The Balanced Strategy Portfolio is expected to invest a relatively significant percentage of its equity allocation in the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth, Structured Large Cap Value and Structured International Equity Funds and may invest a relatively significant percentage of its assets in the Global Income and High Yield Funds. It is expected that the Portfolio will invest more than 25% of its assets in the Short Duration Government Fund. The Portfolio is subject to the risk factors of those funds. Some of those risk factors include credit and interest rate risk, the price fluctuations of U.S. government securities in response to changes in interest rates; the volatility of investments in the stock market; and currency, economic and political risks of non-U.S. investments. | |

GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIOS
What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’
Approach to Asset Allocation?
We believe that strong, consistent investment results through asset allocation are best achieved through teams of experts working together on a global scale:
| | |
EACH GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGY DELIVERS:
n Comprehensive investment strategies for any life stage
n Automatic diversification and risk management benefits
n Forward-looking, quarterly tactical reallocation
n Simplicity and efficiency | | n Goldman Sachs’ Quantitative Strategies Team determines the strategic and quarterly tactical asset allocations. The team is comprised of over 70 professionals with significant academic and practitioner experience and manages more than $100.0 billion in assets as of June 30, 2007 for institutional, high net worth and individual investors.
n Goldman Sachs’ Portfolio Management Teams offer expert management of the mutual funds that are contained within each Asset Allocation Strategy. These same teams manage portfolios for institutional and high net worth investors. Goldman Sachs Asset Allocation Investment Process

Quantitative Strategies Team Each asset allocation portfolio represents a diversified global portfolio on the efficient frontier. The portfolios differ in their long-term objective, and therefore, their asset allocation mix. The long-term strategic asset allocation is the primary source of risk and the corresponding primary determinant of total return. It therefore represents an anchor, or neutral starting point, from which tactical asset allocation decisions are made.

Quantitative Strategies Team For each portfolio, the strategic asset allocation is combined with a measured amount of tactical risk. Changing market conditions create opportunities to capitalize on investing in different countries and asset classes relative to others over time. Within each strategy, we shift assets away from the strategic allocation (over and underweighting certain asset classes and countries) to seek to benefit from changing conditions in global capital markets. Using proprietary portfolio construction models to maintain each Portfolio’s original risk/return profile over time, the team makes eight active decisions based on its current outlook on global equity, fixed income and currency markets. |
| | | | |
| | n Asset class selection | | Are U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds or cash more attractive? |
| | n Regional equity selection | | Are U.S. or non-U.S. equities more attractive? |
| | n Regional bond selection | | Are U.S. or non-U.S. bonds more attractive? |
| | n U.S. equity style selection | | Are U.S. value or U.S. growth equities more attractive? |
| | n U.S. equity size selection | | Are U.S. large-cap or U.S. small-cap equities more attractive? |
| | n Equity country selection | | Which international countries are most attractive? |
| | n High yield selection | | Are high yield or core fixed income securities more attractive? |
| | n Emerging/developed equity selection | | Are emerging or developed equities more attractive? |
| | |
| | 
Mutual Fund Portfolio Management Teams Each portfolio is comprised of 6-15 underlying Goldman Sachs Mutual Funds managed by broad, deep portfolio management teams. In addition to global tactical asset allocation, we seek to generate excess returns through security selection within each underlying mutual fund. Whether in the equity or fixed income arenas, these portfolio management teams share a commitment to firsthand fundamental research and seek performance driven by successful security selection. |

