MARKET REVIEW
Active Equity Multi-Manager Funds
Market Review
The capital markets experienced mixed results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), as global economic growth concerns and trade war uncertainty led to sustained market volatility.
The first half of the Reporting Period was characterized by a challenging 2018 year-end followed by a remarkably strong rally during the first four months of 2019. Global equities fell significantly in November and December 2018, as investors’ hopes for a trade reconciliation between the U.S. and China were dashed. Risk-off market sentiment, or reduced risk appetite, increased, and U.S. Treasury yields began a downward slide that endured for most of the Reporting Period. In January 2019, global equities rebounded from their losses, jumpstarted by a more accommodative tone from U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Jerome Powell, who cited the need for a patient approach toward future interest rate changes given the continued economic slowdown in China and softening U.S. economic data. In March 2019, amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and in response to the stock market volatility at 2018 year-end, the Fed announced its intention to hold interest rates steady through the conclusion of the 2019 calendar year. Meanwhile, monetary policy easing by central banks in Europe and China further supported global equities, which experienced their strongest first calendar quarter rally in more than two decades. However, despite the global equity rally, the weakening global economy, which was exacerbated by unpredictable trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China, stayed top of mind for investors. In March 2019, these concerns drove yields on German and Japanese 10-year government bonds into negative territory.
During the second half of the Reporting Period, global equity markets generally traded sideways and remained heavily influenced by trade disputes and global central bank policies. (When a market trades sideways, it generally moves within a fairly stable range without forming any distinct trends over a period of time.) Global equities began May 2019 near all-time highs before sharply declining during the month, as a breakdown in U.S. and China trade negotiations led to fresh U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. For much of the spring and summer, investor sentiment whipsawed as the U.S. and China swapped tariff threats and company-specific blacklists. Meanwhile, the Fed shifted its monetary policy stance, deciding to cut short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in July 2019—its first interest rate cut in more than a decade. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Further 25 basis point reductions followed in September and October 2019. The Fed’s concern about declining economic growth and its accommodative monetary policy stance was reiterated by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who unveiled a new quantitative easing plan for the European Union just as his term ended on October 31st. In October 2019, the European Union remained front and center, as it approved another delay in Brexit (or the U.K.’s departure from the European Union) beyond the originally scheduled October 31st deadline. For the Reporting Period overall, global equities (as represented by the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index) were up more than 12%, driven by positive performance across all major regions. From a sector perspective, cyclical stocks and information technology stocks were notable performers. Energy was the only sector that posted a negative absolute return for the Reporting Period.
Credit markets broadly sold off during the first two months of the Reporting Period. The sell-off was driven by risk-off investor sentiment and a flight to quality through November and December 2018 as well as by significant market volatility due in part to the partial U.S. federal government shutdown, investor uncertainty around the Fed’s monetary policy, tumultuous U.S.-China trade relations and uncertain global economic growth. At the beginning of 2019, however, investor sentiment improved in light of seemingly positive developments in U.S.-China trade talks as well as data indicative of ongoing solid U.S. economic growth and a more dovish Fed. (Dovish tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) Investment grade corporate bonds outperformed nearly all other major fixed income sectors during the first 10 months of 2019, surpassing high yield corporate bonds midway through the calendar year as the longer duration profile of investment grade corporate bonds benefited from a significant rally in interest rates and tightening credit spreads (or yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity). Emerging markets debt also rallied, as investor optimism around U.S.-China trade negotiations persisted, with U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt outpacing local currency emerging markets debt.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, investors remained focused on a potential resolution to the U.S.-China trade war. Suggestions from both countries that an agreement might be reached by the end of 2019 were met with cautious optimism. Investors also adopted a wait-and-see approach toward Brexit given a second delay in its implementation and a new deadline of January 31, 2020. An early general election in the U.K., scheduled for December 2019, added further to Brexit-related uncertainty. Going forward, we expect investors to remain watchful for signs the accommodative efforts of the world’s central banks are effective in staving off a further slowdown in the global economy. We also expect investors to continue monitoring the progress of U.S.-China trade talks.

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, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated an average annual total return of 12.78%. This return compares to the 11.04% 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 positive absolute return and outperformed the Index. The relative outperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers overall. 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 positive absolute returns. 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 | | Growth-oriented Underlying Manager WCM outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. WCM’s positive results were driven by overweight positions and effective stock selection in the information technology and financials sectors. |
| Core-oriented Underlying Manager MFS also outperformed the Index, primarily because of an overweight position and stock selection within the health care sector. |
| Value-oriented Underlying Manager Causeway underperformed the Index. An underweight position and poor stock selection in the communication services sector detracted from returns as did an overweight position and weak stock selection in the energy sector. |
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. Rights were employed to give the Fund the opportunity, but not the obligation, to buy additional shares of specific stocks at a discount. Overall, the use of these instruments had a rather neutral impact on the Fund’s performance 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% |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| to Causeway, 35% to MFS and 20% to WCM. The remainder of the Fund’s assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 25, 2019, Tom Murray 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. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, compared to the Index, the Fund was overweight information technology and health care stocks and was underweight financials and consumer discretionary stocks. It had no exposure to 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 the12-month period ended October 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated an average annual total return of 14.66%. This return compares to the 14.33% 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 and outperformed the Index. The relative outperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers overall. |
| | At various points during the Reporting Period, the Fund had capital allocated to four Underlying Managers as part of itstop-level strategy allocation — Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard”), Sirios Capital Management, L.P. (“Sirios”), Smead Capital Management, Inc. (“Smead”) and Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (“Vaughan Nelson”). |
| | Of the three Underlying Managers with allocated capital for the entire Reporting Period, all three posted positive absolute returns. Vaughan Nelson recorded a positive absolute return between December 20, 2018, when it was allocated capital as an Underlying Manager of the Fund, and the end of the Reporting Period. On a relative basis, Sirios and Lazard outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, while Smead underperformed the Index. Vaughan Nelson outperformed the Index between December 20, 2018 and the end of the Reporting Period. The Index serves as the benchmark index for all four Underlying Managers. |
Q | | Which dynamic equity strategies most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Growth-oriented Underlying Manager Sirios outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, benefiting from an overweight position and positive stock selection in the industrials sector. |
| | Lazard, which uses an all cap, concentrated investment strategy, also outperformed the Index. Strong stock selection in the financials sector added to returns as did a lack of exposure to the energy sector. |
| | Core-oriented Vaughan Nelson outperformed the Index between December 20, 2018, when it was allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. Strong stock selection in the materials sector drove these positive results. |
| | Smead, the other core-oriented Underlying Manager, underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period overall. Smead was hurt by its underweight in the consumer staples sector. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund used rights and forward foreign currency exchange contracts during the Reporting Period to take positions in |

| selectnon-U.S. markets. The use of these derivatives had a rather neutral 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 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. During December 2018, Vaughan Nelson was allocated capital as an Underlying Manager of the Fund. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately 33% to Smead, 33% to Sirios, 18% to Lazard and 15% to Vaughan Nelson. The remainder of the Fund’s assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund maintained an overweight relative to the Index in financials, with bank exposure held by Smead and Sirios. Lazard has not historically invested in banks. In addition, the Fund was overweight the health care and consumer discretionary sectors compared to the Index. The Fund was most underweight in information technology, energy and real estate relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period and had no exposure to utilities. In terms of market capitalization, the Fund maintained a significant underweight in mega caps and an overweight relative to the Index insmall/mid-cap stocks. Regionally, the Fund was primarily invested in North American equities but also had modest exposure to companies domiciled in Europe. |
| | 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. |

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 the12-month period ended October 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated an average annual total return of 10.56%. This return compares to the 4.90% 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 asmall-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 positive absolute return and outperformed the Index. The relative outperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers overall. At various points during the Reporting Period, the Fund allocated capital to four Underlying Managers as part of itstop-level strategy allocation—Boston Partners Global Investors (“Boston Partners”), Brown Advisory, LLC (“Brown Advisory”), QMA LLC (“QMA”) and PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (“PNC”). |
| Of the two Underlying Managers with allocated capital for the entire Reporting Period, both generated positive absolute returns. PNC generated a positive absolute return from the beginning of the Reporting Period to May 22, 2019, when we redeemed it as an Underlying Manager of the Fund. QMA generated a positive absolute return from May 14, 2019, when it was allocated capital as an Underlying Manager of the Fund, to the end of the Reporting Period. On a relative basis, two Underlying Managers outperformed their respective benchmark indices. PNC outperformed its benchmark index between the start of the Reporting Period and May 22, 2019. QMA underperformed its benchmark index between May 14, 2019 and the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Whichsmall-cap equity strategies most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Growth-oriented Underlying Manager Brown Advisory outperformed its benchmark index, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, during the Reporting Period. An underweight position and effective stock selection in the health care sector contributed positively. Stock selection in communication services also added to relative returns. |
| Value-oriented Underlying Manager Boston Partners outpaced its benchmark index, the Russell 2000® Value Index, benefiting from robust stock selection in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors. |
| Core-oriented Underlying Manager PNC outperformed its benchmark index, the Russell 2000® Index, between the beginning of the Reporting Period and May 22, 2019, when it was redeemed. Strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector added to returns. An underweight position and effective stock selection in the health care sector were also advantageous. |
| QMA, another core-oriented Underlying Manager, underperformed the Russell 2000® Index between May 14, 2019, when it was allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. These negative results were primarily due to exposure to value factors, which resulted in weak stock selection in the real estate sector. |
11
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund used equity futures to manage its market exposure. These derivatives had a slightly positive impact on performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In April 2019, QMA was added as an Underlying Manager of the Fund and was allocated capital in May 2019. QMA uses a systematic investment approach, based on fundamental insights, that ranks stocks across nearly 300 fundamental, market and forecast data metrics (i.e., earnings, sales and cash flow estimate revisions, price-volume behaviors, target price movement). |
| In May 2019, PNC was redeemed and no longer served as an Underlying Manager of the Fund. We reallocated the capital to QMA. |
| At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately 44% to Boston Partners, 30% to Brown Advisory and 25% to PNC, with the remainder invested in cash and cash equivalents. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately 39% to QMA, 35% to Boston Partners and 25% to Brown Advisory, with the remainder invested in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
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 most overweight compared to the Index in financials, industrials and information technology. It was underweight health care, utilities and real estate. In terms of market capitalization, the Fund maintained a slightsmall/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. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS(%)2 |
|
As of October 31, 2019 |

2 | | 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. 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. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily 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.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by a Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation —The accounting records and reporting currency of a Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
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 Statements 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 use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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 per share 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts.Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence oftwo-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 aremarked-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.
Aforward foreign currency exchange contractis a forward contract in which a Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at apre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
contracts aremarked-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.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2019:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement —Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, 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 | % | | | 0.43 | % |
Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity | | | | | 0.80 | | | | 0.63 | |
Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity | | | | | 0.75 | | | | 0.60 | |
* | | 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, 2020 and prior to such date, GSAM may not terminate the applicable arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. |
^ | | Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. |
The 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, 2019, GSAM waived $37,317, $12,598 and $24,015 of the 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 reduce or limit each Fund’s “Total Annual Operating Expenses” (excluding acquired fund 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 Total Annual Operating 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, 2020, 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.

