GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
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 Capital Growth Fund invests primarily in large capitalization U.S. equity investments. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities (including non-investment grade fixed income securities), which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Non-investment grade fixed income securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging country 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 Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging country 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 Concentrated Growth Fund is “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and may invest a large percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” mutual funds. Because of the smaller number of stocks generally held in the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund may be subject to greater risks than a more diversified fund. A change in the value of any single holding may affect the overall value of the portfolio more than it would affect a diversified fund that holds more investments.
The Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund invests in U.S. equity investments in small-, mid- and large-cap issuers. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The securities of small-and mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities (including non-investment grade fixed income securities), which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Non-investment grade fixed income securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging country 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 Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund invests in U.S. equity investments with a primary focus on mid-cap companies. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The securities of mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities (including non-investment grade fixed income securities), which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Non-investment grade fixed income securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging country 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.
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
The Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund invests in equity investments with a primary focus on small- and mid-cap companies. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities (including non-investment grade fixed income securities), which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Non-investment grade fixed income securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging country 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 Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund invests primarily in large-capitalization U.S. equity investments. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities (including non-investment grade fixed income securities), which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Non-investment grade fixed income securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging country 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 Goldman Sachs Technology Tollkeeper FundSM invests primarily in equity securities of high quality technology, media or service companies that adopt or use technology to improve their cost structure, revenue opportunities or competitive advantage (“Technology Tollkeeper” companies). 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. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. Because the Fund invests in Technology Tollkeeper companies, 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 also invest in fixed income securities (including non-investment grade fixed income securities), which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Non-investment grade fixed income securities involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging market 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 may participate in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) market. The market value of IPO shares may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, and the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer.
The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Fund invests primarily in large-capitalization U.S. equity investments. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Although it does not currently intend to do so, the Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. The Fund may also invest in foreign 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.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Growth Funds
Market Review
Overall, U.S. equities rallied robustly during the six months ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”), with the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) posting a return of 27.73% and the Russell 3000® Index generating a 29.34% return. Such strong performance in general reflected healthy corporate earnings, improving confidence in the U.S. economic recovery and, later in the Reporting Period, investors’ shift toward the developed markets and away from the higher growth economies of the emerging markets given heightened inflation concerns and increased geopolitical risk.
As the Reporting Period began in September 2010, U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose 8.8% — the highest September return since 1939 — as stocks rebounded from a lackluster summer dominated by macroeconomic stresses. Concerns included those regarding the U.S. economic recovery losing steam, ongoing European sovereign debt crises, and the possibility that a slowdown in China’s growth might impact the global economic recovery. However through September and October, U.S. equity markets rallied on strong corporate earnings and confidence that the Federal Reserve (“the Fed”) was willing to take further action to boost the U.S. economy, if necessary.
Despite the Fed’s gloomy prediction that unemployment would remain stubbornly high through 2011, U.S. equity markets were buoyed by a number of positive economic data points through November and December. U.S. economic growth for the third quarter of 2010 was revised up to a 2.5% annualized rate from the earlier estimate of 2%, and robust retail sales figures and strong increases in purchasing and manufacturing surveys were reported. U.S. equity markets also continued to reflect confidence in accommodative monetary and fiscal policy, including the formal announcement of a second round of quantitative easing by the Fed in November and the extension of tax cuts by the U.S. government in December.
As 2011 began, U.S. equities overall maintained their positive momentum, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 5.9% in the first two months of the new year. Unrest in the Arab nations, particularly the fall of Egypt’s Mubarak government and violent clashes in Libya, prompted investor flows from emerging to developed equity markets, such as the U.S. A continued concern that rising inflation in many of the high growth emerging market economies would prompt interest rate increases also supported reallocation of investment monies to developed market equities.
For the Reporting Period overall, cyclical sectors generally outperformed, reflecting investor optimism regarding economic recovery. For example, energy stocks were strong outperformers for most of the Reporting Period. Oil prices began to rise early in the Reporting Period on expectations of global demand growth accompanying a recovering economy. Oil prices then climbed to more than $90 per barrel during December, a high for 2010 and a level not seen since late 2008. By the end of the Reporting Period, crude oil prices spiked to close February at approximately $97 per barrel, with Brent crude prices even higher at nearly $112 per barrel, as political uncertainty in Libya, a significant oil producer, sparked supply fears. The materials sector also posted strong gains for much of the Reporting Period, as the prices of commodities, such as steel and copper, rose sharply on healthy demand. Conversely, more defensive sectors, such as utilities, telecommunication services and health care, lagged during the Reporting Period.
MARKET REVIEW
From a capitalization perspective, small-cap companies, which tend to be more cyclical and outperform in bullish markets, performed best, followed by mid-cap companies and then large-cap companies. Growth stocks outpaced value stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by Russell Investments indices.)
Looking Ahead
The U.S. equity market rallied strongly during the Reporting Period. Stock price momentum appears to have become a growing trend as investors’ appetite for equity has increased, as noted in retail mutual fund flows. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were encouraged that the global economy appeared to have entered its next chapter of recovery and a hand-off from government-subsidized stimulus to a more self-sustainable stage led by healthy corporate spending and consumer participation had begun. Tax policies that came out of Washington D.C. during the Reporting Period should also be helpful, in our view, in increasing investor confidence and in creating some needed visibility into the months ahead. In turn, we believe some longer-term investment strategies can be put in place by individual investors and fund managers alike.
We remain optimistic on corporate profits, predominately driven by top line rather than margin expansion. We have seen and expect to continue to see more in the way of strategic mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions and corporate buybacks, giving us a good backdrop, we believe, for demand for equities. However, at the same time, we believe the need to pick the right stocks in the months ahead will likely increase, as not all companies are expected to be beneficiaries of these trends. In our view, differentiation among stocks will become greater as 2011 progresses and correlations decline from their 2010 highs. As always, deep research resources, a forward-looking investment process and truly actively managed portfolios are keys, in our view, to both preserving capital and outperforming the market over the long term.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in large capitalization U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth 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 24.55%, 24.01%, 24.04%, 24.70%, 24.44%, 24.64% and 24.36%, respectively. These returns compare to the 31.04% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund generated robust double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
|
A | While each of the equity market sectors generated positive absolute returns, positioning in all sectors detracted from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Positioning in the utilities, energy and financials sectors detracted least. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors and having an overweighted position compared to the Russell Index in the lagging telecommunication services sector. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in oilfield services companies Schlumberger and Halliburton and in semiconductor chip manufacturer QUALCOMM. |
Schlumberger contributed to the Fund’s performance, as the oilfield services company benefited from the rising price of oil during the Reporting Period. Strong results from its North American operations also helped its stock price performance, as the company benefited from improvements in U.S. pricing for its services and in drilling activity as well as from restructuring and streamlining of its U.S. operations. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in the company given our belief that it would be able to improve margins through the restructuring of its North American divisions and gain share in international markets. We trimmed the Fund’s position in Schlumberger by the end of the Reporting Period.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Like Schlumberger, Halliburton similarly benefited from rising pricing in oil during the Reporting Period. Further, shares of Halliburton rose after the company announced better than expected quarterly results. Halliburton reported an unexpected increase in activity and stronger pricing in its pressure pumping business. The company also noted solid improvements in its cementing and directional drilling business segments. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe Halliburton was well positioned within the oil well services industry given its globally diversified franchise and superior technology. In addition, we believed Halliburton would likely benefit from industry regulation surrounding deep water drilling, as it is likely to create demand for the company’s specialized products and services, which would, in turn, increase revenue and improve margins for the company.
Shares of QUALCOMM rose during the Reporting Period after the company reported fiscal first quarter earnings that beat consensus estimates and raised guidance for 2011 overall. Its better than anticipated results were driven by higher handset pricing as smart phone demand remained strong. In addition, Nokia announced its partnership with Microsoft to create the Nokia-Windows Phone, which will adopt Windows Phone as its principal smart phone platform. In our view, QUALCOMM is likely to be a significant beneficiary of this partnership given its role as the exclusive chipset vendor for Windows Phone 7 smart phones. We further believe the company is competitively well positioned given its strong intellectual property portfolio of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, a protocol used in wireless communications to transmit multiple digital signals simultaneously over the same carrier frequency) technologies and significant growth opportunities in emerging markets and 3G and 4G (third generation and fourth generation) mobile phones. We added to the Fund’s position in QUALCOMM during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in beverage, snack and food manufacturer PepsiCo, data center services company Equinix and health care and medical products manufacturer Johnson & Johnson. |
PepsiCo detracted from the Fund’s performance as its shares fell after the company reported weaker than expected fiscal fourth quarter earnings and issued disappointing guidance. The company faced rising input costs that impacted margins and hurt its results. Still, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in the company as we believe PepsiCo is well positioned due to its strong brand recognition to exert pricing power in order to maintain margins. In addition, we believe that cost saving synergies from the acquisition of its bottlers along with long-term opportunities in the emerging markets should provide additional earnings growth potential. We further believe the company’s management has a strong track record of making disciplined investment decisions. We trimmed the Fund’s position in PepsiCo during the Reporting Period.
Equinix detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period as the company’s disappointing fiscal third quarter earnings weighed on its shares. In October 2010, Equinix pre-announced third quarter and full year 2010 revenue that fell short of expectations as the company is believed to have made pricing concessions to retain key customers. While it may take time for investors to regain confidence in the company, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the key long-term secular growth drivers behind our original investment thesis, including cloud computing mobile data and video, remained in place. (Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.) Thus we trimmed the Fund’s holding in Equinix during the Reporting Period but maintained a position in its stock.
During the Reporting Period, Johnson & Johnson generated a positive absolute return, but it detracted from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index. Its shares were pressured by the company’s reports of disappointing fiscal second quarter results and its lowered guidance for 2010. The company’s updated full-year guidance reflected the impact of the product recalls it announced earlier in 2010 as well as unfavorable foreign exchange rates. In our view, these issues are transitory. We believe the company is poised for growth over the longer term given its robust product pipeline. Thus, we trimmed the Fund’s position in Johnson & Johnson during the Reporting Period but maintained a position in its stock.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We initiated a Fund position in Salesforce.com, a provider of enterprise cloud computing applications, during the Reporting Period. We believe the company is poised for growth as it transitions from offering a single product to a platform of enterprise applications. We further believe customer attrition will decline as the company expands its capabilities to offer more differentiated enterprise cloud solutions, which, in turn, should lead to more rapid adoption of the technology and allow the company to gain market share. |
We established a Fund position in global payment and travel company American Express. In our view, the company is well positioned to take advantage of a turnaround in corporate hiring. We believe the recent uncertainty regarding the indirect impact from the Durbin amendment, which legislated credit interchange, created an attractive opportunity to initiate a position in the company.
Conversely, the Fund sold its position in diversified financial services firm JPMorgan Chase. While we believe JPMorgan Chase remains one of the strongest franchises in the financial services industry, we also believe the company has fewer growth prospects than some others in the industry given its sizable balance sheet. The company’s stock was trading during the Reporting Period at a premium valuation compared to its peers. Furthermore, we remained concerned over the company’s exposure to the still-weak housing market and to the risks associated with foreclosure and litigation issues. As the risk/reward profile for JPMorgan Chase had become less attractive in our view, we decided to eliminate the Fund’s position in the company’s stock.
We exited the Fund’s position in Monsanto, a chemical company that specializes in agricultural biotechnology. The company produces genetically engineered seed for most commercial crops and is a leading producer of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, such as Roundup. During the Reporting Period, Monsanto reported disappointing preliminary harvest results for its SmartStax corn product. Due to the near-term concerns surrounding the product’s ability to meet yield expectations, we decided to sell out of the Fund’s position in Monsanto.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector 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 sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to health care and telecommunication services modestly decreased and its allocations to consumer discretionary and information technology modestly increased relative to the Russell Index. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2011? |
|
A | At the end of February 2011, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, telecommunication services, health care and information technology sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials and, to a lesser degree, in energy and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary and consumer staples and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2011. |

