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 U.S. equity investments and invests, under normal circumstances, in approximately 30–40 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 sectors and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.
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 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. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
The Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments in small-, mid- and large-capitalization 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 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. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.
The Goldman Sachs Focused Growth Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments and invests, under normal circumstances, in approximately 20–25 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 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. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.
The Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments with a primary focus on mid-capitalization 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 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. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
The Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments with a primary focus on small- and mid-capitalization 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 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. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.
The Goldman Sachs Strategic 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 sectors and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.
The Goldman Sachs Technology Tollkeeper Fund 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 certain specific industries, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting those industries than if its investments were more diversified across different industries. Stock prices of internet and internet-related companies in particular may be especially volatile. 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. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.
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 sectors and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., “growth” and “value”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Growth Funds
Market Review
Overall, U.S. equities advanced for the six months ended February 28, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”) with broad sector participation. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a gain of 8.95%, and the Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 9.97%.
As the Reporting Period began in September 2012, U.S. equities were in the midst of a rally that had begun in the summer of 2012 following assurance of ongoing easing monetary policy from the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) and the European Central Bank. However, the U.S. equity market then pulled back in October 2012 on some cautious corporate earnings guidance and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. presidential election. Also pressuring the U.S. equity market was the worst storm in decades battering the East Coast.
The U.S. equity market subsequently regained momentum in November 2012, as election day largely preserved the status quo in the White House and Congress and economic data continued to show signs of improvement. More specifically, the U.S. reported better than expected third calendar quarter Gross Domestic Product growth of 2%, the 13th consecutive quarter of economic expansion, and the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8%, the lowest rate seen since January 2009. U.S. manufacturing activity increased, and the housing market showed further signs of improvement, as construction of new homes hit a four-year high. In December 2012, further clarification from the Fed, tying its low interest rate policy, in part, to the condition that unemployment drop to 6.5% or lower, helped to offset increasing worries about the then-looming fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts. Following weeks of tense negotiations and technically falling off the fiscal cliff for one day, the U.S. Congress finally reached an agreement averting the full force of tax increases that were scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2013. While spending cuts and other important fiscal issues were not truly addressed but merely postponed, the passage of The American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) of 2012 did resolve some lingering uncertainties.
The U.S. equity market rally picked up steam in the first two months of 2013, with the S&P 500 Index reaching a five-year high and then a new record level and the Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting the 14,000 milestone. Further strengthening in home prices and improving U.S. employment data lifted markets, despite the realization that no deal would be reached in Washington D.C. to avoid the sequester, or automatic spending cuts, scheduled by the federal government to go into effect on March 1, 2013.
For the Reporting Period overall, mid-cap companies performed best with small-cap companies close behind. While generating solid positive returns, large-cap stocks followed at some distance. Value stocks significantly outpaced growth stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by Russell Investments indices.) Within the S&P 500 Index, nine of ten sectors made gains during the Reporting Period. The consistent and persistent commitment to accommodative monetary policy from the U.S. Fed and other central banks throughout the Reporting Period drove market leading returns in the financials sector. On optimism about the economy and improved consumer confidence, the industrials, health care and consumer discretionary sectors also posted double-digit gains. The information technology sector was the only one to decline during the Reporting Period, largely due to some weaker than expected corporate earnings reports.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
With the U.S. equity market trading near all-time highs at the end of the Reporting Period, we continue to use our bottom-up, fundamental research process to drive our investment decisions for the Funds rather than sentiment or headlines. Even after a strong start to 2013, many of the reasons we began the Reporting Period constructive on U.S. equities still held true at the end of the Reporting Period. First, corporate balance sheets remained strong, which we believe provides companies with the ability to generate shareholder value, even in a slow-growth economic environment. Second, the S&P 500 Index was trading below its historical average price to earnings (P/E) ratio, while its dividend yield was greater than the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond. Third, continued strength in the U.S. housing recovery should, in our view, provide further support to the economy and boost confidence among consumers.
