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.

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-capitalization and small-capitalization 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.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Advantaged
Equity Funds
Market Review
U.S. and international equity markets broke a four-quarter winning streak with a sharp drop in the second quarter of 2010 that erased gains from the first quarter of the year and sent most major indices into negative territory for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
During the first quarter, U.S. and international equity markets advanced, overcoming a weak start in January with modest gains in February and strong performance in March. While this marked the fourth consecutive quarter of gains for U.S. and international equities, underlying economic data and sentiment were less encouraging. In the United States, stronger personal spending and retail sales figures released during the quarter jump-started consumer-related stocks. Continued positive numbers from several key manufacturing surveys lifted industrial stocks. Indeed, increasing cash flow, high productivity and significant cost cutting fueled expectations of forthcoming business spending and corporate profits across a wide spectrum of equity market sectors. Still, concerns over Greece’s debt troubles hung over first quarter financial markets.
Investor sentiment turned sharply in late April as concerns over Europe’s sovereign debt issues intensified and weighed heavily on equity markets worldwide. Additionally, investors increasingly focused on the potential impact of a growing government appetite for regulation and mounting evidence that the global economic recovery might be losing steam. Particularly hard hit were financial stocks. In the United States, significant financial reform legislation neared final stages, leading investors to contemplate the possible effect on earnings multiples of a number of large banks that might be forced to spin off or limit ownership in highly profitable businesses.
To add pressure to an already volatile backdrop, U.S. equity markets had a number of disappointing economic readings at the end of June. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) suggested that “financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth,” while first quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was revised down slightly from 3.0% to 2.7%. Consumer confidence fell sharply in June, and private sector payroll growth was weaker than expected. Fears that Chinese, and therefore global, demand might be slowing hit commodity prices and their stocks, while high crude oil inventory levels and BP’s disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico further pressured energy stocks.
U.S. Equity Markets
The Russell 3000 Index, which is a measure of the broad equity market, was down 6.05% for the Reporting Period, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”), which represents the U.S. large-cap equity market, lost 6.65% during the same period. All ten sectors in the S&P 500 Index were down for the Reporting Period, with the materials (−12.93%) and energy (−12.22%) sectors losing the most ground. The top-weighted information technology (−10.62%) sector was the largest detractor (measured by weight times total return) from S&P 500 Index returns.
MARKET REVIEW
The Russell 1000 Value Index declined 5.12% during the Reporting Period, beating the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which fell 7.65%. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe, while the Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe.* Growth stocks underperformed value stocks largely because the growth index was more heavily weighted in the information technology sector, which turned in weak results during the Reporting Period. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks during the Reporting Period with the Russell 2000 Index, a measure of small-cap stocks, declining just 1.95%. Small-cap technology stocks performed better than their large-cap counterparts.
International Equity Markets
The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) lost 13.23% (USD) during the Reporting Period. Twenty of the 22 countries in the MSCI EAFE Index were down, with Greece (−48.78%) and Spain (−32.82%) posting the largest absolute losses. In terms of its weighting in the MSCI EAFE Index, the United Kingdom (−14.51%) was the largest detractor.
All ten sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index posted negative results for the Reporting Period, with the energy (−25.39%) and financials (−17.70%) sectors losing the most ground. The heavily-weighted financials sector was also the largest detractor.
Looking Ahead
In the coming months, we believe investors will continue to use fundamentally-based criteria to build their portfolios. That is, they will choose to overweight stocks with less expensive valuations, higher-quality earnings and higher profitability. We also expect stocks with good momentum to outperform those with poor momentum. We intend to continue to focus on seeking profitable companies with strong fundamentals, sustainable earnings and a track record of using capital to enhance shareholder value. We anticipate remaining fully invested, with long-term performance likely to be the result of stock selection rather than sector or capitalization allocations.
We stand behind our investment philosophy that sound economic investment principles, coupled with a disciplined quantitative approach, can provide potentially strong, uncorrelated returns over the long term. Our research agenda is robust, and we continue to enhance our existing models, add new proprietary forecasting signals, and improve our trading execution as we seek to provide the most value to our shareholders.
The economic and market forecasts presented herein have been generated by GSAM for informational purposes as of the date of this presentation. They are based on proprietary models and there can be no assurance that the forecasts will be achieved. Please see additional disclosures at the end of this presentation.

