Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
This is not a complete list of risks that may affect the Funds. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Funds, please see the Funds’ Prospectuses.
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, which means 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 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 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 distribution. 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 is not suitable for IRAs or other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts. The Fund may make investments in derivative instruments, including, options and financial futures. Derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price, and leveraged, so that a small movement in the price of an underlying security may result in disproportionate losses to the Fund.
The Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund is also subject to the risks associated with writing (selling) call options. Writing 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 may make investments in derivative instruments, including options and financial futures. Derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price, and leveraged, so that a small movement in the price of an underlying security may result in disproportionate losses to the Fund.
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
The Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the United States. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means 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. Securities of such issuers may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to effect sales at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. 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 distribution. 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 is not suitable for IRAs or other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts. The Fund may make investments in derivative instruments, including, options and financial futures. Derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price, and leveraged, so that a small movement in the price of an underlying security may result in disproportionate losses to the Fund.
The Goldman Sachs Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests primarily in international equity securities. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments.

INVESTMENT PROCESS
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and the
Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend
and Premium Funds’ Investment Process?
The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds seek to maximize income and total return. Their portfolios consist primarily of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks. By investing in these securities, and through the use of option call writing, the Funds look to generate an attractive after-tax cash flow.

| | |
| | Goldman Sachs’ U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and Goldman Sachs’ International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds’ 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 provision in the Internal Revenue Code for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010. |
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, 2008.
Performance Review
Over the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −9.83%, −10.17% and −9.64%, respectively. These returns compare to the −11.91% and 1.13% 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 monthly index call options on approximately 35% of the portfolio. The sale of call options obligates us to buy an index at a specified price, also known as the “strike price.” Call option writing tends to reduce volatility. Since inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been about 90% of the realized volatility of the S&P 500 Index. In market environments with modest returns, call option writing could help the Fund outperform the benchmark. During periods of strong market appreciation, it is likely to contribute to the Fund’s underperformance. In markets with large, negative returns, call option writing could modestly help performance.
The Fund made distributions during the period. The Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares distributed $0.11, $0.07, and $0.13 respectively in the first six months of 2008.
Market Review
During the six-month reporting period, the overall stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, generated a return of −11.91%. Eight of the ten sectors in the Index were down for the period, led by the Financial Sector (−29.66%), Telecommunication Services (−17.38%), (+34.2%), Industrials (−13.62%), and Consumer Discretionary (−13.22%) sectors. The Energy Sector was the largest positive contributor (weight multiplied by performance) to the S&P 500 Index return (1.15%).
Portfolio Positioning and Highlights
During the period, the Fund performed consistent with its investment objective. We sold call options on the indexes — as our investment approach requires us to do — and the option premium added to the Fund’s total return. Because the stock market has been down, the options expired “out of the money,” which meant that the underlying security’s value was below the strike price, therefore the Fund benefited from the premium received from the sale of the call options.
Call option writing helped our performance in the first and second quarter of 2008. Stock selection, particularly within the information technology sector, helped our performance and contributed 1.4% to our excess return. We are also pleased with the Fund’s dividend yield during the reporting period. In keeping with our investment approach, we will
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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.

1 | The net asset value (NAV) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding.

4 | The Standardized Average Annual 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 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 Average Annual Total Returns. |
|
| The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our Web site at: 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 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. |

