Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
This is not a complete list of risks that may affect the Funds. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Funds, please see the Funds’ Prospectus.
The Concentrated International Equity Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. Because the Fund may concentrate its investments in specific countries or regions, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in those countries or regions. The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.
The International Small Cap Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in non-U.S. small-cap companies. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Stocks of smaller companies are often more volatile and less liquid and present greater risks than stocks of larger companies. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions. The Fund may participate in the initial public offering (“IPO”) market. The market value of IPO shares may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, and the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.
The Strategic International Equity Fund is expected to invest in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging market securities may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. The Fund may also invest in fixed income securities, which are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity
International Funds
Market Review
Overall, international equities posted strong gains during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”). The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (net, unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) posted a return of 12.71%.* Such strong performance, we believe, was driven primarily by improved sentiment toward the developed markets, particularly Europe, and by appreciating currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Of course, rising oil prices, geopolitical unrest in the Middle East and North Africa and the catastrophic disasters in Japan also materially impacted international equity performance during the Reporting Period. Indeed, the MSCI EAFE Index’s gains mask what was significant volatility.
International developed equity markets had a weak start to the Reporting Period, trailing the performance of the emerging equity markets in the last months of 2010. However, international developed equity markets then rallied for most of the first four months of 2011, as investors began to gravitate back toward developed market equities as persistently high inflation and continued interest rate increases plagued many of the emerging markets. The shift in sentiment toward developed markets only strengthened when political unrest erupted throughout the Middle East and North Africa, as investors sought to decrease risk in their portfolios.
Positive economic indicators, especially for the German economy, served as a catalyst for improved sentiment toward Europe overall, despite lingering sovereign debt concerns. Greece was the only market within the MSCI EAFE Index to decline during the Reporting Period, but most of the other peripheral European countries also underperformed the broader international equity market amidst ongoing uncertainty over bailout packages and downgrades of debt. As sentiment toward Europe’s economy improved, the euro, having declined in November, rose rather steadily throughout the remainder of the Reporting Period. Statements from the European Central Bank regarding pending interest rate increases in an effort to keep inflation in check further supported the euro’s relative strength. Most local currencies rose against the U.S. dollar during the Reporting Period, which we believe, significantly boosted equity returns in U.S. dollars. (Remember, as the value of the U.S. dollar decreases, the dollar value of foreign investments typically increases, and vice versa.)
Energy stocks overall dominated returns throughout the Reporting Period, as oil prices, measured by the Brent Crude Index, steadily rose from under $90 per barrel to more than $120 per barrel. Toward the end of 2010, the increase was driven by expectations of strengthening demand from a recovering global economy. However, prices spiked further in early 2011 on fears of a supply disruption sparked by political unrest spreading across the Middle East and North Africa. Materials stocks overall also made strong gains during the Reporting Period, as the prices of many underlying commodities continued to rise from already high levels.
The performance of Japanese equities, which was rather strong early in the Reporting Period, was, not surprisingly, dominated by the impact of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck on March 11, 2011 and subsequently crippled several nuclear reactors in the area. Following the news, the Japanese equity market initially plunged while the yen soared to record highs. However, the leading industrialized countries of the world successfully intervened in the currency market such that the yen then fell significantly. Japanese equities gained back some of the initial losses following the intervention and as the Japanese

