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 Absolute Return Tracker Fund seeks to achieve investment results that approximate the performance of the Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Index (the “GS-ART Index”). The GS-ART Index is a benchmark index that seeks to replicate the investment returns of hedge fund betas (i.e., that portion of the returns of hedge funds, as a broad asset class, that results from market exposure rather than manager skill). The Fund intends to invest in financial instruments that may provide short or long exposure to the various indices that comprise the GS-ART Index. The Fund’s performance may not match, and may vary substantially from, that of the GS-ART Index. The Fund may make investments in swaps, futures and forward contracts, structured notes and other derivative instruments. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument; the risk of default by a counterparty; and the risk that transactions may not be liquid. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with short selling of securities. Short selling involves leverage of the Fund’s assets and presents various other risks. Because the Fund must first borrow a security to establish a short position, there is the risk that a security will not be available at a particular time or an acceptable price and therefore the Fund may not be able to implement its investment strategy. In addition, the Fund may be obligated to cover its short position at a higher price than the short price, resulting in a loss. Losses on short sales are potentially unlimited as a loss occurs when the value of a security sold short increases. Note that short selling involves sophisticated investment techniques that have the potential to add additional risk to a portfolio. The Fund is not appropriate for all investors.
The Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of commodity index-linked securities (including leveraged and unleveraged structured notes), other commodity-linked securities and derivative instruments that provide exposure to the performance of the commodities markets, and in fixed income and debt instruments. The Fund may also gain exposure to the performance of the commodity markets through investments in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized as a company under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). The Fund is subject to the risk that exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument; the risk of default by a counterparty; and the risk that the transactions may not be liquid. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, which may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. The Fund may also invest in non-investment grade fixed income securities, which are considered speculative. Non-investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Allocation Fund invests primarily in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), futures, swaps and other derivatives that provide exposure to a broad spectrum of asset classes, including but not limited to equities (both in U.S. and non-U.S. companies), fixed income (U.S. and non-U.S., investment grade and high yield) and commodities. Derivative investments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument; risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of its investments may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The Fund’s fixed income investments are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. High yield, lower rated securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund is subject to the risk that exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging markets securities, which may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
The Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of equity investments in issuers that are primarily engaged in or related to the real estate industry outside the United States, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Investing in REITs involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. REITs whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or geographic region are also subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. The securities of REITs involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements because of interest rate changes, economic conditions and other factors. The Fund’s investments, especially in real estate industry companies that hold mortgages, may be subject to interest rate risks. Foreign and emerging markets securities may be more volatile than U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. Because the Fund concentrates its investments in specific industry sectors, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting these sectors than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. The Fund may be especially subject to the risk that the liquidity of particular portfolio securities will shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic, market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions, whether or not accurate. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all. Because the Fund invests primarily in issuers related to the real estate industry, its net asset value may fluctuate substantially over time and its performance may be substantially different from the returns of the broader stock market. The 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 Fund may participate in the initial public offering (“IPO”) market. The market value of IPO shares may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund’s performance and positioning for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −3.09%, −3.46%, −2.96%, −2.97% and −3.21%, respectively. These returns compare to the −2.51% and 0.63% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmarks, the Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Index (the “GS-ART Index”) and the Dow Jones Credit Suisse AllHedge Index (formerly the Credit Suisse/Tremont AllHedge Index), respectively, during the same time period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund seeks to attain its objective by investing in financial instruments that may provide short or long exposure to the various indices that comprise the GS-ART Index, each such index being a “Component Market Factor.” During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Component Market Factors were investable indices reflecting the following categories — Equities, Fixed Income and Commodities. |
As a passive index strategy fund, active management decisions regarding asset class allocation or security selection do not apply nor are investment decisions regarding Component Market Factors made based on any economic or financial market outlooks. Positioning in the Equities, Fixed Income and Commodities categories detracted from the Fund’s absolute returns during the Reporting Period. Still, the Fund’s results from both a risk and return perspective were within expectations, especially in light of both the bear and bull markets experienced during the first half of 2010.
| |
Q | How was the Fund positioned within the Equities category during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Equities started 2010 with reasonable optimism, but after economic cracks appeared in Europe in late April, U.S. stocks gave up all their 2010 gains — and then some. The U.S. large-cap equity market, as measured by the S&P® 500 Index, closed the Reporting Period down 6.65%. During the same six months, international developed equities, whose peripheral European sovereign economies were a major source of concern, lost 13.23%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index. Emerging market equities fared a bit better, giving up 6.04%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. U.S. small-cap equities did better still, declining 1.95%, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. The Fund’s net long exposure to equities detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Indeed, the Equities category had the strongest effect — albeit a negative one — on the Fund’s total return of all the Component Market Factors during the Reporting Period. The Fund had this net long exposure to equities since its inception in May 2008 and increased its exposure at the end of October 2009 when the annual changes made to the GS-ART Index resulted in the addition of a discrete allocation to the S&P® 500 Index in both the GS-ART Index and the Fund. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
Q | How did developments within the Fixed Income category affect the Fund’s absolute return? |
|
A | Short-term interest rates remained anchored throughout the Reporting Period by a federal funds rate targeted near zero. However, long-term interest rates fell, as investors’ appetites for risk declined, and they found the perceived safer harbor of U.S. Treasuries more attractive than non-Treasury fixed income sectors. As a result, the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, flattened, meaning the differential in yields between longer-dated and shorter-dated U.S. Treasury securities narrowed. Still, the yield curve was not as flat during the Reporting Period as it had been during other recent risk-averse periods such as that seen in 2008. The Fund’s performance was adversely affected by these developments, as it had a net short exposure to fixed income, particularly the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, during the Reporting Period. In other words, a short exposure to this Component Market Factor of the Fund usually generates negative results when 10-year Treasury notes rally and their yields decline. This net short exposure to fixed income was a position the Fund had held since its inception. |
|
Q | Was the Fund positioned net long or short in the Commodities category during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund held net long positions in broad commodities and, separately, in precious metals during the Reporting Period. Commodities, as measured by the S&P GSCItm Index, fell sharply at the beginning of 2010 and then dropped again in May to end the Reporting Period down 11.21%. The S&P GSCItm Index is dominated by energy, which declined 11.38% during the Reporting Period. The energy portion of the S&P GSCItm Index struggled as investors began to doubt the strength of the global recovery, especially in areas of Europe that some considered to have extended their levels of sovereign debt. Precious metals, as measured by the S&P GSCItm Precious Metals Index, advanced 12.98%, by far the best performing segment within the category. Precious metals moved up steadily as the spot price of gold in particular set record highs several times during the Reporting Period — as it had in 2009. Despite the buoying effect of its precious metals exposure, the Fund’s net long positions in the Commodities category overall detracted from its performance during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | How did the Credit category affect the Fund’s results? |
|
A | Although the Credit category is a component of the GS-ART Index’s market factor universe, it has not been a statistically significant factor in explaining hedge fund performance since late 2009. As a result, it was not part of the GS-ART Index or the Fund during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Did Volatility impact the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Although Volatility is a component of the GS-ART Index’s market factor universe, it has so far not been a statistically significant factor in explaining hedge fund performance. As a result, it was not part of the GS-ART Index or the Fund during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Was the Fund invested in any other asset classes during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund had exposure to cash during the Reporting Period, which contributed modestly but positively to its performance. |

