The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity investments in large-capitalization U.S. equity issuers. The Fund 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 also subject to the risks associated with writing (selling) call options. Writing (selling) call options limits the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. In a rising market, the Fund could significantly underperform the market. The Fund’s options strategies may not fully protect it against declines in the value of the market. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the pre-tax performance of the Fund may be lower than the performance of a similar Fund that is not tax-managed. This is because the Investment Adviser of the Fund may choose not to make certain investments that may result in taxable distributions. Of course, no assurance can be offered that the Fund’s tax-managed strategies will reduce the amount of taxable income and capital gains distributed by the Fund to shareholders.
The Fund may make investments in derivative instruments, including options, and financial futures. 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS SPECIALTY FUNDS
The Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper FundSM invests in equity securities of high quality technology, media or service companies that adopt or use technology to improve their cost structure, revenue opportunities or competitive advantage. The Tollkeeper FundSM is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. Because the Fund invests in “Tollkeeper” companies, its net asset value may fluctuate substantially over time and its performance may be substantially different from the returns of the broader stock market.
The Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. equity investments. The Fund 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 may invest in securities of any capitalization, including mid-cap and small-cap companies, which involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. The Fund uses both a variety of quantitative techniques and fundamental research when selecting investments which have the potential to maximize the Fund’s after-tax return, and minimize capital gains and income distributions. No assurance can be offered that the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s tax-managed strategies will reduce the amount of taxable income and capital gains distributed by the Fund to shareholders. The Fund is not suitable for IRAs or other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts.
The Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in issuers related to the real estate industry, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”). The value of a REIT is affected by changes in the value of the properties owned by the REIT or securing mortgage loans held by the REIT. REITs and real estate companies are also subject to risks generally associated with investments in real estate including possible declines in the value of real estate, general and local economic conditions, environmental problems and changes in interest rates. The Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. Because the Fund invests in issuers related to the real estate industry, its net asset value may fluctuate substantially overtime and its performance may be substantially different from the returns of the broader stock market.
The Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund invests primarily in issuers that are real estate operating companies organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. Investments in real estate industry companies may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the issuer or by overbuilding, changes in zoning laws, environmental concerns and limits on rents. In addition, real estate industry companies that hold mortgages may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Real estate companies are dependent upon management skill, may not be diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. Real estate companies whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or geographic region are also subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. The Fund’s investments, especially in real estate industry companies that hold its mortgages, may be subject to interest rate risks.

The Fund is also 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, and less liquid 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.
The Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. Because the Fund invests in issuers related to the real estate industry, its net asset value may fluctuate substantially over time and its performance may be substantially different from the returns of the broader stock market.
The Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund invests primarily in commodity-linked investments that provide exposure to the performance of the commodities markets, and other fixed-income and debt instruments. The Fund is subject to the risk that exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The Fund may also make investments in derivative instruments, including options, futures, swaps, structured securities and other derivative instruments. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risks 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 the transactions may not be liquid.

GOLDMAN SACHS U.S. EQUITY DIVIDEND AND PREMIUM FUND
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund?
The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund seeks to maximize income and total return. Its portfolio consists primarily of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks. By investing in these securities, and through the use of option call writing, the Fund looks to generate an attractive after-tax cash flow.
| | |
|
| | Goldman Sachs’ U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund Investment Process

A diversified portfolio:
n Create a diversified large-cap equity portfolio that participates in all industries and sectors. n Emphasize higher dividend-paying stocks within each industry and sector.
Call options:
n The Fund utilizes index call writing to enhance its cash flow.

n We use proprietary quantitative techniques, including optimization tools, a risk model, and a transactions cost model, in identifying a portfolio of stocks that we believe may enhance expected dividend yield while limiting deviations when compared to the S&P 500 Index.

n A fully invested, style-consistent portfolio.
n Attractive after-tax cash flow from qualified dividends, long-term capital gains and option call writing.
n The Fund seeks to enhance after-tax return by generating distributions primarily from qualified dividends and long-term capital gains, both of which are subject to current favorable long-term tax rates of 15%.1 |
| | |
| 1 | A sunset provision provides that the 15% long-term capital gain rate and the taxation of dividends at the long-term capital gain rate will revert back to a prior version of the provisions in the Internal Revenue Code for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund
Dear Shareholder:
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund during the six-month reporting period that ended June 30, 2007.
Performance Review
| |
| Over the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 5.70%, 5.35% and 5.90%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.96% and 0.98% cumulative total returns of the Fund’s benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index (with dividends reinvested) and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, respectively, over the same time period. |
|
| In keeping with our investment approach, we wrote (sold) monthly index call options on approximately 35% of the portfolio. The sale of call options obligates us to buy the S&P 500 Index at a specified price, also known as the “strike price.” Because the stock market rallied 6.28% in the second quarter of 2006, many of these options expired “in the money,” which meant that the underlying security’s value was above the strike price, requiring a cash payment to the option buyer. Such sales limited approximately 35% of the portfolio’s participation in the rally— although the sale of the options added to the Fund’s cash flow. During a period of strong market appreciation, the Fund is likely to underperform the overall stock market. |
|
| Call option writing tends to reduce volatility. Since inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been about three- quarters of the realized volatility of the S&P 500 Index. In market environments with smaller returns, the Fund has the potential to outperform the benchmark. For example, it provided solid performance during the first quarter of 2007 when the stock market generated single-digit returns. |
|
| The Fund made quarterly distributions of income per share in March and June. On March 30, 2007 the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares distributed $0.11, $0.09 and $0.12, respectively. On June 29, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares distributed $0.05, $0.03 and $0.06, respectively. |
Market Review
| |
| During the six-month period that ended June 30, 2007, the overall stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, generated a return of 6.96%. Nine of the ten sectors in the Index were up for the year, led by the Energy Sector (+17.02%), Telecommunication Services (+16.18%) and Materials (16.58%) sectors. The Energy Sector was the largest positive contributor (weight multiplied by performance) to the Index return. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Portfolio Positioning and Highlights
| |
| During this period, the Fund performed consistently with its investment objective. Its combined net option premium cash flow and dividend income added to total return. The Fund did not fully participate in the stock market’s advance because the Fund’s investment approach requires it to sell call options. When the market rose, the portfolio underperformed the underlying index— the S&P 500 Index, which is one of the Fund’s benchmarks— as call options were exercised and the Fund paid the purchaser of the option the amount by which the Index increased in value. Although the Fund retained the proceeds from the sales of the options, the payments did not always exceed the increase in the value of the index— a phenomenon common in sharply rising markets like the one we experienced during the reporting period. Nonetheless, we significantly outperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. |
|
| In keeping with our investment approach, we will continue to invest in dividend-paying large cap stocks within each industry and sector in the S&P 500 Index in an attempt to offer investors growth potential. For the same reason, we will continue seeking to generate cash flow from the sale of call options. |
|
| We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. |

