Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Focused Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI All Country World Index (“ACWI”) is included for comparative purposes.
Class III shares of GMO Climate Change Fund returned +2.91% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +7.81% for the MSCI ACWI.
The Fund’s clean energy holdings declined about 7% during the year and held back performance relative to the index. Solar and wind companies were lower, while biofuels were essentially flat.
The Fund’s copper exposure gained approximately 36%. Ivanhoe Mines and Freeport- McMoRan Inc. were among the best performers.
The Fund’s agriculture exposure also performed well. The Mosaic Company, one of the world’s largest suppliers of phosphate and potash, was a strong contributor to performance.
Because some of the securities and instruments held directly or indirectly by the Fund had positive fair value adjustments at the beginning or end of the fiscal year (and the performance of indices are not fair valued), the Fund’s absolute and relative performance is higher than it otherwise would have been in the absence of such fair value adjustments.
The views expressed herein are exclusively those of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC as of the date of this report and are subject to change. GMO disclaims any responsibility to update such views. They are not meant as investment advice.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder.
For Class III, R6 and I the gross expense ratio of 0.91%, 0.89% and 0.99%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.78%, 0.78% and 0.88% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Emerging Markets Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC and GMO Singapore Pte. Limited.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is included for comparative purposes.
Class II shares of GMO Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund returned -14.13% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with -10.69% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
Country-sector allocation detracted from the Fund’s relative returns for the fiscal year. The Fund’s overweight in China Communication Services and overweight in Russia Communication Services hurt relative performance.
Stock selection contributed to the Fund’s relative returns for the fiscal year. The Fund’s stock selection in China Consumer Discretionary and China Information Technology helped performance.
The views expressed herein are exclusively those of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC as of the date of this report and are subject to change. GMO disclaims any responsibility to update such views. They are not meant as investment advice. References to specific securities are not recommendations of such securities and may not be representative of any GMO portfolio’s current or future investments. All information is unaudited.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
| * | For the period from October 27, 2011 to November 29, 2013, no Class V shares were outstanding. Performance for that period is that of Class II, which has higher expenses. Therefore, the performance shown is lower than it would have been if Class V expenses had been applied throughout. |
| | MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder. |
| | For Class II, V and I the gross expense ratio of 1.15%, 1.02% and 1.25%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 1.13%, 1.00% and 1.16% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance. |

GMO Emerging Markets ex-China Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Emerging Markets Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class VI shares of GMO Emerging Markets ex-China Fund returned -16.15% (net) for the period from the Fund’s inception on October 18, 2021 until the end of fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with -4.10% for the MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China Index.
Country-sector allocation detracted from the Fund’s relative returns for the period. In particular, the Fund’s overweight positions in Russian Materials, Russian Energy, and Russian Financials hurt relative performance.
Stock selection detracted from the Fund’s relative returns for the period. The Fund’s stock selection in Russian Materials, Russian Energy, and Russian Financials hurt relative performance.
The views expressed herein are exclusively those of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC as of the date of this report and are subject to change.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder.
For Class III, VI and I the gross expense ratio of 1.16%, 1.07 and 1.33%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.80%, 0.67% and 0.95% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO Emerging Markets Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Emerging Markets Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class II shares of GMO Emerging Markets Fund returned -15.13% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with -10.69% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
Country-sector allocation detracted from the Fund’s relative returns for the fiscal year. In particular, the Fund’s overweight positions in Russian Materials, Russian Energy, and Russian Financials hurt relative performance.
Stock selection detracted from the Fund’s relative returns for the fiscal year. The Fund’s stock selection in Russian Materials, Russian Energy, and Russian Financials hurt relative performance.

Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions.

GMO International Equity Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Global Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although the Fund is not managed relative to any securities market index or benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index is included for comparative purposes.
Class II shares of GMO International Equity Fund returned +5.00% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +2.83% for the MSCI EAFE Index.
The environment saw a shift to tailwinds for Value, with strong performance from our valuation-oriented models. The magnitude of the favorable conditions for Value is illustrated by the 3.5% outperformance of the MSCI EAFE Value Index when compared to the MSCI EAFE Index for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022.
Areas of notable positive stock selection included areas which had been challenging in the prior year, Japan, the Netherlands, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care. Stock selection was also strong in Communication Services. Top contributors included overweight positioning in Norsk Hydro (Norway Materials), British American Tobacco (UK Consumer Staples), DBS Group (Singapore Financials), and Mercedes-Benz Group (Germany Consumer Discretionary). Underweight positioning toward SoftBank Group (Japan Communication Services) also added value.
The UK was a challenging area for stock selection, along with value lost from names not held and underweight positioning toward Energy. Top detractors included underweight positioning in Nestle (Switzerland Consumer Staples), Royal Dutch Shell (UK Energy), and Novo Nordisk (Denmark Health Care). Overweights toward Fortescue Metals (Australia Materials) and WH Group (Hong Kong Consumer Staples) also detracted from performance.
Because some of the securities and instruments held directly or indirectly by the Fund had positive fair value adjustments at the beginning or end of the fiscal year (and the performance of indices are not fair valued), the Fund’s absolute and relative performance is higher than it otherwise would have been in the absence of such fair value adjustments.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder.
For Class II, III, IV and I the gross expense ratio of 0.76%, 0.69%, 0.63% and 0.86%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.73%, 0.66%, 0.60% and 0.83% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO-Usonian Japan Value Creation Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Usonian Japan Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although the Fund is not managed relative to any securities market index or benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TR) (“TOPIX”) is included for comparative purposes.
Class VI shares of GMO-Usonian Japan Value Creation Fund returned -1.45% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with -4.70% for TOPIX.
Japanese equities delivered a respectable return of 8.7% from March 2021 through year-end as measured by TOPIX in local currency terms but sold off early in 2022 driven by macro uncertainty giving back much of the previous gain. During the period, prime minister Kishida started his administration. The equity market is less sanguine toward the new prime minister relative to his predecessor due to Kishida’s dubious economic policy suggestion, a “new form of capitalism,” which has an extraordinary focus on wealth inequality.
Due to weakness in the yen, Japan equity returns were lower in U.S. dollar terms than in local currency terms. Despite higher real yields in Japan, the U.S. dollar appreciated against the yen by over 8% in the fiscal year, likely due to moves by the Federal Reserve to reduce monetary stimulus while the Bank of Japan stayed highly accommodative. GMO’s Asset Allocation team views the yen as the most attractively valued developed market currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
From a style factor perspective, value stocks jumped to a big lead in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. For the full year, the MSCI Japan Value Index was up 10.8% versus the MSCI Japan Growth Index at -5.1% in local currency terms. Value’s outperformance was largely driven by large capitalization stocks as small cap value did not keep up (probably due to the mix of commodities exposure between the two ends of the capitalization spectrum). Small cap stocks, which the Fund favors, trailed large cap during the year, with the MSCI Japan Small Cap Index up 1.9% vs. the MSCI Japan Large Cap Index, which gained 3.9%.
Relative to TOPIX, security selection within sectors contributed to returns this period. Selection results in Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary made the largest positive impact while Materials and Consumer Staples detracted. Sector allocation also contributed to returns. An overweight in Financials and underweight in Communication Services contributed to the returns, while an underweight in Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology detracted.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
For Class III, VI and I the gross expense ratio of 0.88%, 0.79% and 0.98%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.65%, 0.56%, 0.75% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO Quality Cyclicals Fund (formerly GMO Cyclical Focus Fund)
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Focused Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI All Country World Index (“ACWI”) is included for comparative purposes.
Class VI shares of GMO Quality Cyclicals Fund returned +10.22% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +7.81% for the MSCI ACWI.
Relative to the MSCI ACWI, sector allocation contributed to returns this period. The Energy (overweight) and Communication Services (underweight) allocations made the largest positive impact while Consumer Discretionary (overweight) and Information Technology (underweight) detracted. Security selection within sectors contributed to returns. Selection results in Materials and Financials made the largest positive impact. Energy, Information Technology, and Industrials reduced returns. Stock selection within sectors mattered more than sector allocation.
The U.S./non-U.S. regional allocation made a negative contribution.
EOG Resources, Nutrien, and American Express made positive contributions while Lukoil, Neste, and Lyft had a negative impact.
The views expressed herein are exclusively those of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC as of the date of this report and are subject to change. GMO disclaims any responsibility to update such views. They are not meant as investment advice. References to specific securities are not recommendations of such securities and may not be representative of any GMO portfolio’s current or future investments. All information is unaudited.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
MSCI data may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose. MSCI provides no warranties, has not prepared or approved this report, and has no liability hereunder.
For Class VI and I the gross expense ratio of 0.60% and 0.79%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.40% and 0.59% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO Quality Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Focused Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index is included for comparative purposes.
Class III shares of GMO Quality Fund returned +14.71% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +16.39% for the S&P 500 Index.
Relative to the S&P 500, sector allocation had little impact this period. The Communication Services (underweight) and Information Technology (overweight) allocations helped returns while Energy (underweight) and Real Estate (underweight) reduced returns. Security selection within sectors made a negative contribution. Selection results in Financials and Communication Services helped returns. This was outweighed by stock selection within Information Technology and Industrials.
The allocation to non-U.S. stocks detracted from relative returns.
UnitedHealth, Wells Fargo, and Anthem made the largest positive impact while Alibaba, NVIDIA (underweight), and Medtronic detracted.
The views expressed herein are exclusively those of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC as of the date of this report and are subject to change. GMO disclaims any responsibility to update such views. They are not meant as investment advice. References to specific securities are not recommendations of such securities and may not be representative of any GMO portfolio’s current or future investments. All information is unaudited.

GMO Resources Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Focused Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI All Country World Index (“ACWI”) Commodity Producers Index is included for comparative purposes.
Class III shares of GMO Resources Fund returned 13.29% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with 30.66% for the MSCI ACWI Commodity Producers Index.
The Fund’s positioning in energy had a negative impact on relative results and led to the underperformance compared to the index. Fossil fuel companies outperformed other segments and the portfolio’s underweight position detracted from performance. The allocation to clean energy stocks also detracted, as these stocks posted losses and are not part of the benchmark.
The Fund outperformed in the industrial metals segment. Copper and lithium producers, which together make up over 10% of the portfolio, posted strong gains during the year. Diversified metals performed in line with the benchmark and had little impact.
Holdings in agriculture posted gains that did not keep pace with the other segments. The Fund’s overweight detracted from performance.
The views expressed herein are exclusively those of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC as of the date of this report and are subject to change. GMO disclaims any responsibility to update such views. They are not meant as investment advice. References to specific securities are not recommendations of such securities and may not be representative of any GMO portfolio’s current or future investments. All information is unaudited.

GMO Tax-Managed International Equities Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Asset Allocation team and the Global Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although the Fund is not managed relative to any securities market index or benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index is included for comparative purposes.
Class III shares of GMO Tax-Managed International Equities Fund returned +4.77% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +2.83% for the MSCI EAFE Index.
The environment saw a shift to tailwinds for Value, with strong performance from our valuation-oriented models. The magnitude of the favorable conditions for Value is illustrated by the 3.5% outperformance of the MSCI EAFE Value Index when compared to the MSCI EAFE Index for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022.
Areas of notable positive stock selection included areas which had been challenging in the prior year such as emerging markets, the Netherlands, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care. Stock selection was also strong in Japan and Communication Services. Top contributors included overweight positioning in Norsk Hydro (Norway Materials), British American Tobacco (UK Consumer Staples), DBS Group (Singapore Financials), and Mercedes-Benz Group (Germany Consumer Discretionary). Underweight positioning toward SoftBank Group (Japan Communication Services) also added value.
The UK, Australia, and Italy were challenging areas for stock selection, along with value lost from names not held and underweight positioning toward Energy. Top detractors included underweight positioning in Nestle (Switzerland Consumer Staples), Royal Dutch Shell (UK Energy), and Novo Nordisk (Denmark Health Care). Overweights toward Fortescue Metals (Australia Materials) and WH Group (Hong Kong Consumer Staples) also detracted from performance.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results.

Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited.

For Class III the gross expense ratio of 1.27% is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Class listed above, the net expense ratio of 0.73% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO U.S. Equity Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Global Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although the Fund is not managed relative to any securities market index or benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Index is included for comparative purposes.
Class III shares of GMO U.S. Equity Fund returned +15.80% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +15.54% for the S&P Composite 1500 Index.
The Fund outperformed the S&P Composite 1500 Index in a year where Value outperformed modestly, as reflected in the +0.3% outperformance of the S&P 1500 Composite Value Index when compared to the S&P Composite 1500 Index. In this period the performance of valuation-oriented models was mixed, with higher quality names underperforming the broader market. Stock selection was helped by other model groups, including Cross-Asset signals and Corporate Alerts.
Stock selection in Health Care and Information Technology were notable areas of strength. Top contributors included overweight positioning in Pfizer (Health Care) and Kroger (Consumer Staples). Underweight positioning toward PayPal (Information Technology), Walt Disney Company (Communication Services), and Amazon (Consumer Discretionary) also added value.
Likewise, top stock detractors included a mix of companies held underweight and overweight. Underweight positions among the top detractors included NVIDIA (Information Technology), Alphabet (Communication Services), and Apple (Information Technology). Overweight positioning toward attractively valued names including Philip Morris (Consumer Staples) and Activision Blizzard (Communication Services) also detracted from relative performance.
Sector allocation also detracted, primarily from underweight positioning toward Energy.

GMO U.S. Small Cap Value Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Global Equity team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class VI shares of GMO U.S. Small Cap Value Fund returned +13.21% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +8.87% for the S&P SmallCap 600 Value Index.
During the year the performance of valuation-oriented models was mixed, with higher quality names underperforming the broader market. Stock selection was helped by other model groups, including Growth, Cross-Asset signals, and Corporate Alerts.
Stock selection was strong across a range of sectors including Financials, Health Care, Real Estate, Communication Services, Industrials, and Information Technology. Top contributors included overweight positioning toward SM Energy Company (Energy), Newmark Group (Real Estate), Penske Automotive Group (Consumer Discretionary), and IDT Corporation (Communication Services).
Top detractors included overweight positioning toward attractively valued names Sleep Number (Consumer Discretionary), Hyster-Yale Materials Handling (Industrials), Xerox (Information Technology), and Schweitzer-Mauduit International (Materials).
Sector allocation also detracted, primarily from underweight positioning toward Energy.

Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com.

For Class VI the gross expense ratio of 0.41% is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Class listed above, the net expense ratio of 0.41% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

Each of Climate Change Fund, Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund, Emerging Markets ex-China Fund (commenced operations on October 18, 2021), Emerging Markets Fund, International Equity Fund, Japan Value Creation Fund, Quality Cyclicals Fund (formerly Cyclical Focus Fund), Quality Fund, Resources Fund, Tax-Managed International Equities Fund, U.S. Equity Fund and U.S. Small Cap Value Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is a series of GMO Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June 24, 1985. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees of the Trust (“Trustees”) to create an unlimited number of series of shares (Funds) and to subdivide Funds into classes. The Funds are advised and managed by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”).
The Funds may invest in GMO U.S. Treasury Fund and in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO. The Funds may also invest in other GMO Funds (“underlying funds”). The financial statements of the underlying funds should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements. The financial statements are available without charge on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov or on GMO’s website at www.gmo.com.

2. | Significant accounting policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently followed by the Funds in preparing these financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Portfolio valuation
Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event GMO deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within that range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Cleared derivatives are valued using the price quoted (which may be

based on a model) by the relevant clearing house. If an updated quote for a cleared derivative is not available when a Fund calculates its net asset value, the derivative will generally be valued using an industry standard model, which may differ from the model used by the relevant clearing house. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are generally valued at the price determined by an industry standard model. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price. Shares of the underlying funds and other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their most recent net asset value.
The foregoing valuation methodologies are modified for equities that trade in non-U.S. securities markets that close before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for those derivatives closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the price will generally be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE)) are classified as Level 2 (levels defined below).
Typically, the Funds and the underlying funds value fixed income securities at the most recent price supplied by a pricing source determined by GMO. GMO evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis and may change a pricing source at any time. GMO monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another source) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable. Alternative pricing sources are often but not always available for securities held by the Funds and the underlying funds.
“Quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If a market quotation for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, the “quoted price” may be the price provided by a market participant or other third-party pricing source in accordance with the market practice for that security. If an updated quoted price for a security is not available when a Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund will generally use the last quoted price so long as GMO believes that the last quoted price continues to represent that security’s fair value.
In the case of derivatives, prices determined by a model may reflect an estimate of the average of bid and ask prices, regardless of whether a Fund has a long position or a short position.
If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing valuation methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the price determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. The Funds and/or the underlying funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the year ended February 28, 2022, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their OTC derivatives contracts, if any, based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties.
See Note 4 “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.
U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to the liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities; certain U.S. government obligations; derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options); and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include cleared derivatives and certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency contracts valued using industry standard models; certain restricted securities valued at the most recent available market or quoted price; certain securities that are valued at the local price; and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.
Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to, securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange valued at the most recent available market or quoted price; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation valued at the most recent available market or quoted price; certain equity securities valued based on the last traded exchange price adjusted for the movement in a relevant index and/or a security type conversion discount; certain securities that are valued using a price from a comparable security related to the same issuer; and certain recently acquired equity securities that have yet to begin trading that are valued at cost.
The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of February 28, 2022:

| § | Represents the interest in securities that were determined to have a value of zero at February 28, 2022. |
The underlying funds held at year end are classified above as Level 1. Certain underlying funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees or which may have been valued using significant unobservable inputs. For a summary of the levels assigned to the underlying funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, please refer to the underlying funds��� Notes to Financial Statements which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on GMO’s website at www.gmo.com.
U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets). Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund, Emerging Markets ex-China Fund and Emerging Markets Fund Level 3 holdings includes common stocks that are valued based on a U.S. incorporated exchange-traded fund tracking publicly traded companies that are domiciled in Russia. Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund’s Level 3 holdings also include one common stock that was purchased prior to the initial public offering (“IPO”) that is restricted from trading until March 22, 2022 and is being valued based on the post-IPO shares trading in the market. Resources Fund Level 3 holdings include a common stock that is valued off the U.S. dollar denominated line of the same security, converted to euros.

Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Rights and warrants
The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” in Note 4 “Derivative financial instruments”. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Securities lending
The Funds may make secured loans of their portfolio securities amounting to not more than one-third of their total assets. Securities loans are required to be collateralized by cash or securities in an amount equal to the securities loaned (marked to market daily). Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the following business day. Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation for lending their securities and/or net investment income earned on the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and fees paid to the lending agent. Cash collateral received is generally invested in GMO U.S. Treasury Fund. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Funds’ lending agent.
A Fund that lends its portfolio securities bears the risk of delay in the recovery of loaned securities, including possible impairment of the Fund’s ability to vote the securities, the inability to invest proceeds from the sales of such securities and of loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. A Fund also bears the risk that the value of investments made with collateral may decline and bears the risk of total loss with respect to the investment of collateral.
At February 28, 2022, securities on loan at value and collateral from securities on loan are listed below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| * | Non-cash collateral is comprised of U.S. Treasuries and Agencies. The Fund cannot repledge non-cash collateral; therefore, they are excluded from the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
| ** | While collateral for securities loans is marked to market daily, there may be instances where, as a result of market movement or other factors, the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day. In such cases, the borrower is required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral, so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. |
Information regarding the value of the securities loaned and the value of cash collateral at year end is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Taxes and distributions
Each Fund has elected to be treated or intends to elect to be treated and intends to qualify each tax year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Fund intends to distribute its net investment income, if any, and its net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, after giving effect to any available capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, each Fund makes no provision for U.S. federal income or excise taxes.
The policy of each Fund is to declare and pay dividends of its net investment income, if any, at least annually, although the Funds are permitted to, and will from time to time, declare and pay dividends of net investment income, if any, more frequently. Each Fund also intends to distribute net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, at least annually. In addition, each Fund may, from time to time at their discretion, make unscheduled distributions in advance of large redemptions by shareholders or as otherwise deemed appropriate by a Fund. Typically, all distributions are reinvested in additional shares of each Fund at net asset value, unless GMO or its agents receive and process a shareholder election to receive cash distributions. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date.
Taxes on foreign interest and dividend income are generally withheld in accordance with the applicable country’s tax treaty with the United States. The foreign withholding rates applicable to a Fund’s investments in certain jurisdictions may be higher if a significant portion of the Fund is held by non-U.S. shareholders.
As a result of court cases involving several countries across the European Union, certain Funds have filed tax reclaims in addition to treaty-based claims, in respect of previously withheld taxes on dividends earned (“EU tax reclaims”). These filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by each local jurisdiction’s tax authority, as well as judicial proceedings. EU tax reclaim and
GMO Trust Funds

associated interest entitlements that have been recognized, if any, are reflected as Other income in the Statements of Operations. As a result of its entitlements to EU tax reclaims and related interest amounts, a Fund may incur contingent legal fees. Such fees are presented within Legal fees in the Statements of Operations. Related receivables, if any, are reflected as EU tax reclaims receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, unless GMO believes that recovery amounts are collectible and free from significant contingencies, recoveries will not be reflected in a Fund’s net asset value. EU tax reclaims and related interest entitlements recognized by a Fund, if any, reduce the amount of foreign taxes, if any, that a Fund may elect to pass-through to its shareholders from a U.S. federal tax perspective. In certain circumstances and to the extent that EU tax reclaims recognized by a Fund were previously passed-through as foreign tax credits to its U.S. taxable shareholders, a Fund may enter into a closing agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Doing so will enable a Fund to quantify and remit its tax liability related to any recoveries (on behalf of its shareholders). Based on current guidance from the IRS, it is expected that International Equity Fund and Tax-Managed International Equities Fund will enter into a closing agreement with the IRS. Accordingly, estimated charges related to International Equity Fund and Tax-Managed International Equities Fund’s closing agreement liabilities are presented as a reduction of Other income in the Statements of Operations and their estimated closing agreement liabilities are presented as Payable for IRS closing agreement fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund may be subject to taxation on realized capital gains, repatriation proceeds and other transaction-based charges imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount. Taxes related to capital gains realized during the year ended February 28, 2022, if any, are reflected as part of Net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Changes in tax liabilities related to capital gain taxes on unrealized investment gains, if any, are reflected as part of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations.
Foreign taxes paid by each Fund may be treated, to the extent permissible by the Code (and other applicable U.S. federal tax guidance) and if that Fund so elects, as if paid by U.S. shareholders of that Fund.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences that arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will likely reverse at some time in the future.
Differences in distributable earnings on a U.S. GAAP and tax accounting basis primarily relate to the following:

The Funds are subject to authoritative guidance related to the accounting and disclosure of uncertain tax positions under U.S. GAAP. A Fund may recognize an income tax liability related to an uncertain tax position under U.S. GAAP when the uncertain tax position has a less than 50% probability that it would be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities, based on technical merits. United States and non-U.S. tax rules (including the interpretation and application of tax laws) are subject to change. The Funds file tax returns and/or adopt certain tax positions in various jurisdictions. Non-U.S. taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the prevailing tax rules of the non-U.S. markets in which they invest. Recently enacted tax rules, including interpretations of tax laws and tax legislation/initiatives currently under consideration in various jurisdictions, including the U.S., might affect the way the Funds and their investors are taxed prospectively and/or retroactively. Prior to the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, if any, the Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to the tax returns they have filed and the tax positions they have adopted. The Funds’ U.S. federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction. As of February 28, 2022, each Fund has determined that no tax liability is required to be accrued in its financial statements related to uncertain tax positions for any tax years which are subject to examination.
Security transactions and related investment income
Security transactions are accounted for in the financial statements on trade date. For purposes of daily net asset value calculations, the Funds’ policy is that security transactions are generally accounted for on the following business day. GMO may override that policy and a Fund may account for security transactions on trade date if it experiences significant purchases or redemptions or engages in significant portfolio transactions. Dividend income, net of applicable foreign withholding taxes, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, if later, when a Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions from underlying funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and is adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Principal on inflation-indexed securities is adjusted for inflation/deflation and any increase or decrease is recorded as interest income or investment loss. Coupon income is not recognized on securities for which collection is not expected. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, if any, are recorded as
GMO Trust Funds

components of interest income in the Statements of Operations. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the Funds use the identified cost basis.
Expenses and class allocations
Most of the expenses of the Trust are directly attributable to an individual Fund. Generally, common expenses are allocated among the Funds based on, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the Funds. Investment income, common expenses, purchase premiums and redemption fees, if any, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes of shares of the Funds, if applicable, based on the relative net assets of each class. Shareholder service fees, if any, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class’s operations. In addition, the Funds may incur fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder in the underlying funds. Because the underlying funds have different expense and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses indirectly incurred by a Fund will vary (see Note 5).
Custodian, Fund Accounting Agent and Transfer Agent
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the Funds’ custodian, fund accounting agent and transfer agent. Prior to November 3, 2017, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. served as the Funds’ custodian and fund accounting agent except for Climate Change Fund, Japan Value Creation Fund, Quality Cyclicals Fund (formerly Cyclical Focus Fund), Quality Fund and U.S. Equity Fund. Cash balances maintained at the custodian and transfer agent are held in a Demand Deposit Account and interest income earned, if any, is shown as interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Purchases and redemptions of Fund shares
Purchase premiums and redemption fees (if applicable) are paid to and retained by a Fund to help offset estimated portfolio transaction costs and other related costs (e.g., bid to ask spreads, stamp duties, and transfer fees) incurred by the Fund directly or indirectly (e.g., through investments in underlying funds) as a result of an investor’s purchase or redemption by allocating estimated transaction costs to the purchasing or redeeming shareholder. Such fees are recorded as a component of the Funds’ net share transactions. A Fund may impose a new purchase premium and redemption fee or increase or decrease an existing fee at any time.
Purchase premiums are not charged on reinvestments of dividends or other distributions. Redemption fees apply to all shares of a Fund regardless of how the shares were acquired (e.g., by direct purchase or by reinvestment of dividends or other distributions).
If GMO determines that any portion of a cash purchase or redemption, as applicable, is offset by a corresponding cash redemption or purchase occurring on the same day, it ordinarily will waive or reduce the purchase premium or redemption fee with respect to that portion.
GMO also may waive or reduce the purchase premium or redemption fee for a purchase or redemption of a Fund’s shares if the Fund will not incur transaction costs or will incur reduced transaction costs.
For example, GMO may reduce the purchase premium to the extent that securities are used to purchase a Fund’s shares (taking into account transaction costs, stamp duties or transfer fees), and GMO may reduce redemption fees to the extent a Fund uses portfolio securities to redeem its shares (taking into account transaction costs, stamp duties or transfer fees).

As of February 28, 2022, none of the Funds charge a purchase premium or redemption fee. Historical information on purchase premiums and redemption fees are provided in the table below.
| | |
Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund | | For the period from December 1, 2018 to November 22, 2019, the premium on cash purchases and the fee on cash redemptions were each 0.40% of the amount invested or redeemed. Prior to December 1, 2018, the premium on cash purchases and the fee on cash redemptions were each 0.80% of the amount invested or redeemed. |
Emerging Markets Fund | | For the period from December 1, 2018 to November 22, 2019, the premium on cash purchases and the fee on cash redemptions were each 0.40% of the amount invested or redeemed. Prior to December 1, 2018, the premium on cash purchases and the fee on cash redemptions were each 0.80% of the amount invested or redeemed. |
Resources Fund | | Prior to March 9, 2020, the premium on cash purchases and the fee on cash redemptions were each 0.30% of the amount invested or redeemed. |
Other matters — Emerging Markets Fund (“EMF”)
Indian regulators alleged in 2002 that EMF violated some conditions under which it was granted permission to operate in India and have restricted some of EMF’s locally held assets pending resolution of the dispute. Although these locally held assets remain the property of EMF, a portion of the assets are not permitted to be withdrawn from EMF’s local custodial account located in India. The amount of restricted assets is small relative to the size of EMF, representing approximately 0.18% of the Fund’s total net assets as of February 28, 2022, though in recognition of the potential liability, a portion of that amount is included as a Miscellaneous payable within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The effect of this claim on the value of the restricted assets, and all matters relating to EMF’s response to these allegations, are subject to the supervision and control of GMO Trust’s Board of Trustees. Any costs in respect of this matter will be borne by EMF.
Recently-issued accounting guidance
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments in the ASU provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. The Investment Adviser does not expect ASU No. 2020-04 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies GMO employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for more information regarding the risks of investing in the Funds.
Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds or other investment companies (collectively, “Underlying Funds”) is exposed to the risks to which the Underlying Funds in which it invests are exposed, as well as the risk that the Underlying Funds will not perform as expected. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and indirect risks, and references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund as a result of its investment in Underlying Funds.
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
• MARKET RISK — EQUITIES. The market price of an equity may decline due to factors affecting the issuer or its industry or the economy and equity markets generally. Equities that are characterized as relatively cyclical often are especially sensitive to economic cycles, which means they typically underperform non-cyclical equities during economic downturns. Cyclical equities may include investments in companies in any industry, including industries generally thought of as cyclical (e.g., consumer discretionary, financials, energy, real estate, materials and industrials) and industries not typically viewed as cyclical (e.g., healthcare, technology). If a Fund purchases an equity for less than its fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value as assessed by GMO and GMO’s assessment proves to be incorrect, the Fund runs the risk that the market price of the equity will not appreciate or will decline. A Fund also may purchase equities that typically trade at higher multiples of current earnings than other securities, and the market prices of these equities often are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than the market prices of equities trading at lower multiples. Declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset value of the Fund’s shares.
• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. Each Fund runs the risk that GMO’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results. For many Funds, GMO uses quantitative models as part of its investment process. GMO’s models may not accurately predict future market movements. In addition, GMO’s models rely on assumptions and data that are subject to limitations (e.g., inaccuracies, staleness) that could adversely affect their predictive value. The Funds also run the risk that GMO’s assessment of an investment (including a security’s fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value) is wrong or that deficiencies in GMO’s or another service provider’s internal systems or controls will cause losses for the Funds or impair Fund operations.
• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. The market prices of many non-U.S. securities (particularly of companies tied economically to emerging countries) fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. Many non-U.S. securities markets (particularly emerging markets) are less stable, smaller, less liquid, and less regulated than U.S. securities markets, and the cost of trading in those markets often is higher than in U.S. securities markets. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities (particularly those tied economically to emerging countries) often are not subject to as much regulation as U.S. issuers, and the reporting, recordkeeping, accounting, custody, and auditing standards to which those issuers are subject often are not as rigorous as U.S. standards. In addition, a Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxes, potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends, interest, or other amounts it realizes or accrues in respect of non-U.S. investments; (ii) transactions in those investments; and (iii) repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale or other disposition of those investments. Also, the Funds need a license to invest directly in securities traded in many non-U.S. securities markets, and a Fund is subject to the risk that it could not invest if its license were terminated or suspended. In some non-U.S. securities markets, prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks. Further, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls could adversely affect the value of a Fund’s investments. These and other risks (e.g., nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation of assets of non-U.S. issuers, limitations on, or difficulties enforcing, legal judgments, contractual rights, or other remedies) tend to be greater for investments in the securities of companies tied economically to emerging countries. The economies of emerging countries often depend predominantly on only a few industries or revenues from particular commodities, and often are more volatile than the economies of developed countries.
• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Investments focused in asset classes, countries, regions, sectors, industries, currencies or issuers (or in sectors within a country or region) that are subject to the same or similar risk factors and investments whose prices are closely correlated are subject to greater overall risk than investments that are more diversified or whose prices are not as closely correlated. A Fund that invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers has greater exposure to a decline in the market price of a particular security held by the Fund than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.
• CURRENCY RISK. Fluctuations in exchange rates can adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currencies.
• COMMODITIES RISK. Commodity prices can be extremely volatile, and exposure to commodities can cause the value of a Fund’s shares to decline or fluctuate in a rapid and unpredictable manner.
• ILLIQUIDITY RISK. Low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions may limit or prevent a Fund from selling particular securities or closing derivative positions at desirable prices.

February 28, 2022
• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. Geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, pandemics, sanctions, terrorism) may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Those events, as well as other changes in non-U.S. and U.S. economic and political conditions, could exacerbate other risks or otherwise reduce the value of the Funds’ investments.
In late February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine. Following such invasion, the United States, the European Union, and other countries and entities imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia, the President of Russia and other members of the Government of Russia as well as entities owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, the Government of Russia. The Government of Russia has also imposed countersanctions and taken other actions in response to the sanctions. The scope and scale of the sanctions may be expanded and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may further deteriorate. These sanctions and current environment could impair the ability of the Funds to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain securities and other instruments. The full impact of the sanctions and the conflict on the Funds, the financial markets and the global economy is not yet known.
• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, lack the competitive strength of larger companies, have less experienced managers or depend on a few key employees. The securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations.
• DERIVATIVES AND SHORT SALES RISK. The use of derivatives involves the risk that their value may not change as expected relative to changes in the value of the underlying assets, pools of assets, rates, currencies or indices. Derivatives also present other risks, including market risk, illiquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk, and counterparty risk. The market price of an option is affected by many factors, including changes in the market prices or dividend rates of underlying securities (or in the case of indices, the securities in such indices); the time remaining before expiration; changes in interest rates or exchange rates; and changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the relevant stock market and underlying securities. A Fund may create short investment exposure by taking a derivative position in which the value of the derivative moves in the opposite direction from the price of an underlying asset, pool of assets, rate, currency or index. The risks of loss associated with derivatives that provide short investment exposure and short sales of securities are theoretically unlimited.
• COUNTERPARTY RISK. A Fund runs the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives contract, a clearing member used by the Fund to hold a cleared derivatives contract, or a borrower of the Fund’s securities is unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments, return the Fund’s margin or otherwise honor its obligations.
• FUND OF FUNDS RISK. A Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds in which it invests (including ETFs), including the risk that those underlying funds will not perform as expected. Because a Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests, the increase in fees and expenses of an underlying fund or a reallocation of the Fund’s investments to underlying funds with higher fees or expenses will increase the Fund’s total expenses.
• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of derivatives and securities lending creates leverage. Leverage increases a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. In addition, a Fund’s portfolio will be leveraged if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption, and losses will result if the value of the Fund’s assets declines between the time a redemption request is deemed to be received by a Fund and the time the Fund liquidates assets to meet that request.
• MARKET RISK – FIXED INCOME. The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to market-related factors, including rising interest rates and widening credit spreads, or decreased liquidity due, for example, to market uncertainty about the value of a fixed income investment (or class of fixed income investments).
• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will require the Fund to sell securities at disadvantageous prices, disrupt the Fund’s operations, or force the Fund’s liquidation.
• CREDIT RISK. A Fund runs the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment or the obligors of obligations underlying an asset-backed security will be unable or unwilling to satisfy their obligations to pay principal and interest or otherwise to honor their obligations in a timely manner. The market price of a fixed income investment will normally decline as a result of the failure of an issuer, guarantor, or obligor to meet its payment obligations or in anticipation of such failure.

investments have speculative characteristics, and negative changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to impair the ability of issuers of those investments to make principal and interest payments than issuers of investment grade investments.
• EVENT-DRIVEN RISK. If a Fund purchases securities in anticipation of a proposed merger, acquisition, exchange offer, tender offer, or other similar transaction and that transaction later appears likely to be delayed or unlikely to be consummated or, in fact, is not consummated or is delayed, the market price of the securities purchased by the Fund may decline sharply, resulting in losses to the Fund. The risk/reward payout of event-driven strategies (such as merger arbitrage) typically is asymmetric, with the losses in failed transactions often far exceeding the gains in successful transactions. Event-driven strategies are subject to the risk of overall market movements, and a Fund may experience losses even if a transaction is consummated. A Fund’s investments in derivatives or short sales of securities to hedge or otherwise adjust investment exposure in connection with an event-driven transaction may not perform as expected or may otherwise reduce the Fund’s gains or increase its losses.
• NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. The following Funds are non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act and therefore a decline in the market price of a particular security held by the Funds may affect the Funds’ performance more than if the Funds were a diversified investment company.

4. | Derivative financial instruments |
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices that are used to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of a Fund’s portfolio. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap contracts, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.
The Funds may use derivatives to gain long investment exposure to securities or other assets. For example, a Fund may use derivatives instead of investing directly in equity securities, including using equity derivatives to maintain equity exposure when it holds cash by “equitizing” its cash balances using futures contracts or other types of derivatives. The Funds also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap contracts and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.
The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). A Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that GMO believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.
The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of their investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices, and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if a Fund holds a large proportion of stocks of companies in a particular sector and GMO believes that stocks of companies in another sector will outperform those stocks, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). In adjusting its investment exposures, a Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust its currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currencies in which its equities are traded.
The Funds may use derivatives to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.
Each of the Funds may have investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e. the Fund may be leveraged).
A Fund’s foreign currency exposure may differ significantly from the currencies in which its equities are traded.

February 28, 2022
Certain derivatives transactions that may be used by the Funds, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default index swaps, are required to be transacted through a central clearing organization. The Funds hold cleared derivatives transactions, if any, through clearing members, who are members of derivatives clearing houses. Certain other derivatives, including futures and certain options, are transacted on exchanges. The Funds hold exchange-traded derivatives through clearing brokers that are typically members of the exchanges. In contrast to bilateral derivatives transactions, following a period of advance notice to the Fund, clearing brokers generally can require termination of existing cleared or exchange-traded derivatives transactions at any time and increases in margin above the margin that it required at the beginning of a transaction. Clearing houses and exchanges also have broad rights to increase margin requirements for existing transactions and to terminate transactions. Any such increase or termination could interfere with the ability of a Fund to pursue its investment strategy. Also, a Fund is subject to execution risk if it enters into a derivatives transaction that is required to be cleared (or that GMO expects to be cleared), and no clearing member is willing or able to clear the transaction on the Fund’s behalf. In that case, the transaction might have to be terminated, and the Fund could lose some or all of the benefit of any increase in the value of the transaction after the time of the transaction.
The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investment and other risks” above for further information.
For Funds that held derivatives during the year ended February 28, 2022, the following table shows how the Fund used these derivatives (marked with an X):

Forward currency contracts
The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market price of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked-to-market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was settled.
These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose a Fund to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts
The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (and if the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin as recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Options
The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium, if any, which is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The Funds may write (i.e. sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
When an option contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
Swap contracts
The Funds may directly or indirectly use various swap contracts, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, total return swaps, interest rate swaps, basis swaps, currency swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps, municipal swaps, dividend swaps, volatility swaps, correlation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap contract is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap contract and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.
Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap contract are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap contract and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap contract is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. The periodic frequency of payments received may differ from periodic payment frequencies made and their frequencies could be monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually or at maturity.
Total return swap contracts involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or futures contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
Generally, the Funds price their OTC swap contracts daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors and record the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Gains or losses are realized upon the termination of the swap contracts or reset dates, as appropriate. Cleared swap contracts are valued using the quote (which may be based on a model) published by the relevant clearing house. If an updated quote for a cleared swap contract is not available by the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value on any business day, then that swap contract will generally be valued using an industry standard model, which may differ from the model used by the relevant clearing house.
The values assigned to swap contracts may differ significantly from the values realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap contracts involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the value assigned to the swap contract. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
***
As provided by U.S. GAAP, the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.