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, Class IR and Class R 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 Website at www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS COMMODITY STRATEGY FUND
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs
Commodity Investment Process?
At Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (GSAM), the goal of our commodity investment process is to provide consistent, strong performance by actively managing our portfolios within a research-intensive, risk-managed framework.
| | |
| | Goldman Sachs’ Commodity Investment Process Our commodity investment process emphasizes the importance of both short-term, tactical opportunities and long-term investment views. Our team-based approach to managing the Fund ensures continuity and idea sharing among some of the industry’s most experienced fixed income specialists. We pursue strong, consistent performance across commodity markets through:
The Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund invests in a portfolio of commodity index-linked securities (including leveraged and unleveraged structured notes), other commodity-linked securities and derivative instruments that provide exposure to the performance of the commodities markets, and in fixed income and debt instruments. The Fund may also gain exposure to the performance of the commodity markets through investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized as a company under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). The Fund’s portfolio is designed to provide exposure that corresponds to the investment return of assets that trade in the commodity markets without direct investment in physical commodities.
Enhanced cash strategies that capitalize on GSAM’s global fixed income expertise. The Fixed Income Team will employ the full spectrum of capabilities offered, including bottom-up strategies (credit, mortgages, governments /municipals, high yield, and emerging markets debt) and top-down strategies (duration, cross-sector, currency and country) in an attempt to enhance the return of the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund’s performance and positioning for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −10.31%, −10.71%, −10.36%, −10.20% and −10.53%, respectively. These returns compare to the −11.21% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P GSCI tm Commodity Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “GSCI tm”) during the same period. |
|
Q | What economic and market factors most influenced the commodities markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Heightened concerns over European sovereign solvency and Chinese monetary tightening led to a sell-off across risky assets, including commodities, during the Reporting Period. The decline in the commodities market, as measured by the GSCI tm, coincided with a 6.65% decrease in the S&P® 500 Index, a common measure for the broad U.S. equity market. |
|
Q | Of those commodity subsectors where the Fund is most heavily weighted, which were strongest during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The precious metals component of the GSCI tm was the strongest subsector during the Reporting Period, posting a gain of 12.98%. Recent market turmoil helped drive gold prices higher, as investors increasingly looked to gold as a reliable store of value. Prices for gold surged 13.29% during the Reporting Period, ending at $1,242 per ounce on June 30, 2010. Silver also performed well during the Reporting Period, with a price gain of 10.52%. |
|
Q | How did the energy subsector perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The energy subsector, as measured by the S&P GSCI tm Energy Index, decreased 11.38% during the Reporting Period. Energy is the heaviest weighting in the GSCI tm, comprising 70.52% of the GSCI at the end of June. Crude oil prices declined slightly during the Reporting Period, ending at $76 per barrel on June 30, 2010 compared to approximately $78 per barrel at the end of 2009. In addition to macroeconomic concerns, the price decline in crude oil was driven by high domestic inventory levels. |
|
Q | Which commodity subsectors were weakest during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Agriculture was the worst performing subsector during the Reporting Period, with the S&P GSCI tm Agriculture Index down 18.19%. Sugar experienced a strong sell-off resulting in a 40.45% price decline due to new production and mean reversion following strong 2009 performance. Wheat and corn prices were down 19.32% and 19.91%, respectively. Soybean prices declined 11.88%. |
The industrial metals subsector was also weak, falling 14.27% during the Reporting Period. Copper and aluminum, the largest industrial metals components in the GSCI tm, ended the Reporting Period with price declines of 12.37% and 13.73%, respectively. Lead and zinc prices were down 29.74% and 32.14%, respectively. Only nickel remained in positive territory with an advance of 5.89%. In 2009, the industrial metals sector had recovered strongly, helped by the global economic recovery and various forms of fiscal and monetary stimulus. We believe that trends thus far in 2010 may indicate a slowdown of global economic growth as stimulus measures expire and governments seek to re-balance budgets.
| |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund modestly outperformed its benchmark index. This outperformance was due primarily to the effective implementation of our enhanced roll-timing strategies. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
Q | How did the Fund’s enhanced roll-timing strategies add value to the Fund’s returns? |
|
A | Our enhanced roll-timing strategies added value to the Fund via exposure to commodity index-linked structured notes and swaps. We employ an approach whereby we do not take active views on individual commodities but rather gain Fund exposure to commodities through investments whose performance is linked to commodity indices. |
We often implement commodity roll-timing strategies by deviating from the GSCI tm roll convention, which typically calls for rolling forward exposure at the front, or near-month, end of the futures curve on a monthly basis. The roll occurs during business days 5 through 9 of each month. To the extent our team believes fundamental or technical developments will impact the futures roll-timing decision, we will incorporate those views into the portfolio by electing to roll positions earlier, later, forward or in different weights versus the GSCI tm roll. Roll-timing strategies employed may include 1) alternative roll date modifications, which avoid the market impact of plain vanilla GSCI tm rolls during business days 5 to 9 of each month; 2) forward exposure roll modifications, which avoid the market impact of plain vanilla GSCI tm rolls and move exposure out the curve to mitigate the returns impact often associated with persistent contango; and 3) seasonal roll modifications, which take advantage of seasonal relationships in commodity markets to increase returns. (Contango is defined as a common market condition in which futures prices get progressively higher in the distant delivery months, often reflecting carrying costs.) During the Reporting Period, we employed a forward roll-timing strategy that rolled commodity exposures underlying the GSCI tm a couple of months out on the futures curve instead of rolling at the very front of the futures curve. This enhanced roll-timing strategy enabled us to generate excess returns for the Fund over the GSCI tm during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Did the Fund’s enhanced cash management strategy prove effective? |
|
A | In addition to seeking value through management of the commodities portion of the Fund’s portfolio, we also attempt to add excess return through thoughtful management of collateral held in the Fund. The cash portion of the Fund’s portfolio may be allocated to collateral that includes U.S. Treasury securities, agency debentures, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and other fixed income instruments. Within the Fund’s enhanced cash management strategy, we maintained exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities during the Reporting Period, as we found value in seasoned 15-year mortgage-backed securities. We believe these pools were attractive relative to U.S. Treasury securities due to limited prepayment risk. In turn, we believe prepayment risk in these pools was low because of seasoning and low loan balances. (Seasoned mortgage loans are those that have aged one year or more since origination and that have a satisfactory payment record over that elapsed time.) During the Reporting Period, cash collateral had a neutral impact on the Fund’s overall performance. |
|
Q | Did you make any changes in the Fund’s strategy or allocations during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund continued to hold exposure to the commodities markets in the form of structured notes and swaps linked to the GSCI tm. During the Reporting Period, the Fund held a combination of plain vanilla and enhanced GSCI tm exposure. As mentioned, the enhanced GSCI tm exposure allows our team to implement various commodity roll-timing views and strategies. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned at the end of the Reporting Period? |
|
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s overall commodity positioning was generally in line with the weightings of the GSCI tm. The Fund held exposure to the GSCI tm through approximately 75% forward rolls and 25% plain vanilla rolls, as described above. The cash portion of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated across various fixed income sectors, with an emphasis on the higher quality, lower volatility segments of the market, such as U.S. government and government-sponsored bonds. |
|
Q | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy going forward? |
|
A | We are cautiously constructive in our view for the commodities markets as a whole over both the near-term and long-term, as we believe geopolitical, demographic, economic and other trends should support higher prices across much of the commodities complex. We believe increasing demand from emerging economies for commodities such as oil and industrial metals as well as constrained supply in select commodity markets creates a bullish backdrop for the sector. While we expect economic growth in China to slow from very high levels, we continue to believe its continued growth and urbanization should help support numerous commodities markets over the next decade. |

