PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Structured Large Cap Value Fund
Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund during the one-year reporting period that ended August 31, 2006.
Performance Review
Over the one-year period that ended August 31, 2006, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 13.43%, 12.56%, 12.66%, 13.92% and 13.35%, respectively. These returns compare to the 13.96% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. | |
While the Fund generated solid returns during the period, it lagged its benchmark. Among the investment themes, Analyst Sentiment detracted from excess returns for the period, as stocks that have become increasingly positive in the eyes of sell-side research analysts underperformed. In contrast, returns to other investment themes were positive overall during the reporting period. Management Impact and Momentum were the biggest positive contributors to relative returns. Earnings Quality and Valuation also enhanced results, as did Profitability, albeit less significantly. |
Portfolio Management Process
We calculate expected returns on over 3,000 U.S. stocks on a daily basis. The stocks we select for our portfolios are determined using proprietary models developed by the Quantitative Equity team. Our models are based on six investment themes: | |
The Valuation theme attempts to identify stocks that we believe are not appropriately priced by the market, by typically comparing a company’s intrinsic, or underlying value, to its current market price. Momentum attempts to predict a change in a stock caused by an under-reaction to company-specific information. Analyst Sentiment looks at how the views of Wall Street analysts about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time. Profitability assesses whether the company has good profit margins and operating efficiency. Earnings Quality evaluates what percentage of a company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accounting accruals, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventories, future tax liability and future interest expenses. Finally, Management Impact assesses a company’s management strategy and behavior. | |
These themes are generally a composite of a number of factors, which are computed on an industry-neutral basis, so that individual stocks are evaluated relative to their industry peers. The six themes have been selected because we believe they: | |
n Offer fundamental investment appeal, | |
n Demonstrate a statistically significant ability to forecast returns, and | |
n Work well in a variety of market environments and across different types of stocks. |
2
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
In addition, since the correlation between these themes is low, each brings new information to the overall evaluation of a stock’s attractiveness and contributes to a better buy/sell decision. The weights on the six investment themes vary depending on their expected returns and risk and diversification benefits, along with their anticipated impact on portfolio turnover. Theme weights are updated daily to reflect current market conditions. |
Portfolio Positioning
In managing the Structured products, we take minimal size and sector bets. We strive to add value versus each Fund’s respective index through individual stock selection. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive and companies with strong profit margins and sustainable earnings that use their capital to enhance shareholder value. Over the long term, these factors have contributed positively to the Fund’s returns, and they typically work well at various times and under different market environments. |
Portfolio Highlights
Stock selection was positive overall among sectors during the reporting period. The Fund’s holdings in the Industrials and Information Technology sectors contributed the most to relative performance over the period. In contrast, holdings in the Financials sector detracted the most from relative performance. In terms of individual stocks, overweights in Archer-Daniels- Midland Co. and Monsanto Co. were the largest contributors to relative returns during the period. In contrast, an underweight in BellSouth Corp. and an overweight in UnionBanCal Corp. detracted from Fund performance the most during the period. |
Outlook
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones and good momentum stocks should do better than poor momentum stocks. We also prefer companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and firms that are profitable, have sustainable earnings, and use their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested and expect that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection as opposed to sector or size allocations. | |
We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. | |

Structured U.S. Equity Fund
Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund during the one-year reporting period that ended August 31, 2006.
Performance Review
Over the one-year period that ended August 31, 2006, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.51%, 8.72%, 8.73%, 9.97% and 9.39%, respectively. These returns compare to the 8.88% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. | |
The returns to the investment themes were positive overall during the reporting period. Momentum was the largest positive contributor to relative returns as companies with strong momentum characteristics outperformed their industry counterparts. Other themes that enhanced results were Valuation, Management Impact, and Earnings Quality. Profitability also added value, albeit less significantly. On the downside, Analyst Sentiment was the only theme to detract from excess returns for the period, as stocks that have become increasingly positive in the eyes of the sell-side research analysts underperformed. |
Portfolio Management Process
We calculate expected returns on over 3,000 U.S. stocks on a daily basis. The stocks we select for our portfolios are determined using proprietary models developed by the Quantitative Equity team. Our models are based on six investment themes: | |
The Valuation theme attempts to identify stocks that we believe are not appropriately priced by the market, by typically comparing a company’s intrinsic, or underlying value, to its current market price. Momentum attempts to predict a change in a stock caused by an under-reaction to company-specific information. Analyst Sentiment looks at how the views of Wall Street analysts about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time. Profitability assesses whether the company has good profit margins and operating efficiency. Earnings Quality evaluates what percentage of a company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accounting accruals, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventories, future tax liability and future interest expenses. Finally, Management Impact assesses a company’s management strategy and behavior. | |
These themes are generally a composite of a number of factors, which are computed on an industry-neutral basis, so that individual stocks are evaluated relative to their industry peers. The six themes have been selected because we believe they: |
n | Offer fundamental investment appeal, |
n | Demonstrate a statistically significant ability to forecast returns, and |
n | Work well in a variety of market environments and across different types of stocks. |

