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’ Prospectus.
The Concentrated International Equity Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of 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. Because the Fund may concentrate its investments in specific countries or regions, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in those countries or regions. The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.
The International Small Cap Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in non-U.S. small-cap companies. 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. Stocks of smaller companies are often more volatile and less liquid and present greater risks than stocks of larger companies. 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. The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions. The Fund may participate in the initial public offering (“IPO”) market. The market value of IPO shares may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, and the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.
The Strategic International Equity Fund is expected to invest in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental International
Equity Funds
Market Review
Overall, international equities generated positive but modest returns during the six-month period ended April 30, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”). The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) (Net) Index (unhedged) (The “MSCI EAFE Index”) posted a return of 2.48%.* From a sector perspective, investors generally embraced economically-sensitive sectors, such as materials, industrials and information technology, which were the best performers during the Reporting Period. In contrast, more traditionally defensive sectors, typically closely tied to the economic cycle, such as telecommunication services, utilities and health care, were weaker. Financials, which comprises approximately 25% of the MSCI EAFE Index, performed poorly during the Reporting Period, generally reflecting concerns over potential raising of capital and the overall health of banks. Consumer staples outpaced the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, a particularly strong showing for a normally defensive sector group, due to a high level of merger and acquisition activity.
As the Reporting Period began in November 2009, international equities capped a 2009 of extremes on a note of moderation, with modest gains amidst a backdrop of mixed corporate earnings reports and economic data that left investors with no clear directional signals. In Europe, as in the U.S., many companies beat earnings expectations but did so primarily on cost cutting rather than on sales, thereby muting investor enthusiasm. Encouraging news that the U.S. officially came out of recession during the fourth quarter of 2009 was offset by stubbornly high unemployment, which surpassed 10%, and continued mixed reports on housing. Europe also emerged out of recession in the last months of 2009, but sovereign ratings for Eurozone countries became the bigger focus. The euro was weakened as Greece was downgraded by several ratings agencies, and Spain’s and Portugal’s outlooks were revised from stable to negative. Weakness in Japanese equities was largely driven by concerns regarding significant raising of capital at many corporations and continued worries about the strong yen. In contrast to the muted returns of the major developed markets, strong commodity prices drove returns in Australia as well as the emerging market countries during the last months of 2009.
International equities began 2010 with further gains, overcoming a weak start in January with modest increases in February and strong performance in March. The first calendar quarter of 2010 marked the fourth consecutive quarter of gains for international equities, although underlying economic data and sentiment offered less directional conviction.
Greece’s debt troubles dominated equity markets the last four months. European equities were among the weakest performers, as sovereign default worries, the potential cost of a Greek bailout, a sinking euro, U.K. electoral uncertainty, and disruption from a six-day ban on air travel caused by an Icelandic volcanic ash cloud piled onto already sluggish Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth estimates. The Greek government agreed to accept a proposed 45 billion euro bailout package from European Union countries and the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”). However, domestic equity market weakness and soaring Greek bond yields persisted. Such financial market weakness reflected three major