Of course, risks remain. Fiscal policy will likely be a drag on U.S. economic growth as 2013 progresses. Further, with the ultimate direction of fiscal policy still unclear, there is the potential for political headlines, in both the U.S. and overseas, to impact the U.S. equity market. We have long been cautious regarding companies that have a high degree of government dependency, whether it is related to sales, subsidies or regulations.
We believe companies with strong business franchises and competitive advantages may provide some degree of stability against an uncertain backdrop. 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 U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth 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 Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (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, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 7.17%, 6.79%, 6.74%, 7.38%, 7.14%, 7.31% and 7.02%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.23% 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 | | Stock selection overall contributed most to 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 information technology, financials and consumer staples sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was having underweighted positions in industrials and materials, each of which outperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, and weak stock selection in the energy 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 global commercial real estate services firm CBRE Group, biotechnology company Gilead Sciences and software giant Microsoft. |
| | CBRE Group contributed most to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose on the heels of announcing a solid fourth calendar quarter, during which earnings beat analysts’ expectations. In addition, CBRE Group published positive guidance for 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had strong growth potential, as it was gaining market share and continued to boost margins through international expansion. Additionally, in our view, the deal struck by CBRE Group to buy a majority of the real estate investment management business of Dutch financial company ING Group should be beneficial, as it provides relatively stable assets under management, recurring revenues and solid margins. |
| | Gilead Sciences was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. In our view, the company is a dominant player in the HIV and hepatitis C treatment areas, and indeed it was positive pipeline development in these areas that drove the company’s strong performance during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have high conviction in the company, as we believed it was well positioned within the biotechnology industry, holding significant market share in several niche areas. In our view, Gilead Sciences remained attractively valued at the end of the Reporting Period given its strong pipeline and dominant HIV franchise. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Microsoft was a strong contributor to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period despite the stock underperforming the Russell Index. As we had been reducing the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period and ultimately exited the position completely, the Fund’s underweighted allocation compared to the Russell Index contributed positively to relative results. During the Reporting Period, Microsoft announced disappointing fiscal first quarter results caused by slower than expected enterprise adoption of the Windows 8 operating system. Investors were also disappointed by the sudden departure of the head of the Windows division. This departure was unexpected, as he was viewed by many as a potential chief executive officer successor. We exited the Fund’s position in Microsoft prior to this announcement, based on our view of slower anticipated growth ahead and limited traction in the mobile computing industry. While Microsoft pays an attractive dividend and should continue to generate large amounts of free cash flow, we believe its flagship Windows product is maturing. We also see the changes being driven by mobile and cloud computing potentially leading to disruptions in the company’s markets. |
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 personal computer and mobile communications device giant Apple, point-of-sale card payment device manufacturer VeriFone Systems and retail electronic payments network operator Visa. |
| | A position in Apple detracted most from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Shares of Apple pulled back as concern persisted around disappointing first calendar quarter iPhone guidance. The iPhone accounts for approximately 60% of the company’s gross profits and remains the key driver of Apple’s growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a positive outlook on the company and saw a number of potential catalysts that could contribute to additional growth. We believe an iPhone that targets the emerging market consumer could reaccelerate growth and help expand the overall market for Apple products. We also believe the market is discounting the optionality in Apple’s stock from new product introductions. (Optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.) In addition, there is the possibility that Apple could sign a deal with China Mobile, the largest wireless carrier in China with approximately 700 million subscribers. Were this to be realized, this deal could significantly expand the addressable market for Apple’s iPhone. Even as near-term expectations are reduced, we believe the company’s long-term growth potential is still greater than the broader market. We believe Apple has plenty of financial flexibility with its strong balance sheet and healthy free cash flow to return capital to shareholders. Overall, then, we remain positive on Apple and believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, that its stock was trading at a reasonable valuation for a high quality franchise with solid growth potential. |
