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, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2023.
Market and Economic Review
• | | During the Reporting Period, the performance of the global fixed income markets was broadly influenced by central bank monetary policy, inflationary trends and higher interest rates. |
| • | | The broad global investment grade bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (gross, USD, hedged), returned -1.59%. |
| • | | The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, representing the broad U.S. fixed income market, returned -2.13%. |
• | | Inflation eased across most developed economies during the Reporting Period, though it remained at stubbornly high levels. |
| • | | In September 2022, when the Reporting Period began, inflationary pressures increased, with U.S. food and energy prices reaching a four-decade high amid ongoing supply and demand imbalances driven by geopolitical turmoil, including the Russia/Ukraine war, and COVID-19 outbreaks in China. |
| • | | Inflation moderated during the last months of 2022, as U.S. consumer price data surprised with lower than consensus anticipated levels and Europe benefited from falling energy prices. |
| • | | In early 2023, inflation continued to decline, but concerns reemerged in the wake of unexpectedly strong economic data — especially in the U.S. labor market. |
• | | Many central banks around the world tightened monetary policy during the Reporting Period in an effort to contain inflation. |
| • | | The People’s Bank of China was a notable exception, as its policymakers engaged in measured and selective easing to address economic growth headwinds from a property market downturn and COVID-19 restrictions in the country. In December, the Chinese government began to unwind its zero-COVID policies and finally lifted its stringent zero-COVID policy in January 2023. |
• | | The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) continued its aggressive interest rate hikes but tempered its pace of tightening toward the end of the Reporting Period. |
| • | | In September 2022, the Fed raised the targeted federal funds (“fed funds”) rate 75 basis points to a range of 3.00% to 3.25%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) |
| • | | In October, Fed officials began to contend that inflation would likely decline in the upcoming months should demand weaken and supply-chain issues soften as policymakers anticipated. However, they also suggested they would end their current tightening cycle with short-term interest rates at a higher level than many market participants had expected. |
| • | | In early November, the Fed raised the fed funds rate by another 75 basis points. |
| • | | Policymakers stepped down the pace of their rate hikes in mid-December, lifting the fed funds rate by 50 basis points, but emphasized they were not stepping back from their efforts to tame inflation. |
| • | | On February 1, 2023, the Fed noted the improving inflation picture when it announced its comparatively smaller interest rate hike of 25 basis points but indicated that ongoing rate hikes would likely be “appropriate.” |
• | | For the Reporting Period overall, U.S. Treasury yields rose across the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, with shorter-term U.S. Treasury yields rising significantly more than intermediate- and longer-term U.S. Treasury yields. |
| • | | The U.S. Treasury yield curve was inverted between two-year and 10-year maturities throughout the Reporting Period. When the yield curve is inverted, two-year yields are higher than 10-year yields. (Historically, an inverted U.S. Treasury yield curve often precedes an economic recession.) |
1
MARKET REVIEW
• | | Most non-government bond sectors outperformed U.S. Treasuries during the Reporting Period, led by U.S. high yield corporate bonds and emerging markets debt, each sector posting positive absolute returns overall. U.S. investment grade corporate bonds and securitized bonds, including mortgage-backed securities, posted negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period but still outperformed U.S. Treasuries. Treasury inflation protected securities underperformed U.S. Treasuries during the Reporting Period, as inflation levels, though persistently high, declined. |
Fund Changes and Highlights
No material changes were made to the Funds during the Reporting Period.

| | |
| | Market Price1 | | $ | 39.97 | |
| | Net Asset Value (NAV)1 | | $ | 40.04 | |
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. |

| | September 1, 2022–February 28, 2023 | | Fund Total Return (based on NAV)2 | | | Fund Total Return (based on Market Price)2 | | | FTSE Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets USD Bond Index | |
| | Shares | | | 1.79 | % | | | 2.72 | % | | | 2.21 | % |
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 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.

Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF (“Access Ultra Short Bond ETF”) | | | | Diversified |
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. 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. For treasury inflation indexed securities, adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost. During the six months ended February 28, 2023, the Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF recorded net negative interest income primarily as a result of premium amortization exceeding accrued interest income. For derivative contracts, unrealized gains and losses are recorded daily and become realized gains and losses upon disposition or termination 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 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. With respect to a Fund’s investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has 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:
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. 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.
i. Commercial Paper — Commercial paper normally represents short-term unsecured promissory notes issued in bearer form by banks or bank holding companies, corporations, finance companies and other issuers. Commercial paper consists of direct U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of domestic or foreign issuers. Asset-backed commercial paper is issued by a special purpose entity that is organized to issue the commercial paper and to purchase trade receivables or other financial assets.
ii. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real estate property. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of other assets or receivables. The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers.
Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral.
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all interest payments (interest-only, or “IO” and/or high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all principal payments (principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income.
iii. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities — TIPS are treasury securities in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
iv. When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments — When-issued securities, including TBA (“To Be Announced”) securities, are securities that are authorized but not yet issued in the market and purchased in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield to a Fund. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Although a Fund will generally purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of when-issued securities or forward commitments prior to settlement, which may result in a realized gain or loss. 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 Statement(s) of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on other investments. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Money Market 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 Money Market Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Money Market 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
109

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 either due to broker/receivable for collateral on certain derivative 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.
i. Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.
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 the Valuation Procedures. 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, 2023:

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, 2023, contractual and effective net unitary management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Contractual Unitary Management Fee | | | Effective Net Unitary Management Fee* | |
Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF | | | | | 0.45 | % | | | 0.02 | % |

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.

Such open tax year remains subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)
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. Such market rates are generally the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank, the Federal Funds Rate, or another base lending rate used by commercial lenders. 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.
At the end of 2021, certain LIBORs were discontinued, but the most widely used LIBORs may continue to be provided on a representative basis until June, 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 from problems in 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 a Fund’s liquidity and performance. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency exchange 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. A Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in connection with the type and extent of certain monetary policy changes made by the Federal Reserve, such as target interest rate changes. 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. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. 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. A sudden or unpredictable increase in interest rates may cause volatility in the market and may decrease the liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which would make it harder for the Fund to sell its investments at an advantageous time.
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
118
GOLDMAN SACHS ACCESS FIXED INCOME ETFS
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 Emerging Markets USD Bond Index is new and has 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. To the extent a Fund engages in cash redemptions, then liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). 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 2, 2023, 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, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (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; (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions; and (5) the impact of geopolitical, market and economic developments and events on liquidity and liquidity risk. 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.

Background
The Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF, 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, 2023 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 19-20, 2022 (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 four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2021. At those Committee meetings, 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”), benchmark performance indices and (except for the Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF) a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser; 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 extensive investment performance and expense comparison data (except for the Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF, which commenced operations in 2022) provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for 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. |
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 transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, 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. 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 (except the Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF) to its peers using rankings and/or ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2022, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser for each Fund using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of June 30, 2022. 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 respective index (except for the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF), a comparable market capitalization-weighted reference index, and/or a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser, 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 the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF’s performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF’s risk profile, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees noted that Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF had launched in 2022 and did not yet have a meaningful performance history.
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 particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds (except for the Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF). The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. 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 Funds’ fee rates and expense ratios 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 provided by the Outside Data Provider and the Investment Adviser were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement management fee waivers for the Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF, Goldman Sachs Access Treasury 0-1 Year ETF, Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF and Goldman Sachs Access U.S. Aggregate 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 for the Goldman Sachs Access Ultra Short Bond ETF).
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s (except for the Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF) 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. Profitability data for the Funds was provided for 2021 and 2020 (except for the Goldman Sachs Access Emerging Markets USD Bond ETF and 2021 only for the Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate 1-5 Year Bond ETF and Goldman Sachs Access U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF). The Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
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 information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to 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; (e) the investment of cash in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money market 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) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing and pricing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (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. They considered the competitive nature of the ETF

marketplace, noting that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
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, 2023.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended 2/28/2023 (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.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from September 1, 2022 and held for the entire six months ended February 28, 2023, 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.