MARKET REVIEW
concerns. First, Standard & Poor’s downgraded Greece’s debt to below investment grade. Second, many believed that Greece will ultimately need as much as 120 to 130 billion euros over the next three years. And third, details and conditions of the Greek bailout were still not finalized. Debt-heavy Portugal and Spain were also downgraded by the independent rating agencies, which weighed on their domestic equity markets, even though their debt retained investment grade status.
Having been a notable laggard in the last months of 2009, Japanese equities generated outsized returns in 2010 through April 30 fueled by the benefits of a weaker yen and evidence of a strong pick-up in regional demand, particularly from China, which trumped lingering concerns over Japanese economic and corporate health. Looking elsewhere in the region, actual or looming interest rate increases weighed on the equity markets of high growth economies in both developed and emerging Asia year-to-date through April 30, 2010, as their central banks sought to prevent economic overheating — economic growth growing too fast — and keep inflation in check.
During the Reporting Period overall, currency had a more significant impact on equity market returns for U.S. investors than usual. The international equity markets actually performed well as measured in local currencies. However, because of the weakness of the euro, yen and other major developed market currencies during the Reporting Period, international equity market returns as measured in U.S. dollars were muted. Remember, as the value of the U.S. dollar increases relative to other currencies, the dollar value of foreign investments typically decreases, and vice versa.
Small-Cap International Equities
The MSCI Small Cap EAFE Index gained 6.28% during the reporting period ended April 30, 2010. Small-capitalization international equities overall were significantly stronger than their larger-cap counterparts early in the Reporting Period, as there tends to be a bit more cyclicality to small-cap stocks, and cyclical segments of the equity markets performed best in the latter part of 2009. Such broad equity market trends continued into 2010, but in a less pronounced manner, and thus small-cap international equities continued to outperform larger-cap stocks during the first four months of 2010 but to a more modest degree. Overall, small-cap international equities were driven by the same factors as large-cap international equities during the Reporting Period.
Looking Ahead
We maintain a positive view ahead for the remainder of 2010 with regard to economic growth and equity market performance. By the end of the Reporting Period, most developed market economies had already emerged from recession and were seeing modest GDP growth and historically average equity market returns. Economic indicators remained mixed, however, and thus did not provide clear trends, particularly as volatility and correlations continued to retreat from extreme levels.
We believe corporate earnings should accelerate in the months ahead due to economic improvement and unprecedented company-level operating leverage driven by aggressive cost cutting. Low borrowing costs should be a further tailwind to earnings. As investors
MARKET REVIEW
refocus on fundamentals, we believe that the remainder of 2010 will be a fertile environment to generate added value for investors through research and stock-picking skills.
We continue to anticipate increased stock-level differentiation going forward, distinguishing quality companies with robust business models from those likely to remain challenged. As the Great Recession concludes and massive global economic stimulus unwinds over the balance of 2010, we believe companies with the potential to sustain themselves and grow through this upcoming transition period may be the most attractive.
Our bottom-up approach to investing challenges us to focus on finding companies with strong or improving fundamentals that we believe will be winners over the long term. As always, we maintain our focus on high-quality equity investments trading at compelling valuations and intend to stay true to our long-term discipline as we seek to navigate potentially volatile markets ahead.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Concentrated International Equity Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Concentrated International Equity Fund’s performance and positioning for the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Concentrated International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.45%, 3.14%, 3.16%, 3.75% and 3.47%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.48% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged) (the “MSCI Index”), during the same period. Effective March 1, 2010, the Fund changed its benchmark from the MSCI EAFE (Gross) Index (unhedged) to the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged). During the Reporting Period, the cumulative total return of the MSCI EAFE (Gross) Index (unhedged) was 2.68%. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund’s outperformance of the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. From a sector perspective, effective stock selection was rather broad-based. Sector positioning overall also helped, but to a far more modest degree. From a country perspective, stock selection was particularly strong in Europe, especially Germany, and in Japan. This more than offset weaker relative performance in developed Asia ex-Japan, including Hong Kong. |
While country weightings are the direct result of individual stock selection, country allocation overall helped the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. A modestly underweighted allocation to Europe, and within that, a slightly overweighted exposure to the U.K., was beneficial to Fund results given the weakness of the euro during the Reporting Period and the comparatively less weak British sterling vs. the U.S. dollar. Having no exposure to Greece and Portugal and only a limited position in Spain, each of whose equity markets struggled along with its much-headlined economic troubles, also proved prudent.