3 | | The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, 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. |
|
4 | | 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 Web site at: www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund typically holds 30-45 high quality growth companies and tends to be more concentrated in individual holdings, industries and sectors than the typical broadly diversified large-cap growth fund.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 25.94%, 25.54%, 25.49%, 26.23%, 26.07% and 25.85%, respectively. These returns compare to the 31.04% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund generated robust double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
|
A | Effective stock selection in the energy and financials sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an underweighted allocation to the lagging utilities sector also buoyed Fund results. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was having an overweighted allocation to the poorly-performing telecommunication services sector and stock selection in the consumer staples and information technology sectors, where company-specific issues weighed on certain holdings. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in oilfield services companies Schlumberger and Halliburton and in semiconductor chip manufacturer QUALCOMM. |
Schlumberger contributed to the Fund’s performance, as the oilfield services company benefited from the rising price of oil during the Reporting Period. Strong results from its North American operations also helped its stock price performance, as the company benefited from improvements in U.S. pricing for its services and in drilling activity as well as from restructuring and streamlining of its U.S. operations. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in the company given our belief that it would be able to improve margins through the restructuring of its North American divisions and gain share in international markets. We added to the Fund’s position in Schlumberger during the Reporting Period.
Like Schlumberger, Halliburton similarly benefited from rising pricing in oil during the Reporting Period. Further, shares of Halliburton rose after the company announced better than expected quarterly results. Halliburton reported an unexpected increase in activity and stronger pricing in its pressure pumping business. The company also noted solid improvements in its cementing and directional drilling business segments. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe Halliburton was well positioned within the oil well services industry given its globally diversified franchise and superior technology. In addition, we believed Halliburton would likely benefit from industry regulation surrounding deep water drilling, as it is likely to create demand for the company’s specialized products and services, which would, in turn, increase revenue and improve margins for the company.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Shares of QUALCOMM rose during the Reporting Period after the company reported fiscal first quarter earnings that beat consensus estimates and raised guidance for 2011 overall. Its better than anticipated results were driven by higher handset pricing as smart phone demand remained strong. In addition, Nokia announced its partnership with Microsoft to create the Nokia-Windows Phone, which will adopt Windows Phone as its principal smart phone platform. In our view, QUALCOMM is likely to be a significant beneficiary of this partnership given its role as the exclusive chipset vendor for Windows Phone 7 smart phones. We further believe the company is competitively well positioned given its strong intellectual property portfolio of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, a protocol used in wireless communications to transmit multiple digital signals simultaneously over the same carrier frequency) technologies and significant growth opportunities in emerging markets and 3G and 4G (third generation and fourth generation) mobile phones. We added to the Fund’s position in QUALCOMM during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in data center services company Equinix, beverage, snack and food manufacturer PepsiCo and beauty and related products manufacturer Avon Products. |
Equinix detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period as the company’s disappointing fiscal third quarter earnings weighed on its shares. In October 2010, Equinix pre-announced third quarter and full year 2010 revenue that fell short of expectations as the company is believed to have made pricing concessions to retain key customers. While it may take time for investors to regain confidence in the company, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the key long-term secular growth drivers behind our original investment thesis, including cloud computing mobile data and video, remained in place. (Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.) Thus we trimmed the Fund’s holding in Equinix during the Reporting Period but maintained a position in its stock.
PepsiCo detracted from the Fund’s relative performance as its shares fell after the company reported weaker than expected fiscal fourth quarter earnings and issued disappointing guidance, thus lagging the Russell Index. The company faced rising input costs that impacted margins and hurt its recent results. Still, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in the company as we believe PepsiCo is well positioned due to its strong brand recognition to exert pricing power in order to maintain margins. In addition, we believe that cost saving synergies from the acquisition of its bottlers along with long-term opportunities in the emerging markets should provide additional earnings growth potential. We further believe the company’s management has a strong track record of making disciplined investment decisions. We trimmed the Fund’s position in PepsiCo during the Reporting Period.
Shares of Avon Products declined during the Reporting Period, as the company reported earnings below consensus estimates. The company’s stock had rallied prior to the earnings report on the rumor that L’Oreal would make an offer to buy Avon Products, and we, at that time, trimmed the Fund’s position. While Avon’s fiscal third quarter results were disappointing, our long-term investment thesis remained intact, and thus we subsequently added to the position on weakness. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continue to believe Avon Products is poised to deliver higher operating margins over the next few years as its broad geographic footprint, particularly in Latin America, provides exposure to several growing markets.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We added search engine giant Google to the Fund’s portfolio during the Reporting Period. The company met our investment criteria given its dominant market share in the Internet search industry, its high free cash flow generation and its attractive valuation at the time of purchase. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
We initiated a Fund position in semiconductor chip company Xilinx. Xilinx is the leader in programmable logic devices (PLDs), which are used by customers around the world in a variety of industries, including automotive, broadcast, consumer, medical and military. The company met our investment criteria given its dominant market position and competitive edge in PLDs. In our view, Xilinx should benefit from the secular trend of PLDs taking share from application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), an alternative semiconductor chip. We believe the addressable market for PLDs will continue to expand as they offer significant benefits over ASICs, such as lower development costs, shorter development time and upgradability. Xilinx operates in a duopoly in the PLD industry, which provides pricing power, and its low fixed costs enable it to generate significant free cash flow. Furthermore, we believe the company’s innovative software serves as an effective barrier to entry.
NetApp, a company that develops data storage hardware and software for enterprise clients, was another new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. We believe NetApp has a strong competitive position in an industry benefitting from several growth trends such as virtualization, which we believe will increase the demand for the company’s storage products. (Virtualization is the creation of a virtual, rather than actual, version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources. Within the information technology sector, it is, simply put, an umbrella term for enhancing a computer’s ability to do work.) NetApp specializes in external networked storage, which has and, in our view, will continue to take share away from direct attached products. Within this industry, we believe NetApp’s storage devices are easier to buy, install and manage than competing products. As a result, we believe NetApp is poised to gain market share should companies begin to increase corporate information technology spending as anticipated.
Conversely, we eliminated the Fund’s position in medical products company Baxter International during the Reporting Period. We continue to believe the company is a high quality growth franchise in the health care sector. However, in our view, an early stage hemophilia drug from Biogen Idec may emerge as a competitive threat to some of Baxter International’s products and thus impact its pricing power. Therefore, we no longer considered Baxter International as one of our highest conviction names and decided to exit the position.
We sold out of the Fund’s position in data networking products supplier Cisco Systems. The company was no longer one of our team’s highest conviction names, and we therefore decided to eliminate the Fund’s position in Cisco Systems in favor of other positions with what we considered to be more favorable risk/return profiles.
We exited the Fund’s position in biomedical therapies manufacturer Biogen Idec during the Reporting Period, as its shares meaningfully appreciated since the time of our initial purchase of its stock. Our original investment thesis was based on the belief that the market did not fully appreciate Biogen Idec’s true earnings potential as the company was overspending on research and development. During the Reporting Period, the company announced a significant reduction in spending, yielding higher earnings power, and the stock rallied on the news. As we believe the gap between the company’s intrinsic value and its stock price consequently narrowed, we decided to eliminate the Fund’s position in Biogen Idec.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector 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 sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to health care and telecommunication services decreased and its allocations to consumer discretionary, information technology and materials increased relative to the Russell Index. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2011? |
|
A | At the end of February 2011, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the telecommunication services, financials, health care, consumer staples and information technology sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary and materials and was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in energy. The Fund had no positions at all in the industrials and utilities sectors on February 28, 2011. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund*
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth 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 26.21%, 25.68%, 26.30%, 26.31% and 26.00%, respectively. These returns compare to the 31.80% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund generated robust double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
|
A | While each of the equity market sectors generated positive absolute returns, positioning in all sectors detracted from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Positioning in the utilities, financials and consumer staples sectors detracted least. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was stock selection in the information technology, health care and consumer discretionary sectors. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in semiconductor chip manufacturer QUALCOMM, oilfield services company Schlumberger and apparel, accessories and furnishings designer and distributor Polo Ralph Lauren. |
Shares of QUALCOMM rose during the Reporting Period after the company reported fiscal first quarter earnings that beat consensus estimates and raised guidance for 2011 overall. Its better than anticipated results were driven by higher handset pricing as smart phone demand remained strong. In addition, Nokia announced its partnership with Microsoft to create the Nokia-Windows Phone, which will adopt Windows Phone as its principal smart phone platform. In our view, QUALCOMM is likely to be a significant beneficiary of this partnership given its role as the exclusive chipset vendor for Windows Phone 7 smart phones. We further believe the company is competitively well positioned given its strong intellectual property portfolio of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, a protocol used in wireless communications to transmit multiple digital signals simultaneously over the same carrier frequency) technologies and significant growth opportunities in emerging markets and 3G and 4G (third generation and fourth generation) mobile phones. We added to the Fund’s position in QUALCOMM during the Reporting Period.
| |
* | Effective March 31, 2011, the Goldman Sachs All Cap Growth Fund changed its name to the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Schlumberger contributed to the Fund’s performance, as the oilfield services company benefited from the rising price of oil during the Reporting Period. Strong results from its North American operations also helped its stock price performance, as the company benefited from improvements in U.S. pricing for its services and in drilling activity as well as from restructuring and streamlining of its U.S. operations. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in the company given our belief that it would be able to improve margins through the restructuring of its North American divisions and gain share in international markets. We thus added to the Fund’s position in Schlumberger by the end of the Reporting Period.
Polo Ralph Lauren was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative results for the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company reported strong fiscal second quarter earnings driven by revenue growth and effective cost cutting. A growing presence in emerging markets and expansion of its home and accessories products lines further supported the company’s performance. Following the Fund’s share price advance, we trimmed the Fund’s position in Polo Ralph Lauren, taking profits.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in biopharmaceutical company Amylin Pharmaceuticals, beverage, snack and food manufacturer PepsiCo and data center services company Equinix. |
Amylin Pharmaceuticals’ shares declined after an unexpected regulatory setback called into question the approvability of its key drug, Bydureon. We believe that in the absence of Bydureon, the ability of the company to become sustainably profitable and meet its debt obligations is less certain. As a result, we sold the Fund’s position in the company by the end of the Reporting Period.
PepsiCo detracted from the Fund’s performance as its shares fell after the company reported weaker than expected fiscal fourth quarter earnings and issued disappointing guidance, thus lagging the Russell Index. The company faced rising input costs that impacted margins and hurt its results. Still, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in the company as we believe PepsiCo is well positioned due to its strong brand recognition to exert pricing power in order to maintain margins. In addition, we believe that cost saving synergies from the acquisition of its bottlers along with long-term opportunities in the emerging markets should provide additional earnings growth potential. We further believe the company’s management has a strong track record of making disciplined investment decisions. We trimmed the Fund’s position in PepsiCo during the Reporting Period.
Equinix detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period as the company’s disappointing fiscal third quarter earnings weighed on its shares. In October 2010, Equinix pre-announced third quarter and full year 2010 revenue that fell short of expectations as the company is believed to have made pricing concessions to retain key customers. While it may take time for investors to regain confidence in the company, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the key long-term secular growth drivers behind our original investment thesis, including cloud computing mobile data and video, remained in place. (Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.) Thus we trimmed the Fund’s holding in Equinix during the Reporting Period but maintained a position in its stock.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
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 SBA Communications, a wireless tower owner and operator that licenses antennae space on its towers to wireless service providers. We believe the company’s business model is attractive with long-term leases and fixed annual lease escalators that provide transparency and predictability to revenue and earnings growth. As demand for mobile content grows and wireless carriers are required to add capacity in order to support greater usage, network upgrades and improved coverage, we believe tower leasing will increase. |
We established a Fund position in NVIDIA, a company that designs microprocessors for use in computers and mobile devices. NVIDIA has expanded its offerings from graphics processors to application processors in order to better address the growing tablet and mobile device market. We believe NVIDIA is well positioned with attractive offerings to gain share in this growing market.
Conversely, the Fund sold its position in non-alcoholic beverage company Hansen Natural during the Reporting Period. Hansen Natural’s shares performed well as the company rapidly grew sales, specifically of its Monster brand energy drink. While we continued to have conviction in the company’s growth prospects, we believe its stock had reached full valuation and thus decided to exit the position.
During the Reporting Period, we exited the Fund’s position in Schweitzer-Mauduit International, a specialty paper company that is the largest supplier of papers to the tobacco industry. During the Reporting Period, we became less convinced that the company’s intellectual properties would serve as a sufficient barrier to entry. This change affected our original investment thesis in the company and led us to eliminate the Fund’s position in its stock.

Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector 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 sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer staples, financials, information technology and materials increased and its allocations to consumer discretionary, energy and industrials decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2011? |
|
A | At the end of February 2011, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, information technology, telecommunication services and health care sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, consumer staples, materials and energy and was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in consumer discretionary. The Fund had no position at all in the utilities sector on February 28, 2011. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in medium-sized growth companies with a market capitalization between $1 and $10 billion. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities 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 26.40%, 25.99%, 26.00%, 26.62%, 26.33%, 26.57% and 26.25%, respectively. These returns compare to the 35.62% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund generated robust double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
|
A | While each of the equity market sectors generated positive absolute returns, positioning in all sectors detracted from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Positioning in the utilities, health care and consumer staples sectors detracted least. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was stock selection in the information technology, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in apparel, accessories and furnishings designer and distributor Polo Ralph Lauren, oilfield services company Cameron International and apparel retailer J. Crew. |
Polo Ralph Lauren was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative results for the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company reported strong fiscal second quarter earnings driven by revenue growth and effective cost cutting. A growing presence in emerging markets and expansion of its home and accessories products lines further supported the company’s performance. Following the Fund’s share price advance, we trimmed the Fund’s position in Polo Ralph Lauren, taking profits.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Cameron International was a strong performer for the Fund during the Reporting Period. In 2010, shares of Cameron International fell on news that the company was one of several that provided equipment (specifically, the blowout preventer or B.O.P.) and services onboard the BP rig involved in the Gulf of Mexico disaster. We believed the company’s share price declines at that time were overdone given what we believe will be the ultimate impact to the company and thus added to the Fund’s position in Cameron International on weakness. Since the incident, rig operators have become more conservative in maintaining rig equipment. For example, operators are increasingly returning equipment to manufacturers, such as Cameron International, in order to perform better quality checks and maintenance than the operators can provide. As shares of the company rebounded and advanced in early 2011, we trimmed the Fund’s position in its stock but maintained the holding. Contrary to consensus opinion, we believe that additional industry regulation may actually continue to benefit Cameron International. Indeed, in our view, regulations mandating greater safety measures are likely to include requirements for heavier, higher quality B.O.P. equipment, which would actually increase revenue and improve margins for the company.
Shares of J. Crew rose in November 2010 after the company agreed to be acquired at a significant premium to the previous close by TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners LP. We subsequently sold the Fund’s position in J. Crew. We believe that acquisitions demonstrate one method by which the valuation gap between a company’s stock price and the intrinsic worth of the company can close quickly when other business buyers recognize the company’s long-term growth potential.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in data center services company Equinix, biopharmaceutical company Amylin Pharmaceuticals and beauty and related products manufacturer Avon Products. |
Equinix detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period as the company’s disappointing fiscal third quarter earnings weighed on its shares. In October 2010, Equinix pre-announced third quarter and full year 2010 revenue that fell short of expectations as the company is believed to have made pricing concessions to retain key customers. While it may take time for investors to regain confidence in the company, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the key long-term secular growth drivers behind our original investment thesis, including cloud computing mobile data and video, remained in place. (Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.) Thus we trimmed the Fund’s holding in Equinix during the Reporting Period but maintained a position in its stock.
Amylin Pharmaceuticals’ shares declined after an unexpected regulatory setback called into question the approvability of its key drug, Bydureon. We believe that in the absence of Bydureon, the ability for the company to become sustainably profitable and meet its debt obligations is less certain. As a result, we sold the Fund’s position in the company by the end of the Reporting Period.
Shares of Avon Products declined during the Reporting Period, as the company reported earnings below consensus estimates. The company’s stock had rallied prior to the earnings report on the rumor that L’Oreal would make an offer to buy Avon Products, and we, at that time, trimmed the Fund’s position. While Avon’s fiscal third quarter results were disappointing, our long-term investment thesis remained intact, and thus we subsequently added to the position on weakness. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continue to believe Avon Products is poised to deliver higher operating margins over the next few years as its broad geographic footprint, particularly in Latin America, provides exposure to several growing markets.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
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 SBA Communications, a wireless tower owner and operator that licenses antennae space on its towers to wireless service providers. We believe the company’s business model is attractive with long-term leases and fixed annual lease escalators that provide transparency and predictability to revenue and earnings growth. As demand for mobile content grows and wireless carriers are required to add capacity in order to support greater usage, network upgrades and improved coverage, we believe tower leasing will increase. |
We established a Fund position in SuccessFactors, a business execution software provider, during the Reporting Period. The company has been a beneficiary of the trend toward cloud computing, as its software is available on demand via the Internet utilizing a subscription-based business model. In our view, its software is defining a new category in business execution, whereby its enterprise clients are able to more effectively track data related to strategic projects, employee performance and overall productivity.
Conversely, we eliminated the Fund’s position in American Tower during the Reporting Period. The company has been a long-term holding in the Fund’s portfolio and has been a strong performer since our time of purchase. However, during the Reporting Period, we came to the decision that given its larger market capitalization, it was no longer suitable for a mid-cap portfolio.
We sold the Fund’s position in non-alcoholic beverage company Hansen Natural during the Reporting Period. Hansen Natural’s shares performed well as the company rapidly grew sales, specifically of its Monster brand energy drink. While we continued to have conviction in the company’s growth prospects, we believe its stock had reached full valuation and thus decided to exit the position.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector 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 sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer staples, energy and materials decreased and its allocations to consumer discretionary, financials and information technology increased relative to the Russell Index. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2011? |
|
A | At the end of February 2011, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, energy and telecommunication services sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in materials, health care, industrials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in information technology and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2011. |

Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in small and medium-sized growth companies with a market capitalization between $200 million and $10 billion. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth 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 27.61%, 27.01%, 27.12%, 27.77%, 27.53%, 27.66% and 27.36%, respectively. These returns compare to the 40.13% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund generated robust double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
|
A | While each of the equity market sectors generated positive absolute returns, positioning in all sectors detracted from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Positioning in the utilities, consumer staples and financials sectors detracted least. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was stock selection in the information technology, industrials and energy sectors. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in digital media content provider Sonic Solutions, telecommunications fiber optics producer IPG Photonics and integrated mobile telecommunications content provider Motricity. |
Sonic Solutions, a third party provider of streaming movie content, was a top contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Rovi at a significant premium to the previous close. We subsequently sold the Fund’s position in Sonic Solutions. We believe that acquisitions demonstrate one method by which the valuation gap between a company’s stock price and the intrinsic worth of the franchise can close quickly when other business buyers recognize the company’s long-term growth potential.
Shares of IPG Photonics, a company that designs and manufactures fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers for materials processing, communications and medical applications, rose after the company preannounced fiscal fourth quarter earnings above the company’s prior guidance. We added to the Fund’s position in IPG Photonics during the Reporting Period given our belief that the company maintained significant growth opportunities. The company holds dominant market share in the fiber laser business, which we believe is gaining share in both the laser and non-traditional laser applications markets.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Motricity contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares advanced after the company reported better than expected earnings and announced an agreement with Celcom, a telecommunication services operator in Malaysia and a subsidiary of the Axiata Group. Previously, the company had entered into an agreement with XL Axiata, an Indonesian subsidiary of Axiata. We believe such agreements are a positive trend for Motricity, as the Axiata Group has additional holdings throughout Asia, including India, Singapore and Bangladesh. In turn, we believe Motricity is well positioned to offer its mobile software solutions to wireless providers throughout the world and particularly in emerging markets that have high growth in mobile device usage. We maintained a Fund holding position in Motricity but trimmed its position during the Reporting Period, taking gains.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in biopharmaceutical company Amylin Pharmaceuticals, enterprise software and services company MedAssets and data center services company Equinix. |
Amylin Pharmaceuticals’ shares declined after an unexpected regulatory setback called into question the approvability of its key drug, Bydureon. We believe that in the absence of Bydureon, the ability for the company to become sustainably profitable and meet its debt obligations is less certain. As a result, we sold the Fund’s position in the company by the end of the Reporting Period.
MedAssets, which provides technology-enabled products and services for hospitals and health systems, detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares fell after the company reported fiscal fourth quarter earnings that were below expectations. As we believe the company offers value-added services to hospitals and is well positioned to grow despite recent poor execution, we added to the Fund’s position in MedAssets on weakness.
Equinix detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period as the company’s disappointing fiscal third quarter earnings weighed on its shares. In October 2010, Equinix pre-announced third quarter and full year 2010 revenue that fell short of expectations as the company is believed to have made pricing concessions to retain key customers. While it may take time for investors to regain confidence in the company, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the key long-term secular growth drivers behind our original investment thesis, including cloud computing mobile data and video, remained in place. (Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.) Thus we added to the Fund’s position in Equinix during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We initiated a Fund position in Rovi during the Reporting Period. The company holds patents on interactive program guides (IPGs) for video delivery services and devices. The IPGs are used in cable and satellite providers’ set-top boxes, and Rovi receives a monthly royalty for each subscriber. In addition, for devices without monthly fees, the company receives a single payment at the time of sale. We believe Rovi, which, as mentioned earlier, acquired Sonic Solutions during the Reporting Period, has significant growth opportunities should demand for interactive media management systems continue to increase as anticipated. We also believe the company’s patents provide a barrier to entry. |
We established a Fund position in ExamWorks, a provider of independent medical examinations for the insurance and legal industries. ExamWorks employs a network of objective, third-party physicians to provide litigation support, bill and peer reviews and other related services to these industries. The company is the only nationwide service in an otherwise fragmented industry. We believe the company has the ability to grow revenue by integrating smaller competitors and enhance its economic value through scale advantages.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Conversely, the Fund sold its position in non-alcoholic beverage company Hansen Natural during the Reporting Period. Hansen Natural’s shares performed well as the company rapidly grew sales, specifically of its Monster brand energy drink. While we continued to have conviction in the company’s growth prospects, we believe its stock had reached full valuation and thus decided to exit the position.
We sold the Fund’s position in battery and shave related products company Energizer Holdings during the Reporting Period. Its shares performed well after the company announced strong quarterly earnings driven by sales growth and improved gross margins. In particular, within its personal care division, the company’s Schick shaving products led to better than expected performance behind the new men’s Hydro razor. While we continue to believe Energizer Holdings has a strong product portfolio and significant opportunities to grow sales, we believe the stock had reached full valuation and thus decided to exit in favor of other opportunities.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector 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 sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to financials, health care and information technology increased and its allocations to consumer staples, energy and materials decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2011? |
|
A | At the end of February 2011, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, telecommunication services and energy sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in materials, health care, consumer staples, consumer discretionary and industrials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in information technology and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2011. |