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of October 31, 2019, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 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, 2019, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 30, 2019 the facility was $770,000,000.
E. Other Transactions with Affiliates —For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 , Goldman Sachs earned $201 and $1,398 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Multi-Manager International Equity and Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Funds, respectively.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
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), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that 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, 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.
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 ofnon-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment
46
ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains 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 or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on the Fund’s liquidity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
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 a 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’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date other than above have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Tothe Board of Trustees of
Goldman Sachs Trust II and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund, and Goldman Sachs 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 Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund, and Goldman Sachs 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, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019, including the related notes,and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2019, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended October 31, 2019 (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, 2019 through October 31, 2019, 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.

ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
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 selectingsub-advisers (subject to Board approval), allocating the Fund’s assets among them, and overseeing theirday-to-day management of Fund assets. The Board 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, 2020 by the Board, 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 August6-7, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Board also considered thesub-advisory agreements (each a “ DesignatedSub-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. and Brown Advisory LLC (on behalf of Multi-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund) (collectively, the “DesignatedSub-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 four 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 DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Advisers, including, as applicable, information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and the DesignatedSub-Advisers and the DesignatedSub-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 |
51
ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
| (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; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; information on the DesignatedSub-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 (as well as the DesignatedSub-Advisers), 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 DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-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 Trustees periodically received written materials and oral presentations from the funds’ varioussub-advisers, including the DesignatedSub-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 Trustees reviewed a written response prepared by each DesignatedSub-Adviser to a similar request for information submitted to the DesignatedSub-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 andnon-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. They also recalled presentations received during the past year, which described portfolio management changes for the Funds. 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 theSub-Adviser oversight process that the Investment Adviser had employed, which included areas such as investment analytics, risk management and compliance.

Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance ofeach Fund to its peers usingrankings 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 theSub-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 Class P Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group for theone- and three-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for theone-year period ended March 31, 2019. They observed that the Multi-Manager U.S. Dynamic Equity Fund’s Class P Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group for theone-year period and the third quartile for the three-year period, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for theone-year period ended March 31, 2019. The Trustees noted that theMulti-Manager U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund’s Class P Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for theone-year period ended March 31, 2019.
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 ofsub-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 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 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. 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 and required fewer services from the Investment Adviser. 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’ssub-advisers. They also considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (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.

ACTIVE EQUITY MULTI-MANAGER FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
The Investment Adviser’s Profitability
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues andpre-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 periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2018 and 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 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 averagesub-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 Trustees also considered the relationship between the advisory andsub-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 theSub-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 thesefall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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, 2020.
DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements and Performance
In evaluating the DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the DesignatedSub-Advisers. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by each DesignatedSub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services provided to the Funds by their respective DesignatedSub-Advisers, including information about each DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Adviser, the DesignatedSub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program. The Trustees also reviewed the operations and investment performance of each DesignatedSub-Adviser’s respective sleeve of the applicable Fund since its inception, including a comparison of each DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement, including the schedule of fees payable to the DesignatedSub-Advisers. They considered any breakpoints in thesub-advisory fee rate payable under each DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the compensation paid to each DesignatedSub-Adviser is paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Funds. The Trustees considered that certain DesignatedSub-Advisers had agreed to reduce theirsub-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 allsub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser with respect to each Fund in light of the overall management fee paid by each Fund. They also considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to waive a portion of its management fee which is in excess of the weighted average of each Fund’ssub-advisory fees.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the DesignatedSub-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 thesub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser to each DesignatedSub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that each DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement should be approved and continued until August 31, 2020.

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, 2019 (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, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 20.19%, 19.24%, 20.65%, 20.42%, 20.61%, 19.91% and 20.68%, respectively. These returns compare to the 11.27% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Global equities recorded double-digit gains during the Reporting Period. U.S. stocks outperformed non-U.S. developed markets stocks. Non-U.S. developed markets stocks also slightly lagged emerging markets equities. |
| | When the Reporting Period began in November 2018, global equity markets advanced on dovish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Jerome Powell, an accommodative stance by Chinese policymakers toward the private corporate sector and seemingly encouraging progress in China-U.S. trade talks. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) However, in December 2018, global equities plunged on renewed investor fears sparked by the arrest of a Chinese technology executive, a partial U.S. federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of U.S. Fed Chair Powell. Global equities also fell sharply on trade war escalations between the U.S. and China as well as on political uncertainty — and in a delayed response to an earlier rise in global interest rates. Political uncertainty remained elevated in Europe, particularly surrounding the Italian fiscal budget and ongoing Brexit negotiations. (Brexit indicates the U.K.’s path out of the European Union.) |
| | Recovering from weakness in the last months of 2018, global equities rallied during the first quarter of 2019. The Fed maintained its dovish stance amidst slower global economic growth and also announced a pause in its interest rate hiking cycle. At the same time, significant progress appeared to be made in U.S.-China trade talks, paving the way for a potential resolution. In the U.S., stocks posted double-digit gains. European equities were resilient, despite the overhang of Brexit and slowing economic data. Japanese equities advanced during the first calendar quarter, as investor fears around the extent of the global economic growth slowdown eased and the Japanese yen gradually weakened. Within emerging markets equities, Chinese stocks benefited from seeming progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations, faster than consensus expected policy easing and positive corporate earnings results. However, investors remained cautious around Indian equities, with general elections scheduled to commence in April 2019. Investors also remained cautious around Turkish markets, which were rattled by the overall economic downturn and by municipal elections at the end of March 2019. |
| | Global equities continued to post gains during the second quarter of 2019, supported by increasingly accommodative stances by several major central banks, including the Fed. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China dominated headlines and broadly added noise to the markets. (Noise refers to information or activity that confuses or misrepresents genuine underlying trends.) In April 2019, there was investor optimism about a possible trade deal, but the positive sentiment faded in May when the U.S. President threatened to raise then-current tariffs and impose new duties on $300 billion of additional Chinese imports. Nevertheless, global equities generally recovered in June 2019 while awaiting U.S.-China trade talks to reconvene at the G20 Summit. (The G20 (or Group of Twenty) is an international forum for the governments and central bank |