| |
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | Swiss agricultural chemicals company Syngenta was the strongest positive contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose on the increase in soft commodity prices, published strong sales figures in 2009 and market share gains. Management also reiterated full-year profit guidance, which stood in contrast to that of many of its peers. Having an overweighted position in the strongly performing Syngenta for much of the Reporting Period helped as did a well-timed sale of the Fund’s position in the materials company. |
Another top contributor to performance during the Reporting Period was Japanese video game manufacturer Nintendo. Nintendo’s shares rose as improving strength in consumer demand bolstered gaming stocks generally. The company’s shares also jumped on the announcement of strong sales of its Wii hardware and software during the 2009 holiday season.
German auto manufacturer Daimler was another particularly strong performer. Daimler, which was a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, benefited from improved demand in the automobile market broadly. Daimler also posted strong gains in the first quarter of 2010 and raised guidance for the remainder of the calendar year based in part on anticipation of increasing demand.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were the Netherlands telecommunications services company Koninklijke KPN, French banking conglomerate Societe Generale and Swiss medical device company Nobel Biocare. |
Koninklijke KPN was the worst performing holding in the Fund’s portfolio during the Reporting Period, as its share price fell on uncertainty surrounding the upcoming mobile telephone spectrum auctions in Germany and the Netherlands and in anticipation of the announcement of reductions to the mobile termination rates in the Netherlands.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Weakness in telecommunication services broadly, a sector viewed as a particularly defensive one during a time when more economically-sensitive sectors rallied most, also weighed on the stock. We trimmed but did not eliminate the Fund’s position in Koninklijke KPN during the Reporting Period.
The Fund’s position in French banking conglomerate Societe Generale also detracted from performance. Societe Generale had disappointing results during the Reporting Period primarily because it had to write down some U.S. subprime mortgage exposure and because there were concerns it may have to raise capital. Also, the financials sector overall performed poorly during the Reporting Period, and European banks were a particularly weak industry within the sector given the overhang of Greece, as well as concerns about capital raising broadly. We sold the Fund’s position in Societe Generale by the end of the Reporting Period.
Exposure to Swiss health care company Nobel Biocare detracted from the Fund’s results. Health care companies overall lagged the performance of the MSCI Index, with uncertainty in U.S. health care reform legislation weighing on the sector for much of the Reporting Period. This was particularly the case for many medical device companies such as Nobel Biocare, which specializes in dental implants, given uncertainty as to how any new legislation would affect insurance reimbursements.
| |
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI Index were consumer discretionary, materials and information technology, all economically-sensitive segments of the equity market. The consumer discretionary and information technology sectors performed well, as economic data out of the U.S. and Europe improved, especially data regarding better consumer and business spending. Continued strength in commodities prices overall supported the materials sector. Stock selection in each of these three sectors was effective during the Reporting Period. Stock selection was particularly strong in consumer discretionary, led by a well-timed trade in German auto manufacturer Daimler and a position in the strongly-performing Japanese video game maker Nintendo. Fund weightings in these sectors were not a major factor during the Reporting Period. |
The biggest detractors from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were industrials, financials and telecommunication services. An underweighted allocation to the strongly-performing industrials sector hurt. Stock selection within financials actually contributed positively to the Fund’s results, but having a modest overweight to one of the worst performing sectors during the Reporting Period detracted. Conversely, having an underweighted position in telecommunication services, the worst performing sector in the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period helped, but such positioning was more than offset by the detracting effect of a holding in the weakly performing Koninklijke KPN, the Netherlands telecommunication services company.
| |
Q | Which countries or regions most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in a concentrated portfolio or in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI Index. |
That said, the Fund’s overall positioning in Japan, Spain and Germany contributed most positively to its returns relative to the MSCI Index. The countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were the Netherlands, Hong Kong and France.
| |
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In addition to the purchase of Daimler, already mentioned, we re-initiated a position in Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis, having sold out of the Fund’s position during the second quarter of 2009. We believe Novartis has scope to expand its profit margins. We further believe that fears about pending drug patent expirations might be overdone, as developments in the company’s drug pipeline could help |