3 | | The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, 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. |
|
4 | | 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 Web site at: www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in large cap growth stocks. More specifically, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team seeks businesses with dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream and free cash flow. Additionally, the Team seeks companies with high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Fund is more selective and focused than many mutual funds and there are typically 50 to 70 holdings in the portfolio.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth 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 23.00%, 22.58%, 22.52%, 23.29%, 22.99%, 23.18% and 22.87%, respectively. These returns compare to the 31.04% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund generated robust double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
|
A | While each of the equity market sectors generated positive absolute returns, positioning in all sectors detracted from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Positioning in the utilities, energy and industrials sectors detracted least. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was having an overweighted allocation to the lagging consumer staples sector and stock selection in the consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in oilfield services companies Schlumberger and Halliburton and in semiconductor chip manufacturer QUALCOMM. |
Schlumberger contributed to the Fund’s performance, as the oilfield services company benefited from the rising price of oil during the Reporting Period. Strong results from its North American operations also helped its stock price performance, as the company benefited from improvements in U.S. pricing for its services and in drilling activity as well as from restructuring and streamlining of its U.S. operations. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in the company given our belief that it would be able to improve margins through the restructuring of its North American divisions and gain share in international markets. We added to the Fund’s position in Schlumberger during the Reporting Period.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Like Schlumberger, Halliburton similarly benefited from the rising pricing in oil during the Reporting Period. Further, shares of Halliburton rose after the company announced better than expected quarterly results. Halliburton reported an unexpected increase in activity and stronger pricing in its pressure pumping business. The company also noted solid improvements in its cementing and directional drilling business segments. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe Halliburton was well positioned within the oil well services industry given its globally diversified franchise and superior technology. In addition, we believed Halliburton would likely benefit from industry regulation surrounding deep water drilling, as it is likely to create demand for the company’s specialized products and services, which would, in turn, increase revenue and improve margins for the company.
Shares of QUALCOMM rose during the Reporting Period after the company reported fiscal first quarter earnings that beat consensus estimates and raised guidance for 2011 overall. Its better than anticipated results were driven by higher handset pricing as smart phone demand remained strong. In addition, Nokia announced its partnership with Microsoft to create the Nokia-Windows Phone, which will adopt Windows Phone as its principal smart phone platform. In our view, QUALCOMM is likely to be a significant beneficiary of this partnership given its role as the exclusive chipset vendor for Windows Phone 7 smart phones. We further believe the company is competitively well positioned given its strong intellectual property portfolio of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, a protocol used in wireless communications to transmit multiple digital signals simultaneously over the same carrier frequency) technologies and significant growth opportunities in emerging markets and 3G and 4G (third generation and fourth generation) mobile phones. We added to the Fund’s position in QUALCOMM during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in beverage, snack and food manufacturer PepsiCo, wireless communications and broadcast tower operator Crown Castle International and beauty and related products manufacturer Avon Products. |
PepsiCo detracted from the Fund’s performance as its shares fell after the company reported weaker than expected fiscal fourth quarter earnings and issued disappointing guidance, thus lagging the Russell Index. The company faced rising input costs that impacted margins and hurt its recent results. Still, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have conviction in the company as we believe PepsiCo is well positioned due to its strong brand recognition to exert pricing power in order to maintain margins. In addition, we believe that cost saving synergies from the acquisition of its bottlers along with long-term opportunities in the emerging markets should provide additional earnings growth potential. We further believe the company’s management has a strong track record of making disciplined investment decisions. We thus added to the Fund’s position in PepsiCo during the Reporting Period on weakness.
Shares of Crown Castle International pulled back after strong performance during the Fund’s prior fiscal year. While its shares were down, the company issued fiscal third quarter results and 2010 guidance ahead of estimates. Such results were driven by strong leasing trends as customers are building out their 4G (fourth generation) networks. Should demand for mobile content grow as anticipated, we believe tower leasing will increase as wireless carriers are required to add capacity in order to support increased usage, network upgrades and improved coverage. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Crown Castle International was well positioned with a portfolio of tower sites that exhibit high urban exposure. We believed such positioning, in turn, may well allow the company to gain share in leasing activity, as new network builds are being concentrated in urban markets. Thus, we trimmed the Fund’s position in the wireless tower company but maintained a Fund holding in its stock.
Shares of Avon Products declined during the Reporting Period, as the company reported earnings below consensus estimates. The company’s stock had rallied prior to the earnings report on the rumor that L’Oreal would make an offer to buy Avon Products, and we, at that time, trimmed the Fund’s position. While Avon’s fiscal third quarter results were disappointing, our long-term investment thesis remained intact, and thus we subsequently added to the position on weakness. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continue to believe Avon Products is poised to deliver higher operating margins over the next few years as its broad geographic footprint, particularly in Latin America, provides exposure to several growing markets.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We initiated a Fund position in Salesforce.com, a provider of enterprise cloud computing applications, during the Reporting Period. (Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.) We believe the company is poised for growth as it transitions from offering a single product to a platform of enterprise applications. We further believe customer attrition will decline as the company expands its capabilities to offer more differentiated enterprise cloud solutions, which, in turn, should lead to more rapid adoption of the technology and allow the company to gain market share. |
We established a Fund position in global payment and travel company American Express. In our view, the company is well positioned to take advantage of a turnaround in corporate hiring. We believe the recent uncertainty regarding the indirect impact from the Durbin amendment, which legislated credit interchange, created an attractive opportunity to initiate a position in the company.
Conversely, the Fund sold its position in diversified financial services firm JPMorgan Chase. While we believe JPMorgan Chase remains one of the strongest franchises in the financial services industry, we also believe the company has fewer growth prospects than some others in the industry given its sizable balance sheet. As a result, the company’s stock was trading during the Reporting Period at a premium valuation compared to its peers. Furthermore, we remained concerned over the company’s exposure to the still-weak housing market and to the risks associated with foreclosure and litigation issues. As the risk/reward profile for JPMorgan Chase had become less attractive in our view, we decided to eliminate the Fund’s position in the company’s stock.
We exited the Fund’s position in Monsanto, a chemical company that specializes in agricultural biotechnology. The company produces genetically engineered seed for most commercial crops and is a leading producer of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, such as Roundup. During the Reporting Period, Monsanto reported disappointing preliminary harvest results for its SmartStax corn product. Due to the near-term concerns surrounding the product’s ability to meet yield expectations, we decided to sell out of the Fund’s position in Monsanto.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector 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 sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer staples, energy and health care decreased and its allocation to information technology increased relative to the Russell Index. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2011? |
|
A | At the end of February 2011, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the telecommunication services, health care, financials and consumer staples sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, energy and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary and information technology and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2011. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Technology Tollkeeper Fund*
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity investments of “Technology Tollkeeper” companies. In general, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team defines a Technology Tollkeeper company as a high quality technology, media or service company that adopts or uses technology to improve its cost structure, revenue opportunities or competitive advantage. The Team believes Technology Tollkeeper connotes a promising growth business. Like a toll collector for a highway or bridge, Technology Tollkeeper companies may grow revenue by increasing “traffic,” or customers and sales, and raising “tolls,” or prices, and margins. The Team believes that the characteristics of recurring revenue or the ability to generate free cash flow should enable them to consistently grow their business.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs Technology Tollkeeper Fund (the “Fund”) perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional and Service Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 27.61%, 27.19%, 27.22%, 27.89% and 27.66%, respectively. These returns compare to the 31.61% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the NASDAQ Composite Index (the “NASDAQ Index”), during the same period. |
The Fund introduced IR Shares on September 30, 2010. From that date through February 28, 2011, the Fund’s IR Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charge, of 13.25%. This return compares to the 17.46% cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Index during the same period.
| |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund generated robust double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the NASDAQ Index during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
|
A | While all but one of the equity market sectors generated positive absolute returns, positioning in all sectors detracted from the Fund’s results relative to the NASDAQ Index during the Reporting Period. Positioning in the health care, information technology and financials sectors detracted least. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was stock selection in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors and having an overweighted allocation to the lagging telecommunication services sector. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The Fund benefited most relative to the NASDAQ Index from positions in digital media content provider Sonic Solutions, integrated mobile telecommunications content provider Motricity and semiconductor chip manufacturer QUALCOMM. |
Sonic Solutions, a third party provider of streaming movie content, was a top contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Rovi at a significant premium to the previous close. We subsequently sold the Fund’s position in Sonic Solutions. We believe that acquisitions demonstrate one method by which the valuation gap between a company’s stock price and the intrinsic worth of the franchise can close quickly when other business buyers recognize the company’s long-term growth potential.
| |
* | Effective July 31, 2010, the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund changed its name to the Goldman Sachs Technology Tollkeeper Fund. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Motricity contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares advanced after the company reported better than expected earnings and announced an agreement with Celcom, a telecommunication services operator in Malaysia and a subsidiary of the Axiata Group. Previously, the company had entered into an agreement with XL Axiata, an Indonesian subsidiary of Axiata. We believe such agreements are a positive trend for Motricity, as the Axiata Group has additional holdings throughout Asia, including India, Singapore and Bangladesh. In turn, we believe Motricity is well positioned to offer its mobile software solutions to wireless providers throughout the world and particularly in emerging markets that have high growth in mobile device usage. We maintained a Fund holding position in Motricity but trimmed its position during the Reporting Period, taking gains.
Shares of QUALCOMM rose during the Reporting Period after the company reported fiscal first quarter earnings that beat consensus estimates and raised guidance for 2011 overall. Its better than anticipated results were driven by higher handset pricing as smart phone demand remained strong. In addition, Nokia announced its partnership with Microsoft to create the Nokia-Windows Phone, which will adopt Windows Phone as its principal smart phone platform. In our view, QUALCOMM is likely to be a significant beneficiary of this partnership given its role as the exclusive chipset vendor for Windows Phone 7 smart phones. We further believe the company is competitively well positioned given its strong intellectual property portfolio of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, a protocol used in wireless communications to transmit multiple digital signals simultaneously over the same carrier frequency) technologies and significant growth opportunities in emerging markets and 3G and 4G (third generation and fourth generation) mobile phones. We added to the Fund’s position in QUALCOMM during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in data center services company Equinix, solar power modules encapsulant manufacturer STR Holdings and audio signal processing systems developer Dolby Laboratories. |
Equinix detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period as the company’s disappointing fiscal third quarter earnings weighed on its shares. In October 2010, Equinix pre-announced third quarter and full year 2010 revenue that fell short of expectations as the company is believed to have made pricing concessions to retain key customers. While it may take time for investors to regain confidence in the company, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the key long-term secular growth drivers behind our original investment thesis, including cloud computing mobile data and video, remained in place. (Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.) Thus we trimmed the Fund’s position in Equinix during the Reporting Period but maintained a position in its stock.
STR Holdings detracted from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. The company engineers a material that is used in the production of solar panels. The material encapsulates and protects the photovoltaic cells and functions as an adhesive to the panel. STR Holdings’ products are used across multiple photovoltaic cell manufacturers. During the Reporting Period, the company reported strong solar revenue growth, and gross margin expansion led to better than expected fiscal third quarter earnings. However, shares of the stock declined due to concerns that pricing pressures would cause its margins to erode. In our view, solar module prices are likely to decline as the business becomes more commoditized, which should drive demand higher and, in turn, should lead to strong solar volume growth, with STR Holdings a beneficiary. As we believe the company is well positioned to benefit from the overall growth in the solar power generation industry, we added to the Fund’s holding of STR Holdings on weakness during the Reporting Period.
Dolby Laboratories collects royalties from companies that employ the company’s audio technology designed to enhance the entertainment experience. For example, Microsoft employs the technology in its Windows operating systems, specifically Vista and the new Windows 7. The company’s shares declined during the Reporting Period after it lowered its earnings guidance for 2011 to reflect weaker personal computer and television consumer trends. We continued to believe that the Dolby Laboratories franchise remains intact and the addressable market for its technologies, including smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices, is the largest it has been in the company’s history. As a result, we took the