4 | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
| |
| Total return figures in the above charts represent past performance and do not indicate future results, which will vary. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and, therefore, an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the total return figures in the above charts. Please visit www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. 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. |

| The estimated after-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of distributions (currently 15% for qualifying ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions and 35% for non-qualifying ordinary income dividends) and do not reflect state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns will be calculated at calendar year-end and depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes. Standardized after-tax returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares. |

* | Returns Before Taxes do not reflect taxes on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed. |
** | Estimated Returns After Taxes on Distributions assume that taxes are paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Tollkeeper Fund
Dear Shareholder:
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund during the six-month reporting period that ended June 30, 2007.
Performance Review
| |
| During the six month reporting period that ended June 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 8.63%, 8.30%, 8.19%, 8.81% and 8.57%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.78% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the NASDAQ Composite Index, over the same time period. |
|
| The Fund generated solid results during the reporting period and outperformed its benchmark. This was due, in part, to strong stock selections. |
Market Review
| |
| The U.S. equity markets benefited from strong momentum during the reporting period. This occurred despite sell-offs in the subprime mortgage and Chinese markets, which affected the global equity markets. Strong corporate earnings announcements, higher oil prices, private equity activity and speculation were the main drivers of performance during the period. The Federal Reserve Board left short-term interest rates unchanged as it believes inflation is less likely to moderate as had been expected. During the reporting period, computer hardware and energy-related companies led the market, while the biotechnology industry lagged. |
Portfolio Positioning
| |
| Videogame publisher, Activision, Inc. contributed to performance as the company’s shares rose in value because of a strong videogame sales report from the number one game retailer, GameStop. In addition, Activision increased its revenue outlook for 2007 on continued sales momentum from videogame titles such as Guitar Hero II and Call of Duty. We believe Activision is well-positioned for future growth as the company’s videogame pipeline remains robust with plans to simultaneously release videogames with three of this summer’s most anticipated movies — Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, and Transformers. |
|
| American Tower Corp. contributed to performance as its shares traded up on positive financial results. The tower company reported positive profits for its first fiscal quarter as strong demand from wireless service providers helped boost its revenues. We believe the underlying health of the wireless tower industry remains positive as growth is being driven by demand for tower space, new technology services offerings and an emphasis on enhancing network quality. In our view, the company has a dominant position in an attractive industry as it delivers the highest operating margins in the wireless tower sector. |
10
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
| Shares of Electronic Arts, Inc. were weak as the company has been impacted by the transition to a new generation of gaming hardware, which has taken longer than expected. The industry environment has been challenging as gaming software vendors have been releasing games for new consoles, yet sales for these consoles have not yet taken off. We believe that, as the user base of new gaming hardware grows, Electronic Arts should benefit as the company has invested heavily in games for the new hardware. Consequently, its game sales should increase and its developing costs should decline. We believe the company’s product pipeline is robust with plans to release 10 to 13 new titles for the popular Nintendo Wii platform this year. In addition, the company should gain market share with the help of important brands such as Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo 3. |
|
| Shares of CNET Networks, Inc. fell after the company reported a first-quarter loss, a soft revenue number and weak guidance. Despite the disappointing results, we believe CNET is well positioned to benefit from the growing opportunity in Internet advertising as it continues to expand its audience and customer base, grow its core brands and add new ones. |
Portfolio Highlights
| |
n | Research In Motion Ltd. — Research In Motion was a top contributor to performance during the period. At the end of June, the company reported earnings that exceeded subscriber guidance and raised guidance for its current quarter. Research In Motion continues to benefit from strength in its consumer, enterprise and international business units. We believe the BlackBerry maker’s growth prospects are favorable as businesses advance the use of mobile e-mail and introduce it more deeply within the organizations. In addition, the consumer-focused BlackBerry products are broadening the brand’s appeal into a larger market. We have high conviction in the company’s product pipeline for this year and believe BlackBerry’s strong brand name and superior technology provides a competitive advantage over substitute products. |
|
n | Linear Technology Corp. — Linear Technology’s announcement of a substantial stock repurchase program drove shares of the company up during the quarter. The repurchase will account for roughly 31% of Linear’s market value and will be funded by the proceeds from a $1.7 billion convertible note offering. We believe the company is well positioned for future growth as analog chip sales remain strong due to continued demand for devices such as cell phones, MP3 players, and high-definition televisions. |
11
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
n | Baidu.com. — Baidu.com, a Chinese-language Internet search provider, contributed to performance after the company released strong first quarter financial results. Baidu.com has dominant share in China’s web search market and its earnings and revenue for the most recent quarter more than doubled from the same period last year. We believe the company’s growth prospects are favorable as it should be able to leverage its expertise in Chinese search to successfully enter new markets, such as Japan. |