These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 4.5% 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, Class IR and Class R 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 Website at www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Allocation Fund’s performance and positioning from its inception date on January 5, 2010 through June 30, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −2.50%, −2.80%, −2.20%, −2.30% and −2.50%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.13%, −6.65% and 5.33% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmarks, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch USD LIBOR 1-Month Constant Maturity Index (LUS1) (the “LIBOR 1-Month Index”), 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 same time period. |
It is worth noting that the Fund outperformed a blended composite, comprised 40% of the S&P® 500 Index, 20% of the MSCI EAFE Index and 40% of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, representing a traditional balanced portfolio, which returned −2.92% during the same period. Also, importantly, the Fund’s overall volatility was 9.1% during the Reporting Period, well within its current target long-term volatility range of 8% to 10%.
| |
Q | What strategic, risk-based factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), futures, swaps and other derivatives that provide exposure to a broad spectrum of asset classes, including but not limited to equities (both in U.S. and non-U.S. companies), fixed income (U.S. and non-U.S., investment grade and high yield) and commodities. Our team manages the Fund dynamically by changing its allocations to these asset classes based on our tactical views and in response to changing market conditions. Our team uses a disciplined, rigorous and quantitative approach in allocation to the asset classes in which the Fund invests. Allocations are adjusted within the Fund at least monthly based on continuous analysis to help determine which investments are relatively attractive and provide the best opportunities for growth in any given period of time. Since the markets represented by each investment are constantly changing, so are the Fund’s allocations. |
During the Reporting Period, dynamic risk-based management, the primary determinant of the Fund’s asset allocation, detracted from performance, largely as a result of allocations to international equity and commodities. Both of these asset classes were hurt significantly in May, declining with the “flash crash” on May 6, when the Dow Jones Industrial Index fell 999 points in a span of 30 minutes. It should be noted that this sudden drop was widely believed to be exacerbated by the growing amount of anomalies inherent in electronic trading. Starting on that same date, the volatility of the international equity and commodity asset classes began to spike after a relatively calm April. As a result, we modestly reduced the Fund’s exposures to these asset categories as well as to U.S. small-cap stocks and to U.S. credit, each of which experienced similarly rising volatility levels. In other words, as risk began to rise in several asset classes, we adjusted the Fund’s exposures such that no one asset class would overwhelmingly drive the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio.
Offsetting the detracting effect from commodities and international equity was the Fund’s fixed income allocation, particularly in the U.S., which contributed positively to its returns. During the Reporting Period, we slightly increased the Fund’s allocation to both U.S. and international fixed income, as the risk levels in these asset classes stayed relatively steady compared to equity and commodity volatility during the same time period.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
Q | What were the primary contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance based on strategic, risk-based allocations during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Our allocation to fixed income helped the Fund’s performance most, though our allocation to commodities largely offset the gains from fixed income. The Fund’s results from both a risk and return perspective were within expectations, in light of both the bear and bull markets experienced during the first half of 2010. |
|
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Market Sentiment Indicator factor into risk allocation decisions that were made during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Goldman Sachs Market Sentiment Indicator (“MSI”) is a proprietary composite of various measures of financial disruption, such as the volatility of the S&P 500 Index and credit spreads. With the help of the MSI, the Fund seeks to mitigate risk in unstable markets by reducing volatility. |
During the Reporting Period, the MSI reacted most to market activity in the second quarter. After signaling low levels of market disruptions in April, the MSI rose in early May and was again modestly elevated through weeks of turbulence in June. The MSI, however, never exceeded a threshold mandating an active reduction in overall portfolio risk.
| |
Q | What tactical allocation decisions were the primary contributors to and detractors from performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund’s tactical allocations during the Reporting Period primarily reacted to the market activity in the second quarter of 2010. The Fund’s overweight exposure to U.S. equity on average during the Reporting Period was the greatest detractor from returns, particularly given that we maintained this overweight exposure in late April and May when U.S. equities fell. However, the Fund’s losses were mitigated by the benefit of the Fund having only modest exposure to international equity and commodities, asset classes that each struggled, especially in May. |
The Fund’s overweight exposure to U.S. credit also hurt performance. These securities underperformed higher quality, government-backed fixed income securities as investors’ risk appetites waned through May, causing flows into safer asset classes.
| |
Q | What is the Fund’s tactical asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead? |
|
A | As of the end of June 2010, on a tactical basis, we were especially bullish in our view on U.S. fixed income given attractive valuations and strong short-term momentum. Additionally, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweight exposure to international fixed income, as it appeared relatively well priced compared to other asset classes and had exhibited strong medium-term momentum. |
Two of the asset classes we underweighted most in the Fund at the end of June were emerging market equities and commodities, both of which experienced weak medium-term momentum and which were expensive when compared with other asset classes.
Within developed equities, although the Fund was generally overweighted U.S. equity relative to international equity during the second quarter of 2010, our preference shifted as the months progressed. Going into the third quarter of the year, we had become bullish on international equity markets relative to the U.S. equity market, as U.S. equity had weaker momentum toward the end of the Reporting Period and appeared slightly expensive in comparison to other developed market equity.
We continue to believe that the Fund’s dynamic allocation approach is important because it can adapt to changing markets, seeking what we believe are the best opportunities for investment and attempting to mitigate risk when the markets become unstable.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund’s performance and positioning for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of −11.99%, −12.33%, −11.98% and −11.89%, respectively. These returns compare to the −9.56% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-US Real Estate Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Real Estate Index”) during the same period. |
