MARKET REVIEW

Market Review
The capital markets experienced mixed results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”) amidst a resurgence of volatility.
When the Reporting Period began in November 2017, global equity markets marched higher, extending their record highs of the calendar year on the heels of strong corporate earnings growth and positive business sentiment. Bullish market sentiment was further augmented by the passage of a U.S. tax reform bill in December 2017. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) decision in the same month to raise short-term interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point did little to temper the rally, as the rate hike was largely driven by the Fed’s positive outlook for U.S. economic growth and a strong jobs market. In late January 2018, the U.S. dollar fell to a three-year low versus other developed markets currencies based on concerns about rhetoric from the U.S. Treasury Secretary, who said he favored a weak U.S. dollar, as well as by what investors perceived as the erosion of the U.S. dollar’s yield relative to those of other currencies. During February 2018, volatility returned to the capital markets amid bond market jitters and a significant sell-off in the global equity markets, which was largely influenced by a rise in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. The U.S. Administration’s announcement of steel and aluminum tariffs compounded equity investors’ concerns. In March 2018, at Jerome Powell’s first policy meeting as Fed chair, the U.S. central bank raised short-term interest rates by another quarter percentage point. Fed policymakers went on to raise short-term rates by the same amount on two more occasions — in June and September 2018, and the capital markets anticipated a fourth hike before calendar year end. The Fed’s interest rate hikes led to higher U.S. bond yields, which, in addition to strong corporate earnings growth and a relatively stable macroeconomic picture, helped keep global equity markets rather range bound between March and September 2018. Then, in October, global equities sold off significantly, largely erasing earlier gains. The sell-off was triggered by the continued rise in U.S. bond yields and emerging signs of a slowdown in global economic growth, which sparked investors’ rotation out of growth- and momentum-oriented sectors, such as consumer discretionary and information technology, into value-oriented sectors, such as energy, and traditionally defensive sectors, such as utilities. Global equities finished the Reporting Period with modest losses, as positive returns in the U.S. were offset by the negative performance of European and emerging markets stocks. From a sector perspective, gains overall in health care and information technology were offset by declines in financials and industrials. In commodities, energy prices broadly moved higher during the Reporting Period overall on a combination of U.S. sanctions on Russia, trade disputes and continuing tightness in crude oil supplies. However, metals lagged, particularly in the closing months of the Reporting Period, as the outlook for global economic growth became a focal point for investors.
Credit markets generally sold off during the Reporting Period overall, as a more hawkish Fed continued to forecast additional interest rate hikes against the backdrop of strong U.S. economic growth and increasing signs of inflation. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Credit spreads, or yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity, widened slightly, with concerns about U.S.-China trade tensions weighing on investor sentiment for corporate bonds. Floating-rate bank loans were the best performing sector in the U.S. fixed income markets during the Reporting Period, as each increase in LIBOR boosted coupon payments, fueling investor demand. (LIBOR is London interbank offered rates, which are floating interest rates widely used as reference rates in bank, corporate and government lending agreements.) Demand for floating-rate bank loans came at the expense of fixed-rate investment grade bonds and

MARKET REVIEW
fixed-rate high yield corporate bonds. That said, high yield corporate bonds recorded a positive return for the Reporting Period overall, as their higher yields generally offset the negative effects of their greater duration and the widening of credit spreads. (Duration measures sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) Outside the U.S., emerging markets credit spreads also widened, as rising U.S. interest rates proved to be a headwind for emerging markets debt. Meanwhile, a strong U.S. dollar dampened the performance of local emerging markets bonds. As a result, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt and local emerging markets debt were among the worst performing fixed income sectors during the Reporting Period overall.
Public real estate markets were driven primarily by fundamentals during the Reporting Period overall, as investors’ search for yield continued to decrease at the margin. Dispersion among returns across yield quintiles, or market segments, remained modest, with lower yielding, higher quality real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) slightly outperforming. Global real estate markets were up modestly for the Reporting Period as a whole, largely because of a rally in industrial REITs, which benefited from ongoing e-commerce demand and higher barriers to entry for competitive new supply. That said, the performance of the global real estate markets varied during 2018, as a weak first quarter was offset by a rebounding second quarter and a rather muted third quarter. Among market segments, health care REITs struggled on weaker supply/demand dynamics, though more defensive securities performed well during the market volatility in October 2018. Self-storage REITs performed particularly well in the first half of 2018 but had an unusually poor third calendar quarter due to concerns about a potential moderation in 2019 earnings growth. Regionally, North American property stocks experienced a material reversal during the Reporting Period, going from being the worst performing region in the first quarter of 2018 to being the best performing region in the second calendar quarter, with modest additional gains during in the third calendar quarter. Japan and North America generally drove real estate markets during the Reporting Period overall, while Asia (ex-Japan) real estate lagged due in large part to a sell-off in Hong Kong listed companies. Real estate stocks broadly continued to price in further Fed rate hikes as well as elevated investor concerns surrounding U.S. tariffs and trade policy for more economically sensitive property types. In addition, merger and acquisition activity picked up during the Reporting Period.
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, investors appeared to be monitoring political developments in the U.S., with a focus on the midterm elections. A key issue was whether the Democrats would be able to win a majority in the House of Representatives, a result that could create political gridlock in the second half of the President’s term in office, in our view. (On November 6, 2018, after the end of the Reporting Period, the Democratic Party won a majority in the House of Representatives.) Additionally, U.S. trade policy remained a concern at the end of the Reporting Period, as investors monitored whether U.S.-China trade tensions would ease. On the economic front, investors continued to watch for any increase in U.S. inflation, as this could drive the Fed’s schedule for interest rate hikes. Finally, signs of slowing economic growth in China and Europe were drawing significant market attention, with investors looking to discern whether the global economic cycle had plateaued, which could potentially drive strong shifts in market performance.

Investment Objective and Principal Strategy
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Group discusses the Multi-Manager International Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares (formerly Institutional Shares) generated an average annual total return of -5.63%. The return compares to the -6.85% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”) during the same time period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a multi-manager approach and generally seeks to achieve its investment objective by dynamically allocating its assets among unaffiliated investment managers (“Underlying Managers”) that employ an international equity investment strategy. The AIMS Group is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating or replacing the Fund’s Underlying Managers as well as for determining the Fund’s asset allocations. The AIMS Group applies a multifaceted process with respect to manager due diligence, portfolio construction and risk management. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund recorded a negative absolute return but outperformed the Index. The relative outperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers. The Fund allocated capital to three Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period as part of its top-level strategy allocation — Causeway Capital Management LLC (“Causeway”), Massachusetts Financial Services Company doing business as MFS Investment Management (“MFS”) and WCM Investment Management (“WCM”). |
| All three of the Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the Reporting Period generated negative absolute returns. However, on a relative basis, growth-oriented Underlying Manager WCM and core-oriented MFS outperformed the Index. Value-oriented Causeway underperformed the Index. The Index serves as the benchmark index for all three Underlying Managers. |
Q | | Which international equity strategies most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The Fund’s results were driven by growth-oriented Underlying Manager WCM, which outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. WCM benefited from an overweight position and strong stock selection in health care as well as effective stock selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. |
| Core-oriented Underlying Manager MFS outperformed the Index as well. Strong stock selection in information technology, plus an underweight and strong stock selection in financials, added to relative returns. In addition, an overweight in the health care sector contributed positively. |
| Value-oriented Underlying Manager Causeway lagged the Index during the Reporting Period. Causeway was hurt by weak stock selection in consumer staples, information technology and utilities. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund used forward foreign currency exchange contracts during the Reporting Period to take positions in select non-U.S. markets. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately 44% to Causeway, 25% to MFS and 30% to WCM. The remainder of the Fund’s assets |
3
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| were invested in cash and cash equivalents. In August 2018, we decided to reduce the Fund’s exposure to growth stocks and trim its exposure to the emerging markets. As a result, we decreased the Fund’s allocation to WCM and increased its allocation to MFS. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately 44% to Causeway, 35% to MFS and 20% to WCM. The remainder of the Fund’s assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was more defensively positioned than the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was overweight information technology and health care stocks and was underweight financials and real estate stocks. On a regional basis, the Fund was significantly underweight Japan and developed Asia, while maintaining out-of-benchmark exposure to the emerging markets and North America. From a market capitalization perspective, the Fund was overweight at the end of the Reporting Period in mega-cap stocks and maintained underweights relative to the Index in mid-cap and large-cap companies. |
| We intend to continue to position the Fund in alignment with our longer-term strategic views within the international equity complex. We further intend to continue to monitor allocations and Underlying Manager performance as we seek to generate long-term capital growth. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Group discusses the Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares (formerly Institutional Shares) generated an average annual total return of 6.51%. This return compares to the 7.35% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Total Return Index (the “Index”) during the same time period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a multi-manager approach and generally seeks to achieve its investment objective by dynamically allocating its assets among unaffiliated investment managers (“Underlying Managers”) that employ dynamic equity investment strategies. (Dynamic equity investment strategies generally involve investing in equity instruments, often with a long term view. They are long-biased strategies and may have low excess return correlations to traditional long-only equity strategies.) The AIMS Group is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating or replacing the Fund’s Underlying Managers as well as for determining the Fund’s asset allocations. The AIMS Group applies a multifaceted process with respect to manager due diligence, portfolio construction and risk management. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund recorded a positive absolute return but underperformed the Index. The relative underperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers. The Fund allocated capital to three Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period as part of its top-level strategy allocation — Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard”), Sirios Capital Management, L.P. (“Sirios”) and Smead Capital Management, Inc. (“Smead”). |
| All three of the Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the Reporting Period posted positive absolute returns. On a relative basis, Sirios and Lazard underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, while Smead outperformed the Index. The Index serves as the benchmark index for all three Underlying Managers. |
Q | | Which dynamic equity strategies most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The Fund’s relative underperformance was driven by growth-oriented Underlying Manager Sirios, which lagged the Index during the Reporting Period because of weak stock selection in the consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors. An overweight and poor stock selection in the financials sector also detracted from results. |
| Lazard, which uses an all cap, concentrated investment strategy, also underperformed the Index. An overweight in materials, along with a significant overweight and poor stock selection in consumer staples, detracted from relative performance. Weak stock selection in information technology further diminished returns. |
| Core-oriented Underlying Manager Smead outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period through an underweight position and strong stock selection in consumer staples. Effective stock selection in health care and a significant overweight in the consumer discretionary sector also aided relative performance. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund used forward foreign currency exchange contracts during the Reporting Period to take positions in select non-U.S. markets. The use of these derivatives had a positive impact on the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period. At the beginning and end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately 40.5% to Smead, 40.5% to Sirios and 18% to Lazard. The remainder of the Fund’s assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. |
| | Near the end of the Reporting Period, Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (“Vaughan Nelson”) was added as an Underlying Manager of the Fund but was not allocated capital. Vaughan Nelson invests in companies that are earning above their cost of capital, with stable to improving returns and where it considers the valuation to be attractive (undervalued growth); companies valued at a significant discount to a specific asset value, with an identifiable catalyst to close the gap (undervalued assets); and companies with an attractive dividend yield and minimum basis risk (undervalued dividends). We added Vaughan Nelson as an Underlying Manager to balance the Fund more effectively from a sector perspective while more evenly dispersing risk across the Fund’s Underlying Managers. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund remained overweight relative to the Index in the consumer discretionary sector, primarily concentrated in the media and household durables industries. It also maintained an overweight in financials, with bank exposure held by Smead and Sirios. Lazard has not historically invested in banks. In addition, the Fund was overweight in the consumer staples sector compared to the Index. The Fund was most underweight in information technology, energy and communication services relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period and had no exposure to utilities or real estate. (Near the end of September 2018, the telecommunications services sector was renamed the communication services sector and was broadened to include certain companies from the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various media.) In terms of market capitalization, the Fund maintained a significant underweight in mega caps and an overweight relative to the Index in small/mid cap stocks. Regionally, the Fund was primarily invested in North American equities but also had modest exposure to companies domiciled in Europe and the U.K. |
| We intend to continue to position the Fund in alignment with our longer-term strategic views within the U.S. equity complex. We further intend to continue to monitor allocations and Underlying Manager performance as we seek to generate long-term capital growth. |

Investment Objective and Principal Strategy
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Group discusses the Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares (formerly Institutional Shares) generated an average annual total return of -0.40%. This return compares to the 1.85% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Total Return Index (the “Index”) during the same time period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a multi-manager approach and generally seeks to achieve its investment objective by dynamically allocating its assets among unaffiliated investment managers (“Underlying Managers”) that employ a small-cap equity investment strategy. The AIMS Group is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating or replacing the Fund’s Underlying Managers as well as for determining the Fund’s asset allocations. The AIMS Group applies a multifaceted process with respect to manager due diligence, portfolio construction and risk management. |
| | During the Reporting Period, the Fund recorded a slightly negative absolute return and underperformed the Index. The relative underperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers. The Fund allocated capital to three Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period as part of its top-level strategy allocation — Brown Advisory, LLC (“Brown Advisory”), PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (“PNC”) and Boston Partners Global Investors Inc. (“Boston Partners”). |
| | All three of the Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the Reporting Period generated negative absolute returns. On a relative basis, value-oriented Boston Partners and core-oriented manager PNC underperformed their benchmark indices. Growth-oriented manager Brown Advisory slightly outperformed its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which small-cap equity strategies most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The Fund’s relative underperformance was led by value-oriented Underlying Manager Boston Partners, which lagged its benchmark index, the Russell 2000® Value Index, during the Reporting Period. An overweight position and poor stock selection within materials detracted from relative returns. Weak stock selection and an overweight in the consumer discretionary sector further diminished results. |
| | Core-oriented Underlying Manager PNC also underperformed its benchmark index, the Russell 2000® Total Return Index. Its negative results were due to poor stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector as well as an underweight position and weak stock selection in the health care sector. |
| | Growth-oriented Underlying Manager Brown Advisory slightly outperformed its benchmark index, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, during the Reporting Period, driven by a significant overweight in the information technology sector and a lack of exposure to the materials sector. Additionally, strong stock selection in industrials aided results. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period. At the beginning and end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately 44% |
13
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| to Boston Partners, 30% to Brown Advisory and 25% to PNC. The remainder of the Fund’s assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was moderately overweight compared to the Index in financials, industrials and information technology, while it was underweight health care, real estate and utilities. In terms of market capitalization, the Fund maintained a slight small/mid cap bias relative to the Index, driven predominantly by Underlying Manager Brown Advisory. |
| | We intend to continue to position the Fund in alignment with our longer-term strategic views within the U.S. small-cap equity complex. We further intend to continue to monitor allocations and Underlying Manager performance as we seek to generate long-term capital growth. |

| | November 1, 2017–October 31, 2018 | | Fund Total Return (based on NAV)1 | | | Russell 2000® Total Return Index2 | |
| | Class P Shares | | | -0.40 | % | | | 1.85 | % |
| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. |
| 2 | | The Russell 2000® Total Return 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. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | STANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURNS3 |
| | For the period ended 9/30/18 | | One Year | | | Since Inception | | | Inception Date |
| | Class P Shares | | | 12.03 | % | | | 15.75 | % | | 4/29/16 |
| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. Because Class P Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when 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 to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

| | | | Net Expense Ratio (Current) | | | Gross Expense Ratio (Before Waivers) | |

| 4 | | The expense ratios of the Fund, both current (net of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and before waivers (gross of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) are as set forth above according to the most recent publicly available Prospectus for the Fund and may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in the Financial Highlights in this report. Pursuant to contractual arrangements, the Fund’s waivers and/or expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019, and prior to such date the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. If these arrangements are discontinued in the future, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS(%)6 |
As of October 31, 2018 |

| 6 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. Figures in the graph may not sum to 100% due to rounding and/or the exclusion of other assets and liabilities. The graph categorizes investments using the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value. Short-term investments represent repurchase agreements. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

Performance Summary
October 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 29, 2016 (commencement of operations) in Class P Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Total Return Index is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. In addition to the Underlying Managers’ decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Goldman Sachs Trust II (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. 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 corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered* | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Multi-Manager International Equity | | Class P | | Diversified |
Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity | | Class P | | Diversified** |
Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity | | Class P | | Diversified |
* | | Effective April 16, 2018, Institutional Shares were redesignated as Class P Shares. |
** | | The Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund was previously registered as a non-diversified investment company. Pursuant to current positions of the SEC staff, the Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund’s classification has changed from non-diversified to diversified, and the Fund will not be able to become non-diversified unless it seeks and obtains the approval of shareholders. Accordingly, the Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund may not make any investment inconsistent with the Fund’s classification as a diversified company under the Act. |
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (each, an “Agreement”) with the Trust. As of October 31, 2018, GSAM had sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) for the Multi-Manager International Equity Fund with Causeway Capital Management LLC, Massachusetts Financial Services Company, doing business as MFS Investment Management and WCM Investment Management; for the Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund with Lazard Asset Management LLC, Sirios Capital Management, L.P., and Smead Capital Management, Inc.; and for the Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund with Boston Partners Global Investors Inc., Brown Advisory, LLC and PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Underlying Managers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Underlying Managers are responsible for making investment decisions and managing the investments of the applicable Fund. GSAM compensates the Underlying Managers directly in accordance with the terms of the applicable Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Funds are not charged any separate or additional investment advisory fees by the Underlying Managers.