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Asset Allocation Portfolios
Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Asset Allocation Portfolios (individually, the “Portfolio,” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) for the six-month period that ended June 30, 2007. For the Income Strategies Portfolio and Satellite Strategies Portfolio only, this report covers the period from the Portfolios’ inception on March 30, 2007 through June 30, 2007.
Asset Allocation
| |
| Overall, the various Portfolios invest their assets in a strategic mix of underlying equity and fixed income funds. Every June, we reset our strategic benchmarks to reflect current market expectations and to bring the total equity portion of the various Portfolios in-line with our long-term target weights. During the rest of the year, we allow these strategic targets to shift with their respective market returns but we continue to adjust our tactical allocations to reflect our views. We adjust the overall asset allocation each quarter based on current market conditions and our economic and market forecasts. By reallocating the Portfolios on a quarterly basis, we seek to enhance performance over the long term. |
Regional and Sector Preferences
| |
n | Asset Class Selection — Our quantitative models preferred international assets during the first half of 2007. We favored foreign stocks over U.S. stocks and strongly preferred international bonds over U.S. bonds. Our asset class timing decision, which tactically positions our exposure to stocks, bonds and cash, was one of our most significant tactical decisions. As we began 2007, we held a negative view on bonds and a positive view on stocks and cash. To further increase our equity exposure going into the second quarter, we reduced our tactical cash position. |
|
| In our equity style and size allocation models, we had a moderate bias toward U.S. growth stocks versus U.S. value stocks due to high risk premiums and attractive valuations. During the first quarter of 2007, favorable corporate financing conditions led to our decision to overweight small-cap stocks. However, we reversed our position during the second quarter in anticipation of increased market risk, as we believed larger firms were better positioned for this type of environment. |
|
| In the fixed income sector, we were overweight high yield issues during the first quarter of 2007. As market risk increased, we shifted our position and were overweight investment grade fixed income during the second quarter. High yield bonds tend to offer higher returns, but they also have higher levels of default risk. Given the signals of market uncertainty, we did not believe the premium offered by high yield bonds provided adequate compensation for the risk. |
|
| Meanwhile, because we found that the emerging markets offered greater long-term value than more developed markets, we were consistently overweight emerging equity. |
|
n | Equities — We held a modest overweight in international equities relative to U.S. equities during the first quarter of 2007. However, we increased our international equity exposure entering the second quarter because of the relatively strong momentum exhibited by the foreign equity markets and supportive macroeconomic conditions. |
3
PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
| |
| While the aforementioned views reflect our overall positioning on U.S. equities relative to international equities, we also implemented our country level views within the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund. Among international equity markets, Europe remained one of our preferred global regions. We continued to find Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands particularly attractive sources of value. In Asia, Hong Kong was relatively attractive, but Japan was less so because of weak momentum. We remained bearish on the U.K. and Australia given unattractive valuations and less supportive macroeconomic conditions. |
|
n | Fixed Income — We strongly preferred international fixed income over U.S. fixed income during the reporting period. Foreign macroeconomic conditions appeared more favorable for international debt markets and the level of real yield offered in the U.S. remained unattractive relative to foreign bond issues. |
Performance
| |
| The performance of your Portfolio is driven primarily by three factors: 1) strategic asset allocation policy, 2) underlying fund performance and 3) asset allocation decisions. |
| |
1. | CONTRIBUTION OF STRATEGIC ASSET ALLOCATION POLICY |
| |
| On an absolute basis, the Asset Allocation Portfolios showed strong performance for the six-month period. In general, the Portfolios’ returns were driven by their equity exposure, while their fixed income exposure was also moderately positive. They also benefited from the diversification provided by our allocations to less traditional asset classes, such as emerging equity, emerging debt and commodities. |
| |
2. | CONTRIBUTION OF UNDERLYING FUND PERFORMANCE |
| |
| The second component of the Portfolios’ performance is the contribution from our underlying fund managers. Overall, underlying fund security selection detracted from the performance of all of the Portfolios over the six-month period, although eight of the 14 underlying funds outperformed their respective benchmarks. The weakest performers included the Structured Small Cap Fund, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the Structured Large Cap Growth Fund and the Real Estate Securities Fund. |
| |
3. | CONTRIBUTION OF ASSET ALLOCATION DECISIONS |
| |
| Our Global Tactical Asset Allocation (GTAA) decisions generated positive returns across all Portfolios during the six-month period. They added approximately 70 basis points of excess return in the Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, 80 basis points in the Growth Strategy Portfolio, 85 basis points in the Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and 60 basis points in the Balanced Strategy Portfolio. |
4
PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
| |
| Our decision to overweight U.S. stocks relative to U.S. bonds produced a particularly strong contribution during the reporting period. In addition, the Portfolios benefited from our equity country selection strategy, as implemented within the Structured International Equity Fund. |
|
n | Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio — During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns of 4.18%, 3.79%, 3.73%, 4.37% and 4.20%, respectively. |
|
n | Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio — During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns of 5.40%, 5.03%, 5.07%, 5.58% and 5.35%, respectively. |
|
n | Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio — During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns of 6.73%, 6.31%, 6.36%, 6.91% and 6.61%, respectively. |
|
n | Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio — During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns of 7.98%, 7.59%, 7.62%, 8.21% and 7.91%, respectively. |
Income Strategies Portfolio
| |
| On a strategic basis, the Portfolio’s return was driven by the performance of its equity exposure. In addition, the aforementioned asset allocation decisions contributed approximately 30 basis points of excess return. |
|
| Although seven of the 10 underlying funds outperformed their benchmarks, underlying fund security selection detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund experienced the poorest performance relative to its benchmark; however, given its strategy of selling call options, this outcome was not unexpected during a period of strong equity market returns such as the second quarter. |
|
n | Goldman Sachs Income Strategies Portfolio — For the period from the Fund’s inception on March 30, 2007 to June 30, 2007, the Portfolio’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns of 1.23%, 1.00% and 1.30%, respectively. |
5
PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Satellite Strategies Portfolio
| |
| Emerging markets equity was the Portfolio’s strongest performing asset class. International small cap stocks and commodities also performed well. In contrast, domestic and international real estate both experienced a particularly difficult period. |
|
| The underlying funds collectively underperformed their benchmarks during the abbreviated reporting period, with the Emerging Markets Equity Fund experiencing the poorest performance relative to its benchmark. |
|
n | Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio — For the period from the Fund’s inception on March 30, 2007 to June 30, 2007, the Portfolio’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns of 2.34%, 2.25% and 2.48%, respectively. |
|
| We hope this summary has been helpful to you in your understanding of how we manage your Portfolio. We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us and we look forward to your continued support. |