| governors from 19 countries and the European Union. It was founded in 1999 with the aim to discuss policy pertaining to the promotion of international financial stability.) Ultimately, the U.S. agreed to hold off on imposing the additional tariffs and to delay restrictions against Chinese technology firm Huawei, allowing U.S. companies to resume sales to the company. |
| | During the third calendar quarter, the performance of developed markets equities was mixed, with U.S. stocks recording slightly positive returns and non-U.S. developed markets stocks edging down. Trade news continued to dominate market movements as did increasing political uncertainty across most governments. In the U.S., the Fed cut interest rates in July and September — its first interest rate cuts since 2008 — in an effort to prolong the U.S. economic expansion. In Europe, an economic slowdown, driven by weaker foreign demand, global tariff disputes and business uncertainty risk from Brexit, led the European Central Bank (“ECB”) to restart its quantitative easing measures. Emerging markets equities started the third quarter on a soft note, as in July 2019, despite their meeting in Shanghai, the U.S. and Chinese Presidents were unable to make any forward steps toward a trade deal. Emerging markets equities remained under pressure in August 2019, as the U.S. President announced a new round of tariffs on another $300 billion of Chinese goods, and China announced retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion of U.S. goods. Emerging markets equities then surged in September 2019, as optimism rose that both sides might soon be able to reach an agreement. |
| | In October 2019, global equities generated positive returns. Within developed equity markets broadly, investors welcomed signs of an easing in geopolitical tensions, as U.S. and Chinese authorities appeared to move closer to a partial trade agreement and as the risks of a no-deal Brexit receded with the European Union extending the Brexit deadline to January 31, 2020. In the U.S., the Fed cut interest rates for the third time in 2019, but Fed Chair Powell signaled another rate change was unlikely as long as economic conditions remained steady. European equity markets moved higher on positive third calendar quarter corporate earnings and unchanged ECB policy. Japanese equities saw positive returns during October 2019, as Japan’s economy continued to recover. As for emerging markets equities, they benefited from the seeming progress in U.S.-China trade talks, with investors then expecting some sort of official interim deal between the two parties in the foreseeable future. Indian equities continued their solid performance during the month, largely driven by continued economic momentum and corporate earnings upgrades following the nation’s September corporate tax rate cut. Brazil continued its monetary policy easing cycle, as its central bank cut interest rates for a third straight meeting following the passing of new pension reform that led to heightened hopes of a recovery for the country’s sluggish economy amid low inflation. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund generated positive absolute returns and outperformed the Index. The Fund’s outperformance was driven primarily by security selection. Asset allocation also added modestly to relative returns. |
| | The Fund also benefited as we sought to mitigate the risks associated with increased market volatility. Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of 2018 and through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was helped by our decision to focus on companies with greater earnings stability. Near calendar year-end, we found what we considered to be the best risk-reward opportunities in companies with more stable growth, which bolstered the Fund’s performance. We preferred these companies to high growth companies, which we considered prone to downward earnings revisions, and also to relatively inexpensive stocks that offered little growth potential, in our view. Our focus on large-cap stocks was also a tailwind for the Fund, as large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors and countries most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, stock selection in nine of the 11 sectors in the Index added to the Fund’s relative performance. The greatest gains were within the financials sector, led by financial exchanges and emerging markets bank stocks. Security selection in the communication services and health care sectors also contributed positively to relative performance. Conversely, stock selection in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors detracted slightly from relative returns. |
| | From an asset allocation perspective, an underweight position relative to the Index in the energy sector and overweight positions relative to the Index in the information technology and health care sectors contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. On the other hand, underweight positions in the consumer discretionary, industrials and materials sectors diminished the Fund’s relative performance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | With regard to countries, stock selection in the U.K., Spain and Germany added substantially to the Fund’s returns. On the downside, stock selection in the Netherlands and China detracted from relative results. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s best-performing individual holdings during the Reporting Period were Cellnex Telecom, London Stock Exchange Group and HDFC Bank. |
| | Cellnex Telecom, Europe’s leading independent wireless tower operator, added most to the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. The Spain-based company executed on its core strategy, providing long-term corporate earnings visibility, and benefited from its European telecommunication cost-cutting initiatives. |
| | The London Stock Exchange Group, a U.K.-headquartered financial exchange, benefited from growth in its diversified business lines, both in transaction volumes for swaps and in investment flows into passive products through FTSE Russell, its wholly owned subsidiary. |
| | Despite macro headwinds in India, HDFC Bank benefited from broadly lower non-performing loans compared to its state-run peers. It also continued to gain market share through strong underwriting and cost advantages due to scale. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Glencore, Capgemini and Hang Seng Bank detracted most from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. |
| | The Fund was hampered by an investment in Glencore, a British-Swiss commodity trading and mining company that is both diversified across product lines and closely tied to China. Because of slowing Chinese economic growth, we considered Glencore’s risks too high. As a result, we sold the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period in favor of what we saw as other attractive opportunities. |
| | France-based Capgemini, an information technology consulting firm, experienced weakness in its largest core European markets, which was not completely offset by its attempts to diversify into non-core European markets. During the Reporting Period, we eliminated the Fund’s investment in Capgemini and reallocated the capital to what we considered better alternatives. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in Hang Seng Bank amid decelerating business economics, the result of the bank’s slower than consensus expected market expansion. In addition, a sharp decline in Hong Kong economic activity reduced the bank’s earnings growth visibility, in our view. |
Q | | Were there any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund initiated a position in Novartis, a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company. We liked what we considered to be Novartis’ robust and diversified product pipeline as well as a fundamental improvement in its core business. Specifically, the company was focusing less on lower-margin generic medications and more on higher-margin oncology drugs. |
| | Another notable purchase was China Tower, the world’s largest telecommunications infrastructure operator. In our view, the company is benefiting from improved tenancy rates and increased demand for mobile broadband use. We also believe it is at the forefront of the rollout of China’s fifth-generation, or 5G, network. |
| | As mentioned previously, we exited the Fund’s investments in Glencore, Capgemini and Hang Seng Bank during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund’s sector and country weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of sector weightings, we increased the Fund’s exposures to health care and utilities during the Reporting Period. We decreased its exposures to financials and consumer staples. Regarding countries, we increased the Fund’s exposures to the U.S. and France and reduced its exposures to Japan and the Netherlands during the Reporting Period. |
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. During the Reporting Period, the Fund used rights to obtain the opportunity, but not the obligation, to buy additional shares of Cellnex Telecom at a discount, which had a positive impact on performance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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, health care, information technology and utilities sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. It was underweight the consumer discretionary, energy, industrials, materials and real estate sectors. The Fund was rather neutrally positioned compared to the Index in the communication services and financials sectors 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, Switzerland, Spain and India. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight Japan, Brazil, Canada, China, South Korea and Taiwan. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted in the other countries comprising the Index. |
Q: | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A: | | Effective September 1, 2019, Brian Kersmanc of GQG Partners LLC was added as a deputy portfolio manager for the Fund. Rajiv Jain continued to serve as the lead portfolio manager for the Fund. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the probability of a no-deal Brexit had declined, and while the U.S.-China trade dispute was still unresolved, we saw a desire for de-escalation. In our view, the reduced uncertainty could prove positive for equity markets overall in the near term. We also believed our focus on durable earnings growth is likely to be rewarded going forward. That said, in anticipation of a global economic recovery, investors could drive up share prices on lower quality, cyclical companies, in our opinion. If so, our quality approach may well lag the Index. |
| | 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. We are generally sector-neutral in our investment approach, which means we look for “best of breed” companies across sectors, whether or not those sectors are traditionally defined as cyclical or not. 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. |

2 | | 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 generally 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. 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. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily 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, andnon-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/orpro-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. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid 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
20

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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.
E. 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).
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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
21

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts.Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence oftwo-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 aremarked-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.
Aforward foreign currency exchange contractis a forward contract in which the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at apre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts aremarked-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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, service fees, 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, 2020 and prior to such date 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.

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its 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 receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.
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 the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Fund’s master netting agreements with certain borrowers provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for thenon-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right ofset-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The Fund’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Fund’s overnight and continuous agreements, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of October 31, 2019, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Both the Fund and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, are reported under Investment Income on the Statement of Operations.

8. 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 foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior two years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
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), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which 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 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.
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 ofnon-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
28

|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
shareholder redemptions, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
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.
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 or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on the Fund’s liquidity.
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 isnon-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.
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.

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, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019, including the related notes,and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended October 31, 2019 (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, 2019 through October 31, 2019, 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 andSub-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 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, 2020 by the Board, 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 August6-7, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Board also considered thesub-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 four 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 theSub-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 theSub-Adviser, including, as applicable, information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and theSub-Adviser and theSub-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 trends over time; and |
| (iii) | | comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided by the Investment Adviser to anon-U.S. fund 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; |

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-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 sharesand the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; information on theSub-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 (as well as theSub-Adviser), 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 andSub-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 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 theSub-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 Trustees periodically received written materials and oral presentations from theSub-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 Trustees reviewed a written response prepared by theSub-Adviser to a similar request for information submitted to theSub-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 andnon-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 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 theSub-Adviser oversight process that the Investment Adviser had employed, which included areas such as investment analytics, risk management and compliance.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of the Fund to its peers using rankings 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
34
GOLDMAN SACHS GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-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 theSub-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 first quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group for theone- and three-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s primary benchmark index for theone-year period ended March 31, 2019.
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 ofsub-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 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 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” rate (excluding certain expenses) to a specified level. They also considered comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to anon-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 andpre-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 periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. Profitability data for the Fund was provided for 2018 and 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 | |
35
GOLDMAN SACHS GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-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 Trustees also considered the relationship between the advisory andsub-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. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.
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 fund in which the Fund’s 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 theSub-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 thesefall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Fund receives certain other potential benefits as a result of 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 due to 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, 2020.
Sub-Advisory Agreement with GQG Partners LLC
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under theSub-Advisory Agreement
In evaluating theSub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser andSub-Adviser. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by theSub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services provided to the Fund by theSub-Adviser, including information about theSub-Adviser’s (a) personnel and compensation structure; (b) track record in managing the Fund and other funds and/or accounts
36
GOLDMAN SACHS GQG PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
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 theSub-Adviser, theSub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program.
Costs of Services Provided
The Trustees reviewed the terms of theSub-Advisory Agreement, including the schedule of fees payable to theSub-Adviser. They considered the breakpoints in thesub-advisory fee rate payable under theSub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the compensation paid to theSub-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 theSub-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 thesub-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 theSub-Adviser.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of theSub-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 thesub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser to theSub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that theSub-Advisory Agreement should be approved and continued until August 31, 2020.