February 28, 2022
Certain Funds are party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements, Global Master Repurchase Agreements, Master Securities Loan Agreements or other similar types of agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) that generally govern the terms of OTC derivative transactions, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and securities loans. The Master Agreements may include collateral posting terms and set-off provisions that apply in the event of a default and/or termination event. Upon the occurrence of such an event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty, the Master Agreements may permit the non-defaulting party to calculate a single net payment to close out applicable transactions. However, there is no guarantee that the terms of a Master Agreement will be enforceable; for example, when bankruptcy or insolvency laws impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset. Additionally, the set-off and netting provisions of a Master Agreement may not extend to the obligations of the counterparty’s affiliates or across varying types of transactions. Because no such event has occurred, the Funds do not presently have a legally enforceable right of set-off and these amounts have not been offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, but have been presented separately in the table below. Termination events may also include a decline in the net assets of a Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and may entitle a counterparty to elect an early termination of all the transactions under the Master Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on a Fund’s operations. An estimate of the aggregate net payment, if any, that may need to be paid by a Fund (or may be received by a Fund) in such an event is represented by the Net Amounts in the tables below. For more information about other uncertainties and risks, see “Investments and other risks” above.
For financial reporting purposes, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities any cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds is reported as Due from broker and any cash collateral received from the counterparty is reported as Due to broker. Any non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds is noted in the Schedules of Investments. The tables below show the potential effect of netting arrangements made available by the Master Agreements on the financial position of the Funds. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally show derivative assets and derivative liabilities (regardless of whether they are subject to netting arrangements) on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures of the Fund prior to netting. See Note 2 for information on repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and securities loans held by the Funds at February 28, 2022, if any.
The average derivative activity of notional amounts (futures contracts and swap contracts), based on absolute values, at each month-end, was as follows for the year ended February 28, 2022:

In addition, each class of shares of certain Funds pays GMO directly or indirectly a shareholder service fee for providing client services and reporting, such as performance information, client account information, personal and electronic access to Fund information, access to analysis and explanations of Fund reports, and assistance in maintaining and correcting client-related information. Shareholder service fees are paid monthly at the annual rate equal to the percentage of each applicable Class’s average daily net assets set forth in the table below:

For each Fund, other than Climate Change Fund, Emerging Markets ex-China Fund, Resources Fund, and U.S. Small Cap Value Fund, GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for its “Specified Operating Expenses” (as defined below). For Climate Change Fund (prior to September 25, 2018), Resources Fund and U.S. Small Cap Value Fund, GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for the portion of its “Specified Operating Expenses” (as defined below) that exceeds 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Any such reimbursements are paid to a Fund concurrently with the Fund’s payment of management fees to GMO.
Subject to the exclusions noted below, “Specified Operating Expenses” means: audit expenses, fund accounting expenses, pricing service expenses, expenses of non-investment related tax services, transfer agency expenses (excluding, in the case of Class I shares, any amounts paid for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of Class I shareholders), expenses of non-investment related legal services provided to the Funds by or at the direction of GMO, organizational and start-up expenses, federal securities law filing expenses, printing expenses, state and federal registration fees and custody expenses. In the case of Emerging Markets Fund, “Specified Operating Expenses” does not include custody expenses, and in the case of Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund, “Specified Operating Expenses” only includes custody expenses to the extent that they exceed 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
For Resources Fund and U.S Small Cap Value Fund, GMO is permitted to recover from the Fund, on a class-by-class basis the “Specified Operating Expenses” GMO has borne or reimbursed (whether through reduction of its fees or otherwise) to the extent that the Funds’ “Specified Operating Expenses” later fall below the annualized rate of 0.10% per year or any lower expense limit in effect when GMO seeks to recover the expenses. A Fund, however, is not obligated to pay any such amount more than three years after GMO bore or reimbursed an expense. Any such recovery will not cause a Fund to exceed the annual limitation rate set forth above or any lower expense limit in effect when GMO seeks to recover the expenses.
With respect to Climate Change Fund (for the period starting September 25, 2018) and Emerging Markets ex-China Fund, GMO has contractually agreed to waive its fees with respect to and/or reimburse each Fund to the extent that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (after applying all other contractual and voluntary expense limitation arrangements in effect at the time) exceed the following amounts for each class of shares, in each case representing the average daily net assets for the indicated class of shares (each, an “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap for Climate Change Fund is 0.77% for Class III shares; 0.72% for Class IV shares; 0.705% for Class V shares; 0.675% for Class VI shares; 0.77% for Class R6 shares; and 0.77% for Class I shares. The Expense Cap
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

for Emerging Markets ex-China Fund is 0.85% for Class II shares; 0.80% for Class III shares; 0.75%for Class IV shares; 0.70% for Class V shares; 0.67% for Class VI shares; 0.85% for Class R6 shares; and 0.85% for Class I shares. Fees and expenses of the “non-interested” Trustees and legal counsel and independent compliance consultant to the “non-interested” Trustees, investment-related costs (such as brokerage commissions, interest, and acquired fund fees and expenses), payments out of assets attributable to Class I shares for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries, taxes, litigation and indemnification expenses, judgments, and other extraordinary or non-recurring expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business (“Excluded Expenses”), are excluded from the Expense Cap. GMO is permitted to recover from Emerging Markets ex-China Fund, on a class by class basis, expenses it has borne or reimbursed or reimbursed pursuant to an Expense Cap (whether through reduction of its fees or otherwise) to the extent that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (excluding Excluded Expenses) later fall below that Expense Cap or any lower expense limit in effect when GMO seeks to recover the expenses. The Fund, however, is not obligated to pay any such amount more than three years after GMO bore or reimbursed an expense. Any such recovery will not cause the Fund to exceed the Expense Caps set forth above or any lower expense limits as is in effect at the time GMO seeks to recover the expenses.
For the year ended February 28, 2022, GMO did not recoup any previously recorded waivers and/or reimbursements.
On February 28, 2022, the waivers and/or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | |
| | Expiring the year ending February 28, 2023 | | | Expiring the year ending February 29, 2024 | | | Expiring the year ending February 28, 2025 | |
Emerging Markets ex-China Fund, Class III | | | — | | | | — | | | | $1,152 | |
Emerging Markets ex-China Fund, Class VI | | | — | | | | — | | | | $240,690 | |
Emerging Markets ex-China Fund, Class I | | | — | | | | — | | | | $0 | * |
For each Fund that pays GMO a management fee and shareholder service fee, GMO has contractually agreed to waive or reduce the Fund’s management fee and shareholder service fee, to the extent necessary to offset the management fees and shareholder service fees paid to GMO that are directly or indirectly borne by the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund as a result of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in other series of GMO Trust (“GMO Funds”). Management fees and shareholder service fees will not be waived below zero.
In addition, for Emerging Markets Fund only, GMO has contractually agreed to waive the shareholder service fees charged to holders of each class of shares of the Fund to the extent necessary to prevent the shareholder service fees borne by each class of shares of the Fund from exceeding the percentage of the class’s average daily net assets as follows: 0.20% for Class II shares, 0.15% for Class III shares, 0.10% of Class IV shares, 0.05% for Class V shares, 0.02% for Class VI shares, 0.20% for Class R6 shares and 0.20% for Class I shares.
These contractual waivers and reimbursements will continue through at least June 30, 2022 for each Fund unless the Funds’ Board of Trustees authorizes their modification or termination or reduces the fee rates paid to GMO under the Fund’s management contract or servicing and supplemental support agreement.
GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse Class I assets of each Fund (or waive its fees) to the extent that payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries from Class I assets exceed 0.10% of such Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class I assets. Effective January 27 2020, GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse Class I assets for Emerging Markets Fund and Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund to the extent payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services from Class I assets exceed 0.05% and 0.03%, respectively, of such Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class I assets.
Sub-Transfer Agent/Recordkeeping Payments
Class II, III, IV, V, VI and R6 shares are not subject to payments to third parties for sub-transfer agent, recordkeeping and other administrative services. GMO may, on a case-by-case basis, make payments for sub-transfer agent, recordkeeping and other
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of shareholders of these classes. Any such payments are made by GMO out of its own resources and are not an additional charge to a Fund or the holders of Class II, III, IV, V, VI or Class R6 shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing a financial intermediary to recommend a Fund over another investment.
Class I shares are subject to payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of holders of Class I shares through an account maintained by a third party platform or intermediary. These services are not primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares but instead to provide ongoing services with respect to holders of Class I shares through a third-party platform or intermediary. Because payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services are paid out of a Fund’s Class I assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of an investment in Class I shares. In addition, GMO may, on a case-by-case basis, make payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries with respect to shareholders of Class I shares. Any such payments will be made by GMO out of its own resources and will not be an additional charge to a Fund or the holders of Class I shares. Any such payments will create a conflict of interest by influencing a financial intermediary to recommend a Fund over another investment.
The Funds’ portion of the fees paid by the Trust to the Trust’s independent Trustees and their legal counsel and any agents unaffiliated with GMO during the year ended February 28, 2022 is shown in the table below and is included in the Statements of Operations.

Certain Funds incur fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder in the underlying funds. For the year ended February 28, 2022, none of the Funds had annualized indirect fees and expenses greater than 0.01% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other GMO funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by a Fund from another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effectuated at the current market price. During the year ended February 28, 2022, the Funds did not engage in these transactions.

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, GMO is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.

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 February 28, 2022 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.

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement
February 28, 2022 (Unaudited)
GMO Emerging Markets Ex-China Fund
Approval of initial management agreement and sub-advisory agreement for GMO Emerging Markets ex-China Fund (the “Fund”). At a meeting on June 10, 2021, the Trustees of GMO Trust (the “Trust”) approved for an initial two-year term commencing June 30, 2021 the management agreement between Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and approved for an initial one-year term commencing June 30, 2021 the sub-advisory agreement among GMO, GMO Singapore Pte. Limited (“GMO Singapore”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund. In approving the initial management and sub-advisory agreements, the Trustees considered information they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them, to be relevant, including information relating specifically to the Fund as well as to the Trust generally and the other series of the Trust (collectively, the “GMO funds”).
At a meeting on June 10, 2021, the Trustees discussed materials provided by GMO for purposes of considering GMO’s proposal to establish the Fund as a new series of the Trust, a proposed management agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and GMO, and a proposed sub-advisory agreement among GMO, GMO Singapore and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund. During this meeting, the Trustees met with representatives from GMO’s Product Development Team and GMO’s Legal Group.
Since the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees were unable to consider its investment performance. The Trustees therefore considered the performance of the other GMO funds whose investments were managed by the investment division of GMO that would be managing the Fund’s investments.
The Trustees considered the Fund’s estimated expenses and estimated expense ratio (annual operating expenses per share as a percentage of average annual net asset value per share) as compared to the expense ratios of other funds in a peer group determined by GMO to have similar investment characteristics. In considering the Fund’s estimated expense ratio, the Trustees took into account GMO’s undertaking to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s operating expenses.
The Trustees also considered the fees to be paid to GMO under the Fund’s management and shareholder servicing and supplemental support agreements. The Trustees reviewed information provided by GMO comparing the management fee to be paid by the Fund to the management fee of a GMO fund with an investment strategy similar to that of the Fund and whose investments were managed by the investment division of GMO that would manage the Fund’s investments, as well as funds managed by other managers determined by GMO to have similar investment characteristics. The Trustees also reviewed information regarding the fees received by GMO for providing sub-investment advisory services to a third-party managed fund with an investment strategy similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees noted the differences in the services provided by GMO to the Fund and to the third-party fund, as well as the business and other risks borne by GMO in managing the Fund as compared to the risks borne by GMO in providing sub-investment advisory services to the third-party fund. The Trustees also considered the shareholder servicing fees to be charged by GMO to different share classes of the Fund in light of the services to be provided to each class by GMO. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the fee to be paid by GMO to GMO Singapore under the Fund’s sub-advisory agreement and considered the services that GMO Singapore would provide to the Fund. The Trustees noted that GMO Singapore’s sub-advisory fee would be paid by GMO out of GMO’s management fee and not directly by the Fund.
The Trustees also considered that the non-investment management services to be provided by GMO to the Fund, including but not limited to valuation, legal and compliance, accounting, operational, operational risk management, and technology services, were the same as the services provided by GMO under its current management agreements with other GMO funds. In addition, the Trustees observed that GMO had carried on its business during the COVID-19 pandemic without interruption and without a reduction in the quality of its services to the other GMO funds.
Since the Fund had not yet commenced operations, no information regarding GMO’s profitability with respect to the Fund was available to the Trustees. The Trustees did, however, consider information provided to them by GMO regarding its profits from managing the Trust overall. The Trustees also considered how the proposed fees compared to fees paid by other GMO funds and took note of “fallout benefits” realized by GMO that would result from its management of the Fund and the other GMO funds. As the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Trustees did not consider possible economies of scale to GMO associated with managing the Fund.
The Trustees also considered the experience and sophistication of GMO and its personnel (including, among others, management and investment-management personnel, and legal, compliance, and risk-management personnel), noting personnel changes made in the last few years. In addition, the Trustees considered the resources GMO would employ in managing the Fund, GMO’s organization, its reputation, its risk-management policies, and other aspects of GMO’s business relevant to the nature and quality of its services to be provided to the Fund.

Board Review of Investment Management Agreement — (Continued)
February 28, 2022 (Unaudited)
After reviewing these and other factors, the Trustees concluded, in the context of their overall review of the Fund’s initial management and sub-advisory agreements, that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided supported their approval of the Fund’s management and sub-advisory agreements and that the fees to be charged under those agreements were reasonable.
In their deliberations, the Trustees considered the factors they individually deemed relevant, with each Trustee weighting specific factors as that Trustee thought appropriate. Following their deliberations, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust voting separately, and then all Trustees voting together, approved the Fund’s initial management agreement and sub-advisory agreement.

Fund Expenses
February 28, 2022 (Unaudited)
Expense Examples: The following information is in relation to expenses for the six month period ended February 28, 2022.
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction cost, if applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including direct and/or indirect management fees, direct and/or indirect shareholder services 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.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, September 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022.
Actual Expenses
This section of the table for each class below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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, a $10,000,000 account value divided by $1,000 = 10,000), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section of the table for each class below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio 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 with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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. Therefore, this section 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.

Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO Asset Allocation Bond Fund returned +0.16% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with a +0.05% return for the FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill Index.
The Fund started the period predominantly invested in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). These had been preferred to nominal securities as we believed that they offered better valuations. For context, at the start of the period, the 10-year real yield was -0.71% and the 10-year nominal yield was 1.44%, leaving the break-even inflation measure at 2.15%.
The TIPS enjoyed solid absolute performance to start the period, strongly outperforming nominals, and this led us to reassess their relative valuations. Towards the end of April 2021, we switched the majority of the assets of the Fund from TIPS to nominal bonds. Again, for context, at the end of April 2021, the 10-year real yield had fallen modestly to -0.77% while the 10-year nominal yield had climbed meaningfully to 1.65%, leaving the break-even inflation measure at a more reasonable 2.42%.
Since the end of April 2021, nominal yields have continued to rise, and the 10-year nominal yield finished February 2022 at 1.83%. This led to negative performance of the nominal securities, offsetting much of the performance that had initially been generated by the TIPS.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
For Class III and VI the gross expense ratio of 0.49% and 0.40%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.41% and 0.32% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Emerging Country Debt team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund returned -7.83% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with -7.50% for the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified + (EMBIGD).
EMBIGD’s spread over U.S. Treasuries widened by 111 basis points to 470 basis points during the fiscal year, and the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond rose by 42 basis points to 1.83%.
The Fund had negative alpha from country selection during the fiscal year, driven by losses from overweights in Ukraine and Tunisia, and underweights in Qatar and China. Partly offsetting these losses, the Fund’s overweights in Ecuador, Oman, Mexico, and Belize, and underweight in Colombia contributed to alpha during the fiscal year.
In terms of security selection, gains from the choice of holdings in Ukraine drove positive alpha, followed by contributions from security selection in Tunisia, Ghana, Iraq, and Russia. Negative alpha from security selection in Brazil, Chile, and Bahrain partly offsets these gains. The Fund also had positive alpha from holding of bonds in off-benchmark countries, which we consider security selection. The most notable country in this category was the Republic of the Congo, followed by Israel, Chad, and Grenada, though negative alpha from Venezuela partly offset these gains. Within quasi-sovereign security selection, the portfolio had negative alpha from Chile, Ukraine, and Russia, while Israel and Indonesia were notable contributors to alpha.

Duration is based on GMO’s models. The greater the duration of a bond, the greater its contribution to the concentration percentage. Credit default swap exposures are factored into the duration adjusted exposure using a reference security and applying the same methodology to that security. |

^ | Buy Protection - Fund pays a premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs the Fund will, depending on the terms of the particular swap contract, either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| Sell Protection - Fund receives a premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs the Fund will, depending on the terms of the particular swap contract, either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(1) | As of February 28, 2022, implied credit spreads in absolute terms, calculated using a model, and utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts on the reference security, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap contract. |

GMO High Yield Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Structured Products team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class VI shares of GMO High Yield Fund returned +1.35% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +0.50% for the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index.
The Fund was invested in a mix of index portfolio products as well as cash high yield bonds. During the fiscal year, the Fund moved exposures between different products based on changes in the model’s alpha signals as well as other factors. Absolute performance was driven by high yield-based ETFs, short volatility overlay, and short-dated B–CCC bonds, which were top contributors for the period. Credit default swaps, BB-rated bonds, and fallen angel bonds (bonds originally issued as investment grade that have since been downgraded to below investment grade) also contributed positively during the period.
The views expressed herein are exclusively those of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC as of the date of this report and are subject to change. GMO disclaims any responsibility to update such views. They are not meant as investment advice. References to specific securities are not recommendations of such securities and may not be representative of any GMO portfolio’s current or future investments. All information is unaudited.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited.
For Class VI the gross expense ratio of 0.70% is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Class listed above, the net expense ratio of 0.70% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

^ | Buy Protection - Fund pays a premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs the Fund will, depending on the terms of the particular swap contract, either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| Sell Protection - Fund receives a premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs the Fund will, depending on the terms of the particular swap contract, either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(1) | As of February 28, 2022, implied credit spreads in absolute terms, calculated using a model, and utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts on the reference security, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap contract. |

GMO Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Developed Rates & FX team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund returned -3.74% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with -2.64% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index).
The Fund’s investment exposure was achieved through global interest rate and currency derivatives, as well as indirect (through ETFs and other GMO Funds, including GMO Opportunistic Income Fund, GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund, and GMO U.S. Treasury Fund) and direct fixed income investments.
Developed markets interest rate positioning contributed positively during the fiscal year. The Fund’s active duration positions in European and Canadian rates added value, while active exposure in U.S. duration dragged on returns. Slope positions (2-year vs. 10-year) in the UK and Sweden generated losses.
The Fund’s positions in developed market currencies produced negative alpha during the fiscal year. Exposure to Swedish krona and Swiss franc detracted from performance, while a position in Canadian dollar pared losses. Exposure to emerging market currencies resulted in negative contribution to performance. Positioning in EMEA was the primary driver of underperformance.
The Fund’s overweight positioning to off-benchmark securitized products added to relative returns, while an overweight to emerging country debt hurt the Fund during the year.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
For Class III and IV the gross expense ratio of 0.70% and 0.64%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.51% and 0.45% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

† | The table incorporates aggregate indirect asset class exposure associated with investments in other funds of GMO Trust (“underlying funds”). Derivative financial instruments, if any, are based on market values, rather than the notional amounts of derivatives, except for forward currency contracts which are based on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). |
‡ | The table incorporates aggregate indirect country exposure associated with investments in the underlying funds. The table is normalized to 100%, therefore the absolute exposure presented for each country may not be representative of the true exposure of the Fund. The table excludes short-term investments. The table includes exposure through the use of certain derivative financial instruments and excludes exposure through certain currency linked derivatives such as forward currency contracts and currency options. The table is based on duration adjusted net exposures (both investments and derivatives), taking into account the market value of securities and the notional amounts of swaps and other derivative financial instruments. Duration is based on GMO’s models. The greater the duration of a bond, the greater its contribution to the concentration percentage. Credit default swap exposures are factored into the duration adjusted exposure using the reference security and applying the same methodology to that security. |
* | “Other Emerging” is comprised of emerging countries that each represent between (1.0)% and 1.0% of Investments. |
¤ | “Other Developed” is comprised of developed countries that each represent between (1.0)% and 1.0% of Investments. |
§ | “Euro Region” is comprised of derivative financial instruments attributed to the Eurozone and not a particular country. |

GMO Opportunistic Income Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Structured Products team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although the Fund is not managed relative to any securities market index or benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the Bloomberg U.S. Securitized + Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Securitized + Index) * is included for comparative purposes.
Class VI shares of GMO Opportunistic Income Fund returned +1.00% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with -2.85% for the Bloomberg U.S. Securitized + Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Securitized + Index).
Absolute performance was driven by Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities and Student Loans, followed by gains from securitization related asset-backed products, such as Small Balance Commercial securities, and corporate debt markets, such as Collateralized Loan Obligations. Additionally, the Fund’s credit relative value hedge positions also contributed positively during the fiscal year. While not enough to fully offset gains, the Fund’s hedge positions in long interest-rate futures and credit hedge positions detracted during the fiscal year.
*The Bloomberg U.S. Securitized + Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Securitized + Index) is an internally maintained benchmark computed by GMO, comprised of the J.P. Morgan U.S. 3-Month Cash Index through 12/30/2016 and the Bloomberg U.S. Securitized: MBS, ABS, CMBS Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Securitized: MBS, ABS, CMBS Index) thereafter.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Transaction fees are retained by the Fund to cover trading costs. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
| ^ | Effective February 12, 2014, GMO Opportunistic Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) merged into GMO Short-Duration Collateral Fund and the surviving entity was renamed GMO Opportunistic Income Fund. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, the Acquired Fund is the surviving entity, meaning that the combined entity adopted the historical financial reporting and performance history of the Acquired Fund. The information shown prior to February 12, 2014 is that of the Acquired Fund and reflects the Acquired Fund’s performance. |
| * | For the period December 28, 2021 to February 1, 2022, no Class III shares were outstanding. Performance for that period is that of Class I shares, which have higher expenses. Therefore, the performance shown is lower than it would have been if Class III expenses had been applied throughout. |
| ** | The Bloomberg U.S. Securitized + Index is a composite benchmark computed by GMO and comprised of the J.P. Morgan U.S. 3 Month Cash Index through December 30, 2016 and the Bloomberg U.S. Securitized Index thereafter. |
| *** | Beginning December 21, 2015 the pricing source for certain fixed income assets of the Fund changed, which may have had a material impact on the Fund’s performance for the period shown. |
For J.P. Morgan disclaimers please visit https://www.gmo.com/north-america/benchmark-disclaimers/
For Class III, VI, R6 and I the gross expense ratio of 0.61%, 0.52%, 0.61% and 0.75%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.56%, 0.47%, 0.56%, and 0.68% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