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.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“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 or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.

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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | | |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV 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 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.
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 midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). 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. 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.

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which a Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, a Fund may be required to post initial margin to the counterparty, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. A Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that the Underlying Managers believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
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.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Management Rate | |
Fund | | | | Contractual Management Rate | | | Effective Net Management Rate* | |
Multi-Manager International Equity | | | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.44 | % |
Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity | | | | | 0.80 | | | | 0.68 | |
Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity | | | | | 0.75 | | | | 0.66 | |
* | | GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for each Fund in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate that is equal to the actual cost of fees paid to the Fund’s Underlying Managers. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least February 28, 2019 and prior to such date, GSAM may not terminate the applicable arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. |
The Multi-Manager International Equity, Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity and Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Funds invest. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, GSAM waived $16,270, $8,726 and $9,662 of the Fund’s management fee for the Multi-Manager International Equity, Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity and Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Funds, respectively.
B. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Class P Shares.
C. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit each Fund’s “Total Annual Operating Expenses” (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 each Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Total Annual Operating Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Multi-Manager International Equity, Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity and the Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Funds are 0.57%, 0.79% and 0.80% respectively. These Total Annual Operating Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Total Annual Operating Expense” limitations described above.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Annual Operating Expense Reductions | |
Multi-Manager International Equity | | | | $ | 876,385 | | | $ | 294,033 | | | $ | 1,170,418 | |
Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity | | | | | 183,023 | | | | 419,593 | | | | 602,616 | |
Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity | | | | | 240,488 | | | | 295,470 | | | | 535,958 | |

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of October 31, 2018, the Funds participated in a $770,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs earned $146 and 1,723, in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions on behalf of the Multi-Manager International Equity Fund and Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund, respectively.

As of October 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Multi-Manager International Equity Fund | | | Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund | | | Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund | |
Undistributed ordinary income — net | | $ | 10,561,374 | | | $ | 4,177,967 | | | $ | 3,077,307 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | 12,969,093 | | | | 5,731,187 | | | | 5,219,932 | |
Total undistributed earnings | | $ | 23,530,467 | | | $ | 9,909,154 | | | $ | 8,297,239 | |
Unrealized gains (losses) — net | | | 4,931,818 | | | | 20,307,873 | | | | 15,080,105 | |
Total accumulated earnings (losses) net | | $ | 28,462,285 | | | $ | 30,217,027 | | | $ | 23,377,344 | |
As of October 31, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Multi-Manager International Equity Fund | | | Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund | | | Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 620,744,992 | | | $ | 136,926,341 | | | $ | 297,051,332 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 50,720,075 | | | | 25,498,922 | | | | 37,481,311 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (45,788,257 | ) | | | (5,191,049 | ) | | | (22,401,206 | ) |
Net unrealized gains (losses) | | $ | 4,931,818 | | | $ | 20,307,873 | | | $ | 15,080,105 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments, net mark to market gains/(losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce
45
ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Funds invest. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.
To the extent that the Funds also invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange traded fund (“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.
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.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
46
ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period 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. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Funds’ investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds 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 Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Multi-Manager Approach Risk— The Funds’ performance depends on the ability of the Investment Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Underlying Managers. The Underlying Managers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Funds’ multi-manager approach may result in the Fund investing a significant percentage of its assets in certain types of investments, which could be beneficial or detrimental to the Funds’ performance depending on the performance of those investments and the overall market environment. The Funds’ Underlying Managers may underperform the market generally or underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Funds. Because the Funds’ Underlying Managers may trade with counterparties, prime brokers, clearing brokers or futures commission merchants on terms that are different than those on which the Investment Adviser would trade, and because each Underlying Manager applies its own risk analysis in evaluating potential counterparties for the Funds, the Funds may be subject to greater counterparty risk than if they were managed directly by the Investment Adviser.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for each Fund’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust II and Shareholders of Multi-Manager International Equity Fund, Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund and Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Multi-Manager International Equity Fund, Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund and Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund (three of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust II, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expenses — Period Ended October 31, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class P Shares of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, and (2) 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 the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days in a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class 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 period. 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 under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, 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.

Background
The Multi-Manager International Equity Fund, Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund, and Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust II (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. Each Fund employs a “manager of managers” structure, whereby Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) is responsible for selecting sub-advisers (subject to Board approval), allocating the Fund’s assets among them, and overseeing their day-to-day management of Fund assets. The Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until August 31, 2019 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 August 7-8, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Board also considered the sub-advisory agreements (each a “ Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Adviser and (i) each of Causeway Capital Management LLC, Massachusetts Financial Services Company (d/b/a MFS Investment Management), and WCM Investment Management (on behalf of Multi-Manager International Equity Fund); (ii) each of Lazard Asset Management LLC, Sirios Capital Management, L.P., and Smead Capital Management, Inc. (on behalf of Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund); and (iii) each of Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc., Brown Advisory LLC, and PNC Capital Advisors LLC (on behalf of Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund) (each, a “Designated Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Designated Sub-Advisers”).
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 five meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. 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 and the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements 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, and the Designated Sub-Advisers, including, as applicable, information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and the Designated Sub-Advisers and the Designated Sub-Advisers’ 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 mutual 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 mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), benchmark performance indices, and commingled investment vehicles with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser, as well as general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | | the terms of the Agreements and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (e) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | | 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; |
51
ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
| (ii) | | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | | comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided by the Investment Adviser to certain collective investment vehicles that it manages with comparable investment strategies; |
| (f) | | 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; |
| (g) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (h) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (j) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, and other services; |
| (k) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | | with respect to the Investment Adviser, portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares and the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; information on the Designated Sub-Advisers’ compensation arrangements; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (m) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers (including the Designated Sub-Advisers), and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (n) | | the Investment Adviser’s and Designated Sub-Advisers’ processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; their approaches to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets and share purchase and redemption activity.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Agreements at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Funds and the respective services of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and the Designated Sub-Advisers. 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. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically received written materials and oral presentations from the funds’ various sub-advisers, including the Designated Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual 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. The Independent Trustees reviewed a written response prepared by each Designated Sub-Adviser to a similar request for information submitted to the Designated Sub-Adviser by the Investment Adviser. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. 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. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the Sub-Adviser oversight
52
ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
process that the Investment Adviser had employed, which included areas such as investment analytics, risk management and compliance.
Investment Performance
The Trustees considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that each Fund had significant differences from its Outside Data Provider peer group that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison. The Trustees also compared the investment performance of each Fund to the performance of comparable unregistered funds for which the Investment Adviser also serves as investment adviser. They considered that the unregistered funds provide an imperfect performance comparison because they are not subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and the Sub-Advisers’ 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.
The Trustees noted that the Multi-Manager International Equity Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. They noted that the Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. They noted that the Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement, the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder, and the net amount retained by the Investment Adviser after payment of sub-advisory fees. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed the analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds, as well as additional information provided by the Investment Adviser throughout the year. 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 analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency and custody fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees also considered comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds. They also noted that, in some cases, these collective investment vehicles have a compensation structure that includes performance fees and also pay additional asset-based fees and performance fees to the managers of underlying hedge funds. The Trustees considered that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to these collective investment vehicles, which generally operated under less stringent regulatory and financial reporting requirements, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-sensitive. 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 considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to waive a portion of the management fee payable by each Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser’s institutional clients that are invested in the Funds pay a single management fee for the Investment Adviser’s management of their accounts, and that the Investment Adviser waives a portion of the management fee with respect to each Fund in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate that is equal to the actual cost of fees paid to the Fund’s sub-advisers. They also considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit each Fund’s “other expenses” ratio (excluding certain expenses) to a specified level. In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are
53
ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
The Investment Adviser’s Profitability
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 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 organization had audited 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 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds. The Trustees considered that the Funds are offered to the Investment Adviser’s institutional clients as part of an investment model whereby the Funds and other funds act as core “building blocks” with which the client and the Investment Adviser form an investment strategy for the client’s portfolio. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that its clients benefit from this investment model with increased liquidity, increased investment oversight, access to new investment strategies, economies of scale, and reduced complexity in managing client portfolios. The Trustees noted that, pursuant to the model, clients pay a management fee for the Investment Adviser’s management of their accounts, and that the fund-level management fee in excess of the weighted average sub-advisory fees are waived in order to avoid charging two layers of management fees. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits (if any); information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to waive a portion of its management fee and to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. The Independent Trustees also considered the relationship between the advisory and sub-advisory fee rate schedules.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities transactions (in its capacity as clearing broker) and futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s 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 the Funds’ custodian on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (f) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers (including the Sub-Advisers) 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 potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) access to certain affiliated distribution channels.

Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the investment management fees paid by each Fund were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that the Management Agreement, and the terms thereof, should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until August 31, 2019.
Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements and Performance
In evaluating the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the Designated Sub-Advisers. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by each Designated Sub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services provided to the Funds by their respective Designated Sub-Advisers, including information about each Designated Sub-Adviser’s (a) personnel and compensation structure; (b) track record in managing the Fund and, if applicable, other funds and/or accounts with investment strategies similar to those employed on behalf of the Funds; (c) policies and procedures in place to address potential conflicts of interest; and (d) compliance program and code of ethics. In this regard, they also considered assessments provided by the Investment Adviser of each Designated Sub-Adviser, the Designated Sub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program. The Trustees also reviewed the operations and investment performance of each Designated Sub-Adviser’s respective sleeve of the applicable Fund since its inception, including a comparison of each Designated Sub-Adviser to relevant benchmark indices based on various metrics, including realized beta, excess return, alpha, and volatility.
Costs of Services Provided
The Trustees reviewed the terms of each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the schedule of fees payable to the Designated Sub-Advisers. They considered any breakpoints in the sub-advisory fee rate payable under each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the compensation paid to each Designated Sub-Adviser is paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Funds. The Trustees considered that certain Designated Sub-Advisers had agreed to reduce their sub-advisory fee rate, which benefited shareholders of the applicable Funds in light of the existing management fee waiver arrangement. The Trustees reviewed the blended average of all sub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser with respect to each Fund in light of the overall management fee paid by each Fund.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the sub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser to each Designated Sub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved and continued until August 31, 2019.
New Sub-Advisory Agreement
In addition to the actions taken by the Trustees to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, upon the recommendation of the Investment Adviser, at a meeting held on September 12-13, 2018, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees present, approved a sub-advisory agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Investment Adviser and Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (the “New Sub-Adviser”) on behalf of Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund. In connection with their evaluation of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations prepared by the Investment Adviser and the New Sub-Adviser on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel. In addition, the Trustees received information prepared by the New Sub-Adviser in a written response to a formal request from the Investment Adviser.
55

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services to be Provided Under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement
In evaluating the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the New Sub-Adviser. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the New Sub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services to be provided to the Fund by the New Sub-Adviser, including information about the New Sub-Adviser’s (a) personnel and compensation structure; (b) track record in managing other funds and accounts, which have investment strategies similar to those to be employed on behalf of the Fund; (c) policies and procedures in place to address potential conflicts of interest; and (d) compliance program and code of ethics. In this regard, they also considered assessments provided by the Investment Adviser of the New Sub-Adviser, the New Sub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program. They noted that, because the New Sub-Adviser had not previously provided services to the Fund, there was no performance information to evaluate with respect to the Fund.
Costs of Services to be Provided
The Trustees reviewed the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement and the proposed fee schedule. They noted that the compensation paid to the New Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Fund. They also noted that the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement were the result of arm’s length negotiations between the Investment Adviser and the New Sub-Adviser. The Trustees reviewed the anticipated blended average of all sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Investment Adviser with respect to the Fund and how it would change upon hiring the New Sub-Adviser. They considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to waive the portion of its management fee which is in excess of the weighted average of the Funds’ sub-advisory fees.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Investment Adviser to the New Sub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the terms thereof, should be approved for a period of two years from its effective date.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the portfolio management team of GQG Partners LLC, the Goldman Sachs GQG Partners International Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) sub-adviser, discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -2.92%, -3.57%, -2.52%, -2.64%, -3.16% and -2.52%, respectively. These returns compare to the -8.24% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -5.92% compared to the -11.13% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, non-U.S. developed markets equities and emerging markets equities produced negative returns, with non-U.S. developed markets equities generally outperforming emerging markets equities. |
| As the Reporting Period began in November 2017, the returns of non-U.S. developed markets equities were relatively muted, particularly amongst larger companies. The U.K., however, performed better than many other developed markets. Although the U.K. Prime Minister suffered a defeat in the House of Commons over the European Union Withdrawal Bill in December 2017, the U.K. was judged by the European Union to have made sufficient progress on key issues to allow the next phase of Brexit negotiations — including discussions on trade — to begin. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to leave the European Union.) Meanwhile, a robust third calendar quarter corporate earnings reporting season was a positive driver for emerging markets equities, despite a pullback from a global technology sell-off. A weaker U.S. dollar and commodities strength also helped emerging markets equities close out calendar year 2017 with a healthy total return. In December 2017, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) delivered its third interest rate hike of 2017, as had been widely expected, and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018. |
| Non-U.S. developed markets equities enjoyed a strong start to 2018, driven by market exuberance about strong economic data, the $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform plan passed by Congress and signed into law by the President in December 2017 and the favorable start of the corporate earnings reporting season. Emerging markets equities also advanced, buoyed by a strong global economic backdrop, rising oil prices and a softer U.S. dollar. In February 2018, however, equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes by the Fed, which stoked a sharp rise in bond yields and in equity market volatility. Concerns about monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. labor and inflation data. While the hawkish Fed minutes released were largely expected, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Congressional testimony surprised markets with its hawkish tilt, sparking another sell-off. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In March 2018, escalating trade tensions and tariffs weighed on investor sentiment and on global equity market performance. The same month, the Fed delivered on a consensus-expected interest rate increase, with its projections continuing to point to three interest rate hikes this calendar year. |
| During the second calendar quarter overall, non-U.S. developed markets equities and emerging markets equities declined. In April 2018, non-U.S. developed markets equities were comparatively muted, as the U.S. and China generated trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty stemming from sanctions on Russia surfaced. May 2018 was a volatile month for non-U.S. developed markets equities amid further |

