The Structured U.S. Equity Flex Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of large-capitalization U.S. equity investments and is subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with short selling of securities. Short selling involves leverage of the Fund’s assets and presents various other risks. Because the Fund must first borrow a security to establish a short position, there is a risk that a security will not be available at a particular time or an acceptable price and therefore the Fund may not be able to implement its investment strategy. In addition, the Fund may be obligated to cover its short position at a higher price than the short price, resulting in a loss. Losses on short sales are potentially unlimited as a loss occurs when the value of a security sold short increases. Note that short selling involves sophisticated investment techniques that have the potential to add additional risk to a portfolio. The Fund is not appropriate for all investors. The Fund may make investments in derivative instruments, including options, financial futures, swaps, options on swaps, structured securities and other derivative investments. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument; risks of default by a counterparty, and the risks that transactions may not be liquid. | |
The Structured International Equity Flex Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States and is subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all.

Structured Equity Flex Investment Process
| | |
n Comprehensive – We calculate expected excess returns for approximately 10,000 stocks on a daily basis.
n Rigorous – We evaluate stocks based on fundamental investment criteria that have outperformed historically. | | n Objective – Our stock selection process is free from the emotion that can lead to biased investment decisions. |
| | |
n Our computer optimization process allocates risk to our best investment ideas and constructs funds that strive to neutralize systematic risks and deliver better returns.
n We take a limited number of short positions by targeting a portfolio weighting of up to 135% long and 35% short. | | n We use a unique, proprietary risk model that we believe is more precise, more focused and faster to respond because it seeks to identify, track and manage risk specific to our process, using daily data. |
| | |
Fully invested, well-diversified portfolio that:
n Maintains style, sector, risk and capitalization characteristics similar to the benchmark.
n Offers broad access to a clearly defined equity universe. | | n Aims to generate excess returns that are positive, consistent and repeatable.
n Gives the fund greater exposure to the investment criteria due to its small number of short positions. This leads to potentially higher expected returns. |

Structured U.S. Equity Flex Fund
Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview of the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Flex Fund during the six-month reporting period that ended April 30, 2007.
Performance Review
| |
| Over the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, C, and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.63%, 3.20%, and 3.81%, respectively. These returns compare to a cumulative total return of 8.60% on the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. |
|
| The proprietary stock selection model developed by the Global Quantitative Equity team focuses on investment themes that have demonstrated strong predictability of future stock returns over long periods of time. We believe that these themes, which we use to evaluate investment opportunities, also work well across different types of stocks and in a variety of market environments. However, during the six-month reporting period, several of them performed poorly and that contributed to the underperformance of the Fund during the period. |
|
| Our model is based on six investment themes — Valuation, Profitability, Earnings Quality, Management Impact, Momentum and Analyst Sentiment. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. Profitability assesses whether the company is earning more than its cost of capital. Earnings Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from a steady cash flow, as opposed to accruals. Management Impact captures a company’s management strategy and effectiveness through the company’s investing and financing behavior. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information. Finally, the Analyst Sentiment theme looks at how Wall Street analysts’ views about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time. |
|
| Our analysis of the last few months of 2006 pointed to an unusual market environment in which low-quality stocks rallied substantially. This is the type of market in which our fundamentally-driven themes typically do not fare well. Among our six investment themes, Momentum fared especially poorly for the six-month period, most notably in low-volatility Information Technology stocks while Analyst Sentiment detracted the most in low-volatility Healthcare stocks. We also experienced poor performance in Earnings Quality where the underperformance was driven by Information Technology stocks. |
|
| In addition, one of the control factors in our model, “Long-term reversals,” contributed to the Fund’s underperformance. (Control factors include sources of risk such as the volatility of a security relative to the market.) Even though we do not adopt explicit views for control factors, we do seek to control for them. Long-term reversals is a factor that has a weak — but volatile — association with future returns. We use Long-term reversals to look at returns over the last three years relative to an industry, and we assume the weakest stocks over that period will be more likely to outperform in the future — which was not the case during the reporting period. On the upside, Management Impact, Profitability and Valuation added the most value for the period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
| Stock specific events — which we define as a single-day move that puts a stock in the top or bottom 0.5% relative to historical expectations — had a larger-than-expected negative impact on the Fund’s performance, as well. In particular, two of our overweight positions detracted from the portfolio’s performance. Symantec Corp lowered its earnings outlook on January 1, and Lexmark International missed its earnings on April 24. The Fund’s holdings in the Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors also detracted from performance relative to their peers in the benchmark. Conversely, stock selection within Consumer Staples and Industrials added modestly to performance. |
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks this objective through a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments representing all major sectors of the U.S. economy. Because the Investment Adviser has both positive and negative views on stocks, the Fund may establish short positions.
Portfolio Positioning and Highlights
| |
| In keeping with our management approach, the Fund was invested in a broadly diversified number of stocks with positive net theme exposure and limited net sector and industry exposure relative to the S&P 500. Our process is designed with the expectation that, over the long-term, our fundamental investment themes will add value; however, not all themes will work at any given time, which was the case through much of the reporting period. |
|
| Going forward, we continue to believe that stocks with strong fundamentals will outperform stocks with weak fundamentals. In particular, we 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. The weights on our six investment themes will continue to vary depending on their expected returns and risk and diversification benefit, along with their anticipated impact on portfolio turnover. |
|
| As always, we take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies that offer opportunities for our shareholders. We continue to invest based on a three- to five-year time horizon and continue to look for ways to enhance our quantitative model through our ongoing research effort. |
|
| We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. |