^ | Buy Protection - Fund pays a premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs the Fund will, depending on the terms of the particular swap contract, either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| Sell Protection - Fund receives a premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs the Fund will, depending on the terms of the particular swap contract, either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(1) | As of February 28, 2022, implied credit spreads in absolute terms, calculated using a model, and utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts on the reference security, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap contract. |

Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Short Duration Strategies team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although the Fund is not managed relative to any securities market index or benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill Index is included for comparative purposes.
GMO U.S. Treasury Fund returned -0.37% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +0.05% for the FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill Index.
Security selection in U.S. Treasury Notes drove negative performance during the year, followed by losses from U.S. Treasury Bills. Positive contribution from security selection in Floating Rate Treasury Notes partly offset losses.
The views expressed herein are exclusively those of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC as of the date of this report and are subject to change. GMO disclaims any responsibility to update such views. They are not meant as investment advice. References to specific securities are not recommendations of such securities and may not be representative of any GMO portfolio’s current or future investments. All information is unaudited.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited.
The gross expense ratio of 0.11% is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. The corresponding net expense ratio of 0.08% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2022
Each of Asset Allocation Bond Fund, Emerging Country Debt Fund, High Yield Fund, Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund, Opportunistic Income Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is a series of GMO Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June 24, 1985. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees of the Trust (“Trustees”) to create an unlimited number of series of shares (Funds) and to subdivide Funds into classes. The Funds are advised and managed by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”).
The Funds may invest in GMO U.S. Treasury Fund and in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO.
Many of the Funds may invest without limitation in other GMO Funds (“underlying funds”). In particular, pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), some of the Funds may invest in Emerging Country Debt Fund, Opportunistic Income Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund. The financial statements of the underlying funds should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements. The financial statements are available without charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on GMO’s website at www.gmo.com.
The following table provides information about the Funds’ principal investment objectives and benchmarks (if any):
| | | | |
| | |
Fund Name | | Benchmark | | Investment Objective |
Asset Allocation Bond Fund | | FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill Index | | Total return in excess of benchmark |
Emerging Country Debt Fund | | J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified | | Total return in excess of benchmark |
High Yield Fund | | Markit iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index | | Total return in excess of benchmark |
Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund | | Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index | | Total return in excess of benchmark |
Opportunistic Income Fund | | Not Applicable | | Capital appreciation and current income |
U.S. Treasury Fund | | Not Applicable | | Liquidity and safety of principal with current income as a secondary objective |
Asset Allocation Bond Fund currently limits subscriptions.
2. | Significant accounting policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently followed by the Funds in preparing these financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Portfolio valuation
Typically, the Funds and the underlying funds value fixed income securities at the most recent price supplied by a pricing source determined by GMO. GMO evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis and may change a pricing source at any time. GMO monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another source) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable. Alternative pricing sources are often but not always available for securities held by the Funds and the underlying funds.
Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event GMO deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within that range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price

for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Cleared derivatives are valued using the price quoted (which may be based on a model) by the relevant clearing house. If an updated quote for a cleared derivative is not available when a Fund calculates its net asset value, the derivative will generally be valued using an industry standard model, which may differ from the model used by the relevant clearing house. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are generally valued at the price determined by an industry standard model. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price. Shares of the underlying funds and other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their most recent net asset value.
The foregoing valuation methodologies are modified for equities that trade in non-U.S. securities markets that close before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for those derivatives closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the price will generally be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE)) are classified as Level 2 (levels defined below).
“Quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If a market quotation for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, the “quoted price” may be the price provided by a market participant or other third-party pricing source in accordance with the market practice for that security. If an updated quoted price for a security is not available when a Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund will generally use the last quoted price so long as GMO believes that the last quoted price continues to represent that security’s fair value.
In the case of derivatives, prices determined by a model may reflect an estimate of the average of bid and ask prices, regardless of whether a Fund has a long position or a short position.
If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing valuation methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the price determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. The Funds and/or the underlying funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the year ended February 28, 2022, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their OTC derivatives contracts, if any, based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties. See Note 4 “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.
U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to the liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities; certain U.S. government obligations; derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options); and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).
Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include certain U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, certain sovereign debt obligations, and corporate bonds valued using vendor prices or broker quotes; cleared derivatives and certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency contracts

valued using industry standard models; certain restricted securities valued at the most recent available market or quoted price; certain debt obligations, such as collateralized loan obligations, that have yet to begin trading that are valued at cost; and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.
Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to, certain debt securities (such as asset-backed, mortgage-backed, loans and sovereign debt) and derivatives even though they may be valued using broker quotes; certain debt securities and derivatives adjusted by a specified discount for liquidity or other considerations; certain sovereign debt securities valued using comparable securities issued by the sovereign adjusted by a specified spread; securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange valued at the most recent available market or quoted price; certain investment funds valued at cost; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation valued at the most recent available market or quoted price and potential litigation recoveries and interests related to bankruptcy proceedings.
The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of February 28, 2022:

Emerging Country Debt Fund has committed an additional $7,850,000 to its investment in Bona Fide Investments Feeder LLC, a private investment in a pool of constitutional obligations of the Colombian government owed to individuals.
The underlying funds held at year end are classified above as Level 1. Certain underlying funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees or which may have been valued using significant unobservable inputs. For a summary of the levels assigned to the underlying funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, please refer to the underlying funds’ Notes to Financial Statements which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on GMO’s website at www.gmo.com.
U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets). Level 3 holdings include investments valued using unadjusted prices supplied by a third-party pricing source (e.g., broker quotes, vendor). Emerging Country Debt Fund’s Level 3 holdings also include the Republic of Albania Par Bond, due 8/31/25, which is valued by applying a 140 basis point spread to the yield of the U.S. Treasury Strip Principal, due 8/15/25, an investment fund valued at cost, two Colombia Government International Bonds, due 2/15/27 and 3/09/28, respectively, which are valued by applying a 150 and 160 basis point spread, respectively, to the yield of the Colombia Government International Bond, due 4/25/27, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad SA, due 2/01/97 which is valued based on the average of a selection of comparable bonds and applying a 200 basis point discount for liquidity considerations, a Meridiam Eastern Europe Investment S.à.r.l. Loan Agreement, due 6/23/28, which is valued by applying a 550 basis point spread to the yield of the Republic of Turkey, due 3/31/25 and a Republic of Kenya loan agreement, which is valued by applying 500 basis point yield spread to a comparable bond. Opportunistic Income Fund’s Level 3 holdings also consists of three U.S. Agency for International Development Floater Bonds which were valued using current LIBOR yield and adjusted by 125 basis points for liquidity considerations and five asset-backed securities that were valued in line with general movement of spreads, interest rates or a comparable bond. There were no other Funds with classes of investments or derivatives with direct material Level 3 holdings at February 28, 2022.

As of February 28, 2022, the value of these securities and/or derivatives for Emerging Country Debt Fund and Opportunistic Income Fund was $293,159,092 and $82,250 respectively. The inputs for these investments are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated. |
Cash
Cash and foreign currency, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities consist of cash balances held with the custodian.
Due to/from broker
Due to/from broker in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities includes collateral on swap contracts, futures contracts, option contracts and forward currency contracts, if any, and may include marked-to-market amounts related to foreign currency or cash owed.
Foreign currency translation
The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally at 4:00 pm Eastern time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Indexed investments
Each Fund may invest in various transactions and instruments that are designed to track the performance of an index (including, but not limited to, securities indices and credit default indices). Indexed securities are securities the redemption values and/or coupons of which are indexed to a specific instrument, group of instruments, index, or other statistic. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to other securities, securities or inflation indices, currencies, precious metals or other commodities, or other financial indicators. For example, the maturity value of gold-indexed securities depends on the price of gold and, therefore, their price tends to rise and fall with gold prices.
Loan assignments and participations
The Funds (except U.S. Treasury Fund) may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates, to suppliers of goods or services, or to other parties by corporate, governmental or other borrower. Such “loans” may include bank loans, promissory notes, and loan participations, or in the case of suppliers of goods or services, trade claims or other receivables. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness a Fund has direct recourse against the borrower, it may have to rely on the agent to enforce its rights against the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, (i) a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
party from whom the Fund has purchased the participation and only upon receipt by that party of payments from the borrower and (ii) a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to vote on matters arising under the loan agreement. Thus, a Fund may be subject to credit risk both of the party from whom it purchased the loan participation and the borrower and that Fund may have minimal control over the terms of any loan modification. Loan assignments and participations outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Rights and warrants
The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” in Note 4 “Derivative financial instruments”. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and brokers. Under a repurchase agreement a Fund acquires a security for a relatively short period for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of securities it acquired under the repurchase agreement. The value of the securities acquired may be less than the amount owed to the Fund by the seller. If the seller in a repurchase agreement transaction defaults or enters into insolvency proceedings and the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement is insufficient, the Fund’s recovery of cash from the seller may be delayed and, even if the Fund is able to dispose of the securities, the Fund may incur a loss equal to the difference between the cash it paid and the value of the securities. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund���s Schedule of Investments.
Reverse repurchase agreements
The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and brokers to enhance return. Under a reverse repurchase agreement a Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by that Fund to repurchase the same assets at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund can use the proceeds received from entering into a reverse repurchase agreement to make additional investments, which generally causes the Fund’s portfolio to behave as if it were leveraged. If the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result may realize a loss on the transaction if the securities it sold are worth more than the purchase price it originally received from the buyer. As of February 28, 2022, the Funds listed below had entered into reverse repurchase agreements.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Inflation-indexed bonds
The Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is adjusted periodically according to the rate of inflation/deflation. Two structures are common. The U.S. Treasury and some other issuers use a structure that accrues inflation/deflation into the principal value of the bond. Many other issuers adjust the coupon accruals for inflation related changes.
The market price of inflation-indexed bonds normally changes when real interest rates change. Real interest rates, in turn, are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates (i.e. stated interest rates) and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if the rate of inflation rises at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates (i.e. nominal interest rate minus inflation) might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Coupon payments received by a Fund from inflation-indexed bonds are generally included in the Fund’s gross income for the period in which they accrue. In addition, any increase/decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is generally included in the Fund’s gross income even though principal is not paid until maturity. Inflation-indexed bonds outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Delayed delivery commitments and when-issued securities
The Funds (except U.S. Treasury Fund) may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The purchase of when-issued or delayed delivery securities can cause a Fund’s portfolio to be leveraged. Investments in when-issued securities also present the risk that the security will not be issued or delivered. Delayed delivery commitments outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Short sales
Certain Funds may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells securities it may not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the securities. Securities sold in short sale transactions and the dividend and/or interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A Fund is obligated to deliver securities at the trade price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. Short sales outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Taxes and distributions
Each Fund has elected to be treated or intends to elect to be treated and intends to qualify each tax year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Fund intends to distribute its net investment income, if any, and its net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, after giving effect to any available capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, each Fund makes no provision for U.S. federal income or excise taxes.

With the exception of U.S. Treasury Fund, the policy of each Fund is to declare and pay dividends of its net investment income, if any, at least annually, although the Funds are permitted to, and will from time to time, declare and pay dividends of net investment income, if any, more frequently. The policy of U.S. Treasury Fund is to declare dividends daily, to the extent net investment income is available. U.S. Treasury Fund will generally pay dividends on the first business day following the end of each month in which dividends were declared. Accrued dividends in respect of a shareholder’s partial redemption of U.S. Treasury Fund shares redeemed between monthly payment dates will be paid on the first business day following the end of the month in which redemptions are made. Accrued dividends in respect of a shareholder’s complete redemption of U.S. Treasury Fund shares between monthly payment dates will be paid with the redemption proceeds. Each Fund also intends to distribute net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, at least annually. In addition, each Fund may, from time to time at their discretion, make unscheduled distributions in advance of large redemptions by shareholders or as otherwise deemed appropriate by a Fund. Typically, all distributions are reinvested in additional shares of each Fund, at net asset value, unless GMO or its agents receive and process a shareholder election to receive cash distributions. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date.
Taxes on foreign interest and dividend income are generally withheld in accordance with the applicable country’s tax treaty with the United States. The foreign withholding rates applicable to a Fund’s investments in certain jurisdictions may be higher if a significant portion of the Fund is held by non-U.S. shareholders. Each Fund may be subject to taxation on realized capital gains, repatriation proceeds and other transaction-based charges imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount. Taxes related to capital gains realized during the year ended February 28, 2022, if any, are reflected as part of Net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Changes in tax liabilities related to capital gain taxes on unrealized investment gains, if any, are reflected as part of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences that arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will likely reverse at some time in the future.

As of February 28, 2022, certain Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized gains, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code. Net capital losses are carried forward without expiration and generally retain their short-term and/or long-term tax character, as applicable. Utilization of the capital loss carryforwards, post-October capital losses, late-year ordinary losses, and losses realized subsequent to February 28, 2022, if any, could be subject to further limitations imposed by the Code related to share ownership activity.

The Funds are subject to authoritative guidance related to the accounting and disclosure of uncertain tax positions under U.S. GAAP. A Fund may recognize an income tax liability related to an uncertain tax position under U.S. GAAP when the uncertain tax position has a less than 50% probability that it would be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities, based on technical merits. United States and non-U.S. tax rules (including the interpretation and application of tax laws) are subject to change. The Funds file tax returns and/or adopt certain tax positions in various jurisdictions. Non-U.S. taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the prevailing tax rules of the non-U.S. markets in which they invest. Recently enacted tax rules, including interpretations of tax laws and tax legislation/initiatives currently under consideration in various jurisdictions, including the U.S., might affect the way the Funds and their investors are taxed prospectively and/or retroactively. Prior to the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, if any, the Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to the tax returns they have filed and the tax positions they have adopted. The Funds’ U.S. federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction. As of February 28, 2022, each Fund has determined that no tax liability is required to be accrued in its financial statements related to uncertain tax positions for any tax years which are subject to examination.
Security transactions and related investment income
Security transactions are accounted for in the financial statements on trade date. For purposes of daily net asset value calculations, the Funds’ policy is that security transactions are generally accounted for on the following business day. GMO may override that policy and a Fund may account for security transactions on trade date if it experiences significant purchases or redemptions or engages in significant portfolio transactions. Dividend income, net of applicable foreign withholding taxes, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, if later, when a Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions from underlying funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and is adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Principal on inflation-indexed securities is adjusted for inflation/deflation and any increase or decrease is recorded as interest income or investment loss. Coupon income is not recognized on securities for which collection is not expected. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, if any, are recorded as components of interest income in the Statements of Operations. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the Funds use the identified cost basis.
Expenses and class allocations
Most of the expenses of the Trust are directly attributable to an individual Fund. Generally, common expenses are allocated among the Funds based on, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the Funds. Investment income, common expenses, purchase premiums and redemption fees, if any, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes of shares of the Funds, if applicable, based on the relative net assets of each class. Shareholder service fees, if any, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class’s operations. In addition, the Funds may incur fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder in the underlying funds. Because the underlying funds have different expense and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses indirectly incurred by a Fund will vary (see Note 5).
Custodian, Fund Accounting Agent and Transfer Agent
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the Funds’ custodian, fund accounting agent and transfer agent. Cash balances maintained at the custodian and transfer agent are held in a Demand Deposit Account and interest income earned, if any, is shown as interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Purchases and redemptions of Fund shares
Purchase premiums and redemption fees (if applicable) are paid to and retained by a Fund to help offset estimated portfolio transaction costs and other related costs (e.g., bid to ask spreads, stamp duties, and transfer fees) incurred by the Fund directly or indirectly (e.g., through investments in underlying funds) as a result of an investor’s purchase or redemption by allocating estimated transaction costs to the purchasing or redeeming shareholder. Such fees are recorded as a component of the Funds’ net share transactions. A Fund may impose a new purchase premium and redemption fee or increase or decrease an existing fee at any time.
Purchase premiums are not charged on reinvestments of dividends or other distributions. Redemption fees apply to all shares of a Fund regardless of how the shares were acquired (e.g., by direct purchase or by reinvestment of dividends or other distributions).

If GMO determines that any portion of a cash purchase or redemption, as applicable, is offset by a corresponding cash redemption or purchase occurring on the same day, it ordinarily will waive or reduce the purchase premium or redemption fee with respect to that portion.
GMO also may waive or reduce the purchase premium or redemption fee for a purchase or redemption of a Fund’s shares if the Fund will not incur transaction costs or will incur reduced transaction costs.
For example, GMO may reduce the purchase premium to the extent that securities are used to purchase a Fund’s shares (taking into account transaction costs, stamp duties or transfer fees), and GMO may reduce redemption fees to the extent a Fund uses portfolio securities to redeem its shares (taking into account transaction costs, stamp duties or transfer fees).
As of February 28, 2022, the premium on cash purchases and the fee on cash redemptions were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | Asset Allocation Bond Fund | | Emerging Country Debt Fund(1) | | High Yield Fund | | Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund | | Opportunistic Income Fund(2) | | U.S. Treasury Fund |