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 the12-month period ended October 31, 2019 (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, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 5.75%, 4.98%, 6.20%, 6.02%, 6.20%, 5.60% and 6.19%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.40% 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. |
| | 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 | | During the Reporting Period, the capital markets experienced mixed results, as global economic growth concerns and trade war uncertainty led to sustained market volatility. |
| | The first half of the Reporting Period was characterized by a challenging 2018year-end followed by a remarkably strong rally during the first four months of 2019. Global equities fell significantly in November and December 2018, as investors’ hopes for a trade reconciliation between the U.S. and China were dashed.Risk-off market sentiment, or reduced risk appetite, increased, and U.S. Treasury yields began a downward slide that endured for most of the Reporting Period. In January 2019, global equities rebounded from their losses, jumpstarted by a more accommodative tone from U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Jerome Powell, who cited the need for a patient approach toward future interest rate changes given the continued economic slowdown in China and softening U.S. economic data. In March 2019, amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and in response to the stock market volatility at 2018year-end, the Fed announced its intention to hold interest rates steady through the conclusion of the 2019 calendar year. Meanwhile, monetary policy easing by central banks in Europe and China further supported global equities, which experienced their strongest first calendar quarter rally in more than two decades. However, despite the global equity rally, the weakening global economy, which was exacerbated by unpredictable trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China, stayed top of mind for investors. In March 2019, these concerns drove yields on German and Japanese10-year government bonds into negative territory. |
| | During the second half of the Reporting Period, global equity markets generally traded sideways and remained heavily influenced by trade disputes and global central bank policies. (When a market trades sideways, it generally moves within a fairly stable range without forming any distinct trends over a period of time.) Global equities began May 2019 nearall-time highs before sharply declining during the month, as a breakdown in U.S. and China trade negotiations led to fresh U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. For much of the spring and summer, investor sentiment whipsawed as the U.S. and China swapped tariff threats and company-specific blacklists. Meanwhile, the Fed shifted its monetary policy stance, deciding to cut short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in July 2019 — its first interest rate cut in more than a decade. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Further 25 basis point reductions followed in September and |

| October 2019. The Fed’s concern about declining economic growth and its accommodative monetary policy stance was reiterated by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who unveiled a new quantitative easing plan for the European Union just as his term ended on October 31st. In October 2019, the European Union remained front and center, as it approved another delay in Brexit (or the U.K.’s departure from the European Union) beyond the originally scheduled October 31st deadline. For the Reporting Period overall, global equities (as represented by the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index) were up more than 12%, driven by positive performance across all major regions. From a sector perspective, cyclical stocks and information technology stocks were notable performers. Energy was the only sector that posted a negative absolute return for the Reporting Period. |
| | Credit markets broadly sold off during the first two months of the Reporting Period. Thesell-off was driven byrisk-off investor sentiment and a flight to quality through November and December 2018 as well as by significant market volatility due in part to the partial U.S. federal government shutdown, investor uncertainty around the Fed’s monetary policy, tumultuous U.S.-China trade relations and uncertain global economic growth. At the beginning of 2019, however, investor sentiment improved in light of seemingly positive developments in U.S.-China trade talks as well as data indicative of ongoing solid U.S. economic growth and a more dovish Fed. (Dovish tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) Investment grade corporate bonds outperformed nearly all other major fixed income sectors during the first 10 months of 2019, surpassing high yield corporate bonds midway through the calendar year as the longer duration profile of investment grade corporate bonds benefited from a significant rally in interest rates and tightening credit spreads (or yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity). Emerging markets debt rallied, as investor optimism around U.S.-China trade negotiations persisted, with U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt outpacing local currency emerging markets debt. |
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 morenon-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 16 Underlying Managers — Acadian Asset Management LLC (“Acadian”); ADG Capital Management LLP (“ADG”); Algert Global LLC (“Algert”); Ares Capital Management II LLC (“Ares”); Artisan Partners LP (“Artisan”); Bardin Hill Arbitrage IC Management LP (“Bardin Hill”); 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”); 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 16 Underlying Managers represented five strategies — equity long/short (FPA, Sirios and Wellington); event driven and credit (Ares, Bardin Hill, Brigade and River Canyon); tactical trading (ADG, Crabel, Emso, One River and QMS); relative value (Acadian and Algert); and dynamic equity (Artisan and GQG Partners). |
| | Of the 16 Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the Reporting Period, 11 generated positive absolute returns and five generated negative absolute returns. |
| | In addition, during the Reporting Period, the Fund allocated assets to Russell Investments Commodity Advisor, LLC (“RICA”). 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 detracted from 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 positive returns and one generated a negative return. The |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Fund did not have an allocation to the opportunistic fixed income strategy during the Reporting Period. |
A | | The Fund’s dynamic equity strategy added the most to performance, driven by gains in the financials, communication services and materials sectors. Notable individual contributors were U.S.-based payment processor Mastercard, German software company SAP and U.K. stock exchange London Stock Exchange Group. On a regional basis, the dynamic equity strategy benefited from its exposures to North America and Europe. 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 equity long/short strategy further bolstered the Fund’s performance, led by the Underlying Managers’ positions in the information technology, financials and industrials sectors. Leading individual contributors were Airbus, a Netherlands-based aeronautics company; BJ’s Wholesale Club, a U.S. warehouse club chain; General Mills, a U.S. food company; and SunTrust Banks, a U.S. bank holding company. The equity long/short strategy’s gains were offset slightly by the Underlying Managers’ hedging losses as well as by leading individual detractors, such as Affiliated Managers Group, a U.S. investment management firm, and General Dynamics, a U.S. aerospace and defense contractor. 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 event driven and credit strategy overall contributed positively 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 communication services, health care and information technology sectors. The top contributors were a U.S. health services organization and a U.S. financials services firm. Notable detractors included a Canadian oil sands producer, a U.S. pharmacy benefits manager and a U.S. financial services technology provider. Within credit strategies, the Fund benefited from its positions in asset backed securities. 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. |
| | The tactical trading strategy added modestly to the Fund’s performance, with managed futures strategies contributing positively and macro and emerging markets strategies detracting from results. Within managed futures strategies, Underlying Managers benefited from trading gains in interest rates, while trading in commodities diminished performance. Within macro strategies, the Underlying Managers’ positions in fixed income hurt performance, though this was offset somewhat by gains from foreign currency positions. Within emerging markets strategies, the Underlying Managers experienced losses in their holdings of external sovereign high yield corporate bonds, which were largely offset by gains in their holdings of local currency emerging markets bonds. 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. |
| | The relative value strategy detracted from Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period, led by Underlying Managers’ exposure to the value factor. Losses were concentrated in the information technology, materials and utilities sectors. These negative results were offset somewhat by gains in consumer discretionary and, to a lesser extent, financials. Relative |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| 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. |
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 andover-the-counter equity options, forward contracts, warrants, rights, 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, fixed income swaps, interest only securities, structured securities, 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 dynamic equity strategy. Most of the increase occurred in December 2018, with the addition of Artisan as a new Underlying Manager. Artisan constructs its portfolio across select themes and is skewed towardsmid-to-large cap U.S. stocks, with the flexibility to invest globally across market caps. We believe one of Artisan’s key differentiators is its effort to identify inflections in trends before focusing on the specific industry segments and companies most exposed to these themes. We funded the increase in the Fund’s allocation to the dynamic equity strategy by reducing its allocation to the tactical trading strategy, ultimately removing One River and QMS as Underlying Managers for the Fund. That said, within the tactical trading strategy, we added ADG as a new Underlying Manager to focus on systematic macro strategies. ADG employs a systematic investment model designed to capture relative value, risk premia, macroeconomic and market dynamic factors across markets. In addition, during the Reporting Period, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to the relative value strategy, removing Acadian as an Underlying Manager. |
| | Overall, we added two Underlying Managers and removed four Underlying Managers during the Reporting Period. As mentioned previously, we added Artisan and ADG as new Underlying Managers for the Fund. Artisan was added as an Underlying Manager within the Fund’s dynamic equity strategy, joining GQG Partners, and was allocated capital in November 2018. ADG was added as an Underlying Manager with the Fund’s tactical trading strategy, joining Crabel, Emso, One River and QMS, and was allocated capital in December 2018. Effective February 27, 2019, One River and QMS no longer served as Underlying Managers within the tactical trading strategy. Acadian no longer served as an Underlying Manager within the relative value strategy as of April 5, 2019. As of October 11, 2019, we removed ADG as an Underlying Manager, preferring to access tactical trading exposure through the other Underlying Managers. |
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. |

The percentages above exclude cash and the allocation to Russell Investments Commodity Advisor, LLC, which manages a beta completion mandate for the Fund. |

Performance Summary
October 31, 2019
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2019, 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 BofAML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, are shown. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns set forth below 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 below. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns.

* | | These returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.50% 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 Average Annual Total Return. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. The Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Basis of Consolidation for the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund — The Cayman Commodity — MMA IV, Ltd. (a “Subsidiary”), Cayman Islands exempted companies, respectively, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle 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 Subsidiary and it is intended that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the 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 anywinding-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, 2019, the Fund’s net assets were $264,277,815 of which, $ 3,965,169, or 1.5%, represented the Cayman Commodity — MMA IV, Ltd.’s net assets. As of October 31, 2019, the Cayman Commodity — MMA, Ltd., and Cayman Commodity — MMA V, 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 onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost.
50
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
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 swaps 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, andnon-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/orpro-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 theex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
Each Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of each Subsidiary’s income. Net losses of a Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
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 measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions and are generally classified as Level 2. 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 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
52

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G7 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. 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.
ii. Structured Notes — The values of structured notes are based on the price movements of a reference security or index. Upon termination, a Fund will receive a payment from the issuer based on the value of the referenced instrument (notional amount multiplied by price of the referenced instrument) and record a realized gain or loss. Structured notes that are exchange traded are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 it 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. 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts.Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence oftwo-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
53

Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
October 31, 2019
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 aremarked-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.
Aforward foreign currency exchange contractis a forward contract in which the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at apre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts aremarked-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, 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.
iii. Options — When the Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequentlymarked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts or credit default swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequentlymarked-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 aremarked-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, 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 anymark-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
54
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 or pay the appreciation or depreciation, as applicable, in the value of a specified security, an index, a basket of securities or indices 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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

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, 2019. 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 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 contractualnetting/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, 2019:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiary 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 the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreements remain 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 Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement.
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 Rule12b-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, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of the Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs as Distributor is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution 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 C Shares of the Fund, as set forth below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 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 and Service Plans 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, 2019, Goldman Sachs retained $5 and $0, respectively.
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: 0.17% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares; and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares. Prior to August 1, 2019, such fee was 0.18% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares.
Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of the transfer agency fees equal to 0.06% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares of the Fund through at least February 28, 2020 (the “TA Fee Waiver”). Prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without approval of the Board of Trustees.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest payments on securities sold short, 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 0.194% of the average daily net assets of the Fund and limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest payments on securities sold short, 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) of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares to (after the application of the TA Fee

Waiver described above) 2.13%, 2.88%, 1.80%, 1.88%, 1.79%, 2.38%, and 1.79%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2020, and prior to such date 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” limitations described above. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of October 31, 2019, the Fund participated in a $580,000,000 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 Fund based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 30, 2019, the facility was $770,000,000.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, Goldman Sachs earned $23,010, in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2019, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 100% of Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Fund.

Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
October 31, 2019
There were no distributions by the Fund during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018.
As of October 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income — net | | $ | 2,552,028 | |
Capital loss carryforwards:(1) | | | | |
Perpetual Short-Term | | | (57,221,512 | ) |
Perpetual Long-Term | | | (3,605,611 | ) |
Total capital loss carryforwards | | $ | (60,827,123 | ) |
Timing differences (Straddle Loss Deferral) | | $ | (1,390,785 | ) |
Unrealized gains (losses) — net | | | 7,363,853 | |
Total accumulated earnings (losses) net | | $ | (52,302,027 | ) |
(1) | | The Fund utilized $8,604,233 of capital losses in the current fiscal year. |
As of October 31, 2019, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 234,901,038 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 9,514,065 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (2,150,212 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | $ | 7,363,853 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures, net mark to market gains/(losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, passive foreign investment company investments, swap transactions, foreign currency transactions.
The Fund reclassed $438,167 from paid in capital to distributable earnings for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and result primarily from differences in the tax treatment of 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 (if any) being hedged.
62
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 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), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which 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.
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 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 ofnon-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or 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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains 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 or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
conditions. If the Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income 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. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on the Fund’s liquidity.
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 were 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 the 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 (the “Notes Rulings”) or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments are “qualifying income” for 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. The IRS recently issued final regulations that, would generally treat the Fund’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income either if (A) there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of a subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion or (B) such inclusion is derived with respect to the Fund’s business of investing in stock, securities, or currencies.
The IRS also 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. In connection with issuing such revenue procedure, the IRS has revoked the Notes Ruling on a prospective basis. In light of the revocation of the Notes Rulings, the Fund has limited its investments in commodity index-linked structured notes. The Fund has obtained an opinion of counsel that the Fund’s income from investments in the Subsidiary 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 (Subtopic310-20): 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.
Subsequent events after the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities date other than above have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Tothe 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 subsidiary (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust II, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2019, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019, 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, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019 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, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended October 31, 2019 (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), 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, 2019 through October 31, 2019, 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 andSub-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 selectingsub-advisers (subject to Board approval), allocating the Fund’s assets among them, and overseeing theirday-to-day management of Fund assets. The Board 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, 2020 by the Board, 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 August6-7, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Board also considered thesub-advisory agreements (each a “DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Management Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Adviser and each of Algert Global LLC, Ares Capital Management II LLC, Brigade Capital Management, LP, Crabel Capital Management, LLC, Emso Asset Management Limited, First Pacific Advisors, LLC, GQG Partners LLC, Halcyon Arbitrage IC Management LP, River Canyon Fund Management LLC, Russell Investments Commodity Advisor, LLC, Sirios Capital Management, L.P., and Wellington Management Company LLP (each a “DesignatedSub-Adviser” and collectively, the “DesignatedSub-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 four 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 DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Advisers, including, as applicable, information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and the DesignatedSub-Advisers and the DesignatedSub-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; |
69
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-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 DesignatedSub-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 (as well as the DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-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 Trustees periodically received written materials and oral presentations from the DesignatedSub-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 Trustees reviewed a written response prepared by each DesignatedSub-Adviser to a similar request for information submitted to the DesignatedSub-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 andnon-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. They also recalled presentations received during the past year, which described portfolio management 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 theSub-Adviser oversight process that the Investment Adviser had employed, which included areas such as investment analytics, risk management and compliance.

Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, they compared the investment performance ofthe Fund to its peers usingrankings 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 benchmark. 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 index 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 theSub-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 second quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group for theone-year period and the third quartile for the three- and five-year periods, and had underperformed the Fund’s U.S. Treasury-based benchmark index for theone-year period ended March 31, 2019.
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 ofsub-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 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.
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 andpre-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
71

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. Profitability data for the Fund was provided for 2018 and 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 $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 Trustees also considered the relationship between the advisory andsub-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 theSub-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 thesefall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Fund receives certain other potential benefits as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Fund because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (d) the Fund’s access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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
72
GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
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, 2020.
DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements and Performance
In evaluating the DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the DesignatedSub-Advisers. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by each DesignatedSub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services provided to the Fund by each DesignatedSub-Adviser, including information about each DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Adviser’s respective sleeve of the Fund since its inception, including a comparison of each DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement, including the schedule of fees payable to the DesignatedSub-Advisers. They considered any breakpoints in thesub-advisory fee rate payable under each DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the compensation paid to each DesignatedSub-Adviser is paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Fund, and that the retention of the DesignatedSub-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 thesub-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 DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Advisers had agreed to reduce theirsub-advisory fee rate. The Trustees reviewed the blended average of allsub-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 DesignatedSub-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 thesub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser to each DesignatedSub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the factors considered, and that each DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement should be approved and continued until August 31, 2020.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Strategic Multi-Asset Class Funds
Market Review
The capital markets experienced mixed results during the 12 months ended October 31, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), as global economic growth concerns and trade war uncertainty led to sustained market volatility.
The first half of the Reporting Period was characterized by a challenging 2018year-end followed by a remarkably strong rally during the first four months of 2019. Global equities fell significantly in November and December 2018, as investors’ hopes for a trade reconciliation between the U.S. and China were dashed.Risk-off market sentiment, or reduced risk appetite, increased, and U.S. Treasury yields began a downward slide that endured for most of the Reporting Period. In January 2019, global equities rebounded from their losses, jumpstarted by a more accommodative tone from U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Jerome Powell, who cited the need for a patient approach toward future interest rate changes given the continued economic slowdown in China and softening U.S. economic data. In March 2019, amid ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and in response to the stock market volatility at 2018year-end, the Fed announced its intention to hold interest rates steady through the conclusion of the 2019 calendar year. Meanwhile, monetary policy easing by central banks in Europe and China further supported global equities, which experienced their strongest first calendar quarter rally in more than two decades. However, despite the global equity rally, the weakening global economy, which was exacerbated by unpredictable trade rhetoric between the U.S. and China, stayed top of mind for investors. In March 2019, these concerns drove yields on German and Japanese10-year government bonds into negative territory.
During the second half of the Reporting Period, global equity markets generally traded sideways and remained heavily influenced by trade disputes and global central bank policies. (When a market trades sideways, it generally moves within a fairly stable range without forming any distinct trends over a period of time.) Global equities began May 2019 nearall-time highs before sharply declining during the month, as a breakdown in U.S. and China trade negotiations led to fresh U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. For much of the spring and summer, investor sentiment whipsawed as the U.S. and China swapped tariff threats and company-specific blacklists. Meanwhile, the Fed shifted its monetary policy stance, deciding to cut short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in July 2019 — its first interest rate cut in more than a decade. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Further 25 basis point reductions followed in September and October 2019. The Fed’s concern about declining economic growth and its accommodative monetary policy stance was reiterated by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who unveiled a new quantitative easing plan for the European Union just as his term ended on October 31st. In October 2019, the European Union remained front and center, as it approved another delay in Brexit (or the U.K.’s departure from the European Union) beyond the originally scheduled October 31st deadline. For the Reporting Period overall, global equities (as represented by the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index) were up more than 12%, driven by positive performance across all major regions. From a sector perspective, cyclical stocks and information technology stocks were notable performers. Energy was the only sector that posted a negative absolute return for the Reporting Period.
Credit markets broadly sold off during the first two months of the Reporting Period. Thesell-off was driven byrisk-off investor sentiment and a flight to quality through November and December 2018 as well as by significant market volatility due in part to the partial U.S. federal government shutdown, investor uncertainty around the Fed’s monetary policy, tumultuous U.S.-China trade relations and uncertain global economic growth. At the beginning of 2019, however, investor sentiment improved in light of seemingly positive developments in U.S.-China trade talks as well as data indicative of ongoing solid U.S. economic growth and a more dovish Fed. (Dovish tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) Investment grade corporate bonds outperformed nearly all other major fixed income sectors during the first 10 months of 2019, surpassing high yield corporate bonds midway through the calendar year as the longer duration profile of investment grade corporate bonds benefited from a significant rally in interest rates and tightening credit spreads (or yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity). Emerging markets debt also rallied, as investor optimism around U.S.-China trade negotiations persisted, with U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt outpacing local currency emerging markets debt.
Global real estate securities reached their lows of the Reporting Period during the last two months of 2018 but were more resilient overall than global equities. During the first 10 months of 2019, global real estate securities rallied alongside global equities broadly and were trading at the end of the Reporting Period at premium valuations to their underlying net asset values on average, with solid fundamentals and transaction volumes in private real estate markets driving investor sentiment. During the Reporting