INVESTMENT PROCESS
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and
Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and
Premium Funds’ Investment Process?
The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund seeks to maximize income and total return. The Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund seeks to maximize total return with an emphasis on income. 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.
Written call options: n The Funds utilize index call writing to seek to enhance their 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 or MSCI EAFE Index, as applicable.

n A fully invested, style-consistent portfolio. n Seek attractive after-tax cash flow from qualified dividends, long-term capital gains and option call writing. n The Funds seek 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

1A 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.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s performance and positioning for the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −4.46%, −4.70% and −4.27%, respectively. These returns compare to the −6.65% and 5.33% cumulative total returns of the Fund’s benchmarks, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “S&P 500 Index”) and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, respectively, during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The sale of call options on the S&P 500 Index contributed to the Fund’s total return. (A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date.) |
However, as mentioned in the Market Review, the equity market experienced a steep decline during the Reporting Period. All ten sectors in the S&P 500 Index were down. In this environment, stock selection within the health care sector dampened performance. On a relative basis, our stock selection contributed positively within the financials, consumer discretionary, energy, industrials, utilities, consumer staples, materials, information technology and telecommunications services sectors.
| |
Q | How did the Fund’s call writing affect its performance? |
|
A | Consistent with our investment approach, we wrote index call options on a portion of the stock portfolio’s market value. Upon exercise by the holder, the sale of an index call option obligates us to buy an index at a specified price, also known as the “strike price.” Although the Fund retains the proceeds from the sale of an option, the payment received may not exceed the increase in the value of the index as call options are exercised and we pay the purchaser the increase in value. This was not the case during the Reporting Period when the S&P 500 Index declined, and thus the Fund’s call option writing contributed positively to performance. |
In general, we targeted 4% in annual premiums. We wrote call options covering about 30% of the value of the stock portfolio to achieve this target.
Overall, call option writing tends to reduce volatility. Since its inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been about 95% of the realized volatility of the S&P 500 Index.
| |
Q | What was the Fund’s dividend yield during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | While maintaining industry and sector weights consistent with the S&P 500 Index, we favor stocks with higher dividend yields. The dividend yield of the Fund during the Reporting Period was 2.5% compared to 1.4% for the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s dividend yield served to enhance its quarterly net income distributions. |
|
Q | Among individual holdings, which stocks contributed most to the Fund’s results? |
|
A | An underweighted position relative to the S&P 500 Index in bank holding company Wells Fargo was advantageous. The Fund also benefited from overweights compared to the S&P 500 Index in tobacco manufacturer Reynolds American and food maker Kraft Foods. |
|
Q | Which individual stock holdings detracted most from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund was hampered by overweighted positions compared to the S&P 500 Index in oil and gas drilling contractor Diamond Offshore Drilling and computer hard-drive maker Seagate Technology. An underweighted position in business conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway also detracted from relative results. |
|
Q | How did fixed income investments affect performance? |
|
A | The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are limited to cash equivalents, and therefore fixed income holdings did not have a meaningful impact on performance. |
|
Q | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | No changes were made to our quantitative model during the Reporting Period. |

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 S&P 500 Index is the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index of 500 stocks, an unmanaged index of common stock prices. 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. |
3 | The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents an unmanaged diversified portfolio of fixed income securities, including U.S. Treasuries, investment-grade corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

Institutional | | | 15.59 | | | | -0.40 | | | 8/31/05 | | |
|
| |
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.