| |
| to offset the loss of revenues. We also established a position in Japanese auto maker Honda based on increasing global demand for autos. In our view, Japanese auto makers could particularly benefit from strong demand in China. |
In addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we eliminated the Fund’s holding in U.K. health care company Shire, Swiss medical device company Synthes and U.K. bank Barclays. We sold the Fund’s position in Shire as it was approaching the price target we had set for the stock. We sold the Fund’s position in Synthes over concerns regarding product pricing and delays. We exited Barclays following strong share price appreciation that hit our price target in early 2010 after the company reported strong 2009 results.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of our bottom-up stock selection process rather than any top-down macroeconomic views or industry bets. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to the health care and consumer discretionary sectors increased, and its allocations to consumer staples, financials and materials decreased. |
Resulting from various stock selection decisions, the Fund’s exposure to Switzerland, Germany and Finland increased, and its allocations to the U.K. and Hong Kong decreased.
| |
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
|
A | As of April 30, 2010, the Fund had more exposure to Switzerland, the U.K. and Ireland and less exposure to France, Spain, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands relative to the MSCI Index. |
From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the MSCI Index in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors at the end of April 2010. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI Index in materials, utilities, financials and consumer staples and rather neutral positions relative to the MSCI Index in energy, information technology, telecommunication services and industrials.
As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and regional positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect.

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. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
2 | The MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged, with dividends reinvested) is a market capitalization-weighted composite of securities in 21 developed markets. The Index is unmanaged and the figures for the Index do not include any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Effective March 1, 2010, the Fund changed it’s benchmark from the MSCI EAFE (Gross) Index (unhedged) to the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged). In the Investment Adviser’s opinion, the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged) is a more appropriate benchmark against which to measure the performance of the Fund, because it reflects dividends paid and deducts taxes. |

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 and 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). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional and Service Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. Effective November 2, 2009, the Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds). The Fund will charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. The performance figures do not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee. If reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance quoted. |
These 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.