| | VeriFone Systems was another significant detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Its shares declined sharply following a revenue and earnings miss and a disappointing outlook for the fiscal first quarter of 2013. In our view, the results highlight the challenges the company is facing in migrating from a hardware business to a services business and demonstrate its management’s failure to integrate recent acquisitions. As a result, we exited the Fund’s position in VeriFone Systems by the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | Visa, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, was a relative detractor from results, given the Fund’s underweight position in this strongly performing stock. In October 2012, the company announced a new chief executive officer, named Charles Scharf, which we viewed as a positive. Visa also reported a solid fiscal first quarter driven by earnings and net revenue growth that exceeded analysts’ expectations. The company also extended its existing partnership with JPMorgan Chase for another ten years. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments 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 Activision Blizzard, a leading publisher of gaming software and content, during the Reporting Period. Activision Blizzard owns three of the largest franchises in the electronic gaming industry — Call of Duty and Skylanders on console and World of Warcraft on personal computer. World of Warcraft is offered through a monthly subscription model that provides a large and reliable stream of cash flow, which, in turn, can be used to invest for growth in newer intellectual properties. In our view, these newer properties, including Call of Duty and Skylanders, and upcoming new releases have margin structures that are higher than the corporate average, which should drive Activision Blizzard’s operating margins higher if the company grows over the next few years as anticipated. In addition, we believe the company’s valuations were attractive at the time of purchase. |
| | We established a Fund position in Allergan, a health care company focused on developing pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices and over-counter products. Continued strong growth in key franchises as well as regulatory successes drove the company’s share price appreciation during the Reporting Period. In our view, Allergan has stable growth franchises in ophthalmology and botox for therapeutic and cosmetic applications. Furthermore, we believe the company has a strong pipeline, include DARPins (designed ankyrin repeat proteins) for wet macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema, which could produce significant long-term growth opportunities. |
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of Microsoft, already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in specialty retailer Urban Outfitters during the Reporting Period. Shares of Urban Outfitters rose after the company announced strong results during a mid-quarter update during the fourth calendar quarter. While we still have conviction in the company, its story was becoming more understood by the market and thus the valuation gap narrowed in our view. Therefore, we exited the Fund’s 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 discretionary, consumer staples, industrials, financials, information technology and telecommunication services increased and its allocations to energy, health care and materials decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2013? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the Russell Index in the financials sector. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in information technology, consumer discretionary, telecommunication services, energy, health care and consumer staples and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2013. |

| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The Russell 1000 Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar year that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after the conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized 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). |
| | | The returns set forth in the tables above 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 applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. |

Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. The Fund typically holds 30–40 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. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth 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 Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (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 7.66%, 7.32%, 7.33%, 7.91%, 7.80% and 7.62%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.23% 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 | | Stock selection overall contributed most to 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 information technology, financials and consumer staples sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was weak stock selection in the health care and materials sectors and having underweighted positions in industrials and health care, each of which outperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
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 global commercial real estate services firm CBRE Group, gaming software and content publisher Activision Blizzard and apparel and footwear company PVH. |
| | CBRE Group contributed most to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose on the heels of announcing a solid fourth calendar quarter, during which earnings beat analysts’ expectations. In addition, CBRE Group published positive guidance for 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had strong growth potential, as it was gaining market share and continued to boost margins through international expansion. Additionally, in our view, the deal struck by CBRE Group to buy a majority of the real estate investment management business of Dutch financial company ING Group should be beneficial, as it provides relatively stable assets under management, recurring revenues and solid margins. |
| | Activision Blizzard, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, was a top contributor to its relative results. Activision Blizzard owns three of the largest franchises in the electronic gaming industry — Call of Duty and Skylanders on console and World of Warcraft on personal computer. World of Warcraft is offered through a monthly subscription model that provides a large and reliable stream of cash flow, which, in turn, can be used to invest for growth in newer intellectual properties. In our view, these newer properties, including Call of Duty and Skylanders, and |