| We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. |

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-MANAGED EQUITY FUND
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs
Structured Tax-Management Process?
In managing money for many of the world’s wealthiest taxable investors, Goldman Sachs often constructs a diversified investment portfolio around a tax-managed core. With the Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund, investors can access Goldman Sachs’ tax-smart investment expertise while capitalizing on this same strategic approach to portfolio construction.
Goldman Sachs’ Structured Tax-Management Investment Process
Goldman Sachs’ Structured investment process is a disciplined quantitative approach that has been consistently applied since 1989. With this Fund, the Structured investment process is enhanced with an additional layer that seeks to maximize after-tax returns.
| | |
n Comprehensive
n Rigorous
n Objective | | n Extensive
n Fundamental
n Insightful |
Advantage: Daily analysis of approximately 3,000 U.S. equity securities using a proprietary model |
| | |
n Benchmark driven
n Sector and size neutral
n Tax optimized | | |
Tax optimization is an additional layer that is built into the existing Structured investment process — a distinct advantage. While other managers may simply seek to minimize taxable distributions through a low turnover strategy, this extension of the Structured investment process seeks to maximize after-tax returns — the true objective of every taxable investor.
Advantage: Value added through stock selection — not market timing, industry rotation or style bias |

n A fully invested, style-consistent portfolio
n Broad access to the total U.S. equity market
n A consistent goal of maximizing after-tax risk-adjusted returns |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund
Dear Shareholder:
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund during the six-month reporting period that ended June 30, 2007.
Performance Review
| |
| Over the six-month period that ended June 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 6.23%, 5.75%, 5.86%, 6.38% and 6.07%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.11% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. |
|
| During the entire reporting period, the market continued to experience what might be considered a “low-quality” rally. In other words, stocks with low-quality rankings according to Standard & Poor’s outperformed their higher-ranked counterparts. (We consider stocks ranked “A+”, “A” and “A-” by S&P to be “high quality,” and those ranked “B-” and “C” as “low quality”). Furthermore, the spread (difference in price) between high- and low-quality stocks in the S&P 500 Index averaged about -75 basis points or less during each month of the period. In contrast, the average spread was about +4 basis points per month over the last 10 years. |
|
| In this type of market environment, our investment themes typically do not work well, and the six-month reporting period was no exception. Three of our six investment themes contributed negatively to returns. The largest detractor was Momentum, particularly among Information Technology stocks. Earnings Quality and Management Impact detracted slightly. Analyst Sentiment, Profitability and Valuation contributed positively. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Over the long term, we expect most of our excess returns (gross portfolio return minus benchmark return) to be explained by our portfolios’ exposures to our themes. However, sometimes our themes don’t completely explain our returns. We call what is left over the residual or unexplained portion of return. We have recently enhanced the way that we analyze our performance to better understand the themes that impact the Fund’s returns. We have found that some themes did a better job of telling us which stocks to underweight versus which to overweight. In addition, some themes didn’t fare well in some sectors, as evidenced by the fact that stock selection was negative in some sectors, such as Information Technology. Thus, even when the themes did work as expected on average, they didn’t do so in driving all of our stock selection. Combined with those themes that didn’t work as a result of the market environment, the Fund underperformed its benchmark over the period. |
16
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
| In addition, “Events,” or stocks with unexpectedly big moves, also hurt returns. Most notably, we tended to overweight stocks that had significant downward moves on or around the day they reported earnings. |
|
|
| We view the market environment that we experienced toward the end of the six-month reporting period as unusual and believe in the long-term efficacy of our stock selection factors. |
Market Review
| |
| The broad market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, returned 7.11% over the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. Nine of the ten sectors in the Index were up for the period, with Materials (19.48%), Energy (15.91) and Telecommunication Services (+15.69) experiencing the largest absolute gains. The Information Technology (+9.8%) sector was the largest positive contributor (weight times performance) to the Index’s gains during the year. |
Portfolio Positioning
| |
| The Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund seeks to provide investors with a tax-efficient means for maintaining broadly diversified exposure to the entire U.S. equity market. In managing the Structured products, we do not take size or sector bets. Rather, we seek to add value versus the Fund’s benchmark by individual stock selection. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values (relative to other stocks in the same industry). We prefer stocks whose prospects are being viewed more favorably by fundamental research analysts, those with better profitability characteristics than their industry peers, and those that have earnings that come from cash-based sources. Our portfolio construction process integrates tax considerations into investment decisions with the goal of maximizing after-tax return. In terms of individual stocks, overweights in Tesoro Corp, ITT Educational Services, Inc. and Reliant Energy, Inc. were among the most successful for the period. Conversely, overweight positions in Lexmark International, Applera Corporation – Applied Biosystems Group, and American Home Mortgage Investment Corp. were amount the biggest negative contributors to excess returns for the period. |
|
| We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. |

