts they may have on these Funds.
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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Each Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, each Fund’s investment adviser, to administer the Program. Certain aspects of the Program rely on third parties to perform certain functions, including the provision of market data and application of models.
The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4); (4) for a Fund that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will generally be invested in highly liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”); and (5) periodic reporting to the Board of Trustees.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on February 3-4, 2022, GSAM provided a written report to the Board addressing the operation, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation, of the Program, including, as applicable, the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and any material changes to the Program, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”). Among other things, the annual report discussed: (1) the results of stress tests designed to assess liquidity under a hypothetical stressed scenario involving elevated redemptions; (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories; (3) the efficiency of the arbitrage function during the Reporting Period; and (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Fund Expenses — Six Months ended 2/28/2022 (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 September 1, 2021 and held for the six months ended February 28, 2022, which represents a period of 181 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta International Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs MarketBeta U.S. Equity ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta International Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs MarketBeta U.S. Equity ETF (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until September 30, 2022 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on September 13, 2021 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held one meeting over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2020. At this Committee meeting, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its registered fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), as provided by a third-party fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | the terms of the Management Agreement entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (d) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by a third-party fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”); |
| (e) | | with respect to the investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (f) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers; |
| (g) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (h) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (i) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; |
| (j) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (k) | | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |

GOLDMAN SACHS MARKETBETA ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta International Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs MarketBeta U.S. Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
| (l) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (m) | | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other registered funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of registered fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
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 provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are 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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Funds operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 fee to the Investment Adviser, and the Investment Adviser pays each Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding payments under each 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. The Trustees also considered information about each Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies and other characteristics. In particular, they noted that the Funds are passively-managed ETFs that seek to track indices developed and maintained by a third-party service provider. The Trustees noted the experience and capabilities of the key personnel of the Investment Adviser who provide services to the Funds. In particular, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s extensive experience in managing quantitative investment strategies. They also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations capabilities. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. 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.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using data compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2021, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of June 30, 2021. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-year period ending on the applicable dates. As part of this review, they reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing each Fund’s performance to that of its respective index and a composite of separate accounts with comparable investment strategies. The Trustees observed that the
81
GOLDMAN SACHS MARKETBETA ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta International Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs MarketBeta U.S. Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
investment performance of each passively-managed Fund was consistent with the investment objective of tracking its respective index.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
Unitary Fee Structure and Profitability