International Small Cap Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Fund’s performance and positioning for the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 12.15%, 11.79%, 11.76%, 12.35% and 11.98%, respectively. These returns compare to the 8.76% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Developed ex-U.S. Small Cap Index (Net) (the “S&P Index”), during the same period. Effective March 1, 2010, the Fund changed its benchmark from the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Small Cap (Gross) Index to the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Small Cap (Net) Index. During the Reporting Period, the cumulative total return of the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Small Cap (Gross) Index was 8.95%. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund’s outperformance of the S&P Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. From a sector perspective, effective stock selection was rather broad-based. From a country perspective, stock selection was particularly strong in Japan, Germany and Australia. This more than offset weaker stock selection in South Korea. While the direct result of individual stock selection, country allocation and sector positioning overall also helped, but to far more modest degrees. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | Germany’s semiconductor company Dialog Semiconductor was the leading positive contributor to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The company, which is the producer of power management chips and the developer of a new lighting technology known as PM-OLED, secured several contracts by leading handset manufacturers during the second half of 2009. This significantly shifted the company’s growth trajectory upward. As Dialog Semiconductor is not a component of the S&P Index, its strong returns particularly boosted the Fund’s relative results. We trimmed the Fund’s position in Dialog Semiconductor during the Reporting Period, taking profits. |
Australian iron ore exploration and production company Mount Gibson Iron was the second biggest contributor to Fund performance at the stock level during the Reporting Period. Mount Gibson Iron performed well on the back of significant price increases for iron ore due to strong Chinese demand. Further, the historically annual price setting mechanism for iron ore was changed to quarterly price settings, leading to earnings upgrades for the company for calendar year 2010. Having an overweighted position in this strongly performing stock during a time when continued strength in commodities prices overall supported the materials sector proved effective.
U.K. enterprise software and services company Micro Focus was another significant contributor to Fund performance. Micro Focus performed well during the Reporting Period as it surprised with a more rapid than expected integration of two earlier acquisitions. This integration, in turn, led to significant top-line and cost-effective synergies for the company. In addition, the company introduced its new CEO during the Reporting Period.
Among the Fund’s Japanese holdings, automobile parts manufacturer Press Kogyo was the top contributor to relative results during the Reporting Period. Press Kogyo benefited from improved demand in the automobile market.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | A position in Greece’s financials exchange company Hellenic Exchange detracted, as the stock was a poor performer during the Reporting Period. Hellenic Exchange was impacted greatly by the debt crisis impacting the nation. |
Two U.K. companies also detracted significantly from the Fund’s results. We initiated a position in nursing home operator Southern Cross’s Healthcare during the Reporting Period, but its shares declined because of lower than expected fee inflation by the U.K. government, which provides 70% of the funding for Southern Cross’ nursing
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
homes. A position in Intec Telecom Systems, a leading provider of complex billing software solutions for telecommunications operators, also hurt, as the company had to issue a warning regarding its profits on the back of lower new contract sales, partly caused by new low-cost competition from India entering the market. We both bought and sold Intec Telecom Systems during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Index were industrials and consumer discretionary, the two largest sectors in the S&P Index and in the Fund, and both are economically-sensitive segments of the equity market. Stock selection was also effective in energy, materials and consumer staples. |
The biggest detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period was the health care sector, where stock selection hurt both absolute and relative performance. Stock selection within information technology also detracted, though only modestly.
| |
Q | Which countries or regions most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the S&P Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the S&P Index. |
That said, strong stock selection in Japan, Germany and Australia contributed most to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Greece, Belgium and Luxembourg. It should be noted that each of these detracting markets had a combined average weighting in the Fund’s portfolio of approximately 2.5% during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In addition to those purchases already mentioned, we established Fund positions in two South Korean companies as we sought to bring the Fund’s exposure to South Korea closer to that of the S&P Index. We initiated and subsequently added to positions in Mode Tour Network, a travel services provider, and Neowiz Games, an online games application services provider. We also initiated a position in Mexican steel producer Ternium. Ternium is largely vertically integrated, which makes it relatively immune to the raw material price increases that most steel producers face. We also liked the fact that Ternium exports most of its output to the U.S. and is therefore geared into a U.S. economic recovery. |
Among the Fund’s most significant sales during the Reporting Period, we eliminated the Fund’s holdings in U.K. engineering software provider Aveva Group, French management consulting and computer services firm Atos Origin and Finnish tire company Nokian Renkaat. Aveva Group was sold, as visibility on a recovery in the marine segment of its business, which makes up approximately 30% of the company’s profits, remains elusive. While we did not necessarily have a negative view on the company, we believe it may lag the market in the near term as other end-markets are recovering sooner. Atos Origin and Nokian Renkaat were sold for valuation reasons. With the sale of Nokian Renkaat, we took the opportunity to switch into a competitor tire maker we believed had a more attractive valuation.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Most sector bets are usually established within a narrow range from the S&P Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to the consumer discretionary, health care and industrial sectors increased, and its allocations to information technology, materials and financials decreased. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Resulting from various stock selection decisions, the Fund’s exposure to the U.K., Italy and Austria increased, and its allocation to China and France decreased.
| |
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
|
A | As of April 30, 2010, the Fund had more exposure to the U.K., Italy, Austria, Germany and China and less exposure to France, Switzerland and Spain relative to the S&P Index. |
From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P Index in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples, information technology and health care sectors at the end of April 2010. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P Index in industrials, financials and utilities and rather neutral positions relative to the S&P Index in energy, telecommunication services and materials.
As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and regional positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect.