| (2) | Prior to June 30, 2019, the premiums on purchases and the fee on redemptions were each 0.40% of the amount invested or redeemed. |
Recently-issued accounting guidance
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments in the ASU provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. The Investment Adviser does not expect ASU No. 2020-04 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies GMO employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for more information regarding the risks of investing in the Funds.
Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds or other investment companies (collectively, “Underlying Funds”) is exposed to the risks to which the Underlying Funds in which it invests are exposed, as well as the risk that the Underlying Funds will not perform as expected. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and indirect risks, and references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund as a result of its investment in Underlying Funds.
An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
• CREDIT RISK. A Fund runs the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment or the obligors of obligations underlying an asset-backed security will be unable or unwilling to satisfy their obligations to pay principal and interest or otherwise to
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
honor their obligations in a timely manner. The market price of a fixed income investment will normally decline as a result of the failure of an issuer, guarantor, or obligor to meet its payment obligations or in anticipation of such failure. In addition, investments in emerging country sovereign or quasi-sovereign debt involve a heightened risk that the issuer responsible for repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due, and the Fund may lack recourse against the issuer in the event of default. Investments in quasi-sovereign debt also are subject to the risk that the issuer will default independently of its sovereign. In addition, investments in emerging country sovereign or quasi-sovereign debt involve a heightened risk that the issuer responsible for repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due, and the Fund may lack recourse against the issuer in the event of default. Investments in quasi-sovereign debt also are subject to the risk that the issuer will default independently of its sovereign. Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury historically have presented minimal credit risk. However, events in 2011 led to a downgrade in the long-term credit rating of U.S. bonds by several major rating agencies and introduced greater uncertainty about the repayment by the United States of its obligations. A further credit rating downgrade could decrease, and a U.S. credit default would decrease, the value of a Fund’s investments and increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio. Below investment grade investments have speculative characteristics, and negative changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to impair the ability of issuers of those investments to make principal and interest payments than issuers of investment grade investments.
• MARKET RISK — FIXED INCOME. The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to market-related factors, including rising interest rates and widening credit spreads, or decreased liquidity due, for example, to market uncertainty about the value of a fixed income investment (or class of fixed income investments). In addition, the market prices of emerging country sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt investments can decline due to uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams.
• ILLIQUIDITY RISK. Low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size, or legal restrictions may limit or prevent a Fund from selling particular securities or closing derivative positions at desirable prices.
• DERIVATIVES AND SHORT SALES RISK. The use of derivatives involves the risk that their value may not change as expected relative to changes in the value of the underlying assets, pools of assets, rates, currencies or indices. Derivatives also present other risks, including market risk, illiquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk, and counterparty risk. The market price of an option is affected by many factors, including changes in the market prices or dividend rates of underlying securities (or in the case of indices, the securities in such indices); the time remaining before expiration; changes in interest rates or exchange rates; and changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the relevant stock market and underlying securities. A Fund may create short investment exposure by taking a derivative position in which the value of the derivative moves in the opposite direction from the price of an underlying asset, pool of assets, rate, currency or index. The risks of loss associated with derivatives that provide short investment exposure and short sales of securities are theoretically unlimited.
• MARKET RISK — ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. The market price of asset-backed securities, like that of other fixed income investments with complex structures, can decline for a variety of reasons, including market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. Payment streams associated with asset-backed securities held by a Fund depend on many factors (e.g., the cash flow generated by the assets backing the securities, deal structure, creditworthiness of any credit-support provider, and reliability of various other service providers with access to the payment stream), and a problem in any of these factors can lead to a reduction in the payment stream GMO expected a Fund to receive when the Fund purchased the asset-backed security. The liquidity of below investment grade asset-based and mortgage-backed securities (including non-agency and unregistered asset-backed securities) may change over time. During periods of deteriorating economic conditions, such as recessions or periods of rising unemployment, delinquencies and losses generally increase, sometimes dramatically, with respect to securitizations involving loans, sales contracts, receivables and other obligations underlying asset-backed securities. The effects of the COVID-19 virus, and governmental responses to the effects of the virus, may result in increased delinquencies and losses and have other, potentially unanticipated, adverse effects on such investments and the markets for those investments.
• COUNTERPARTY RISK. A Fund runs the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives contract, a clearing member used by the Fund to hold a cleared derivatives contract, or a borrower of the Fund’s securities is unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments, return the Fund’s margin or otherwise honor its obligations.
• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. A Fund runs the risk that GMO’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results. For many funds, GMO uses quantitative models as part of its investment process. GMO’s models may not accurately
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
predict future market movements. In addition, GMO’s models rely on assumptions and data that are subject to limitations (e.g., inaccuracies, staleness) that could adversely affect their predictive value. Those Fund also runs the risk that GMO’s assessment of an investment (including a security’s fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value) is wrong or that deficiencies in GMO’s or another service provider’s internal systems or controls will cause losses for the Fund or impair Fund operations.
• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Investments focused in asset classes, countries, regions, sectors, industries, currencies, or issuers that are subject to the same or similar risk factors and investments whose prices are closely correlated are subject to greater overall risk than investments that are more diversified or whose prices are not as closely correlated.
• FUTURES CONTRACTS RISK. The loss to a Fund resulting from its use of futures contracts is potentially unlimited. Futures markets are highly volatile, and the use of futures contracts increases the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value. A liquid secondary market may not exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time, and a Fund may be unable when it wishes to effect closing transactions to terminate its exposure under that contract. When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it runs the risk that changes in the prices of the contracts will not correlate perfectly with changes in the securities, index, or other asset underlying the contracts or movements in the prices of the Fund’s investments that are subject to the hedge. In addition, a Fund may be unable to recover or may be delayed in recovering margin or other amounts deposited with a futures commission merchant or futures clearinghouse. Foreign futures contracts are often less liquid and more volatile than U.S. futures contracts.
• CURRENCY RISK. Fluctuations in exchange rates can adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currencies.
• COMMODITIES RISK. Commodity prices can be extremely volatile, and exposure to commodities can cause the value of a Fund’s shares to decline or fluctuate in a rapid and unpredictable manner.
• FUND OF FUNDS RISK. A Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds (including underlying GMO Funds and ETFs) in which it invests, including the risk that those underlying funds will not perform as expected. Because a Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests, the increase in fees and expenses of an underlying fund or a reallocation of the Fund’s investments to underlying funds with higher fees or expenses will increase the Fund’s total expenses.
• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. The market prices of many non-U.S. securities (particularly of companies tied economically to emerging countries) fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. Many non-U.S. securities markets (particularly emerging markets) are less stable, smaller, less liquid, and less regulated than U.S. securities markets, and the cost of trading in those markets often is higher than in U.S. securities markets. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities (particularly those tied economically to emerging countries) often are not subject to as much regulation as U.S. issuers, and the reporting, recordkeeping, accounting, custody, and auditing standards to which those issuers are subject often are not as rigorous as U.S. standards. In addition, a Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxes, potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends, interest, or other amounts it realizes or accrues in respect of non-U.S. investments; (ii) transactions in those investments; and (iii) repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale or other disposition of those investments. Also, the Fund needs a license to invest directly in securities traded in many non-U.S. securities markets, and a Fund is subject to the risk that it could not invest if its license were terminated or suspended. In some non-U.S. securities markets, prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks. Further, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls could adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments. These and other risks (e.g., nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation of assets of non-U.S. issuers, limitations on, or difficulties enforcing, legal judgments, contractual rights, or other remedies) tend to be greater for investments in the securities of companies tied economically to emerging countries. The economies of emerging countries often depend predominantly on only a few industries or revenues from particular commodities, and often are more volatile than the economies of developed countries.
• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. Geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, pandemics, sanctions, terrorism) may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Those events, as well as other changes in non-U.S. and U.S. economic and political conditions, could exacerbate other risks or otherwise reduce the value of the Funds’ investments.
In late February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine. Following such invasion, the United States, the European Union, and other countries and entities imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia, the President of Russia and other members of the Government
GMO Trust Funds

of Russia as well as entities owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, the Government of Russia. The Government of Russia has also imposed countersanctions and taken other actions in response to the sanctions. The scope and scale of the sanctions may be expanded and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may further deteriorate. These sanctions and current environment could impair the ability of the Funds to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain securities and other instruments. The full impact of the sanctions and the conflict on the Funds, the financial markets and the global economy is not yet known.
• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of derivatives and securities lending creates leverage. Leverage increases a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. In addition, a Fund’s portfolio will be leveraged if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption, and losses will result if the value of the Fund’s assets declines between the time a redemption request is deemed to be received by a Fund and the time the Fund liquidates assets to meet that request
• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will require the Fund to sell securities at disadvantageous prices, disrupt the Fund’s operations, or force the Fund’s liquidation.
• MARKET RISK — EQUITIES. The market price of an equity may decline due to factors affecting the issuer or its industry or the economy and equity markets generally. If a Fund purchases an equity for less than its fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value as assessed by GMO and GMO’s assessment proves to be incorrect, the Fund runs the risk that the market price of the equity will not appreciate or will decline. A Fund also may purchase equities that typically trade at higher multiples of current earnings than other securities, and the market prices of these equities often are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than the market prices of equities trading at lower multiples. Declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset value of the Fund’s shares.
• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, lack the competitive strength of larger companies, have less experienced managers or depend on a few key employees. The securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations.
• NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. High Yield Fund and Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund are non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act and therefore a decline in the market price of a particular security held by the Funds may affect the Funds’ performance more than if the Funds were a diversified investment company.
4. | Derivative financial instruments |
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices that are used to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of a Fund’s portfolio. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap contracts, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.
The Funds may use derivatives to gain long investment exposure to securities or other assets. In particular, the Funds may use swaps, options, or other derivatives on an index, an ETF, a single security, or a basket of securities to gain investment exposures (e.g., by selling protection under a credit default swap). The Funds also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap contracts and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.
The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). For example, a Fund may use credit default swaps to take a short position with respect to the likelihood of default by an issuer or may use a bond futures contract to short the bond market of a particular country. A Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce (which may result in a reduction below zero) some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that GMO believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency. The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of their investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices, ETFs, and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For instance, GMO may alter the interest rate exposure of debt instruments by employing interest rate swaps. Such a strategy is designed to maintain the Fund’s exposure to the credit of an issuer through the debt instrument but adjust the Fund’s interest rate exposure through the swap. With these swaps, the Fund and its counterparties exchange interest rate exposure, such as fixed versus variable rates and shorter

duration versus longer duration exposure. In adjusting its investment exposures, a Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust its currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by its portfolio investments.
Each of the Funds is not limited in its use of derivatives or in the total notional value of its derivative positions. As a result of their derivative positions, a Fund may have gross investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e., the Fund may be leveraged) and therefore are subject to heightened risk of loss. Each Fund’s (other than U.S. Treasury Fund) performance can depend substantially, if not primarily, on the performance of assets or indices underlying its derivatives even though it does not own those assets or indices.
Certain derivatives transactions that may be used by the Funds, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default index swaps, are required to be transacted through a central clearing organization. The Funds hold cleared derivatives transactions, if any, through clearing members, who are members of derivatives clearing houses. Certain other derivatives, including futures and certain options, are transacted on exchanges. The Funds hold exchange-traded derivatives through clearing brokers that are typically members of the exchanges. In contrast to bilateral derivatives transactions, following a period of advance notice to the Fund, clearing brokers generally can require termination of existing cleared or exchange-traded derivatives transactions at any time and increases in margin above the margin that it required at the beginning of a transaction. Clearing houses and exchanges also have broad rights to increase margin requirements for existing transactions and to terminate transactions. Any such increase or termination could interfere with the ability of a Fund to pursue its investment strategy. Also, a Fund is subject to execution risk if it enters into a derivatives transaction that is required to be cleared (or that GMO expects to be cleared), and no clearing member is willing or able to clear the transaction on the Fund’s behalf. In that case, the transaction might have to be terminated, and the Fund could lose some or all of the benefit of any increase in the value of the transaction after the time of the transaction.
The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investment and other risks” above for further information.

Forward currency contracts
The Funds (except U.S. Treasury Fund) may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market price of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked-to-market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was settled.
These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose a Fund to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts
The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (and if the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin as recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Options
The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. “Quanto” options are cash-settled options in which the underlying asset (often an index) is denominated in a currency other than the currency in which the option is settled. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium, if any, which is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The Funds may write (i.e. sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
When an option contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
In a credit linked option contract, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the option to exercise a contract where the buyer has the right to receive a specified return if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities and a specified decrease in the value of the related collateral occurs. A writer of a credit linked option receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay an agreed-upon value to the other party if they exercise their option in the case of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligation and will keep the premiums received.

Swap contracts
The Funds may directly or indirectly use various swap contracts, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, total return swaps, interest rate swaps, basis swaps, currency swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps, municipal swaps, dividend swaps, volatility swaps, correlation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap contract is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap contract and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.
Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap contract are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap contract and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap contract is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. The periodic frequency of payments received may differ from periodic payment frequencies made and their frequencies could be monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually or at maturity.
Interest rate swap contracts involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or rights to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal). Basis swaps are interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of two floating interest rate payments and may involve the exchange of two different currencies.
Inflation swaps involve the exchange of a floating rate linked to an index for a fixed rate interest payment with respect to a notional amount or principal.
Total return swap contracts involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or futures contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.
In a credit default swap contract, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.
For credit default swap contracts on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap contracts on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.
Correlation swaps involve receiving a stream of payments based on the actual average correlation between or among the price movements of two or more underlying variables over a period of time, in exchange for making a regular stream of payments based on a fixed “strike” correlation level (or vice versa), where both payment streams are based on a notional amount. The underlying variables may include, without limitation, commodity prices, exchange rates, interest rates and stock indices.
Variance swap contracts involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.
Generally, the Funds price their OTC swap contracts daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors and record the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Gains or losses are realized upon the termination of the swap contracts or reset dates, as appropriate. Cleared swap contracts are valued using the quote (which may be based on a model) published by the relevant clearing house. If an updated quote for a cleared swap contract is not available by the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value on any business day, then that swap contract will generally be valued using an industry standard model, which may differ from the model used by the relevant clearing house.
The values assigned to swap contracts may differ significantly from the values realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap contracts involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the value assigned to the swap contract. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As provided by U.S. GAAP, the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.

GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
| ^ | Because the Funds recognize changes in value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these tables. |
| ¤ | The table includes cumulative unrealized appreciation/depreciation of futures and value of cleared swap contracts, if any, as reported in the Schedule of Investments. Year-end variation margin on open futures and cleared swap contracts, if any, is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
Certain Funds are party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements, Global Master Repurchase Agreements or other similar types of agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) that generally govern the terms of OTC derivative transactions, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements. The Master Agreements may include collateral posting terms and set-off provisions that apply in the event of a default and/or termination event. Upon the occurrence of such an event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty, the Master Agreements may permit the non-defaulting party to calculate a single net payment to close out applicable transactions. However, there is no guarantee that the terms of a Master Agreement will be enforceable; for example, when bankruptcy or insolvency laws impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset. Additionally, the set-off and netting provisions of a Master Agreement may not extend to the obligations of the counterparty’s affiliates or across varying types of transactions. Because no such event has occurred, the Funds do not presently have a legally enforceable right of set-off and these amounts have not been offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, but have been presented separately in the table below. Termination events may also include a decline in the net assets of a Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and may entitle a counterparty to elect an early termination of all the transactions under the Master Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on a Fund’s operations. An estimate of the aggregate net payment, if any, that may need to be paid by a Fund (or may be received by a Fund) in such an event is represented by the Net Amounts in the tables below. For more information about other uncertainties and risks, see “Investments and other risks” above.
For financial reporting purposes, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities any cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds is reported as Due from broker and any cash collateral received from the counterparty is reported as Due to broker. Any non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds is noted in the Schedules of Investments. The tables below show the potential effect of netting arrangements made available by the Master Agreements on the financial position of the Funds. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally show derivative assets and derivative liabilities (regardless of whether they are subject to netting arrangements) on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures of the Fund prior to netting. See Note 2 for information on repurchase agreements and, reverse repurchase agreements held by the Funds at February 28, 2022, if any.
The tables above present the Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities by type of financial instrument. The following tables present the Funds’ OTC and/or exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts that may be available for offset under the Master Agreements by the terms of the agreement and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Funds as of February 28, 2022:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | Asset Allocation Bond Fund | | | Emerging Country Debt Fund | | | High Yield Fund | | | Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund | | | Opportunistic Income Fund | | | U.S. Treasury Fund | |
Management Fee | | | 0.25% | | | | 0.35% | | | | 0.35% | | | | 0.25% | | | | 0.40% | | | | 0.08%(a) | |
| (a) | Since April 9, 2021 and prior to June 30, 2019, GMO voluntarily waived the Fund’s entire management fee. |
In addition, each class of shares of certain Funds pays GMO directly or indirectly a shareholder service fee for providing client services and reporting, such as performance information, client account information, personal and electronic access to Fund information, access to analysis and explanations of Fund reports, and assistance in maintaining and correcting client-related information. Shareholder service fees are paid monthly at the annual rate equal to the percentage of each applicable Class’s average daily net assets set forth in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

For each Fund, other than Emerging Country Debt Fund and High Yield Fund, GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for its “Specified Operating Expenses” (as defined below). For High Yield Fund, GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for the portion of its “Specified Operating Expenses” (as defined below) that exceeds 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Any such reimbursements are paid to a Fund concurrently with the Fund’s payment of management fees to GMO.
“Specified Operating Expenses” means: audit expenses, fund accounting expenses, pricing service expenses, expenses of non-investment related tax services, transfer agency expenses (excluding, in the case of Class I shares, any amounts paid for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of Class I shareholders), expenses of non-investment related legal services provided to the Funds by or at the direction of GMO, organizational and start-up expenses, federal securities law filing expenses, printing expenses, state and federal registration fees and custody expenses.

February 28, 2022
For High Yield Fund, GMO is permitted to recover from the Fund, on a class-by-class basis, “Specified Operating Expenses” GMO has borne or reimbursed (whether through reduction of its fees or otherwise) to the extent that the Fund’s “Specified Operating Expenses” later fall below the annualized rate of 0.10% per year or any lower expense limit in effect when GMO seeks to recover the expenses. The Fund, however, is not obligated to pay any such amount more than three years after GMO bore or reimbursed an expense. Any such recovery will not cause the Fund to exceed the annual limitation rate set forth above or any lower expense limit as is in effect at the time GMO seeks to recover the expenses.
For the year ended February 28, 2022, GMO did not recoup any previously recorded waivers and/or reimbursements.
On February 28, 2022, the waivers and/or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | |
| | Expiring the year ending February 28, 2023 | | | Expiring the year ending February 29, 2024 | | | Expiring the year ending February 28, 2025 | |
High Yield Fund, Class VI | | | $— | | | | $— | | | | $28,545 | |
GMO has contractually agreed to waive or reduce the Fund’s management fees and shareholder service fees to the extent necessary to offset the management fees and shareholder service fees paid to GMO that are directly or indirectly borne by the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund as a result of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in other series of GMO Trust (“GMO Funds”). Management fees and shareholder service fees will not be waived below zero.
These contractual waivers and reimbursements will continue through at least June 30, 2022 for each Fund unless the Funds’ Board of Trustees authorizes their modification or termination or reduces the fee rates paid to GMO under the Fund’s management contract or servicing and supplemental support agreement.
GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse Class I assets of each Fund (or waive its fees) to the extent that payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries from Class I assets exceed 0.10% of such Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class I assets.
Sub-Transfer Agent/Recordkeeping Payments
Class III, IV, V, VI, and R6 shares are not subject to payments to third parties for sub-transfer agent, recordkeeping and other administrative services. GMO may, on a case-by-case basis, make payments for sub-transfer agent, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of shareholders of these classes. Any such payments are made by GMO out of its own resources and are not an additional charge to a Fund or the holders of Class III, IV, V, VI, or Class R6 shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing a financial intermediary to recommend a Fund over another investment.
Class I shares are subject to payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of holders of Class I shares through an account maintained by a third-party platform or intermediary. These services are not primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares but instead to provide ongoing services with respect to holders of Class I shares through a third-party platform or intermediary. Because payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services are paid out of a Fund’s Class I assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of an investment in Class I shares. In addition, GMO may, on a case-by-case basis, make payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries with respect to shareholders of Class I shares. Any such payments will be made by GMO out of its own resources and will not be an additional charge to a Fund or the holders of Class I shares. Any such payments will create a conflict of interest by influencing a financial intermediary to recommend a Fund over another investment.

The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other GMO funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by a Fund from another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effectuated at the current market price. During the year ended February 28, 2022, the Funds did not engage in these transactions.

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, GMO is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of GMO Trust and Shareholders of
GMO Asset Allocation Bond Fund, GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund, GMO High Yield Fund, GMO Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund, GMO Opportunistic Income Fund, and GMO U.S. Treasury Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of GMO Asset Allocation Bond Fund, GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund, GMO High Yield Fund, GMO Multi-Sector Fixed Income Fund, GMO Opportunistic Income Fund, and GMO U.S. Treasury Fund (six of the funds constituting GMO Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended February 28, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2022, 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 February 28, 2022, 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 February 28, 2022 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 February 28, 2022 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
February 28, 2022 (Unaudited)
Expense Examples: The following information is in relation to expenses for the six month period ended February 28, 2022.
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including purchase premium and redemption fees, if applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including direct and/or indirect management fees, direct and/or indirect shareholder services 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.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, September 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022.
Actual Expenses
This section of the table for each class below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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, a $10,000,000 account value divided by $1,000 = 10,000), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section of the table for each class below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio 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 with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 purchase premium and redemption fees. Therefore, this section 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.

Equity Dislocation, which is broadly 100% long cheap global Value and 100% short expensive global Growth, had a very strong year and, as a sizeable allocation, was the biggest contributor to total Fund returns with a 3.5% contribution. Other strategies that had a positive impact included Put Selling, Event-Driven, and Relative Credit which contributed a little over 1% between them. That left three strategies posting negative returns. The Asset Allocation Long/Short strategy suffered a very difficult year, but the relatively modest exposure mitigated some of this and it detracted -1.3%. Unfortunately, two of the larger exposures, Systematic Global Macro and Fixed Income Absolute Return, also had a disappointing 12 months and detracted -1.4% and -1.8%, respectively.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
For Class VI, R6 and I the gross expense ratio of 1.49%, 1.69% and 1.77%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 1.34%, 1.53% and 1.62% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

& | The table incorporates aggregate indirect asset class exposure associated with investments in other funds of GMO Trust (“underlying funds”). Derivative financial instruments, if any, are based on market values, rather than the notional amounts of derivatives, except for forward currency contracts which are based on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). |
¤ | The table incorporates aggregate indirect country exposure associated with investments in the underlying funds. The table excludes short-term investments. The table includes exposure through the use of certain derivative financial instruments and excludes exposure through certain currency linked derivatives such as forward currency contracts and currency options. The table is based on duration adjusted net exposures (both investments and derivatives), taking into account the market value of securities and the notional amounts of swaps and other derivative financial instruments. Duration is based on GMO’s models. The greater the duration of a bond, the greater its contribution to the concentration percentage. Credit default swap exposures are factored into the duration-adjusted exposure using the reference security and applying the same methodology to that security. The table is not normalized, thus, due to the exclusions listed above and negative exposures, which may be attributable to derivatives or short sales, if any, the tables may not total to 100%. |
# | “Euro Region” is comprised of derivative financial instruments attributed to the Eurozone and not a particular country. |
† | “Other Emerging” is comprised of emerging countries that each represent between (1.0)% and 1.0% of Total Net Assets. |
‡ | “Other Developed” is comprised of developed countries that each represent between (1.0)% and 1.0% of Total Net Assets. |

Swap Contracts — continued
(1) | As of February 28, 2022, implied credit spreads in absolute terms, calculated using a model, and utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts on the reference security, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap contract. |

GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Asset Allocation team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) is included for comparative purposes only.
Class III shares of GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund returned +0.86% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +7.99% for the CPI.
This was a fairly lackluster 12 months for performance, both from an absolute perspective and a relative one. There was a tremendous spread in returns across risk assets with, for example, the S&P 500 Index returning 16.4% while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index faltered to a -10.7% return. Our equity and equity long/short positions, which together accounted for an average of broadly 46% of the Fund, were biased towards emerging markets and away from the U.S. and therefore performed poorly. We believed that emerging markets were trading at very preferential valuations, but regulatory actions in China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine proved extremely challenging. The disappointing returns suffered by the equity book were exacerbated by security selection within emerging markets, as we were meaningfully overweight Russia. Alternative assets, which accounted for an average of broadly 44% of the Fund, enjoyed a strong year with a 7.5% return. This was driven by an excellent showing from the Equity Dislocation Strategy, which is long cheap Value stocks and short expensive Growth stocks. Fixed income assets accounted for the remaining 10% of the Fund, and these too enjoyed a solid 12 months. We generated a modestly positive return, as the High Yield/Distressed portfolio and Asset-Backed Securities more than offset the difficult year for Emerging Debt, which was well ahead of the -2.6% posted by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index).