The Trustees considered the unitary 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 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 rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and non-advisory services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as ETFs.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement a management fee waiver for each Fund. The Trustees noted that license fees would be payable by the Investment Adviser to Solactive AG for the use of its indices. The Trustees also considered information previously provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of each Fund’s fee rate and expense ratio were prepared by the Investment Adviser and certain third-party providers of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing each Fund’s management fee rate and net 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 paid by the Funds.
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had previously received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees noted that the Funds, similar to many other ETFs, do not have management fee breakpoints. They considered information previously provided regarding each Fund’s fee structure, the amount of assets in each Fund, each Fund’s recent creation and redemption activity, and the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining each Fund’s unitary management fee rate.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived (or expected to be derived) by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested (e) 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 (f) 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. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs MarketBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs MarketBeta International Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs MarketBeta U.S. Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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 fee paid by each Fund was reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement with respect to each Fund should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until September 30, 2022.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Future Thematic Equity ETFs
The following are highlights both of key factors affecting the U.S., international and emerging markets equity markets and of any key changes made to the Goldman Sachs Future Thematic Equity ETFs (the “Funds”) during the six months ended February 28, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided for those Funds that materially outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmarks during the Reporting Period. A fuller review of the markets and these changes will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2022.
Market and Economic Review
U.S. Equities
• | | Overall, U.S. equities struggled during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500® Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of -2.62%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of -4.24%. |
• | | Persistent supply-chain disruptions and inflationary pressures remained the common themes during the Reporting Period, while the biggest headlines were the COVID-19 variants and the start of the yet ongoing Russia/Ukraine war. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2021, the S&P 500® Index saw its first decline since January 2021 and its worst month since September 2020. Focus centered around U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tapering, complex legislative negotiations, persistent supply-chain disruptions, spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant, global risk events, rising energy costs and the rapid uptick in U.S. Treasury yields. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the S&P 500® Index increased in October, fell in November and increased in December. |
| • | | The third quarter corporate earnings season propelled the U.S. equity market rally in October, with retail earnings upside surprises and hints of easing supply-chain constraints supporting the market’s upward trajectory into early November. |
| • | | Later in November, a $1 trillion infrastructure bill was signed into law, and Fed Chair Powell was appointed for a second term, bringing clarity to the Fed’s leadership. However, renewed concerns around COVID-19 developments pressured U.S. equities, with the emergence of the more contagious Omicron variant triggering a sell-off. Persistently high inflation also weighed on market sentiment. |
| • | | In December, the S&P 500® Index rebounded despite record COVID-19 case counts in many population centers in the U.S., as studies showed the variant was generally accompanied by milder symptoms than previous variants. Positive seasonality and the so-called “Santa Rally” also lifted the S&P 500® Index towards the end of the month. (A Santa rally refers a sustained increase in the stock market that occurs in the last week of December through the first two trading days in January.) The Fed walked back its use of “transitory” in describing the inflationary environment and announced it would double its pace of asset purchase tapering and indicated potential interest rate hikes in 2022. |
• | | The S&P 500® Index fell in January and February 2022, suffering its biggest pullback since March 2020 amid reverberations surrounding the Fed’s hawkish policy pivot, the velocity and magnitude of the accompanying U.S. Treasury yield increase, the long-standing valuation concerns around some of the riskier pockets of the market, the remaining inflation overhang and the ramping of geopolitical tensions caused by the Russia/Ukraine war. |
• | | During the Reporting Period overall, the U.S. equity market saw a sharp reversal of the growth/value dynamic amid a backdrop of rising U.S. Treasury yields and expectations of multiple interest rate hikes by the Fed. Value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks during the Reporting Period. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the S&P 500® Index during the Reporting Period were energy, consumer staples and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were communication services, information technology and consumer discretionary. |