International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund
Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund for the period from inception on January 31, 2008 through June 30, 2008.
Performance Review
Over the period since inception, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −6.02%, −6.29% and −5.72%, respectively. These returns compare to the −1.90% and 1.13% cumulative total returns of the Fund’s benchmarks, the MSCI EAFE Index (with dividends reinvested) and the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Bond Index, over the same time period.
In keeping with our investment approach, we wrote monthly index call options on approximately 35% of the portfolio. The sale of call options obligates us to buy an index at a specified price, also known as the “strike price.” Call option writing tends to reduce volatility. In market environments with smaller returns, call option writing could help the Fund outperform the benchmark. During periods of strong market appreciation, it is likely to contribute to the Fund’s underperformance.
The Fund made distributions during the period. The Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares distributed $0.22, $0.18, and $0.23 respectively in 2008.
Market Review
The broad market, as measured by the MSCI EAFE, was down −1.90% over the period from inception through June 30, 2008. Five of the ten sectors in the Index declined, with Financials (−11.16%), Telecommunications (−10.11%), and Consumer Discretionary (−8.49%) experiencing the largest absolute losses. The Energy (+20.85%) sector was the largest positive contributor (weight multiplied by performance) to the Index’s gains during the period under review.
Portfolio Positioning and Highlights
During the period, the Fund performed consistent with its investment objective. We sold call options on the indexes — as our investment approach requires us to do — and the option premium added to the Fund’s total return. Because the stock market has been down, the options expired “out of the money,” which meant that the underlying security’s value was below the strike price, therefore the Fund benefited from the premium received from the sale of the call options.
Although call option writing helped our performance, stock selection — particularly within the Consumer Discretionary, Materials and Financials sectors hurt our performance. Stock selection within those sectors detracted from relative results by more than 3.0%.
During this time period, we found that in the Consumer Discretionary, Materials and Financials sectors, high dividend paying stocks underperformed their industry peers. (The Fund purchases the higher dividend paying stocks within each sector, but maintains sector weights.) For example, in the Materials sector, Mittal Steel Company, which does not pay a dividend, was up 52%. The three highest dividend paying names, however, were all down
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
between 10 and 25%. Historically, higher dividend paying stocks do not underperform over the long term.
We are also pleased with the Fund’s dividend yield during the reporting period. In keeping with our investment approach, we will continue to invest in dividend-paying large cap stocks within each industry and sector in the MSCI EAFE 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.

What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs Global 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 and the Goldman Sachs Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds investors can access Goldman Sachs’ tax-smart investment expertise while capitalizing on this same strategic approach to portfolio construction.
Goldman Sachs’ Global 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.

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.

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, 2008.
Performance Review
Over the six-month reporting period that ended June 30, 2008, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −11.39%, −11.62%, −11.66%, −11.12% and −11.40%, respectively. These returns compare to the −11.05% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index (the “Index”) (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period.
Our model is based on six investment themes — Valuation, Profitability, Earnings Quality, Management Impact, Momentum and Analyst Sentiment. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. Profitability assesses whether the company is earning more than its cost of capital. Earnings Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from a steady cash flow, as opposed to accruals. Management Impact captures a company’s management strategy and effectiveness through the company’s investing and financing behavior. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information. Finally, the Analyst Sentiment theme looks at how Wall Street analysts’ views about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time.
Market Review
The broad market, as measured by the Index, returned −11.05% over the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. Eight of the ten sectors in the Index were down for the period, with Financials (−27.06%), Telecommunication Services (−16.93%), Consumer Discretionary (−15.34%) and Information Technology (−12.61%) experiencing the largest absolute losses. The Energy sector was the largest positive contributor (weight multiplied by performance) to the Index’s gains during the period (1.50%).
Portfolio Positioning and Highlights
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. The benchmark is the Index, which covers a range of issuers from large-to small cap stocks. Since inception, we are happy to say the Fund has not made a capital gains distribution.
In the first quarter of 2008, the Fund underperformed the benchmark. All of our themes contributed positively to relative returns, with Probability and Earnings quality contributing the most. However, stock selection was weak in the Consumer Discretionary Sector. Our overweights in Health Care and Internet Software and Services also hampered relative performance, although our exposures were no larger than normal.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
In the second quarter of 2008, after a few difficult quarters, we saw a rebound in the performance of our quantitative model. Although the Fund has not fully recovered, we are pleased to report this initial step in the process. All of our themes drove performance and contributed positively to results. Momentum and Earnings Quality performed the best, and stock selection was strongest in the Materials sector.
During the second quarter, we made several enhancements to our process in an effort to improve performance. Some of these enhancements were motivated by the evidence of overcrowding by quantitative managers, or “quantcentration,” during August 2007.
Clearly, it has been an unusually long and difficult period for our portfolios and clients, but we continue to believe in the long-term efficacy of our process. In fact, we have learned a tremendous amount as we have delved into the reasons for our underperformance. The past eight months have been characterized by broad-based selling by managers in the quant space seeking to reduce their exposure to equities. We expect this to continue to subside, but change in the market’s views of quant factors is one of our areas of research. Consequently, we have introduced model and process enhancements, and continue to research the impact of the market environment on excess returns as well as other ways we can improve performance. For all these reasons, we expect our process to be more robust, and our risk-adjusted returns to be stronger, in the future. Our team and Goldman Sachs are committed to doing everything we can to achieve better performance in the future.
We thank you for your investment and will work to earn your continued confidence.