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited. Performance for classes may vary due to different fees.
For Class III, IV, MF, R6 and I the gross expense ratio of 1.07%, 1.02%, 1.02%, 1.05% and 1.17%, respectively, is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Classes listed above, the corresponding net expense ratio of 0.96%, 0.92%, 0.91%, 0.97% and 1.07% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO Benchmark-Free Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Asset Allocation team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any index or benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) is included for comparative purposes only.
Class III shares of GMO Benchmark-Free Fund returned +1.21% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +7.99% for the CPI.
This was a fairly lackluster 12 months for performance, both from an absolute perspective and a relative one. There was a tremendous spread in returns across risk assets with, for example, the S&P 500 Index returning 16.4% while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index faltered to a -10.7% return. Our equity and equity long/short positions were biased towards emerging markets and away from the U.S., and therefore performed poorly. We believed that emerging markets were trading at very preferential valuations, but regulatory actions in China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine proved extremely challenging. The disappointing returns suffered by the equity book were exacerbated by security selection within emerging markets, as we were meaningfully overweight Russia. Alternative assets enjoyed a strong year, driven by an excellent showing from the Equity Dislocation Strategy, which is long cheap Value stocks and short expensive Growth stocks. The exposure to fixed income assets was relatively modest, a positive return from Asset-Backed Securities worked to offset the difficult year for Emerging Debt.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited.
For Class III the gross expense ratio of 0.36% is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. For the Class listed above, the net expense ratio of 0.31% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

GMO Global Asset Allocation Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Asset Allocation team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO Global Asset Allocation Fund returned -0.10% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +4.16% for the Fund’s benchmark, the GMO Global Asset Allocation Index (65% MSCI All Country World Index (“ACWI”) and 35% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index).
The Fund’s underweight in equities, compared to the benchmark, had a negative impact on performance, and this was exacerbated by the bias towards emerging markets and away from the U.S., as the S&P 500 Index returned 16.4% while the MSCI Emerging Markets index faltered to a -10.7% return. We believed that emerging markets were trading at very preferential valuations, but regulatory actions in China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine proved extremely challenging. The disappointing returns suffered by the equity book were exacerbated by security selection within emerging markets, as we were meaningfully overweight Russia. The Fund’s exposure to alternative strategies detracted from relative performance, as they did not manage to keep up with the return generated by the Fund’s benchmark. The underweighting to fixed income was additive to performance as the asset class did relatively less well, with the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index) posting -2.6%, and this was complemented by modest outperformance within fixed income.

Portfolio Management

Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO Global Developed Equity Allocation Fund returned +6.80% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +10.74% for the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Index.
The Fund’s underweight to the U.S. market and overweight to developed ex-U.S. detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. We also believed that emerging markets were trading at very preferential valuations, and therefore held an “off-benchmark” position here. Unfortunately, regulatory actions in China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine proved extremely detrimental. Security selection in developed markets was strong. In developed ex-U.S., strong outperformance of the Value style provided a decent tailwind, although this was partly offset by being overweight to Japan, which was the laggard within developed equities. The performance challenge from being overweight emerging markets was exacerbated by security selection within emerging markets, as we were meaningfully overweight Russia.

GMO Implementation Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Asset Allocation team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC. Allocations among asset classes are made by the Asset Allocation team and specific security selection is primarily handled by other GMO investment teams in collaboration with the Asset Allocation team.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Although GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark, a discussion of the Fund’s performance relative to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) is included for comparative purposes only.
GMO Implementation Fund returned +2.02% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +7.99% for the CPI.
This was a fairly lackluster 12 months for performance, both from an absolute perspective and a relative one. There was a tremendous spread in returns across risk assets with, for example, the S&P 500 Index returning 16.4% while the MSCI Emerging Market Index faltered to a -10.7% return. Our equity and equity long/short positions were biased towards emerging markets and away from the U.S. and therefore performed poorly. We believed that emerging markets were trading at very preferential valuations, but regulatory actions in China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine proved extremely challenging. The disappointing returns suffered by the equity book were exacerbated by security selection within emerging markets, as we were meaningfully overweight Russia. Alternative assets enjoyed a strong year, driven by an excellent showing from the Equity Dislocation strategy, which is long cheap Value stocks and short expensive Growth stocks. Fixed Income assets also enjoyed a very solid 12 months, well ahead of the -2.6% posted by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index), as the High Yield/Distressed portfolio delivered decent positive returns.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance data may be lower or higher than the performance data provided herein. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month-end, visit www.gmo.com. Performance shown is net of all fees after reimbursement from GMO. Returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the periods shown and do not include the effect of taxes on distributions and redemptions. The performance information shown above only includes purchase premiums and/or redemption fees in effect as of February 28, 2022. All information is unaudited.
The gross expense ratio of 0.22% is equal to the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated June 30, 2021. The net expense ratio of 0.16% reflects the reduction of expenses from fee reimbursements. The fee reimbursements will continue until at least June 30, 2022. Elimination of this reimbursement will result in higher fees and lower performance.

& | In the table, derivative financial instruments, if any, are based on market values, rather than the notional amounts of derivatives, except for forward currency contracts which are based on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). |
¤ | The table incorporates aggregate indirect country exposure associated with investments in the underlying funds. The table excludes short-term investments. The table includes exposure through the use of certain derivative financial instruments and excludes exposure through certain currency linked derivatives such as forward currency contracts and currency options. The table is based on duration adjusted net exposures (both investments and derivatives), taking into account the market value of securities and the notional amounts of swaps and other derivative financial instruments. Duration is based on GMO’s models. The greater the duration of a bond, the greater its contribution to the concentration percentage. Credit default swap exposures are factored into the duration adjusted exposure using the reference security and applying the same methodology to that security. The table is not normalized, thus, due to the exclusions listed above and negative exposures, which may be attributable to derivatives or short sales, if any, the table may not total to 100%. |
§ | “Euro Region” is comprised of derivative financial instruments attributed to the Eurozone and not a particular country. |
‡ | “Other Developed” is comprised of developed countries that each represent between (1.0)% and 1.0% of Total Net Assets. |
† | “Other Emerging” is comprised of emerging countries that each represent between (1.0)% and 1.0% of Total Net Assets. |
# | Equity investments may consist of common stocks and other stock-related securities, such as preferred stocks, if any. This table excludes exposure to derivative contracts, short-term investments, mutual funds and investment funds, if any. For a summary of these exposures, if any, see the Schedule of Investments. |

^ | Buy Protection - Fund pays a premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs the Fund will, depending on the terms of the particular swap contract, either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| Sell Protection - Fund receives a premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs the Fund will, depending on the terms of the particular swap contract, either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(1) | As of February 28, 2022, implied credit spreads in absolute terms, calculated using a model, and utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts on the reference security, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. |
(2) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap contract. |

Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Asset Allocation team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO International Developed Equity Allocation Fund returned +2.88% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +2.83% for the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index.
The Fund’s decision to hold a broadly 9% position in emerging markets, initially in broad emerging markets and laterally in emerging ex-China, detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. We believed that emerging markets were trading at very preferential valuations but, unfortunately, regulatory actions in China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine proved extremely detrimental. Security selection in developed markets was strong. Outperformance of the Value style undoubtedly provided a decent tailwind, although this was partly offset by being overweight to Japan, which was the laggard within developed equities. The performance challenge from being overweight emerging markets was exacerbated by security selection within emerging markets, as we were meaningfully overweight Russia.

Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO International Equity Allocation Fund returned -3.37% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, compared to -0.40% for the MSCI All Country World Index (“ACWI”) ex USA.
The Fund’s overweight to emerging markets detracted from performance relative to the benchmark as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index stumbled to a -10.7% return. We believed that emerging markets were trading at very preferential valuations but, unfortunately, regulatory actions in China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine proved extremely detrimental. Security selection in developed markets was strong. Outperformance of the Value style undoubtedly provided a decent tailwind, although this was partly offset by being overweight to Japan, which was the laggard within developed equities.

GMO SGM Major Markets Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Systematic Global Macro team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO SGM Major Markets Fund returned -2.00% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +0.05% for the FTSE 3-Month Treasury Bill Index.
The Fund added value from commodity and fixed income positions, while equities and currencies detracted value. The year saw a period of strong economic recovery from the Covid pandemic, but that also brought with it the issues of higher inflation and the prospect of higher interest rates. With this, we saw many assets rally over the beginning of the period, only then to later stall and face headwinds.
Commodities were the main positive contributor through the year. Major gains came from being long energy, and long commodities in general. Fixed income also added value, mainly through long Australian and short European positions.
Currencies and equities detracted over the period. Currencies were a detractor, primarily due to long euro positions. Equity positions were marginally negative, with losses from long emerging market positions offsetting gains from long European positions.

GMO Strategic Opportunities Allocation Fund
(A Series of GMO Trust)
Portfolio Management
Day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio is the responsibility of the Asset Allocation team at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC.
Management Discussion and Analysis of Fund Performance
Class III shares of GMO Strategic Opportunities Allocation Fund returned +3.57% (net) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, as compared with +7.36% for the GMO Strategic Opportunities Allocation Index (75% MSCI World Index (MSCI Standard Index Series) and 25% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index)).
The Fund’s equity weight is not that different from the benchmark, so this had minimal effect on relative performance. There was a tremendous spread in returns across risk assets with, for example, the S&P 500 Index returning 16.4% while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index faltered to a -10.7% return. Our equity positions were biased towards emerging markets and away from the U.S. and therefore performed poorly. We believed that emerging markets were trading at very preferential valuations, but regulatory actions in China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine proved extremely challenging. The disappointing returns suffered by the equity book were exacerbated by security selection within emerging markets, as we were meaningfully overweight Russia. The underweighting to fixed income was additive to performance as the -2.6% posted by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (formerly Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index) was well behind the blended benchmark. Alternative assets, invested in the Equity Dislocation Strategy which is long cheap Value stocks and short expensive Growth stocks, enjoyed an excellent year.

& | The table incorporates aggregate indirect asset class exposure associated with investments in other funds of GMO Trust (“underlying funds”). Derivative financial instruments, if any, are based on market values, rather than the notional amounts of derivatives, except for forward currency contracts which are based on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). |
¤ | The table incorporates aggregate indirect country exposure associated with investments in the underlying funds. The table excludes short-term investments. The table includes exposure through the use of certain derivative financial instruments and excludes exposure through certain currency linked derivatives such as forward currency contracts and currency options. The table is based on duration adjusted net exposures (both investments and derivatives), taking into account the market value of securities and the notional amounts of swaps and other derivative financial instruments. Duration is based on GMO’s models. The greater the duration of a bond, the greater its contribution to the concentration percentage. Credit default swap exposures are factored into the duration-adjusted exposure using the reference security and applying the same methodology to that security. The tables are not normalized, thus, due to the exclusions listed above and negative exposures, which may be attributable to derivatives or short sales, if any, the tables may not total to 100%. |
† | “Other Emerging” is comprised of emerging countries that each represent between (1.0)% and 1.0% of Total Net Assets. |
‡ | “Other Developed” is comprised of developed countries that each represent between (1.0)% and 1.0% of Total Net Assets. |
# | “Euro Region” is comprised of derivative financial instruments attributed to the Eurozone and not a particular country. |

The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June 24, 1985. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees of the Trust (“Trustees”) to create an unlimited number of series of shares (Funds) and to subdivide Funds into classes. The Funds are advised and managed by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”).
The Funds may invest in GMO U.S. Treasury Fund and in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO.
Many of the Funds may invest primarily in other GMO Funds and Alternative Allocation Fund, Implementation Fund and SGM Major Markets Fund may also invest in GMO Alternative Allocation SPC Ltd., GMO Implementation SPC Ltd. and GMO Alternative Asset SPC Ltd.

2. | Significant accounting policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently followed by the Funds in preparing these financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation: Alternative Allocation Fund, Implementation Fund and SGM Major Markets Fund
Alternative Allocation Fund, Implementation Fund and SGM Major Markets Fund include the accounts of their wholly-owned subsidiaries and the accompanying financial statements have been consolidated for those accounts. The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets and liabilities of each wholly-owned subsidiary. All interfund accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Portfolio valuation
Shares of the underlying funds and other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their most recent net asset value. Direct investments held by the Funds and underlying funds are valued as follows: Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event GMO deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within that range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Cleared derivatives are valued using the price quoted (which may be based on a model) by the relevant clearing house. If an updated quote for a cleared derivative is not available when a Fund calculates its net asset value, the derivative will generally be valued using an industry standard model, which may differ from the model used by the relevant clearing house. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are generally valued at the price determined by an industry standard model. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price.
The foregoing valuation methodologies are modified for equities that trade in non-U.S. securities markets that close before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for those derivatives closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the price will generally be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees that are intended to reflect valuation changes through the NYSE close. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE)) are classified as Level 2 (levels defined below) and are described in the disclosures of the underlying funds.
Typically, the Funds and the underlying funds value fixed income securities at the most recent price supplied by a pricing source determined by GMO. GMO evaluates pricing sources on an ongoing basis and may change a pricing source at any time. GMO monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another source) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable. Alternative pricing sources are often but not always available for securities held by the Funds and the underlying funds.
“Quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If a market quotation for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, the “quoted price” may be the price provided by a market participant or other third-party pricing source in accordance with the market practice for that security. If an updated quoted price for a security is not available when a Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund will generally use the last quoted price so long as GMO believes that the last quoted price continues to represent that security’s fair value.
In the case of derivatives, prices determined by a model may reflect an estimate of the average of bid and ask prices, regardless of whether a Fund has a long position or a short position.
If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing valuation methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the price determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. The Funds and/or the underlying funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the year ended February 28, 2022, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their OTC derivatives contracts, if any, based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties. See Note 4 “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to the liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities; certain U.S. government obligations; derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options); and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).
Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include certain U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, certain sovereign debt obligations, and corporate bonds valued using vendor prices or broker quotes; cleared derivatives and certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency contracts valued using industry standard models; certain restricted securities valued at the most recent available market or quoted price; certain securities that are valued at the local price; certain debt obligations, such as collateralized loan obligations, that have yet to begin trading that are valued at cost; and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.
Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.
The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to, certain debt securities (such as asset-backed, mortgage-backed, loans and sovereign debt) and derivatives even though they may be valued using broker quotes; certain debt securities and derivatives adjusted by a specified discount for liquidity or other considerations; securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange valued at the most recent available market or quoted price; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation valued at the most recent available market or quoted price; potential litigation recoveries and interests related to bankruptcy proceedings; certain equity securities valued based on the last traded exchange price adjusted for the movement in a relevant index; certain securities that are valued using a price from a comparable security related to the same issuer; and certain recently acquired equity securities that have yet to begin trading that are valued at cost.

The risks referenced in the tables above are not intended to be inclusive of all risks. Please see the “Investment and other risks” and “Derivative financial instruments” sections below for a further discussion of risks.
| ^ | In the tables above derivatives are based on market values, rather than the notional amounts of derivatives, except for forward currency contracts which are based on unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). Excludes purchased options, if any, which are included in investments. |
| § | Represents the interest in securities that were determined to have a value of zero at February 28, 2022. |
The underlying funds held at year end are classified above as Level 1. Certain underlying funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees or which may have been valued using significant unobservable inputs. For a summary of the levels assigned to the underlying funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, please refer to the underlying funds’ Notes to Financial Statements which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on GMO’s website at www.gmo.com.
U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets). Level 3 holdings include investments valued using unadjusted prices supplied by a third-party pricing source (e.g., broker quotes, vendor). Implementation Fund’s Level 3 holdings include two common stocks that are priced at the average of broker bids, a common stock valued at its last price prior to trading being suspended and a common stock priced with a 2,000 basis point discount to a comparable stock and an additional 1,000 basis point discount for liquidity considerations. Other than described above, there were no other Funds with classes of investments or derivatives with direct material Level 3 holdings at February 28, 2022.

Cash
Cash and foreign currency, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities consist of cash balances held with the custodian.
Due to/from broker
Due to/from broker in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities includes collateral on swap contracts, futures contracts, option contracts and forward currency contracts, if any, and may include marked-to-market amounts related to foreign currency or cash owed.
Foreign currency translation
The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally at 4:00 pm Eastern time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Loan assignments and participations
Certain Funds may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates, to suppliers of goods or services, or to other parties by corporate, governmental or other borrower. Such “loans” may include bank loans, promissory notes, and loan participations, or in the case of suppliers of goods or services, trade claims or other receivables. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness a Fund has direct recourse against the borrower, it may have to rely on the agent to enforce its rights against the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, (i) a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the party from whom the Fund has purchased the participation and only upon receipt by that party of payments from the borrower and (ii) a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to vote on matters arising under the loan agreement. Thus, a Fund may be subject to credit risk both of the party from whom it purchased the loan participation and the borrower and that Fund may have minimal control over the terms of any loan modification. Loan assignments and participations outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Rights and warrants
The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” in Note 4 “Derivative financial instruments”. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and brokers. Under a repurchase agreement a Fund acquires a security for a relatively short period for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of securities it acquired under the repurchase agreement. The value of the securities acquired may be less than the amount owed to the Fund by the seller. If the seller in a repurchase agreement transaction defaults or enters into insolvency proceedings and the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement is insufficient, the Fund’s recovery of cash from the seller may be delayed and, even if the Fund is able to dispose of the securities, the Fund may incur a loss equal to the difference between the cash it paid and the value of the securities. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Reverse repurchase agreements
The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and brokers to enhance return. Under a reverse repurchase agreement a Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by that Fund to repurchase the same assets at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund can use the proceeds received from entering into a reverse repurchase agreement to make additional investments, which generally causes the Fund’s portfolio to behave as if it were leveraged. If the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result may realize a loss on the transaction if the securities it sold are worth more than the purchase price it originally received from the buyer. Reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Inflation-indexed bonds
Certain Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is adjusted periodically according to the rate of inflation/deflation. Two structures are common. The U.S. Treasury and some other issuers use a structure that accrues inflation/deflation into the principal value of the bond. Many other issuers adjust the coupon accruals for inflation related changes.
The market price of inflation-indexed bonds normally changes when real interest rates change. Real interest rates, in turn, are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates (i.e. stated interest rates) and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if the rate of inflation rises at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates (i.e. nominal interest rate minus inflation) might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Coupon payments received by a Fund from inflation-indexed bonds are generally included in the Fund’s gross income for the period in which they accrue. In addition, any increase/decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is generally included in the Fund’s gross income even though principal is not paid until maturity. Inflation-indexed bonds outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Securities lending
The Funds may make secured loans of their portfolio securities amounting to not more than one-third of their total assets. Securities loans are required to be collateralized by cash or securities in an amount equal to the securities loaned (marked to market daily). Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the following business day. Funds participating in securities lending receive compensation for lending their securities and/or net investment income earned on the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and fees paid to the lending agent. Cash collateral received is generally invested in GMO U.S. Treasury Fund. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Funds’ lending agent.