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. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
2 | Effective March 1, 2010, the Fund changed its benchmark from the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Small Cap (Gross) Index to the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Small Cap (Net) Index. In the Investment Adviser’s opinion, the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Small Cap (Net) Index is a more appropriate benchmark against which to measure the performance of the Fund, because it reflects dividends paid and deducts taxes. The S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Small Cap (Net) Index is the small capitalization stock component of the S&P Developed Broad Market Index (BMI). The BMI is a float-weighted index that spans 25 countries (inclusive of the US) and includes the listed shares of all companies with an available market capitalization (float) of at least $100 million at the annual rebalance. At rebalance, companies are deleted from the index if their float falls below $75 million. The Small Cap ex-U.S. is defined as those stocks falling in the bottom 15% of the cumulative available capital in each country. The net returns series reflects net of withholding taxes applied to foreign investors, calculated daily based on tax rates that would be applied to a Luxembourg-based investor. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. |

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). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional and Service Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. Effective November 2, 2009, the Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds). The Fund will charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. The performance figures do not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee. If reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance quoted. These 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 above graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. Consequently, the Fund’s overall industry sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any).

Strategic International Equity Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund’s performance and positioning for the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.48%, 4.11%, 4.14% 4.68%, 4.66% and 4.36%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.48% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged) (the “MSCI Index”), during the same period. Effective March 1, 2010, the Fund changed its benchmark from the MSCI EAFE (Gross) Index (unhedged) to the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged). During the Reporting Period, the cumulative total return of the MSCI EAFE (Gross) Index (unhedged) was 2.68%. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund’s outperformance of the MSCI Index index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. From a sector perspective, effective stock selection was rather broad-based. Sector positioning overall also helped, but to a far more modest degree. |
From a country perspective, stock selection was particularly strong in Japan and France. This more than offset weaker stock selection in the Netherlands and in Hong Kong.
While country weightings are the direct result of individual stock selection, country allocation overall also helped during the Reporting Period. A substantially underweighted allocation to Spain was particularly beneficial, given the weakness of its equity market due to contagion fears from Greece. Similarly, an overweighted position in Italy hurt performance, as the country’s equity market returns suffered in conjunction with the Greek crisis.
| |
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The top contributor to performance during the Reporting Period was J Front Retailing, a Japanese department store and supermarket retailer. J Front Retailing’s monthly sales, while still down versus a year ago, were significantly better during the latter part of the Reporting Period than in previous months’ year-over-year comparisons, pointing, many investors believed, to a gradual recovery. We both bought and sold J Front Retailing during the Reporting Period. |
Safran and CGG Veritas were also top performers for the Fund during the Reporting Period. Safran is a French aerospace and defense electronics equipment manufacturer, whose stock performed strongly following news of better than expected 2009 profits and good forecasts for 2010. Some investors also believed the company might benefit from a potential increase in jet engine repairs that might be needed following encounters with volcanic ash from the eruption in Iceland. CGG Veritas is a French oilfield services and equipment company, which has a technology that enables it to scan areas thought to have oil and provide a more accurate picture to energy companies of where to drill. The company’s shares benefited during the Reporting Period from increased sales of its seismic library in the fourth quarter of 2009 as well as from seismic vessel day rates holding up better than consensus expectations. We trimmed the Fund’s position in CGG Veritas by the end of the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The stocks that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were French banking conglomerate Societe Generale, the Netherlands telecommunication services company Koninklijke KPN, and Swiss diversified banking institution UBS. |
Societe Generale had disappointing results during the Reporting Period primarily because it had to write down some U.S. subprime mortgage exposure and because there were concerns it may have to raise capital. Also, the financials sector overall performed poorly during the Reporting Period, and European banks were a particularly weak industry within the sector given the overhang of Greece as well as concerns about raising capital broadly.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
We sold the Fund’s position in Societe Generale by the end of the Reporting Period.
Koninklijke KPN was one of the worst performing holdings in the Fund’s portfolio during the Reporting Period, as its share price fell on uncertainty surrounding the upcoming mobile telephone spectrum auctions in Germany and the Netherlands and in anticipation of the announcement of reductions to the mobile termination rates in the Netherlands. Weakness in telecommunication services broadly, a sector viewed as a particularly defensive one during a time when more economically-sensitive sectors rallied most, also weighed on the stock.
As wealth management is a major portion of UBS’ business, UBS faced a major headwind of potentially losing clients due to changes in Swiss secrecy laws during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI Index were consumer discretionary and industrials, both economically-sensitive segments of the equity market. Both sectors performed well, as economic data out of the U.S. and Europe improved, especially data regarding better consumer and business spending. Stock selection in each of these sectors was effective during the Reporting Period. |
There were no sectors that detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. However, on a relative basis, the information technology, materials and financials sectors contributed least. Detracting from the Fund’s absolute returns were financials, telecommunication services and utilities. These sectors were generally weaker due to their defensive nature in a market that was favoring risk and economically-sensitive sectors. Financials were also impacted during the Reporting Period by ongoing concerns in the global economy. European financials were particularly hard hit given the troubles of Greece, Spain and Portugal.
| |
Q | Which countries or regions most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI Index. |
That said, based on effective individual stock selection, Japan and France, as mentioned, contributed most positively to the Fund’s returns relative to the MSCI Index. All three of the Fund’s top performers during the Reporting Period came from these two markets. The countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were the Netherlands, Italy and Hong Kong. Stock selection, primarily a position in Koninklijke KPN, as mentioned earlier, was the major driver of the Netherlands’ underperformance. An overweighted position in Italy hurt performance, as the country’s returns suffered in conjunction with the Greek crisis. Stock selection in Hong Kong, a small portion of the MSCI Index, was poor, resulting from the Fund’s holding in diversified real estate developer and operator Sun Hung Kai Properties. Sun Hung Kai Properties performed poorly as a new round of tightening measures and restrictive laws from the Chinese government designed to cool its housing market changed the environment for the region’s real estate developers.
| |
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Among the Fund’s most significant purchases during the Reporting Period, the Fund established positions in Italian bank Unicredito, German auto maker Daimler and U.K. metals producer Anglo American. We liked Unicredito’s long-term growth positioning and believe the current management team showed good leadership through the 2008-2009 financial crisis. We initiated a Fund position in Daimler in response to increasingly positive indications of a pick-up in German manufacturing and signs of increasing demand. Anglo American lagged its peers in the 2009 recovery due to exposure to later cycle materials, such as platinum and diamonds. Based on our analysis of the company and the industry broadly, we believe that going |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
| forward the company has potential to deliver the fastest production growth over the next five years and potentially the fastest earnings growth compared to its peers. |
In addition to those sales already mentioned, we sold out of the Fund’s position in Swiss medical device company Synthes over concerns regarding product pricing and delays. We exited the Fund’s position in U.K. tobacco company Imperial Tobacco Group, as the stock had performed well and neared the price target we had established for the stock. We also eliminated the Fund’s position in Syngenta, the Swiss-based agrichemicals company focused on crop protection and seeds production, taking profits, as the stock had been a strong performer benefiting from the rise in soft commodity prices. Syngenta’s stock had neared our price target when we sold it.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Most sector bets are usually established within a narrow range from the MSCI Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to the health care sector increased most significantly. To a more modest degree, the Fund’s positions in consumer discretionary and industrials also increased. The Fund’s allocations to information technology, materials, consumer staples and utilities decreased during the Reporting Period. |
Resulting from various stock selection decisions, the Fund’s exposure to the U.K., Switzerland, Italy, Finland, Spain and the Netherlands decreased. There were no notable increases in country weightings during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
|
A | As of April 30, 2010, the Fund had more exposure to the U.K., Switzerland and Italy and less exposure to France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Spain relative to the MSCI Index. |
From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the MSCI Index in the health care, energy and financials sectors at the end of April 2010. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI Index in utilities, consumer staples, materials and industrials and rather neutral positions relative to the MSCI Index in consumer discretionary, telecommunication services and information technology.
As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and regional positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect.