opportunity to add to the Fund’s position in the company on weakness during the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We initiated a Fund position in Rovi during the Reporting Period. The company holds patents on interactive program guides (IPGs) for video delivery services and devices. The IPGs are used in cable and satellite providers’ set-top boxes, and Rovi receives a monthly royalty for each subscriber. In addition, for devices without monthly fees, the company receives a single payment at the time of sale. We believe Rovi, which, as mentioned earlier, acquired Sonic Solutions during the Reporting Period, has significant growth opportunities should demand for interactive media management systems continue to increase as anticipated. We also believe the company’s patents provide a barrier to entry. |
We established a Fund position in Rackspace Hosting, a leading provider of hosting and cloud computing services. We believe Rackspace Hosting differentiates itself through its focus on client service, an advantage that we believe should lead to increased adoption of its services, subscriber growth and recurring revenue generation. Furthermore, we believe the company is well positioned to gain market share should the architecture of computing continue to shift toward the cloud as anticipated. During the Reporting Period, the company reported weaker than expected fiscal third quarter earnings results. Given our strong conviction in the company, we took advantage of what we believe was a short-term dislocation in the market and purchased the stock for the Fund’s portfolio.
In addition to the sale of Sonic Solutions, mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in information technology consulting services firm Cognizant Technology Solutions. The company had been a top contributor to the Fund’s performance in 2010, and we believed its shares had reached full valuation. As a result, we eliminated the Fund’s position in the firm in favor of what we considered more attractive opportunities.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector 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 sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer discretionary, industrials and telecommunication services decreased and its allocations to financials and information technology increased relative to the NASDAQ Index. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2011? |
|
A | At the end of February 2011, the Fund’s most significant overweighting relative to the NASDAQ Index continued to be in the information technology sector. The Fund also had overweighted positions relative to the NASDAQ Index in telecommunication services and more modestly so in the materials sector. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the NASDAQ Index in consumer discretionary, financials and industrials. The Fund had no exposure to the consumer staples, energy, health care and utilities sectors on February 28, 2011. |