MARKET REVIEW
government and utilities companies showed progress in getting the damaged nuclear reactors under control. Still, Japan’s utilities sector, albeit modest, sold off sharply as a result of the nuclear power scenario. Japan’s financials sector also significantly underperformed, as insurance companies were expected to face substantial claims and as the overall economic impact of the disasters, both natural and man-made, remained unknown. The Japanese equity market continued to lag in April 2011 following evidence that production suffered its biggest decline in March since records began to be kept in 1953 and that supply chains were heavily, albeit temporarily, disrupted. In addition, the Bank of Japan reduced its growth forecast for the nation’s fiscal year by a percentage point, to 0.6%, on weaker economic data, including an 8.5% drop in household spending by the Japanese.
Looking Ahead
In our view, multi-decade high corporate profits and cash levels for U.S. companies, dramatically improved European corporate balance sheets and strong global demand from the emerging markets—combined with low yields from cash and fixed income investments—bode well for supporting stock buybacks, higher dividends and continued merger and acquisition activity going forward. We were, at the end of April, particularly optimistic regarding corporate profits, which we believe will likely be predominantly driven by top-line growth rather than margin expansion.
Commodity price inflation has been rising globally, though to a lesser extent in the developed markets compared to the emerging markets. Our analysis leads us to believe that oil prices could spike over the near term depending on the magnitude of supply disruption from the Middle East. We emphasize, however, our belief that any such increase would be a spike rather than a sustained new price level, which would, in our view, have a very different impact on business and consumer demand, factors we weigh carefully as we contemplate investment decisions.
That said, as a result of inflationary pressures, we will continue to watch the increase in input costs. Our team maintains a preference for companies with the ability to pass on cost increases and thus maintain their profit margins. In our view, this ability to pass on cost increases will likely be one of the most important factors to monitor at the individual company level over the coming months, as we believe it may well increasingly determine the winners from the losers. We continue to seek companies with distinct competitive advantages, which often afford them the additional benefit of being able to pass through price increases to their customers. In addition, we believe that companies with strong balance sheets will be better able to absorb cost increases that can not entirely be passed on to customers. With corporate profit margins at or near peak levels at the end of the Reporting Period, we continue to be focused on seeking to determine which companies have the potential to sustain such margins. We are carefully watching current earnings results, company by company, for signs of rising commodity prices pushing up input costs faster than revenues being pulled up by strong global demand. In our view, fundamental analysis will be critical to determining which companies have the potential to perform well, even in a more challenging environment.
As always, we maintain our focus on seeking high-quality equity investments trading at compelling valuations and intend to stay true to our long-term discipline as we seek to navigate volatile markets ahead.