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, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2023.
Market and Economic Review
U.S. Equities
• | | Overall, U.S. equities rose during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of 1.26%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 1.51%. |
• | | The market posted muted returns during the Reporting Period amid a backdrop of ongoing Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hikes to combat inflation, persistent recession worries, supply-chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions given the Russia/Ukraine war, and elevated concerns around China’s zero-COVID policy. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2022, the S&P 500 Index decreased primarily based on the noticeable tightening of financial conditions guided by expectations for a more aggressive global interest rate hiking cycle. Indeed, the Fed increased its “raise and hold” messaging as the end of September approached, a policy that received support on the back of higher than consensus expected August core inflation data and a still-tight labor market that showed only moderate signs of cooling off. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2022, the S&P 500 Index solidly increased, breaking its streak of three consecutive quarterly losses, attributable primarily to gains in October and November. |
| • | | Investors continued to witness a variety of contradictory macroeconomic developments, highlighted by a noticeably hawkish Fed, consumer resilience, and economic data supporting the themes of slowing economic growth. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) |
| • | | There was a dovish tilt surrounding consensus expectations for a reduction in the pace of monetary policy tightening, which was realized when the Fed announced a 50 basis point interest rate hike in December, following four successive 75 basis point increases. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) |
| • | | Positive inflation developments further supported market aspirations for a peak in the Fed tightening cycle, with October and November inflation data coming in lower than anticipated by most. |
| • | | Despite the smaller interest rate hike, the Fed maintained its hawkish tone with its relentless higher-for-longer messaging that continued to be a headwind for the U.S. equities market. |
| • | | Although the third quarter 2022 corporate earnings season provided disappointing results, companies emphasized a strong demand environment even against a backdrop of heightened macroeconomic uncertainty. Companies also focused on cost-cutting measures, as headlines of layoffs remained in the spotlight, especially within the information technology sector. |
| • | | On the geopolitical front, the most constructive takeaways came from China’s zero-COVID pivot and pro-growth focus as well as Europe’s warmer than anticipated weather that helped settle concerns about an energy crisis there. |
• | | The S&P 500 Index rose in January 2023, rebounding from December 2022’s losses, gaining on a combination of heightened optimism around disinflationary signals, a cooling job market, positive reports about China’s economic reopening, better than consensus forecasted economic circumstances in Europe, improvements in supply-chain conditions and elevated hopes for the termination of the Fed’s tightening cycle. Collectively, these themes provided a strong case for the Fed’s soft landing scenario and the avoidance of a deep recession resulting from interest rate hikes. (A soft landing, in economics, is a cyclical downturn that avoids recession. It typically describes attempts by central banks to raise interest rates just enough to stop an economy from overheating and experiencing high inflation, without causing a significant increase in unemployment, or a hard landing.) |
1
MARKET REVIEW
• | | However, the S&P 500 Index then fell again in February 2023, giving back a portion of the prior month’s gains. |
| • | | U.S. equities depreciated as the market’s modified Fed interest rate hike expectations and resilient economic data prompted a reduction in the progress of disinflation and heightened traction around several bearish themes. (Bearish refers to an expected downward movement in the prices of securities.) |
| • | | Early in February, the Fed raised the targeted federal funds rate by another 25 basis points as expected, and its accompanying statement seemed dovish. Still, Fed Chair Powell’s subsequent statement that further rate hikes will be necessary if economic data continues to come in stronger than expected shifted the Fed narrative more hawkish. |
• | | During the Reporting Period overall, value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks within the large-cap and small-cap segments of the U.S. equity market, though growth stocks outpaced value stocks within the mid-cap segment. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period were materials, industrials, energy and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were utilities, consumer discretionary, real estate and communication services. |
International Equities
• | | Representing the developed international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) returned 12.58% for the Reporting Period, significantly outperforming the U.S. equity market. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2022, international equity markets declined, weighed down by heightened inflationary pressures, aggressive global interest rate hikes, recession concerns and the rampant spread of COVID-19. |
| • | | Europe additionally battled an energy crisis and subsequent mobile network blackouts, which, in turn, put upward pressure on power costs and inflation and supported the need to keep interest rates high. The European Central Bank raised interest rates during the month, increasing concerns around slowing economic growth and leading to the depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar. |
• | | International equities then rallied across the major regions in the fourth quarter of 2022 overall. Markets remained volatile and under pressure from macroeconomic headwinds, including inflationary pressures and interest rate hikes. However, investors began to focus on improving inflationary indicators across the globe, and increased confidence the U.S. Fed could pull off a soft economic landing allowed both U.S. and international equities to rally. |
| • | | In Europe, equities benefited from resilient third quarter 2022 corporate earnings reports as well as from optimism that the pace of interest rate increases could soon slow. Economic activity showed signs of a rebound in December following the inflation peak in October. Thus, although Europe remained in a recession, optimism that the recession would not be as deep as initially feared grew during the last weeks of the calendar year. |
| • | | In Japan, the yen continued to weaken against the U.S. dollar, especially in the first half of October, and Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda remained downbeat on the sustainability of inflation numbers into 2023, citing the negative output gap in particular, and kept its interest rates low. |
| • | | Asia ex-Japan equities were flat in October, pressured by sharp sell-offs in China and Hong Kong following confirmation that Chinese Premier Xi Jinping would remain as leader for a historic third five-year term. But increasing indications that China was prepared to stray from some of its more restrictive COVID-19 procedures resulted in stronger Asia ex-Japan equities in November, even as fears of an economic slowdown within China persisted. Indeed, in December, China began to relax its zero-COVID policies in an ongoing effort to boost its economy through increased domestic spending and international travel. Investors responded positively to this news despite the near-term surge in COVID-19 cases in China caused by the re-opening. |
• | | The MSCI EAFE Index posted solid positive returns in January 2023, with international equity markets performing well on the back of expectations around peaking inflation in the U.S. and Europe, slowing central bank interest rate hikes, and receding concerns about recession. |
| • | | China finally lifted its stringent zero-COVID policy, increasing global hopes around the resolution of supply-chain disruptions and economic recovery driven by stronger domestic consumption and improved international tourism. |
2
MARKET REVIEW
| • | | In contrast to the U.S. and Europe, Japan’s inflation rate rose in January. However, the Bank of Japan reiterated its commitment to keep its monetary policy accommodative. |
• | | The MSCI EAFE Index then fell in February 2023, with market sentiment governed by dampening expectations around potential peaking of interest rate hikes and ongoing geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, as the war there marked a one-year milestone. Also weighing on investor sentiment was a re-escalation in U.S./China tensions. Inflation levels were relatively stable across Europe, but Japan saw its highest level of inflation in the last 40 years. |
• | | All sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index posted positive total returns during the Reporting Period. The best performing sectors within the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were financials, materials, consumer discretionary and industrials, each posting a double-digit positive total return. The weakest performing sectors were real estate, communication services, consumer staples and health care. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI EAFE Index were Austria, Italy, Spain and Germany. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were Israel and Norway, the only two MSCI EAFE Index constituents to post a negative absolute total return during the Reporting Period. Portugal and Hong Kong each generated a modestly positive total return but still significantly lagged the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. |
Emerging Markets Equities
• | | Representing the emerging markets equity markets, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) returned -2.29% 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 2022, emerging markets equities as a whole posted double-digit negative returns, as central bank interest rate hikes and recession concerns triggered large outflows. |
| • | | Inflation remained top of mind for investors, as central banks in Europe, Asia and South America announced plans to raise interest rates during the following 12 months in an effort to get ahead of rising consumer prices. |
| • | | The Chinese equity market fell especially significantly. An overleveraged housing market and falling home prices, coupled with the yuan falling to its lowest levels since January 2008, triggered monetary outflows from the Chinese economy. Most impactfully, China’s zero-COVID policy weakened domestic levels of supply and demand, contributing to falling export levels. |
| • | | Elsewhere in Asia, India’s equity market fell but outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, while South Korea’s equity market underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index given the lack of global demand, especially from China, for Korean goods, which caused high levels of volatility in the Korean exports market. |
| • | | In Latin America, the Brazilian equity market fell but outpaced the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as Brazil’s central bank paused its cycle of interest rate hikes, becoming the first notable economy in the world to do so. |
• | | Emerging markets equities then rallied in the fourth quarter of 2022 overall, attributable primarily to a strong November 2022. |
| • | | In October 2022, emerging markets equities as a whole fell, as economies struggled to deal with high inflation, major transitions of political power, and contractionary central bank policy. The MSCI China Index was particularly weak, as lockdowns continued to place several cities under COVID-19 restrictions and the closely-watched China’s 20th Party Congress offered no signal to investors this strategy would change in the near future. South Korea’s and Brazil’s equity markets rose, driven by stronger exports. |
| • | | November 2022 was a strong month for emerging markets equities, as softer U.S. inflation and expectations of a recovery in Chinese demand brightened the outlook for the emerging markets universe. The slowing frequency of interest rate hikes from central banks and strong consumer activity across a number of emerging markets also strengthened returns for several country constituents of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI China Index rallied strongly. The MSCI India Index was also strong, but the MSCI Brazil Index fell as political friction in the country’s new presidential administration hampered the speed of financial reforms, creating uncertainty amongst investors. |
| • | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell modestly in December 2022, as inflation concerns dominated. Still, the MSCI China Index rose, as China loosened its COVID-19 restrictions. |
3
MARKET REVIEW
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose in January 2023, as softer U.S. inflation and positive news around China’s full reopening post COVID-19 brightened the outlook for the emerging markets. The slowing frequency of interest rate hikes from central banks and strong consumer activity across several emerging markets also contributed positively to strengthened returns for several countries in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, including China and Brazil. India’s equity market fell, as Indian officials hinted at an upcoming economic slowdown and as a U.S.-based short-selling firm published a report on a conglomerate that sparked a broad-based sell-off. |
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets then fell in February 2023, reversing much of the gains from the prior month’s rally. A re-escalation in geopolitical tensions and stronger than consensus expected U.S. economic data challenged the path of the U.S. Fed’s interest rate policy, dampening hopes to a quick end to the interest rate hiking cycle. Following this, the U.S. dollar also strengthened, an additional headwind for emerging markets equities. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index were materials, information technology, communication services and consumer staples, the only sectors in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index to post a positive total return during the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were utilities, energy, consumer discretionary and health care. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period were Turkey, Greece, Mexico and Poland. The weakest performing countries were Qatar, Saudi Arabia, India and United Arab Emirates, each led down by weakness in the energy sector. |