|
Q | What economic and market factors most influenced the international real estate securities market as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | For the Reporting Period overall, the international real estate securities market, as measured by the Real Estate Index, declined in absolute terms, but outpaced the broad international equity market, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), by more than three percentage points. Canada was the strongest absolute performer during the Reporting Period, as its relatively stable economy and solid banking system helped to support its real estate values. Conversely, Europe as a whole had the worst absolute performance, as sovereign debt concerns raised the risk premiums on equities as well as on real estate. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund underperformed the Real Estate Index during the Reporting Period due primarily to security selection in Continental Europe, Hong Kong and Singapore, which detracted from results. Only partially offsetting these factors were effective stock selection in the United Kingdom and Japan and positioning in Brazil, which added value during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings? |
|
A | Canadian hotel REIT InnVest Real Estate Investment Trust was one of the Fund’s best-performing holdings during the Reporting Period. InnVest Real Estate Investment Trust represents a mix of internationally-recognized brands, ranging from limited to full service hotels. At the time we purchased the REIT for the Fund, we believed the Canadian market, unlike other regions, was not willing to pay for early recovery pricing in the hotel sector. However, during the Reporting Period market sentiment changed on the back of improved revenues per available room and on indications that corporate travel and short-term group bookings had picked up. Given this shift in sentiment and as the REIT’s operations within the hotel sector are most levered to an improving economy due to an effective lease term of one day, InnVest Real Estate Investment Trust significantly outperformed during the Reporting Period. |
Japan’s largest real estate company Mitsui Fudosan was also a top contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, but the contribution was due to the Fund’s underweight position in the company relative to the Real Estate Index. We reduced the Fund’s position in this Japanese office company as we believed Mitsui Fudosan’s leasing operations, which were experiencing higher than average vacancy rates and lower rents, would be a downward pressure on its earnings for the next fiscal year. Indeed, its share price declined during the Reporting Period, and so the Fund’s positioning proved prudent.
| |
Q | Which positions detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Norwegian commercial real estate operator and developer Norwegian Property was a major detractor from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. Norwegian Property saw its share price decline as a result of an aggressive write-down of its hotel portfolio, which the company was looking to divest. Still, we held on |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
| to the Fund position, as we believe that Norwegian Property will be able to sell its hotel operations at fair value and shift focus back to its prime office assets. We further believe that the market has not recognized the quality of office assets in Norwegian Property’s portfolio, which, in our view, should benefit from the strong Norwegian economy and limited supply growth over the next few years. Also, we were pleased with the recent restructuring of the company’s management team, which is engaged in alternative options regarding its hotel operations. |
French diversified REIT Unibail-Rodamco was another top detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period, hurt in large part by the broad brush of sovereign debt concerns throughout Europe, which raised the risk premiums on equities as well as on real estate. We maintained the Fund’s position in the REIT, as Unibail-Rodamco remains one of our team’s favorite companies in Europe. We favor its quality portfolio of prime shopping centers and office assets and consider its balance sheet to be strong.
| |
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in Aeon Mall, Japan’s largest developer of mall centers. We believe Aeon Mall should benefit from improved domestic consumer spending and limited supply in the mall subsector. |
We also established a Fund position in Commonwealth Property Office Fund, an Australian office REIT. We believe its domestic, central business district office portfolio may well outperform as fundamentals begin to improve.
We exited the Fund’s position in Hong Kong retail company Hang Lung Properties. Although we liked the quality commercial assets in the company’s portfolio, we believed its stock already reflected the successful execution of near-term developments and believed alternative companies in the region offered a more attractive risk/return profile.
We also eliminated the Fund’s position in Hong Kong diversified real estate company Swire Pacific. Swire Pacific maintained strong occupancy and rental rates during the economic downturn, but we believed other companies were better positioned to see their shares appreciate as fundamentals turn around.
| |
Q | Were there any changes made in the Fund’s investment strategy during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking securities rather than on making regional, country or subsector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its regional or subsector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of real estate securities’ appreciation or depreciation. During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to Asia (ex-Japan) increased, specifically Hong Kong and Singapore. The Fund’s exposure to Europe (ex-U.K.) also increased, particularly France and Norway. Its allocation compared to the benchmark index in the U.K. decreased. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of June 2010? |
|
A | From a regional perspective, the Fund was overweighted relative to the Real Estate Index in Europe (ex-U.K.) at the end of the Reporting Period, particularly in France and Norway. The Fund was materially underweighted compared to the benchmark index in the U.K. and in Asia (ex-Japan), particularly Hong Kong and Singapore. The Fund was neutrally weighted compared to the Real Estate Index in Japan, the Pacific, the emerging markets and Canada at the end of June 2010. |
|
Q | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
|
A | All international regions, to varying degrees, experienced a correction in private real estate values during the Reporting Period. We believe evidence suggests that, by the end of the Reporting Period, real estate fundamentals had bottomed and were starting to accelerate in select regions. We believe macroeconomic concerns and policy shifts will likely continue to have a muting effect on real estate performance and pricing over the near term. Over the longer term, we expect pricing to recover more significantly as global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and job growth return against a backdrop of constrained supply for commercial real estate. |
At the company level, we believe management teams are focused on earnings growth through internal and external means as acquisition opportunities become available and demand picks up. As fundamental, bottom-up investors, we believe we are seeing opportunities that go beyond the headline risks associated with certain regions. We intend to focus our approach on those companies that have recapitalized their balance sheets and that possess quality attributes, such as a robust business model, a high quality asset exposure, and a strong management team.