The estimated after-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of distributions (currently 15% for qualifying ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions and 35% for non- qualifying ordinary income dividends) and do not reflect state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns will be calculated at calendar year-end and depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes. Standardized after-tax returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares.
| |
* | Returns Before Taxes do not reflect taxes on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Real Estate Securities Fund
Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund during the six-month reporting period that ended June 30, 2007.
Performance Review
| |
| During the six month reporting period that ended June 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns of -7.28%, -7.65%, -7.65%, -7.09% and -7.35%, respectively. These returns compare to the -6.19% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index (the “Index”) (with dividends reinvested), over the same period. |
|
| During the reporting period, the Fund underperformed its benchmark as stock selection and underweight positions in the Retail and Apartment sectors detracted from performance. Additionally, an overweight position in the Office sector detracted from results versus the benchmark. In contrast, stock selection was positive in the Industrial sector and an underweight position to the Self-Storage sector and overweight to the Hotel sector contributed positively to performance. |
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Market Review
| |
| The Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index peaked on February 7, 2007 and, at that point, had returned 14% year-to-date. This occurred approximately around the time of the Blackstone/ Equity Office Properties transaction. Subsequently, the Index has meaningfully declined to the point that its year-to-date returns through June 30, 2007, were -6.19%. This represents a 20% fall from its peak. The initial drivers of the decline were a combination of concern over valuations, profit taking and rotation into the traditional equity market. Subsequently, concern over interest rates, widening credit spreads and the non-associated fall-out in the residential mortgage market, also impacted public real estate market valuations. |
|
| Due to the degree of press the subprime market has received and its association to real estate, we believe that it’s imperative to note that the subprime issue has been isolated to the housing (“for sale”) market, which is distinct from the commercial “for rent” market (as represented by real estate investment trusts or REITs). In fact, although “for sale” housing fundamentals have been deteriorating, commercial real estate fundamentals have been improving. It is true that a small percentage of the REIT universe is in the negatively impacted residential “mortgage” REIT space. However, since these REITs source revenues from the collateralizing bonds tied to housing market rather than through direct ownership of commercial real estate, the Fund does not invest in them. |
22
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Portfolio Positioning
| |
| During the reporting period, the Hotel sector was the best performer in the Index, returning 2.1%. The sector was aided by merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity and strong fundamentals that are driving average daily room rates higher. Stock selection was modestly negative for the period in this sector but an overweight position contributed to performance. We remain focused on the luxury-oriented names, such as Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., which are focused on key gateway cities where barriers to entry are high and corporate demand is very strong. |
|
| The Apartment sector of the Index returned -5.1%. Strong fundamentals and increased M&A activity were the primary drivers of performance. The recent 60 basis point rise in the 10-year Treasury yield has increased the cost of owning, as home prices take time to adjust downward. In addition, the subprime woes have reduced the creative lending practices that enticed the marginal homebuyer to own rather than rent. These factors, in addition to solid job growth, should continue to drive demand in the “for rent” space. Stock selection and an underweight to the sector detracted from the Fund’s performance during the period. |
|
| The Retail sector modestly outperformed the Index as a whole, returning -5.9%. Most retail REITs continue to report strong tenant demand. Although there have been fears over the strength of consumer spending since 2005, the operating results in the sector remain relatively strong. Stock selection detracted from performance for the period, particularly due to an overweight position in Kimco Realty Corp. We retain our position in the stock, as we believe Kimco has quality assets and one of the best platforms in the business. We feel this will, in turn, help the company exploit opportunities in the development and asset management fronts. |
|
| The Index’s Industrial sector returned -7.0% over the reporting period, however, the Fund’s Industrial holdings outperformed those in the Index. As such, our overweight to the sector did not materially impact the Fund’s performance. We continue to focus on those companies that we believe will not only benefit from fundamental improvements, but also from structural changes in the sector. We believe a global oriented, high quality portfolio of modern distribution warehouse space is essential to capitalize on the trend of globalization. Hence, we maintain overweight positions in ProLogis Trust and AMB Property Corp. Both companies possess these attributes and are led by excellent management teams that have employed innovative, industry leading business models to generate high returns on invested capital. |
|
| The Office sector of the Index returned -7.8% for the reporting period. In spite of this sector’s negative performance, the national office markets continue to enjoy a sustained recovery, particularly in the more supply-constrained markets. A large amount of capital has been flowing into the sector, most evidenced by Blackstone’s $39 billion acquisition of Equity Office Properties. The lower quality suburban office companies continue to lag their higher quality central business district counterparts, especially those with meaningful exposure to midtown Manhattan, Southern California, Washington DC and the improving markets of Boston and San Francisco. Our overweight positions in SL Green Realty Corp., |
23
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
| Brookfield Properties Corp., Boston Properties, Inc. and Vornado Realty Trust benefited from a high level of exposure to these markets. Additionally, consistent with the approach we take in all sectors, these companies have the ability to create value with strong management teams and robust development/redevelopment pipelines. |
|
| The Self-Storage sector was the worst performer for the reporting period, returning -18.8%. The portfolio’s underweight position contributed to performance. We maintain this position due to valuation concerns, as compressed risk premiums and aggressive earnings expectations have made Self-Storage one of the most richly valued sectors. |
Portfolio Highlights
| |
n | ProLogis Trust — We remain focused on companies such as ProLogis Trust, which is benefiting from structural changes in distribution logistics for the world’s largest users of warehouse space. ProLogis Trust has three linked businesses— property investment, property fund management and development for sale. It operates in three continents— North America, Europe and Asia— and is led by an excellent management team. ProLogis Trust has a diverse, dynamic and innovative business model that generates high returns on invested capital. |