MARKET REVIEW
International Equities
• | | Representing the developed international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) returned -6.78% for the Reporting Period, underperforming the U.S. equity market. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began, international equity markets receded in September 2021, due primarily to the U.S. Fed’s announcements around tapering of its monthly asset purchase plans and increases in interest rates. |
| • | | The decline was further aggravated by halts in global manufacturing activities due to supply-chain disruptions and semiconductor shortages as well as power cuts and energy crises around the world. |
| • | | Regulations imposed by the Chinese government on certain key sectors, primarily technology, led to increased investor pessimism, worsened by the debt crisis at Chinese property developer Evergrande Group and spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the MSCI EAFE Index increased in October, fell in November and rose in December. |
| • | | Many of the concerns that dominated the international equity markets in September ebbed somewhat in October, supported in Europe and the U.K. particularly by favorable third calendar quarter corporate earnings reports. |
| • | | In November, international equity markets suffered over fears of the new COVID-19 Omicron variant’s potential impact. Travel restrictions were re-imposed to curtail the variant’s spread, and lockdown measures were reimposed in Europe. Japan’s equity market fell due to both inflation and supply-chain issues as well as concerns about the Omicron variant. |
| • | | In December, the initial scare of the Omicron variant dissipated among studies showing its symptoms were less severe than prior variants. Also, value stocks outperformed growth stocks, which benefited international equities given their relatively high value/cyclical exposures. |
• | | The MSCI EAFE Index fell in January and February 2022. |
| • | | The price pressure in January was mostly from the continued reverberation surrounding the U.S. Fed’s hawkish policy pivot, the velocity and magnitude of the accompanying government bond yield increase and the long-standing valuation concerns around some of the riskier pockets of the markets. |
| • | | The price pressure in February was mostly from the Russia/Ukraine crisis, as the situation deteriorated sharply and Russia launched a full-scale invasion. |
• | | The best performing sector within the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period was energy, the only sector to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were information technology, industrials and communication services. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI EAFE Index were Norway and the U.K., the only two country constituents to post a positive total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were the Netherlands, Finland and Ireland. |
Emerging Markets Equities
• | | Representing the emerging markets equity markets, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) returned -9.81% during the Reporting Period, underperforming both the U.S. equity market and the developed international equity markets overall. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2021, emerging markets equities as a whole posted negative returns, mainly due to a steep sell-off in China as well as on broader concerns around rising inflation and, as a direct result, a looming tightening of monetary policy across the globe. |
2
MARKET REVIEW
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2021, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose in October, fell sharply in November and increased in December. |
| • | | Emerging markets equities rose slightly in October as COVID-19 vaccination rates increased and the global spread of the Delta variant slowed in most regions. The markets also expected strong corporate earnings to continue. However, rising input costs, especially energy prices, material shortages and a slowdown in economic growth in China muted investor optimism. |
| • | | In November, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 spread across regions, dampening investor sentiment and leading to mixed outlooks for the global economic recovery. |
| • | | In December, global economic data was encouraging despite market participants closely monitoring the implications of the spread of the Omicron variant, inflation remaining top of mind for investors, and China’s heightened regulations, mainly in the technology sector, weighing on sentiment. |
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell in January and February 2022. |
| • | | In January, both growing tensions between Russian and Ukraine and rising global borrowing costs worried investors. COVID-19 cases surged and hospitalizations rose, furthering dampening investor sentiment around an economic recovery across emerging markets. |
| • | | In February, the Russia/Ukraine situation deteriorated sharply, with Russia launching a full-scale invasion, triggering a sell-off in emerging markets equities. |
• | | The best performing sector within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period was financials, the only sector to post a positive, albeit modest, total return for the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were health care, consumer discretionary and communication services. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period were Peru, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, while the weakest performing countries were Russia, Hungary and Poland. |
• | | It is worth noting that effective March 9, 2022, after the close of the Reporting Period, MSCI Inc. removed Russian securities from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index after deeming the Russian equity market “uninvestable” amidst Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. MSCI Inc. announced the MSCI Russia Indexes would be reclassified to “standalone markets” instead of “emerging markets” across all of MSCI’s indexes “at a price that is effectively zero.” |
Fund Changes and Highlights
Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF
• | | The Fund, which seeks long-term growth of capital, launched on November 9, 2021. |
• | | The Fund is an actively managed ETF; it is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. |
• | | The Fund intends to invest in companies Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“Investment Adviser”) believes are aligned with the key themes associated with the different and evolving priorities and spending habits of younger consumers, which include, but are not limited to, the increased adoption of technology and their different lifestyle preferences and values (the “Key Themes”). |
• | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Key Themes were: |