3 | The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional and Class IR 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 Website at www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund’s performance and positioning for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 5.11%, 4.77%, 4.80%, 5.36%, 5.11%, 5.24% and 5.00%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.40% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Wilshire Index”) during the same period. |
|
Q | What economic and market factors most influenced the U.S. real estate securities market as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | For the Reporting Period overall, the U.S. real estate securities market, as measured by the Wilshire Index, outpaced the broad equity market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, by more than 12 percentage points. The multifamily subsector was the top performer during the Reporting Period, as financial- and housing-related issues created a shift of demand away from single family home ownership and into the rental market. In turn, the increased demand for supply-constrained apartments led to stronger earnings growth for the multifamily subsector relative to other U.S. real estate subsectors. Conversely, the industrial subsector was the worst performer within the Wilshire Index during the Reporting Period, as vacancy rates rose and rents declined. This economically-sensitive subsector was also impacted by headline risk stemming from uncertainty regarding both global trade and strength of the economic recovery. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund modestly underperformed the Wilshire Index during the Reporting Period due primarily to security selection in the retail, multifamily and diversified real estate subsectors. Partially offsetting these factors was effective stock selection in the hotel, health care and office real estate subsectors, which contributed positively to relative returns during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings? |
|
A | Commercial REIT Digital Realty Trust was one of the Fund’s best-performing holdings during the Reporting Period. Digital Realty Trust posted strong returns as the company continued to raise capital and invest accretively. The REIT also benefited from a lack of credible competitors in this high barrier to entry market. In our view, Digital Realty Trust was well positioned for ongoing momentum as demand for data centers outpaces supply, thereby producing a favorable environment for rental growth. |
Leisure REIT Host Hotels & Resorts was also a top contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. The hotel subsector is the most levered to an improving economy and is widely anticipated to be the first to benefit from improving fundamentals. As a result, investors anticipated strong external growth opportunities for the company. More specifically, Host Hotels & Resorts benefited during the Reporting Period from its high quality lodging portfolio in gateway cities.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
Q | What were some of the Fund’s weakest-performing individual holdings? |
|
A | Blue-chip defensive companies underperformed during the Reporting Period as the REIT market recorded significant gains. As a result, the Fund’s overweight to the multifamily REIT American Campus Communities detracted from results. We continue to believe in the long-term prospects of this market leader in high quality student housing communities. In our opinion, it is poised to benefit from positive demographic growth trends in student enrollment. |
Similarly, an overweight to the diversified REIT Liberty Property Trust detracted from Fund performance. Liberty Property Trust has suburban office and industrial exposure, two sectors that lagged the broader market gains during the Reporting Period. We continue to have conviction in the name because of its strong balance sheet, above average dividend yield and market mix.
| |
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in Taubman Centers, an owner and developer of high quality regional mall properties in the U.S. We believe that strengthening same-store sales within the luxury and upper-end segments of the market should give the company strong potential for future rent gains. In addition, we have confidence in Taubman Centers’ strong balance sheets that, in our view, gives the company room for external growth. |
We also established a Fund position in Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, which develops and owns high quality retail outlet centers across the U.S. We believe that Tanger should benefit from the secular trend in retailer demand for outlet center space given the growing customer preference for value pricing. Additionally, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers has what we consider to be a low risk development pipeline, one of the best debt profiles in its subsector and is led by a high quality management team.
We exited the Fund’s position in diversified REIT Entertainment Properties Trust. Our original investment thesis on Entertainment Properties Trust was based on its stable, well leased theater portfolio. Since we purchased the REIT for the Fund, its management team indeed solidified its top position as owners of high quality stadium seating theaters, and as a result, the stock performed well and exceeded our valuation target. We sold the Fund’s position, taking profits.
We also eliminated the Fund’s position in Regency Centers, a leading national owner, operator and developer of grocery-anchored and community shopping centers. Regency Centers’ stock performed well, exceeding our price target, as strong leasing activity offset tenant move-outs. We sold the Fund’s position, taking profits.
| |
Q | Were there any changes made in the Fund’s investment strategy during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking securities rather than on making real estate subsector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its real estate subsector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of real estate securities’ appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to the diversified REIT subsector increased relative to the Wilshire Index and its allocation compared to the benchmark index to industrial REITs decreased. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of June 2010? |
|
A | From a subsector perspective, the Fund had a modestly overweighted exposure compared to the Wilshire Index in the self-storage subsector at the end of the annual period. The Fund was modestly underweighted compared to its benchmark index in the office subsector and was rather neutrally weighted in the remaining real estate subsectors. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
Q | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
|
A | U.S. real estate securities experienced a significant rally during the Reporting Period, as companies once priced for bankruptcy were able to tap the capital markets to reduce leverage. We believe evidence suggests that, by the end of the Reporting Period, real estate fundamentals had bottomed and were starting to accelerate in select subsectors. We believe macroeconomic concerns and policy shifts will likely have a muting effect on real estate performance and pricing over the near term. Over the longer tem, we expect pricing to recover more significantly as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and job growth return against a backdrop of constrained supply for commercial real estate. |
At the company level, we believe management teams are focused on earnings growth through internal and external means as acquisition opportunities become available and demand picks up. As fundamental, bottom-up investors, we believe we are seeing opportunities that go beyond the headline risks associated with certain subsectors. We intend to focus our approach on those companies that have recapitalized their balance sheets and that possess quality attributes, such as a robust business model, a high quality asset exposure, and a strong management team.