A Fund that lends its portfolio securities bears the risk of delay in the recovery of loaned securities, including possible impairment of the Fund’s ability to vote the securities, the inability to invest proceeds from the sales of such securities and of loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. A Fund also bears the risk that the value of investments made with collateral may decline and bear the risk of total loss with respect to the investment of collateral.
At February 28, 2022, securities on loan at value and collateral from securities on loan are listed below:

| * | Non-cash collateral is comprised of U.S. Treasury and Agencies. The Fund cannot repledge non-cash collateral; therefore, they are excluded from the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
In addition, some Funds may loan their portfolio securities through an “enhanced custody” program offered by the Funds’ custodian to facilitate the borrowing of securities for the Funds’ short sales. Under the program, a Fund borrows securities from the custodian and sells short those borrowed securities. The Fund may utilize various ways of collateralizing its obligation to return the borrowed securities, including by pledging securities held in the Fund’s custodial account to the custodian. For its participation in the enhanced custody program, the Fund will pay the custodian a securities borrow fee and a financing charge.
Information regarding the value of the securities loaned and the value of cash collateral at year end is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Short sales
Certain Funds may enter into short sales transactions. A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells securities it may not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair market value of the securities. Securities sold in short sale transactions and the dividend and/or interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A Fund is obligated to deliver securities at the trade price at the time the short position is closed. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. Some Funds may also loan their portfolio securities through an enhanced custody program offered by the Funds’ custodian to facilitate the borrowing of securities for the Funds’ short sales (see Securities lending above). Short sales outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Municipal obligations
Municipal obligations are issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and the District of Columbia to obtain funds for various public purposes. Municipal notes are generally used to provide for short-term capital needs, such as to finance working capital needs of municipalities or to provide various interim or construction financing, and generally have maturities of one year or less. Municipal bonds, which meet longer-term capital needs and generally have maturities of more than one year when issued, have two principal classifications: “general obligation” bonds and “revenue” bonds. Issuers of general obligation bonds include states, counties, cities, towns and regional districts. The basic security behind general obligation bonds is the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit, and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds have been issued to fund a wide variety of capital projects. The principal security for a revenue bond is generally the net revenues derived from a particular facility or group of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other specific revenue source. Although the principal security behind these bonds varies widely, many provide additional security in the form of a debt service reserve fund whose monies also may be used to make principal and interest payments on the issuer’s obligations. Municipal obligations at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Trade claims
Certain Funds may purchase trade claims against companies, including companies in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings. Trade claims generally include claims of suppliers for goods delivered and not paid, claims for unpaid services rendered, claims for contract rejection damages and claims related to litigation. Trade claims are illiquid instruments which generally do not pay interest and there can be no guarantee that the debtor will ever be able to satisfy the obligation on the trade claim. Such claims are typically unsecured and may be subordinated to other unsecured obligations of a debtor, and generally are subject to defenses of the debtor with respect to

the underlying transaction giving rise to the trade claim. Trade claims outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Taxes and distributions
Each Fund has elected to be treated or intends to elect to be treated and intends to qualify each tax year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Fund intends to distribute its net investment income, if any, and its net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, after giving effect to any available capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, each Fund makes no provision for U.S. federal income or excise taxes.
Alternative Allocation SPC Ltd., Alternative Asset SPC Ltd. and Implementation SPC Ltd. are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Alternative Allocation Fund, SGM Major Markets Fund and Implementation Fund, respectively, and each has elected to be treated as a (non-U.S.) corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The policy of each Fund is to declare and pay dividends of its net investment income, if any, at least annually, although the Funds are permitted to, and will from time to time, declare and pay dividends of net investment income, if any, more frequently. Each Fund also intends to distribute net realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, at least annually. In addition, each Fund may, from time to time at their discretion, make unscheduled distributions in advance of large redemptions by shareholders or as otherwise deemed appropriate by a Fund. Typically, all distributions are reinvested in additional shares of each Fund, at net asset value, unless GMO or its agents receive and process a shareholder election to receive cash distributions. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by each Fund on the ex-dividend date.
Taxes on foreign interest and dividend income are generally withheld in accordance with the applicable country’s tax treaty with the United States. The foreign withholding rates applicable to a Fund’s investments in certain jurisdictions may be higher if a significant portion of the Fund is held by non-U.S. shareholders and/or if certain investments are made by a Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Certain Funds have previously filed for and/or may file for additional tax refunds with respect to certain taxes withheld by certain countries. Generally, the amount of such refunds that a Fund reasonably determines are collectible and free from significant contingencies are reflected in a Fund’s net asset value and are reflected as Dividends from unaffiliated issuers in the Statements of Operations. In certain circumstances, a Fund’s receipt of such refunds may cause the Fund and/or its shareholders to be liable for U.S. federal income taxes, interest charges and related fees.
As a result of court cases involving several countries across the European Union, certain Funds and/or underlying funds have filed tax reclaims in addition to treaty-based claims, in respect of previously withheld taxes on dividends earned (“EU tax reclaims”). These filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by each local jurisdiction’s tax authority, as well as judicial proceedings. EU tax reclaim and associated interest entitlements that have been recognized, if any, are reflected as Other income in the Statements of Operations. As a result of its entitlements to EU tax reclaims and related interest amounts, a Fund may incur contingent legal fees. Such fees are presented within Legal fees in the Statements of Operations. Related receivables, if any, are reflected as EU tax reclaims receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Receivables resulting from EU tax reclaims pursued by liquidated underlying funds, if any, are reflected as Receivable from liquidated underlying funds in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Generally, unless GMO believes that recovery amounts are collectible and free from significant contingencies, recoveries will not be reflected in a Fund’s net asset value. EU tax reclaims and related interest entitlements recognized by a Fund, if any, reduce the amount of foreign taxes, if any, that a Fund may elect to pass-through to its shareholders from a U.S. federal tax perspective. In certain circumstances and to the extent that EU tax reclaims recognized by a Fund were previously passed-through as foreign tax credits to its U.S. taxable shareholders, a Fund may enter into a closing agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Doing so will enable a Fund to quantify and remit its tax liability related to any recoveries (on behalf of its shareholders).
Each Fund may be subject to taxation on realized capital gains, repatriation proceeds and other transaction-based charges imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount. Taxes related to capital gains realized during the year ended February 28, 2022, if any, are reflected as part of Net realized gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Changes in tax liabilities related to capital gain taxes on unrealized investment gains, if any, are reflected as part of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations.
Foreign taxes paid by each Fund may be treated, to the extent permissible by the Code (and other applicable U.S. federal tax guidance) and if that Fund so elects, as if paid by U.S. shareholders of that Fund.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences that arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will likely reverse at some time in the future.
Differences in distributable earnings on a U.S. GAAP and tax accounting basis primarily relate to the following:

The Funds are subject to authoritative guidance related to the accounting and disclosure of uncertain tax positions under U.S. GAAP. A Fund may recognize an income tax liability related to an uncertain tax position under U.S. GAAP when the uncertain tax position has a less than 50% probability that it would be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities, based on technical merits. United States and non-U.S. tax rules (including the interpretation and application of tax laws) are subject to change. The Funds file tax returns and/or adopt certain tax positions in various jurisdictions. Non-U.S. taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the prevailing tax rules of the non-U.S. markets in which they invest. Recently enacted tax rules, including interpretations of tax laws and tax legislation/initiatives currently under consideration in various jurisdictions, including the U.S., might affect the way the Funds and their investors are taxed prospectively and/or retroactively. Prior to the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, if
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
any, the Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to the tax returns they have filed and the tax positions they have adopted. The Funds’ U.S. federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction. As of February 28, 2022, each Fund has determined that no tax liability is required to be accrued in its financial statements related to uncertain tax positions for any tax years which are subject to examination.
Security transactions and related investment income
Security transactions are accounted for in the financial statements on trade date. For purposes of daily net asset value calculations, the Funds’ policy is that security transactions are generally accounted for on the following business day. GMO may override that policy and a Fund may account for security transactions on trade date if it experiences significant purchases or redemptions or engages in significant portfolio transactions. Dividend income, net of applicable foreign withholding taxes, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, if later, when a Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions from underlying funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and is adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Principal on inflation-indexed securities is adjusted for inflation/deflation and any increase or decrease is recorded as interest income or investment loss. Coupon income is not recognized on securities for which collection is not expected. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, if any, are recorded as components of interest income in the Statements of Operations. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the Funds use the identified cost basis.
Expenses and class allocations
Most of the expenses of the Trust are directly attributable to an individual Fund. Generally, common expenses are allocated among the Funds based on, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the Funds. Investment income, common expenses, purchase premiums and redemption fees, if any, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes of shares of the Funds, if applicable, based on the relative net assets of each class. Shareholder service fees and supplemental support fees, if any, which are directly attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class’s operations. In addition, the Funds may incur fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder in the underlying funds. Because the underlying funds have different expense and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses indirectly incurred by a Fund will vary (see Note 5).
Custodian, Fund Accounting Agent and Transfer Agent
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) serves as the Funds’ custodian, fund accounting agent and transfer agent. Cash balances maintained at the custodian and transfer agent are held in a Demand Deposit Account and interest income earned, if any, is shown as interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Purchases and redemptions of Fund shares
Purchase premiums and redemption fees (if applicable) are paid to and retained by a Fund to help offset estimated portfolio transaction costs and other related costs (e.g., bid to ask spreads, stamp duties, and transfer fees) incurred by the Fund (directly or indirectly through investments in underlying funds or a wholly-owned subsidiary) as a result of an investor’s purchase or redemption by allocating estimated transaction costs to the purchasing or redeeming shareholder. Such fees are recorded as a component of the Funds’ net share transactions. A Fund may impose a new purchase premium and redemption fee or increase or decrease an existing fee at any time.
Purchase premiums are not charged on reinvestments of dividends or other distributions. Redemption fees apply to all shares of a Fund regardless of how the shares were acquired (e.g., by direct purchase or by reinvestment of dividends or other distributions).
If GMO determines that any portion of a cash purchase or redemption, as applicable, is offset by a corresponding cash redemption or purchase occurring on the same day, it ordinarily will waive or reduce the purchase premium or redemption fee with respect to that portion.
GMO also may waive or reduce the purchase premium or redemption fee for a purchase or redemption of a Fund’s shares if the Fund will not incur transaction costs or will incur reduced transaction costs.
For example, GMO may reduce the purchase premium to the extent that securities are used to purchase a Fund’s shares (taking into account transaction costs, stamp duties or transfer fees), and GMO may reduce redemption fees to the extent a Fund uses portfolio securities to redeem its shares (taking into account transaction costs, stamp duties or transfer fees).

Recently-issued accounting guidance
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments in the ASU provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. The Investment Adviser does not expect ASU No. 2020-04 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies GMO employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for more information regarding the risks of investing in the Funds.
Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds, other investment companies or in a wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, “Underlying Funds”) is exposed to the risks to which the Underlying Funds in which it invests are exposed, as well as the risk that the Underlying Funds will not perform as expected. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
indirect risks, and references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund as a result of its investment in Underlying Funds.
An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. A Fund runs the risk that GMO’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results. GMO uses quantitative models as part of its investment process. GMO’s models may not accurately predict future market movements. In addition, GMO’s models rely on assumptions and data that are subject to limitations (e.g., inaccuracies, staleness) that could adversely affect their predictive value. A Fund also runs the risk that GMO’s assessment of an investment (including a security’s fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value) is wrong or that deficiencies in GMO’s or another service provider’s internal systems or controls will cause losses for the Fund or impair Fund operations.
• MARKET RISK – EQUITIES. The market price of an equity may decline due to factors affecting the issuer or its industry or the economy and equity markets generally. If the Fund purchases an equity for less than its fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value as assessed by GMO and GMO’s assessment proves to be incorrect, a Fund runs the risk that the market price of the equity will not appreciate or will decline. A Fund also may purchase equities that typically trade at higher multiples of current earnings than other securities, and the market prices of these equities often are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than the market prices of equities trading at lower multiples. Declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset value of the Fund’s shares.
• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. The market prices of many non-U.S. securities (particularly of companies tied economically to emerging countries) fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. Many non-U.S. securities markets (particularly emerging markets) are less stable, smaller, less liquid, and less regulated than U.S. securities markets, and the cost of trading in those markets often is higher than in U.S. securities markets. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities (particularly those tied economically to emerging countries) often are not subject to as much regulation as U.S. issuers, and the reporting, recordkeeping, accounting, custody, and auditing standards to which those issuers are subject often are not as rigorous as U.S. standards. In addition, a Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxes, potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends, interest, or other amounts it realizes or accrues in respect of non-U.S. investments; (ii) transactions in those investments; and (iii) repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale or other disposition of those investments. Also, the Funds need a license to invest directly in securities traded in many non-U.S. securities markets, and a Fund is subject to the risk that it could not invest if its license were terminated or suspended. In some non-U.S. securities markets, prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks. Further, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls could adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments. These and other risks (e.g., nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation of assets of non-U.S. issuers, limitations on, or difficulties enforcing, legal judgments, contractual rights, or other remedies) tend to be greater for investments in the securities of companies tied economically to emerging countries. The economies of emerging countries often depend predominantly on only a few industries or revenues from particular commodities and often are more volatile than the economies of developed countries.
• DERIVATIVES AND SHORT SALES RISK. The use of derivatives involves the risk that their value may not change as expected relative to changes in the value of the underlying assets, pools of assets, rates, currencies or indices. Derivatives also present other risks, including market risk, illiquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk, and counterparty risk. The market price of an option is affected by many factors, including changes in the market prices or dividend rates of underlying securities (or in the case of indices, the securities in such indices); the time remaining before expiration; changes in interest rates or exchange rates; and changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the relevant stock market and underlying securities. A Fund may create short investment exposure by taking a derivative position in which the value of the derivative moves in the opposite direction from the price of an underlying asset, pool of assets, rate, currency or index. The risks of loss associated with derivatives that provide short investment exposure and short sales of securities are theoretically unlimited.
• MARKET RISK – FIXED INCOME. The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to market-related factors, including rising interest rates and widening credit spreads, or decreased liquidity due, for example, to market uncertainty about the value of a fixed income investment (or class of fixed income investments).
• FUTURES CONTRACTS RISK. The loss to a Fund resulting from its use of futures contracts is potentially unlimited. Futures markets are highly volatile, and the use of futures contracts increases the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value. A liquid secondary
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
market may not exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time, and a Fund may be unable when it wishes to effect closing transactions to terminate its exposure under that contract. When a Fund uses futures contracts for hedging purposes, it runs the risk that changes in the prices of the contracts will not correlate perfectly with changes in the securities, index, or other asset underlying the contracts or movements in the prices of the Fund’s investments that are subject to the hedge. In addition, a Fund may be unable to recover or may be delayed in recovering margin or other amounts deposited with a futures commission merchant or futures clearinghouse. Foreign futures contracts are often less liquid and more volatile than U.S. futures contracts.
• CURRENCY RISK. Fluctuations in exchange rates can adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s foreign currency holdings and investments denominated in foreign currencies.
• CREDIT RISK. A Fund runs the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment or the obligors of obligations underlying an asset-backed security will be unable or unwilling to satisfy their obligations to pay principal and interest or otherwise to honor their obligations in a timely manner. The market price of a fixed income investment will normally decline as a result of the failure of an issuer, guarantor, or obligor to meet its payment obligations or in anticipation of such failure. Below investment grade investments have speculative characteristics, and negative changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to impair the ability of issuers of those investments to make principal and interest payments than issuers of investment grade investments.
• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of derivatives, short sales and securities lending creates leverage. Leverage increases a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio will be leveraged if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption, and losses will result if the value of the Fund’s assets declines between the time a redemption request is deemed to be received by the Fund and the time the Fund liquidates assets to meet that request.
• COMMODITIES RISK. Commodity prices can be extremely volatile, and exposure to commodities can cause the value of a Fund’s shares to decline or fluctuate in a rapid and unpredictable manner.
• COUNTERPARTY RISK. A Fund runs the risk that the counterparty to a derivatives contract, a clearing member used by the Fund to hold a cleared derivatives contract, or a borrower of the Fund’s securities is unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments, return the Fund’s margin or otherwise honor its obligations.
• FUND OF FUNDS RISK. A Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment (if any) in its wholly-owned subsidiary and the underlying funds (including underlying GMO Funds and ETFs) in which it invests, including the risk that its wholly-owned subsidiary (if any) and those underlying funds will not perform as expected. Because a Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests, the increase in fees and expenses of an underlying fund or a reallocation of the Fund’s investments to underlying funds with higher fees or expenses will increase the Fund’s total expenses.
• ILLIQUIDITY RISK. Low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions may limit or prevent a Fund or an underlying fund from selling particular securities or closing derivative positions at desirable prices.
• EVENT-DRIVEN RISK. If a Fund purchases securities in anticipation of a proposed merger, acquisition, exchange offer, tender offer, or other similar transaction and that transaction later appears likely to be delayed or unlikely to be consummated or, in fact, is not consummated or is delayed, the market price of the securities purchased by the Fund may decline sharply, resulting in losses to the Fund. The risk/reward payout of event-driven strategies (such as merger arbitrage) typically is asymmetric, with the losses in failed transactions often far exceeding the gains in successful transactions. Event-driven strategies are subject to the risk of overall market movements, and a Fund may experience losses even if a transaction is consummated. A Fund’s investments in derivatives or short sales of securities to hedge or otherwise adjust investment exposure in connection with an event-driven transaction may not perform as expected or may otherwise reduce the Fund’s gains or increase its losses.
• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. Geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, pandemics, sanctions, terrorism) may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Those events, as well as other changes in non-U.S. and U.S. economic and political conditions, could exacerbate other risks or otherwise reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.
In late February 2022, Russia began an invasion of Ukraine. Following such invasion, the United States, the European Union, and other countries and entities imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia, the President of Russia and other members of the Government of Russia as well as entities owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, the Government of Russia. The Government of Russia has

also imposed countersanctions and taken other actions in response to the sanctions. The scope and scale of the sanctions may be expanded and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may further deteriorate. These sanctions and current environment could impair the ability of the Funds to buy, sell, hold, receive, deliver or otherwise transact in certain securities and other instruments. The full impact of the sanctions and the conflict on the Funds, the financial markets and the global economy is not yet known.
• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, lack the competitive strength of larger companies, have less experienced managers or depend on a few key employees. The securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations.
• MARKET RISK – ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. The market price of asset-backed securities, like that of other fixed income investments with complex structures, can decline for a variety of reasons, including market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. Payment streams associated with asset-backed securities held by a Fund depend on many factors (e.g., the cash flow generated by the assets backing the securities, deal structure, creditworthiness of any credit-support provider, and reliability of various other service providers with access to the payment stream), and a problem in any of these factors can lead to a reduction in the payment stream GMO expected a Fund to receive when the Fund purchased the asset-backed security.
• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Investments focused in asset classes, countries, regions, sectors, industries, currencies or issuers (or in sectors within a country or region) that are subject to the same or similar risk factors and investments whose prices are closely correlated are subject to greater overall risk than investments that are more diversified or whose prices are not as closely correlated.
• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will require the Fund to sell securities at disadvantageous prices, disrupt the Fund’s operations, or force the Fund’s liquidation.
| • | | NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. Alternative Allocation Fund and SGM Major Markets Fund are non-diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act and therefore a decline in the market price of a particular security held by the Funds may affect the Funds’ performance more than if the Funds were a diversified investment company. |
4. | Derivative financial instruments |
During the year ended February 28, 2022, only Alternative Allocation Fund, Benchmark-Free Fund, Implementation Fund, SGM Major Markets Fund, and Strategic Opportunities Allocation Fund held derivative financial instruments directly. For a listing of derivative financial instruments, if any, held by the underlying funds, please refer to the underlying funds’ Schedule of Investments. The derivative information provided below only pertains to direct investments made by Alternative Allocation Fund, Benchmark-Free Fund, Implementation Fund, SGM Major Markets Fund and Strategic Opportunities Allocation Fund (or their respective wholly-owned subsidiary, if any).
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, that are used to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of a Fund’s portfolio. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap contracts, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.
Consolidated Alternative Allocation Fund may use derivatives in some or all of the ways described below.
Use of Derivatives by Benchmark-Free Fund, Consolidated Implementation Fund and Strategic Opportunities Allocation Fund
The Funds may use derivatives to gain long or short investment exposure to securities, commodities or other assets. For example, a Fund may use derivatives instead of investing directly in equity securities, including using equity derivatives to maintain equity exposure when it holds cash by “equitizing” its cash balances using futures contracts or other types of derivatives. The Funds also may use exchange-traded futures and forward foreign exchange contracts to gain exposure to a range of global equity, bond, currency, and commodity markets and may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap contracts and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.
GMO Trust Funds
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
The Funds may use derivatives such as futures, options, and swap contracts, in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). A Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce (which may result in a reduction below zero) some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Funds may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that GMO believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency. Implementation Fund uses exchange-traded futures and forward contracts as an integral part of its investment program.
The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of their investment exposures to individual commodities, various securities, sectors, markets, indices and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if a Fund holds a large proportion of a certain type of security or commodity and GMO believes that another security or commodity will outperform such security or commodity, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index(to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). Long and short swap contracts and contracts for differences also may be used for these purposes. Derivatives used to effect synthetic sales and purchases will generally be unwound as actual portfolio securities are sold and purchased. In adjusting investment exposures, each Fund also may use currency derivatives, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by its portfolio. Each Fund’s foreign currency exposure may differ significantly from the currency exposure represented by its investments.
The Funds may use derivatives to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.
Each of the Funds is not limited in its use of derivatives or in the total notional value of its derivative positions. As a result of their derivative positions, the Funds may have gross investment exposures in excess of their net assets (i.e. the Funds may be leveraged) and therefore are subject to heightened risk of loss. Each Fund’s performance can depend substantially, if not primarily, on the performance of assets or indices underlying its derivatives even though it does not own those assets or indices.
Use of Derivatives by Consolidated SGM Major Markets Fund
The Fund may use derivatives to gain long and/or short investment exposure to securities, currencies, commodities, or other assets. In particular, the Fund may use exchange traded futures and forward foreign exchange contracts to gain exposure to a range of global equity, bond, currency, and commodity markets. The Fund also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap contracts and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.
The Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust its investment exposures. For example, the Fund may use credit default swaps to take a short position with respect to the likelihood of default by an issuer. The Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce (which may result in a reduction below zero) some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that GMO believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

Long and short swap contracts and contracts for differences also may be used for these purposes. Derivatives used to effect synthetic sales and purchases will generally be unwound as actual portfolio securities are sold and purchased. In addition, GMO may alter the interest rate exposure of debt instruments by employing interest rate swaps. Such a strategy is designed to maintain the Fund’s exposure to the credit of an issuer through the debt instrument but adjust the Fund’s interest rate exposure through the swap. With these swaps, the Fund and its counterparties exchange interest rate exposure, such as fixed versus variable rates and shorter duration versus longer duration exposure. In adjusting its investment exposure, the Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust its currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currencies in which their equities are traded.
The Fund is not limited in its use of derivatives or in the total notional value of its derivative positions. As a result of its derivative positions, the Fund will typically have gross investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e. the Fund will be leveraged) and therefore is subject to heightened risk of loss.