| political and protectionism concerns, including Italian political turmoil, ongoing unpredictability around the U.S.-North Korea summit and escalating trade tensions. The Fed’s interest rate hike in June 2018 was largely expected, but the outcome of the meeting was slightly hawkish. Still-escalating trade tension between the U.S. and China hurt market sentiment, with the U.S. threatening tariffs on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and China vowing to retaliate. Meanwhile, emerging markets equities suffered their first quarterly loss since 2016 during the second quarter of 2018, as headwinds from U.S.-China trade wars, a stronger U.S. dollar and rising U.S. Treasury yields negatively affected sentiment. Investor concern also increased with more focus on the technology sector given ongoing discussion around the regulatory environment, rising geopolitical risks surrounding North Korea and Syria, and the announcement of additional sanctions on Russia. |
| Volatility remained high for non-U.S. developed markets equities and emerging markets equities during the third quarter of 2018, driven both by the trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China and other key U.S. allies and by strong U.S. macroeconomic data relative to other markets. Within non-U.S. developed markets equities, European stocks ended the quarter in positive territory, supported by resilient macroeconomic data and a constructive environment for European companies. Despite this, a number of factors weighed on investor sentiment, including trade tensions and protectionism, uncertainty about Italy’s 2019 budget, the risk of a no-deal Brexit, and concerns that Turkey’s financial crisis could spread to other markets. As for emerging markets equities, they advanced in July 2018 after five consecutive months of declines but resumed their descent in August and September. They closed the third quarter of 2018 with rather flat returns overall, as heightened risk aversion, escalating trade tensions and tightening global liquidity dominated headlines. |
| October 2018 was a difficult and volatile month for equities around the world. Such volatility was driven by various factors, including a delayed response to the rise in global interest rates early in the month, a moderation of economic growth expectations, hawkish rhetoric from Fed policymakers, and concerns around global trade expressed in third quarter 2018 corporate earnings guidance. Chinese equities faced additional headwinds from signs of a domestic economic slowdown to 6.5% year over year in the third quarter of 2018 compared to a 6.8% average year over year growth rate in the first half of 2018, slightly below the 6.6% consensus estimate. In response, Chinese regulators introduced multi-pronged policy measures to stimulate domestic demand. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | While the Fund posted negative absolute returns, it significantly outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. Security selection contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. Asset allocation decisions also added to performance. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors and countries most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from security selection in the financials sector, led by investments in Deutsche Bourse, a German financial exchange; Ping An Insurance, a China-based insurance company; Macquarie Group, an Australia-headquartered asset manager; and London Stock Exchange Group, a U.K. financial exchange. Stocks picks in information technology, such as U.S. payment processors Mastercard and Visa, also contributed positively. Security selection and an underweight in the industrials sector further bolstered performance. Conversely, the Fund was hurt by its large underweight in the energy sector, where it held only one stock, i.e., British-Dutch oil and gas company Royal Dutch Shell. As commodity prices rose during the Reporting Period, such positioning detracted. Within the consumer staples sector, the Fund was hampered by its investments in the beverage industry, including Anheuser-Busch InBev, a Belgium-based drink and brewing company; Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, a Switzerland-headquartered bottler; Diageo, a U.K.-based producer of spirits, beer and wine; and Heineken, a Dutch brewer. An underweight in the utilities sector also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. |
| With regards to countries, the Fund’s exposure to the U.S. was the largest positive contributor to relative returns. Top performers included U.S. electronic payment providers Mastercard and Visa. Exposure to Germany and China also added to returns. On the other hand, the Fund’s allocation to Russia, highlighted by notable individual detractor Yandex, a Russian provider of Internet-related services and products, hurt performance. Exposure to Switzerland and Belgium also detracted from the Fund’s returns. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings were Mastercard, Deutsche Bourse and Visa, each mentioned earlier. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Both Mastercard and Visa posted double-digit gains during the Reporting Period on better than consensus expected earnings. |
| Deutsche Bourse benefited from the increase in market volatility during the Reporting Period, as such volatility boosted trading activity. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, Yandex and ASML Holding were the Fund’s weakest individual performers during the Reporting Period. |
| Shares of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, mentioned earlier, were pressured by weaker than consensus expected earnings, as economic growth slowed in Europe and the emerging markets. |
| Yandex, also mentioned earlier, experienced a share price decline along with other Russian stocks in the wake of U.S. economic sanctions, which were imposed during April 2018. We eliminated the Fund’s position in this provider of Internet-related services and products by the end of April. |
| Despite stronger than market expected earnings, Netherlands-based ASML Holding, which supplies photolithographic equipment for the semiconductor industry, saw its share price retreat amid broad declines in the information technology sector during the final months of the Reporting Period. We, in turn, trimmed the Fund’s position in ASML Holding. |
Q | | Were there any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among notable transactions during the Reporting Period was our decision to exit all of the Fund’s investments in Russia due to the U.S.-imposed sanctions on the country. None of the Fund’s holdings were targeted by the U.S. government, but we decided to take this action because of the changing dimension of risk, i.e., what we considered a potentially catastrophic loss of capital. |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund’s sector and country weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of sector weightings, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to communication services because of a structural change in the regulatory environment for some of the sector’s key companies. (Near the end of September 2018, the telecommunications services sector was renamed the communication services sector and was broadened to include certain companies from the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various media.) Also during the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s exposure to consumer staples, shifting from an underweight position relative to the Index to an overweight, because we thought valuations were starting to look compelling and growth had begun to pick up across certain market segments, such as beverages and spirits. |
| Regarding countries, the Fund increased its exposure to Japanese equities through select investments, as valuations began to look attractive, in our view, following a sell-off in Japan’s stock market. As mentioned previously, we eliminated the Fund’s exposure to Russia after the U.S. imposed economic sanctions. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Forward foreign exchange contracts were used during the Reporting Period as part of the standard process of buying and selling non-U.S. securities in their local currency. The use of forward foreign exchange contracts did not have a material impact on the Fund’s performance. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the consumer staples, information technology, financials, health care and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. It was underweight the real estate, utilities, industrials, energy and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund was rather neutral compared to the Index in the communication services sector at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| In terms of countries, the Fund had significant exposure to the U.S., which had no weighting in the Index at the end of the Reporting Period. It was overweight relative to the Index in France, Hong Kong, India, Switzerland, the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands and Australia. Compared to the Index, the Fund was significantly underweight Japan. It was also underweight Canada, China, Taiwan, Sweden, Brazil, Italy and South Korea. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted in the other countries comprising the Index. |

A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed international equities broadly were a compelling opportunity given the difference in their valuations relative to U.S. stocks. That said, we thought that higher global interest rates were likely to impact economic growth and, therefore, stocks with higher multiples. Consequently, we planned to maintain the Fund’s reduced exposure to cyclical stocks, while increasing its investments in companies with what we saw as stable earnings streams. This meant the Fund’s beta (i.e., its sensitivity to broad market returns) was lower at the end of the Reporting Period than it was when the Reporting Period started. At the same time, its dividend yield was higher at the end of the Reporting Period than at the beginning of November 2017. |
| Looking ahead, we plan to monitor trade-related issues and their potential impact on the international equity markets broadly. We also plan to keep an eye on commodity prices, as higher commodities prices tend to increase inflationary pressures, which could, in turn, affect the monetary policies of global central banks. Overall, our strategy remains the same — to look for what we consider to be high quality companies with solid prospects over the next three years and beyond. The Fund’s positioning will always be affected by share price movements, which may reflect macro events, including political developments, as well as company-specific events, including operational developments and mergers and acquisitions. |

| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The MSCI ACWI ex USA Index is an international equity index that tracks stocks from 22 developed and 24 emerging markets countries. Developed countries include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.K. Emerging markets countries include: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, Qatar, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

| | Class R6 | | | 7.86 | | | | 18.06 | | | | 12/15/16 | |
| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when 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 to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Performance Summary
October 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on December 15, 2016 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA Index (Net, Unhedged) is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which may fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from that of Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

GOLDMAN SACHS GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2018
Goldman Sachs Trust II (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs GQG Partners International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a non-diversified portfolio that currently offers seven classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P (commenced operations on April 16, 2018), Class R and Class R6 Shares.
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R, and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
GQG Partners LLC (“GQG Partners” or the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as the sub-adviser to the Fund. GSAM compensates the Sub-Adviser directly in accordance with the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Fund is not charged any separate or additional investment advisory fees by the Sub-Adviser.

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.
A. Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Fund may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of the Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Fund are charged to the Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class-specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service and Transfer Agency fees.
D. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund were amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations.
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Fund’s net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
F. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the 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 Statement 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 Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The 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.
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 midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). 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. 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.
A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES |
The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the Fund’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to create investment opportunities and/or economically hedge certain investments, and accordingly, certain gains (losses) on such derivative contracts may offset certain (losses) gains attributable to investments. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Statement of Operations:
| | | | | | | | |
Risk | | Statement of Operations | | Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | | Average Number of Contracts(a) |
Currency | | Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency exchange contracts | | $ | (103,063) | | | 1 |
(a) | | Average number of contracts is based on the average of month end balances for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. |
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, the Fund may be required to post initial margin to the counterparty, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that the Sub-Adviser believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Contractual Management Rate | | | | | | | |
First $1 Billion | | | Next $1 Billion | | | Next $3 Billion | | | Next $3 Billion | | | Over $8 Billion | | | Effective Rate | | | Effective Net Management Rate^ | |
| 0.85% | | | | 0.77% | | | | 0.73% | | | | 0.71% | | | | 0.70% | | | | 0.84% | | | | 0.84% | |
^ | | Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. |
The Fund invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Fund invests, except those management fees it earns from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, GSAM waived $ 25,285 of the Fund’s management fee.
B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is 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 or Class R Shares of the Fund, as applicable.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of the Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs as Distributor is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution

| | Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates | |
| | Class A* | | | Class C | | | Class R* | |
Distribution and/or Service Plan | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.50 | % |
* | | With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution 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 — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs retained $34,630 of the front end sales charges for the Fund.
D. Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has 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 provides 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 Fund.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Fund for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.
Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.01% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R6 Shares and Class P Shares of the Fund. These arrangements will remain in effect through at least February 28, 2019 with respect to Class R6 Shares, and April 16, 2019 with respect to Class P Shares, and prior to such dates Goldman Sachs may not terminate these arrangements without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees, taxes, dividend and interest payments on securities sold short, 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 Fund is 0.014%. The Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Fund’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitation described above.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Management Fee Waiver | | | Transfer Agency Waivers/Credits | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Expense Reductions | |
$ | 25,285 | | | $ | 6,782 | | | $ | 858,156 | | | $ | 890,223 | |
G. Line of Credit Facility — As of October 31, 2018, the Fund participated in a $770,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for
26

|
5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Fund based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs earned $386 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2018 The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 49% of Class R Shares.
The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Beginning value as of October 31, 2017 | | Purchases at Cost | | Proceeds from Sales | | | Ending value as of October 31, 2018 | | | Shares as of October 31, 2018 | | | Dividend Income | |
$11,456,987 | | $637,639,186 | | $ | (609,105,669 | ) | | $ | 39,990,504 | | | | 39,990,504 | | | $ | 259,333 | |
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the Fund 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 Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the 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% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management fee of up to 0.205%) 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, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Fund whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL will indemnify the Fund by paying an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Fund’s 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 Fund did not have securities on loan as of October 31, 2018.
The Fund and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statement of Operations.

As of October 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income — net | | $ | 6,036,177 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | — | |

Total accumulated earnings (losses) net | | $ | (28,995,679 | ) |
As of October 31, 2018, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax cost | | $ | 1,275,170,352 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 37,085,543 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (48,464,910) | |
Net unrealized security loss | | $ | (11,379,367) | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The Fund reclassed $8,548 from paid in capital to distributable earning for the year ending October 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and result primarily from non-deductible expenses.
GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior year, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Fund’s use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations,
29
GOLDMAN SACHS GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the 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 the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If the 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.
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.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include the Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. These risks may be more pronounced
in connection with the Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Non-Diversification Risk — The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, the 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.

In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust II and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs GQG Partners International Opportunities Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs GQG Partners International Opportunities Fund (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust II, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2018 and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2018 and for the period December 15, 2016 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2017, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year ended October 31, 2018, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2018 and for the period December 15, 2016 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2017 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended October 31, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days out of 365 day year.
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 period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, 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 GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs GQG Partners International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust II (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Fund at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until August 31, 2019 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 August 7-8, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Board also considered the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Adviser and GQG Partners LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”).
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 five meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. 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 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to the Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and the Sub-Adviser, including, as applicable, information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team; |
| (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 mutual 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 mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and a benchmark performance index; and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | | the terms of the Agreements and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (e) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | | 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; |
| (ii) | | the Fund’s expense tends over time; and |
| (iii) | | comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided by the Investment Adviser to a non-U.S. fund that it manages with comparable investment strategies; |
| (f) | | 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; |
| (g) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (h) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency, distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
35
GOLDMAN SACHS GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (j) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, securities lending, portfolio trading, distribution and other services; |
| (k) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; information on the Sub-Adviser’s compensation arrangements; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio manager; |
| (m) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers (including the Sub-Adviser), 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 |
| (n) | | the Investment Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; their approaches to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Fund’s distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Fund’s assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution and service fees. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Fund and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Agreements at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Fund and the respective services of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser. 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. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically received written materials and oral presentations from the funds’ various sub-advisers, including the Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual 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. The Independent Trustees reviewed a written response prepared by the Sub-Adviser to a similar request for information submitted to the Sub-Adviser by the Investment Adviser. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services (including oversight of the Sub-Adviser’s day-to-day management of the Fund) that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Fund and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Fund and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of the Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider. The Trustees also reviewed the
36
GOLDMAN SACHS GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. They reviewed the investment performance of the Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Fund’s risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had outperformed the Fund’s primary benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement, the fee rates payable by the Fund thereunder, and the net amount retained by the Investment Adviser after payment of sub-advisory fees. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as a registered mutual fund.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed the analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Fund, as well as additional information provided by the Investment Adviser throughout the year. The analyses provided a comparison of the Fund’s management fee and breakpoints 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 analyses also compared the Fund’s transfer agency, custody, distribution fees, other expenses, and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. 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 Fund.
The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit the Fund’s “other expenses” ratio (excluding certain expenses) to a specified level. They also considered comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to a non-U.S. fund that has investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
The Investment Adviser’s Profitability
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 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 organization had audited 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 Fund was provided for 2017, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for the Fund at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Fund:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Management Fee Annual Rate | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.85 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.77 | % |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.73 | % |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.71 | % |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.70 | % |
37
GOLDMAN SACHS GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Fund and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Fund; the Fund’s recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed specified levels. The Independent Trustees also considered the relationship between the advisory and sub-advisory fee rate schedules. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities transactions (in its capacity as clearing broker) and futures transactions on behalf of the Fund; (c) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the portfolio in which the cash collateral is invested); (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s other clients; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (f) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund distributor; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with the Fund’s custodian on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (h) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third-party service providers (including the Sub-Adviser) 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. They also considered the benefits to GSAL and the Investment Adviser from the securities lending program and observed that the benefit to the Fund from its participation in the program was greater than the benefits to GSAL and the Investment Adviser as measured by the revenue each party received in connection with the program.
Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Fund receives certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (d) 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; (e) 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; (f) the Fund’s ability to participate in the securities lending program administered by GSAL, as measured by the revenue received by the Fund in connection with the program; and (g) access to certain affiliated distribution channels.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the investment management fees paid by the Fund were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that the Management Agreement, and the terms thereof, should be approved and continued with respect to the Fund until August 31, 2019.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Sub-Advisory Agreement with GQG Partners LLC
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement
In evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Sub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services provided to the Fund by the Sub-Adviser, including information about the Sub-Adviser’s (a) personnel and compensation structure; (b) track record in managing the Fund and other funds and/or accounts with investment strategies similar to those employed on behalf of the Fund; (c) policies and procedures in place to address potential conflicts of interest; and (d) compliance program and code of ethics. In this regard, they also considered assessments provided by the Investment Adviser of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program.
Costs of Services Provided
The Trustees reviewed the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the schedule of fees payable to the Sub-Adviser. They considered the breakpoints in the sub-advisory fee rate payable under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the compensation paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Fund. They also considered the expense limitations that substantially reduce the fees retained by the Investment Adviser, and that the retention of the Sub-Adviser does not directly increase the fees incurred by the Fund for advisory services. They considered the Investment Adviser’s belief that the relationship between the management fees paid by the Fund and the sub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser is appropriate given the level of services the Investment Adviser provides to the Fund and significant differences in cost drivers and risks associated with the respective services offered by the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser.