The index provider for the reference index on which the Index is based may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of such reference index or the implementation of certain rules at its sole discretion. In such circumstances, the scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of the Index may likewise be delayed or changed. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |

The index provider for the reference index on which the Index is based may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of such reference index or the implementation of certain rules at its sole discretion. In such circumstances, the scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of the Index may likewise be delayed or changed. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |

| | Market Price1 | | $ | 58.61 | |
| | Net Asset Value (NAV)1 | | $ | 58.66 | |
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. |

| | September 1, 2022—February 28, 2023 | | Fund Total Return (based on NAV)2 | | | Fund Total Return (based on Market Price)2 | | | GS ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity Index3 | | | Russell 2000® Index4 | |
| | Shares | | | 5.77 | % | | | 5.59 | % | | | 5.92 | % | | | 3.63 | % |
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 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. |
3 | | The Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity Index (the “Index”) is designed to deliver exposure to equity securities of small capitalization U.S. issuers. The Index seeks to capture common sources of active equity returns, including value (i.e., how attractively a stock is priced relative to its “fundamentals”, such as book value or free cash flow), momentum (i.e., whether a company’s share price is trending up or down), quality (i.e., profitability) and low volatility (i.e., a relatively low degree of fluctuation in a company’s share price over time). The index provider for the reference index on which the Index is based may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of such reference index or the implementation of certain rules at its sole discretion. In such circumstances, the scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of the Index may likewise be delayed or changed. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
4 | | The Russell 2000® Index is an unmanaged index of common stock prices that measures the performance of the 2000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index. The Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased small-cap barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set. |
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.

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® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF (“ActiveBeta® U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF”) | | Diversified |
Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF (“ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus 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 and ActiveBeta® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF, which 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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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. 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, unrealized gains and losses are recorded daily and become realized gains and losses upon disposition or termination 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, with the exception of ActiveBeta® Europe Equity ETF and ActiveBeta® Japan Equity ETF, which are paid semiannually. 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;
102

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has 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 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 either due to broker/receivable for collateral on certain derivative 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,
103

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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.
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 the Valuation Procedures. 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, 2023:

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.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
For the six months ended February 28, 2023, 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® World Low Vol Plus Equity ETF | | | | | | | 0.25 | % |
For the six months ended February 28, 2023, 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, 2023, these expense reimbursements amounted to $450,589.

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

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, 2023, 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, 2023, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

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 and other similar instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) may result in loss, including due to adverse market movements. Derivatives, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other assets and instruments, may increase market exposure and be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying assets or instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Certain derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not, or lacks the capacity or authority to, fulfill its contractual obligations, liquidity risk, which includes the risk that the Funds will not be able to exit the derivative when it is advantageous to do so, and risks arising from margin requirements, which include the risk that the Funds will be required to pay additional margin or set aside additional collateral to maintain open derivative positions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves
114

|
10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 from problems in 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 a Fund’s liquidity and performance. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency exchange 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.
Geographic Risk — If a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were less focused, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that country or region, such as: adverse securities markets; adverse exchange rates; adverse social, political, regulatory, economic, business, environmental or other developments; or natural disasters.
Index Risk — GSAM (the “Index Provider”) constructs each Fund’s index (an “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.

10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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.
116
GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
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 2, 2023, 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, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (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; (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions; and (5) the impact of geopolitical, market and economic developments and events on liquidity and liquidity risk. 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® ETFs except Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets 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® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap 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, 2023 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 19-20, 2022 (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 four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2021. At those Committee meetings, 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 (except for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, which commenced operations in 2022), 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”), benchmark performance indices and a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser, 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 (except for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, which commenced operations in 2022) 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; |

| (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 transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, 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 (except for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, which commenced operations in 2022). In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and/or ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2022, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of June 30, 2022. 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 respective proprietary index, a comparable market capitalization-weighted reference index and a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies
119
GOLDMAN SACHS ACTIVEBETA® ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® ETFs except Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (Unaudited) (continued)
managed by the Investment Adviser, as applicable. The Trustees observed that each Fund’s investment performance was consistent with the investment objective of tracking its respective proprietary index.
The Trustees noted that Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF had launched on December 13, 2021 and did not yet have a meaningful performance history.
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 particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds (except for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF). The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. 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 Funds’ fee rates and expense ratios 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 provided by the Outside Data Provider and the Investment Adviser were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
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 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. Profitability data for the Funds was provided for 2021 and 2020 (2021 only for Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF). The Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
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, information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and information comparing the contractual management fee rate charged by other advisers to other funds in the 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 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) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested (except for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF); (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other
120

clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; (f) the investment of cash and cash collateral (except for the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta® Paris-Aligned Climate U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF) in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money market funds; and (g) 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) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing and pricing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (d) 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; (e) 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 (f) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. They considered the competitive nature of the ETF marketplace, noting that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
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, 2023.

123

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Fund. The analyses provided a comparison of the Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared the Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing the Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians.

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 limitations).
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.

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, information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, information comparing the contractual management fee rate charged by other advisers to other funds in the peer group, 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) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Fund’s securities lending cash collateral is invested; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (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; (f) the investment of cash and cash collateral in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money market funds; and (g) 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.

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 and held for the entire six-month period from September 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023, 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.

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, 2023 (the “Reporting Period” with the exception of the Defensive Equity Fund for which is being reported for the two months ended February 28, 2023). A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2023.
Market and Economic Review
• | | Overall, U.S. equities rose during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500® Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of 1.26%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 1.51%. |
• | | The market posted muted returns during the Reporting Period amid a backdrop of ongoing Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hikes to combat inflation, persistent recession worries, supply-chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions given the Russia/Ukraine war, and elevated concerns around China’s zero-COVID policy. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2022, the S&P 500® Index decreased primarily based on the noticeable tightening of financial conditions guided by expectations for a more aggressive global interest rate hiking cycle. Indeed, the Fed increased its “raise and hold” messaging as the end of September approached, a policy that received support on the back of higher than consensus expected August core inflation data and a still-tight labor market that showed only moderate signs of cooling off. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2022, the S&P 500® Index solidly increased, breaking its streak of three consecutive quarterly losses, attributable primarily to gains in October and November. |
| • | | Investors continued to witness a variety of contradictory macroeconomic developments, highlighted by a noticeably hawkish Fed, consumer resilience, and economic data supporting the themes of slowing economic growth. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) |
| • | | There was a dovish tilt surrounding consensus expectations for a reduction in the pace of monetary policy tightening, which was realized when the Fed announced a 50 basis point interest rate hike in December, following four successive 75 basis point increases. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) |
| • | | Positive inflation developments further supported market aspirations for a peak in the Fed tightening cycle, with October and November inflation data coming in lower than anticipated by most. |
| • | | Despite the smaller interest rate hike, the Fed maintained its hawkish tone with its relentless higher-for-longer messaging that continued to be a headwind for the U.S. equities market. |
| • | | Although the third quarter 2022 corporate earnings season provided disappointing results, companies emphasized a strong demand environment even against a backdrop of heightened macroeconomic uncertainty. Companies also focused on cost-cutting measures, as headlines of layoffs remained in the spotlight, especially within the information technology sector. |
| • | | On the geopolitical front, the most constructive takeaways came from China’s zero-COVID pivot and pro-growth focus as well as Europe’s warmer than anticipated weather that helped settle concerns about an energy crisis there. |
• | | The S&P 500® Index rose in January 2023, rebounding from December 2022’s losses, gaining on a combination of heightened optimism around disinflationary signals, a cooling job market, positive reports about China’s economic reopening, better than consensus forecasted economic circumstances in Europe, improvements in supply-chain conditions and elevated hopes for the termination of the Fed’s tightening cycle. Collectively, these themes provided a strong case for the Fed’s soft landing scenario and the avoidance of a deep recession resulting from interest rate hikes. (A soft landing, in economics, is a cyclical downturn that avoids recession. It typically describes attempts by central banks to raise interest rates just enough to stop an economy from overheating and experiencing high inflation, without causing a significant increase in unemployment, or a hard landing.) |
• | | However, the S&P 500® Index then fell again in February 2023, giving back a portion of the prior month’s gains. |
1
MARKET REVIEW
| • | | U.S. equities depreciated as the market’s modified Fed interest rate hike expectations and resilient economic data prompted a reduction in the progress of disinflation and heightened traction around several bearish themes. (Bearish refers to an expected downward movement in the prices of securities.) |
| • | | Early in February, the Fed raised the targeted federal funds rate by another 25 basis points as expected, and its accompanying statement seemed dovish. Still, Fed Chair Powell’s subsequent statement that further rate hikes will be necessary if economic data continues to come in stronger than expected shifted the Fed narrative more hawkish. |
• | | During the Reporting Period overall, value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks within the large-cap and small-cap segments of the U.S. equity market, though growth stocks outpaced value stocks within the mid-cap segment. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the S&P 500® Index during the Reporting Period were materials, industrials, energy and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were utilities, consumer discretionary, real estate and communication services. |
Fund Changes and Highlights
Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF
• | | The Fund, which seeks long-term growth of capital with lower volatility than equity markets, launched on January 23, 2023. Before the Fund commenced operations, the assets of another investment company advised by the Investment Adviser, Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund (the “predecessor fund”), were transferred to the Fund in a tax-free reorganization on January 20, 2023. |
• | | 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 invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of the S&P 500® Index at the time of investment and other instruments with similar economic exposures. |
• | | In addition, the Fund uses an options-based overlay strategy in an effort to provide lower volatility and enhanced downside protection. |
| • | | Specifically, the Fund employs a “put spread collar” overlay strategy whereby the Fund simultaneously purchases a near-the-money put while selling (writing) an out-of-the-money call and put on the S&P 500® Index or other national or regional stock market indices (or ETFs that seek to track such indices). |
| • | | The difference between strike prices in the put option spread is designed to provide the Fund with downside protection to the extent of the difference between the strike prices of the near-the-money put option bought and the out-of-the-money put option sold. |
| • | | A put option is an option contract that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price within a specified time. |
| • | | A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date. |
| • | | “Near-the-money” is a term used to describe an options contract with a strike price that is close to the market price of the underlying asset. “Out-of-the-money” is a term used to describe a put option with a strike price that is lower than the market price of the underlying asset. |
2
MARKET REVIEW
• | | As the seller of S&P 500® Index call and put options, the Fund will receive cash (the “premium”) from the purchaser. If the purchaser exercises the call option, the Fund pays the purchaser the difference between the price of the index and the exercise price of the option. If the purchaser exercises the put option, the Fund pays the purchaser the difference between the exercise price of the option and the price of the index. The premium, the exercise price and the market price of the index determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of call and put options. |
• | | During the period from January 1, 2023 through February 28, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”), the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index. |
• | | The Fund’s relative underperformance was driven by its equity strategy, which aims to pick defensive stocks, and its options-based overlay strategy. |
• | | Within the Fund’s equity strategy, stock selection detracted overall from relative performance. |
| • | | In terms of market capitalization, selection among small-cap equities hampered the Fund’s returns. |
| • | | On a sector level, stock selection within consumer discretionary detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance. These results were offset somewhat by stock selection in the information technology sector and an underweight versus the benchmark in the energy sector, both of which contributed positively. |
• | | As for the options-based overlay strategy, the Fund was hurt by its short call positions within the put spread collar, which limited the Fund’s upside participation as the S&P 500® Index appreciated during the Reporting Period. |