|
n | Kimco Realty Corp. — Kimco Realty is the nation’s largest publicly traded owner and operator of neighborhood and community shopping centers. It owns or has interest in more than 1,118 properties, totaling 143.6 million square feet of leaseable space in 45 states, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. We believe the company has a solid track record of acquiring properties with below market rate leases, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and possessing a keen eye in leveraging opportunities. |
|
n | Boston Properties, Inc. — Boston Properties is one of the largest owners, managers and developers of office properties in the U.S. With a significant presence in midtown Manhattan and San Francisco, coupled with a robust development pipeline, we believe that Boston Properties is well positioned to capitalize on its growth opportunities. Additionally, we feel that its management team is among the most respected and accomplished in the REIT industry. |
|
| We remain confident and focused on our fundamental premise that good companies with superior management and strategies will outperform over time. As such, we are comfortable with the current positioning of the Fund. |
|
| We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
International Real Estate Securities Fund
Dear Shareholder:
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund for the six-month reporting period that ended June 30, 2007.
Performance Review
| |
| Over the six month reporting period that ended June 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.77%, 4.46% and 5.00%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.84% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global ex US Real Estate Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period. |
|
|
| Stock selection contributed positively in Japan, Australia, the Netherlands and Hong Kong, as did overweight positions in Canada and Singapore. Additionally, real estate stocks held in the portfolio with exposure to emerging markets, including Brazil, China and Mexico, performed particularly well. Conversely, stock selection detracted from performance in Singapore and Germany, as did overweight positions in the UK and Germany. |
Market Review
| |
| The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global ex US Real Estate Index returned 3.84% during the reporting period. Asia led the real estate securities group, with Singapore returning 32.4%. Elsewhere, China and Hong Kong returned 19.5%, and 13.0%, respectively. Asia’s overall results were a stark contrast to the rest of the developed world, especially compared to Europe, where Germany and the UK were each down in excess of 12%. Canada performed well versus the group, returning 8.4%. From a sector perspective, the Hotel, Office and Residential sectors outperformed the overall market, while the Industrial and Retail sectors underperformed. |
Portfolio Positioning
| |
| Singapore’s real estate market is extremely strong across all sectors. The luxury home market continues to see strong demand and prices continue to surprise on the upside. Demand is seeping into the mid-market as well, as prices are beginning to move up. Office demand remains strong and we believe new supply should be constrained for quite some time. Consequently, vacancy is now estimated to be less than 1% and year-over-year rents are increasing 20-30%. We maintained an overweight position to the region and those companies that have a development orientation or focused in the office sector. During the reporting period, stock selection detracted from performance, but an overweight to the country contributed positively. |
28
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
| Expectation for a sustainable economic recovery and asset price inflation continued to support fundamentals in Japan. The vacancy rate in Central Tokyo in May was 2.2%, the lowest rate since it hit a cyclically high peak of 8.6% in June 2003. Consequently, rents are accelerating. Japanese REITs especially focused on the Office sector continue to see the strongest earnings acceleration with demand for top-tier office space now working their way down to the next tier. Alliances between Japanese REITs and direct real estate investors have recently emerged. This could be a precursor to merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity, which could help propel values in the space. We continue to believe that Japanese REITs offer healthy balance sheets, strong fundamentals and attractive yield spreads. |
|
| The emerging real estate markets were very strong during the reporting period with China, Mexico and Brazil outperforming all developed real estate markets. We continue to leverage our team to identify unique names such as Urbi Desarrollos Urbanos, a Mexican homebuilder that is capitalizing on increased homeownership and expansion of the mortgage market. Elsewhere, BR Malls Participacoes, a Brazilian high-end regional mall owner, is expected to capitalize on favorable consumer trends. Our most recent additions to the portfolio are Robinson’s Land in the Philippines, which provides exposure to the recovery of office and retail markets and China Central Properties, which offers a unique business model focused on distressed properties and a strong management team. |
|
| Europe was the worst performing region during the reporting period. The UK’s weakness largely stemmed from fears over the impact on the real estate market of recent interest rate hikes and concern over slowing fundamentals. With the UK real estate stocks now trading 10% below their net asset values (NAV), we believe the market has overreacted. With vacancy rates less than 4% in central London and 2% in the West End, fundamentals remain very solid. Given the amount of capital searching for real estate, we would not be surprised to see increased M&A activity in the second half of this year. |
|
| Although Germany’s performance was also disappointing, market conditions are currently far more favorable than in the past few years, indicating that notable rent increases could be on the horizon. Positive signals from the German economy and its labor market should help drive demand for commercial real estate. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Portfolio Highlights
| |
n | Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) — Boardwalk REIT is an apartment REIT focused in Canada. In particular, it operates in the oil rich part of Western Canada where there is a shortage of housing stock and a growing level of demand. Boardwalk REIT currently owns and operates in excess of 260 properties with approximately 35,800 units totaling approximately 30 million net rentable square feet. It is also Canada’s largest owner/operator of multi-family rental communities. We believe the company has a solid management team, a deep land bank to develop upon and the expertise to deliver on above average earnings expectations. |
|
n | Westfield Group — Westfield is the largest global regional mall owner and developer headquartered in Australia. Of Westfield’s portfolio of malls, 39% are in the U.S., 46% are in Australia/New Zealand and 15% are in the UK. With an experienced management team and a high quality portfolio, we believe Westfield could generate solid earnings growth. |
|
n | Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd. — Mitsubishi Estate is a diversified real estate operating company based in Japan. 60% of its operating profit is derived from its office portfolio, 15% from residential, 11% from its development platform and the balance from its hotel/services businesses. We continue to focus on companies such as Mitsubishi Estate, as it has high quality assets, a strong management team and large development pipeline that will continue to drive its growth. |