| upcoming new releases have margin structures that are higher than the corporate average, which should drive Activision Blizzard’s operating margins higher if the company grows over the next few years as anticipated. In addition, we believe the company’s valuations were attractive at the time of purchase. During the Reporting Period, the company reported solid fourth calendar quarter results, driven by strong performance in key franchises. Its management announced its Skylanders franchise crossed the $1 billion revenue threshold following its launch in 2011, while its Call of Duty franchise grew year-over-year and saw increases in online engagement for Black Ops 2, particularly in December 2012. |
| | PVH is an apparel company whose portfolio of brands includes Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen and IZOD, amongst others. Its shares performed well during the Reporting Period after the company announced its strategic acquisition of rival Warnaco Group. Warnaco Group had licensed Calvin Klein’s jeans from PVH, which bought Calvin Klein’s company from the designer in 2003. Analysts, including ours, believe the deal should be substantially accretive to earnings per share upon completion, as it will give the company full control of the Calvin Klein brand and expand PVH’s presence in Europe, Asia and Latin America. PVH’s stock also performed well as both the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands continued to demonstrate high growth both in the U.S. and in international markets. |
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 personal computer and mobile communications device giant Apple, computer storage and data management company NetApp and generic drug manufacturer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. |
| | A position in Apple detracted most from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Shares of Apple pulled back as concern persisted around disappointing first calendar quarter iPhone guidance. The iPhone accounts for approximately 60% of the company’s gross profits and remains the key driver of Apple’s growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a positive outlook on the company and saw a number of potential catalysts that could contribute to additional growth. We believe an iPhone that targets the emerging market consumer could reaccelerate growth and help expand the overall market for Apple products. We also believe the market is discounting the optionality in Apple’s stock from new product introductions. (Optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.) In addition, there is the possibility that Apple could sign a deal with China Mobile, the largest wireless carrier in China with approximately 700 million subscribers. Were this to be realized, this deal could significantly expand the addressable market for Apple’s iPhone. Even as near-term expectations are reduced, we believe the company’s long-term growth potential is still greater than the broader market. We believe Apple has plenty of financial flexibility with its strong balance sheet and healthy free cash flow to return capital to shareholders. Overall, then, we remain positive on Apple and believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, that its stock was trading at a reasonable valuation for a high quality franchise with solid growth potential. |
| | NetApp was another significant detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period despite posting an in-line fiscal third quarter 2012 and giving positive guidance. We believe that fears of weak demand from the U.S. government were an overhang on the stock, as the government represents approximately 15% of NetApp’s revenues. However, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to like the business and thought its management was executing well. In our view, the combination of already low expectations and any real improvement in the demand environment should support the company’s growth. |
| | Teva Pharmaceutical Industries detracted from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. The company has a high concentration of profits in a single product, Copaxone. Concerns arose that a new pill from Biogen Idec and the threat of generics to Copaxone would challenge the firm’s profitability. However, we believe Teva Pharmaceutical Industries is competitively well positioned in the industry given its expansive global footprint and its ability to launch products earlier than other generics manufacturers. In our view, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries benefits from economies of scale and also produces about half of the active ingredients used in their products, enabling the company to keep costs low. We further believe the company’s strong free cash flow generation gives it financial flexibility. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments 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 | | In addition to the purchase of Activision Blizzard, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Intercontinental Exchange, an operator of regulated futures exchanges, over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and derivatives clearing houses. We believe the globalization of markets, rising demand for commodities, movement toward clearing and post-trade automation, and need for better risk management amidst an uncertain macro environment should drive Intercontinental Exchange’s growth going forward. |
| | Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in social networking website operator Facebook, as we came to believe its path to growth has been extended and is less certain. While the company delivered in-line second calendar quarter earnings on a strong increase in ad revenue, payments revenue growth was challenged and a large amount of insider selling, due to the expiration of the lock-up, caused material weakness in the stock. (Underwriters in Initial Public Offerings (“IPOs”) and insiders of the issuing company agree on lock-ups to prevent insiders from selling their stock within a given time window after the IPO. This time window normally amounts to 180 days. The lock-up agreement attempts to ensure the stability of the issuing company and to align insiders’ incentives with the goals of the company. After the expiration of the lock-up period, insiders are free to sell but potentially have to take into account insider regulation.) The Fund’s position in Facebook detracted from its relative returns during the Reporting Period. In our view, Facebook has achieved tremendous scale in the U.S. and has a large market opportunity as its networking effect creates stickiness, or loyalty, in its user, or customer, base. Though we continue to believe Facebook is well positioned to benefit from targeted advertising on its platform as a result of the information it has on its users as well as the potential to monetize new ad formats and the social networking ad medium over time, we sold the position. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in beauty products company Avon Products during the Reporting Period. Avon Products’ stock performed poorly, and thus detracted from the Fund’s results, due to the company’s difficulties executing and managing inventory in key markets. The company’s new chief executive officer, Sheri McCoy, made it clear that the organization she inherited was dysfunctional in a number of ways and communicated a frank assessment of the business as it stands today. She stated that she believes company fundamentals are unlikely to improve during the second half of 2013. While we continue to believe in the growth opportunity of Avon Products’ direct selling model and its research and development capabilities, we also believe improvements will likely require a lot of investment during a time when cost pressures in the business remain fairly significant. We are optimistic about the company’s new management team and its ability to improve past weakness. However, in our view, new products will need to work in order to reinvigorate top-line growth and create operating leverage. Given the variability in outcomes that we perceive and the headwinds the company is facing, we 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 information technology increased and its allocations to financials, energy, consumer staples, health care and industrials decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2013? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, information technology, energy and telecommunication services sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, health care, consumer staples, consumer discretionary and materials. The Fund had no position at all in the utilities sector on February 28, 2013. |

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

Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments in small-, mid- and large-capitalization issuers. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth 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 Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did 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 7.11%, 6.80%, 7.41%, 7.36% and 7.01%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.62% 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 | | Stock selection overall contributed most to 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 financials, information technology and consumer staples sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was weak stock selection in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors and having underweighted positions in industrials and health care, each of which outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
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 global commercial real estate services firm CBRE Group, software giant Microsoft and apparel and footwear company PVH. |
| | CBRE Group contributed most to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose on the heels of announcing a solid fourth calendar quarter, during which earnings beat analysts’ expectations. In addition, CBRE Group published positive guidance for 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had strong growth potential, as it was gaining market share and continued to boost margins through international expansion. Additionally, in our view, the deal struck by CBRE Group to buy a majority of the real estate investment management business of Dutch financial company ING Group should be beneficial, as it provides relatively stable assets under management, recurring revenues and solid margins. |
| | Microsoft was a strong contributor to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period despite the stock underperforming the Russell Index. As we had been reducing the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period and ultimately exited the position completely, the Fund’s underweighted allocation compared to the Russell Index contributed positively to relative results. During the Reporting Period, Microsoft announced disappointing fiscal first quarter results caused by slower than expected enterprise |

| adoption of the Windows 8 operating system. Investors were also disappointed by the sudden departure of the head of the Windows division. This departure was unexpected, as he was viewed by many as a potential chief executive officer successor. We exited the Fund’s position in Microsoft prior to this announcement, based on our view of slower anticipated growth ahead and limited traction in the mobile computing industry. While Microsoft pays an attractive dividend and should continue to generate large amounts of free cash flow, we believe its flagship Windows product is maturing. We also see the changes being driven by mobile and cloud computing potentially leading to disruptions in the company’s markets. |
| | PVH is an apparel company whose portfolio of brands includes Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen and IZOD, amongst others. Its shares performed well during the Reporting Period after the company announced its strategic acquisition of rival Warnaco Group. Warnaco Group had licensed Calvin Klein’s jeans from PVH, which bought Calvin Klein’s company from the designer in 2003. Analysts, including ours, believe the deal should be substantially accretive to earnings per share upon completion, as it will give the company full control of the Calvin Klein brand and expand PVH’s presence in Europe, Asia and Latin America. PVH’s stock also performed well as both the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands continued to demonstrate high growth both in the U.S. and in international markets. |
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 personal computer and mobile communications device giant Apple, point-of-sale card payment device manufacturer VeriFone Systems and information technology integrated systems company Micros Systems. |