| | |
| | Market Price1 | | $ | 37.22 | |
| | Net Asset Value (NAV)1 | | $ | 37.16 | |
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. |

| * | | On January 23, 2023, the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF acquired the assets and liabilities, and assumed the NAV, performance, financial and other historical information, of the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), an open-end mutual fund that had operated since September 30, 2020. The Fund’s performance prior to January 23, 2023 is linked to the Predecessor Fund’s Institutional Class Shares. There were no changes to the investment strategy or objective of the Fund. The Fund was listed on the NYSE Arca on January 23, 2023. Market Price performance is from January 23, 2023 through February 28, 2023. |
| 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. |
| 3 | | The S&P 500® Index is the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index of 500 stocks, an unmanaged index of common stock prices. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index. |
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)
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 |
Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF* | | Diversified |
* | | The Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF commenced operations on January 23, 2023. |
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation previously approved by the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust, the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) was reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF (the “Acquiring Fund”) (the “Reorganization”) as of the close of business on January 23, 2023 (the “Closing Date”).
Following the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund’s performance (Institutional Class Shares) and financial history were adopted by the Acquiring Fund. In connection with the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund (except as noted below) received shares of the surviving Acquiring Fund equal in value to the number of shares of the Acquired Fund they owned on the Closing Date, including a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund, which cash payment might have been taxable. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund who held their shares through a fund direct individual retirement account and did not take action prior to the Reorganization had their Acquired Fund shares exchanged for shares of Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund equal in value to their Acquired Fund shares. The Acquiring Fund has the same investment adviser, investment objective and fundamental investment policies and substantially similar investment strategies as the Acquired Fund. Effective as of the close of business on the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund ceased operations in connection with the consummation of its Reorganization.
Costs incurred by the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund associated with the Reorganization (including the legal costs associated with the Reorganization) were borne by the Adviser by waiving fees or reimbursing expenses to offset the costs incurred by the Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund associated with the Reorganization, including any brokerage fees and expenses incurred by the Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund related to the disposition and acquisition of assets as part of the Reorganization. Brokerage fees and expenses related to the disposition and acquisition of assets (including any disposition to raise cash to pay redemption proceeds) that were incurred in the ordinary course of business were borne by the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund. The management fee of the Acquiring Fund is slightly higher than the Acquired Fund, but the Acquiring Fund employs a unitary fee structure pursuant to which GSAM bears all operating expenses of the Fund, subject to limited exceptions, and thus is expected to result in a lower net expense ratio than each share class of the Acquired Fund. The Reorganization did not result in the material change to the Acquired Fund’s portfolio holdings. There are no material differences in accounting policies of the Acquired Fund as compared to those of the Acquiring Fund.
The Acquiring Fund did not purchase or sell securities following the Reorganization for purposes of realigning its investment portfolio. Accordingly, the Reorganization of the Acquired Fund did not affect the corresponding Acquiring Fund’s portfolio turnover ratio for the period ended February 28, 2023.
The investment objective of each Fund (except Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF) is to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its respective Index. The Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF seeks long-term growth of capital with lower volatility than equity markets.

1. ORGANIZATION (continued) |
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 Hedge Industry VIP ETF, Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Defensive 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 with respect to Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF, semi-annually with respect to Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF, and annually for Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF and Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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. With respect to the Funds’ investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has 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 and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value
58

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Money Market 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 Money Market Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Money Market 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 either due to broker/receivable for collateral on certain derivative 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.
ii. Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
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 the Valuation Procedures. 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.

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, 2023, contractual and effective net unitary management fee rates with GSAM for each Fund were at the following rates:
| | | | |
Fund | | | | Unitary Management Fee |
Goldman Sachs Bloomberg Clean Energy Equity ETF | | | | 0.45% |
Goldman Sachs Equal Weight U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF | | | | 0.09% |
Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF | | | | 0.45% |
Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF | | | | 0.50% |
Goldman Sachs Just U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF | | | | 0.20% |
Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF(1) | | | | 0.55% |
(1) | | For the period January 23, 2023 through Feb 28, 2023. Prior to January 23, 2023 the effective management rate and net management rate for the Acquired Fund with GSAM was 0.53% and 0.52%, respectively. |
B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — Prior to January 23, 2023, the Goldman Sachs Trust, on behalf of Class A Shares of the Acquired Fund, had adopted a Distribution and Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, Goldman Sachs, which served as distributor (the “Distributor”), was entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Acquired Fund, as set forth below.
Prior to January 23, 2023, the Goldman Sachs Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of the Acquired Fund, had adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs as Distributor was entitled to a

|
5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees were equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Acquired Fund, as set forth below.
| | | | |
| | Distribution and/or Service Plan |
| | |
| | Class A* | | Class C |
Distribution and/or Service Plan | | 0.25% | | 0.75% |
* | | With respect to Class A Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution and /or Service Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Prior to January 23, 2023, Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Acquired Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, could retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the period January 1, 2023 to January 22, 2023, Goldman Sachs did not retain any front end sales charges.
D. Service Plan — Prior to January 23, 2023, the Goldman Sachs Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, had adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provided for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Funds.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Prior to January 23, 2023, Goldman Sachs also served as the transfer agent of the Acquiree Fund for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services were accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.16% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares of the Acquired Fund and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — Prior to January 23, 2023, GSAM had agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), 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 Acquired Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, were accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Acquired Fund was not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Acquired Fund was 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations remained in place until January 23, 2023. In addition, the Acquired Fund had entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may resulted in a reduction of the Acquired Fund’s expenses and were received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the period January 1, 2023 to January 22, 2023, these Other Expense reimbursements were $74,198.