Applicable waivers and expense limitations may be modified or terminated in the future, consistent with the terms of any arrangements in place. If this occurs, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval. |

Returns after Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares*** | | | 5.97 | | | | -1.59 | | | |
|
| |
6 | 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. |
| |
** | Returns After Taxes on Distributions assume that taxes are paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period. |
| |
*** | Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares reflect taxes paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s performance and positioning for the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −13.13%, −13.54% and −13.01%, respectively. These returns compare to the −13.23% and −0.32% cumulative total returns of the Fund’s benchmarks, the MSCI EAFE Index (unhedged, with dividends reinvested) and the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index, respectively, during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The sale of call options contributed to the Fund’s total return. (A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date.) |
However, as mentioned in the Market Review, the equity market experienced a steep decline during the Reporting Period. All ten sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index were down. Against this backdrop, our stock picks in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors detracted. In relative terms, our security selection within the financials and telecommunications services sectors added value.
| |
Q | How did the Fund’s call writing affect its performance? |
|
A | Consistent with our investment approach, we wrote index call options on a portion of the stock portfolio’s market value, primarily on the Japanese, United Kingdom and European indices. Upon exercise by the holder, the sale of index call options obligates us to buy an index at a specified price, also known as the “strike price.” Although the Fund retains the proceeds from the sale of an option, the payment received may not exceed the increase in the value of the index, as call options are exercised and we pay the purchaser the increase in value. This was not the case during the Reporting Period when global stock indices declined, and thus the Fund’s call writing contributed positively to performance. |
In general, we targeted 4% in annual premiums. We wrote call options covering about 30% of the value of the stock portfolio to achieve this target.
| |
Q | What was the Fund’s dividend yield during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | While maintaining industry and sector weights consistent with the MSCI EAFE Index, we favor stocks with higher dividend yields. The dividend yield of the Fund during the Reporting Period was 4.5% compared to 3.8% for the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund’s dividend yield served to enhance its quarterly net income distributions. |
|
Q | Among individual holdings, which stocks contributed most to the Fund’s results? |
|
A | The Fund benefited from an underweighted position relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in Spanish telecommunications group Telefonica. Also adding to relative performance were overweighted positions in Japanese printing company Tosho Printing and Japanese mobile operator NTT DoCoMo. |
|
Q | Which individual stock holdings detracted most from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting from relative performance were overweighted positions in British oil company BP, Spanish bank Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, and Greek lottery and betting firm OPAP. |
|
Q | How did fixed income investments affect performance? |
|
A | The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are limited to cash equivalents, and therefore fixed income holdings did not have a meaningful impact on performance. |
|
Q | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We continued to extend our risk model enhancements to smaller regions. We also continued to improve our model generation infrastructure, particularly for smaller regions and with regard to global transaction costs. We believe these enhancements should add further value to our process over time. |

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 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. |
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.

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.

INVESTMENT PROCESS
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs Global
Structured Tax-Management Investment Process?
In managing money for many of the world’s wealthiest taxable investors, Goldman Sachs often constructs a diversified investment portfolio around a tax-managed core. With the Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, investors can access Goldman Sachs’ tax-smart investment expertise while capitalizing on this same strategic approach to portfolio construction.
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | Goldman Sachs Global Structured Tax-Management Investment Process The Goldman Sachs Global Structured Tax-Management investment process is a disciplined quantitative approach that has been consistently applied since 1989. With the Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, the Global Structured Investment Process is enhanced with an additional layer that seeks to maximize after-tax returns.

n Comprehensive n Extensive n Rigorous n Fundamental n Objective n Insightful |
| | |
| | Advantage: Daily analysis of approximately 3,000 U.S. and International equity securities
using a proprietary model.

n Benchmark driven n Sector and size neutral n Tax optimized |
| | Tax optimization is an additional layer that is built into the existing Global 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 Global Structured Investment Process seeks to maximize after-tax returns — the true objective of every taxable investor. |
| | |
| | Advantage: Value added through stock selection — not market timing, industry rotation or style bias.