In addition, since the correlation between these themes is low, each brings new information to the overall evaluation of a stock’s attractiveness and contributes to a better buy/sell decision. The weights on the six investment themes vary depending on their expected returns and risk and diversification benefits, along with their anticipated impact on portfolio turnover.

Over the long term, these factors have contributed positively to the Fund’s returns, and they typically work well at various times and under different market environments. |
Portfolio Highlights
Stock selection was positive overall among sectors during the reporting period, most notably in the Information Technology sector. On the downside, the Fund’s holdings in the Telecommunications Services sector detracted the most from relative performance. In terms of individual stocks, overweights in Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. and Monsanto Co. were the largest contributors to relative performance during the period, while overweights in Johnson & Johnson and Intel Corp. detracted from Fund performance the most during the period. |
Outlook
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones and good momentum stocks should do better than poor momentum stocks. We also prefer companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and firms that are profitable, have sustainable earnings, and use their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested and expect that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection as opposed to sector or size allocations. | |

Structured Large Cap Growth Fund
Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund during the one-year reporting period that ended August 31, 2006.
Performance Review
Over the one-year period that ended August 31, 2006, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 5.21%, 4.40%, 4.49%, 5.66% and 5.39%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.68% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. | |
Over the reporting period, returns to the investment themes were positive overall. Valuation was the largest positive contributor to relative returns, as inexpensive companies outperformed their more richly valued industry counterparts. Other themes that enhanced results were Momentum, Management Impact and Earnings Quality. Profitability and Analyst Sentiment also added value for the period, albeit less significantly. |
Portfolio Management Process
We calculate expected returns on over 3,000 U.S. stocks on a daily basis. The stocks we select for our portfolios are determined using proprietary models developed by the Quantitative Equity team. Our models are based on six investment themes: | |
The Valuation theme attempts to identify stocks that we believe are not appropriately priced by the market, by typically comparing a company’s intrinsic, or underlying value, to its current market price. Momentum attempts to predict a change in a stock caused by an under-reaction to company-specific information. Analyst Sentiment looks at how the views of Wall Street analysts about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time. Profitability assesses whether the company has good profit margins and operating efficiency. Earnings Quality evaluates what percentage of a company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accounting accruals, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventories, future tax liability and future interest expenses. Finally, Management Impact assesses a company’s management strategy and behavior. | |
These themes are generally a composite of a number of factors, which are computed on an industry-neutral basis, so that individual stocks are evaluated relative to their industry peers. The six themes have been selected because we believe they: | |
n Offer fundamental investment appeal, | |
n Demonstrate a statistically significant ability to forecast returns, and | |
n Work well in a variety of market environments and across different types of stocks. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
In addition, since the correlation between these themes is low, each brings new information to the overall evaluation of a stock’s attractiveness and contributes to a better buy/sell decision. The weights on the six investment themes vary depending on their expected returns and risk and diversification benefits, along with their anticipated impact on portfolio turnover. Theme weights are updated daily to reflect current market conditions. |
Portfolio Positioning
In managing the Structured products, we take minimal size and sector bets. We strive to add value versus each Fund’s respective index through individual stock selection. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive and companies with strong profit margins and sustainable earnings that use their capital to enhance shareholder value. Over the long term, these factors have contributed positively to the Fund’s returns, and they typically work well at various times and under different market environments. |
Portfolio Highlights
Stock selection was positive overall among sectors during the reporting period. The Fund’s holdings in the Information Technology sector contributed the most to relative performance over the period. In contrast, holdings in the Health Care and Energy sectors detracted the most from relative performance. In terms of individual stocks, overweights in Archer-Daniels- Midland Co. and Google, Inc. were the largest contributors to relative returns during the period. In contrast, overweights in Starbucks Corp. and Comcast Corp. detracted from Fund performance during the period. |
Outlook
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones and good momentum stocks should do better than poor momentum stocks. We also prefer companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and firms that are profitable, have sustainable earnings, and use their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested and expect that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection as opposed to sector or size allocations. | |