MARKET REVIEW
Period as a whole, the performance of global real estate securities was driven largely by investor expectations of more dovish Fed monetary policy and by falling long-term yields, which cast real estate securities in an attractive light from a yield perspective and seemed likely to keep borrowing costs low for capital-intensive real estate companies. That said, there continued to be disparities in valuations amongst market segments across regions. Segments viewed as defensive generally performed strongly as thelower-for-longer interest rate investment theme strengthened, and sectors viewed as more vulnerable to weaker economic growth and/or geopolitical risks were weaker. Among market segments, industrial real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) performed strongly during the Reporting Period overall, as they continued to be well supported bye-commerce demand, supply chain reconfiguration and high barriers to entry for competitive new supply. Conversely, retail REITs, specifically malls, were weaker, as they suffered from ongoing retail store closures, a lack of significant transaction activity that would demonstrate asset values, and growing investor concerns regarding the potential negative impact of U.S.-China trade issues. Regionally, Asia and North America drove real estate markets during the Reporting Period overall, while European real estate markets lagged. Asia rallied in spite of investors’ geopolitical, trade and economic concerns, while the decline in U.S. long-term yields and the Fed’s dovish pivot unpinned the rally in North American real estate.
As for global infrastructure markets, they moved higher during the Reporting Period, holding up well during the equity marketsell-off in December 2018 and keeping pace with the rally in risk assets from January 2019 through the end of the Reporting Period. For the Reporting Period overall, global infrastructure securities outperformed global equities broadly. Among market segments, real estate infrastructure assets performed most strongly. Specialized REITs focused on communications infrastructure performed particularly well during the Reporting Period, as U.S.-based cellular tower companies benefited from strong earnings results and visible growth catalysts derived from increasing mobile data traffic and the transition to fifth-generation, or 5G, networks. Energy also helped drive the performance of global infrastructure markets. Although midstream energy infrastructure securities were weak near the end of 2018, they recovered significantly in the first half of 2019 on the back of sustained and robust fundamental earnings results from underlying companies, particularly within the U.S. (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., energyend-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.) The utilities sector was another source of strength, led by multi-utilities, particularly within North America, followed by gas and water utilities. Regionally, North America was the primary driver of global infrastructure market performance, along with Europe, which also saw strongly positive returns. Developed Asia posted gains, though to a lesser extent given investors’ concerns around the ongoing U.S.-China trade dispute and protests in Hong Kong, which weighed on performance.
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, investors remained focused on a potential resolution to the U.S.-China trade war. Suggestions from both countries that an agreement might be reached by the end of 2019 were met with cautious optimism. Investors also adopted await-and-see approach toward Brexit given a second delay in its implementation and a new deadline of January 31, 2020. An early general election in the U.K., scheduled for December 2019, added further to Brexit-related uncertainty. Going forward, we expect investors to remain watchful for signs the accommodative efforts of the world’s central banks are effective in staving off a further slowdown in the global economy. We also expect investors to continue monitoring the progress of U.S.-China trade talks.

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 for12-month period ended October 31, 2019 (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 11.39%. This return compares to the 12.36% 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. The GPS Group also provides certain risk management services to the Fund. |
| | During the Reporting Period, the Fund recorded a double-digit positive absolute return but underperformed the Index. The Fund’s relative underperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Managers overall. Strategic asset allocation also underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. |
| | At various points during the Reporting Period, the Fund had capital allocated to 12 Underlying Managers — 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”), Massachusetts Financial Services Company, doing business as MFS Investment Management, (“MFS”), Principal Global Investors, LLC (“Principal”), QMA LLC (“QMA”) (known as Quantitative Management Associates LLC prior to April 3, 2019); Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (“Vaughan Nelson”), Vulcan Value Partners, LLC (“Vulcan”), WCM Investment Management (“WCM”) and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington”). |
| | These 12 Underlying Managers represented five market segments across global equity as part of the Fund’stop-level strategy allocation — U.S. large cap (QMA, Vaughan Nelson and Vulcan); Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) large cap (Causeway, MFS and WCM); U.S. small cap (Boston Partners and GW&K); EAFE small cap (Principal); and emerging markets (Fisher and Wellington). LGIMA managed a diversified beta strategy. |
| | Of the 11 Underlying Managers with allocated capital for the entire Reporting Period, all 11 generated positive absolute returns. MFS generated a positive absolute return between June 28, 2019, when it was allocated capital as an Underlying Manager of the Fund, and the end of the Reporting Period. On a relative basis, six Underlying Managers outperformed their respective benchmark indices, four underperformed their respective benchmark indices, and one performed in line with its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. MFS performed in line with its benchmark index between June 28, 2019 and the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | During the first three months of the Reporting Period, the Fund used Russell Investments Implementation Services, |

| LLC (“RIIS”) for a currency overlay program given the hedged nature of the Fund’s benchmark index. Effective February 2019, RIIS was redeemed, and the GPS Group began managing a passive currency overlay, which is designed to hedge exposure tonon-U.S. currencies by selling the currencies in which the Fund’s equity securities are traded and investing in the U.S. dollar. The currency overlay seeks to minimize unintended currency exposures for the Fund. Also, in connection with the risk management services it provides, the GPS Group added passive equity exposure to the Fund during the last two months of the Reporting Period in order to bring the Fund’s beta closer to that of the Index. (Beta refers to the component of the returns that is attributable market risk exposure, rather than manager skill.) |
| | 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 international value manager Causeway, which lagged the MSCI EAFE Index, and emerging markets manager Wellington, which trailed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. These negative results were partially offset by EAFElarge-cap Underlying Manager WCM, which outperformed the MSCI ACWIex-U.S. Index; emerging markets manager Fisher, which performed in line with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index; and U.S.small-cap value manager Boston Partners, which outpaced the Russell 2000® Value Index during the Reporting Period. |
| | Strategic asset allocation, which reflects a longer-term perspective to diversify and invest across global equity markets, underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. The underperformance occurred between the start of the Reporting Period and the end of August 2019, when the Fund held an overweight allocation versus the Index to globalsmall-cap equities and an underweight allocation versus the Index to developed marketslarge-cap equities. In August 2019, the GPS Group modestly changed the strategic asset allocation such that the Fund was tilted toward developed markets equities and away from emerging markets equities and globalsmall-cap equities. That said, the Fund maintained a slight overweight compared to the Index in emerging markets equities and a modest underweight in U.S.large-cap equities. Because of these changes to its strategic asset allocation, the Fund regained a significant portion of its previous losses in the final two months of the Reporting Period, as global equity markets, and emerging markets equities in particular, rallied. |
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 due to its exposure to value and size factors, which led to an underweight position and weak stock selection in the information technology sector. |
| | In EAFE large cap, Underlying Manager WCM outperformed its benchmark index, the MSCI ACWIex-U.S. Index, due to its overweight position and stock selection in the information technology sector and its underweight position and stock selection in the financials sector. Underlying Manager Causeway underperformed its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, because of an underweight position and stock selection in the communication services sector as well as an overweight position and stock selection in the energy sector. Underlying Manager MFS performed in line with its benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, between June 28, 2019 and the end of the Reporting Period, as an overweight and weak stock selection in consumer staples, which detracted, was offset by an underweight and effective stock selection in energy, which contributed positively. |
| | In EAFE small cap, Underlying Manager Principal outperformed its benchmark index, the MSCI Worldex-U.S. Small Cap Index, because of strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. |
| | In U.S. large cap, which we measure relative to the S&P 500® Index, Underlying Manager QMA underperformed the benchmark index primarily due to exposure to value factors, which resulted in weak stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. As for Underlying Manager Vulcan, it outpaced its benchmark index because of beneficial positioning and stock selection in information technology. Underlying Manager Vaughan Nelson also outperformed the benchmark index, largely because of strong stock selection in the materials sector. |
| | In U.S. small cap, both Underlying Managers outperformed their respective benchmark indices. Boston Partners, the value-oriented Underlying Manager, significantly outpaced the Russell 2000® Value Index due to strong stock selection in consumer discretionary and energy. GW&K outperformed the Russell 2000® Index through an underweight position and stock selection in the energy sector. |
| | In emerging markets, which we measure relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, Underlying Manager Wellington |

| underperformed because of weak stock selection in the financials sector. Underlying Manager Fisher performed in line with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as strong stock selection within financials was largely offset by ineffective stock picking in the energy sector. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the first three months of the Reporting Period, RIIS managed a currency overlay allocation that sought to minimize unintended currency exposures that either reduce performance or increase risk of the Fund’s portfolio. As part of this strategy, RIIS used currency forwards, which had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance. During the last nine months of the Reporting Period, the GPS Group managed a passive currency overlay in which it also utilized currency forwards. The use of these currency forwards had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance. During the Reporting Period overall, LGIMA and QMA used equity index futures to manage exposure and tracking error relative to their respective benchmark indices during certain market events, such as dividend accrual periods or small corporate actions. The use of equity index futures had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance. Other Underlying Managers employed rights and warrants to implement their strategies. The use of warrants and rights did not have a material impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period overall. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In January 2019, we reduced the Fund’s allocation to LGIMA as we prepared to reevaluate the diversified beta strategy. We reallocated the capital to the iShares® Core MSCI EAFE ETF and the Vanguard S&P 500® ETF. |
| | As mentioned previously, RIIS was redeemed during February 2019, and the GPS Group began managing the Fund’s passive currency overlay. |
| | In April 2019, MFS was added as an Underlying Manager of the Fund and was allocated capital in June 2019. MFS employs a core style of international equity investing, with a slight growth bias. Using abottom-up investment process, MFS seeks to 1) identify stocks that have a projected earnings growth rate of at least two to three times that of global Gross Domestic Product growth, 2) identify stocks trading at a discount to projected long-term growth, and 3) outperform in a variety of market environments. |
| | At the end of the Reporting Period, Underlying Manager Fisher was redeemed and no longer served as an Underlying Manager of the Fund. We reallocated the capital to the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF. |
| | Regarding the Fund’s strategic asset allocation, the Fund’s assets were allocated at the beginning of the Reporting Period 38.2% to U.S. large cap, 25.8% to EAFE large cap, 10.1% to U.S. small cap, 7.1% to EAFE small cap and 16.8% to emerging markets, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents. When the Reporting Period started, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities. During the third quarter of 2018, we had modestly reduced the Fund’s overweight in emerging markets equities because of heightened market volatility driven by emerging markets currency risk. We further reduced this overweight at the beginning of 2019, as fresh data releases showed continued deterioration in China’s economy. In the process, we increased the Fund’s strategic allocations to U.S. and EAFElarge-cap stocks. Beginning in September 2019, we increased the Fund’s strategic allocations to developed markets equities and reduced its strategic allocations to emerging market equities and globalsmall-cap stocks. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated 47.6% to U.S. large cap, 27.7% to EAFE large cap, 6.4% to U.S. small cap, 4.8% to EAFE small cap and 14.0% to emerging markets, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 25, 2019, Tom Murray no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Fund. By design, all investment decisions for the Fund are performed within aco-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 Neill Nuttall, Kate El-Hillow, Kent Clark and Betsy Gorton. |
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. |