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

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s performance and positioning for the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed 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 −7.29%, −7.64%, −7.67%, −6.96% and −7.34%, respectively. These returns compare to the −6.05% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), over the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | As expected, and in keeping with our investment approach, our quantitative model and its six investment themes had the greatest impact on relative performance. We use these themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund��s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by the Fund’s different investment themes is believed to be a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. |
Overall, the Fund underperformed relative to the Index during the Reporting Period with three of its six investment themes detracting from relative returns. Momentum was the weakest-performing theme, followed by Valuation. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information, while Valuation attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. The Profitability theme, which assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital, also detracted, though to a lesser extent.
The Sentiment and Management themes contributed to the Fund’s relative returns. Sentiment reflects how Wall Street analysts’ views about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time, while Management assesses a company’s management strategy and behavior.
The Quality theme did not have a meaningful impact on relative performance during the Reporting Period. Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accruals.
| |
Q | How successful was your stock selection during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund seeks to provide investors with a tax-efficient means for maintaining broadly diversified exposure to the entire U.S. equity market, ranging from large- to small-cap stocks. During the Reporting Period, stock selection detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. |
|
Q | Among individual holdings, which stocks contributed most to the Fund’s results? |
|
A | Security selection in the financials, energy and utilities sectors enhanced relative performance. Overweighted positions relative to the Index in oil company Sunoco, food manufacturer Tyson Foods and real estate investment trust Simon Property Group were the largest positive contributors. |
|
Q | Which individual stock holdings detracted most during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Holdings in the information technology, health care and materials sectors hampered relative results. An underweighted position compared to the Index in technology and software maker Apple dampened performance. Also detracting from relative results were overweighted positions in computer hard drive maker Western Digital and independent oil and gas company Devon Energy. |
|
Q | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the second half of the Reporting Period, we improved our factor timing within the Momentum theme. |

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 will no longer be 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). |
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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s performance and positioning for the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −14.05%, −14.34% and −13.80%, respectively. These returns compare to the −13.23% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (unhedged, with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |

A | As expected, and in keeping with our investment approach, our quantitative model and its six investment themes had the greatest impact on relative performance. We use these themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model.

The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by the Fund’s different investment themes is believed to be a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. |
Overall, the Fund underperformed relative to the Index during the Reporting Period, with the Momentum and Quality themes detracting the most. Momentum predicts drift in stock prices caused by under-reaction to company-specific information. Quality evaluates whether the company’s earnings are coming from more persistent, cash-based sources, as opposed to accruals.
Valuation, Sentiment, Management and Profitability added to the Fund’s relative results. 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. Sentiment reflects how Wall Street analysts’ views about a company’s earnings and prospects are changing over time, while Management assesses a company’s management strategy and behavior. Profitability assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital,
| |
Q | How successful was your stock selection during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund seeks to provide investors with a tax-efficient means for maintaining broadly diversified exposure to the entire EAFE equity market. During the Reporting Period, stock selection had a mixed impact on the Fund’s relative performance. |
|
Q | Among individual holdings, which stocks contributed most to the Fund’s results? |
|
A | Our stock picks in the financials, industrials and telecommunication services sectors added to the Fund’s relative performance. Enhancing results were positions in railroad operator and freight mover Central Japan Railway and U.K.-based pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. An underweighted position relative to the Index in Spanish telecommunications group Telefonica was also advantageous. |
|
Q | Which individual stock holdings detracted most during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Stock selection in the energy, information technology and materials sectors hampered relative returns. Overweighted positions in British oil company BP and two Spanish banks, Banco Santander and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, particularly detracted. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
Q | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the second half of the Reporting Period, we implemented a timing mode to the Valuation theme within our Japan equity model. This model uses several inputs, including indications of market sentiment, perceptions of market risk and technical trends. By adding a timing strategy, we believe our model can generate incremental alpha, or value, especially when combined with the value factor. We also improved factor timing within the Momentum theme. In addition, we continued to extend our risk model enhancements to smaller regions. Finally, we continued to improve our model generation infrastructure, particularly for smaller regions and with regard to global transaction costs. We believe these enhancements should add further value to our process over time. |

| |
5 | 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. |
| |
** | Returns After Taxes on Distributions assume that taxes are paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period. |
| |
*** | Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares reflect taxes paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS7
As of June 30, 2010
| |
7 | 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. Consequently, the Fund’s overall industry sector allocations may differ from 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 1.2% of the Fund’s net assets at June 30, 2010. Short-term investments represent investments in investment companies other than those that are exchange traded. |

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
June 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 |
|
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity | | A, C and Institutional | | Diversified |
|
|
Structured Tax-Managed Equity | | A, B, C, Institutional and Service | | 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 Class B shareholders 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 Shares and Service Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), 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 GSAM by taking into consideration market or security specific information as discussed below.
GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED TAX-ADVANTAGED 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 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. 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.
GSAM, 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.
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 Funds based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
In addition, distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
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 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 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 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
| |
Fund | | Declared/Paid | | | Declared/Paid | |
| |
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, and International Equity Dividend and Premium | | | Quarterly | | | | Annually | |
|
|
Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity | | | 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.
GSAM 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.