1 | The net asset value (NAV) represents the net assets of the class of the Portfolio (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Portfolio’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |

2 | 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 B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional and Service 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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. |

GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIOS
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 Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Income Strategies Portfolio and Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio, collectively, the “Portfolios” or, individually, a “Portfolio”. Balanced Strategy, Growth and Income Strategy, Growth Strategy and Equity Growth Strategy are diversified portfolios offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service Shares. Income Strategies and Satellite Strategies are diversified portfolios offering three classes of shares — Class A, Class C and Institutional Shares.
Class A Shares of the Portfolios are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B Shares of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class Shares of the Portfolios are not subject to a sales charge. Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), as distributor of the Portfolios, receives such sales charges of which a certain portion may be retained. The Goldman Sachs Income Strategies and Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolios commenced operations on March 30, 2007.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolios. 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 — Each Portfolio invests in a combination of underlying mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”) for which Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) and Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), affiliates of Goldman Sachs, act as investment advisers. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Because each Portfolio invests primarily in other mutual funds, which fluctuate in value, the Portfolios’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Underlying Funds may invest in foreign securities that are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the Trustees consistent with applicable regulatory guidance.
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Purchases and sales of the Underlying Funds are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of the Underlying Funds are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and capital gains distributions from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. 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 Portfolio based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Portfolio of the Trust are allocated to the Portfolios based on a straight-line and/or “pro-rata” basis depending upon the nature of the expense. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by each Portfolio will vary.
Class A, Class B and Class C Shareholders of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Portfolio’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.
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 a Portfolio’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gains, or as a tax return of capital.
E. Dividend Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Income | | Capital Gains |
| | Distributions | | Distributions |
| | | | |
Portfolio | | Declared & Paid | | Declared & Paid |
|
Balanced Strategy, Growth and Income Strategy and Satellite Strategies | | | Quarterly | | | | Annually | |
|
Growth Strategy and Equity Growth Strategy | | | Annually | | | | Annually | |
|
Income Strategies | | | Monthly | | | | Annually | |
|
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Portfolios, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Portfolios may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Portfolios seek to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolios’ custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Portfolios are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Portfolios, together with other registered investment companies having management or investment advisory agreements with GSAM, or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.

5. LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY |
The Portfolios 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, the Portfolios must own securities having a market value in excess of 300% of each Portfolio’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 Portfolios based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolios did not have any borrowings under the facility.

New Accounting Pronouncement — On September 15, 2006, FASB released Statement Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the potential effect of these fair valuations 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 financial statements, however; additional disclosures will be required.
8. 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 Balanced Strategy, Growth and Income Strategy, Growth Strategy and Equity Growth Strategy Portfolios’ 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 above-named Portfolios 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.

(the “Investment Adviser”) for the Portfolios.
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 Portfolios’ investment performance, expenses and other matters at 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 Portfolios’ investment performance; (b) the Portfolios’ 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 relating to the fees payable by the underlying funds in which the Portfolios invest (the “Underlying Funds”); (e) the relative expense levels of the Portfolios as compared to comparable funds; (f) data relating to the Investment Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Trust and the Portfolios; (g) capacity issues relating to certain of the Underlying Funds; (h) the quality of the non-advisory services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (i) 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, fee and expense comparisons for the Portfolios; (j) an update on soft dollars and other trading related issues with respect to the Underlying Funds; and (l) the quality of the services provided by the Portfolios’ 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 Underlying 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 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 Portfolios and the Underlying Funds for transfer agency, securities lending, distribution 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios’ investment performance, fees and expenses, including the Portfolios’ expense trends over time, the breakpoints in the contractual fee rates payable by the Underlying Funds, and the expense levels of the Underlying 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 Underlying Funds on brokerage transactions, the Investment Adviser’s receipt of research services in connection with those transactions, and the payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees by the Portfolios. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by the Investment Adviser, portfolio manager compensation, the alignment of the interests of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios and other mutual fund portfolios for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. While the Management Agreements for all of the Portfolios and these other mutual fund portfolios were approved at the same Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees considered the Management Agreement as it applied to each Portfolio 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 Portfolios. 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 Portfolios in comparison to other mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; (b) general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds invest; (c) compliance reports; and (d) expenses borne by the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds. In addition, the Trustees were provided with disclosure materials regarding the Goldman Sachs mutual funds and their expenses that are 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 Portfolios and the Underlying Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. These services include services as transfer agent, securities lending agent and distributor. In addition, affiliates of the Investment Adviser receive compensation in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions by the Underlying Funds and sales loads, distribution and service fees on the sale of certain classes of shares offered by the Portfolios. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser was both able to commit substantial financial and other resources to the operations of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios and the Investment Adviser, including education and training initiatives.