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. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
2 | The MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged with dividends reinvested) is a market capitalization-weighted composite of securities in 21 developed markets. The Index is unmanaged and the figures for the Index do not include any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Effective March 1, 2010, the Fund changed it’s benchmark from the MSCI EAFE (Gross) Index (unhedged) to the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged). In the Investment Adviser’s opinion, the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index (unhedged) is a more appropriate benchmark against which to measure the performance of the Fund, because it reflects dividends paid and deducts taxes. |

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 and 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). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Class IR and R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. Effective November 2, 2009, the Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds). The Fund will charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. The performance figures do not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee. If reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance quoted. These 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. |

FUND BASICS
FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6
As of April 30, 2010
| |
6 | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. The above graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. Underlying industry sector allocations of exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. Consequently, the Fund’s overall industry sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. |
| The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investment in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 4.2% of the Fund’s net assets at April 30, 2010. |

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered | | | Diversified/Non-Diversified | |
| |
Concentrated International Equity and International Small Cap | | | A, B, C, Institutional and Service | | | | Diversified | |
|
|
Strategic International Equity | | | A, B, C, Institutional, IR and R | | | | Diversified | |
|
|
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B Shares 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. Effective November 2, 2009, Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares and may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds). Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
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 foreign securities exchange are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the trustees consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the United States (“U.S.”) securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchanges. While the independent fair value service may not take into account market or security specific information, under the valuation procedures, these securities might also be fair valued by GSAMI by taking into consideration market or security specific information as discussed below.
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
| |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service cannot provide a quote are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from bond dealers to determine current value. If accurate quotations are not readily available, or if GSAMI 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. 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. In the absence of market quotations, broker quotes will be utilized or the security will be fair valued. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share (“NAV”) on the valuation date. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit deterioration are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
GSAMI, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may 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 the Funds’ NAV. 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 U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions or market closings; equipment failures; natural or man-made disasters or acts of God; armed conflicts; government 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 buy-outs; corporate announcements, including those relating to earnings, products and regulatory news; significant litigation; low trading volume; and trading limits or suspensions.
B. Security and Fund Share Transactions, and Investment Income — Security and Fund share transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date, which may cause the NAV as stated in the accompanying financial statements to be different than the NAV applied to Fund share transactions. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized 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 foreign capital gains taxes, if applicable, on certain foreign securities held by the Funds. An estimated foreign capital gains tax is recorded daily on net unrealized gains on these securities and is payable upon the sale of such securities when a gain is realized.

| |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
Net investment income (other than class specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense and are accrued daily.
D. Redemption Fees — All classes of the 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 a Fund and are reflected as a reduction in share redemptions. Redemption fees are credited to Paid-in capital and are allocated to each share class of a Fund on a pro-rata basis at the time of payment.
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provisions are required. 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 Distributions
| | | Capital Gains Distributions
| |
| | Declared/Paid | | | Declared/Paid | |
| |
All Funds | | | Annually | | | | Annually | |
|
|
Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal 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 gains 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. 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 capital. The Funds’ capital accounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character, but do not reflect temporary differences.
GSAMI has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
F. Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Funds are accounted for 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 into U.S. dollars based upon 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time 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 as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
| |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents: (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 security transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and (iii) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on equity securities and derivative instruments is included with the net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on fixed income securities sold during the period is included with the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions, while the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on fixed income securities held at period end is included with the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases and decreases in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions.
G. Futures Contracts — The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates, or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds deposit cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when a contract is closed or expires.
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. Futures contracts may be illiquid, and exchanges may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices during a single day. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures, to cover their obligations under these contracts.
3. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAMI manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAMI is entitled to a management fee computed daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

B. Distribution and Service Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers, at the following annual rates calculated on a Fund’s average daily net assets of each respective share class:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement and may retain a portion of the Class A front end sales charge and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. During the six months ended April 30, 2010, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following approximate amounts:

3. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) | |
D. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
E. Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance 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 annual basis, 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
F. Other Agreements — GSAMI has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agent fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), 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 such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expenses reimbursement, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAMI for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expenses limitations for the Concentrated International Equity, International Small Cap and Strategic International Equity Funds as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.104%, 0.064% and 0.164%, respectively. Additionally, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and transfer agent resulting in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses.
For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Other Expenses Reimbursement, was as follows (in thousands):

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 2010, the Funds participated in a $660,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAMI or its affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the facility, the Funds and other borrowers could increase the credit amount by an additional $340,000,000, for a total of up to $1 billion. This facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The 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 April 30, 2010, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Effective May 11, 2010, the facility decreased to $580,000,000.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2010, Goldman Sachs earned approximately $9,900, $1,500 and $2,500, in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Concentrated International Equity, International Small Cap and Strategic International Equity Funds, respectively.
As of April 30, 2010, the Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio was the beneficial owner of approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of the International Small Cap Fund.
As of April 30, 2010, the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GSG”) was the beneficial owner of approximately 100% and 19% of the Class IR and Class R shares, respectively, of the Strategic International Equity Fund.
4. FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to 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 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. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES
The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, futures, swaps and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments or commodities at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivatives also

5. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) | |
involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument.
The following table sets forth the gross value of the Funds’ derivative contracts for trading activities by certain risk types as of April 30, 2010. The values in the table below exclude the effects of cash collateral received or posted pursuant to derivative contracts, and therefore are not representative of the Funds’ net exposure.

7. 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”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of 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 may experience a delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust (“Enhanced Portfolio”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio, deemed an affiliate of the Trust, is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), for which GSAM may receive an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests primarily in short-term investments, but is not a “money market fund” subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 of the Act. The Funds’ investment of cash collateral in the Enhanced Portfolio is subject to a net asset value that may fall or rise due to market and credit conditions. Effective May 26, 2010, the Funds are currently not participating in the securities lending program.

9. OTHER RISKS
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and foreign currency with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories (each a “Foreign Custodian”) appointed by the Fund’s custodian. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are often undeveloped and may be less regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight or independent evaluation of their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters into bankruptcy.
Funds’ Shareholder Concentration Risk — Certain funds, accounts, individuals or Goldman Sachs affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Funds’ shares. Redemptions by these funds, accounts or individuals of their holdings in the Funds may impact the Funds’ liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force the Funds to sell securities.
Issuer Concentration Risk — The Concentrated International Equity Fund intends to invest in a relatively small number of issuers. As a result, it may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers. A change in the value of any single investment held by the Fund may affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect a mutual fund that holds more investments. In particular, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer in the Fund and may be susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transaction defaults.

9. OTHER RISKS (continued) | |
Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. 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, be subject to government ownership controls, have delayed settlements and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.
10. 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 made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAMI believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
11. OTHER MATTERS
Legal Proceedings — On April 16, 2010, the SEC brought an action under the U.S. federal securities laws in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Goldman Sachs and one of its employees alleging that they made materially misleading statements and omissions in connection with a 2007 private placement of securities relating to a synthetic collateralized debt obligation sold to two institutional investors. Goldman Sachs and/or other affiliates of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. have received or may in the future receive notices and requests for information from various regulators, and have become or may in the future become involved in legal proceedings, based on allegations similar to those made by the SEC or other matters.
Neither Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. or Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (collectively “GSAM”) nor any GSAM-managed funds have been named in the complaint. Moreover, the SEC complaint does not seek any penalties against them or against any employee who is or has been part of GSAM.
In the view of Goldman Sachs and GSAM, neither the matters alleged in this or any such similar proceedings nor their eventual resolution are likely to have a material affect on the ability of Goldman Sachs, GSAM or their affiliates to provide services to GSAM-managed funds. Due to a provision in the law governing the operation of mutual funds, the resolution of the SEC action could, under certain circumstances, result in a situation in which Goldman Sachs, GSAM and their affiliates would be ineligible to serve as an investment adviser or principal underwriter for U.S.-registered mutual funds absent an exemption from the SEC. While there is no assurance that such an exemption would be granted, the SEC has granted this type of relief in the past.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR or Class R Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges 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 Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR or Class R Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2010. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |