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 cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, were 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

8. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
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, 2023, 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, 2023, 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, 2023:

9. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of February 28, 2023, 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 | | | Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 9,739,456 | | | $ | 517,837,333 | | | $ | 125,491,756 | | | $ | 353,469,983 | | | $ | 241,761,876 | | | $ | 5,937,748 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 541,567 | | | | 49,591,949 | | | | 10,970,769 | | | | 560,515,079 | | | | 46,515,783 | | | | 163,453 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (1,005,522 | ) | | | (55,277,811 | ) | | | (8,086,374 | ) | | | (587,642,532 | ) | | | (18,176,883 | ) | | | (336,417 | ) |
Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities | | $ | (463,955 | ) | | $ | (5,685,862 | ) | | $ | 2,884,395 | | | $ | (27,127,453 | ) | | $ | 28,338,900 | | | $ | (172,964 | ) |
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, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated options, 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 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:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives and other similar instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) may result in loss, including due to adverse market movements. Derivatives, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other assets and instruments, may increase market exposure and be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying assets or instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Certain derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not, or lacks the capacity or authority to, fulfill its contractual obligations, liquidity risk, which includes the risk that the Funds will not be able to exit the derivative when it is advantageous to do so, and risks arising from margin requirements, which include the risk that the Funds will be required to pay additional margin or set aside additional collateral to maintain open derivative positions. 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

GOLDMAN SACHS EQUITY ETFS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

|
10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 a Fund’s liquidity and performance. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency exchange 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 (each Fund except Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF) — 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.
72
GOLDMAN SACHS EQUITY ETFS
|
10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF) 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 (each Fund except Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity 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.
Mergers and Reorganizations — Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (a “Reorganization Agreement”) between the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), and the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF (the “Survivor Fund”), as of the close of business on January 23, 2023, all of the assets and liabilities of the Institutional Class Shares of the Acquired Fund were transferred to the Survivor Fund in exchange for shares of the Survivor Fund having an aggregate NAV equal to the NAV of such Acquired Fund as of the time of valuation specified in the applicable Reorganization Agreement, which were then distributed to shareholders of record of such Acquired Fund in a tax-free exchange (the “Reorganization”) as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Acquired Fund/Survivor Fund | | Exchanged Shares of Survivor Fund Issued | | | Value of Exchanged Shares | | | Acquired Fund’s Shares Outstanding as of January 22, 2023 | |

The following chart shows Survivor Fund’s and Acquired Fund’s aggregate net assets (immediately before and after the completion of the acquisition) and the Acquired Fund’s unrealized depreciation:

Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund, Institutional Class/Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF | | | — | | | $ | 5,398,399 | | | $ | 5,398,399 | | | $ | (339,771 | ) | | $ | 129,676 | |
(1) | | The Survivor Fund has elected to carry forward the assets of the Acquired Fund at the Acquired Fund’s historical cost basis for purposes of measuring unrealized depreciation and future realized gain or loss of those acquired assets. |
(2) | | Represents Capital Loss Carryforward of Acquired Fund as of December 31, 2022. |
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023, the Survivor Fund’s pro-forma results of operations for the year ended February 28, 2023 are as follows:
| | | | |
Net investment income | | $ | 9,914 | |
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments | | $ | 20,647 | |
Net increase in net assets from operations | | $ | 30,561 | |
Because the combined Survivor Fund has been managed as a single integrated fund since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Survivor Fund’s Statement of Operations since January 23, 2023.
On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. Certain Funds have limited exposure to SVB Financial Group, the former parent company of SVB (“SVB Financial”). On March 17, 2023, SVB Financial filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief. As a result, the Funds’ holdings of securities issued by SVB Financial have been valued to reflect the current market environment. Management is continuing to monitor these developments.
Other than the above, 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 2, 2023, 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, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (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; and (5) the impact of geopolitical, market and economic developments and events on liquidity and liquidity risk. 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 2/28/2023 (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 Defensive Equity ETF, whose prior fiscal year end was December 31, 2022, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from September 1, 2022 and held for the six months ended February 28, 2023, 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 EQUITY ETFS
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, 2023 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 meetings held on September 19-20, 2022 (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 four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2021. At those Committee meetings, 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 benchmark performance indices; 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 |

| (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 transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, 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, 2022, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of June 30, 2022. 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 respective index, a comparable market capitalization-weighted reference index, and/or a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed the Investment Adviser, 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.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. 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 Funds’ fee rates and expense ratios 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 provided by the Outside Data Provider and the Investment Adviser were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
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 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. Profitability data for the Funds was provided for 2021 and 2020. The Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
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, information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and information comparing the contractual management fee rate charged by other advisers to other funds in the 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 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) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which certain Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to

leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (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; (f) the investment of cash and cash collateral in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money market funds; and (g) 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) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing and pricing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (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. They considered the competitive nature of the ETF marketplace, noting that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
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, 2023.

Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity ETF (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs ETF Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on January 23, 2023. At a meeting held on September 19-20, 2022 (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 also approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund, a series of Goldman Sachs Trust managed by the Investment Adviser, would be reorganized with and into the Fund, an open-end management investment company operating as an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”).
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 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 developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, 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 an actively managed ETF that seeks long-term growth of capital with lower volatility than equity markets. 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 investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. 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 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.
Investment Performance
Because the Fund was anticipated to commence operations by acquiring the assets of the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund, and the Fund was to be the accounting survivor to the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund, the Trustees were provided with performance information for the Goldman Sachs Defensive Equity Fund.

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 also considered information provided regarding fees and expenses of comparable ETFs advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms, as well as the Fund’s peer group and category medians. The comparisons of the Fund’s unitary management fee rate and projected expense ratio were prepared by the Investment Adviser and a third-party provider of mutual fund and ETF data. In particular, the Trustees referred to an analysis comparing the Fund’s unitary management fee rate and projected expense ratio to those of relevant peer funds. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons were useful in evaluating the 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. 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 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 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 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 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, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”). A fuller review will appear in the Funds’ annual shareholder report covering the 12 months ended August 31, 2023.
Market and Economic Review
U.S. Equities
• | | Overall, U.S. equities rose during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of 1.26%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 1.51%. |
• | | The market posted muted returns during the Reporting Period amid a backdrop of ongoing Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hikes to combat inflation, persistent recession worries, supply-chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions given the Russia/Ukraine war, and elevated concerns around China’s zero-COVID policy. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2022, the S&P 500 Index decreased primarily based on the noticeable tightening of financial conditions guided by expectations for a more aggressive global interest rate hiking cycle. Indeed, the Fed increased its “raise and hold” messaging as the end of September approached, a policy that received support on the back of higher than consensus expected August core inflation data and a still-tight labor market that showed only moderate signs of cooling off. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2022, the S&P 500 Index solidly increased, breaking its streak of three consecutive quarterly losses, attributable primarily to gains in October and November. |
| • | | Investors continued to witness a variety of contradictory macroeconomic developments, highlighted by a noticeably hawkish Fed, consumer resilience, and economic data supporting the themes of slowing economic growth. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) |
| • | | There was a dovish tilt surrounding consensus expectations for a reduction in the pace of monetary policy tightening, which was realized when the Fed announced a 50 basis point interest rate hike in December, following four successive 75 basis point increases. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) |
| • | | Positive inflation developments further supported market aspirations for a peak in the Fed tightening cycle, with October and November inflation data coming in lower than anticipated by most. |
| • | | Despite the smaller interest rate hike, the Fed maintained its hawkish tone with its relentless higher-for-longer messaging that continued to be a headwind for the U.S. equities market. |
| • | | Although the third quarter 2022 corporate earnings season provided disappointing results, companies emphasized a strong demand environment even against a backdrop of heightened macroeconomic uncertainty. Companies also focused on cost-cutting measures, as headlines of layoffs remained in the spotlight, especially within the information technology sector. |
| • | | On the geopolitical front, the most constructive takeaways came from China’s zero-COVID pivot and pro-growth focus as well as Europe’s warmer than anticipated weather that helped settle concerns about an energy crisis there. |
• | | The S&P 500 Index rose in January 2023, rebounding from December 2022’s losses, gaining on a combination of heightened optimism around disinflationary signals, a cooling job market, positive reports about China’s economic reopening, better than consensus forecasted economic circumstances in Europe, improvements in supply-chain conditions and elevated hopes for the termination of the Fed’s tightening cycle. Collectively, these themes provided a strong case for the Fed’s soft landing scenario and the avoidance of a deep recession resulting from interest rate hikes. (A soft landing, in economics, is a cyclical downturn that avoids recession. It typically describes attempts by central banks to raise interest rates just enough to stop an economy from overheating and experiencing high inflation, without causing a significant increase in unemployment, or a hard landing.) |
1
MARKET REVIEW
• | | However, the S&P 500 Index then fell again in February 2023, giving back a portion of the prior month’s gains. |
| • | | U.S. equities depreciated as the market’s modified Fed interest rate hike expectations and resilient economic data prompted a reduction in the progress of disinflation and heightened traction around several bearish themes. (Bearish refers to an expected downward movement in the prices of securities.) |
| • | | Early in February, the Fed raised the targeted federal funds rate by another 25 basis points as expected, and its accompanying statement seemed dovish. Still, Fed Chair Powell’s subsequent statement that further rate hikes will be necessary if economic data continues to come in stronger than expected shifted the Fed narrative more hawkish. |
• | | During the Reporting Period overall, value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks within the large-cap and small-cap segments of the U.S. equity market, though growth stocks outpaced value stocks within the mid-cap segment. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period were materials, industrials, energy and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were utilities, consumer discretionary, real estate and communication services. |
International Equities
• | | Representing the developed international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) returned 12.58% for the Reporting Period, significantly outperforming the U.S. equity market. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2022, international equity markets declined, weighed down by heightened inflationary pressures, aggressive global interest rate hikes, recession concerns and the rampant spread of COVID-19. |
| • | | Europe additionally battled an energy crisis and subsequent mobile network blackouts, which, in turn, put upward pressure on power costs and inflation and supported the need to keep interest rates high. The European Central Bank raised interest rates during the month, increasing concerns around slowing economic growth and leading to the depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar. |
• | | International equities then rallied across the major regions in the fourth quarter of 2022 overall. Markets remained volatile and under pressure from macroeconomic headwinds, including inflationary pressures and interest rate hikes. However, investors began to focus on improving inflationary indicators across the globe, and increased confidence the U.S. Fed could pull off a soft economic landing allowed both U.S. and international equities to rally. |
| • | | In Europe, equities benefited from resilient third quarter 2022 corporate earnings reports as well as from optimism that the pace of interest rate increases could soon slow. Economic activity showed signs of a rebound in December following the inflation peak in October. Thus, although Europe remained in a recession, optimism that the recession would not be as deep as initially feared grew during the last weeks of the calendar year. |
| • | | In Japan, the yen continued to weaken against the U.S. dollar, especially in the first half of October, and Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda remained downbeat on the sustainability of inflation numbers into 2023, citing the negative output gap in particular, and kept its interest rates low. |
| • | | Asia ex-Japan equities were flat in October, pressured by sharp sell-offs in China and Hong Kong following confirmation that Chinese Premier Xi Jinping would remain as leader for a historic third five-year term. But increasing indications that China was prepared to stray from some of its more restrictive COVID-19 procedures resulted in stronger Asia ex-Japan equities in November, even as fears of an economic slowdown within China persisted. Indeed, in December, China began to relax its zero-COVID policies in an ongoing effort to boost its economy through increased domestic spending and international travel. Investors responded positively to this news despite the near-term surge in COVID-19 cases in China caused by the re-opening. |