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Portfolios and the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees compared the investment performance of the Portfolios to the performance of other SEC-registered funds and to rankings and ratings issued by the Outside Data Provider. The Trustees also reviewed the Portfolios’ investment performance relative to their respective performance benchmarks. This information on the Portfolios’ investment performance was provided for the one-, three-and five-year periods, or, in the case of Portfolios that had commenced investment operations within the past five years, for the applicable periods and since the Portfolio’s inception. In addition, the Trustees considered the investment performance trends of the Portfolios over time, and reviewed the investment performance of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios had operated within their investment policies, and their record of compliance with their investment limitations. The Trustees concluded that the Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio, and Growth Strategy Portfolio were continuing to provide competitive, and in some cases very competitive, performance for long-term investors. The Trustees noted that the Satellite Strategies Portfolio and Income Strategies Portfolio had each commenced investment operations on March 30, 2007. The Trustees believed that the Satellite Strategies Portfolio and Income Strategies Portfolio 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 Portfolios under the Management Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios and the Portfolios’ total operating expense ratios (before and after voluntary expense reimbursements) were compared to similar information for comparable mutual funds advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms. Most of the comparisons of the Portfolios’ fee rates and total operating expense ratios were prepared by the Outside Data Provider.
More particularly, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by Outside Data Provider of the expense rankings of the Portfolios. The analyses provided a comparison of the Portfolios’ management fee rates to relevant peer groups and category universes; an expense analysis which compared each Portfolio’s expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and a five- year (or in the case of Portfolios that had commenced investment operations within the past five years, since inception) history comparing each Portfolio’s expenses to the category average. The analyses also compared the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios.
The Board of Trustees also considered the reductions in the contractual fee rates payable under the Management Agreement by certain of the Portfolios that was approved by the Trustees in 2004, the fees and expenses borne by the Underlying Funds, and the breakpoints in the contractual fee rates payable by the Underlying Funds that had been implemented. In addition, the Trustees noted the Investment Adviser’s voluntary undertaking to limit the “other expenses” ratios (excluding certain expenses) of each Portfolio to specified levels.
In considering the management fee payable by the Portfolios and the fee breakpoints for the Underlying Funds, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the Investment Adviser’s potential economies of scale, and whether the Portfolios and their shareholders were participating in the benefits of those economies. In this regard, the Trustees considered the amount of assets in the Portfolios; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and the profits realized by them; and information comparing the fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with the 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 for the Underlying Funds were a way to ensure that benefits of scalability would be passed along to shareholders, including shareholders of the Portfolios, at the specified asset levels.
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from the Portfolios and the Underlying 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 Underlying 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 Underlying 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 Portfolios. 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 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
The Trustees noted that, with respect to the Income Strategies Portfolio and Satellite Strategies Portfolio, which commenced investment operations on March 30, 2007, the Trustees had considered, at a meeting held on February 7, 2007, (i) the initial appointment of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. to serve as each Portfolio’s investment adviser and (ii) the initial approval of each Portfolio’s Management Agreement. At that meeting, the Trustees considered, in addition to the above factors, the Investment Adviser’s ability to provide services to these Portfolios. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, although the Portfolios were new, many of the portfolio personnel who would be providing services to the Portfolios 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 Portfolios. The Trustees considered the Portfolios’ anticipated assets under management 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 considered the Investment Adviser’s potential profitability with respect to the Portfolios at their anticipated asset levels.
After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded that the management fees paid by the Portfolios were reasonable in light of the services provided by the Investment Adviser, its costs and the Portfolios’ current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels, and that Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each of the Portfolios.

GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIOS
Fund Expenses (Unaudited) — Period Ended June 30, 2007
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional or Service Shares of the Portfolios you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges (loads) on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares), and redemption fees (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares); and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service Shares of the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from 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 entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account for this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 Portfolios 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 Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period ended June 30, 2007. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized 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. Expense ratios for the most recent fiscal half year may differ from expense ratios based on one-year data in the financial highlights. The expense ratios for the period were as follows: |

The reports concerning the Portfolios included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Portfolios in the future. These statements are based on Portfolio management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Portfolios, 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 Portfolios. 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 Portfolios use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how a Portfolio 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.
The Portfolios file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Portfolios’ Forms N-Q will become available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov within 60 days after the Portfolios’ first and third fiscal quarters. When available, the Portfolios’ 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. When available, Forms N-Q may be obtained upon request and without charge by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders).
Asset Allocation Portfolios are subject to underlying portfolio expenses as well as the expenses of the portfolio, and the cost of this type of investment may be higher than a mutual fund that only invests in stocks and bonds.
Holdings and allocations shown may not be representative of current or future investments. Holdings and allocations may not include the Portfolios’ entire investment portfolio, which may change at any time. Portfolio holdings should not be relied on in making investment decisions and should not be construed as research or investment advice regarding particular securities.
Portfolios on the efficient frontier are optimal in both the sense that they offer maximal expected return for some given level of risk and minimal risk for some given level of expected return. The efficient frontier is the line created from the risk-reward graph, comprised of optimal portfolios. The optimal portfolios plotted along the curve have the highest expected return possible for the given amount of risk.
This material is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by a current Prospectus. Please consider a Portfolio’s objectives, risks, and charges and expenses, and read the Prospectus carefully before investing. The Prospectus contains this and other information about the Portfolios.