3 | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. The Fund will charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. The performance figures do not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee. If reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance quoted. |

GOLDMAN SACHS COMMODITY STRATEGY FUND
What Distinguishes Goldman Sachs’ Commodity Investment Process?
At Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM), the goal of our commodity investment process is to provide consistent, strong performance by actively managing our portfolios within a research-intensive, risk-managed framework.
Goldman Sachs’ Commodity Investment Process
Our commodity investment process emphasizes the importance of long-term investment views. Our team-based approach to managing the Fund ensures continuity and idea sharing among some of the industry’s most experienced fixed income specialists. We pursue strong, consistent performance across commodity markets through:
Commodity-linked notes that offer access to returns of the S&P GSCI Commodity Index which reflects the impact of commodity pricing by weighting those commodities in greatest demand. Commodities in the greatest demand tend to generate the greatest returns. We believe production weighting is vital and may provide a significant advantage when measuring investment performance.
Enhanced cash strategies that capitalize on GSAM’s global fixed income expertise. The Fixed Income Team will employ the full spectrum of capabilities offered, including bottom-up strategies (credit, mortgages, governments/municipals, high yield, and emerging markets debt) and top-down strategies (duration, cross-sector, currency and country) in an attempt to enhance the return of the Fund.
| | |
A Commodity Fund that:
n Provides exposure to the commodity markets without direct investment in physical commodities
n Capitalizes on Goldman Sachs & Co.’s commodity research capabilities
n Utilizes levered structured notes to seek total return while simultaneously implementing an enhanced cash strategy for additional return potential |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Commodity Strategy Fund
Dear Shareholder:
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund during the period from its inception on March 30, 2007 through June 30, 2007.
Performance Review
| |
| From its inception on March 30, 2007 through June 30, 2007, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns of 1.51%, 1.36% and 1.68%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.34% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P GSCI Commodity Index (with dividends reinvested), over the same period. |
|
| During the reporting period, the Fund generated positive results and outperformed its benchmark. Tactical overweights and underweights of holdings within the Energy sector versus the benchmark contributed to its outperformance. |
Commodity Market Review
| |
| During the reporting period, the agricultural and industrial metals sectors delivered positive returns within the S&P GSCI Commodity Index. Continued strength in the Chinese economy, along with supply disruptions, lent support to base metals prices. Expectations of extremely low wheat inventories bolstered returns. Silver prices declined over the period despite a weaker U.S. dollar. |
Investment Strategy
| |
| The Fund invests primarily in commodity-linked investments that provide exposure to the performance of the commodities markets, and other fixed-income and debt instruments. The Fund may also make investments in derivative instruments, including options, futures, swaps, and structured securities. |
Portfolio Positioning
| |
| The majority of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated to investments that are linked to a particular commodity. The Fund’s overall commodity positioning was in line with the weightings of the S&P GSCI Commodity Index. The cash portion of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated across multiple fixed income sectors. At the cross sector level, the Fund held overweight exposures to the mortgage and corporate sectors. The Fund favored super-senior AAA adjustable rate mortgage floaters and AAA commercial mortgage-backed securities. |
|
| We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence. |

Notes to Financial Statements
June 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 Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund, and the Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund (which commenced operations on March 30, 2007) (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”). The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the International Real Estate Securities Fund are diversified portfolios offering three classes of shares — Class A, Class C and Institutional Shares. The Commodity Strategy Fund is a non-diversified portfolio offering three classes of shares — Class A, Class C and Institutional Shares. The Tollkeeper Fund, Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund are diversified portfolios offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Service Class.
Class A Shares of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, Tollkeeper, Structured Tax-Managed Equity, Real Estate Securities and International Real Estate Securities Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class A Shares of the Commodity Strategy Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%. 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% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class Shares of the Funds are not subject to a sales charge. Such sales charges are paid directly to Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) as distributor of the Funds.
The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests a portion of its portfolio in written options. Writing (selling) call options limits the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. When the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund writes (sells) S&P 500 Index or related ETF call options, it receives cash but limits its opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of the S&P 500 Index or related ETF beyond the exercise price (plus the premium received) of the option. In a rising market, the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund could significantly underperform the market. The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s option strategies may not fully protect it against declines in the value of the market. Cash received from premiums will enhance return in declining markets, but the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund will continue to bear the risk of a decline in the value of the securities held in its portfolio. The benefit from writing a call option is limited to the amount of premiums received. In a period of a sharply falling equity market, the Fund will likely also experience sharp declines in its net asset value.
The Tollkeeper Fund invests primarily in equity investments in “Tollkeeper” companies. In general, the investment adviser defines a Tollkeeper company as a high-quality technology, media, or service company that adopts or uses technology to improve its cost structure, revenue, opportunities or competitive advantage. Because of its focus on technology, media and service companies, the Tollkeeper Fund’s investment performance will be closely tied to many factors which affect those companies. The Fund may also invest in a relatively few number of issuers. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value is more likely to have greater fluctuations than that of a fund which is more diversified or invests in other industries.
The Real Estate Securities Fund invests primarily in securities of issuers that are primarily engaged in or related to the real estate industry, and has a policy of concentrating its investments in the real estate industry. Therefore, an investment in the Real Estate Securities Fund is subject to certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. Such risks include, but are not limited to, declines in property values, increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition, zoning changes, and losses from casualty and condemnation.
The International Real Estate Securities Fund invests primarily in securities of issuers outside the United States that are engaged in or related to the real estate industry, and has a policy of concentrating its investments in the real estate industry. Therefore, an investment in the International Real Estate Securities Fund is subject to certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. Such risks include, but are not limited to, declines in property values, increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition, zoning changes, and losses from casualty and condemnation.