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.
H. Options — The Funds may write covered call and put options and purchase call and put options on futures, 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. Options on a futures contract may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. 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 that 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. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to cover their obligations under written option contracts.
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.
The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds invest in written call options. Writing (selling) call options limits the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. When the Funds write (sell) S&P 500 Index, MSCI EAFE 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 applicable index 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 them against declines in the value of the market. Cash received from premiums will enhance return in declining or relatively flat 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.

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 Shares and 0.04% of average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
E. 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. 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 — GSAM has 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 GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expenses limitations for the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.054%, 0.054%, 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively. Additionally, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent resulting in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expenses reimbursement, were as follows (in thousands):

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of June 30, 2010, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM 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 $920,000,000. 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 June 30, 2010, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to May 11, 2010, the amount available through the facility was $660,000,000.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Goldman Sachs earned approximately $3,700, $11,500, $2,800 and $3,400 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, 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.

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 significant inputs are observable (including but not limited to quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments categorized in the fair value hierarchy, as of June 30, 2010:

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 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 June 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 II of Boston Global Investment Trust (“Enhanced Portfolio II”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio II, deemed an affiliate of the Trust, is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by 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 II. The Enhanced Portfolio II 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 II is subject to a net asset value that may fall or rise due to market and credit conditions.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued) | |
As of June 30, 2010, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes was as follows:

| | | | | International
| | | | | | Structured
| |

Tax cost | | $ | 348,180,695 | | | $ | 163,130,917 | | | $ | 269,508,363 | | | $ | 98,427,870 | |
|
|
Gross unrealized gain | | | 1,556,780 | | | | 2,327,543 | | | | 1,850,880 | | | | 19,490,023 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (49,928,167 | ) | | | (19,497,113 | ) | | | (35,117,117 | ) | | | (2,636,536 | ) |
|
|
Net unrealized security gain (loss) | | $ | (48,371,387 | ) | | $ | (17,169,570 | ) | | $ | (33,266,237 | ) | | $ | 16,853,487 | |
|
|
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses), as of the most recent fiscal year end, is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures and options contracts, and differences related to the tax treatment of Passive Foreign Investment Company and partnership investments.
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 Goldman Sachs Fund of Funds Portfolios may invest a significant percentage of their assets in the Funds. In the event the Fund of Funds Portfolios experience significant redemptions and/or reallocations, the Funds may be exposed to liquidity risk. In particular, the Funds may encounter difficulty meeting redemptions if unusual market conditions create an unfavorable environment in which the Funds are forced to liquidate their securities.
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.
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, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

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 Board of 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 the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2011 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 16-17, 2010 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held three meetings over the course of the year, since last approving the Management Agreement. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board meetings and/or the Annual Meeting, the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable, 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, including information about:
(i) the structure, staff and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams;
(ii) the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services and operations), controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, market risk analysis and finance and strategy), sales and distribution support groups and others (e.g., information technology and training);
(iii) trends in headcount;
(iv) the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and
(v) the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management;
(b) information on the investment performance of the Funds, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and benchmark performance indices, and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Funds invest;
(c) the terms of the Management Agreement and agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Funds;