Class A Share performance for such period is that of a predecessor separate account (which converted into Class A Shares) adjusted to reflect the higher fees and expenses applicable to the Fund’s Class A Shares. Although the predecessor separate account was managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management in a manner and pursuant to investment objectives in all material respects equivalent to management and investment objectives of the Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, the separate account was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”) and was not subject to certain investment restrictions imposed by the Act. If it had registered under the Act, performance might have been adversely affected. The fees applicable to Institutional and Service Shares are different from those applicable to Class A Shares, which impacts performance ratings and rankings for a class of shares. |
The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Equity Fund during the one-year reporting period that ended August 31, 2006.
Performance Review
Over the one-year period that ended August 31, 2006, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.42%, 1.66%, 1.65%, 2.77% and 2.30%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.36% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. | |
While our investment themes worked in general, it was difficult to capture their performance in the small cap sector of the market. Over much of the last year our themes worked well in an “ideal” environment; if we traded the portfolio every day and did not have to be concerned with or pay transaction costs we believe the Fund’s performance would have been closer to the performance of the Fund’s benchmark. An important part of our portfolio management process is being cognizant of potential transaction costs and attempting to minimize them, thus we only trade securities in the Fund’s portfolio if we expect a benefit to the portfolio’s expected return after accounting for the transactions costs. We also limit how much of the average daily volume we’re willing to trade, because trading more volume generally leads to higher transaction costs. These “constraints” were much more costly to the portfolio in the last 12 months than we would have expected, and their effect was not generally picked up by looking only at our theme returns. However, in August many of the factors on which we tilt in order to beat the index, such as price momentum and earnings response variables, also produced negative returns, and this hurt performance further. In fact, some of the factors had one of their worst months ever in August. It is unusual for so many of our factors to produce negative returns at the same time, and therefore we expect to see performance recover going forward. Additionally, from time to time we will experience periods where specific stock events negatively impact performance, though over time these occurrences tend to even out with periods of positive contributions. Over the current reporting period, situations that impacted the Fund’s returns included a variety of unfavorable earnings surprises; some of the underweight holdings were impacted by mergers and acquisitions activity; and large-scale reactions to news flows. As we expect the factors to work well over time, the impact of trading constraints to be smaller, and events such as earnings surprises to cancel out or contribute positively over time, we encourage our shareholders to continue to view their investment in the Fund and its performance with a longer-term outlook. |
Portfolio Management Process
We calculate expected returns on over 3,000 U.S. stocks on a daily basis. The stocks we select for our portfolios are determined using proprietary models developed by the Quantitative Equity team. Our models are based on six investment themes: | |
The Valuation theme attempts to identify stocks that we believe are not appropriately priced by the market, by typically comparing a company’s intrinsic, or underlying value, to its current market price. Momentum attempts to predict a change in a stock caused by an under-reaction to company-specific information. Analyst Sentiment looks at how the views of Wall Street analysts about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time. Profitability assesses whether the company has good profit margins and operating efficiency. Earnings Quality evaluates what percentage of a company’s earnings are coming |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accounting accruals, such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventories, future tax liability and future interest expenses. Finally, Management Impact assesses a company’s management strategy and behavior. | |
These themes are generally a composite of a number of factors, which are computed on an industry-neutral basis, so that individual stocks are evaluated relative to their industry peers. The six themes have been selected because we believe they: |
n | Offer fundamental investment appeal, |
n | Demonstrate a statistically significant ability to forecast returns, and |
n | Work well in a variety of market environments and across different types of stocks. |
In addition, since the correlation between these themes is low, each brings new information to the overall evaluation of a stock’s attractiveness and contributes to a better buy/sell decision. The weights on the six investment themes vary depending on their expected returns and risk and diversification benefits, along with their anticipated impact on portfolio turnover. Theme weights are updated daily to reflect current market conditions. |
Portfolio Positioning
In managing the Structured products, we take minimal size and sector bets. We strive to add value versus each Fund’s respective index through individual stock selection. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive and companies with strong profit margins and sustainable earnings that use their capital to enhance shareholder value. Over the long term, these factors have contributed positively to the Fund’s returns, and they typically work well at various times and under different market environments. |
Portfolio Highlights
Stock selection was negative overall among sectors during the reporting period. The Fund’s holdings in the Financials and Healthcare sectors detracted the most from relative performance over the period. In contrast, the Fund’s holdings in the Energy and Industrials sectors contributed the most to relative performance over the period. In terms of individual stocks, overweights in Stewart Information Services Corp. and Building Material Holding Corp. detracted the most from Fund performance during the period. In contrast, overweights in Veritas DGC, Inc. and WESCO International, Inc. were the largest contributors to relative returns for the period. |
Outlook
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones and good momentum stocks should do better than poor momentum stocks. We also prefer companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and firms that are profitable, have sustainable earnings, and use their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested and expect that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection as opposed to sector or size allocations. | |
We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. |

Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund during the one-year reporting period that ended August 31, 2006.
Performance Review
Over the one-year period that ended August 31, 2006, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 24.02%, 23.18%, 23.10%, 24.52% and 23.87%, respectively. These returns compare to the 24.78% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (unhedged, with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. | |
The Structured International Equity Fund is designed to add value through two uncorrelated sources of return: security selection and intentional country over- and underweights relative to the benchmark. During the 12-month reporting period, the Fund’s stock selection strategy contributed slightly to relative performance while the country selection strategy detracted from relative performance. |
Portfolio Management Process
We calculate expected returns on over 5,000 international stocks on a daily basis. The stocks we select for our portfolios are determined using proprietary models developed by the Quantitative Equity team. Our models are based on six investment themes: | |
The Valuation theme attempts to identify stocks that we believe are not appropriately priced by the market, by typically comparing a company’s intrinsic, or underlying value, to its current market price.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Portfolio Positioning
In managing the Structured International Equity Fund, we take minimal size and sector bets. We strive to add value versus the Fund’s index through stock and country selection. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks, countries, and currencies with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive and companies with strong profit margins and sustainable earnings that use their capital to enhance shareholder value. We also prefer countries and currencies that exhibit strong economic growth, countries with favorable risk/return tradeoffs, and currencies that are associated with positive expected fund flows. Over the long term, these factors have contributed positively to the Fund’s returns, and they typically work well at various times and under different market environments. |
Regional Allocations
In terms of countries, an overweight position in Netherlands and an underweight in Italy were the most successful for the period. On the downside, overweights in Norway and Hong Kong were the least successful positions over the reporting period. |
Sector Allocations
Our strategy is sector-neutral relative to the benchmark within countries. Any deviations in sector weights at the Fund level are the result of our country and stocks selection decisions. During the period, holdings in the Telecommunication Services sector contributed the most to relative performance. Conversely, holdings in the Industrials and Materials sectors lagged their peers in the benchmark the most. |
Stock Selection
Within countries, stock selection was the strongest in Austria and Italy. In contrast, stock selection was the weakest in Japan and Spain for the period. |
Outlook
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones and good momentum stocks should do better than poor momentum stocks. We also prefer companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and firms that are profitable, have sustainable earnings, and use their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested and expect that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection as opposed to sector or size allocations. | |
As always, we thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. | |

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED LARGE CAP VALUE FUND
Performance Summary
August 31, 2006
The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2006, of a $10,000 investment made on December 31, 1998 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV of the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index (with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class B, Class C and Service Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in fees and loads. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting a portfolio.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED U.S. EQUITY FUND
Performance Summary
August 31, 2006
The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2006, of a $10,000 investment made on September 1, 1996 in Class A Shares (including a maximum sales charge of 5.5%) of the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (with dividends reinvested) (“S&P 500 Index”), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service Shares will vary from Class A Shares due to differences in fees and loads. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting a portfolio.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND
Performance Summary
August 31, 2006
The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2006, of a $10,000 investment made on May 1, 1997 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV of the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Service Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in fees and loads. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting a portfolio.