Structured International Equity Flex Fund
Dear Shareholder:
This report provides an overview of the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Flex Fund during the six-month reporting period that ended April 30, 2007.
Performance Review
| |
| Over the six-month period that ended April 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, C, and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 16.68%, 16.32% and 16.84%, respectively. These returns compare to a cumulative total return of 15.46% on the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (unhedged and net of dividend withholding taxes, with dividends reinvest-ed), over the same time period. |
|
| The Fund outperformed the index during the period largely because of the good performance of our investment themes, or criteria we use to evaluate investment opportunities. The proprietary stock selection model developed by the Global Quantitative Equity team focuses on investment themes that have demonstrated strong predictability of future stock returns over long periods of time. The model is based on six investment themes — Valuation, Profitability, Earnings Quality, Management Impact, Momentum and Analyst Sentiment. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. Profitability assesses whether the company is earning more than its cost of capital. Earnings Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from a steady cash flow, as opposed to accruals. Management Impact captures a company’s management strategy and effectiveness through the company’s investing and financing behavior. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information. Finally, the Analyst Sentiment theme looks at how Wall Street analysts’ views about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time. |
|
| Among our six investment themes, Momentum added the most value over the period, particu-larly in our investments in Europe and Japan, as stocks with good momentum characteristics outperformed their industry counterparts. Our Management Impact, Earnings Quality, Profitability and Analyst Sentiment themes also contributed significantly. Meanwhile, Valuation was relatively flat for the period. |
|
| Stock selection within sectors also contributed to the Fund’s outperformance. Our holdings in the Industrials, Materials and Information Technology sectors added positively while those in Financials detracted. Within countries, stock selection contributed the most in Japan and Switzerland but was slightly negative in Hong Kong. |
|
| On an individual stock level, the Fund’s overweights in Air France and JM AB were among the strongest contributors for the period. Meanwhile, overweights in Towa Real Estate Development and Elpida Memory were among the biggest detractors. |
|
| To the extent we find them effective instruments with which to manage certain aspects of the portfolio, the Fund may employ the use of derivatives, including total return swaps, futures and currency forwards. Total return swaps have been efficiently employed to achieve short positions and long positions in certain countries. |

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
| |
| The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks this objective through a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. Because the Investment Adviser has both positive and negative views on stocks, the Fund may establish short positions. |
Portfolio Positioning and Highlights
| |
| In keeping with our investment approach, we take minimal size and sector bets. We use our quantitative process to look for stocks that have good momentum and appear to offer a good value. As always, our goal is to find companies about which fundamental research analysts are increasingly positive — firms that are profitable, have sustainable earnings and use their capital to enhance shareholder value. We expect these factors to contribute positively to the Fund’s returns over the long term, and should also work well at various times and under different market environments. Investors should expect the value we add over time to be the result of stock selection as opposed to country, sector or size allocations. We continue to invest based on a 3- to 5-year time horizon and continue to look for ways to enhance our quantitative model through our on-going research effort. |