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF
• | | The Fund, which seeks long-term growth of capital, launched on November 9, 2021. |
• | | The Fund is an actively managed ETF; it is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. |
• | | The Fund intends to invest in companies the Investment Adviser believes are aligned with the key themes associated with innovation in health care (the “Key Themes”). |
• | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Key Themes were: |
| • | | Genomics — Companies that, in the Investment Adviser’s view, provide, invest in or help create products, services or technologies in areas including but not limited to sequencing, diagnostic testing and the genomics supply chain. |

| • | | Digital Healthcare — Companies that, in the Investment Adviser’s view, provide, invest in or help create products, services or technologies in areas including but not limited to connected devices, digital transformation and online health. |
Goldman Sachs Future Planet Equity ETF
• | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark index, the MSCI All Country World Index, during the Reporting Period, as concerns around inflation and monetary policy tightening led investors to shift out of growth-oriented stocks and into more cyclical, value-oriented stocks. In this environment, the Fund was hampered by its deliberate overweight in the stocks of higher growth, more innovative and high quality companies. |
• | | From a theme perspective, the Fund’s overweight in Sustainable Consumption contributed positively to its performance, while stock selection in Clean Energy detracted from relative returns. |
• | | In sector terms, the Fund benefited from stock selection in communication services and consumer discretionary. Overweight positions in the industrials and materials sectors hurt relative performance. |
• | | From a country perspective, stock selection in China supported the Fund’s relative returns, while overweights in the U.S. and Japan detracted from relative results. |
Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF
• | | The Fund, which seeks long-term growth of capital, launched on November 9, 2021. |
• | | The Fund is an actively managed ETF; it is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. |
• | | The Fund generally intends to invest in real estate and infrastructure companies the Investment Adviser believes are aligned with key themes associated with secular growth drivers for real estate and infrastructure assets (the “Real Estate Key Themes”). |
• | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Real Estate Key Themes were: |
| • | | Innovation — Real estate and infrastructure companies that, in the Investment Adviser’s view, facilitate innovation-driven demand drivers including but not limited to towers, digital storage, cold storage, logistics, life-science office and studio office. |
| • | | Demographic Shifts — Real estate and infrastructure companies that, in the Investment Adviser’s view, facilitate demographic-driven demand drivers in areas including but not limited to select multi-family, single family rental, self-storage and health care. |
4
MARKET REVIEW
| • | | Experiences Over Things — Real estate and infrastructure companies that, in the Investment Adviser’s view, facilitate experience-driven demand drivers in areas including but not limited to leisure hotels, airports, toll roads, rails and ports. |
| • | | Environmental Sustainability — Real estate and infrastructure companies that, in the Investment Adviser’s view, facilitate environmental sustainability-driven demand drivers in areas including but not limited to utilities enabling energy transition, alternative energy producers, energy storage and grid services. |
| • | | Social Sustainability — Real estate and infrastructure companies that, in the Investment Adviser’s view, facilitate social sustainability-driven demand drivers in areas including but not limited to affordable housing, health care, education and waste management. |

• | | The Fund, which seeks long-term growth of capital, launched on September 14, 2021. |
• | | The Fund is an actively managed ETF; it is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. |
• | | The Fund intends to invest in technology companies the Investment Adviser believes are driving technological innovation or benefiting from the enablement of technology and have the potential to grow their business over many years. |

| | |
| | Market Price1 | | $ | 32.00 | |
| | Net Asset Value (NAV)1 | | $ | 32.05 | |
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. |

| | Shares | | | -19.94 | % | | | -20.06 | % | | | -12.88 | % |
2 | | 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 at 4:00 pm EST and do not reflect the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |
3 | | The MSCI ACWI Growth Index captures large and mid cap securities exhibiting overall growth style characteristics across 23 Developed Markets (DM) countries and 27 Emerging Markets (EM) countries. The growth investment style characteristics for index construction are defined using five variables: long-term forward EPS growth rate, short-term forward EPS growth rate current internal growth rate and long-term historical EPS growth trend and long-term historical sales per share growth trend. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund is newly incepted and does not have a track record.

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”).

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 Future Consumer Equity ETF* | | Non-Diversified |
Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF* | | Non-Diversified |
Goldman Sachs Future Planet Equity ETF | | Non-Diversified |
Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF* | | Non-Diversified |
Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF** | | Non-Diversified |
* | | Commenced operations on November 9, 2021 |

The investment objective of each Fund (except the Goldman Sachs Future Planet Equity ETF) is to seek long-term growth of capital. The investment objective of the Goldman Sachs Future Planet Equity ETF is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
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”). Market prices 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 generally for a designated portfolio of securities (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted) and a specified amount of cash. 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. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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 torecover 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.