For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class B, Class C and Service Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in fees and loads. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting a portfolio.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
Performance Summary
August 31, 2006
The following graph shows the value, as of August 31, 2006, of a $10,000 investment made on August 15, 1997 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV of the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (unhedged, with dividends reinvested) (“MSCI EAFE Index”), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class B, Class C and Service Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in fees and loads. In addition to the investment adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting a portfolio.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2006
1. ORGANIZATION |
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Structured Large Cap Value Fund, Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Structured Small Cap Equity Fund, and Structured International Equity Fund collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”. Each Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Funds are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Funds are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Funds are not subject to a sales charge. Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) as distributor of the Funds receives such sales loads of which a certain portion may be retained. Effective December 30, 2005, CORE Large Cap Value Fund, CORE U.S. Equity Fund, CORE Large Cap Growth Fund, CORE Small Cap Equity Fund and CORE International Equity Fund, changed their names to Structured Large Cap Value Fund, Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Structured Small Cap Equity Fund and the Structured International Equity Fund, respectively.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on the valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the investment adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
Investments in securities traded on foreign securities exchange are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates.
Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls and have delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Funds, which are subject to taxes.
56
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FUNDS
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds on a straight-line and/or “pro-rata” basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Funds bear all expenses and fees relating to their respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to their Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares of the Funds separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund and annually for all other Funds. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually for all Funds. Net capital losses are carried forward to future years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gain distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gains, or as a tax return of capital.
In addition, distributions paid by the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Funds as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, a REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the Funds’ distributions is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
E. Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investment valuations, foreign currency and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates; and (ii) purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions will represent: (i) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (ii) currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward exchange contracts; and (iii) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on securities and derivative instruments are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities and derivative instruments, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on securities and derivative instruments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases and decreases in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions.
F. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to segregate cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Funds, dependant on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for
57
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
August 31, 2006
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
G. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Funds may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
H. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Funds, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Funds’ custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other registered investment companies having management or investment advisory agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
3. AGREEMENTS |
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Funds. Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
58
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FUNDS
3. AGREEMENTS (continued) |
GSAM has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the Funds which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of December 29, 2005 to achieve the rates listed below.
Management Fee | Average Daily | |||||
Fund | Annual Rate | Net Assets | ||||
Structured Large Cap Value | 0.60 | % | First $1 Billion | |||
0.54 | Next $1 Billion | |||||
0.51 | Over $2 Billion | |||||
Structured U.S. Equity | 0.65 | First $1 Billion | ||||
0.59 | Next $1 Billion | |||||
0.56 | Over $2 Billion | |||||
Structured Large Cap Growth | 0.65 | First $1 Billion | ||||

0.77 | Over $2 Billion | |||||
Structured International Equity | 0.85 | First $1 Billion | ||||
0.77 | Next $1 Billion | |||||
0.73 | Over $2 Billion | |||||
Additionally, from the period from July 1, 2005 – December 29, 2005, GSAM voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its Management fees equal to 0.01% and 0.04% based on the average daily net assets of Structured Small Cap Equity and Structured International Equity, respectively. Effective December 29, 2005, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its Management fees equal to 0.09%, 0.14%, 0.14%, 0.04% and 0.04% based on the average daily net assets of Structured Large Cap Value, Structured U.S. Equity, Structured Large Cap Growth, Structured Small Cap Equity and Structured International Equity, respectively. As a result of these fee waivers, the Management fees for the first $1 billion of the average daily net assets of Structured Large Cap Value, Structured U.S. Equity, Structured Large Cap Growth and Structured International Equity are equal to 0.51%, 0.51%, 0.51% and 0.81%, respectively. The Management fee is equal to 0.81% for the first $2 billion of the average daily net assets of Structured Small Cap Equity as a result of fee waivers. Prior to December 29, 2005, the Management Fees for the Structured Large Cap Value, Structured U.S. Equity, Structured Large Cap Growth, Structured Small Cap Equity and the Structured International Funds as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets were 0.60%, 0.65%, 0.65%, 0.85% and 0.85%, respectively.
GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” (excluding Management fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Share fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Effective December 29, 2005, GSAM voluntarily agreed to limit certain Other Expenses of the Funds as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets to 0.004%. Prior to December 29, 2005, the Other Expense limitations for Structured Large Cap Value, Structured U.S. Equity, Structured Large Cap Growth, Structured Small Cap Equity and Structured International Equity were 0.064%, 0.004%, 0.024%, 0.044% and 0.124%, respectively. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and
59