Concentrated International Equity Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the performance and positioning of the Goldman Sachs Concentrated International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 10.39%, 10.12%, 9.96%, 10.66%, 10.39% and 10.35%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.71% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net, unhedged) (the “MSCI Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund’s underperformance of the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were Sulzer, Safran and Aryzta. |
Swiss-based Sulzer specializes in the manufacturing of industrial machinery and equipment, surfacing technology and rotating equipment maintenance. In our view, two primary factors led to the company’s strong performance during the Reporting Period. First, we believe the acquisition of Cardo Solutions added value, given Cardo Solutions’ successful business and seemingly excellent compatibility with Sulzer. Second, Sulzer enjoyed increasing orders in the first quarter of 2011. Many analysts also believed Sulzer’s prospects for the remainder of 2011 were attractive given the late-cycle nature of its business structure.
Also within the industrials sector, French aerospace company Safran was one of the leading contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Safran’s shares rallied at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2010 when its management announced, sooner than had been expected, that it would not be making a bid to acquire fellow aerospace supplier Zodiac. Safran also benefited from an upswing in the spare parts cycle.
Swiss-based bakery company Aryzta, which also produces animal feed and fertilizer, performed well after revealing a strong recovery in organic growth in its fiscal half-year results. At the end of the Reporting Period, prospects for continued growth remained compelling to many, driven both by recovering demand for Aryzta’s products after the economic downturn and by synergies and international growth opportunities yet to be fully realized through acquisitions the company made in 2010.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were Japanese utilities company Tokyo Electric Power, Japanese electronics giant Sony and Sweden-based pharmaceutical company Swedish Orphan Biovitrum. |
Japan’s utilities sector overall detracted from the Fund’s results following the country’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. In particular, the Fund held a position in Tokyo Electric Power, the operator of the nuclear power plant that was negatively impacted by the powerful earthquake and tsunami. Concerns about the magnitude of the disaster combined with the company’s management of the crisis drove Tokyo Electric Power’s share price down sharply. Indeed, Tokyo Electric Power was the biggest individual stock detractor from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, and we eliminated the Fund’s position based on our outlook ahead for the company.
Sony underperformed due to generally weak global consumer electronic hardware sales as well as to damage from Japan’s earthquake to its device factories, located in the Tohoku region. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had an attractive valuation and was well positioned to maintain competitiveness in non-hardware segments. Thus, we held the position.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Shares of pharmaceuticals company Swedish Orphan Biovitrum experienced weakness as its fiscal year results fell short of expectations. News of potentially stricter drug trial rules in Europe also weighed negatively on the stock as policy changes could delay product launches. We held the position at the end of the Reporting Period, as we continued to believe that the company had an exciting pipeline of products, which should position it well for sustainable long-term growth.
| |
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI Index were consumer staples and financials, due primarily to effective stock selection in each. The Fund’s underweighted position in the financials sector, which lagged the MSCI Index, also contributed positively to Fund results. |
The biggest detractors from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were consumer discretionary, energy and materials, where stock selection in each of these sectors weighed negatively on performance.
| |
Q | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in a concentrated portfolio or in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI Index. |
That said, the Fund’s overall positioning in Switzerland, France and Spain contributed most positively to its returns relative to the MSCI Index. The countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Sweden, the Netherlands and Japan.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives to hedge positions or as part of an active management strategy, but we used index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to ensure the Fund remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We purchased several companies during the Reporting Period that we viewed as quality companies trading at attractive valuations. For example, we established a Fund position in Japanese import/export company Mitsui, as we anticipated strong earnings momentum for the company on the back of the increase in oil prices. In our view, the stock was attractively valued at the time of purchase, and we believed the earthquake in Japan had a relatively immaterial impact on its business. |
We also initiated a Fund position in Dutch transport company TNT. The company has a strong express parcel and letter network in Europe and was also early in seeding that segment of the company’s growth in China. During the Reporting Period, the company was in the process of splitting into two stand-alone companies, which we believe could lead to a revaluation of the two businesses over time. Though the company’s share price fell toward the end of the Reporting Period on the back of news that it missed its first quarter 2011 earnings, we continued to like the company.
We established a Fund position in Air Liquide, the world’s largest industrials gases company, based in France. The company primarily provides oxygen, nitrogen and argon, split from air, to energy and processing industries. Air Liquide is the leader in the global gases industry, with 23% market share, and a clear number one in the defensive on-site gases segment, with 41% market share. The company also enjoys strong pricing power and we believe is well positioned to drive earnings growth higher due to new projects in its pipeline.
In addition to the sale of Tokyo Electric Power mentioned earlier, we reduced the Fund’s position in U.K. mobile company Vodafone, as the stock neared its price target. We maintained a reduced position in the company, as we continued to like Vodafone. The company’s new Chief Executive Officer has been taking action to streamline its investments, a strategy which received positive reaction from the market during the Reporting Period.
Similarly, U.K. natural gas company BG Group had been a strong performer since we initiated the Fund position in September 2010. In order to capture profits given its strong performance and given our view that there was higher potential upside with other opportunities, we decided to exit the position.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
During the first quarter of 2011, Syngenta, a Swiss-based agricultural chemicals company, benefited from a combination of continued increases in soft commodity prices and analyst upgrades based on improving earnings outlooks for 2011 and 2012. To capture profits from this strong performance, we sold the Fund’s position in Syngenta by the end of the Reporting Period.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of our bottom-up stock selection process rather than any top-down macroeconomic views or industry bets. That said, during the Reporting Period, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s sector or country weightings during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
|
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands and less exposure to Germany, the U.K. and Japan relative to the MSCI Index. |
From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the MSCI Index in the energy sector at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI Index in financials, industrials, materials, telecommunication services and utilities sectors and rather neutral positions relative to the MSCI Index in consumer discretionary, information technology, health care and consumer staples.
As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect.