3 | The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar year that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after the conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. Effective November 2, 2009, the Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds). |
The 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 Website at www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and 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.

(a) | A credit spread on the referenced obligation, together with the period of expiration, is an indicator of payment/performance risk. The likelihood of a credit event occurring which would require a fund to make a payment or otherwise be required to perform under the swap contract is generally greater as the credit spread and term of the swap contract increase. |

2. BASIS FOR CONSOLIDATION FOR THE COMMODITY STRATEGY FUND
Goldman Sachs Cayman Commodity Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on April 2, 2009 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Commodity Strategy Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Fund. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of June 17, 2009, and it is intended that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. Under the Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of June 30, 2010, the Fund’s net assets were approximately $624,141,000, of which approximately $111,000,000, or approximately 18%, represented the Fund’s ownership of the shares of the Subsidiary.

3. 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.
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. Realized gains and losses resulting from principal paydowns on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are included in interest income. Market discounts, original issue discount (“OID”) and market premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis of that security. 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.
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. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Dynamic Allocation Fund are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date of the commencement of operations.
E. Redemption Fees — All classes of the Absolute Return Tracker, Commodity Strategy and International Real Estate Securities 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.

F. 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 |
|
Absolute Return Tracker and Dynamic Allocation | | Annually | | Annually |
|
|
Commodity Strategy and Real Estate Securities | | Quarterly | | Annually |
|
|
International Real Estate Securities | | Semi-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 Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code. Therefore, the Commodity Strategy Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
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.
G. Commodity Index-Linked Structured Notes — The Absolute Return Tracker, Commodity Strategy and Dynamic Allocation Funds may invest in structured notes whose values are based on the price movements of a commodity index. Commodity index-linked structured notes are valued daily by the issuing counterparties under procedures approved by the trustees. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index or investment. The structured notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked index. Commodity index-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying index and their value may be affected by the performance of commodities as well as other factors including liquidity, quality, maturity and other economic variables. These structured notes are subject to prepayment, credit and interest rate risks. The structured notes have an automatic redemption feature if the underlying index declines from the entrance date by the amount specified in the agreement. The Funds have the option to request prepayment from the issuer at any time. Interim payments received are recorded as net realized gains, and at maturity, or when a structured note is sold, the Funds record a realized gain or loss.