Investment Objective
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Group discusses the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor and Class R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -3.03%, -3.70%, -2.72%, -2.73% and -3.25%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.68% average annual total return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the ICE BofAML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “ICE BofAML Index”), which reflects no deductions for fees or expenses, during the same time period. The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (the “HFRX Index”) (net of management, administrative and performance/incentive fees), a broad proxy for hedge fund performance and the Fund’s secondary benchmark, returned -3.53% during the Reporting Period. |
| | From their inception on February 28, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of -2.05% compared to the 1.26% cumulative total return of the ICE BofAML Index. The HFRX Index returned -4.27% during the same period. |
| | From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -2.06% compared to the 1.05% cumulative total return of the ICE BofAML Index. The HFRX Index returned -3.91% during the same period. |
| | References to the Fund’s benchmarks mentioned herein are for informational purposes only, and unless otherwise noted, are not an indication of how the Fund is managed. The use of the ICE BofAML Index as the Fund’s benchmark does not imply the Fund is being managed like cash and does not imply low risk or low volatility. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the financial markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The capital markets experienced mixed results during the Reporting Period amidst a resurgence of volatility. |
| | When the Reporting Period began in November 2017, global equity markets marched higher, extending their record highs of the calendar year on the heels of strong corporate earnings growth and positive business sentiment. Bullish market sentiment was further augmented by the passage of a U.S. tax reform bill in December 2017. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) decision in the same month to raise short-term interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point did little to temper the rally, as the rate hike was largely driven by the Fed’s positive outlook for U.S. economic growth and a strong jobs market. In late January 2018, the U.S. dollar fell to a three-year low versus other developed markets currencies based on concerns about rhetoric from the U.S. Treasury Secretary, who said he favored a weak U.S. dollar, as well as by what investors perceived as the erosion of the U.S. dollar’s yield relative to those of other currencies. During February 2018, volatility returned to the capital markets amid bond market jitters and a significant sell-off in the global equity markets, which was largely influenced by a rise in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. The U.S. Administration’s announcement of steel and aluminum tariffs compounded equity investors’ concerns. In March 2018, at Jerome Powell’s first policy meeting as Fed chair, the U.S. central bank raised short-term interest rates by another quarter percentage point. Fed policymakers went on to raise short-term rates by the same amount on two more occasions—in June and September 2018, and the capital markets anticipated a fourth hike before calendar year end. The Fed’s interest rate hikes led to higher U.S. bond yields, which, in addition to strong corporate earnings growth and a relatively stable macroeconomic picture, helped keep global |

| equity markets rather range bound between March and September 2018. Then, in October, global equities sold off significantly, largely erasing earlier gains. The sell-off was triggered by the continued rise in U.S. bond yields and emerging signs of a slowdown in global economic growth, which sparked investors’ rotation out of growth- and momentum-oriented sectors, such as consumer discretionary and information technology, into value-oriented sectors, such as energy, and traditionally defensive sectors, such as utilities. Global equities finished the Reporting Period with modest losses, as positive returns in the U.S. were offset by the negative performance of European and emerging markets stocks. From a sector perspective, gains overall in health care and information technology were offset by declines in financials and industrials. In commodities, energy prices broadly moved higher during the Reporting Period overall on a combination of U.S. sanctions on Russia, trade disputes and continuing tightness in crude oil supplies. However, metals lagged, particularly in the closing months of the Reporting Period, as the outlook for global economic growth became a focal point for investors. |
| | Credit markets generally sold off during the Reporting Period overall, as a more hawkish Fed continued to forecast additional interest rate hikes against the backdrop of strong U.S. economic growth and increasing signs of inflation. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Credit spreads, or yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity, widened slightly, with concerns about U.S.-China trade tensions weighing on investor sentiment for corporate bonds. Floating-rate bank loans were the best performing sector in the U.S. fixed income markets during the Reporting Period, as each increase in LIBOR boosted coupon payments, fueling investor demand. (LIBOR is London interbank offered rates, which are floating interest rates widely used as reference rates in bank, corporate and government lending agreements.) Demand for floating-rate bank loans came at the expense of fixed-rate investment grade bonds and fixed-rate high yield corporate bonds. That said, high yield corporate bonds recorded a positive return for the Reporting Period overall, as their higher yields generally offset the negative effects of their greater duration and the widening of credit spreads. (Duration measures sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) Outside the U.S., emerging markets credit spreads also widened, as rising U.S. interest rates proved to be a headwind for emerging markets debt. Meanwhile, a strong U.S. dollar dampened the performance of local emerging markets bonds. As a result, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt and local emerging markets debt were among the worst performing fixed income sectors of the Reporting Period overall. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generally seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets among multiple unaffiliated investment managers (“Underlying Managers”) that employ one or more non-traditional and alternative investment strategies. The AIMS Group is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating or replacing the Fund’s Underlying Managers as well as for determining the Fund’s asset allocations. The AIMS Group applies a multifaceted process with respect to manager due diligence, portfolio construction and risk management. |
| | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s performance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers. |
| | At various points during the Reporting Period, the Fund had capital allocated to 17 Underlying Managers — Acadian Asset Management LLC (“Acadian”); Algert Global LLC (“Algert”); Ares Capital Management II LLC (“Ares”); Atreaus Capital, LP (“Atreaus”); Bardin Hill Arbitrage IC Management LP (“Bardin Hill”) (known as Halcyon Arbitrage IC Management LP prior to October 23, 2018); Brigade Capital Management, LP (“Brigade”); Crabel Capital Management, LLC (“Crabel”); Emso Asset Management Limited (“Emso”); First Pacific Advisors, LP (“FPA”); GQG Partners LLC (“GQG Partners”); Graham Capital Management, L.P. (“Graham”); New Mountain Vantage Advisers, L.L.C. (“New Mountain Vantage”); One River Asset Management, LLC (“One River”); QMS Capital Management LP (“QMS”); River Canyon Fund Management LLC (“River Canyon”); Sirios Capital Management, L.P. (“Sirios”); and Wellington Management Company LLC (“Wellington”). |
| | These 17 Underlying Managers represented five strategies — equity long/short (FPA, Sirios and Wellington); event driven and credit (Ares, Bardin Hill, Brigade, New Mountain Vantage and River Canyon); tactical trading (Atreaus, Crabel, Emso, Graham, One River and QMS); relative value (Acadian and Algert); and dynamic equity (GQG Partners). |
| | Of the 17 Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the Reporting Period, four generated positive returns and 13 generated negative returns. |

| | In addition, during the Reporting Period, the Fund allocated assets to Russell Investments Commodity Advisor, LLC (“RICA”). (Effective January 30, 2018, RICA agreed to be bound by and assume all of the rights and obligations of Russell Investments Implementation Services, LLC under the sub-advisory agreement between GSAM and Russell Investments Implementation Services, LLC with respect to the Fund.) RICA manages a beta completion mandate for the Fund, which provides us with an additional tool to manage the beta of the Fund and is not used to override any views and/or decisions of the Fund’s Underlying Managers. (Beta is a measure of the sensitivity of a portfolio’s returns to broad market returns.) During the Reporting Period, RICA contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. |
Q | | Which strategies most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Of the five strategies employed across the Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period, four generated negative returns and one generated a positive return. The Fund did not have an allocation to the opportunistic fixed income strategy during the Reporting Period. |
| | The Fund’s equity long/short strategy detracted most from performance, largely because of Underlying Managers’ positions in the financials, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Leading individual detractors were Affiliated Managers Group, a U.S. investment management firm; D.R. Horton, a U.S. home construction company; and Tencent Holdings, a China-based internet services conglomerate. The long/short strategy’s losses were offset slightly by its gains in the industrials and health care sectors, which contributed positively. Notable individual contributors included CSX, a U.S. company focusing on rail transportation and real estate; U.S.-based World Wrestling Entertainment; and Boston Scientific, a U.S.-based manufacturer of medical devices. Equity long/short strategies generally involve long and short investing, based on fundamental evaluations, research and various analytical measurements, in equity and equity-related investments. Equity long/short managers may, for example, buy stocks they expect to outperform or they believe are undervalued, and may also sell short stocks they believe will underperform or they believe are overvalued. Long positions benefit from an increase in the price of the underlying instrument or asset class, while short positions benefit from a decrease in that price. |
| | The dynamic equity strategy hurt the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, driven by losses in the energy, financials and utilities sectors. Notable individual detractors were India’s HDFC Bank, U.S. social media company Facebook and South Korea-based Samsung Electronics. On a regional basis, the dynamic equity strategy was hurt by its exposure to Europe (ex-U.K.) and Asia (ex-Japan). Dynamic equity strategies generally involve investing in equity instruments, often with a long-term view, and may have low excess return correlations to traditional long-only equity strategies. Dynamic equity strategies are less likely to track a benchmark than traditional long-only strategies, and dynamic equity managers are less constrained than traditional long-only managers with respect to factors such as position concentration, sector and country weights, style and market capitalization. |
| | The relative value strategy detracted from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period, led by Underlying Managers’ losses in the health care, materials and utilities sectors. These negative results were offset somewhat by gains in the information technology, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors. Relative value strategies seek to identify and capitalize on price discrepancies between related assets (assets that share a common financial factor, such as interest rates, an issuer, or an index). Relative value strategies generally rely on arbitrage (the simultaneous purchase and sale of related assets) and may exist between two issuers or within the capital structure of a single issuer. These strategies attempt to exploit a source of return with low correlation to the market and include, among others, fixed income arbitrage, convertible arbitrage, volatility arbitrage, statistical arbitrage and equity market neutral strategies. |
| | The tactical trading strategy detracted slightly from performance during the Reporting Period, with the macro and managed futures strategies both diminishing Fund results. Within macro strategies, the key theme of Japanese cyclical reflation, as well as positions in external sovereign bonds, hampered results. This was partially offset by the positive performance of the key themes of U.S. stagflation (expressed by certain Underlying Managers through short positions in the U.S. dollar versus long positions in the Japanese yen) and global growth desynchronization. Positions in corporate emerging markets bonds also added value. Within managed futures strategies, the Underlying Managers were hurt by trading in stock indices and currencies, which was counterbalanced slightly by trading gains in energy and interest rates. Tactical trading strategies seek to produce total return by long and short investing across global fixed income, currency, equity and commodity |

| markets. Tactical trading managers may employ various investment styles of which the two major strategies are macro and managed futures. Tactical trading managers that employ a global macro style may select their investments based upon fundamental and/or technical analysis. Tactical trading managers that employ a managed futures investing style may use quantitative modeling techniques, e.g., determining an asset’s value based upon an analysis of price history, price momentum and the asset’s value relative to that of other assets, among other factors. Some tactical trading managers may employ both fundamental analysis and quantitative modeling techniques. Tactical trading managers typically have no bias to be long, short or neutral, but at any given time may have significant long or short exposures in a particular market or asset. |
| | On the positive side, the Fund’s event driven and credit strategy overall bolstered returns during the Reporting Period. Within merger arbitrage strategies, which involve taking long and/or short positions in securities affected by a corporate merger or acquisition, the Fund was helped by select positions in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary and communications services sectors. (Near the end of September 2018, the telecommunications services sector was renamed the communication services sector and was broadened to include certain companies from the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various media.) Within equity-oriented event driven strategies, top individual contributors included Twenty First Century Fox, a U.S. mass media company; Spectrum Brands, a U.S. diversified consumer products company; UBM, a U.K.-headquartered business-to-business events organizer; Nexstar, a U.S. telecommunications company; and British Sky Broadcasting, a U.K.-headquartered media company. Among individual detractors were a number of U.S. companies, including streaming device maker Roku, credit card processor First Data, diversified holding company HRG Group and oil and gas exploration company Energen. Within credit strategies, the Fund benefited from positions in select corporate bonds. Among the top individual contributors were the C-rated corporate bonds of U.S. music retailer Guitar Center and U.S. power generator Vistra Energy. Losses were concentrated in health care and energy corporate bonds, such as Canada-based Bausch Health Companies (formerly Valeant Pharmaceuticals) and U.S.-based drilling services company Noble Holding International. Event driven and credit strategies seek to achieve gains from market movements in security prices caused by specific corporate events or changes in perceived relative value. These strategies may include, among others, merger arbitrage, distressed credit, opportunistic credit and value with a catalyst investing style. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Underlying Managers of the Fund employ derivatives and similar instruments as part of their underlying strategies to hedge market exposure and/or to gain implicit leverage, subject to the constraints of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The derivatives used most by Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period were commodity futures, equity futures and over-the-counter equity options, total return swaps (single name and index), bond futures, credit default swaps (single name and index), interest rate futures, interest rate swaps, swaptions (options on interest rate swap contracts), inflation swaps, currency futures, over-the-counter options on foreign currency and forward foreign exchange contracts. Overall, the use of derivatives and similar instruments by the Underlying Managers had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations and Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, shifts in the Fund’s asset allocation were made in response to the market environment and were also the result of changes in allocations to the Fund’s various strategies. One of the shifts in strategy allocation during the Reporting Period was an increase in the Fund’s exposure to the event driven and credit strategy. Most of the increase occurred in December 2017, with further increases in January, February and April 2018. This was largely driven by the addition of Bardin Hill as an Underlying Manager within the Fund’s event driven and credit strategy. Our decision to increase the Fund’s allocation to the event driven and credit strategy was partly due to the passage of U.S. tax reform, which had the potential, in our view, to increase mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) volume and create a more attractive opportunity set. Bardin Hill has a focus on M&A. We funded the increase in the Fund’s allocation to the event driven and credit strategy by reducing its allocation to the relative value strategy. In addition, within the event driven and credit strategy, we added River Canyon as an Underlying Manager to manage a structured credit strategy for the Fund. We also diversified the lineup of |

| Underlying Managers within the tactical trading strategy through the addition of Crabel. Crabel manages two managed futures strategies — Crabel Gemini, a systematic strategy with a 10-day average holding period, and Crabel Advanced Trend, a systematic strategy with a 35-day average holding period. In June 2018, we added exposure to the dynamic equity strategy through the addition of GQG Partners as an Underlying Manager. GQG Partners manages a long-only, relatively concentrated international equity strategy, with a focus on identifying businesses with inherent and sustainable competitive advantages and earnings growth. |
| | Overall, we added four Underlying Managers and removed three Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period. As mentioned previously, we added Bardin Hill, Crabel, River Canyon and GQG Partners. Bardin Hill was added as an Underlying Manager within the Fund’s event driven and credit strategy, joining Ares, Brigade and New Mountain Vantage, and was allocated capital in December 2017. Crabel was added as an Underlying Manager within the Fund’s tactical trading strategy, joining Atreaus, Emso, Graham, One River and QMS, and was allocated capital in March 2018. River Canyon was added as an Underlying Manager within the Fund’s event driven and credit strategy, joining Ares, Bardin Hill and Brigade, and was allocated capital during April 2018. GQG Partners was added as an Underlying Manager within the Fund’s dynamic equity strategy and was allocated capital in June 2018. Effective March 19, 2018, New Mountain Vantage no longer served as an Underlying Manager within the Fund’s event driven and credit strategy. Graham and Atreaus no longer served as Underlying Managers within the tactical trading strategy, as of May 15, 2018 and September 28, 2018, respectively. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, Robert Mullane was added as a portfolio manager for the Fund, effective November 27, 2017. Effective June 15, 2018, he transferred to a different group within Goldman Sachs and no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. As of December 15, 2017, Ryan Roderick no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Fund. By design, all investment decisions for the Fund are performed within a co-lead or team structure, with multiple subject matter experts. This strategic decision making has been the cornerstone of our approach and ensures continuity in the Fund. At the end of the Reporting Period, the portfolio managers for the Fund were Kent Clark and Betsy Gorton, who have been the Fund’s portfolio managers since 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | We intend to continue to closely monitor global economic growth, monetary policy and market volatility, while using active portfolio management and alternative investment strategies to position the Fund as we aim to deliver positive absolute returns across a variety of market environments. We believe the flexibility to allocate tactically across these alternative strategies may enable us to provide investors with positive absolute returns in a variety of market conditions and with significant diversification benefits. We intend to continue to actively explore adding new managers with what we consider to be unique alternative capabilities as market conditions warrant. |

STRATEGY ALLOCATION (%)9 |
As of October 31, 2018 |

| 9 | | Equity Long/Short Strategies generally involve long and short investing, based on fundamental evaluations, research and various analytical measurements, in equity and equity-related investments. Dynamic Equity Strategies generally are long-biased strategies that are less constrained than traditional long-only managers with respect to factors such as position concentration, sector and country weights, style, and market capitalization. Relative Value Strategies seek to identify and benefit from pricing discrepancies between related assets. Event Driven and Credit Strategies seek to achieve gains from market movements in security prices caused by specific corporate events or changes in perceived relative value. Tactical Trading Strategies seek to produce total return by long and short investing across global fixed income, currency, equity, and commodity markets. Tactical Trading managers typically have no bias to be long, short, or neutral but at any given time may have significant long or short exposures in a particular market or asset class. The percentages above exclude cash and the allocation to Russell Investments Commodity Advisor, LLC, which manages a beta completion mandate for the Fund. |

GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
Performance Summary
October 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 30, 2013 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s current benchmarks, the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, are shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which may fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from that of Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Underlying Managers’ decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Basis of Consolidation for the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund — The Cayman Commodity — MMA, Ltd., the Cayman Commodity — MMA II, Ltd., the Cayman Commodity — MMA IV, Ltd., and the Cayman Commodity — MMA V, Ltd. (each a “Subsidiary” and together the “Subsidiaries”), Cayman Islands exempted companies, respectively, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Fund. The Subsidiaries act as investment vehicles for the Fund to enable the Fund to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiaries and it is intended that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiaries. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of each Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of October 31, 2018, the Fund’s net assets were $532,550,675 of which, $2,987,597, or 0.6%, represented the Cayman Commodity — MMA IV, Ltd.’s net assets and $3,141,554, or 0.6%, represented the Cayman Commodity — MMA V, Ltd.’s net assets. As of October 31, 2018, the Cayman Commodity — MMA, Ltd. and the Cayman Commodity — MMA II, Ltd. did not hold any assets.
B. Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
C. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Fund may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting swap contracts whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income. For treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost.
D. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of the Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Fund are charged to the Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and 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 the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Fund’s net assets on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
F. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the 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 Consolidated Statement 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.
G. Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of the Fund, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | | |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Fund’s policy is to
use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to
70
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Fund invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’s shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of

October 31, 2018
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
treasury securities of G8 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. Bank Loans — Bank loans (“Loans”) are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. Loans are arranged through private negotiations between the borrower and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”). The Fund’s investments in Loans are in the form of either participations in Loans (“Participations”) or assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third parties (“Assignments”). With respect to Participations, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the Lender selling the Participations and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement with respect to Participations. Conversely, assignments result in the Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may be permitted to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
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. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
An MRA governs transactions between the Fund and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation of the transaction, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty.
If the seller defaults, the Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund are less than the repurchase price and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, a court could determine that the Fund’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Under these joint accounts, the Fund maintains pro-rata credit exposure to the underlying repurchase agreements’ counterparties. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Fund is not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
72
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Securities Sold Short — Securities sold short are those securities which the Fund has sold but which it does not own. When the Fund sells a security it does not own, it must borrow the security that was sold and generally delivers the proceeds from the short sale to the broker through which it made the short sale. In addition, cash and certain investments in securities may be used to collateralize the securities sold short. Each day the securities sold short transaction is open, the liability to replace the borrowed security is marked to market and an unrealized gain or loss is recorded. While the transaction remains open, the Fund may also incur expenses for any dividends or interest which will be paid to the lender of the securities as well as a fee to borrow the delivered security. During the term of the short sale, the value of the securities pledged as collateral on short sales is required to exceed the value of the securities sold short. The market value of securities pledged as collateral is included in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The 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.
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 midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). 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. 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.
A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.
ii. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Upon entering into a futures contract, the 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 the 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
iii. Options — When the 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 interest rate swap contracts.
73
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the 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.
iv. Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which the Fund and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between the Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”) (“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, the Fund is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a triparty account on behalf of the counterparty), which can be adjusted by any mark-to-market gains or losses pursuant to bilateral or centrally cleared arrangements. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin.
An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in interest rates on a specified notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
A credit default swap is an agreement that involves one party (the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. The Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If the Fund buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, the Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted reference obligation in a physically settled trade. The Fund may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade.
As a seller of protection, the Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Fund sells protection through a credit default swap, the Fund could suffer a loss because the value of the referenced obligation and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, the Fund, as a seller of credit protection, may be required to take possession of the defaulted reference obligation and pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap in a physically settled trade. The Fund may also pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted security or obligation. In addition, the Fund is entitled to a return of any assets, which have been pledged as collateral to the counterparty upon settlement.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where the Fund bought credit protection.
A total return swap is an agreement that gives the Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, basket of investments or indices, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will

typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, the Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

The following tables set forth, by certain risk types, the gross value of derivative contracts (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) as of October 31, 2018. These instruments were used as part of the Fund’s investment strategies and to obtain and/or manage exposure related to the risks below. The values in the tables below exclude the effects of cash collateral received or posted pursuant to these derivative contracts, and therefore are not representative of the Fund’s net exposure.

The following tables set forth, by certain risk types, the Fund’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to create investment opportunities and/or economically hedge certain investments, and accordingly, certain gains (losses) on such derivative contracts may offset certain (losses) gains attributable to investments. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps) and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, the Fund may be required to post initial margin to the counterparty, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that the Underlying Managers believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.
The following table sets forth the Fund’s net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of October 31, 2018:

* | | Effective June 1, 2018 GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve a net management fee rate of 1.57% as an annual percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund as defined in the Fund’s most recent prospectus. This arrangement will be effective through at least May 31, 2019, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. Prior to June 1, 2018, GSAM had agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve a net management fee rate of 1.83% as an annual percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund. |

The Fund invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Fund invests. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, GSAM waived $329,186 of the Fund’s management fee.
GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiaries pursuant to Subsidiary Management Agreements (the “Subsidiary Agreements”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of each Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiaries’ management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreements remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiaries under the Subsidiary Agreements. For the fiscal year ended ended October 31, 2018, GSAM waived $50,062 of the Fund’s management fee. This waiver represents an inter-fund transaction and, accordingly, has been eliminated in consolidation.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of October 31, 2018, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 472,404,352 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 10,502,625 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (13,636,407 | ) |
Net unrealized gains (losses) | | $ | (3,133,782 | ) |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, foreign currency contracts, differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, and swap transactions.
The Fund reclassed $4,542,141 from paid in capital to distributable earnings for the year ended October 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund’s and result primarily from net operating losses, and differences in the tax treatment of swaps transactions and underlying fund investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s 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 Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Fund’s use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets being hedged, if any.
Foreign Custody Risk — If the Fund invests in foreign securities 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 the 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.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has
82
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Fund.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include the Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Leverage Risk — Leverage creates exposure to potential gains and losses in excess of the initial amount invested. Borrowing and the use of derivatives may result in leverage and may make the Fund more volatile. When the Fund uses leverage, the sum of that Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. The Fund will identify liquid assets on its books or otherwise cover transactions that may give rise to such risk, to the extent required by applicable law. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by the Fund can substantially increase the adverse impact to which the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.
Liquidity Risk — The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. 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 mutual 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 the Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries.
Loan-Related Investments Risk — In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments, loan-related investments such as loan participations and assignments are subject to other risks. Although a loan obligation may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to
83

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
investment. Many loan investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. There is less readily available, reliable information about most loan investments than is the case for many other types of securities. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan obligation defaults. With respect to loan participations, the Fund may not always have direct recourse against a borrower if the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and/or interest; may be subject to greater delays, expenses and risks than if the Fund had purchased a direct obligation of the borrower; and may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower), subjecting the Fund to the creditworthiness of that lender as well. Investors in loans, such as the Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, although they may be entitled to certain contractual remedies. The market for loan obligations may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Because transactions in many loans are subject to extended trade settlement periods, the Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund’s redemption obligations for a period after the sale of the loans, and, as a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions, such as borrowing from its credit facility, if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.
Senior Loans hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, and are typically secured with specific collateral, but are nevertheless usually rated below investment grade. Because Second Lien Loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority of payment to Senior Loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Multi-Manager Approach Risk — The Fund’s performance depends on the ability of the Investment Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Underlying Managers. The Underlying Managers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Fund’s multi-manager approach may result in the Fund investing a significant percentage of its assets in certain types of investments, which could be beneficial or detrimental to the Fund’s performance depending on the performance of those investments and the overall market environment. The Fund’s Underlying Managers may underperform the market generally or underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund. Because the Fund’s Underlying Managers may trade with counterparties, prime brokers, clearing brokers or futures commission merchants on terms that are different than those on which the Investment Adviser would trade, and because each Underlying Manager applies its own risk analysis in evaluating potential counterparties for the Fund, the Fund may be subject to greater counterparty risk than if it was managed directly by the Investment Adviser.
Short Position Risk — The Fund may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that the Fund may purchase for investment. Taking short positions involves leverage of a Fund’s assets and presents various risks, including counterparty risk. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which the Fund has taken a short position increases, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in value from the time that the short position was entered into plus any related interest payments or other fees. Taking short positions involves the risk that losses may be disproportionate, may exceed the amount invested, and may be unlimited. To the extent that the Fund uses the proceeds it receives from a short position to take additional long positions, the risks associated with the short position, including leverage risks, may be heightened, because doing so increases the exposure of the Fund to the markets and therefore could magnify changes to the Fund’s NAV.
Tax Risk — The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary and/or commodity index-linked structured notes, as applicable. Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued private letter rulings (“PLRs”) in which the IRS specifically concluded that income and gains from investments in commodity index-linked structured notes or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments are “qualifying income” for
84
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
purposes of compliance with Subchapter M of the Code. However, the Fund has not received a PLR, and is not able to rely on PLRs issued to other taxpayers. Additionally, the IRS has suspended the granting of such PLRs, pending review of its position on this matter. The IRS also recently issued proposed regulations that, if finalized, would generally treat the Fund’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income only if there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of a subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion. The proposed regulations, if adopted, would apply to taxable years beginning on or after 90 days after the regulations are published as final.
The IRS also recently issued a revenue procedure, which states that the IRS will not in the future issue PLRs that would require a determination of whether an asset (such as a commodity index-linked note) is a “security” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund has obtained an opinion of counsel that the Fund’s income from such investments should constitute “qualifying income.” However, no assurances can be provided that the IRS would not be able to successfully assert that the Fund’s income from such investments was not “qualifying income,” in which case the Fund would fail to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code if over 10% of its gross income were derived from these investments. If the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC, it would be subject to federal and state income tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. This would significantly adversely affect the returns to, and could cause substantial losses for, Fund shareholders.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 — Receivables —Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
Subsequent events after the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.
On November 19, 2018, the Trustees approved ADG Capital Management LLP (“ADG”) and Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (“Artisan Partners”) to serve as additional Underlying Managers of the Fund, and ADG will serve as an Underlying Manager of an existing wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, organized as a company under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
Other than the above, GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust II and Shareholders of
Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund and its subsidiaries (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust II, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2018, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2018, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2018 and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended October 31, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class 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 period. 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 under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, 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 MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust II (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Fund at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. The Fund employs a “manager of managers” structure, whereby Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) is responsible for selecting sub-advisers (subject to Board approval), allocating the Fund’s assets among them, and overseeing their day-to-day management of Fund assets. The Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser on behalf of the Fund.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until August 31, 2019 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 August 7-8, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Board also considered the sub-advisory agreements (each a “Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Adviser and each of Acadian Asset Management LLC, Algert Global LLC, Ares Capital Management II LLC, Atreaus Capital, LP, Brigade Capital Management, LP, Emso Asset Management Limited, First Pacific Advisors, LLC, One River Asset Management LLC, QMS Capital Management LP, Russell Investments Commodity Advisor, LLC, Sirios Capital Management, L.P., and Wellington Management Company LLP (each a “Designated Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Designated Sub-Advisers”).
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 five meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. 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 and the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to the Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and the Designated Sub-Advisers, including, as applicable, information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and the Designated Sub-Advisers and the Designated Sub-Advisers’ 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 mutual 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 mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), benchmark performance indices, and commingled investment vehicles with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser, as well as general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | | the terms of the Agreements and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (e) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | | 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; |
| (ii) | | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | | comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided by the Investment Adviser to certain collective investment vehicles that it manages with comparable investment strategies; |
89
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
| (f) | | 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; |
| (g) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (h) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency, distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; (j) a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, distribution and other services; |
| (k) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | | with respect to the Investment Adviser, portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares and the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; information on the Designated Sub-Advisers’ compensation arrangements; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (m) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers (including the Designated Sub-Advisers), and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (n) | | the Investment Adviser’s and Designated Sub-Advisers’ processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; their approaches to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Fund’s distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Fund’s assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution and service fees. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Fund and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Agreements at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Fund and the respective services of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and the Designated Sub-Advisers. 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. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically received written materials and oral presentations from the funds’ various sub-advisers, including the Designated Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual 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. The Independent Trustees reviewed a written response prepared by each Designated Sub-Adviser to a similar request for information submitted to the Designated Sub-Adviser by the Investment Adviser. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. They also recalled presentations received during the past year, which described portfolio manager changes for the Fund. The Trustees noted the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Fund and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Fund and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the Sub-Adviser oversight process that the Investment Adviser had employed, which included areas such as investment analytics, risk management and compliance.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Investment Performance
The Trustees considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of the Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmarks. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Fund over time, and reviewed the investment performance of the Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that the Fund had significant differences from its Outside Data Provider peer group and benchmark indices that caused them to be imperfect bases for comparison. The Trustees also compared the investment performance of the Fund to the performance of comparable unregistered funds for which the Investment Adviser also serves as investment adviser. They considered that the unregistered funds provide an imperfect performance comparison because they are not subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and the Sub-Advisers’ portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Fund’s risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had underperformed the Fund’s primary benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods ended May 31, 2018.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement, the fee rates payable by the Fund thereunder, and the net amount retained by the Investment Adviser after payment of sub-advisory fees. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as a registered mutual fund.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed the analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Fund, as well as additional information provided by the Investment Adviser throughout the year. The analyses provided a comparison of the Fund’s management fee and breakpoints 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 analyses also compared the Fund’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees also considered comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund. They also noted that, in some cases, these collective investment vehicles have a compensation structure that includes performance fees and also pay additional asset-based fees and performance fees to the managers of underlying hedge funds. The Trustees considered that services provided to the Fund differed in various significant respects from the services provided to these collective investment vehicles, which generally operated under less stringent regulatory and financial reporting requirements, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-sensitive. 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 Fund.
The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount equal to the aggregate management fees paid to the Investment Adviser as the investment adviser to the Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Trustees recognized that, in May 2018, the Investment Adviser had increased the amount of the management fee waiver for the Fund, while increasing the cap on the “other expenses” ratio.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
The Investment Adviser’s Profitability
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 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
91
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
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 organization had audited 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 Fund was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for the Fund at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Fund:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Management Fee Annual Rate | |
First $2 billion | | | 1.90 | % |
Next $3 billion | | | 1.80 | % |
Next $3 billion | | | 1.71 | % |
Over $8 billion | | | 1.68 | % |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Fund and its shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Fund; the Fund’s recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to waive a portion of its management fee and to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed specified levels. The Independent Trustees also considered the relationship between the advisory and sub-advisory fee rate schedules. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities transactions (in its capacity as clearing broker) and futures transactions on behalf of the Fund; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s other clients; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (e) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund distributor; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with the Fund’s custodian on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (g) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third-party service providers (including the Sub-Advisers) may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Fund receives certain potential benefits as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the 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) access to certain affiliated distribution channels.

Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the investment management fees paid by the Fund were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that the Management Agreement, and the terms thereof, should be approved and continued with respect to the Fund until August 31, 2019.
Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements and Performance
In evaluating the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the Designated Sub-Advisers. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by each Designated Sub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services provided to the Fund by each Designated Sub-Adviser, including information about each Designated Sub-Adviser’s (a) personnel and compensation structure; (b) track record in managing the Fund and, if applicable, other funds and/or accounts with investment strategies similar to those employed on behalf of the Fund; (c) policies and procedures in place to address potential conflicts of interest; and (d) compliance program and code of ethics. In this regard, they also considered assessments provided by the Investment Adviser of each Designated Sub-Adviser, the Designated Sub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program. The Trustees also reviewed the operations and investment performance of each Designated Sub-Adviser’s respective sleeve of the Fund since its inception, including a comparison of each Designated Sub-Adviser to relevant benchmark indices based on various metrics, including realized beta, excess return, alpha, and volatility.
Costs of Services Provided
The Trustees reviewed the terms of each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the schedule of fees payable to the Designated Sub-Advisers. They considered any breakpoints in the sub-advisory fee rate payable under each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the compensation paid to each Designated Sub-Adviser is paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Fund, and that the retention of the Designated Sub-Advisers does not directly increase the fees incurred by the Fund for advisory services. They considered the Investment Adviser’s belief that the relationship between the management fees paid by the Fund and the sub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser is appropriate given the level of services the Investment Adviser provides to the Fund and significant differences in cost drivers and risks associated with the respective services offered by the Investment Adviser and each Designated Sub-Adviser. They also considered the management fee waivers and expense limitations that substantially reduce the fees retained by the Investment Adviser. The Trustees considered that certain Designated Sub-Advisers had agreed to reduce their sub-advisory fee rate. The Trustees reviewed the blended average of all sub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser with respect to the Fund in light of the overall management fee paid by the Fund.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the sub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser to each Designated Sub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved and continued until August 31, 2019.
New Sub-Advisory Agreement
In addition to the actions taken by the Trustees to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, upon the recommendation of the Investment Adviser, at a meeting held on May 8-9, 2018, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees present, approved a sub-advisory agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Investment Adviser and GQG Partners LLC (the “New Sub-Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund. In connection with their evaluation of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations prepared by the Investment Adviser and the New Sub-Adviser on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel. In addition, the Trustees received information prepared by the New Sub-Adviser in a written response to a formal request from the Investment Adviser.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services to be Provided Under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement
In evaluating the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the New Sub-Adviser. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the New Sub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services to be provided to the Fund by the New Sub-Adviser, including information about the New Sub-Adviser’s (a) personnel and compensation structure; (b) track record in managing the Goldman Sachs GQG Partners International Opportunities Fund and a composite of funds or accounts, which have investment strategies similar to those to be employed on behalf of the Fund; (c) policies and procedures in place to address potential conflicts of interest; and (d) compliance program and code of ethics. In this regard, they also considered assessments provided by the Investment Adviser of the New Sub-Adviser, the New Sub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program. They noted that, because the New Sub-Adviser had not previously provided services to the Fund, there was no performance information to evaluate with respect to the Fund.
Costs of Services to be Provided
The Trustees reviewed the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement and the proposed fee schedule. They noted that the compensation paid to the New Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Fund. They also noted that the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement were the result of arm’s length negotiations between the Investment Adviser and the New Sub-Adviser. The Trustees reviewed the anticipated blended average of all sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Investment Adviser with respect to the Fund and how it would change upon hiring the New Sub-Adviser. They considered this information in light of the overall management fee expected to be retained by the Investment Adviser.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Investment Adviser to the New Sub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the terms thereof, should be approved for a period of two years from its effective date.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Strategic Multi-Asset Class Funds
Market Review
The capital markets experienced mixed results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”) amidst a resurgence of volatility.
When the Reporting Period began in November 2017, global equity markets marched higher, extending their record highs of the calendar year on the heels of strong corporate earnings growth and positive business sentiment. Bullish market sentiment was further augmented by the passage of a U.S. tax reform bill in December 2017. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) decision in the same month to raise short-term interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point did little to temper the rally, as the rate hike was largely driven by the Fed’s positive outlook for U.S. economic growth and a strong jobs market. In late January 2018, the U.S. dollar fell to a three-year low versus other developed markets currencies based on concerns about rhetoric from the U.S. Treasury Secretary, who said he favored a weak U.S. dollar, as well as by what investors perceived as the erosion of the U.S. dollar’s yield relative to those of other currencies. During February 2018, volatility returned to the capital markets amid bond market jitters and a significant sell-off in the global equity markets, which was largely influenced by a rise in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. The U.S. Administration’s announcement of steel and aluminum tariffs compounded equity investors’ concerns. In March 2018, at Jerome Powell’s first policy meeting as Fed chair, the U.S. central bank raised short-term interest rates by another quarter percentage point. Fed policymakers went on to raise short-term rates by the same amount on two more occasions — in June and September 2018, and the capital markets anticipated a fourth hike before calendar year end. The Fed’s interest rate hikes led to higher U.S. bond yields, which, in addition to strong corporate earnings growth and a relatively stable macroeconomic picture, helped keep global equity markets rather range bound between March and September 2018. Then, in October, global equities sold off significantly, largely erasing earlier gains. The sell-off was triggered by the continued rise in U.S. bond yields and emerging signs of a slowdown in global economic growth, which sparked investors’ rotation out of growth- and momentum-oriented sectors, such as consumer discretionary and information technology, into value-oriented sectors, such as energy, and traditionally defensive sectors, such as utilities. Global equities finished the Reporting Period with modest losses, as positive returns in the U.S. were offset by the negative performance of European and emerging markets stocks. From a sector perspective, gains overall in health care and information technology were offset by declines in financials and industrials. In commodities, energy prices broadly moved higher during the Reporting Period overall on a combination of U.S. sanctions on Russia, trade disputes and continuing tightness in crude oil supplies. However, metals lagged, particularly in the closing months of the Reporting Period, as the outlook for global economic growth became a focal point for investors.
Credit markets generally sold off during the Reporting Period overall, as a more hawkish Fed continued to forecast additional interest rate hikes against the backdrop of strong U.S. economic growth and increasing signs of inflation. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Credit spreads, or yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity, widened slightly, with concerns about U.S.-China trade tensions weighing on investor sentiment for corporate bonds. Floating-rate bank loans were the best performing sector in the U.S. fixed income markets during the Reporting Period, as each increase in LIBOR boosted coupon payments, fueling investor demand. (LIBOR is London interbank offered rates, which are floating interest rates widely used as reference rates in bank, corporate and government lending agreements.) Demand for floating-rate bank loans came at the expense of fixed-rate investment grade bonds and fixed-rate high

MARKET REVIEW
yield corporate bonds. That said, high yield corporate bonds recorded a positive return for the Reporting Period overall, as their higher yields generally offset the negative effects of their greater duration and the widening of credit spreads. (Duration measures sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) Outside the U.S., emerging markets credit spreads also widened, as rising U.S. interest rates proved to be a headwind for emerging markets debt. Meanwhile, a strong U.S. dollar dampened the performance of local emerging markets bonds. As a result, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt and local emerging markets debt were among the worst performing fixed income sectors during the Reporting Period overall.
Public real estate markets were driven primarily by fundamentals during the Reporting Period overall, as investors’ search for yield continued to decrease at the margin. Dispersion among returns across yield quintiles, or market segments, remained modest, with lower yielding, higher quality real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) slightly outperforming. Global real estate markets were up modestly for the Reporting Period as a whole, largely because of a rally in industrial REITs, which benefited from ongoing e-commerce demand and higher barriers to entry for competitive new supply. That said, the performance of the global real estate markets varied during 2018, as a weak first quarter was offset by a rebounding second quarter and a rather muted third quarter. Among market segments, health care REITs struggled on weaker supply/demand dynamics, though more defensive securities performed well during the market volatility in October 2018. Self-storage REITs performed particularly well in the first half of 2018 but had an unusually poor third calendar quarter due to concerns about a potential moderation in 2019 earnings growth. Regionally, North American property stocks experienced a material reversal during the Reporting Period, going from being the worst performing region in the first quarter of 2018 to being the best performing region in the second calendar quarter, with modest additional gains during the third calendar quarter. Japan and North America generally drove real estate markets during the Reporting Period overall, while Asia (ex-Japan) real estate lagged due in large part to a sell-off in Hong Kong listed companies. Real estate stocks broadly continued to price in further Fed interest rate hikes as well as elevated investor concerns surrounding U.S. tariffs and trade policy for more economically sensitive property types. In addition, mergers and acquisition activity picked up during the Reporting Period.
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, investors appeared to be monitoring political developments in the U.S. with a focus on the midterm elections. A key issue was whether the Democrats would be able to win a majority in the House of Representatives, a result that could create political gridlock in the second half of the President’s term in office, in our view. (On November 6, 2018, after the end of the Reporting Period, the Democratic Party won a majority in the House of Representatives.) Additionally, U.S. trade policy remained a concern at the end of the Reporting Period, as investors monitored whether U.S.-China trade tensions would ease. On the economic front, investors continued to watch for any increase in U.S. inflation, as this could drive the Fed’s schedule for interest rate hikes. Finally, signs of slowing economic growth in China and Europe were drawing significant market attention, with investors looking to discern whether the global economic cycle had plateaued, which could potentially drive strong shifts in market performance.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions (“GPS”) and Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Groups discuss the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated an average annual total return of -3.43%. This return compares to the -0.18% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index (“MSCI ACWI IMI”) (Net, USD, 50% Non-U.S. Developed Hedged to USD) (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a multi-manager approach and generally seeks to achieve its investment objective by dynamically allocating its assets among unaffiliated investment managers (“Underlying Managers”) that employ a mix of international, global and U.S.-focused equity investment strategies. The GPS Group is responsible for the Fund’s asset allocation, wherein it applies a risk-based approach that draws from both fundamental and quantitative disciplines with the intention of dynamically accessing a diversified set of risks and returns in a market cycle aware manner. The AIMS Group is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating or replacing the Fund’s Underlying Managers and applying a multifaceted process for manager due diligence, portfolio construction and risk management. |
| | During the Reporting Period, the Fund recorded a negative absolute return and underperformed the Index. The Fund’s relative underperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers. On the positive side, strategic asset allocation outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. |
| | The Fund had capital allocated to 13 Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period — Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (“Boston Partners”), Causeway Capital Management LLC (“Causeway”), Fisher Asset Management, LLC (“Fisher”), GW&K Investment Management, LLC (“GW&K”), Legal & General Investment Management America, Inc. (“LGIMA”), Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”), Principal Global Investors, LLC (“Principal”), Quantitative Management Associates LLC (“QMA”), Scharf Investments, LLC (“Scharf”), Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (“Vaughan Nelson”), Vulcan Value Partners, LLC (“Vulcan”), WCM Investment Management (“WCM”) and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington”). |
| | These 13 Underlying Managers represented five market segments across global equity as part of the Fund’s top-level strategy allocation — U.S. large cap (QMA, Scharf, Vaughan Nelson and Vulcan); Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) large cap (Causeway and WCM); U.S. small cap (Boston Partners and GW&K); EAFE small cap (Principal); and emerging markets (Fisher, Parametric and Wellington). LGIMA manages a diversified beta strategy. |
| | During November 2017, Parametric was redeemed and the capital was reallocated to Wellington, which became a new emerging markets Underlying Manager for the Fund. Scharf was redeemed during June 2018, and the funds were reallocated to the Vanguard S&P 500® ETF, which we had purchased in March to provide the Fund with passive U.S. large cap exposure, and to Vulcan. QMA and Vaughan Nelson were added as new Underlying Managers in August 2018 and were allocated capital in October. |
| | Thus, nine Underlying Managers had capital allocated to them for the majority of the Reporting Period. Of these nine Underlying Managers, two generated positive absolute returns and seven generated negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period. On a relative basis, one of these Underlying Managers outperformed its benchmark index and |

| eight underperformed their respective benchmark indices. Among the other three Underlying Managers, Scharf underperformed its benchmark index between the beginning of the Reporting Period and June 4, 2018, when it was redeemed. QMA and Vaughan Nelson underperformed their respective benchmark indices between October 2, 2018, when they were allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | The Fund additionally uses Russell Investments Implementation Services, LLC (“RIIS”) for a currency overlay program given the hedged nature of the Fund’s benchmark index. |
| | As mentioned earlier, the Fund’s performance relative to the Index was driven mainly by manager selection, which detracted from returns overall during the Reporting Period. The most significant underperformance came from diversified beta manager LGIMA, which lagged the MSCI ACWI Index. In addition, U.S. large cap Underlying Managers Scharf and Vulcan both underperformed the S&P 500® Index. On the positive side, EAFE large cap Underlying Manager WCM outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index during the Reporting Period. |
| | Strategic asset allocation, which reflects a longer-term perspective to diversify and invest across global equity markets, outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. An underweight in EAFE equities contributed positively to results amid weaker European economic activity and concerns around Italy’s budget negotiations. Positioning among style factors also helped performance. (Style factors are drivers of return within an asset class, which can include value, size, momentum, quality, yields and low volatility.) Conversely, an underweight in U.S. large cap equities pressured performance, as 2018 saw significant divergence between the economic growth of the U.S. and that of the rest of the world. Additionally, our long-term and medium-term views to overweight emerging markets equities detracted during the Reporting Period, as emerging markets assets sold off due to U.S. dollar strength, escalating trade tensions and slowing global economic growth. |
Q | | Which global equity asset classes most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Diversified beta manager LGIMA, which we measure against the MSCI ACWI Index, underperformed during the Reporting Period because of an underweight position and poor stock selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. |
| | In U.S. large cap, which we measure relative to the S&P 500® Index, Underlying Manager Scharf underperformed the benchmark index due to poor stock selection in information technology, consumer discretionary and health care. (Effective in early June 2018, Scharf was no longer an Underlying Manager of the Fund.) As for Underlying Manager Vulcan, it lagged the benchmark index because of a significant overweight in the financials sector and weak stock selection in the information technology sector. |
| | In U.S. small cap, both Underlying Managers underperformed their respective benchmark indices in a strong absolute return environment for small cap equities. GW&K underperformed the Russell 2000® Index because of poor stock selection in information technology, particularly among software companies, and weak selection in the financials and health care sectors. Boston Partners, the value-oriented Underlying Manager, underperformed the Russell 2000® Value Index due to an overweight position and weak stock selection in the materials sector as well as poor selection among consumer discretionary stocks. |
| | In EAFE large cap, Underlying Manager WCM outpaced its benchmark index, the MSCI ACWI Ex USA Index, because of effective stock selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. However, Underlying Manager Causeway underperformed its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, due to an underweight and weak stock selection in consumer staples along with poor stock selection in the information technology sector. |
| | In EAFE small cap, Underlying Manager Principal underperformed its benchmark index, the MSCI World ex-U.S. Small Cap Index, as a result of weak stock selection in the industrials, information technology and consumer staples sectors. Regionally, negative performance was due primarily to poor stock selection in Japan. |
| | In emerging markets, which we measure relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, Underlying Manager Fisher underperformed. Fisher’s underperformance can be attributed to weak stock selection within consumer discretionary and health care. An underweight and negative stock selection in energy also detracted from performance. Underlying Manager Wellington also underperformed its benchmark index, driven by weak stock selection in the health care, consumer discretionary and utilities sectors. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | RIIS manages a currency overlay allocation that seeks to minimize unintended currency exposures that either reduce |

| performance or increase risk of the Fund’s portfolio. RIIS uses currency forwards as part of this strategy. LGIMA uses futures to manage exposure and tracking error to its benchmark index during certain market events, such as dividend accrual periods or small corporate actions. Overall, the use of derivatives by the Underlying Managers did not materially impact the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As mentioned previously, Parametric was redeemed early in the Reporting Period and the capital was reallocated to Wellington, which became an emerging markets Underlying Manager for the Fund in November 2017. Wellington, a systematic emerging markets investment manager, seeks to exploit behavioral inefficiencies based on value, quality, momentum and special situation factors using quantitative techniques. |
| | In March 2018, we funded the Vanguard S&P 500® ETF to provide the Fund with passive U.S. large cap exposure as we looked to adjust the lineup of U.S. large cap Underlying Managers. |
| | As mentioned earlier, Scharf was redeemed during June 2018, and the capital was reallocated to the Vanguard S&P 500® ETF and Vulcan. In August 2018, QMA and Vaughan Nelson were added as Underlying Managers for the Fund, as we sought to create an equity allocation that was more balanced among style factors. QMA pursues a systematic, long-only U.S. equity strategy, with a process focused on providing exposure to three primary factors that QMA believes lead to improved performance: valuation, growth and quality. Vaughan Nelson pursues a dynamic equity strategy, with a bias toward mid- to large-cap equity securities, that seeks to generate returns by investing in companies that are earning above their cost of capital, that have stable to improving returns, and where the valuation is considered by Vaughan Nelson to be attractive. QMA and Vaughan Nelson were allocated assets in October 2018. |
| | In August 2018, DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (“DIMA”) was added as a new Underlying Manager for the Fund but was not allocated capital during the Reporting Period. DIMA pursues an index-based equity strategy that seeks to closely track all or a subset of the securities of the MSCI ACWI Diversified Multi-Factor Index. |
| | The Fund’s strategic asset allocation remained consistent throughout the Reporting Period. At the beginning and end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated 38% to U.S. large cap, 26% to EAFE large cap, 10% to U.S. small cap, 7% to EAFE small cap and 17% to emerging markets, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | Overall, we intend to continue to position the Fund in alignment with our longer-term strategic views within the equity complex as a complement to additional strategic market exposures. We further intend to continue to monitor allocations and Underlying Manager performance as we seek to generate long-term capital growth. |

Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks a total return consisting of income and capital appreciation.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective October 1, 2018, the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance benchmark changed from the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Index to the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Dynamic Index. The Investment Adviser believes that the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Dynamic Index is a more appropriate index against which to measure performance of the Fund. No modifications in the Fund’s investment objective, strategy and policies were made in connection with this change.
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions (“GPS”) and Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Groups discuss the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated an average annual total return of -2.84%. This return compares to the -1.03% average annual total return of the Fund’s new benchmark, the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Dynamic Index (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| The Index is comprised of the Bloomberg Barclays Global High Yield Corporate Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (the “Bloomberg Barclays Index”), the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (the “Credit Suisse Index”) , the J.P. Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index (“EMBISM”) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (the “J.P. Morgan EMBISM Index”) and the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (“GBI-EMSM”) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (the “J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Index”), which are weighted in accordance with the relative market capitalizations of each constituent index (as determined by the constituent index providers) as of the last business day of the previous calendar year. During the Reporting Period, the Bloomberg Barclays Index, the Credit Suisse Index, the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Index and the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Index returned -0.87%, 4.89%, -4.39% and -6.58%, respectively. |
| To compare, the Fund’s previous benchmark index, the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Index, returned -0.81% during the Reporting Period. The Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Index is comprised 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (“the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Index”), 20% of the Credit Suisse Index, 20% of the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Index and 20% of the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Index). For reference, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Index returned 0.98% during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a multi-manager approach and generally seeks to achieve its investment objective by dynamically allocating its assets among unaffiliated investment managers (“Underlying Managers”) that employ a non-core fixed income investment strategy. (Non-core fixed income includes non-investment grade securities, bank loans and emerging markets debt). The GPS Group is responsible for the Fund’s asset allocation, wherein it applies a risk-based approach that draws from both fundamental and quantitative disciplines with the intention of dynamically accessing a diversified set of risks and returns in a market cycle aware manner. The AIMS Group is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating or replacing the Fund’s Underlying Managers and applying a multifaceted process for manager due diligence, portfolio construction and risk management. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund recorded a negative absolute return and underperformed the Index. The Fund’s relative underperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Underlying Managers. On the positive |
10
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| side, strategic asset allocation outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. |
| The Fund had capital allocated to six Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period — Ares Capital Management II LLC (“Ares”), BlueBay Asset Management LLP (“BlueBay”), Brigade Capital Management, LP (“Brigade”), Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard”), Symphony Asset Management LLC (“Symphony”) and TCW Investment Management Company LLC (“TCW”). |
| These six Underlying Managers represented four sectors across non-core fixed income as part of the Fund’s top-level strategy allocation — high yield (Ares, Blue Bay and Brigade), bank loans (Symphony), external emerging markets debt (Lazard) and local emerging markets debt (BlueBay and TCW). |
| In May 2018, TCW became a new Underlying Manager of the Fund, as we sought to adjust the lineup of emerging markets debt Underlying Managers, and it was allocated assets in June. During August, BlueBay was eliminated as an Underlying Manager of local emerging markets debt, and in October, it was provided capital to manage an allocation of global high yield debt. Also during October, high yield Underlying Manager Ares was redeemed. |
| Of the three Underlying Managers managing allocations during the entire Reporting Period, Symphony and Brigade recorded positive absolute returns and Lazard recorded a negative return. TCW posted a negative absolute return between June 14, 2018, when it was allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. BlueBay, as a high yield Underlying Manager, generated a positive absolute return between October 1, 2018, when it was allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. As a local emerging markets debt Underlying Manager, BlueBay recorded a negative absolute return from the start of the Reporting Period until August 8, 2018, when the allocation was redeemed. Ares posted a negative absolute return between the beginning of the Reporting Period until October 16, 2018, when it was redeemed. |
| As mentioned earlier, the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index was mainly driven by manager selection. All of the Underlying Managers underperformed their respective benchmark indices, except for Underlying Manager Brigade, which performed in line with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index during the Reporting Period. |
| Strategic asset allocation, which reflects a longer-term perspective to diversify and invest in non-core fixed income sectors, outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. An overweight in high yield corporate bonds and an underweight in local emerging markets debt contributed positively. This was offset somewhat by an underweight in bank loans, which detracted from returns, as bank loans outperformed other fixed income asset classes during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which non-core fixed income Underlying Managers most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Ares, a high yield Underlying Manager, underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index during the Reporting Period. Weak security selection in the media content and telecommunication industries detracted, though this was partially offset by positive security selection in specialty retailing. |
| Brigade, another high yield Underlying Manager, performed in line with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index. Weak security selection in energy and media was offset by positive security selection in retail and B-rated high yield corporate bonds. |
| Symphony, the bank loans Underlying Manager, lagged the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. This underperformance was largely driven by defensive cash positioning, as the broader bank loan market performed strongly during the Reporting Period. Challenged credit selection among retailers also detracted from returns. Conversely, effective security selection in the media/telecommunications industry partially offset these negative results. |
| BlueBay, as a local emerging markets debt Underlying Manager, underperformed the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index during the Reporting Period because of overall currency positioning, especially in Argentina, Turkey and South Africa. These results were partly offset by duration positioning in Egyptian local interest rates, which added to performance. (Duration measures sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) |
| Lazard, the external emerging markets debt Underlying Manager, underperformed the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Diversified Index during the Reporting Period. The underperformance was driven by negative country selection in sovereign hard currencies, especially an overweight in the Argentinian peso. Overweight positions in several relatively higher yielding countries, including Lebanon and Sri Lanka, |
11
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| also detracted from relative performance. On the other hand, an overweight in Angola, another higher yielding country, added to returns. |
| TCW, a local emerging markets debt Underlying Manager, and BlueBay, as a high yield Underlying Manager, did not have a significant impact on Fund performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s Underlying Managers used currency forwards, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and options on foreign currency during the Reporting Period to implement their strategies. BlueBay used futures during the Reporting Period to gain exposure to emerging markets as well as to hedge risks such as U.S. interest rate duration. Overall, the use of derivatives by the Underlying Managers did not materially impact the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In May 2018, we funded the VanEck Vectors J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF to gain exposure to local emerging markets debt. We eliminated this position in July 2018 after Underlying Manager TCW was provided assets to manage an allocation of local emerging markets debt. |
| As mentioned previously, TCW was added as a new Underlying Manager of the Fund in May 2018, as we sought to adjust the lineup of Underlying Managers focused on emerging markets debt. TCW was allocated assets during June. |
| In August 2018, due to personnel turnover, BlueBay was eliminated as a local emerging markets debt Underlying Manager. |
| In addition, as mentioned earlier, Ares was eliminated as a high yield Underlying Manager in October 2018. The assets were reallocated to BlueBay, as we sought to refocus the Fund’s investments on global, rather than U.S.-only, high yield corporate bonds. |
| Regarding the Fund’s strategic asset allocation, the Fund’s assets were allocated 12% to local emerging markets debt, 18% to external emerging markets debt, 13% to bank loans and 54% to high yield corporate bonds, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents, at the beginning of the Reporting Period. In June 2018, our cycle aware view that the U.S. was nearing the latter stages of the economic cycle led to a change in the Fund’s strategic exposures. That month, we used a pullback in the performance of emerging markets assets to trim the Fund’s overweight in high yield corporate bonds and its underweight in local emerging markets debt. However, emerging markets assets subsequently sold off, as currency crises in Argentina and Turkey sparked investor fears of global contagion and U.S.-China trade tensions re-intensified. In September 2018, after market concerns about global contagion subsided, local emerging markets debt rebounded, recovering some of its losses. As the Reporting Period came to an end, we maintained the view that the difference between emerging markets economic growth and developed markets economic growth would ultimately widen, which we believed would lead to outperformance of emerging markets assets versus developed markets assets. In our opinion, a key underlying driver of the sell-off in emerging markets assets during the Reporting Period was disappointing emerging markets economic growth in the context of strong U.S. economic growth. At the conclusion of the Reporting Period, emerging markets economic data, while still uncertain, appeared to have stabilized, in our view. We believed the eventual impact of tariffs would be manageable, and we thought investors had overreacted to the threat of a trade war. In due course, the combination of stabilizing economic data and decreasing trade war worries should lead to positive market surprises, in our opinion. Accordingly, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated 25% to local emerging markets debt, 18% to external emerging markets debt, 13% to bank loans and 42% to high yield corporate bonds, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | Overall, we intend to continue to position the Fund in alignment with our longer-term strategic views on the non-core fixed income market as a complement to additional strategic market exposures. We further intend to continue to monitor allocations and Underlying Manager performance as we seek to generate total return consisting of income and capital appreciation. |

Performance Summary
October 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on March 31, 2015 (commencement of operations) in Class R6 Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s current benchmark, the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Dynamic Index, which is comprised of the Bloomberg Barclays Global High Yield Corporate Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) and the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), is shown. The performance of the Fund’s former benchmark, the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Index, which is comprised of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (40%), the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (20%), the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (20%), and the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (20%), is also shown. The Investment Adviser believes that the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Dynamic Index is a more appropriate benchmark against which to measure the performance of the Fund, as compared to the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Composite Index. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. In addition to the Underlying Managers’ decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager
Real Assets Strategy Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth through investments related to real assets.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective September 17, 2018, the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance benchmark changed from the Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Composite Index to the Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Composite Dynamic Index. The Investment Adviser believes that the Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Composite Dynamic Index is a more appropriate index against which to measure performance of the Fund. No modifications in the Fund’s investment objective, strategy and policies were made in connection with this change.
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions (“GPS”) and Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Groups discuss the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated an average annual total return of -1.88%. This return compares to the -1.22% average annual total return of the Fund’s new benchmark, the Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Composite Dynamic Index (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| The Index is comprised of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “FTSE Index”) and the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Dow Jones Brookfield Index”), which are weighted in accordance with the relative market capitalizations of each constituent index (as determined by the constituent index providers) as of the last business day of the previous calendar year. During the Reporting Period, the FTSE Index and the Dow Jones Brookfield Index returned 0.48% and -3.99%, respectively. |
| To compare, the Fund’s previous benchmark index, the Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Composite Index, returned -1.75% during the Reporting Period. The Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Composite Index is comprised 50% of the FTSE Index and 50% of the Dow Jones Brookfield Index. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a multi-manager approach and generally seeks to achieve its investment objective by dynamically allocating its assets among unaffiliated investment managers (“Underlying Managers”) that invest primarily in real assets. (Real assets are defined broadly by the Fund and include any assets that have physical properties or inflation sensitive characteristics, such as energy, real estate, infrastructure, commodities and inflation linked or floating rate fixed income securities. Inflation is a sustained increase in prices that erodes the purchasing power of money. Assets with inflation sensitive characteristics are assets that benefit from rising real cash flows in times of rising inflation.) The GPS Group is responsible for the Fund’s asset allocation, wherein it applies a risk-based approach that draws from both fundamental and quantitative disciplines with the intention of dynamically accessing a diversified set of risks and returns in a market cycle aware manner. The AIMS Group is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating or replacing the Fund’s Underlying Managers and applying a multifaceted process for manager due diligence, portfolio construction and risk management. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted a negative absolute return but outperformed the Index on a relative basis. The Fund’s relative outperformance can be attributed to the Fund’s strategic asset allocation as well as to the performance of the Underlying Managers. |
| The Fund allocated capital to four Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period — PGIM Real Estate, a business unit of PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM Real Estate”), Presima Inc. (“Presima”), RARE Infrastructure (North America) Pty Limited (“RARE”) and RREEF America L.L.C. (“RREEF”). These four Underlying Managers represented two sectors of real assets as part of the Fund’s top-level strategy allocation — global real estate (PGIM Real Estate and Presima) and global infrastructure (RARE and RREEF). |
| Of the four Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the Reporting Period, three generated negative |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| absolute returns and one generated a positive absolute return. On a relative basis, one of the Underlying Managers outperformed its benchmark index, two underperformed their respective benchmark indices, and one performed in line with its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. |
| Strategic asset allocation, which reflects a longer-term perspective to diversify and invest across real assets, contributed positively to relative returns during the Reporting Period. An overweight in global real estate securities relative to the Index added to performance, though this was offset somewhat by an overweight in global infrastructure securities, which detracted. Global infrastructure securities faced headwinds in the rising interest rate environment, while global real estate securities were buoyed by positive macroeconomic growth, particularly in the U.S. Real estate market fundamentals also remained strong, with solid rental demand and occupancy levels. Meanwhile, supply was kept in check by tighter real estate lending, increasing construction costs and a tightening construction labor market. |
| From a manager selection perspective, the Fund’s performance relative to the Index was driven by global infrastructure Underlying Manager RREEF, which outperformed the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index. RARE, the other global infrastructure Underlying Manager, underperformed the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index. Global real estate Underlying Manager Presima underperformed the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index. PGIM Real Estate, the other global real estate Underlying Manager, performed in line with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which real assets asset classes most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | In global infrastructure, which we measure against the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index, Underlying Manager RREEF outperformed the benchmark index during the Reporting Period because of an underweight position and strong stock selection in European transport companies. Effective stock selection among midstream energy companies also aided returns. (The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side, i.e. energy producers, and the demand side, i.e. energy end-users, for any type of energy commodity. Such midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities.) |
| Global infrastructure Underlying Manager RARE underperformed the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index during the Reporting Period due to an overweight position and negative stock selection in toll road companies, particularly within Europe. Additionally, an overweight and weak stock selection in port companies hurt its performance. |
| In global real estate, which we measure against the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, Underlying Manager PGIM Real Estate performed in line with its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. An overweight and strong stock selection in industrial real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) added to performance as did selection among health care REITs. These positive results were offset by an underweight and poor selection in mall REITs, which detracted. |
| Global real estate Underlying Manager Presima underperformed the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index during the Reporting Period. Weak stock selection among U.S. office and health care REITs detracted from returns. Stock selection among Canadian REITs also diminished performance. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate equity transactions settling in foreign currencies. During the Reporting Period, these transactions detracted from the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In early July 2018, we added passive exposure to global real estate securities through investments in the SPDR® Dow Jones REIT ETF and the SPDR® Dow Jones International Real Estate ETF, as we sought to diversify the Fund’s potential risk amidst a portfolio management change at PGIM Real Estate. Both ETFs were redeemed on July 19, 2018. |
| The Fund’s strategic asset allocation remained consistent throughout the Reporting Period. At the beginning and end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated 60% to global real estate and 39% to global infrastructure with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | Overall, we intend to continue to position the Fund in alignment with our longer-term strategic views on the real assets complex as a complement to additional strategic market exposures. We further intend to continue to monitor allocations and Underlying Manager performance as we seek to generate long-term capital growth through investments related to real assets. |

The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets. |
(a) | | Issued with a zero coupon. Income is recognized through the accretion of discount. |
(b) | | Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, such securities may be deemed liquid by the investment Adviser and may be resold, normally to qualified institutional buyers in transactions exempt from registration. Total market value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $141,646,559, which represents approximately 20.7% of the Fund’s net assets as of October 31, 2018. The liquidity determination is unaudited. |
(c) | | Security with “Call” features with resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the final maturity dates. |
(d) | | Actual maturity date is 06/28/2117. |
(e) | | Coupon changes periodically based upon a predetermined schedule. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on October 31, 2018. |
(f) | | Security is currently in default and/or non-income producing. |
(g) | | Actual maturity date is 10/12/2110. |
(h) | | Variable rate security. Except for floating rate notes (for which final maturity is disclosed), maturity date disclosed is the next interest reset date. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on October 31, 2018. |
(i) | | Pay-in-kind securities. |
(j) | | Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this portfolio security; i.e. Level 3. |
(k) | | Bank Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. As bank loan positions may involve multiple underlying tranches for which the aggregate position is presented, the stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts on October 31, 2018. Bank Loans typically have rates of interest which are predetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
(l) | | Represents an affiliated issuer. |
(m) | | This position represents an unsettled loan commitment at period end. Certain details associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date, including coupon rate. |

Goldman Sachs Trust II (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. 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 corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund | | Class R6 (formerly Institutional)(a) | | Diversified |
Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund | | Class R6 (formerly Institutional)(a) | | Diversified(b) |
Mutli-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund | | Class R6 (formerly Institutional)(a) | | Diversified |
(a) | | Effective January 16, 2018, Institutional Shares were redesignated as Class R6 Shares. |
(b) | | The Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund was previously registered as a non-diversified investment company. Pursuant to current positions of the SEC staff, the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund’s classification has changed from non diversified to diversified, and the Fund will not be able to become non-diversified unless it seeks and obtains the approval of shareholders. Accordingly, the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Fund may not make any investment inconsistent with the Fund’s classification as a diversified company under the Act. |
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 (the “Agreement”) with the Trust. As of October 31, 2018, GSAM had sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) for the Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund with Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc., Causeway Capital Management LLC, Fisher Asset Management, LLC, GW&K Investment Management, LLC, Legal & General Investment Management America, Inc., Principal Global Investors, LLC, Quantitative Management Associates LLC, Russell Investments Implementation Services, LLC, Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P., Vulcan Value Partners, LLC, WCM Investment Management and Wellington Management Company LLP; for the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund with Ares Capital Management II LLC, BlueBay Asset Management LLP, Brigade Capital Management, LP, Lazard Asset Management LLC, Symphony Asset Management LLC, and TCW Investment Management Company LLC; and for the Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund with PGIM Real Estate, a business unit of PGIM, Inc., Presima Inc., RARE Infrastructure (North America) Pty Limited and RREEF America L.L.C. (the “Underlying Managers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Underlying Managers are responsible for making investment decisions and managing the investments of the Fund. GSAM compensates the Underlying Managers directly in accordance with the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Funds are not charged any separate or additional investment advisory fees by the Underlying Managers.