3 | | The Standardized Average Annual Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if performance is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional and Service Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. |

4 | | 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 Web site at: www.goldmansachsfunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. large-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity investments that are considered by the Investment Adviser to be high-quality companies that have compelling prospects and attractive valuations. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also, but does not currently intend to, invest in fixed income securities, including government, corporate and bank debt obligations. The Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team uses fundamental research to find strong business franchises with favorable long-term growth prospects and excellent management. Investment criteria include dominant market share, positive free cash flow, enduring competitive advantages and sustainable growth. The process also includes a valuation component. The Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Value Investment Team’s philosophy is based on the belief that all successful investing should thoughtfully weigh two important attributes of a stock: price and prospects. The Team uses a strong valuation discipline to purchase well-positioned, cash-generating businesses run by shareholder-oriented management teams.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team and the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Value Investment Team discuss the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity 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 27.39%, 26.99%, 27.78%, 27.69% and 27.34%, respectively. These returns compare to the 27.73% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Stock selection overall contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
|
A | Effective stock selection in the industrials, information technology and financials sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the S&P 500 Index. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was stock selection in the energy, consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors, where company-specific issues weighed on certain holdings. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The Fund benefited most relative to the S&P 500 Index from positions in global oilfield services company Schlumberger, diversified manufacturing and technology company Honeywell International and semiconductor chip manufacturer QUALCOMM. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Schlumberger was a top contributor to the Fund’s results, as the oilfield services company benefited from the rising price of oil during the Reporting Period. Strong results from its North American operations also helped its stock price performance, as the company benefited from improvements in U.S. pricing for its services and in drilling activity as well as from restructuring and streamlining of its U.S. operations.
Honeywell International’s stock performed strongly during the Reporting Period. The company was a strong contributor to Fund results, as its share price rose after it announced a change to its method of pension accounting. Under the new method, volatility of pension expense will decrease, which should lead to more stable corporate earnings going forward. In addition, the company experienced multiple sell-side upgrades and confirmed positive guidance for its business.
Shares of QUALCOMM rose during the Reporting Period after the company reported fiscal first quarter earnings that beat consensus estimates and raised guidance for 2011 overall. Its better than anticipated results were driven by higher handset pricing as smart phone demand remained strong.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in diversified consumer foods company General Mills, utilities company Entergy and wireless and wireline telecommunication services company Sprint Nextel. |
Shares of consumer staples giant General Mills were pressured during the Reporting Period by investor concerns over the impact of inflation on its profit margins. Despite these headwinds, we maintained conviction in this company, as we believe both that its diverse portfolio of products has above-average growth opportunities and that its established history of product innovation should enable it to gain market share and expand into new categories.
Entergy, an electric power production and retail distribution company, detracted from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period due primarily to weak power prices. In addition, the market responded negatively to Entergy’s inability to sell its Vermont Yankee nuclear plant.
In telecommunication services, uncertainty around the funding status of wireless broadband services provider Clearwire pressured shares of the Fund’s holding in Sprint Nextel, which owns a stake in Clearwire. In the short term, we believe that Clearwire will be able to obtain funding that should relieve pressure on both Clearwire and Sprint Nextel shares. Sprint Nextel’s shares were also negatively affected by the company’s reports of weaker than expected earnings. While this announcement caused the company’s stock to decline, we believe there were significant long-term positives included in the earnings release as well. The company reported its second straight quarter of growth in new customers and showed notable improvement in postpaid churn, that is, the number of customers, bound by a contract and who pay a monthly sum in exchange for a given number of call minutes, who switch to a competitor, compared to one year prior. Together, we believe these factors should drive continued progress in the recovery of its business.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Broadly speaking, we added to select global franchises with increased exposure to developing market revenue streams as well as secular growth stories with what we believed to be compelling valuations. In energy, we added to the Fund’s position in Schlumberger, a global oilfield services company with strong market share in deep water. As Schlumberger has a clear, leading position in the international markets, we believe that Schlumberger should be a primary beneficiary of the international oil services recovery that is anticipated to materialize later in 2011 and be more robust in 2012. We also favored Schlumberger because of what we considered to be its strong management team and balance sheet. |
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
In industrials, we added to the Fund’s position in General Electric. We added to the Fund’s holding in General Electric at the end of 2010 as the stock had lagged its peers within the sector for the calendar year, and we believed this was a prudent opportunity to increase the Fund’s position in the diversified technology, media and financial services conglomerate. In our view, the stock was attractively valued given the company’s favorable business mix and global growth prospects. We believe General Electric’s management team has effectively improved the firm’s business mix by divesting low margin, low return businesses while investing in global growing businesses as well as by cutting overall costs and making thoughtful research and development decisions throughout the recent global economic downturn. In our view, the firm is well positioned to gain market share as the global economy continues to recover.
We eliminated the Fund’s position in Cisco Systems after the Internet data networking products supply company reported disappointing fiscal second quarter results. We were concerned about the sustainability of profit margins in the company’s core switching and router businesses, which constitute approximately one-third of its profits. We believe that Cisco Systems is seeing increased competition and lower margins in these businesses, and we are of the view that it may take several quarters or more for the company to stabilize its gross margins, which could, in turn, continue to pressure its earnings-per-share growth. Although we expect the company to continue to be a leader in its markets over the long term, we believe we have identified other investments with more attractive risk/return profiles.
In energy, we trimmed the Fund’s position in oilfield services company Halliburton, as its stock was a strong performer for the Reporting Period and showed less upside, in our view, than other energy names with similar prospects.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector 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 sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to information technology increased compared to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s allocations compared to the benchmark index in energy, health care and utilities decreased. ’ |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2011? |
|
A | At the end of February 2011, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P 500 Index in the financials, consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P 500 Index in energy, utilities, health care and materials and was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in consumer staples, industrials and information technology. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds is to value investments at market value. Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a United States (“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. 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 the 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”) of the investment company 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.