3 | The Standardized Average Annual 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, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent 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 Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. |

| The 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. |
|

Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund
Dear Shareholder,
This report provides an overview on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Structured International
Tax-Managed Equity Fund for the period from inception on January 31, 2008 through June 30, 2008.
Performance Review
Over the period since inception, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −2.20%, −2.40% and −2.00%, respectively. These returns compare to the −1.90% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”) (with dividends reinvested), over the same time period.
The Fund uses a model that 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. Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accruals. Management assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information. Finally, the Analyst Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries.
Market Review
The broad market, as measured by the Index, was down −1.90% over the period from inception through June 30, 2008. Five of the ten sectors in the Index were down for the period, with Financials (−11.16%), Telecommunications (−10.11%), and Consumer Discretionary (−8.49%) experiencing the largest absolute losses. The Energy (+20.85%) sector was the largest positive contributor (weight multiplied by performance) to the Index’s gains during the period.
Portfolio Positioning and Highlights
The Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund seeks to provide investors with a tax-efficient means for maintaining broadly diversified exposure to the entire EAFE equity market. The benchmark is the Index, which covers a range of issuers from large cap stocks. The goal of the Fund is to not generate a capital gains distribution.
During the reporting period, most of our investment themes were mixed. Management Impact detracted, while Momentum, Profitability and Earnings Quality performed the best. Among sectors, stock selection was weakest in the Telecommunications sector and added the most in the Financials sector.
We have recently introduced a series of enhancements, including the addition of new factors, modifications to existing factors, and the development of sector-specific factors. We regard many of the factors we have implemented and those we are currently researching as proprietary. This will help us reduce our reliance on factors that become
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
more commonplace and allow us to migrate our models over time to more unique return opportunities. In addition, we are enhancing our trading methodology to allow for more frequent rebalancing, which should help us take better advantage of data as it is reported while continuing to keep transaction costs as low as possible. We believe that by rebalancing our portfolios on a more frequent basis, we will be able to achieve more timely exposure to our investment themes and can better exploit shorter-lived information sources, thereby improving long-term results.
We thank you for your investment and look forward to your continued confidence.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
The 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 International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (which commenced operations on January 31, 2008), the Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund (which commenced operations on January 31, 2008), (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”). The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium and the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds and are diversified portfolios offering three classes of shares — Class A, Class C and Institutional Shares. The Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service Shares.
Class A Shares of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, Structured Tax-Managed Equity and the Structured International Tax-Managed Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B Shares of Structured Tax-Managed Equity 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 Class Shares of the Funds and Service Class Shares of Structured Tax-Managed Equity is not subject to a sales charge. Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) serves as distributor of the Funds and receives such sales charges of which a certain portion may be retained. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Funds.
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 (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds is to value investments at market value. 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 based on market quotations, which may be furnished by a pricing service or provided by securities dealers. If accurate quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined based on yield equivalents, a pricing matrix or other sources, under valuation procedures established by the Trustees. 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. 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 fair value 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 that have occurred subsequent to the close of foreign securities exchanges. 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 GSAM by taking into consideration market or security specific information as discussed below.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may determine to make an adjustment to the previous closing prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events, to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s Net Asset Value. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: situations relating to one or more single issuers in a market sector, significant fluctuations in foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions or market closings; governmental actions or other developments; as well as the same or similar events which may affect specific issuers or the securities markets even though not tied directly to the securities markets. Other significant events that could relate to a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buyouts; corporate announcements on earnings; significant litigation; and regulatory news such as governmental approvals.
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 for financial reporting purposes 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 taxes.
Net investment income (other than class specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds on a straight-line and/or “pro-rata” basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Funds bear all expenses and fees relating to their respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to their Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares of the Funds separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Income Distribution | | | Capital Gains Distribution | |
Fund | | Declared | | | Paid | | | Declared | | | Paid | |
| |
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and International Equity Dividend and Premium | | | Quarterly | | | | Quarterly | | | | Annually | | | | Annually | |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
Net capital losses, if any, 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 GAAP. 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 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.
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 establishes financial accounting and disclosure requirements for recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return. GSAM has reviewed the tax positions for open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2004-2007) and has determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
E. 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 Statements of Operations.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. This risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
F. Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investment valuations, foreign currency and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates; and (ii) purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
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 effects 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.
G. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the International Equity Dividend and Premium and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date of the commencement of operations.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
H. Options — The Funds may write and/or purchase call and put options on currencies, securities or any securities index consisting of securities in which the Funds may invest. When the Funds write call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and 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 on the underlying future, security or currency transaction, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. When a written call option is exercised, the Funds realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying future, security or currency transaction, 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 future, security or currency transaction 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 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. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 future, security or currency transaction, 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 future, security or currency transaction which the Funds purchase upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid. Purchased over-the counter options are subject to the risk that the counterparty may default on its obligations, which could result in a loss to the Funds.
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 Funds write (sell) S&P 500 Index or related Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) call options, they receive cash but limit their 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 Funds could significantly underperform the market. The Funds’ option strategies may not fully protect it against declines in the value of the market. Cash received from premiums will enhance returns in declining markets, but the Funds will continue to bear the risk of a decline in the value of the securities held in their portfolios. 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 Funds will likely also experience sharp declines in their net asset values.
I. Redemption Fees — All classes of the International Equity Dividend and Premium and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity 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 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 Fund and are reflected as a reduction in cost of shares repurchased on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Redemption fees are credited to paid-in capital and are allocated to each share class of the Fund on a pro-rata basis at the time of the payment.
3. AGREEMENTS
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

C. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the Transfer Agent of the Funds for a fee. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
D. Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
E. Other Agreements — 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 meetings 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 Fund, International Equity Dividend and Premium, Structured Tax-Managed Equity and the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets were 0.054%, 0.054%, 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively.
For the period ended June 30, 2008, GSAM has voluntarily waived certain Management fees and agreed to reimburse certain Other Expenses. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the Transfer Agent resulting in a reduction in the Funds’ expenses.

For the period ended June 30, 2008, Goldman Sachs and its affiliates earned approximately $2,300, $2,100, $1,200 and $14,500 of brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures (executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant) and written options transactions, executed on behalf of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds, respectively.
Fair Value Hierarchy — In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”) which provides guidance in using fair value to measure investment assets and liabilities. The Funds adopted FAS 157 as of the beginning of January 2008. FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

5. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), formerly Boston Global Advisers, 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 money market instruments, but is not a “money market fund” subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 of the Act. 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 GSAL receive compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned by the Funds for the period ended June 30, 2008, are reported parenthetically under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations. The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and the International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds do not participate in the securities lending program.

6. LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY
The Funds (except for the International Equity Dividend and Premium, and the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds, which are pending) participate in a $700,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management or investment advisory agreements with GSAM or affiliates. The facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The committed facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
7. TAX INFORMATION