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, Service and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. The Fund’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). |

International Small Cap Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the performance and positioning of the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Fund (the “Fund”) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 17.81%, 17.38%, 17.41%, 18.06%, 17.75% and 17.98%, respectively. These returns compare to the 17.58% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Developed ex-US Small Cap Index (net) (the “S&P Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund’s strong performance compared to the S&P Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the S&P Index during the Reporting Period were Iluka Resources, Ingenico and S-Oil. |
Australia-based Iluka Resources is the world’s largest producer of zircon and high-grade titanium dioxide feedstocks, which are used in tiles, paints and construction. In our view, Iluka Resources’ share price benefited during the Reporting Period from high levels of demand in an industry where low mineral prices have historically depressed levels of investment and supply. A move to shorter-term pricing contracts allowed Iluka Resources to pass through prices increases, which we believe also contributed to its performance.
Ingenico is a France-based producer of financial transaction systems. The majority of Ingenico’s strong performance during the Reporting Period occurred in the weeks between March 21 and April 4 as driven by news that the company had agreed to buy Hypercom’s U.S. business. The acquisition, many analysts believed, would allow the company to gain scale in a market where it had a relatively weak presence. Unconfirmed press reports that the company had been selected by Google for a mobile payments project in the U.S. also boosted its shares during the same two-week period.
Another strong contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period was S-Oil, South Korea’s third largest oil refiner. Shares of S-Oil rallied on the back of gradually improving refining margins and on record high prices for para-xylene, a bi-product of the refining process used in the manufacture of polyester. We sold the Fund’s position in S-Oil during the Reporting Period to capture profits from its strong performance.

Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the S&P Index during the Reporting Period were Italian bank Banca Popolare di Milano, Australian integrated ferrochrome producer International Ferro Metals and U.K. auto parts and bicycle retailer Halfords. |
Banca Popolare di Milano was the greatest detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. In our view, the decision by the governor of the Bank of Italy to raise capital requirements for the Italian banking sector broadly was the primary driver of its share price weakness.
International Ferro Metals, a miner and producer of ferrochrome, which is a key ingredient used in making stainless steel, was another disappointment during the Reporting Period. In our view, the stock fell sharply in January 2011 as a result of a profit warning the company issued. Although there were a number of factors highlighted in the profit warning, we believe the primary concern was one based on production shortfalls due to equipment and input problems. We sold the Fund’s position in International Ferro Metals during the Reporting Period to pursue what we considered more attractive opportunities elsewhere.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
In our view, shares of Halfords detracted from the Fund’s performance due to a negative consumer environment in the U.K. Despite the company’s weakness, however, we continued to have conviction in the stock, as we believe the company has a resilient business model with strong margins and cash flow generation. Also, in February 2010, Halfords acquired Nationwide Autocentre, a car servicing company, which in our view, is a complementary acquisition that positions Halfords well for growth going forward.
| |
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Index were materials, industrials and energy, due primarily to effective stock selection in each. |
The biggest detractors from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period were financials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary, where stock selection hurt relative performance. The Fund’s underweighted allocation to financials actually contributed to performance, but such positioning was more than offset by the detracting effect of holding poorly-performing Italian bank Banca Popolare di Milano, discussed earlier.
| |
Q | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the S&P Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the S&P Index. |
That said, strong stock selection in the United Kingdom, South Korea and France contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Japan, Switzerland and Italy.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives to hedge positions or as part of an active management strategy, but we used index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to ensure the portfolio remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We purchased several companies during the Reporting Period that we viewed as quality companies trading at attractive valuations. For example, we established a Fund position South Korea-based chemicals company Foosung, which began operations as a refrigerant manufacturer and is expanding into the production of raw materials for rechargeable batteries. For information technology materials, we believe Foosung is an industry leader in quality and cost competitiveness and also benefits from having a captive client base. In our view, too, the company’s refrigerant manufacturing business is developing new ways to add value. |
We added Germany-based Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology, a leading player in vacuum pump technology, to the Fund during the Reporting Period. We purchased the company’s stock following the announcement of a transformative acquisition of Adixen, which was valued attractively in our view. We believe the acquisition, announced in early November 2010, doubled the size of the company’s revenues and provided a complementary product and geographic fit.
We initiated a Fund position in Hanwha Chemical, one of South Korea’s leading chemical companies with a significant exposure to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Hanwha Chemical has been expanding its business into renewable energy. Rising coal prices and frequent power outages have increased costs for Chinese coal-based PVC makers. In our view, this competitor cost increase may well benefit Hanwha Chemical’s earnings growth. In addition, we believe the regional outlook for the company’s products has improved with the restoration of demand in Japan and construction demand in China.
In addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in Swiss-based Geberit, whose products are centered around branded sanitary systems and pipes sold mainly into the building repair, maintenance and improvement market in Europe. We sold the stock due to what we considered a relatively high valuation, rising raw materials costs and foreign exchange headwinds.
U.K.-based Inchcape is an international distributor and retailer of automobiles. A sharp recovery in the auto industry fed directly into Inchcape’s revenues and profits—and therefore share price as well. We sold the Fund’s position in Inchcape because it reached our target price. Similarly, we sold the Fund’s position in Wood Group, a U.K-based international oil services company, because its stock had reached our target price.

Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Most sector and country weights are usually established within a narrow range from the S&P Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s sector or country weightings during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
|
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to the Netherlands, Italy and China and less exposure to Switzerland, Spain and France relative to the S&P Index. |
From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P Index in the materials, information technology and consumer staples sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P Index in industrials, financials and utilities and rather neutral positions relative to the S&P Index in consumer discretionary, energy, health care and telecommunication services.
As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect.

Strategic International Equity Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the performance and positioning of the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2011 (the “Reporting Period”).
| |
Q | How did 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 11.09%, 10.71%, 10.73%, 11.33%, 11.72% and 10.93%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.71% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net, unhedged) (the “MSCI Index”), during the same period. |
|
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The Fund’s underperformance of the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. |
|
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
|
A | The greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were Sulzer, AXA and Kabel Deutschland. |
Swiss-based Sulzer specializes in the manufacturing of industrial machinery and equipment, surfacing technology and rotating equipment maintenance. In our view, two primary factors led to the company’s strong performance during the Reporting Period. First, we believe the acquisition of Cardo Solutions added value, given Cardo Solutions’ successful business and seemingly excellent compatibility with Sulzer. Second, Sulzer enjoyed increasing orders in the first quarter of 2011. Many analysts also believed Sulzer’s prospects for the remainder of 2011 were attractive given the late-cycle nature of its business structure.
AXA, a France-based global insurance company, contributed positively to the Fund’s results, as its stock price was boosted by better than anticipated fiscal year 2010 results and a proposed increase in its dividend per share. We ultimately sold the Fund’s position in AXA by the end of the Reporting Period as the stock approached our price target.
Another strong contributor to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period was Kabel Deutschland, Germany’s largest cable operator. Its stock price increased on the back of strong results announced in February 2011, with revenue and earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) ahead of consensus. We believe these results were driven by strong numbers of additional subscribers to its premium TV services, which is consistent with our investment thesis and may be supportive of continued strong growth going forward.
| |
Q | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were Japanese utilities company Tokyo Electric Power, Sweden-based pharmaceutical company Swedish Orphan Biovitrum and Japanese electronics giant Sony. |
Japan’s utilities sector overall detracted from the Fund’s results following the country’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. In particular, the Fund held a position in Tokyo Electric Power, the operator of the nuclear power plant that was negatively impacted by the powerful earthquake and tsunami. Concerns about the magnitude of the disaster combined with the company’s management of the crisis drove Tokyo Electric Power’s share price down sharply. Indeed, Tokyo Electric Power was the biggest individual stock detractor from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, and we eliminated the Fund’s position based on our outlook ahead for the company.
Shares of pharmaceuticals company Swedish Orphan Biovitrum experienced weakness as its fiscal year results fell short of expectations. News of potentially stricter drug trial rules in Europe also weighed negatively on the stock as policy changes could delay product launches. We held the position at the end of the Reporting Period, as we continued to believe that the company had an exciting pipeline of products, which should position it well for sustainable long-term growth.
Sony underperformed due to generally weak global consumer electronic hardware sales as well as to damage from Japan’s earthquake to its device factories, located in the
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Tohoku region. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had an attractive valuation and was well positioned to maintain competitiveness in non-hardware segments. Thus, we held the position.
| |
Q | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI Index were industrials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary, due primarily to effective stock selection in each. The Fund’s underweighted position in the consumer staples sector, which lagged the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period, also contributed positively to the Fund’s results. |