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
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 U.S. Equity Flex Fund which commenced operations on September 29, 2006 and the Structured International Equity Flex Fund which commenced operations on July 31, 2006 (collectively, the “Funds,” or individually, a “Fund”). Each Fund is a diversified portfolio offering three classes of shares — Class A, Class C and Institutional. Class A Shares of the Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares of the Funds are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional 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. For the Structured International Equity Flex Fund a 2.00% redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less.
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, including equity securities sold short, 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 a foreign securities exchange are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the Trust’s 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.
Total return swaps are valued based on the market value of the underlying long and short positions in the swap, valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. The total market value of the underlying securities plus financing fees, the value of corporate actions, and dividend accruals comprises the total market value of the total return swap position. Total return swaps are reset monthly with change in market value reflected as realized gain or loss.
30
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FLEX FUNDS
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 each Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Funds, which are subject to taxes.
Pursuant to applicable law and procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, securities transactions in portfolio securities (including futures transactions) may be effected from time to time through Goldman Sachs or an affiliate. In order for Goldman Sachs or an affiliate, acting as agent, to effect securities or futures transactions for a Fund, the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by Goldman Sachs or an affiliate must be reasonable and fair compared to the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities or futures contracts.
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.
Securities sold within a total return swap are reflected as of trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the financing amount which approximates identified cost and are realized on reset date.
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 and Class C shareholders of the Funds bear all expenses and fees relating to their respective Distribution and Service Plans. Each class of shares of the Funds separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Funds are amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations.
E. Federal Taxes and Distribution to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net capital losses 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 U.S. 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, net realized gain, or as a tax return of capital.
F. 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.
31
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FLEX FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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.
G. 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, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statements of Operations.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements 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. This risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
H. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Structured U.S. Equity Flex Fund, 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 Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s 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 Fund, 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.
I. 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, short sales, total return swaps, 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.
32
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FLEX FUNDS
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
As investment companies registered with the SEC, the Funds must segregate liquid assets to “cover” open positions with respect to certain kinds of derivative instruments. In the case of swaps that do not settle for cash, for example, the Funds must set aside liquid assets equal to the full notional value of the swaps while the positions are open. With respect to swaps that do settle for cash, however, the Funds are permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Funds’ daily marked-to-market net obligations (i.e., the Funds’ daily net liability) under the swaps, if any, rather than their full notional value.
J. Short Sales — Short selling involves leverage of a Fund’s assets and presents various risks. In order to establish a short position in a security, a Fund must first borrow the security from a lender, such as a Prime Broker or other counterparty. The Funds may not always be able to borrow the security at a particular time or at an acceptable cost. Thus, there is risk that the Funds may be unable to implement its investment strategy due to the lack of available securities or for other reasons.
After selling the borrowed security, a Fund is then obligated to “cover” the short sale by purchasing and returning the security to the lender on a later date. A Fund cannot guarantee that the security necessary to cover a short position will be available for purchase at the time the Fund wishes to close a short position or, if available, that the security will be available at an acceptable price. If the borrowed security has appreciated in value since it was sold, a Fund will be required to pay more for the replacement security than the amount it received from selling the security short. Moreover, purchasing a security to cover a short position can itself cause the price of the security to rise further. The potential loss on a short sale is unlimited because the loss increases as the price of the security sold short increases and the price may rise indefinitely. If the price of a borrowed security declines before the short position is covered, the Fund may realize a gain. A Fund’s gain on a short sale, before transactions and other costs, is generally limited to the difference between the price at which it sold the borrowed security and the price it paid to purchase the security to return to the lender.
Short sales also involve other costs. A Fund must normally repay to the lender an amount equal to any dividend and financing cost that accrues while the loan is outstanding. In addition, to borrow the security, a Fund may be required to pay a premium. A Fund will also incur transaction costs in effecting short sales. The amount of any ultimate gain for a Fund resulting from a short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any ultimate loss will be increased, by the amount of premiums, dividends, interest or expenses a Fund may be required to pay in connection with the short sale.
Until a Fund replaces a borrowed security, a Fund will be required to maintain assets in a segregated account at the custodian as collateral. Thus, short sales involve credit exposure to the broker that executes the short sales. In addition, a Fund is required to designate, on the books of its custodian, liquid assets (less any additional collateral already held by the custodian) to cover the short sale obligation, marked-to-market daily. The requirement to segregate assets limits a Fund’s leveraging of its investments and the related risk of losses from leveraging. However, such segregation may also limit a Fund’s investment flexibility, as well as its ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.
K. Total Return Swap Transactions — The use of total return swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques, risk analyses and tax planning different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The Structured International Equity Flex Fund’s transactions in total return swaps may be significant. These transactions can result in sizeable realized and unrealized capital gains and losses relative to the gains and losses from the Fund’s direct investments in equity securities.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Transactions in total return swaps can involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in securities directly since, in addition to general market risks, swaps are leveraged and are also subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, credit risk and pricing risk. Because they may have terms of greater than seven days, swap transactions may be considered to be illiquid. Moreover, the Fund will bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a total return swap in the event of the default by, or bankruptcy of a swap counterparty. Some total return swaps may be complex and valued subjectively. Total return swaps may also be subject to pricing or “basis” risk, which exists when a particular swap becomes extraordinarily expensive relative to historical prices or the price of corresponding cash market instruments. Under certain market conditions it may not be economically feasible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position in time to avoid a loss or take advantage of an opportunity. If a swap transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.
The prices of total return swaps can be volatile, and a variance in the degree of volatility or in the direction of securities prices from the investment adviser’s expectations may produce significant losses in the Fund’s investments in swaps. In addition, a perfect correlation between an equity swap and a security’s position may be impossible to achieve. As a result, the investment adviser’s use of equity swaps may not be effective in fulfilling the investment adviser’s investment strategies and may contribute to losses that would not have incurred otherwise.
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, serves as the 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.
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, GSAM received a Management Fee on a contractual basis at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Contractual Management Fee |
| | |
| | Up to $2 | | Over $2 | | Effective |
Fund | | billion | | billion | | Fee |
|
Structured U.S. Equity Flex | | | 1.00 | % | | | 0.90 | % | | | 1.00 | % |
|
Structured International Equity Flex | | | 1.10 | % | | | 0.99 | % | | | 1.10 | % |
|
GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, dividend expenses on short sales, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any custody and transfer agent fee credit reductions) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.064% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. 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.