3. AGREEMENTS (continued) |
account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.
Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. During the year ended August 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Funds that it retained the following approximate amounts:
Contingent Deferred | ||||||||||||
Sales Load | Sales Charge | |||||||||||
Fund | Class A | Class B | Class C | |||||||||
Structured Large Cap Value | $ | 159,000 | $ | 100 | $ | — | ||||||
Structured U.S. Equity | 56,400 | — | — | |||||||||
Structured Large Cap Growth | 21,600 | 500 | — | |||||||||
Structured Small Cap Equity | 44,900 | 200 | 300 | |||||||||
Structured International Equity | 241,300 | 200 | — | |||||||||
All classes of the Structured International Equity Fund charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. Redemption fees are reimbursed to the Fund and reflected as a reduction in share redemptions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Redemption fees are credited to Paid-in capital and are allocated to each share class of the Fund on a pro-rata basis at the time of payment.
Goldman Sachs also serves as the Transfer Agent of the Funds for a fee. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class B and Class C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.

5. SECURITIES LENDING |
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ security lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds bear the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
Both the Funds and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned by the Funds for the year ended August 31, 2006 are reported parenthetically under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations. The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced

The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Funds bear the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

6. LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY |
The Funds participate in a $400,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility together with other registered investment companies having management or investment advisory agreements with GSAM. Under the most restrictive arrangement, the Funds must own securities having a market value in excess of 300% of each Fund’s total bank borrowings. This facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The committed facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the year ended August 31, 2006, the Funds did not have any borrowings under this facility.