The biggest detractors from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were materials, health care and utilities, where stock selection in each of these sectors weighed negatively on performance. The Fund’s underweighted allocation to utilities actually contributed to performance, but such positioning was more than offset by the detracting effect of holding poorly-performing Japanese electric utility company Tokyo Electric Power, discussed earlier.
| |
Q | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI Index. |
That said, based on effective individual stock selection, France, Switzerland and Indonesia contributed most positively to the Fund’s returns relative to the MSCI Index. The countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany.
| |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives to hedge positions or as part of an active management strategy, but we used index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to ensure the portfolio remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
|
Q | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | We purchased several companies during the Reporting Period that we viewed as quality companies trading at attractive valuations. For example, we established a Fund position in Sweden-based Ericsson, a company that develops and manufactures products primarily for mobile communication networks. We believe Ericsson may benefit as telecommunications operators look to drive revenue growth by increasing mobile data capacity. In our view, Ericsson’s services business will also benefit as more operators outsource aspects of their network operations. This trend, we believe, should help to improve Ericsson’s returns on capital, since the services business maintains low capital intensity compared to the networks business. In addition, we believe the company maintains a strong balance sheet with a significant market capitalization in cash. |
We initiated a Fund position in Halfords, a U.K. retailer focused on car maintenance, car enhancement, bicycles, and, following the February 2010 acquisition of Nationwide Autocentre, car servicing. Having underperformed much of the U.K. retail sector in 2010, we believed at the time of purchase that Halfords was one of the more attractively valued retailers despite having one of the best track records in lease-adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC) and consistent growth. We also liked the stock because we believe the company has a resilient business model with strong margins and cash flow generation.
Sulzer, mentioned earlier as one of the Fund’s top contributors, was a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. In our view, the Swiss-based industrials company’s high exposure to emerging markets and its focus on growing its high-margin service revenue stream positions it well going forward. We also believe Sulzer has a track record of value-adding acquisitions and has the capacity to complete further acquisitions of more than 1 billion Swiss francs while still maintaining a net cash position.
In addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in Kerry Group, an Ireland-based diversified food company, in order to capture profits following strong performance. We also believed there were more attractive opportunities within the consumer staples industry, including Seven & I Holdings and Gudang Garam. We established Fund positions in both of these companies during the Reporting Period.
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
We eliminated the Fund’s position in U.K. mobile company Vodafone, as the stock neared its price target. Similarly, U.K. natural gas company BG Group had been a strong performer since we initiated the Fund position in September 2010. In order to capture profits given the strong performance and given our view that there was higher potential upside with other opportunities, we decided to exit the position.
| |
Q | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
|
A | Most sector and country weights are usually established within a narrow range from the MSCI Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s sector or country weightings during the Reporting Period. |
|
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
|
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to Italy, Switzerland and Indonesia and less exposure to Germany, the United Kingdom and Sweden relative to the MSCI Index. On the same date, the Fund had rather neutral exposure to Israel and Australia compared to the MSCI Index. |
From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the MSCI Index in the consumer discretionary sector at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI Index in financials, materials, utilities, telecommunication services and industrials sectors and rather neutral positions relative to the MSCI Index in the health care, information technology, consumer staples and energy sectors.
As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect.

The above graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. Underlying industry sector allocations of exchange traded funds held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. Consequently, the Fund’s overall industry sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value.