|
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to the difference in tax treatment of real estate investment trusts, wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on Section 1256 options and futures contracts.
8. OTHER MATTERS
As of June 30, 2008, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GSG”) was the beneficial owner of approximately 31% of the outstanding shares of the International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund.
In addition, as of June 30, 2008, the Income Strategies Portfolio was a beneficial owner of approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of the International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund.
Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds believe the risk of loss under these arrangements to be minimal.
New Accounting Pronouncements — In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held during the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines 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”) with respect to the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved by the Board of Trustees, including those 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 18, 2008 (the “Annual Contract Meeting”).
To assist the Trustees in their deliberations at the Annual Contract Meeting, and in addition to the reviews of the Funds’ investment performance, expenses and other matters at 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 12, 2007, February 6, 2008 and May 21, 2008. At those Committee meetings, the Independent Trustees considered matters relating to the Management Agreement including: (a) the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative and other services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (b) the Funds’ investment performance; (c) the Funds’ management fee arrangements; (d) the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to reimburse certain fees and expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels and the estimated annualized savings resulting from these undertakings; (e) potential economies of scale and the levels of breakpoints in the fees payable by the Funds under the Management Agreement; (f) the relative expense levels of the Funds as compared to those of comparable funds; (g) data relating to the Investment Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Trust and each of the Funds (except for the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity and International Equity and Dividend and Premium Funds, which commenced operations in 2008); (h) the statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements; (i) a summary of fee concessions by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Funds; (j) recently proposed changes to the expense cap arrangements, and proposed amendments to the management fee schedules to further reduce the fee rates charged on assets above specified levels; (k) information on the advisory fees charged to institutional accounts by the Investment Adviser; (l) 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; (m) the current pricing and profitability of the Funds’ transfer agent; and (n) the nature and quality of the services provided by the Funds’ unaffiliated service providers and reports on due diligence conducted by the Investment Adviser with respect to unaffiliated 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) the quality of the Investment Adviser’s services; (b) the structure, staff and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management team; (c) the groups within the Investment Adviser that support the portfolio management team, including the legal and compliance departments, the credit department, the fund controllers group, the tax group, the product services group, the valuation oversight group, the risk management and analysis group, the business planning team and the technology group; (d) the Investment Adviser’s business continuity and disaster recovery planning; (e) the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and its ability to hire and retain talented personnel; (f) the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Funds for transfer agency, securities lending, portfolio brokerage, distribution and other services; (g) the terms of the Management Agreement and agreements with other service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Funds; (h) 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; (i) an update on soft dollars and other trading related issues; and (j) the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest. At the Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees also considered further the Investment Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Trust and the Funds, and each Fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses, including the Funds’ expense trends over time and existing and proposed breakpoints in the fee rates payable under the Management Agreement.
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 sessions at which they reviewed information regarding the Funds’ assets, sales and redemptions, the commission rates paid by the Funds on brokerage transactions, the Investment Adviser’s receipt of research services in connection with those transactions, and the
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees by the Funds and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service and administration plan fees by the Service Shares of the applicable Funds. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution and/or servicing of Fund shares; portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; portfolio manager compensation, the alignment of the interests of the Funds and the portfolio managers and potential conflicts of interest; 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 legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
The presentations made at the 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 agreements for all of the Funds and the other mutual fund portfolios for which the Trustees have responsibility were considered at the same Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees separately considered the Management Agreement as it applied to each Fund.
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 affiliates, their services and the Funds. At those meetings the Trustees received materials relating to the Investment Adviser’s investment management and other services provided under the Management Agreement, including: (a) information on the investment performance of the Funds in comparison to the performance of similar 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 copies of disclosure materials regarding the Funds and their expenses, as well as information on the Funds’ competitive universe and discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
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 that Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) provides as the Funds’ transfer agent and distributor and that Goldman Sachs Agency Lending provides as securities lending agent. 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 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 Independent 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 the implementation and enhancement of compliance systems and education and training initiatives.
Investment Performance
The Independent Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds and the Investment Adviser. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund (with the exceptions of the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity and International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds, which commenced operations in 2008) to the performance of other SEC-registered funds and to rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider. The Independent Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. This information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2007, to the extent that each Fund has been in existence for those periods, and since inception. In addition, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies, as well as in light of periodic analyses of its quality and risk profile. The Independent Trustees considered whether each Fund had operated within its investment policies, and had complied with its investment limitations. The Trustees noted that International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund commenced operations in 2008 and that these Funds were providing acceptable performance to investors in light of their investment policies and market conditions. The Trustees believed that each of the other Funds was providing investment performance within a competitive range for long-term investors and that the Investment Adviser’s continued management would benefit each Fund and its shareholders.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Independent Trustees considered the contractual fee rate payable by each Fund 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.
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of the Funds’ management fees and breakpoints to relevant peer groups and category universes; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and a five-year history (or, in the case of a Fund that commenced investment operations within a shorter period, since the year in which it commenced operations), comparing the Fund’s expenses to the category averages. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency fees, custody and accounting fees, distribution fees, other expenses and waivers/reimbursements to those of peer groups and peer group medians. The Independent Trustees believed that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s voluntary undertaking to limit the Funds’ “other expenses” ratios (excluding certain expenses) to certain specified levels and waive a portion of the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity and Structured Tax-Managed Equity Funds’ management fees.
They also considered comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to institutional accounts and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to the Investment Adviser’s institutional accounts, which generally required fewer services from the Investment Adviser, were less time-intensive and paid lower fees.
The Independent Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and have a general expectation that the relationship will continue. They also noted that shareholders may be able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Independent Trustees reviewed the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins with respect to the Trust and each of the Funds (except for the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity and International Equity and Dividend and Premium Funds, which commenced operations in 2008). In this regard the Independent Trustees reviewed, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and expense allocation methodologies, as well as the report of an independent registered public accounting firm regarding the mathematical accuracy and conformity to the Investment Adviser’s allocation methodologies of the Investment Adviser’s schedule of revenues and expenses. Profitability data for the Trust and the applicable Funds were provided for 2007 and 2006, and the Independent Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability. The Independent Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins both in absolute terms and in comparison to the information on the reported pre-tax profit margins earned by certain other asset management firms.
Economies of Scale
The Independent Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds, which had been implemented at the following annual percentages of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | International
| | | | | | Structured
| |
| | U.S. Equity
| | | Equity Dividend
| | | Structured
| | | International

| |
First $1 billion | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.81 | % | | | 0.70 | % | | | 0.85 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.68 | | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.63 | | | | 0.77 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.65 | | | | 0.69 | | | | 0.60 | | | | 0.73 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.64 | | | | 0.68 | | | | 0.59 | | | | 0.72 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.63 | | | | 0.67 | | | | 0.58 | | | | 0.71 | |
The breakpoints at the $5 and $8 billion asset levels were considered by the Independent Trustees at the May Committee meeting and were approved by the Trustees at the Annual Contract Meeting. These additional breakpoints had been proposed by the Investment Adviser to further share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. In approving these fee breakpoints, the Independent Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s potential economies of scale in managing each Fund, and whether the Funds and their shareholders were participating in the benefits of those economies. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered the amounts 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; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged by other, unaffiliated investment managers to other

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
mutual funds; and the Investment Adviser’s voluntary undertakings to limit fees and “other expenses” to certain amounts. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Contract Meeting in 2008, the Independent Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of ensuring that benefits of scalability would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Independent Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs; (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) soft dollar benefits and research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing transactions on behalf of the Funds; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the cash collateral invests); (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (h) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; and (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Independent Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain other benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) improved servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) improved servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorably with derivatives counterparties as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the advantage received from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; and (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization.
New Funds
The Trustees noted that, with respect to the International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, each of which commenced investment operations on January 31, 2008, the Trustees had also considered, at a meeting held on May 10, 2007, (i) the initial appointment of the Investment Adviser to serve as the Funds’ investment adviser and (ii) the initial approval of the Funds’ Management Agreement. The Management Agreement was approved and continued with respect to these Funds at a meeting held on June 13, 2007. At those meetings, the Trustees considered, in addition to the above factors, the Investment Adviser’s ability to provide services to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, although the Funds were 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 Funds. The Trustees considered the Funds’ anticipated assets under management and the fee comparisons that had been provided. They 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 Funds’ “other expenses” ratios (excluding certain expenses) to specified levels and considered the Investment Adviser’s potential profitability with respect to each Fund at its anticipated asset level.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Independent Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Independent Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels, and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund.
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Fund Expenses (Unaudited) — Period Ended June 30, 2008
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional or Service Shares of a 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, Class and 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, 2008 through June 30, 2008.
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.