Legal Proceedings — Purported class and derivative action lawsuits were filed in April and May 2004 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GSG”), GSAM and certain related parties, including certain Goldman Sachs Funds including these Funds, and the Trustees and Officers of the Trust. In June 2004, these lawsuits were consolidated into one action and in November 2004 a consolidated and amended complaint was filed against GSG, GSAM, Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), Goldman Sachs and certain related parties including certain Goldman Sachs Funds and the Trustees and Officers of the Trust. These Funds, along with certain other investment portfolios of the Trust, were named as nominal defendants in the amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint on April 15, 2005. The second amended consolidated complaint alleges violations of the Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The complaint also asserts claims involving common law breach of
66
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FUNDS
8. OTHER MATTERS (continued) |
fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The complaint alleges, among other things, that between April 2, 1999 and January 9, 2004 (the “Class Period”), GSAM and other defendants made improper and excessive brokerage commission and other payments to brokers that sold shares of the Goldman Sachs Funds and omitted statements of fact in registration statements and reports filed pursuant to the Act which were necessary to prevent such registration statements and reports from being materially false and misleading. The complaint further alleges that the Goldman Sachs Funds paid excessive and improper advisory fees to Goldman Sachs. The complaint also alleges that GSAM and GSAMI used 12b-1 fees for improper purposes and made improper use of soft dollars. The complaint further alleges that the Trust’s Officers and Trustees breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the foregoing. On January 13, 2006, all claims against the defendants were dismissed by the U.S. District Court. On February 22, 2006, the plaintiffs appealed this decision. By agreement, plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their appeal without prejudice but reserved their right to reactivate their appeal pending a decision by the circuit court of appeals in similar litigation.
Based on currently available information, GSAM and GSAMI believe that the likelihood that the pending purported class and derivative action lawsuit will have a material adverse financial impact on the Funds is remote, and the pending action is not likely to materially affect their ability to provide investment management services to their clients, including the Goldman Sachs Funds.
New Accounting Pronouncements — On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB released Statement Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (“FAS 157”) Fair Value Measurement which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the potential effect of these fair valuations on an entity’s financial performance. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair valuation methods and applications. Adoption of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard is not expected to materially impact the Fund’s financial statements.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT |
Mergers and Reorganizations — At a meeting held on May 11, 2006, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) providing for the tax-free acquisition of the Goldman Sachs Research Select Fund by the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund. Following the approval of the Board of Trustees and shareholders of the Goldman Sachs Research Select Fund, the acquisition was completed on September 25, 2006.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Goldman Sachs Trust — Structured Equity Funds:
Goldman Sachs Trust — Structured Equity Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Structured Large Cap Value Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE Large Cap Value Fund), Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE US Equity Fund), Structured Large Cap Growth Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE Large Cap Growth Fund), Structured Small Cap Equity Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE Small Cap Equity Fund, and Structured International Equity Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE International Fund) (collectively “the Structured Equity Funds”), portfolios of the Goldman Sachs Trust, at August 31, 2006, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Structured Equity Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments owned at August 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional or Service Shares of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges (loads) on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares), and redemption fees (with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service Shares, if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service Shares of the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2006 through August 31, 2006.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account for this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
The Trustees oversee the management of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”), and review the investment performance and expenses of the investment funds covered by this Report (the “Funds”) at regularly scheduled meetings held during the Funds’ fiscal year. In addition, the Trustees determine annually whether to approve and continue the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) for the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved by the Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), on June 15, 2006 (the “Annual Contract Meeting”).
To assist the Trustees in their deliberations at the Annual Contract Meeting, and in addition to the reviews of the Funds’ investment performance, expenses and other matters at other regularly scheduled meetings, the Trustees have a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”) whose members include all of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held meetings on December 15, 2005, February 8, 2006 and May 10, 2006. At these Committee meetings, the Independent Trustees considered matters relating to the Management Agreement including: (a) the Funds’ investment performance; (b) the Funds’ management fee arrangements; (c) the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to reimburse certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels; (d) the Investment Adviser’s potential economies of scale and the breakpoints implemented in 2005 for the fees payable by the Funds under the Management Agreement; (e) the relative expense levels of the Funds; (f) information on the advisory fees charged by the Investment Adviser to institutional accounts; (g) the Investment Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Trust and the Funds; (h) the quality of the non-advisory services provided to the Funds; (i) the statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements; (j) an evaluation of the Trustees’ contract review process provided by an outside third party; and (k) information on the processes followed by the third party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the Trustees’ contract review (the “Outside Data Provider”) in producing investment performance and expense comparisons for the Funds.
At the Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees reviewed the matters that were considered at the Committee meetings and also considered additional matters including: (a) a summary of fee concessions by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Goldman Sachs mutual funds since 2003; (b) the quality of the Investment Adviser’s services; (c) the structure, staff and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; (d) the groups within the Investment Adviser that support the portfolio management teams, including the legal and compliance departments, the credit department, the valuation oversight group, the risk and performance analytics group, the business planning team and the technology group; (e) the Investment Adviser’s business continuity and disaster recovery planning; (f) the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and its ability to hire and retain talented personnel; (g) the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Funds for transfer agency, securities lending, distribution, portfolio brokerage and other services; (h) the terms of the Management Agreement; (i) the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement, including the nature and extent of the Investment Adviser’s oversight of the Funds’ other service providers including the custodian and fund accounting agent; and (j) the Investment Adviser’s policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest. At the Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees also considered at further length the Funds’ investment performance, fees and expenses, including the Funds’ expense trends over time and the breakpoints in the contractual fee rates under the Management Agreement that were approved in 2005.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
In connection with the Committee meetings and the Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities under applicable law. Also, in conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees attended other sessions at which the Trustees reviewed the commission rates paid by the Funds on brokerage transactions, the Investment Adviser’s receipt of research services in connection with those transactions, and the payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees by the Funds. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to the Funds’ portfolio turnover rates, revenue sharing by the Investment Adviser, portfolio manager compensation and the alignment of the interests of the Funds and the portfolio managers, the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and other matters. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions without employees of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
The presentations made at the Contract Review Committee meetings and at the Annual Contract Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual fund portfolios for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. While the Management Agreement for all of the Funds was approved at the same Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees considered the Management Agreement as it applied to each Fund separately.
In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser, its services and the Funds. At those meetings the Trustees received materials relating to the Investment Adviser’s investment management and other services under the Management Agreement, including: (a) information on the investment performance of the Funds in comparison to other mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; (b) general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Funds invest; (c) compliance reports; and (d) expenses borne by the Funds. In addition, the Trustees were provided with disclosure materials regarding the Goldman Sachs mutual funds and their expenses that were provided to investors who had invested in the funds, as well as information on the Goldman Sachs mutual funds’ competitive universe and discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to those investors.
In connection with their approval of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services, and the other, non-advisory services, that are provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. These services include services as the Funds’ transfer agent, securities lending agent and distributor. In addition, affiliates of the Investment Adviser receive compensation in connection with the execution of the Funds’ portfolio securities transactions and sales loads on the sale of certain classes of shares offered by the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser was both able to commit substantial financial and other resources to the operations of the Funds and had, in fact, continued to commit those resources in multiple areas including portfolio management, trading, technology, human resources, tax, treasury, legal, compliance, vendor oversight and risk management. The Trustees also believed that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser, including education and training initiatives.