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.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“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

October 31, 2018
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting swap contracts whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date.
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. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Multi-Manager Global Equity | | | | Annually | | Annually |
Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income | | | | Daily/Monthly | | Annually |
Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy | | | | Annually* | | Annually |
* | | The Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund changed from quarterly to an annual distribution as of February 2018. |
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.
F. Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of certain Funds, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to a Fund as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Statement of Operations.

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
92
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Private Investments — Private investments may include, but are not limited to, investments in private equity or debt instruments. The investment manager estimates the fair value of private investments based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in underlying investments or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in equity or debt capital markets, and changes in current and projected financial ratios or cash flows.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. Bank Loans — Bank loans (“Loans”) are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. Loans are arranged through private negotiations between the borrower and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”). A Fund’s investments in Loans are in the form of either participations in Loans (“Participations”) or assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third parties (“Assignments”). With respect to Participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the Lender selling the Participations and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement with respect to Participations. Conversely, assignments result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may be permitted to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
ii. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
An MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation of the transaction, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty.
If the seller defaults, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund are less than the repurchase price and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, a court could determine that a Fund’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Under these joint accounts, the Funds maintain pro-rata credit exposure to the underlying repurchase agreements’ counterparties. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
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.
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
94
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
last bid price for long positions and the last ask price on 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. 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.
A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which a Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.
ii. 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
iii. Options — When the 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 interest rate 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.
iv. Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which a Fund and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between a Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”) (“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty or clearinghouse prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, a Fund is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a triparty account on behalf of the counterparty), which can be adjusted by any mark-to-market gains or losses pursuant to bilateral or centrally cleared arrangements. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
A credit default swap is an agreement that involves one party (the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If a Fund buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted reference obligation in a physically settled trade. A Fund may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade.
An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in interest rates on a specified notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, a Fund may be required to post initial margin to the counterparty, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. A Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that the Underlying Managers believe to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

* | | GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for each Fund in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate that is equal to the actual cost of fees paid to the Fund’s Underlying Managers. These arrangements will remain in effect through at least February 28, 2019, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Board of Trustees. |
^ | | Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. |
The Multi-Manager Global Equity, Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Funds invest. For the Fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, GSAM waived $15,437, $41,023, $6,100 of the Fund’s management fee for the Multi-Manager Global Equity, Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Funds, respectively.
B. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates of 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares.
C. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to 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 each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are 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 Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund are 0.85%, 0.70%, and 0.90% respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Annual Operating Expense Reductions | |

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of October 31, 2018, the Funds participated in a $770,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 , Goldman Sachs earned $83, $4,238 and $6,496 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2018
|
7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
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 contracts, net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, partnership investments, passive foreign investment company investments and swap transactions.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Funds invest. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Funds also invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Industry Concentration Risk — Concentrating Fund investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of industries will subject a Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industries.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Funds will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and a Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“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.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period 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. 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 mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Loan-Related Investments Risk — In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments, loan-related investments such as loan participations and assignments are subject to other risks. Although a loan obligation may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. Many loan investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. There is less readily available, reliable information about most loan investments than is the case for many other types of securities. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan obligation defaults. With respect to loan participations, a Fund may not always have direct recourse against a borrower if the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and/or interest; may be subject to greater delays, expenses and risks than if the Fund had purchased a direct obligation of the borrower; and may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower), subjecting the Fund to the creditworthiness of that lender as well. Investors in loans, such as a Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, although they may be entitled to certain contractual remedies. The market for loan obligations may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Because transactions in many loans are subject to extended trade settlement periods, a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet a Fund’s redemption obligations for a period after the sale of the loans, and, as a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions, such as borrowing from its credit facility, if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.
Senior Loans hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, and are typically secured with specific collateral, but are nevertheless usually rated below investment grade. Because Second Lien Loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority of payment to Senior Loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds 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 Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Multi-Manager Approach Risk — The Funds’ performance depends on the ability of the Investment Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Underlying Managers. The Underlying Managers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Funds’ multi-manager approach may result in the Fund investing a significant percentage of its assets in certain types of investments, which could be beneficial or detrimental to the Funds’ performance depending on the performance of those investments and the overall market environment. The Funds’ Underlying Managers may underperform the market generally or underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Funds. Because the Funds’ Underlying Managers may trade with counterparties, prime brokers, clearing brokers or futures commission merchants on terms that are different than those on which the Investment Adviser would trade, and because each Underlying Manager applies its own risk analysis in evaluating potential counterparties for the Funds, the Funds may be subject to greater counterparty risk than if they were managed directly by the Investment Adviser.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
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.

To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust II and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund:
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund (three of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust II, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expenses — Six Months Ended October 31, 2018
As a shareholder of Class R6 Shares of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, and (2) 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 the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days in a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class 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 period. 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 under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, 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 and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund, and Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust II (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. Each Fund employs a “manager of managers” structure, whereby Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) is responsible for selecting sub-advisers (subject to Board approval), allocating the Fund’s assets among them, and overseeing their day-to-day management of Fund assets. The Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until August 31, 2019 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 August 7-8, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Board also considered the sub-advisory agreements (each a “Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Adviser and (i) each of Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc., Causeway Capital Management LLC, Fisher Asset Management, LLC, GW&K Investment Management, LLC, Legal & General Investment Management Americas, Inc., Principal Global Investors, LLC, Russell Investment Implementation Services, LLC, Vulcan Value Partners, LLC, and WCM Investment Management (on behalf of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund); (ii) each of Ares Capital Management II LLC, BlueBay Asset Management LLP, Brigade Capital Management, LP, Lazard Asset Management LLC, and Symphony Asset Management LLC (on behalf of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund); and (iii) each of PGIM Real Estate (a business unit of PGIM, Inc.), Presima Inc., RARE Infrastructure (North America) Pty Limited, and RREEF America L.L.C. (on behalf of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund) (each, a “Designated Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Designated Sub-Advisers”).
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 five meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. 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 and the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements 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, and the Designated Sub-Advisers, including, as applicable, information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and the Designated Sub-Advisers and the Designated Sub-Advisers’ 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 mutual 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 mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), benchmark performance indices, and, with respect to the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, commingled investment vehicles with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser, as well as general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | | the terms of the Agreements and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (e) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
110
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
| (i) | | 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; |
| (ii) | | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | | with respect to the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided by the Investment Adviser to certain collective investment vehicles that it manages with comparable investment strategies; |
| (f) | | 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; |
| (g) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (h) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (j) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, and other services; |
| (k) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | | with respect to the Investment Adviser, portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares and the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; information on the Designated Sub-Advisers’ compensation arrangements; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (m) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers (including the Designated Sub-Advisers), and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (n) | | the Investment Adviser’s and Designated Sub-Advisers’ processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; their approaches to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets and share purchase and redemption activity.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Agreements at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Funds and the respective services of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, and the Designated Sub-Advisers. 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. In addition, the Independent Trustees periodically received written materials and oral presentations from the funds’ various sub-advisers, including the Designated Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual 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. The Independent Trustees reviewed a written response prepared by each Designated Sub-Adviser to a similar request for information submitted to the Designated Sub-Adviser by the Investment Adviser. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. 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
111
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
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. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the Sub-Adviser oversight process that the Investment Adviser had employed, which included areas such as investment analytics, risk management and compliance.
Investment Performance
The Trustees considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that each Fund had significant differences from its Outside Data Provider peer group that caused them to be imperfect bases for comparison. The Trustees also compared the investment performance of the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund to the performance of comparable unregistered funds for which the Investment Adviser also serves as investment adviser. They considered that the unregistered funds provide an imperfect performance comparison because they are not subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and the Sub-Advisers’ 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.
The Trustees noted that the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. They noted that Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had underperformed the Fund’s composite benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. They noted that the Goldman Sachs Real Assets Strategy Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had outperformed the Fund’s composite benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement, the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder, and the net amount retained by the Investment Adviser after payment of sub-advisory fees. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed the analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds, as well as additional information provided by the Investment Adviser throughout the year. 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 analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency and custody fees, other expenses, and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. With respect to the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, the Trustees also considered comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund. They also noted that, in some cases, collective investment vehicles have a compensation structure that includes performance fees and also pay additional asset-based fees and performance fees to the managers of underlying hedge funds. The Trustees considered that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to these collective investment vehicles, which generally operated under less stringent regulatory and financial reporting requirements, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-sensitive. 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 considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to waive a portion of the management fee payable by each Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser’s institutional clients that are invested in the Funds pay a single management fee for the Investment Adviser’s management of their accounts, and that the Investment Adviser waives a

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
portion of the management fee with respect to each Fund in order to achieve an effective net management fee rate that is equal to the actual cost of fees paid to the Fund’s sub-advisers. They also considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit each Fund’s “other expenses” ratio (excluding certain expenses) to a specified level. In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
The Investment Adviser’s Profitability
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 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 organization had audited 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 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds. The Trustees considered that the Funds are offered to the Investment Adviser’s institutional clients as part of an investment model whereby the Funds and other funds act as core “building blocks” with which the client and the Investment Adviser form an investment strategy for the client’s portfolio. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that its clients benefit from this investment model with increased liquidity, increased investment oversight, access to new investment strategies, economies of scale, and reduced complexity in managing client portfolios. The Trustees noted that, pursuant to the model, clients pay a management fee for the Investment Adviser’s management of their accounts, and that the fund-level management fee in excess of the weighted average sub-advisory fees are waived in order to avoid charging two layers of management fees. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund | | | Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund Fund | | | Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund | |
First $1 billion | | | 1.03 | % | | | 0.85 | % | | | 1.00 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.93 | | | | 0.85 | | | | 0.90 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.89 | | | | 0.77 | | | | 0.86 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.87 | | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.84 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.84 | | | | 0.71 | | | | 0.82 | |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits (if any); information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to waive a portion of its management fee and to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. The Independent Trustees also considered the relationship between the advisory and sub-advisory fee rate schedules. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities transactions (in its capacity as clearing broker) and futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s 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 the Funds’ custodian on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (f) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers (including the Sub-Advisers) 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 potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) access to certain affiliated distribution channels.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the investment management fees paid by each Fund were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that the Management Agreement, and the terms thereof, should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until August 31, 2019.
Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements and Performance
In evaluating the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the Designated Sub-Advisers. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by each Designated Sub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services provided to the Funds by their respective Designated Sub-Advisers, including information about each Designated Sub-Adviser’s (a) personnel and compensation structure; (b) track record in managing the Fund and, if applicable, other funds and/or accounts with investment strategies similar to those employed on behalf of the Funds; (c) policies and procedures in place to address potential conflicts of interest; and (d) compliance program and code of ethics. In this regard, they also considered assessments provided by the Investment Adviser of each Designated Sub-Adviser, the Designated Sub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program. The Trustees also reviewed the operations and investment performance of each Designated Sub-Adviser’s respective sleeve of the applicable Fund since its inception, including a comparison of each Designated Sub-Adviser to relevant benchmark indices based on various metrics, including realized beta, excess return, alpha, and volatility.
Costs of Services Provided
The Trustees reviewed the terms of each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the schedule of fees payable to the Designated Sub-Advisers. They considered any breakpoints in the sub-advisory fee rate payable under each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the compensation paid to each Designated Sub-Adviser is paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Funds. The Trustees considered that certain Designated Sub-Advisers had agreed to reduce their sub-advisory fee rate, which benefited shareholders of those Funds in light of the existing management fee waiver arrangement. The Trustees reviewed the blended average of all sub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser with respect to each Fund in light of the overall management fee paid by each Fund.

Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the sub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser to each Designated Sub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that each Designated Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved and continued until August 31, 2019.
New Sub-Advisory Agreements
In addition to the actions taken by the Trustees to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Designated Sub-Advisory Agreements, upon the recommendation of the Investment Adviser, at meetings held on May 8-9, 2018 and August 7-8, 2018, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees present, approved sub-advisory agreements (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between the Investment Adviser and TCW Investment Management Company, LLC on behalf of the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund and DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc., Quantitative Management Associates LLC, and Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (each a “New Sub-Adviser” and collectively the “New Sub-Advisers”) on behalf of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreements”). In connection with their evaluation of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations prepared by the Investment Adviser and each New Sub-Adviser on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel. In addition, the Trustees received information prepared by each New Sub-Adviser in a written response to a formal request from the Investment Adviser.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services to be Provided Under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement
In evaluating the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the New Sub-Advisers. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by each New Sub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services to be provided to the Funds by the New Sub-Advisers, including information about the New Sub-Advisers’ (a) personnel and compensation structure; (b) track record in managing other funds and accounts, which have investment strategies similar to those to be employed on behalf of the Funds; (c) policies and procedures in place to address potential conflicts of interest; and (d) compliance program and code of ethics. In this regard, they also considered assessments provided by the Investment Adviser of the New Sub-Advisers, the New Sub-Advisers’ investment strategies and personnel, and their compliance programs. They noted that, because the New Sub-Advisers had not previously provided services to the Funds, there was no performance information to evaluate with respect to the Funds.
Costs of Services to be Provided
The Trustees reviewed the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and the proposed fee schedules, including any breakpoints. They noted that the compensation paid to each New Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Fund. They also noted that the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements were the result of arm’s length negotiations between the Investment Adviser and each New Sub-Adviser. The Trustees reviewed the anticipated blended average of all sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Investment Adviser with respect to the Fund and how it would change upon hiring the New Sub-Advisers. They considered this information in light of the overall management fee expected to be retained by the Investment Adviser. They considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to waive the portion of its management fee which is in excess of the weighted average of the Funds’ sub-advisory fees.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the sub-advisory fees to be paid by the Investment Adviser to the New Sub-Advisers were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the terms thereof, should be approved for a period of two years from its effective date.

The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. 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.

Item 4(e)(1) — Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds of the Goldman Sachs Trust II. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs Trust II (“GST II”) sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for GST II may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the Audit Committee Chairman or the person designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the Policy. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.
De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by GST II at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.
Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GST’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to GST II, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GST II’s investment advisers (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provide ongoing services to GST II) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of GST II.
Item 4(e)(2) – 0% of the audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees listed in Table 1 were approved by GST II’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. In addition, 0% of the non-audit services to the GST II’s service affiliates listed in Table 2 were approved by GST II’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
Item 4(f) – Not applicable.
Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure
The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST II by PwC for the twelve months ended October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017 were $287,692 and $184,387 respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST II’s adviser and service affiliates by PwC for the twelve months ended October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017 were approximately $9.7 million and $11.4 million respectively. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST II’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2018 and 2017 amounts include fees for non-audit services required to be pre-approved [see Table 2] and fees for non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to GST II’s operations or financial reporting.
Item 4(h) — GST II’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to GST II’s investment adviser and service affiliates that did not require pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