February 28, 2022
Certain derivatives transactions that may be used by the Funds, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default index swaps, are required to be transacted through a central clearing organization. The Funds hold cleared derivatives transactions, if any, through clearing members, who are members of derivatives clearing houses. Certain other derivatives, including futures and certain options, are transacted on exchanges. The Funds hold exchange-traded derivatives through clearing brokers that are typically members of the exchanges. In contrast to bilateral derivatives transactions, following a period of advance notice to the Fund, clearing brokers generally can require termination of existing cleared or exchange-traded derivatives transactions at any time and increases in margin above the margin that it required at the beginning of a transaction. Clearing houses and exchanges also have broad rights to increase margin requirements for existing transactions and to terminate transactions. Any such increase or termination could interfere with the ability of a Fund to pursue its investment strategy. Also, a Fund is subject to execution risk if it enters into a derivatives transaction that is required to be cleared (or that GMO expects to be cleared), and no clearing member is willing or able to clear the transaction on the Fund’s behalf. In that case, the transaction might have to be terminated, and the Fund could lose some or all of the benefit of any increase in the value of the transaction after the time of the transaction.
The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investment and other risks” above for further information.

Forward currency contracts
The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market price of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked-to-market daily using rates supplied by a

quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was settled.
These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose a Fund to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts
The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (and if the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin as recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Options
The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. “Quanto” options are cash-settled options in which the underlying asset (often an index) is denominated in a currency other than the currency in which the option is settled. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium, if any, which is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The Funds may write (i.e. sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
When an option contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of

investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
In a credit linked option contract, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the option to exercise a contract where the buyer has the right to receive a specified return if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities and a specified decrease in the value of the related collateral occurs. A writer of a credit linked option receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay an agreed-upon value to the other party if they exercise their option in the case of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligation and will keep the premiums received.
Swap contracts
The Funds may directly or indirectly use various swap contracts, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, total return swaps, interest rate swaps, basis swaps, currency swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps, municipal swaps, dividend swaps, volatility swaps, correlation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap contract is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap contracts are net settled. When entering into a swap contract and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.
Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap contract are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap contract and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap contract is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. The periodic frequency of payments received may differ from periodic payment frequencies made and their frequencies could be monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually or at maturity.
Interest rate swap contracts involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or rights to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal). Basis swaps are interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of two floating interest rate payments and may involve the exchange of two different currencies.
Inflation swaps involve the exchange of a floating rate linked to an index for a fixed rate interest payment with respect to a notional amount or principal.
Total return swap contracts involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or futures contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.
In a credit default swap contract, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.
For credit default swap contracts on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap contracts on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.
Correlation swaps involve receiving a stream of payments based on the actual average correlation between or among the price movements of two or more underlying variables over a period of time, in exchange for making a regular stream of payments based on a fixed “strike” correlation level (or vice versa), where both payment streams are based on a notional amount. The underlying variables may include, without limitation, commodity prices, exchange rates, interest rates and stock indices.
GMO Trust Funds

Variance swap contracts involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.
Forward starting dividend swap contracts involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or rights to receive the changes in a dividend index point. A Fund gains exposure by either paying or receiving an amount in respect of an increase or decrease in the change of the relevant dividend index point based on a notional amount. For example, if a Fund took a long position on a dividend index swap, the Fund would receive payments if the relevant index point increased in value and would be obligated to pay if that index point decreased in value.
Future swap contracts involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or rights to receive the changes in an index. The Fund gains exposure by either paying or receiving an amount in respect of an increase or decrease in the change of the index based on a notional amount. For example, if the Fund took a long position on a future swap, the Fund would receive payments if the relevant index increased in value and would be obligated to pay if that index decreased in value.
Generally, the Funds price their OTC swap contracts daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors and record the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Gains or losses are realized upon the termination of the swap contracts or reset dates, as appropriate. Cleared swap contracts are valued using the quote (which may be based on a model) published by the relevant clearing house. If an updated quote for a cleared swap contract is not available by the time that a Fund calculates its net asset value on any business day, then that swap contract will generally be valued using an industry standard model, which may differ from the model used by the relevant clearing house.
The values assigned to swap contracts may differ significantly from the values realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap contracts involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the value assigned to the swap contract. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap contracts outstanding at the end of the year, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As provided by U.S. GAAP, the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.

| ^ | Because the Funds recognize changes in value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these tables. |
| ¤ | The table includes cumulative unrealized appreciation/depreciation of futures and value of cleared swap contracts, if any, as reported in the Schedule of Investments. Year end variation margin on open futures and cleared swap contracts, if any, is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. |
Certain Funds are party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements, Global Master Repurchase Agreements, Master Securities Loan Agreements or other similar types of agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) that generally govern the terms of OTC derivative transactions, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and securities loans. The Master Agreements may include collateral posting terms and set-off provisions that apply in the event of a default and/or termination event. Upon the occurrence of such an event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty, the Master Agreements may permit the non-defaulting party to calculate a single net payment to close out applicable transactions. However, there is no guarantee that the terms of a Master Agreement will be enforceable; for example, when bankruptcy or insolvency laws impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset. Additionally, the set-off and netting provisions of a Master Agreement may not extend to the obligations of the counterparty’s affiliates or across varying types of transactions. Because no such event has occurred, the Funds do not presently have a legally enforceable right of set-off and these amounts have not been offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, but have been presented separately in the table below. Termination events may also include a decline in the net assets of a Fund below a certain level over a specified period of time and may entitle a counterparty to elect an early termination of all the transactions under the Master Agreement with that counterparty. Such an election by one or more of the counterparties could have a material adverse impact on a Fund’s operations. An estimate of the aggregate net payment, if any, that may need to be paid by a Fund (or may be received by a Fund) in such an event is represented by the Net Amounts in the tables below. For more information about other uncertainties and risks, see “Investments and other risks” above.

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
February 28, 2022
For financial reporting purposes, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities any cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds is reported as Due from broker and any cash collateral received from the counterparty is reported as Due to broker. Any non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds is noted in the Schedules of Investments. The tables below show the potential effect of netting arrangements made available by the Master Agreements on the financial position of the Funds. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities generally show derivative assets and derivative liabilities (regardless of whether they are subject to netting arrangements) on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures of the Fund prior to netting. See Note 2 for information on repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and securities loans held by the Funds at February 28, 2022, if any.
The tables above present the Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities by type of financial instrument. The following tables present the Funds’ OTC and/or exchange-traded derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts that may be available for offset under the Master Agreements by the terms of the agreement and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Funds as of February 28, 2022:

In addition, each class of shares of certain Funds pays GMO directly or indirectly a shareholder service or supplemental support fee. Shareholder service fees are paid to GMO for providing client services and reporting, such as performance information, client account information, personal and electronic access to Fund information, access to analysis and explanations of Fund reports, and assistance in maintaining and correcting client-related information. Class MF shares of Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund are subject to a supplemental support fee payable to GMO for providing supplemental support services to Class MF shareholders and their investment advisers. Those supplemental support services include, without limitation, (i) providing and presenting (a) educational and

explanatory information about the Fund and its asset allocation strategy as requested or directed by an investor or its investment adviser; (b) similar educational and explanatory information about the strategies of the GMO Funds in which the Fund invests; (c) information for inclusion in the quarterly or other periodic reports of the investor; (ii) responding to information requests relating to oversight functions of the investor’s board of directors in areas including pricing, compliance, and taxation; (iii) providing access to and setting up meetings with GMO’s Chief Investment Strategist and Head of GMO’s Asset Allocation Team and other investment professionals of GMO; (iv) assisting with inquiries from an investor’s investment adviser; and (v) providing such other assistance as may be requested from time to time by an investor or its agent, so long as that assistance is not primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares.
Shareholder service and/or supplemental support fees are paid monthly at the annual rate equal to the percentage of each applicable Class’s average daily net assets set forth in the table below:

For certain Funds above, GMO does not charge the Fund a management fee or shareholder service fee, but it receives management and/or shareholder service fees from the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Because those fees vary from fund to fund, the levels of indirect net expenses set forth below are affected by GMO’s asset allocation decisions.
For each Fund, other than Alternative Allocation Fund, GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for its “Specified Operating Expenses” (as defined below).
Subject to the exclusions noted below, “Specified Operating Expenses” means: audit expenses, fund accounting expenses, pricing service expenses, expenses of non-investment related tax services, transfer agency expenses (excluding, in the case of Class I shares, any amounts paid for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of Class I shareholders), expenses of non-investment related legal services provided to the Funds by or at the direction of GMO, organizational and start-up expenses, federal securities law filing expenses, printing expenses, state and federal registration fees and custody expenses. In the case of Benchmark-Free Fund, “Specified Operating Expenses” does not include the Fund’s direct custody expenses attributable to its holdings of emerging market securities.
For Alternative Allocation Fund (the “Fund), GMO has contractually agreed to waive its fees with respect to and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (after applying all other contractual and voluntary expense limitation arrangements in effect at the time) exceed the following amounts for each class of shares, in each case representing the average daily net assets for the indicated class of shares: 0.99% for Class II shares; 0.92% for Class III shares; 0.875% for Class IV shares; 0.855% for Class V shares; 0.825% for Class VI shares; 0.99% for Class R6 shares; and 0.99% for Class I shares (each, an “Expense Cap”). Fees and expenses of the “non-interested” Trustees and legal counsel and independent compliance consultant to the “non-interested” Trustees, investment-related costs (such as brokerage commissions, interest, and acquired fund fees and expenses), payments out of assets attributable to Class I shares for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries, taxes, litigation and indemnification expenses, judgments, and other extraordinary or non-recurring expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business (collectively, “Excluded Expenses”), are excluded from the Expense Cap. GMO is permitted to recover from the Fund, on a class-by-class basis, expenses it has borne or reimbursed pursuant to an Expense Cap (whether through reduction of its fees or otherwise) to the extent that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (excluding Excluded Expenses) later fall below that Expense Cap set forth above or any lower expense limit in effect when GMO seeks to recover the expenses. The Fund, however, is not obligated to pay any such amount more than three years after GMO bore or reimbursed an expense. Any such recovery will not cause the Fund to exceed the Expense Caps set forth above or any lower expense limits as is in effect at the time GMO seeks to recover expenses. GMO also has contractually agreed to waive or reduce the Fund’s management fees and shareholder service fees to the extent necessary to offset the management fees and shareholder service fees paid to GMO that are directly or indirectly borne by the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund as a result of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in other series of GMO Trust (“GMO Funds”). Management fees and shareholder service fees will not be waived below

zero. The reimbursement and waiver arrangements described above, including the Expense Cap, will remain in effect through at least June 30, 2022 and may not be terminated prior to this date without the action or consent of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
For each Fund, other than Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund, that pays GMO a management fee and shareholder service fee, GMO has contractually agreed to waive or reduce the Fund’s management fees and shareholder service fees to the extent necessary to offset the management fees and shareholder service fees paid to GMO that are directly or indirectly borne by the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund as a result of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in other series of GMO Trust (“GMO Funds”). Management fees and shareholder service fees will not be waived below zero.
These contractual waivers and reimbursements will continue through at least June 30, 2022 for each Fund unless the Funds’ Board of Trustees authorizes their modification or termination or reduces the fee rates paid to GMO under the Fund’s management contract or servicing and supplemental support agreement.
For Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund only, GMO has contractually agreed to waive or reduce the Fund’s management, shareholder service, and supplemental support fees to the extent necessary to offset the management fees and shareholder service fees paid to GMO that are directly or indirectly borne by the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund as a result of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in other series of GMO Trust. In addition, GMO has contractually agreed to reduce the rate of the supplemental support fees charged to the Fund’s Class MF shares based on the net assets attributable to Class MF shares as of the last business day of the preceding month based on the following schedule: 0.10% on the first $6 billion of net assets, 0.05% on the next $2 billion, 0.03% on the next $2 billion, and 0.01% thereafter; provided, however, that the effective rate charged at any time will not be reduced to less than 0.06% of Class MF’s average daily net assets. The rate will be calculated before giving effect to any reduction or waiver described above, and any applicable reduction or waiver will serve to further reduce the supplemental support fees paid to GMO. This reduction will continue through at least June 30, 2022, and may not be terminated prior to this date without the action or consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
GMO has contractually agreed to reimburse Class I assets of each Fund (or waive its fees) to the extent that payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries from Class I assets exceed 0.10% of such Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class I assets.
Sub-Transfer Agent/Recordkeeping Payments
Class II, III, IV, V, VI, MF and R6 shares are not subject to payments to third parties for sub-transfer agent/recordkeeping and other administrative services. GMO may, on a case-by-case basis, make payments for sub-transfer agent, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of shareholders of these classes. Any such payments are made by GMO out of its own resources and are not an additional charge to a Fund or the holders of Class II, III, IV, V, VI, MF or Class R6 shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing a financial intermediary to recommend a Fund over another investment.
Class I shares are subject to payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries for the benefit of holders of Class I shares through an account maintained by a third-party platform or intermediary. These services are not primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares but instead to provide ongoing services with respect to holders of Class I shares through a third-party platform or intermediary. Because payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services are paid out of a Fund’s Class I assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of an investment in Class I shares. In addition, GMO may, on a case-by-case basis, make payments for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries with respect to shareholders of Class I shares. Any such payments will be made by GMO out of its own resources and will not be an additional charge to a Fund or the holders of Class I shares. Any such payments will create a conflict of interest by influencing a financial intermediary to recommend a Fund over another investment.

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, GMO is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.

Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of GMO Alternative Allocation Fund, GMO Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund, GMO Benchmark-Free Fund, GMO Global Asset Allocation Fund, GMO Global Developed Equity Allocation Fund, GMO Global Equity Allocation Fund, GMO Implementation Fund, GMO International Developed Equity Allocation Fund, GMO International Equity Allocation Fund, GMO SGM Major Markets Fund, and GMO Strategic Opportunities Allocation Fund (eleven of the funds constituting GMO Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended February 28, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2022, 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 February 28, 2022, 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 February 28, 2022 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 February 28, 2022 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.

As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including direct and/or indirect management fees, direct and/or indirect shareholder services fees, and supplemental support fees to Class MF 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.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, September 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022.
Actual Expenses
This section of the table for each class below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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, a $10,000,000 account value divided by $1,000 = 10,000), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section of the table for each class below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio 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 with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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. Therefore, this section 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.

Trustees and Officers (Unaudited)
The following tables present information regarding each Trustee and officer of the Trust as of February 28, 2022. Each Trustee’s and officer’s year of birth (“YOB”) is set forth after his or her name. Unless otherwise noted, (i) each Trustee and officer has engaged in the principal occupation(s) noted in the table for at least the most recent five years, although not necessarily in the same capacity, and (ii) the address of each Trustee and officer is c/o GMO Trust, 40 Rowes Wharf, Boston, MA 02110. Each Trustee serves in office until the earlier of (a) the election and qualification of a successor at the next meeting of shareholders called to elect Trustees or (b) the Trustee dies, resigns, or is removed as provided in the Trust’s governing documents. Each of the Trustees of the Trust, other than Mr. Feigelson, is not an “interested person” of the Trust, as such term is used in the 1940 Act (each, an “Independent Trustee”).

Each officer serves in office until his or her successor is elected and determined to be qualified to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the office, or until the officer resigns or is removed from office.

AR-022822-AA
Item 2. Code of Ethics.
As of February 28, 2022, the registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Code of Ethics”). During the year ended February 28, 2022 there were no substantive amendments to a provision of the Code of Ethics nor were there any waivers granted from a provision of the Code of Ethics. A copy of the Code of Ethics is filed with this Form N-CSR under item 12 (a).
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the registrant does not have an “audit committee financial expert” (as such term has been defined in Form N-CSR) serving on its audit committee. The registrant’s Board believes that, although none of its members individually meets all required elements of the definition of an “audit committee financial expert”, the members of the registrant’s audit committee collectively possess the knowledge and experience necessary to execute all of the audit committee’s functions, duties and powers.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services. *
| (a) | AUDIT FEES: The aggregate fees billed to the registrant for professional services rendered by its independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements for 2022 and 2021 were $1,438,194 and $1,379,851, respectively. |
| (b) | AUDIT-RELATED FEES: The aggregate fees billed to the registrant in 2022 and 2021 for engagements for audit-related services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds were $31,227 and $107,695, respectively. The aggregate fees billed in 2022 and 2021 to the registrant’s Investment Advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled, or under common control with the Advisor that provides ongoing services to the Funds (each, a “Service Affiliate”) for engagements for audit-related services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds were $336,225 and $394,551, respectively. |
| (c) | TAX FEES: The aggregate fees billed to the registrant in 2022 and 2021 for professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including the preparation of Form 1120 RIC, Form 8613 and review of excise tax distribution calculations, were $544,982 and $517,625, respectively. The aggregate fees billed in 2022 and 2021 to the registrant’s Service Affiliates for engagements for tax services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds were $0 and $0, respectively. |
| (d) | ALL OTHER FEES: No such fees were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the registrant or to the registrant’s Service Affiliates that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds in 2022 or 2021. |
| (e) | (1) The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services to be performed by the independent auditor are to be preapproved. Under the Policy, the Audit Committee pre-approves, on an annual basis, the following services: (1) the engagement, scope and terms of the annual audit; (2) certain audit-related services; (3) certain tax services that the Committee believes would not impair, and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence; and (4) certain permissible non-audit services that the Committee believes are routine and recurring services and that would not impair, and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, subject to certain limitations on the projected fees associated with each service. All other types of services not included on the schedule to the policy, or for which the projected fees exceed those provided in the schedule, require the specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or the Chairperson of the Committee (if timing necessitates that preapproval is required before the Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting) if they are to be provided by the independent auditor. |
| (g) | NON-AUDIT FEES: The aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in 2022 and 2021 for non-audit services rendered to the registrant and the registrant’s Service Affiliates were $947,435 and $1,054,871, respectively. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b), (c), (d), plus $35,000 in fees billed to the Funds’ Service Affiliates for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $35,000 in fees billed to the Funds’ Service Affiliates for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. |
| (h) | The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm to the registrant’s Investment Advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled, or under common control with the Advisor that provided ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant) was compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. |