The Fund seeks a total return consisting of income and capital appreciation.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions (“GPS”) and the Goldman Sachs Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Groups discuss the Goldman Sachs Multi-ManagerNon-Core Fixed Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the12-month period ended October 31, 2019 (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 9.03%. This return compares to the 8.91% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Multi-ManagerNon-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. MorganGBI-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. MorganGBI-EMSM Index returned 8.17%, 2.61%, 14.35% and 15.59%, respectively. |
| To compare, the Fund’s previous benchmark index, the Multi-ManagerNon-Core Fixed Income Composite Index, returned 9.84% during the Reporting Period. The Multi-ManagerNon-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. MorganGBI-EMSM Index). For reference, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Index returned 8.38% 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 anon-core fixed income investment strategy.(Non-core fixed income includesnon-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 positive absolute return and outperformed the Index. The Fund’s relative outperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Underlying Managers overall. Strategic asset allocation outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. |
| At various points during the Reporting Period, the Fund had capital allocated to seven Underlying Managers — Ares Capital Management II LLC (“Ares”), BlueBay Asset Management LLP (“BlueBay”), Brigade Capital Management, LP (“Brigade”), Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard”), Marathon Asset Management, L.P. (“Marathon”), Symphony Asset Management LLC |

| (“Symphony”) and TCW Investment Management Company LLC (“TCW”). |
| These seven Underlying Managers represented four sectors acrossnon-core fixed income as part of the Fund’stop-level strategy allocation — high yield (Ares, Blue Bay and Brigade), bank loans (Symphony), external emerging markets debt (Lazard and Marathon) and local emerging markets debt (TCW). |
| Of the four Underlying Managers with allocated capital for the entire Reporting Period, all four posted positive absolute returns. Ares recorded a positive absolute return between the beginning of the Reporting Period and November 7, 2018, when we redeemed it as an Underlying Manager of the Fund. Lazard produced a positive absolute return between the beginning of the Reporting Period and May 24, 2019, when we redeemed it as an Underlying Manager of the Fund. Marathon generated a positive absolute return between April 18, 2019, when it was allocated capital as an Underlying Manager of the Fund, and the end of the Reporting Period. |
| On a relative basis, three of the four Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the entire Reporting Period underperformed their respective benchmark indices and one outperformed its benchmark index. The relative performance of Ares was not particularly meaningful, given we were in the process of redeeming it between the start of the Reporting Period and November 7, 2018. Lazard slightly underperformed its benchmark index between the beginning of the Reporting Period and May 24, 2019, when it was redeemed. Marathon performed in line with its benchmark index between April 18, 2019, when it was allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. |
| Strategic asset allocation, which reflects a longer-term perspective to diversify and invest innon-core fixed income sectors, outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. An underweight allocation versus the Index in bank loans contributed positively, as bank loans underperformed other fixed income sectors, including high yield corporate bonds. During the Reporting Period, investor demand for bank loans was weak, and overall supply contracted. New issuance was generally stagnant due to the shift in Federal Reserve monetary policy from interest rate hikes to interest rate cuts, which reduced the incentive to issue floating rate loans. In addition, the Fund benefited during the Reporting Period from its overweight allocation to emerging markets bonds, as their spreads (or yield differentials versus other bonds of comparable maturity) tightened significantly in 2019, reversing most of the spread widening that had occurred in the second half of 2018. |
Q | | Whichnon-core fixed income Underlying Managers most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Blue Bay, a high yield Underlying Manager, outperformed the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Investment Grade Country Constrained Index, largely because of an overweight position in and favorable selection ofB-rated high yield corporate bonds. An overweight position in the financials market segment was also positive. Exposure to energy high yield corporate bonds somewhat offset these gains. |
| Brigade, the other high yield Underlying Manager, underperformed the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch BB U.S. High Yield Constrained Index. These negative results were driven by security selection in energy and health care, which were partly offset by positive selection in retail and amongBB-rated high yield corporate bonds. |
| Symphony, the bank loans Underlying Manager, underperformed the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index during the Reporting Period. Poor selection in the financials market segment and in post-reorganization equity detracted from performance. (Reorganization equity refers to equity securities that are issued in connection with a reorganization or restructuring.) Strong credit selection within the telecommunications and consumer services market segments, as well as inB-rated credits, partially offset these negative results. |
| TCW, the local emerging markets debt Underlying Manager, modestly underperformed the J.P. MorganGBI-EMSM Index during the Reporting Period, driven by country positioning. Trading in Turkey and an overweight in Argentina further diminished returns, though these losses were somewhat offset by an underweight in Poland and anout-of-benchmark position in Egypt, which added value. |
| Marathon, an external emerging markets debt Underlying Manager, performed in line with the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Diversified Index between April 18, 2019, when it was allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. Credit selection in Guatemala and in certain Persian Gulf countries, such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia, enhanced performance. These positive results were largely offset by weak selection in Kazakhstan and China, which detracted from returns. |
| Lazard, an external emerging markets debt Underlying Manager, slightly underperformed the J.P. Morgan EMBISM |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Diversified Index from the beginning of the Reporting Period through May 24, 2019, when it was redeemed. The underperformance was driven by overweight positions in Argentina and Turkey as well as by a cash drag. Strong security selection in Asia and Europe bolstered results. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s Underlying Managers employed credit default swaps, equity options, warrants, U.S. Treasury futures and forward foreign currency exchange contracts to implement their strategies. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts by Underlying Managers had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance, while the use of credit default swaps, equity options and warrants by Underlying Managers had a negative impact on performance. The use of U.S. Treasury futures by Underlying Managers had a neutral 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 | | In early November 2018, Ares capital was redeemed. We reallocated the capital to Blue Bay and Brigade. |
| In April 2019, Marathon Asset Management, L.P. (“Marathon”) was added as an Underlying Manager of the Fund and was allocated capital during May 2019. Marathon manages a long-only, “optimal beta” strategy designed to match the J.P. MorganGBI-EMSM Index in terms of its primary risk exposures and seeks to outperform it throughbottom-up issue selection and index arbitrage. |
| In May 2019, Lazard was redeemed and no longer served as an Underlying Manager of the Fund. We reallocated the capital to Marathon. |
| In terms of the Fund’s strategic allocation, at the start of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated 41.6% to high yield corporate bonds, 25.3% to local emerging markets debt, 18.4% to external emerging markets debt and 12.7% to bank loans, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents. Beginning in June through September 2019, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to local emerging markets debt and external emerging markets debt, while increasing its exposure to bank loans. At the same time, we increased the Fund’s exposure to high yield corporate bonds. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated 45.7% to high yield corporate bonds, 20.0% to bank loans, 19.1% to local emerging markets debt, 13.2% to external emerging markets debt, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 25, 2019, Tom Murray no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Fund. By design, all investment decisions for the Fund are performed within aco-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 Neill Nuttall, KateEl-Hillow, Kent Clark and Betsy Gorton. |
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 thenon-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. |