H. 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.
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.
I. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross-hedge against either specific transactions, portfolio positions or to seek to increase total return. All contracts are marked to market daily at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized gains or losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded by the Fund on a daily basis and realized gains or losses are recorded on the settlement date of a contract.
Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to cover its obligations under these contracts.
J. Futures Contracts — The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates, or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds deposit cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when a contract is closed or expires.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts may be illiquid, and exchanges may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices during a single day. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures, to cover their obligations under these contracts.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
K. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — The Funds (except the Absolute Return Tracker Fund) may invest in mortgage-backed and/or asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real property. These securities may include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, real estate mortgage investment conduit pass-through or participation certificates and stripped mortgage-backed securities. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of assets such as auto loans, credit card receivables, leases, installment contracts and personal property. Asset-backed securities also include home equity line of credit loans and other second-lien mortgages.
The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Early repayment of principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may expose a Fund to the risk of earning a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral. In addition, while mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers, if any, will meet their obligations.
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all of the interest payments (the interest-only, or “IO” and/or the high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all of the principal payments (the principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, adjustments are made to the cost of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income. Payments received for PO’s are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities and excess amounts are recorded gains.
L. Short Sales — The Absolute Return Tracker and Dynamic Allocation Funds may engage in short selling. In these transactions, the Funds sell a financial instrument they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of the instrument, then must borrow the instrument to make delivery to the buyer. The Funds are obligated to replace the financial instrument borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the instrument was sold by the Funds, which may result in a loss or gain, respectively. Unlike purchasing a financial instrument like a stock, where potential losses are limited to the purchase price and there is no upside limit on potential gain, short sales involve no cap on maximum losses, while gains are limited to the price of the stock at the time of the short sale.
The Funds may, during the term of any short sale, withdraw the cash proceeds of such short sale and use these cash proceeds to purchase additional securities or for any other Fund purposes. Because cash proceeds are Fund assets which are typically used to satisfy the collateral requirements for the short sale, the reinvestment of these cash proceeds may require the Funds to post as collateral other securities that it owns. If the Funds reinvest the cash proceeds, the Funds might be required to post an amount greater than its net assets (but less than its total assets) as collateral. For these or other reasons, the Funds might be required to liquidate long and short positions at times that may be disadvantageous to the Funds.
Short sales involve other costs. The Funds must normally repay to the lender an amount equal to any dividend and financing cost that accrues while the loan is outstanding. In addition, to borrow the security, the Funds may be required to pay a premium. The Funds will also incur transaction costs in effecting short sales. The amount of any ultimate gain for the Funds resulting from a short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any ultimate loss will be increased, by the amount of premiums, dividends, interest or expenses the Funds may be required to pay in connection with short sale.

M. Swap Contracts — The Funds may enter into swap transactions for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Funds and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Funds consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, market risk, liquidity risk and elements of credit, legal and documentation risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds may pay or receive cash as collateral on these contracts which may be recorded as an asset and/or liability. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures, to cover their obligations under these contracts.
Swaps are marked to market daily using either pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or model prices and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upfront payments made and/or received by the Funds are recorded as an asset and/or liability and realized gains or losses are recognized ratably over the contract’s term/event, with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps, whose realized gains or losses are recognized ratably from the effective start date. Periodic payments received or made on swap contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of a swap contract and are recorded on the Statements of Operations. The Funds invest in the following types of swaps:
A credit default swap is an agreement that involves one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation. A Fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the reference security or obligation or to take a short position with respect to the likelihood of default. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If a Fund buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted reference obligation in a physically settled trade. A Fund may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
As a seller of protection, a Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Funds sell protection through a credit default swap, the Funds could suffer a loss because the value of the referenced obligation may be less than the premium payments received. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, the Funds, as sellers of credit protection, may be required to take possession of the defaulted reference obligation and pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap in a physically settled trade. The Funds may also pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted security or obligation. In addition, the Funds are entitled to a return of any assets, which have been pledged as collateral to the counterparty.
The Funds’ credit default swaps are disclosed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedules of Investments. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Funds as sellers of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where the Funds bought credit protection.
A total return swap is an agreement that gives a Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.
N. Treasury Inflation Protected-Securities — The Funds may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), including structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers. The adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Funds’ distributions and may result in a return of capital to shareholders. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

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% (except for the Commodity Strategy Fund, which charges at an annual rate of 0.13%) of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class IR and Class R 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 each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
F. Other Agreements — 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 Absolute Return Tracker, Commodity Strategy, Dynamic Allocation, International Real Estate Securities and Real Estate Securities Funds as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.014%, 0.044%, 0.054%, 0.064% and 0.004%, respectively. The Subsidiary also pays certain other expenses, including service and custody fees. GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit the Subsidiary’s expenses (excluding management fees) to 0.004% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. Additionally, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent resulting in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses.

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 $9,100, $100, $800 and $1,200 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Absolute Return Tracker, Commodity Strategy, Dynamic Allocation and Real Estate Securities Funds, respectively.

5. 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:

6. 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.

(b) | | Amount includes $11,538,064 and $27,206 for the Commodity Strategy and Dynamic Allocation Funds, respectively, which represents the payments to be made pursuant to bilateral agreements should counterparties exercise their “right to terminate” provisions based on among others, the Fund’s performance, its failure to pay on its obligations or failure to pledge collateral. Such amount does not include incremental charges directly associated with the close-out of the agreements. It also does not reflect the fair value of any assets pledged as collateral which, through the daily margining process, substantially offsets the aforementioned amount and for which the Fund is entitled to a full return. |
The following table sets forth by certain risk types the Funds’ gains (losses) related to derivative activities and their indicative volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that derivative contracts may have been executed to economically hedge securities and accordingly, gains (losses) on derivative contracts may offset (losses) gains attributable to securities. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Statements of Operations:

8. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, except for the Dynamic Allocation Fund, may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience a delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust (“Enhanced Portfolio”), a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio, deemed an affiliate of the Trust, is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests primarily in short-term investments, but is not a “money market fund” subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 of the Act. The Funds’ investment of cash collateral in the Enhanced Portfolio is subject to a net asset value that may fall or rise due to market and credit conditions. Effective May 26, 2010, the Funds are currently not participating in the securities lending program.
Both the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned by the Funds for the six months ended June 30, 2010, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations. The table below details securities lending activity with affiliates of Goldman Sachs as of, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010:

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 contracts and foreign currency contracts, and differences related to the tax treatment of the Subsidiary’s swap transactions, Passive Investment Companies, real estate investment trust investments and partnership investments.