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 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. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which considers yield or price with respect to comparable bonds, quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, to determine current value. 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 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. While the independent service may not take into account market or security specific information, under the valuation procedures, these securities might also be fair valued by the adviser by taking into consideration market or security specific information, including, but are not limited to, corporate actions or events, market disruptions or governmental actions.
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, 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, if any, on foreign securities held by the funds which are subject to such tax.
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. Commission Recapture — The Tollkeeper Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Tollkeeper Fund as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
D. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, 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 U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, the Real Estate Securities Fund and the Commodity Strategy Fund, semi-annually for the International Real Estate Securities Fund and annually for the Tollkeeper and Structured Tax-Managed Equity 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, net realized gain, or as a tax return of capital.
In addition, distributions paid by the Structured Tax-Managed Equity, Commodity Strategy, Real Estate Securities and International Real Estate Securities 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.
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 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 or deliver 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 daily 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 Statement 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.
G. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Funds may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts, written options 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. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the International Real Estate Securities and Commodity Strategy Funds are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date of the commencement of operations.
I. 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.
60
GOLDMAN SACHS SPECIALTY FUNDS
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 interest, dividends 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 or loss on investments. 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.
J. Options — When the Funds write call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. Written options are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last ask price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. When a written option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Funds enter into a closing purchase transaction, the Funds realize a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the option is extinguished. When a written call option is exercised, the Funds realize a gain or loss on the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which the Funds purchase upon exercise. There is a risk of loss from a change in value of such options which may exceed the related premiums received.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a protective put option by the Funds, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. Purchased options 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. If an option which the Funds have purchased expires on the stipulated expiration date, the Funds will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the Funds enter into a closing sale transaction, the Funds will realize a gain or loss, depending on whether the sale proceeds for the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Funds exercise a purchased put option, the Funds will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Funds exercise a purchased call option, the cost of the security which the Funds purchase upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid.
K. Commodity Linked Structured Notes — The Commodity Strategy Fund may invest in structured notes whose values are based on the price movements of a commodity index. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index or investment. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked index. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying index and their value may be affected by the performance of commodities as well as other factors. These structured notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest rate risks. The Fund has the option to request prepayment from the issuer at any time. Interest Payments received are recorded as net realized gains in the Statement of Operations. At maturity, or when a note is sold, the Fund records a realized gain or loss.

GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding Management fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer agency fees and expenses, and Service Share fees, 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 that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
The Other Expense limitations for the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, Tollkeeper, Structured Tax-Managed Equity, Real Estate Securities, International Real Estate Securities and Commodity Strategy Funds as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets were 0.054%, 0.064%, 0.004%, 0.004%, 0.064%, and 0.044%, respectively.
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 Funds’ 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 account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.

All classes of the International Real Estate Securities and Commodity Strategy Funds charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. For this purpose, the Funds use a first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method so that shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest will be treated as being redeemed last. Redemption fees are reimbursed to the Funds and are reflected as a reduction in cost of shares repurchased on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Redemption fees are credited to Paid-in capital and are allocated to each share class of the Funds on a pro-rata basis at the time of the 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% (except for the Commodity Strategy Fund which charges at an annual rate of 0.16%) 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Goldman Sachs earned approximately $10,200, $700, $10,700, $3,500 and $2,500 of brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions, executed on behalf of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, Tollkeeper, Structured Tax-Managed Equity, International Real Estate Securities, and Commodity Strategy Funds respectively.
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.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. 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.
Both the Funds and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned by the Funds for the six months ended June 30, 2007, are reported parenthetically under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

6. LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY |
The Funds participate in a $450,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other registered investment companies having management or investment advisory agreements with GSAM or affiliates. Under the most restrictive arrangement under the facility, each Fund must own securities having a market value in excess of 300% of each Fund’s total bank borrowings. The facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate plus a spread. 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 period ended June 30, 2007, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

New Accounting Pronouncement — 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. FAS 157 requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the potential effect of these fair valuations of 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 Funds’ financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required.
9. CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
On December 14, 2006, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, upon the recommendation of the Board’s audit committee approved a change of the Tollkeeper, Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Real Estate Securities Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm from Ernst & Young LLP to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Ernst & Young LLP’s audit reports contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor were their reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Funds and Ernst & Young LLP on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or audit scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports.
Effective July 2, 2007, Goldman Sachs has voluntarily reduced the transfer agent fee on the Commodity Strategy Fund from an annual rate of 0.16% to an annual rate of 0.13% of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class B and Class C shares.