| |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the previous closing prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Funds’ NAV. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: situations relating to one or more single issuers in a market sector; significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions or market closings; equipment failures; natural or man-made disasters or acts of God; armed conflicts; government actions or other developments; as well as the same or similar events which may affect specific issuers or the securities markets even though not tied directly to the securities markets. Other significant events that could relate to a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; corporate announcements, including those relating to earnings, products and regulatory news; significant litigation; low trading volume; and trading limits or suspensions.
B. Security and Fund Share Transactions, and Investment Income — Security and Fund share transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date, which may cause the NAV as stated in the accompanying financial statements to be different than the NAV applied to Fund share transactions. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to accrue for foreign capital gains taxes, if applicable, on certain foreign securities held by the Funds. An estimated foreign capital gains tax is recorded daily on net unrealized gains on these securities and is payable upon the sale of such securities when a gain is realized.
Investment income and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Commission Recapture — Certain Funds may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Funds as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) from investments.
D. In-Kind Transactions — The Funds may allow investors, under certain circumstances, to purchase shares with securities instead of cash. In addition, the Trust reserves the right to redeem an investor’s shares by distributing securities instead of cash. These are known as in-kind transactions. Securities included as part of in-kind purchases and redemptions of Fund shares are valued in the same manner as they are valued for purposes of computing the Fund’s NAV, in accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures, and such valuations are as of the date the trade is submitted pursuant to the procedures specified in the Funds’ prospectus.
E. 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. Non-class specific expenses are allocated daily to each share class of the respective Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent, and Service fees.
F. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the U.S. Equity Fund were amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations.
G. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2011 (Unaudited)
| |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
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 |
|
All Funds | | Annually | | Annually |
|
|
Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
H. Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements which involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Funds, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Funds seek to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM, or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Under these joint accounts, the Funds’ credit exposure is allocated to the underlying repurchase agreements counterparties on a pro-rata basis. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.

3. 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, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

Prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the trustees. Where the application of the above contractual management fee breakpoint schedule would result in a lower management fee rate, the breakpoint schedule will be applied to the Fund’s assets. |
B. Distribution and Service Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee, computed daily and

C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A front end sales charge and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges.

D. 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 that is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
E. 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 computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expense” of the Funds (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 Expense reimbursements, if any, are

computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for Capital Growth, Concentrated Growth, Flexible Cap Growth, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Strategic Growth, Technology Tollkeeper and U.S. Equity Funds are 0.004%, 0.014%, 0.014%, 0.014%, 0.064%, 0.004%, 0.064% and 0.044%, respectively. These Other Expense reimbursements will remain in place through at least December 29, 2011, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction in the Funds’ expenses.
For the six months ended February 28, 2011, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows (in thousands):

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2011, 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 February 28, 2011, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

|
|
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, differences related to the tax treatment of partnership investments, and underlying fund investments.
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.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

Funds’ Shareholder Concentration Risk — Certain funds, accounts, individuals or Goldman Sachs affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Funds’ shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in the Funds may impact the Funds’ liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force the Funds to sell 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.
Portfolio Concentration Risk — The Technology Tollkeeper Fund invests primarily in equity investments in “Technology Tollkeeper” companies. In general, the investment adviser defines a Technology Tollkeeper company as a high-quality technology, media, or service company that adopts or uses technology to improve its cost structure, revenue, opportunities or competitive advantage. Because of its focus on technology, media and service companies, the Technology Tollkeeper Fund’s investment performance will be closely tied to many factors which affect those companies. The Technology Tollkeeper Fund may also invest in a relatively few number of issuers. As a result, the Technology Tollkeeper Fund’s net asset value is more likely to have greater fluctuations than that of a Fund which is more diversified or invests in other industries.
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.
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.

* | | The Fund changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to August 31. |
(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 dividends and 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. |
(c) | | Annualized. |
(d) | | Includes non-recurring expense for a special shareholder meeting which amounted to approximately $0.01 per share and approximately 0.05% of average net assets. |
(e) | | Reflects income recognized from non-recurring special dividends which amounted to $0.01 per share and 0.12% of average net assets. |
(f) | | Reflects an increase of $0.07 per share and 0.67% of average net assets due to payments received for class action settlements received during the year. |
(g) | | Total return reflects the impact of payments received for class action settlements received during the year. Excluding such payments, the total return would have been 27.32%, 26.43%, 26.32%, 27.82% and 27.25%, respectively. |
(h) | | Reflects an increase of $0.04 per share and 0.47% of average net assets due to payments received for class action settlements received during the year. |
(i) | | Total return reflects the impact of payments received for class action settlements received during the year. Excluding such payments, the total return would have been 12.22%, 11.24%, 11.39%, 12.64% and 12.02%, respectively. |

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2011 (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, Class C and Class R 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 September 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011.
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 ratios 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 February 28, 2011. 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: |