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/or pro-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 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 level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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 day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’
38

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 will be valued at the valid closing bid price for long positions and at the valid closing ask price for short positions (i.e. where there is sufficient volume, during normal exchange trading hours). If no valid bid/ask price is available, the equity security will be valued pursuant to the Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. 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. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be 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 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. Underlying Funds are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that underlying ETFs 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.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2022:

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 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 Fund, excluding payments under a 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 six months ended February 28, 2022, contractual and effective net unitary management fee rates with GSAM for each Fund were at the following rates:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Unitary Management Fee | |
Future Consumer Equity ETF | | | | | 0.75 | % |
Future Health Care Equity ETF | | | | | 0.75 | % |
Future Planet Equity ETF | | | | | 0.75 | % |
Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF | | | | | 0.75 | % |

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.

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 invested 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.

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 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, 2021, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Both the Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended February 28, 2022, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
The following table provides information about the Funds’ investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2022:

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
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 and prior year, 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.
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 U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards, and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or problems with 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, or economically tied to, 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.
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.
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). The value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact a Fund and its investments.
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

9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.
Non-Diversification Risk — The Funds are non-diversified, meaning that they are permitted to invest a larger percentage of their assets in one or more issuers or in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, a Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
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.
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.
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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
Each Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The Program seeks to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund is unable to satisfy redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has designated GSAM, each Fund’s investment adviser, to administer the Program. Certain aspects of the Program rely on third parties to perform certain functions, including the provision of market data and application of models.
The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of a Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4); (4) for a Fund that does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under Rule 22e-4), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that will generally be invested in highly liquid investments (a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum”); and (5) periodic reporting to the Board of Trustees.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on February 3-4, 2022, GSAM provided a written report to the Board addressing the operation, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation, of the Program, including, as applicable, the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum and any material changes to the Program, for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Reporting Period”). Among other things, the annual report discussed: (1) the results of stress tests designed to assess liquidity under a hypothetical stressed scenario involving elevated redemptions; (2) an assessment of the methodologies used to classify investments into one of four liquidity categories; (3) the efficiency of the arbitrage function during the Reporting Period; and (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to your Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which it may be subject.

Fund Expenses — Six Months Ended 2/28/2022 (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.
Except with respect to Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF, and Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF, which all commenced operations on November 9, 2021 and Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF, which commenced operations on September 14, 2021, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from September 1, 2021 and held for the six months ended February 28, 2022, which represents a period of 181 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF. (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity 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 September 14, 2021 (with respect to Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF) and November 9, 2021 (with respect to all other Funds). At meetings held on March 17, 2021 (with respect to Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF) and June 9, 2021 (with respect to all other Funds) (the “Meetings”) in connection with the Funds’ organizations, 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 Meetings, the Trustees reviewed the Management Agreement with respect to each 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 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 each Fund; and potential benefits to be derived by each Fund from its relationship with the Investment Adviser. Various information was also provided at prior meetings at which the Funds were discussed.
In connection with the Meetings, 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 Meetings, the Trustees relied upon information included in presentations made by the Investment Adviser at the Meetings 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 and non-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 significant resources that the Investment Adviser devotes to risk management and the control environment in which the Funds would operate, the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers would operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings and litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. The 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 an actively-managed ETF that seeks long-term growth of capital. 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 fundamental equity investment strategies. The Trustees also considered information regarding the Investment Adviser’s business continuity planning and remote operations in the current environment. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to commit substantial financial and operational resources to each Fund. 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF. (Unaudited) (continued)
Unitary Fee Structure and Profitability
The Trustees considered the unitary 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 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 non-advisory services directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as ETFs. The Trustees also considered information provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. The comparisons of each Fund’s 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 each Fund’s 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 fee 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, similar to many other ETFs, would not have management fee breakpoints. The Trustees considered each 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 Funds’ peer groups. The Trustees further noted the Investment Adviser’s assertion that future economies of scale (among several factors) had been taken into consideration in determining each Fund’s unitary management fee rate.
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 as stated above, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (d) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested; (e) 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 (f) 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 Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) 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; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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 with respect to each Fund for an initial two-year period from its effective date.