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 certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the trustees consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the United States (“U.S.”) securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchanges. While the independent fair value service may not take into account market or security specific information, under the valuation procedures, these securities might also be fair valued by GSAMI by taking into consideration market or security specific information as discussed below.
Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange, the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges including, but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service cannot provide a quote are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. If accurate quotations are not readily available, or if GSAMI believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined based on yield equivalents, a pricing matrix or other sources, under valuation procedures established by the trustees. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on 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.
GSAMI, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the previous closing prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Funds’ NAV. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: situations relating to one or more single issuers in a market sector; significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions or market closings; equipment failures; natural or man-made disasters or acts of God; armed conflicts; government actions or other developments; as well as the same or similar events which may affect specific issuers or the securities markets even though not tied directly to the securities markets. Other significant events that could relate to a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; corporate announcements, including those relating to earnings, products and regulatory news; significant litigation; low trading volume; and trading limits or suspensions.
B. Security and Fund Share Transactions, and Investment Income — Security and Fund share transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date, which may cause the NAV as stated in the accompanying financial statements to be different than the NAV applied to Fund share transactions. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Funds, where applicable. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded when the Fund is informed of the dividend, if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. 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. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Funds, which may not specifically relate to the Funds, may be shared with other registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAMI or its affiliates, as appropriate. These expenses are allocated to the Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses 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.
D. Redemption Fees — Prior to October 1, 2010, all classes of the Funds charged a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. For this purpose, the Funds used a first-in first-out method so that shares held longest were treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest were treated as being redeemed last. Redemption fees were reimbursed to a Fund and were reflected as a reduction in share redemptions. Redemption fees were credited to Paid-in capital and were allocated to each share class of a Fund on a pro-rata basis at the time of payment. Effective October 1, 2010, the redemption fee for each Fund was eliminated.
E. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | |
F. 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 recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid 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.
G. Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investment valuations, foreign currency and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars based upon 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time exchange rates; and (ii) purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents: (i) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (ii) currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment security transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and (iii) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on securities and derivative instruments is included with the net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations, however, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on fixed income securities sold during the period is included with the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included as an increase or decrease to net change in unrealized gain (loss) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
H. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds deposit cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when a contract is closed or expires.
The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts may be illiquid, and exchanges may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices during a single day. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures, to cover their obligations under these contracts.

3. 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
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
| |
3. FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS (continued) | |
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 GSAMI’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives categorized in the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2011:

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES | |
The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to options, futures, swaps, swaptions and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments or commodities at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivatives also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument.

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 accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers, at the following annual rates calculated on a Fund’s average daily net assets of each respective share class:

C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, 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. During the six months ended April 30, 2011, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following approximate amounts:

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 organizations to provide 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 which is accrued 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 accrued 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.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) | |
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAMI 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 accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAMI for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Concentrated International Equity, International Small Cap and Strategic International Equity Funds are 0.104%, 0.064% and 0.164%, respectively. These Other Expense reimbursements will remain in place through at least February 28, 2012, and prior to such date GSAMI 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 of the Funds’ expenses.
For the six months ended April 30, 2011, these expense reductions, including Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows (in thousands):

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 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 GSAMI or its affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the facility, the Funds and other borrowers could increase the credit amount by an additional $340,000,000, for a total of up to $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 April 30, 2011, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2011, Goldman Sachs earned approximately $3,600, $9,200 and $1,100 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Concentrated International Equity, International Small Cap and Strategic International Equity Funds, respectively.
As of April 30, 2011, the Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio was the beneficial owner of approximately 56% of the total outstanding shares of the International Small Cap Fund.
As of April 30, 2011, the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 100% of the Class IR Shares of the Concentrated International Equity Fund, and approximately 72% and 30% of the Class IR and Class R Shares of the Strategic International Equity Fund, respectively.

Net unrealized security gain | | $ | 12,402,734 | | | $ | 19,090,322 | | | $ | 14,634,566 | |
|
|
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, and differences related to the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAMI has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
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.
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) | |
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.
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and foreign currency with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight or independent evaluation of their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters into bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are often undeveloped and may be less regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
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.
Issuer Concentration Risk — The Concentrated International Equity Fund intends to invest in a relatively small number of issuers. As a result, it may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers. A change in the value of any single investment held by the Fund may affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect a mutual fund that holds more investments. In particular, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer in the Fund and may be susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Liquidity Risk — The Funds may make investments that may be illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transaction defaults.
Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, be subject to government ownership controls, have delayed settlements and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAMI believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the balance sheet date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. GSAMI has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 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) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B, Class 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 November 1, 2010 through April 30, 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 ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | | Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 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: |

The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