10. 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 and the Goldman Sachs Profit Sharing Master Trust may invest a significant percentage of their assets in the Funds. In the event the Fund of Funds Portfolios and/or the Profit Sharing Master Trust 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.
Portfolio Concentration Risk — The Real Estate Securities Fund and the International Real Estate Securities Fund invest primarily in securities of U.S. issuers and non-U.S. issuers, respectively, that are primarily engaged in or related to the real estate industry and has a policy of concentrating its investments in the real estate industry. Therefore, investments in the Funds are subject to certain risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. Such risks include, but are not limited to, declines in property values, increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition, zoning changes, and losses from casualty and condemnation.

11. 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.
12. 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.

(a) | Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology. |
| |
(b) | Assumes investment at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the net asset value at the end of the period and no sales or redemption charges. Total returns would be reduced if a sales or redemption charge was taken into account. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |
| |
(d) | The ratio is not annualized as the Fund’s income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 did not correlate to the income earned during the class’s period of operation due to timing of income recognition. |

GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund, Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund and Goldman Sachs Dynamic Allocation 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 (except for Dynamic Allocation Fund, which commenced operations in 2010), 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;
(d) expense information for the Funds, including:
(i) the relative management fee and expense levels of the Funds (which, in the case of Dynamic Allocation Fund, were estimates) as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;
(ii) each Fund’s (except for the Dynamic Allocation Fund) 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 of International Real Estate Securities Fund 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 Fund;
(g) information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of each of the Funds (with the exception of the Dynamic Allocation Fund, which commenced operations in 2010) and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
(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, an update on the Investment Adviser’s soft dollars practices 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 Real Estate Securities 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.
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. 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 (with the exception of Dynamic Allocation Fund, which commenced operations in 2010) 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-, five- and ten-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 (except for Dynamic Allocation Fund) 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 (except for Dynamic Allocation Fund) over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
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.
The Trustees noted that the Commodity Strategy Fund ranked in the third quartile of its peer group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, but also observed that the Fund had outperformed its benchmark over the same period. They noted that the Absolute Return Tracker Fund was in the bottom half of its peer group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, but noted that the Fund succeeded in its objective of tracking the Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Index. The Trustees considered the performance of the Real Estate Securities and International Real Estate Securities Funds (the “Real Estate Funds”), and considered the respective market sectors in which the Real Estate Funds invested. The Trustees recognized that 2008 and 2009 were difficult years for the real estate asset class generally. It was also noted that the Real Estate Funds underperformed their benchmarks in 2009 and also fared poorly relative to funds in their peer groups, with many of the funds in the International Real Estate Securities Fund’s peer group being predominantly global in orientation. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s reaction to market events, the underperformance of the Funds, and the Investment Adviser’s commitment to improving the Funds’ performance. The Trustees noted that the Dynamic Allocation Fund commenced operations in 2010 and had provided a reasonable level of performance to investors in light of its investment policies and given prevailing conditions in the markets in which the Fund invests. The Trustees concluded 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 (with respect to Dynamic Allocation Fund, the Outside Data Provider used estimates). 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. 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 (with the exception of Dynamic Allocation Fund, which commenced operation in 2010). 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
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
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 (except for Dynamic Allocation 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:

Next $1 billion | | | 1.04 | | | | 0.50 | | | | 1.05 | | | | 0.90 | | | | 0.81 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.99 | | | | 0.45 | | | | 0.95 | | | | 0.86 | | | | 0.77 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.97 | | | | 0.43 | | | | 0.90 | | | | 0.84 | | | | 0.75 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.95 | | | | 0.42 | | | | 0.88 | | | | 0.82 | | | | 0.74 | |
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) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of the Real Estate Funds; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) in the case of the Real Estate Funds, 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 was invested); (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (h) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (j) 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 Real Estate 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.
Dynamic Allocation Fund
The Dynamic Allocation Fund commenced investment operations on January 5, 2010, and the Trustees had considered, at a meeting held on November 18-19, 2010, (i) the initial appointment of the Investment Adviser to serve as the Dynamic Allocation Fund’s investment adviser and (ii) the initial approval of the Management Agreement on behalf of the Dynamic Allocation Fund. At that meeting, the Trustees considered, in addition to many of the above factors, the Investment Adviser’s (and its affiliates’) ability to provide services to the Dynamic Allocation Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, although the Dynamic Allocation Fund was new, many of the portfolio personnel who would be providing services to the Dynamic Allocation Fund were currently providing services to other investment portfolios of the Trust. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to provide quality services to the Dynamic Allocation Fund.
The Trustees considered the management fee to be paid by the Dynamic Allocation Fund, and the Dynamic Allocation Fund’s anticipated total expenses, along with the Dynamic Allocation Fund’s anticipated assets under management. They also considered a report prepared by the Outside Data Provider, which compared the Dynamic Allocation Fund’s anticipated management fee and total expenses to those of a peer group and category median. The Trustees also noted the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit the Dynamic Allocation Fund’s “other expenses” ratio (excluding certain expenses) to a specified level. They recognized that the Dynamic Allocation Fund did not yet have profitability data to evaluate. They reviewed the proposed breakpoints in the management fee schedule and concluded that the breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. The Trustees also considered the fees to be paid to Goldman Sachs in its capacity as the Dynamic Allocation Fund’s transfer agent and distributor, along with other fall-out benefits that would potentially be received by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
The Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the proposed management fee to be paid by the Dynamic Allocation Fund would be reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser and the Dynamic Allocation Fund’s reasonably foreseeable asset levels, and that the Management Agreement should be approved on behalf of the Dynamic Allocation Fund.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement as to each Fund, 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, Service, Class IR or Class R Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares), and redemption fees (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR or Class R Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from 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. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |