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
(d) expense information for the Funds, including:
(i) the relative management fee and expense levels of the Funds as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;
(ii) each Fund’s expense trends over time; and
(iii) to the extent the Investment Adviser manages institutional accounts or collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser;
(e) with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Funds;
(f) the undertakings of the Investment Adviser to waive certain fees (with respect to the Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds) and reimburse certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels, and a summary of contractual fee reductions made by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates over the past several years with respect to the Funds;
(g) information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of each of the Funds and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;
(h) potential economies of scale, if any, and the levels of breakpoints in the fees payable by the Funds under the Management Agreement;
(i) a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Funds for transfer agency, securities lending, portfolio brokerage, distribution and other services;
(j) a summary of potential benefits derived by the Funds as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser;
(k) commission rates paid by the Funds and other portfolio trading related issues;
(l) portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined, the alignment of the interests of the Funds and of the portfolio managers and related potential conflicts of interest; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;
(m) the nature and quality of the services provided to the Funds by their unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administration services provided under the Management Agreement; and
(n) the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Funds’ compliance program; and compliance reports.
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity and the payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees by the Funds and the payment of non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service and/or administration fees by the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s Service Shares. 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual fund portfolios for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual 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. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. 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 Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
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. They noted that management had made certain personnel changes in an effort to improve the performance of the Funds. The Independent Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser had committed substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also observed that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds and the Investment Adviser. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to the performance of other similar SEC-registered funds and to rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider. This information on each Fund’s investment performance relative to that of its peers was provided for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance over time on a year-by-year basis relative to its performance benchmark. 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 and market conditions. The Trustees considered whether each Fund had operated within its investment policies and had complied with its investment limitations.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s Chief Investment Officer and portfolio management personnel, in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
The Trustees noted that the Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund ranked in the bottom half of its peer group over the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, but also considered the Fund’s recent improvement over the recent one-year and three-month time periods. They also observed that the Structured International Tax-Managed Equity, U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds ranked in the bottom half of their respective peer groups over the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, but noted the more recent improvement of each of these Funds over the most recent three-month time period. The Trustees also noted that, in response to the recent market turmoil, the Investment Adviser implemented measures intended to improve Fund performance, including adjusting the Quantitative Investment Strategies (“QIS”) team’s investment process used to manage the Funds (which among other things included changes in trading strategies and enhancements to the models) and making certain changes to the QIS team’s personnel. The Trustees also recognized that these changes would need time to achieve their desired effects, and resolved to continue to monitor the Funds’ performance. The Trustees noted that they had expressed concern about the persistent under performance relative to their respective peer groups and benchmarks of the International Equity Dividend and Premium, Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds to senior management of the Investment Adviser and determined that the changes implemented by the Investment Adviser, and the Funds’ recent performance, including over the most recent three-month period, provided a basis for concluding that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual fee rates 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.
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 those of 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 Funds that commenced investment operations within a shorter period, since the year in which it commenced operations), comparing each Fund’s expenses to the peer and category averages. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency fees, custody and accounting fees, distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of other funds in the peer group and the peer group median. The Trustees concluded 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 Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit the Funds’ “other expenses” ratios (excluding certain expenses) to certain specified levels and to waive a portion of the Structured Tax-Managed Equity and Structured International Tax-Managed Equity Funds’ management fees. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages institutional accounts or collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to institutional accounts, which generally operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, were less time-intensive and paid lower fees. By contrast, the Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser provides substantial administrative services to the Funds under the terms of the Management Agreement.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time 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 Trustees reviewed the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins with respect to the Trust and each of the Funds. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, 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 the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also reviewed the report of the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization, which included an assessment of the reasonableness and consistency of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and an evaluation of the accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2009 and 2008, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins both in absolute terms and in comparison to information on the reported pre-tax profit margins earned by certain other asset management firms.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding the Investment Adviser’s profitability and the rationale for the Funds’ breakpoint structure. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | International
| | | | | | | |

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 Trustees noted that the breakpoints at the $5 and $8 billion asset levels had been proposed by the Investment Adviser and approved by the Trustees in 2008 to further share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit fees and other expenses to certain amounts. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring 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 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 & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (d) fees earned throughout the year 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 portfolio in which the Funds�� cash collateral is invested); (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (h) 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; and (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage relationships with the Funds’ third party service providers to attract more firmwide business. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of the fall-out benefits. In looking at the benefits to Goldman Sachs Agency Lending and the Investment Adviser from the securities lending program, they noted that the Funds also benefited from their participation in the securities lending program.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain potential 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 and pricing 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 favorable terms with derivatives counterparties as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the advantages gained from the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (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; (g) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary databases); and (h) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. The Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and noted further that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the 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 Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the 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. The Trustees concluded that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2011.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
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 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 or Service 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 January 1, 2010 through June 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 June 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.