MARKET REVIEW
• | | The MSCI EAFE Index posted solid positive returns in January 2023, with international equity markets performing well on the back of expectations around peaking inflation in the U.S. and Europe, slowing central bank interest rate hikes, and receding concerns about recession. |
| • | | China finally lifted its stringent zero-COVID policy, increasing global hopes around the resolution of supply-chain disruptions and economic recovery driven by stronger domestic consumption and improved international tourism. |
| • | | In contrast to the U.S. and Europe, Japan’s inflation rate rose in January. However, the Bank of Japan reiterated its commitment to keep its monetary policy accommodative. |
• | | The MSCI EAFE then fell in February 2023, with market sentiment governed by dampening expectations around potential peaking of interest rate hikes and ongoing geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, as the war there marked a one-year milestone. Also weighing on investor sentiment was a re-escalation in U.S./China tensions. Inflation levels were relatively stable across Europe, but Japan saw its highest level of inflation in the last 40 years. |
• | | All sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index posted positive total returns during the Reporting Period. The best performing sectors within the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were financials, materials, consumer discretionary and industrials, each posting a double-digit positive total return. The weakest performing sectors were real estate, communication services, consumer staples and health care. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI EAFE Index were Austria, Italy, Spain and Germany. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were Israel and Norway, the only two MSCI EAFE Index constituents to post a negative absolute total return during the Reporting Period. Portugal and Hong Kong each generated a modestly positive total return but still significantly lagged the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. |
Emerging Markets Equities
• | | Representing the emerging markets equity markets, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) returned -2.29% 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 2022, emerging markets equities as a whole posted double-digit negative returns, as central bank interest rate hikes and recession concerns triggered large outflows. |
| • | | Inflation remained top of mind for investors, as central banks in Europe, Asia and South America announced plans to raise interest rates during the following 12 months in an effort to get ahead of rising consumer prices. |
| • | | The Chinese equity market fell especially significantly. An overleveraged housing market and falling home prices, coupled with the yuan falling to its lowest levels since January 2008, triggered monetary outflows from the Chinese economy. Most impactfully, China’s zero-COVID policy weakened domestic levels of supply and demand, contributing to falling export levels. |
| • | | Elsewhere in Asia, India’s equity market fell but outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, while South Korea’s equity market underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index given the lack of global demand, especially from China, for Korean goods, which caused high levels of volatility in the Korean exports market. |
| • | | In Latin America, the Brazilian equity market fell but outpaced the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as Brazil’s central bank paused its cycle of interest rate hikes, becoming the first notable economy in the world to do so. |
• | | Emerging markets equities then rallied in the fourth quarter of 2022 overall, attributable primarily to a strong November 2022. |
| • | | In October 2022, emerging markets equities as a whole fell, as economies struggled to deal with high inflation, major transitions of political power, and contractionary central bank policy. The MSCI China Index was particularly weak, as lockdowns continued to place several cities under COVID-19 restrictions and the closely-watched China’s 20th Party Congress offered no signal to investors this strategy would change in the near future. South Korea’s and Brazil’s equity markets rose, driven by stronger exports. |
3
MARKET REVIEW
| • | | November 2022 was a strong month for emerging markets equities, as softer U.S. inflation and expectations of a recovery in Chinese demand brightened the outlook for the emerging markets universe. The slowing frequency of interest rate hikes from central banks and strong consumer activity across a number of emerging markets also strengthened returns for several country constituents of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI China Index rallied strongly. The MSCI India Index was also strong, but the MSCI Brazil Index fell as political friction in the country’s new presidential administration hampered the speed of financial reforms, creating uncertainty amongst investors. |
| • | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell modestly in December 2022, as inflation concerns dominated. Still, the MSCI China Index rose, as China loosened its COVID-19 restrictions. |
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose in January 2023, as softer U.S. inflation and positive news around China’s full reopening post COVID-19 brightened the outlook for the emerging markets. The slowing frequency of interest rate hikes from central banks and strong consumer activity across several emerging markets also contributed positively to strengthened returns for several countries in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, including China and Brazil. India’s equity market fell, as Indian officials hinted at an upcoming economic slowdown and as a U.S.-based short-selling firm published a report on a conglomerate that sparked a broad-based sell-off. |
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets then fell in February 2023, reversing much of the gains from the prior month’s rally. A re-escalation in geopolitical tensions and stronger than consensus expected U.S. economic data challenged the path of the U.S. Fed’s interest rate policy, dampening hopes to a quick end to the interest rate hiking cycle. Following this, the U.S. dollar also strengthened, an additional headwind for emerging markets equities. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index were materials, information technology, communication services and consumer staples, the only sectors in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index to post a positive total return during the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were utilities, energy, consumer discretionary and health care. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period were Turkey, Greece, Mexico and Poland. The weakest performing countries were Qatar, Saudi Arabia, India and United Arab Emirates, each led down by weakness in the energy sector. |

| | Net Asset Value (NAV)1 | | $ | 49.56 | |
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. |

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)
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 MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF (“MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF”) | | Diversified |
Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® International Equity ETF (“MarketBeta® International Equity ETF”) | | Diversified |
Goldman Sachs MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF (“MarketBeta® U.S. 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 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, unrealized gains and losses are recorded daily and become realized gains and losses upon disposition or termination of the contract.

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. With respect to the Funds’ investments

that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). GSAM has 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 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 either due to broker/receivable for collateral on certain derivative 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

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 the Valuation Procedures. 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, 2023:

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 the 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, 2023, contractual and effective net unitary management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | |
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, 2023 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, 2023, GSAM waived $14,072, $83,087 and $74,045 of the Funds’ management fees for the MarketBeta® Emerging Markets Equity ETF, MarketBeta® International Equity ETF and MarketBeta® U.S. Equity ETF, respectively.

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. 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.

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, 2023, 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, 2023, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

9. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of February 28, 2023, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | MarketBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF | | | MarketBeta International Equity ETF | | | MarketBeta U.S. Equity ETF | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 30,381,818 | | | $ | 366,596,291 | | | $ | 771,877,686 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 5,878,473 | | | | 1,852,668,694 | | | | 58,347,290 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (4,311,902 | ) | | | (1,841,153,573 | ) | | | (51,309,421 | ) |
Net unrealized gains (losses) | | $ | 1,566,571 | | | $ | 11,515,121 | | | $ | 7,037,869 | |
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 future contracts, 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.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives and other similar instruments (collectively referred to in this paragraph as “derivatives”) may result in loss, including due to adverse market movements. Derivatives, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other assets and instruments, may increase market exposure and be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying assets or instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Certain derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not, or lacks the capacity or authority to, fulfill its contractual obligations, liquidity risk, which includes the risk that the Funds will not be able to exit the derivative when it is advantageous to do so, and risks arising from margin requirements, which include the risk that the Funds will be required to pay additional margin or set aside additional collateral to maintain open derivative positions. 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 from problems in 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 exchange 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.
Geographic Risk — If the Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were less focused, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that country or region, such as: adverse securities markets; adverse exchange rates; adverse social, political, regulatory, economic, business, environmental or other developments; or natural disasters.
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 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.

10. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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 2, 2023, 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, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (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; (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions; and (5) the impact of geopolitical, market and economic developments and events on liquidity and liquidity risk. 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 2/28/23 (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 and held for the entire six-month period from September 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023, 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, 2023 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 19-20, 2022 (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 four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2021. At those Committee meetings, 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”), benchmark performance index and a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser; 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) | | 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; |

| (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 transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, 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 rankings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2022, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of June 30, 2022. 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 accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser. 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)
Trustees observed that each Fund’s investment performance was consistent with the investment objective of tracking its respective index.
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 particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. 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 Funds’ fee rates and expense ratios 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 provided by the Outside Data Provider and the Investment Adviser were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
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 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. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2021 and 2020. The Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
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, information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and information comparing the contractual management fee rate charged by other advisers to other funds in the 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 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) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which certain Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (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; (f) the investment of cash and cash collateral in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money

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)
market funds; and (g) 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) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing and pricing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (d) 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; (e) 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 (f) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. They considered the competitive nature of the ETF marketplace, noting that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
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, 2023.

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, 2023 (the “Reporting Period”). Attribution highlights are provided for those Funds that materially outperformed or underperformed their respective benchmark 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, 2023.
Market and Economic Review
U.S. Equities
• | | Overall, U.S. equities rose during the Reporting Period. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a return of 1.26%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 1.51%. |
• | | The market posted muted returns during the Reporting Period amid a backdrop of ongoing Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hikes to combat inflation, persistent recession worries, supply-chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions given the Russia/Ukraine war, and elevated concerns around China’s zero-COVID policy. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2022, the S&P 500 Index decreased primarily based on the noticeable tightening of financial conditions guided by expectations for a more aggressive global interest rate hiking cycle. Indeed, the Fed increased its “raise and hold” messaging as the end of September approached, a policy that received support on the back of higher than consensus expected August core inflation data and a still-tight labor market that showed only moderate signs of cooling off. |
• | | During the fourth quarter of 2022, the S&P 500 Index solidly increased, breaking its streak of three consecutive quarterly losses, attributable primarily to gains in October and November. |
| • | | Investors continued to witness a variety of contradictory macroeconomic developments, highlighted by a noticeably hawkish Fed, consumer resilience, and economic data supporting the themes of slowing economic growth. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) |
| • | | There was a dovish tilt surrounding consensus expectations for a reduction in the pace of monetary policy tightening, which was realized when the Fed announced a 50 basis point interest rate hike in December, following four successive 75 basis point increases. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) |
| • | | Positive inflation developments further supported market aspirations for a peak in the Fed tightening cycle, with October and November inflation data coming in lower than anticipated by most. |
| • | | Despite the smaller interest rate hike, the Fed maintained its hawkish tone with its relentless higher-for-longer messaging that continued to be a headwind for the U.S. equities market. |
| • | | Although the third quarter 2022 corporate earnings season provided disappointing results, companies emphasized a strong demand environment even against a backdrop of heightened macroeconomic uncertainty. Companies also focused on cost-cutting measures, as headlines of layoffs remained in the spotlight, especially within the information technology sector. |
| • | | On the geopolitical front, the most constructive takeaways came from China’s zero-COVID pivot and pro-growth focus as well as Europe’s warmer than anticipated weather that helped settle concerns about an energy crisis there. |
• | | The S&P 500 Index rose in January 2023, rebounding from December 2022’s losses, gaining on a combination of heightened optimism around disinflationary signals, a cooling job market, positive reports about China’s economic reopening, better than consensus forecasted economic circumstances in Europe, improvements in supply-chain conditions and elevated hopes for the termination of the Fed’s tightening cycle. Collectively, these themes provided a strong case for the Fed’s soft landing scenario and the avoidance of a deep recession resulting from interest rate hikes. (A soft landing, in economics, is a cyclical downturn that avoids recession. It typically describes attempts by central banks to raise interest rates just enough to stop an economy from overheating and experiencing high inflation, without causing a significant increase in unemployment, or a hard landing.) |
1
MARKET REVIEW
• | | However, the S&P 500 Index then fell again in February 2023, giving back a portion of the prior month’s gains. |
| • | | U.S. equities depreciated as the market’s modified Fed interest rate hike expectations and resilient economic data prompted a reduction in the progress of disinflation and heightened traction around several bearish themes. (Bearish refers to an expected downward movement in the prices of securities.) |
| • | | Early in February, the Fed raised the targeted federal funds rate by another 25 basis points as expected, and its accompanying statement seemed dovish. Still, Fed Chair Powell’s subsequent statement that further rate hikes will be necessary if economic data continues to come in stronger than expected shifted the Fed narrative more hawkish. |
• | | During the Reporting Period overall, value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks within the large-cap and small-cap segments of the U.S. equity market, though growth stocks outpaced value stocks within the mid-cap segment. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period were materials, industrials, energy and financials, while the weakest performing sectors were utilities, consumer discretionary, real estate and communication services. |
International Equities
• | | Representing the developed international equity markets, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) returned 12.58% for the Reporting Period, significantly outperforming the U.S. equity market. |
• | | As the Reporting Period began in September 2022, international equity markets declined, weighed down by heightened inflationary pressures, aggressive global interest rate hikes, recession concerns and the rampant spread of COVID-19. |
| • | | Europe additionally battled an energy crisis and subsequent mobile network blackouts, which, in turn, put upward pressure on power costs and inflation and supported the need to keep interest rates high. The European Central Bank raised interest rates during the month, increasing concerns around slowing economic growth and leading to the depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar. |
• | | International equities then rallied across the major regions in the fourth quarter of 2022 overall. Markets remained volatile and under pressure from macroeconomic headwinds, including inflationary pressures and interest rate hikes. However, investors began to focus on improving inflationary indicators across the globe, and increased confidence the U.S. Fed could pull off a soft economic landing allowed both U.S. and international equities to rally. |
| • | | In Europe, equities benefited from resilient third quarter 2022 corporate earnings reports as well as from optimism that the pace of interest rate increases could soon slow. Economic activity showed signs of a rebound in December following the inflation peak in October. Thus, although Europe remained in a recession, optimism that the recession would not be as deep as initially feared grew during the last weeks of the calendar year. |
| • | | In Japan, the yen continued to weaken against the U.S. dollar, especially in the first half of October. Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda remained downbeat on the sustainability of inflation numbers into 2023, citing the negative output gap in particular, and kept its interest rates low. |
| • | | Asia ex-Japan equities were flat in October, pressured by sharp sell-offs in China and Hong Kong following confirmation that Chinese Premier Xi Jinping would remain as leader for a historic third five-year term. But increasing indications that China was prepared to stray from some of its more restrictive COVID-19 procedures resulted in stronger Asia ex-Japan equities in November, even as fears of an economic slowdown within China persisted. Indeed, in December, China began to relax its zero-COVID policies in an ongoing effort to boost its economy through increased domestic spending and international travel. Investors responded positively to this news despite the near-term surge in COVID-19 cases in China caused by the re-opening. |
2
MARKET REVIEW
• | | The MSCI EAFE Index posted solid positive returns in January 2023, with international equity markets performing well on the back of expectations around peaking inflation in the U.S. and Europe, slowing central bank interest rate hikes, and receding concerns about recession. |
| • | | China finally lifted its stringent zero-COVID policy, increasing global hopes around the resolution of supply-chain disruptions and economic recovery driven by stronger domestic consumption and improved international tourism. |
| • | | In contrast to the U.S. and Europe, Japan’s inflation rate rose in January. However, the Bank of Japan reiterated its commitment to keep its monetary policy accommodative. |
• | | The MSCI EAFE Index then fell in February 2023, with market sentiment governed by dampening expectations around potential peaking of interest rate hikes and ongoing geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, as the war there marked a one-year milestone. Also weighing on investor sentiment was a re-escalation in U.S./China tensions. Inflation levels were relatively stable across Europe, but Japan saw its highest level of inflation in the last 40 years. |
• | | All sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index posted positive total returns during the Reporting Period. The best performing sectors within the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were financials, materials, consumer discretionary and industrials, each posting a double-digit positive total return. The weakest performing sectors were real estate, communication services, consumer staples and health care. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI EAFE Index were Austria, Italy, Spain and Germany. The weakest performing countries during the Reporting Period were Israel and Norway, the only two MSCI EAFE Index constituents to post a negative absolute total return during the Reporting Period. Portugal and Hong Kong each generated a modestly positive total return but still significantly lagged the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. |
Emerging Markets Equities
• | | Representing the emerging markets equity markets, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) returned -2.29% 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 2022, emerging markets equities as a whole posted double-digit negative returns, as central bank interest rate hikes and recession concerns triggered large outflows. |
| • | | Inflation remained top of mind for investors, as central banks in Europe, Asia and South America announced plans to raise interest rates during the following 12 months in an effort to get ahead of rising consumer prices. |
| • | | The Chinese equity market fell especially significantly. An overleveraged housing market and falling home prices, coupled with the yuan falling to its lowest levels since January 2008, triggered monetary outflows from the Chinese economy. Most impactfully, China’s zero-COVID policy weakened domestic levels of supply and demand, contributing to falling export levels. |
| • | | Elsewhere in Asia, India’s equity market fell but outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, while South Korea’s equity market underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index amid the lack of global demand, especially from China, for Korean goods, which caused high levels of volatility in the Korean exports market. |
| • | | In Latin America, the Brazilian equity market fell but outpaced the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as Brazil’s central bank paused its cycle of interest rate hikes, becoming the first notable economy in the world to do so. |
• | | Emerging markets equities then rallied in the fourth quarter of 2022 overall, attributable primarily to a strong November 2022. |
| • | | In October 2022, emerging markets equities as a whole fell, as economies struggled to deal with high inflation, major transitions of political power, and contractionary central bank policy. The MSCI China Index was particularly weak, as lockdowns continued to place several cities under COVID-19 restrictions and the closely watched China’s 20th Party Congress offered no signal to investors this strategy would change in the near future. South Korea’s and Brazil’s equity markets rose, driven by stronger exports. |
3
MARKET REVIEW
| • | | November 2022 was a strong month for emerging markets equities, as softer U.S. inflation and expectations of a recovery in Chinese demand brightened the outlook for the emerging markets universe. The slowing frequency of interest rate hikes from central banks and strong consumer activity across a number of emerging markets also strengthened returns for several country constituents of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The MSCI China Index rallied strongly. The MSCI India Index was also strong, but the MSCI Brazil Index fell as political friction in the country’s new presidential administration hampered the speed of financial reforms, creating uncertainty amongst investors. |
| • | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell modestly in December 2022, as inflation concerns dominated. Still, the MSCI China Index rose, as China loosened its COVID-19 restrictions. |
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose in January 2023, as softer U.S. inflation and positive news around China’s full reopening post COVID-19 brightened the outlook for the emerging markets. The slowing frequency of interest rate hikes from central banks and strong consumer activity across several emerging markets also contributed positively to strengthened returns for several countries in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, including China and Brazil. India’s equity market fell, as Indian officials hinted at an upcoming economic slowdown and as a U.S.-based short-selling firm published a report on a conglomerate that sparked a broad-based sell-off. |
• | | The MSCI Emerging Markets then fell in February 2023, reversing much of the gains from the prior month’s rally. A re-escalation in geopolitical tensions and stronger than consensus expected U.S. economic data challenged the path of the U.S. Fed’s interest rate policy, dampening hopes to a quick end to the interest rate hiking cycle. Following this, the U.S. dollar also strengthened, an additional headwind for emerging markets equities. |
• | | The best performing sectors within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index were materials, information technology, communication services and consumer staples, the only sectors in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index to post a positive total return during the Reporting Period. The weakest performing sectors were utilities, energy, consumer discretionary and health care. |
• | | The best performing countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index during the Reporting Period were Turkey, Greece, Mexico and Poland. The weakest performing countries were Qatar, Saudi Arabia, India and United Arab Emirates, each led down by weakness in the energy sector. |
Fund Changes and Highlights
Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF
• | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index Growth Index, during the Reporting Period. |
• | | From a theme perspective, e-commerce and sustainable living detracted from the Fund’s performance, while luxury and financial technology contributed positively. |
• | | In terms of sectors, the Fund was hurt by its overweight positions versus the benchmark in communication services and utilities. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. |
• | | From a country perspective, stock selection in the U.S., along with an overweight and stock selection in China, detracted from the Fund’s relative returns. Exposure to Italy and France bolstered relative performance. |
• | | Among individual stocks, the Fund was hampered by its overweight positions versus the benchmark in U.S.-based e-commerce retailing behemoth Amazon.com and U.S.-based wireless communications and broadcast towers real estate investment trust American Tower. These results were offset somewhat by overweight positions in French luxury goods company LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton and Italian apparel manufacturer Moncler, each of which contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. |
• | | Effective January 3, 2023, Laura Destribats no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. As of February 2, 2023, Jennifer Sullivan became a portfolio manager for the Fund, joining Alexis Deladerrière, Raj Garigipati and Nathan Lin. Mr. Deladerrière, Mr. Garigipati and Mr. Lin have been portfolio managers for the Fund since 2021. |