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds and the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees compared the investment performance of the Funds to the performance of other SEC-registered funds and to rankings and ratings issued by the Outside Data Provider. The Trustees also reviewed the Funds’ investment performance relative to their respective performance benchmarks. This information on the Funds’ investment performance was provided for one, three, five and ten (where applicable) year periods. In addition, the Trustees considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of the Funds in light of their respective investment objectives and policies, as well as in light of periodic analyses of their respective quality and risk profiles. In addition, the Trustees considered whether the Funds had operated within their investment policies, and their record of compliance with their investment limitations. The Trustees believed that the Funds were providing investment performance within a competitive range for long-term investors.
The Board of Trustees also considered the contractual fee rates payable by the Funds under the Management Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds. They also considered information that indicated that these mutual fund services differed in various significant respects from the services provided to the Investment Adviser’s institutional accounts, which generally paid lower fees. In addition, the fees paid by the Funds and the Funds’ total operating expense ratios (before and after voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements) were compared to similar information for mutual funds advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. Most of the comparisons of the Funds’ fee rates and total operating expense ratios were prepared by the Outside Data Provider.
More particularly, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider of the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of the Funds’ management fees to relevant peer groups and category universes; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and a five-year history comparing each Fund’s expenses to a category average. The analyses also compared the Funds’ transfer agency fees, custody and accounting fees and other expenses to peer groups and medians. The Trustees believed that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees paid by the Fund. In addition, the Trustees noted the Investment Adviser’s voluntary undertaking to limit the Funds’ total expense ratios (excluding certain expenses) to specified levels. In addition, the Trustees noted the Investment Adviser’s voluntary waivers of a portion of its management fees for each of the Funds that were implemented at the beginning of the year.

The Board of Trustees also considered the reduction in the contractual fee rates payable by the Structured U.S. Equity Fund and Structured Large Cap Growth Fund under the Management Agreements that were approved by the Trustees in 2004, and the breakpoints in the contractual fee rates under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds that were approved in 2005, which had been implemented at the following annual percentages of the average daily net assets of the respective Funds:
Management Fee | Average Daily | |||||||
Fund | Annual Rate | Net Assets | ||||||
Structured Large Cap Value Fund | 0.60 | % | First $1 Billion | |||||
0.54 | Next $1 Billion | |||||||
0.51 | Over $2 Billion | |||||||
Structured U.S. Equity Fund | 0.65 | First $1 Billion | ||||||
0.59 | Next $1 Billion | |||||||
0.56 | Over $2 Billion | |||||||
Structured Large Cap Growth Fund | 0.65 | First $1 Billion | ||||||
0.59 | Next $1 Billion | |||||||
0.56 | Over $2 Billion | |||||||
Structured Small Cap Equity Fund | 0.85 | First $2 Billion | ||||||
0.77 | Over $2 Billion | |||||||
Structured International Equity Fund | 0.85 | First $1 Billion | ||||||
0.77 | Next $1 Billion | |||||||
0.73 | Over $2 Billion | |||||||
In approving these new fee breakpoints, the Trustees had reviewed information regarding the Investment Adviser’s potential economies of scale, and whether the Funds and their shareholders were participating in the benefits of these economies. In this regard, the Trustees considered the amount of assets in the Funds; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and the profits realized by them; and information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged by other, unaffiliated investment managers to other mutual funds. Upon reviewing these matters again at the Annual Contract Meeting in 2006, the Trustees continued to believe that the fee breakpoints were a way to ensure that benefits of scalability would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.
87
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from the Funds as stated above, including the fees received by them for transfer agency, securities lending, distribution and brokerage services, and the brokerage and research services received by the Investment Adviser in connection with the placement of brokerage transactions for the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser had adopted a policy to cease obtaining third party non-broker research based on the Funds’ brokerage commissions. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the Investment Adviser’s pre-tax revenues and pre-tax margins with respect to the Trust and the Funds. In this regard the Trustees reviewed, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules and expense allocation methodologies, as well as a report of independent accountants regarding the results of certain agreed-upon procedures to verify expense allocation calculations that were designed to assist the Trustees in their evaluation of the Investment Adviser’s schedules of revenues and expenses. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s revenues and margins both in absolute terms and in comparison to the information on the reported margins earned by other asset management firms.
After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded that the management fees paid by the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided by the Investment Adviser, its costs and the Funds’ current and reasonably anticipated asset levels, and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued.