GOLDMAN SACHS SPECIALTY 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”), at a meeting held on June 13, 2007 (the “Annual Contract Meeting”).
To assist the Trustees in their deliberations at the Annual Contract Meeting, and in their reviews of the Funds’ investment performance, expenses and other matters at other regularly scheduled Board meetings, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”) whose members include all of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held meetings on December 14, 2006, February 7, 2007 and May 9, 2007. 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 that exceed specified levels; (d) potential economies of scale and the level of breakpoints in the fees payable by the Funds under the Management Agreement; (e) the relative expense levels of the Funds as compared to comparable funds; (f) capacity constraints relating to certain of the Funds; (g) information on the advisory fees charged to institutional accounts; (h) data relating to the Investment Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Trust and the Funds; (i) the quality of the non-advisory services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; and (j) information on the processes followed by a 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; (k) an update on soft dollars and other trading related issues; and (l) the quality of services provided by the Funds’ unaffiliated service providers and reports on due diligence visits to outside service providers.
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 (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, the breakpoints in the contractual fee rates under the Management Agreement and the expense levels of the Funds.
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

GOLDMAN SACHS SPECIALTY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
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 revenue sharing payments made 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 with their independent counsel without representatives of the Investment Adviser 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 and these other mutual fund investment portfolios were 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 invest 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 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 Funds’ portfolio transactions and sales loads, distribution and service fees 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 the one-, three- and five-year periods, or, in the case of Funds that had commenced investment operations within the past five years, for the applicable periods and since the Fund’s inception. 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 Tollkeeper Fund and Real Estate Securities Fund had provided investment performance within a competitive range for investors. In this connection, the Trustees considered, in particular, the respective market sectors in which the Tollkeeper Fund and the Real Estate Securities Fund invest. The Trustees concluded that the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund also had
89
GOLDMAN SACHS SPECIALTY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
provided investment performance within a competitive range for investors. The Trustees noted that the International Real Estate Securities Fund had commenced investment operations on July 31, 2006, and Commodity Strategy Fund had commenced investment operations on March 30, 2007. The Trustees believed that the International Real Estate Securities Fund and the Commodity Strategy Fund were providing acceptable performance to investors in light of their respective investment policies.
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 comparable 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 (or, in the case of Funds that had commenced investment operations within the past five years, since inception) history comparing each Fund’s expenses to the 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’ “other expenses” ratio (excluding certain expenses) to specified levels and the Investment Adviser’s voluntary undertaking to waive a portion of its management fee for the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund and International Real Estate Securities Fund.
The Board of Trustees also considered the reduction in the contractual fee rate payable by the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund under the Management Agreement that was approved by the Trustees in June 2004, and the breakpoints in the contractual fee rates under each Fund’s Management Agreement for each of the Funds that had been implemented at the following annual percentages of the average daily net assets of the respective Funds:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

|
In approving these fee breakpoints, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the Investment Adviser’s potential economies of scale, and whether the Funds and their shareholders were participating in the benefits of those 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

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
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 2007, 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.
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 transactions. 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 an independent registered public accounting firm 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.
The Trustees noted that, with respect to the Commodity Strategy Fund, which commenced investment operations on March 30, 2007, the Trustees had also considered, at a meeting held on December 13, 2006, the initial appointment of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. to serve as the Fund’s investment adviser and the initial approval of the Fund’s Management Agreement. At that meeting, the Trustees considered, in addition to the above factors, the Investment Adviser’s ability to provide services to the Commodity Strategy Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, although the Fund was new, many of the portfolio personnel who would be providing services to the Fund were currently providing services to other investment portfolios of the Trust. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to provide quality services to the Fund. The Trustees considered the Fund’s expected asset level and the fee comparisons that had been provided. The Trustees noted that the costs to the Investment Adviser in providing its services and the related profitability information would be reviewed periodically by the Trustees. The Trustees also noted the Investment Adviser’s voluntary undertaking to limit the Fund’s “other expenses” ratio (excluding certain expenses) to specified levels. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s potential profitability with respect to the Fund at its anticipated asset level.
After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided by the Investment Adviser, its costs and the Funds’ current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels, and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each of the Funds.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited) — Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2007
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional or Service Shares of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) and contingent deferred sales charges (loads) on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares), 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 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 January 1, 2007 through June 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 “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (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 annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended June 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: |

The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how a Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders); and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Forms N-Q will become available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov within 60 days after the Funds’ first and third fiscal quarters. When available, the Funds’ Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. and information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may also be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

The Goldman Sachs TollkeeperSM and Real Estate Securities Funds may invest in foreign securities, which may be more volatile and less liquid than investment in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. At times, the Funds may be unable to sell certain of their portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all.
The Goldman Sachs TollkeeperSM, Real Estate Securities and International Real Estate Securities Funds may participate in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) market, and a portion of the Funds’ returns consequently may be attributable to its investment in IPOs. The market value of IPO shares may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, and the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. When a fund’s asset base is small, IPOs may have a magnified impact on the fund’s performance. As a fund’s assets grow, it is probable that the effect of the fund’s investment in IPOs on its total returns may not be as significant, which could reduce the fund’s performance.