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF
• | | Effective January 18, 2023, Anant Padmanabhan no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Jenny Chang and Raj Garigipati continued to serve as portfolio managers for the Fund. Ms. Chang and Mr. Garigipati have been portfolio managers for the Fund since 2021. |
Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF
• | | The Fund posted negative absolute returns but outperformed its benchmark, which is comprised 50% of FTSE Global Core Infrastructure 50/50 Index and 50% of FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index, during the Reporting Period. |
• | | From a theme perspective, environmental responsibility and new age consumer added significantly to the Fund’s returns, while other themes detracted modestly. |
• | | In terms of sectors, the Fund benefited from stock selection in utilities and industrials. Stock selection in real estate hindered relative performance. |
• | | Regarding countries, the Fund’s exposure to France contributed most positively. Its exposure to the U.S. and Italy was also advantageous. On the other hand, exposure to Australia detracted slightly from the Fund’s relative performance. |
• | | Among individual stocks, the Fund’s out-of-benchmark investments in infrastructure and construction firm VINCI and environmental management services provider Veolia Environnement, both France-based companies, added to relative performance. The Fund was hurt by its overweight positions in American Tower and SBA Communications, both of which operate wireless communications infrastructure in the U.S. |
Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF
• | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (Net, USD, Unhedged), during the Reporting Period. |
• | | On the sector level, the Fund was hampered by its overweight positions versus the benchmark in the information technology services, interactive media and services, and entertainment industries. Adding to relative performance was stock selection within the Internet and direct marketing retail industry and an overweight allocation to the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industry. |
• | | From a country perspective, the Fund’s exposure to the U.S. detracted from relative returns, offset somewhat by exposure to Taiwan and Germany, which added value. |
• | | Among individual stocks, the Fund’s overweight position in U.S.-based Bill.com Holdings, which provides cloud-based software solutions to small and mid-sized businesses, and its out-of-benchmark exposure to Atlassian, an Australian software company, hurt relative performance. The Fund benefited from its overweight position in German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies and its avoidance of China-based information security provider Venustech Group. |

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 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 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 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.

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 Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Planet Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF, income distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. For Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF income distributions, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually. 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. With respect to the Funds’ investments
36
GOLDMAN SACHS FUTURE ETFS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
that do not have readily available market quotations, the Trustees have designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Valuation Designee”). GSAM has 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 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 Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Money Market 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 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. 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 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 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, 2023, 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 | % |
Future Tech Leaders 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 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, 2023, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
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.
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 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 from problems in 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 a Fund’s liquidity and performance. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency exchange 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.

9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 Future Planet Equity ETF) 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUTURE ETFS
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 2, 2023, 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, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (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; (4) the impact of local holidays in non-U.S. jurisdictions; and (5) the impact of geopolitical, market and economic developments and events on liquidity and liquidity risk. 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 2/28/2023 (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, 2022 and held for the six months ended February 28, 2023, 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 the Future Thematic Equity ETFs (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Planet 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 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, 2023 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 meetings held on September 19-20, 2022 (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 four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved in 2021. At those Committee meetings, 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 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 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

GOLDMAN SACHS FUTURE ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Future Thematic Equity ETFs (Unaudited) (continued)
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. 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 transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical events, and economic sanctions, 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 actively-managed ETFs that seek long-term growth of capital, except for the Goldman Sachs Future Planet Equity ETF, which seeks long-term capital appreciation. 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 fundamental equity 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 noted that the Goldman Sachs Future Consumer Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Health Care Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Planet Equity ETF, Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF and Goldman Sachs Future Tech Leaders Equity ETF launched on November 9, 2021, November 9, 2021, July 13, 2021, November 9, 2021, and September 14, 2021, respectively, and did not yet have a meaningful performance history.
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 particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by a third-party fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”) regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUTURE ETFS
Statement Regarding Basis for Initial Approval of Management Agreement for the Future Thematic Equity ETFs (Unaudited) (continued)
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. Profitability data for the Funds was provided for 2021. The Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
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) fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which certain Funds’ securities lending cash collateral is invested; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (e) the investment of cash and cash collateral in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money market funds; (f) 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; (g) the investment of cash and cash collateral in money market funds managed by the Investment Adviser that will result in increased assets under management for those money market funds; and (h) 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) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing and pricing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (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 Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) 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 (f) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. They considered the competitive nature of the ETF marketplace, noting that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
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, 2023.

Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