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
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions (“GPS”) and the Goldman Sachs Alternative Investments & Manager Selection (“AIMS”) Groups discuss the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019 (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 20.04%. This return compares to the 20.29% average annual total return of the Fund’s 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 20.48% and 19.84%, respectively. |
| | To compare, the Fund’s previous benchmark index, the Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Composite Index, returned 20.21% 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 positive absolute return but modestly underperformed the Index in relative terms. The Fund’s relative underperformance can be attributed to the performance of the Underlying Managers overall. Strategic asset allocation also underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. |
| | At various points during the Reporting Period, the Fund allocated capital to five Underlying Managers — Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (“Cohen & Steers”), 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 five 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 (Cohen & Steers, RARE and RREEF). |
| | Of the three Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the entire Reporting Period, all three generated positive absolute returns. RARE recorded a positive absolute return between the beginning of the Reporting Period and July 26, 2019 when we redeemed it as an Underlying |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Manager of the Fund. Cohen & Steers posted a positive absolute return between May 9, 2019, when it was allocated capital as an Underlying Manager of the Fund, and the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | On a relative basis, two of the Underlying Managers with allocated capital during the entire Reporting Period outperformed their respective benchmark indices, while one generally performed in line with its benchmark index. RARE underperformed its benchmark index between the start of the Reporting Period and July 26, 2019, when it was redeemed. Cohen & Steers underperformed its benchmark index between May 9, 2019, when it was allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | Strategic asset allocation, which reflects a longer-term perspective to diversify and invest across real assets, underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. The underperformance was due to the Fund’s modest allocation to cash, which was a drag on returns, as global real estate securities and global infrastructure securities experienced a strong rally during the Reporting Period overall. In the first quarter of 2019, the Federal Reserve’s dovish tone promoted a positive relationship between real estate investment trusts’ (“REITs”) returns and long-term interest rates. (Dovish tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) Meanwhile, commercial property prices continued to rise, and the increase in prices of multifamily properties contributed to low vacancy rates and high rents. Furthermore, weak investor risk appetite supported the more defensive parts of the capital markets, including real estate securities as well as certain global infrastructure securities, such as those in the utilities sector. |
Q | | Which real assets asset classes most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | In global real estate, which we measure against the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, Underlying Manager PGIM Real Estate outperformed the benchmark index during the Reporting Period. An overweight position in and strong stock selection among U.S. industrial REITs contributed most positively to relative returns. Stock selection within U.S. health care REITS, as well as an underweight in U.S. mall REITs, also added to results. |
| | Global real estate Underlying Manager Presima was relatively neutral in its performance versus its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. An overweight position and strong selection in residential and industrial REITs were largely offset by weaker selection within retail and office REITs. Regionally, strong selection within Asia and, to a lesser extent, Europe was counterbalanced by weaker selection in North America. |
| | In global infrastructure, which we measure against the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index, Underlying Manager RREEF outperformed the benchmark index, as strong stock selection in European communications and transport companies bolstered returns, slightly offset by weak selection among North American utilities. |
| | Global infrastructure Underlying Manager RARE lagged its benchmark index from the beginning of the Reporting Period until it was redeemed on July 26, 2019. An underweight position in towers and in communications infrastructure, along with poor stock selection in industrials, detracted from relative returns. On the positive side, an underweight in energy added to performance. Regionally, stock selection within the emerging markets and an overweight in the U.K. diminished results, while stock selection in North America contributed positively. |
| | Cohen & Steers, another global infrastructure Underlying Manager, underperformed its benchmark index between May 9, 2019, when it was allocated capital, and the end of the Reporting Period. Weak stock selection in midstream energy companies was the largest relative detractor, although this was slightly offset by an overweight position and strong stock selection within communications, which added value. (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.) |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were used by Underlying Managers to facilitate equity transactions settling in foreign currencies. Rights were employed to give the Fund the opportunity, but not the obligation, to buy additional shares of a specific security at a discount. The use of these derivatives and similar instruments had a rather neutral impact on performance during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In April 2019, Cohen & Steers was added as an Underlying Manager of the Fund and, in May 2019, was allocated capital. Cohen & Steers takes a total return relative-value approach to investing in global infrastructure securities. |
| | In July 2019, RARE was redeemed and no longer served as an Underlying Manager of the Fund. We reallocated the capital to Cohen & Steers. |
| | In terms of the Fund’s strategic asset allocation, the Fund’s assets were allocated 60% to global real estate and 39% to global infrastructure, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents, at the beginning of the Reporting Period. In September and October 2019, we slightly increased the Fund’s exposure to global infrastructure securities by reducing its exposure to global real estate securities. In our view, global real estate securities had a less attractive risk/return profile than they did earlier in the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s assets were allocated 54.2% to global real estate and 44.3% to global infrastructure, with the remainder in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
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) | | Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. |
| |
(b) | | Issued with a zero coupon. Income is recognized through the accretion of discount. |
| |
(c) | | Security with “Call” features with resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the final maturity dates. |
| |
(d) | | Coupon changes periodically based upon a predetermined schedule. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on October 31, 2019. |
| |
(e) | | Security is currently in default and/or non-income producing. |
| |
(f) | | Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this portfolio security; i.e., Level 3. |
| |
(g) | | Pay-in-kind securities. |
| |
(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, 2019. |
| |
(i) | | 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, 2019. 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. |
| |
(j) | | 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. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy and underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily 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
86

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain and/or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. 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/orpro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. 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 |
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.
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 Statements 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 use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMday-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities— Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price for long positions or the last ask price for short positions, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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 on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G7 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. 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.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts.Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence oftwo-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 aremarked-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.
Aforward foreign currency exchange contractis a forward contract in which a Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at apre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts aremarked-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.

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
iii. Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequentlymarked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts or credit defaults 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 subsequentlymarked-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 aremarked-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 anymark-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.
A credit default swapis 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.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement —Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | First $1 billion | | | Next $1 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Over $8 billion | | | Effective Rate | | | Effective Net Management Rate*^ | |

* | | 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, 2020, 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-ManagerNon-Core Fixed Income and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Funds invest in 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, 2019, GSAM waived $45,169, $97,183 and $16,376 of the Multi-Manager Global Equity, Multi-ManagerNon-Core Fixed Income and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Funds’ management fees, 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 reduce or limit each Fund’s “Total Annual Operating Expenses” (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency 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 Total Annual Operating 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 Global Equity Fund, Multi-ManagerNon-Core Fixed Income Fund and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund are 0.75%, 0.70%, and 0.90% respectively. Prior to October 1, 2019, the Total Annual Operating Expense limitation for the Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund was 0.85%. Effective October 1, 2019, GSAM has also
94

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
agreed to reduce or limit the Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund’s “Other Expenses” (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The arrangements for the Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund will remain in effect through at least October 1, 2020, and the arrangements for the Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income Fund and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund will each remain in effect through at least February 28, 2020, and prior to such dates 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, 2019, 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 | |
Multi-Manager Global Equity | | $ | 3,924,471 | | | $ | 304,051 | | | $ | 4,228,522 | |

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of October 31, 2019, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 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, 2019, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 30, 2019, the facility was $770,000,000.
E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 , Goldman Sachs earned $165 and $4,766, in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund and Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund, respectively.

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

| | Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund | | | Multi-Manager Non-Core Fixed Income | | | Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy | |

Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities | | | 38,301,038 | | | | 777,641 | | | $ | 45,132,582 | |
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 swap transactions, underlying fund investments, passive foreign investment company investments, real estate investment trust investments and material modification of debt securities.
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), confiscation of assets and property, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
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 ofnon-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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains 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 or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income 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 a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Loan-Related Investments Risk — In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments (e.g., interest rate risk and default risk), 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 or become illiquid or less liquid, 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 certain loan investments may be or become illiquid or less liquid and more difficult to value, particularly in the event of a downgrade of the loan or the borrower. 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 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 (Subtopic310-20): 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.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date other than above have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Tothe Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust II and Shareholders of
Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Multi-ManagerNon-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-ManagerNon-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, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019, including the related notes,and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2019, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2019 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended October 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
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, 2019 through October 31, 2019, which represents a period of 184 days in a365-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.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Global Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Multi-ManagerNon-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 selectingsub-advisers (subject to Board approval), allocating the Fund’s assets among them, and overseeing theirday-to-day management of Fund assets. The Board 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, 2020 by the Board, 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 August6-7, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Board also considered thesub-advisory agreements (each a “DesignatedSub-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, DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc., Fisher Asset Management, LLC, GW&K Investment Management, LLC, Legal & General Investment Management Americas, Inc., Principal Global Investors, LLC, QMA LLC, Russell Investment Commodity Advisor, LLC, Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P., Vulcan Value Partners, LLC, WCM Investment Management, and Wellington Management Company LLP (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, Symphony Asset Management LLC, and TCW Investment Management Company LLC (on behalf of Goldman Sachs Multi-ManagerNon-Core Fixed Income Fund); and (iii) each of PGIM Real Estate (a business unit of PGIM, Inc.), Presima Inc., and RREEF America L.L.C. (on behalf of Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Real Assets Strategy Fund) (each, a “DesignatedSub-Adviser” and collectively, the “DesignatedSub-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 four 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 DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Advisers, including, as applicable, information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and the DesignatedSub-Advisers and the DesignatedSub-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; |
103
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
| (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) | | 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 DesignatedSub-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 (as well as the DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-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 Trustees periodically received written materials and oral presentations from the funds’ varioussub-advisers, including the DesignatedSub-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 Trustees reviewed a written response prepared by each DesignatedSub-Adviser to a similar request for information submitted to the DesignatedSub-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 andnon-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. They also recalled presentations received during the past year, which described portfolio management changes for the Funds. 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
104
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
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 theSub-Adviser oversight process that the Investment Adviser had employed, which included areas such as investment analytics, risk management and compliance.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance ofeach Fund to its peers usingrankings 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 theSub-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 Class R6 Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group for theone-year period and the third quartile for the three-year period, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for theone-year period ended March 31, 2019. They observed that Goldman Sachs Multi-ManagerNon-Core Fixed Income Fund’s Class R6 Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group for theone-year period and second quartile for the three-year period,and had underperformed the Fund’s composite benchmark index for theone-year period ended March 31, 2019. The Trustees noted that the Goldman Sachs Real Assets Strategy Fund’s Class R6 Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s performance peer group for theone-year period and the fourth quartile for the three-year period, and had underperformed the Fund’s composite benchmark index for theone-year period ended March 31, 2019.
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 ofsub-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 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 and breakpoints 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 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. 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 and required fewer services from the Investment Adviser. 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
105
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC MULTI-ASSET CLASS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement andSub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)
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’ssub-advisers. They also considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit each Fund’s “other expenses” rate (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 andpre-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 periodically audits the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2018 and 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 Funds. The Trustees also 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 averagesub-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 Trustees also considered the relationship between the advisory andsub-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 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 theSub-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 thesefall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) enhanced servicing from vendors due to the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the advantages received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (c) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (d) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firm-wide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (e) 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, 2020.
DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements and Performance
In evaluating the DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees relied upon materials furnished and presentations made by the Investment Adviser and the DesignatedSub-Advisers. In evaluating the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by each DesignatedSub-Adviser, the Trustees considered information on the services provided to the Funds by their respective DesignatedSub-Advisers, including information about each DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Adviser, the DesignatedSub-Adviser’s investment strategies and personnel, and its compliance program. The Trustees also reviewed the operations and investment performance of each DesignatedSub-Adviser’s respective sleeve of the applicable Fund since its inception, including a comparison of each DesignatedSub-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 DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement, including the schedule of fees payable to the DesignatedSub-Advisers. They considered any breakpoints in thesub-advisory fee rate payable under each DesignatedSub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the compensation paid to each DesignatedSub-Adviser is paid by the Investment Adviser, not by the Funds. The Trustees considered that certain DesignatedSub-Advisers had agreed to reduce theirsub-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 allsub-advisory fees paid by the Investment Adviser with respect to each Fund in light of the overall management fee paid by each Fund. They also considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to waive a portion of its management fee which is in excess of the weighted average of each Fund’ssub-advisory fees.

In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may bepre-approved under the provisions of the Policy.

Thepre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision ofnon-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 topre-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 benon-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 thepre-approval provisions of the Policy.
Pre-Approval ofNon-Audit Services Provided to GST’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiringpre-approval of audit andnon-audit services provided to GST II, the Audit Committee willpre-approve thosenon-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.