3. AGREEMENTS (continued) |
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees and reimburse other expenses. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent resulting in a reduction in the Funds’ expenses. These expense reductions were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Expense Credits | | |
| | | | | | |
| | Other Expense | | Custody | | Transfer | | Total Expense |

|
Structured International Equity Flex | | | 346 | | | | 1 | | | | 1 | | | | 348 | |
|
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% and 0.75% of the Funds’ average daily net assets attributable to Class A 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 account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to 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 C contingent deferred sales charge. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, Goldman Sachs advised the Funds that it retained the following approximate amounts:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | Contingent Deferred |
| | Sales Load | | Sales Charge |
| | | | |
Fund | | Class A | | Class C |
|
Structured U.S. Equity Flex | | $ | 2,000 | | | $ | — | |
|
Structured International Equity Flex | | | 5,000 | | | | — | |
|
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 and Class C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional Shares.
At April 30, 2007, the amounts owed to affiliates were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Management | | Distribution and | | Transfer | | |
Fund | | Fees | | Service Fees | | Agent Fees | | Total |

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended April 30, 2007, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Sales and | | Securities Sold | | Purchases to Cover |
Fund | | Purchases | | Maturities | | Short | | Securities Sold Short |
|
Structured U.S. Equity Flex | | $ | 60,086,727 | | | $ | 32,344,445 | | | $ | 15,911,652 | | | $ | 9,264,165 | |

|
For the six months ended April 30, 2007, Goldman Sachs earned approximately $3,200 and $14,200 of brokerage commissions from futures transactions, executed on behalf of the Structured U.S. Equity Flex and Structured International Equity Flex Funds, respectively.
At April 30, 2007, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Structured U.S. | | Structured International |
| | Equity Flex | | Equity Flex |
|
Tax Cost | | $ | 78,150,968 | | | $ | 150,763,152 | |
|
Gross unrealized gain | | | 5,208,415 | | | | 15,654,230 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (1,614,303 | ) | | | (1,872,055 | ) |
|
Net unrealized security gain | | $ | 3,594,112 | | | $ | 13,782,175 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, differences related to the passive foreign investment company investments, and net mark-to-market gains (losses) on Section 1256 futures and foreign currency contracts recognized for tax purposes.

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 Fund’s 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. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in Fund net asset value calculations as late as the Fund’s last net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a result, the Fund will incorporate FIN 48 in its April 30, 2008 semiannual report. At this time, the investment adviser 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 “Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”) 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. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The investment adviser does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED EQUITY FLEX FUNDS
Fund Expenses (Unaudited) — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2007
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C or Institutional 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), or contingent deferred sales charges (loads) on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares) and redemption fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, or Institutional Shares, if any (for Structured International Flex Fund only) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A 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 C and Institutional Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2006 through April 30, 2007.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes— The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual 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 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.

* | Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2007. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Class A | | Class C | | Institutional |
|
Structured U.S. Equity Flex | | | 2.01 | % | | | 2.92 | % | | | 1.50 | % |