| | A position in Apple detracted most from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Shares of Apple pulled back as concern persisted around disappointing first calendar quarter iPhone guidance. The iPhone accounts for approximately 60% of the company’s gross profits and remains the key driver of Apple’s growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a positive outlook on the company and saw a number of potential catalysts that could contribute to additional growth. We believe an iPhone that targets the emerging market consumer could reaccelerate growth and help expand the overall market for Apple products. We also believe the market is discounting the optionality in Apple’s stock from new product introductions. (Optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.) In addition, there is the possibility that Apple could sign a deal with China Mobile, the largest wireless carrier in China with approximately 700 million subscribers. Were this to be realized, this deal could significantly expand the addressable market for Apple’s iPhone. Even as near-term expectations are reduced, we believe the company’s long-term growth potential is still greater than the broader market. We believe Apple has plenty of financial flexibility with its strong balance sheet and healthy free cash flow to return capital to shareholders. Overall, then, we remain positive on Apple and believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, that its stock was trading at a reasonable valuation for a high quality franchise with solid growth potential. |
| | VeriFone Systems, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, was another significant detractor from the Fund’s relative results. Its shares declined sharply following a revenue and earnings miss and a disappointing outlook for the fiscal first quarter of 2013. In our view, the results highlight the challenges the company is facing in migrating from a hardware business to a services business and demonstrate its management’s failure to integrate recent acquisitions. As a result, we exited the Fund’s position in VeriFone Systems by the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | Micros Systems is a designer, manufacturer and servicer of enterprise information solutions. Its shares were weak during the Reporting Period as fiscal uncertainty affected the company’s underlying customer base of hospitality providers, retailers and restaurants. Despite the near-term weakness, the company maintained dominant market share with high margins at the end of the Reporting Period and, in our view, was well capitalized. The company also generated recurring revenue through the high-touch servicing it provides to clients. We believe Micros Systems operates a unique franchise that is well positioned for growth as the company appears to be increasing its customer base through new contracts with hotel chains and expanding its business globally. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments 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 established a Fund position in Philip Morris International during the Reporting Period. Philip Morris International produces, sells, distributes and markets a wide range of branded cigarettes and tobacco products. In our view, the company has a fundamentally attractive business with price inelasticity for its products and an industry structure that supports persistent pricing power. We believe the company has an attractive geographic profile, with approximately two-thirds of its volume and half of its revenues coming from emerging markets. In our view, Philip Morris International is led by a competent management team that has been successful in producing robust free cash flow and returns on invested capital while aggressively returning cash to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. |
| | We initiated a Fund position in Activision Blizzard, a leading publisher of gaming software and content, during the Reporting Period. Activision Blizzard owns three of the largest franchises in the electronic gaming industry — Call of Duty and Skylanders on console and World of Warcraft on personal computer. World of Warcraft is offered through a monthly subscription model that provides a large and reliable stream of cash flow, which, in turn, can be used to invest for growth in newer intellectual properties. In our view, these newer properties, including Call of Duty and Skylanders, and upcoming new releases have margin structures that are higher than the corporate average, which should drive Activision Blizzard’s operating margins higher if the company grows over the next few years as anticipated. In addition, we believe the company’s valuations were attractive at the time of purchase. |
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of Microsoft, already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in specialty retailer Urban Outfitters during the Reporting Period. Shares of Urban Outfitters rose after the company announced strong results during a mid-quarter update during the fourth calendar quarter. While we still have conviction in the company, its story was becoming more understood by the market and thus the valuation gap narrowed in our view. Therefore, we exited the Fund’s 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, health care and industrials increased and its allocations to financials, information technology, energy and consumer discretionary decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2013? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the Russell Index in the financials sector. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, consumer staples and health care and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in information technology, materials, telecommunication services, energy and consumer discretionary. The Fund had no position at all in the utilities sector on February 28, 2013. |

Goldman Sachs Focused Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth 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 Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Focused Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did 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 9.65%, 9.16%, 9.84%, 9.68% and 9.48%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.23% 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 | | Stock selection overall contributed most to 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 financials, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an overweighted exposure to the financials sector, which outpaced the Russell Index, also boosted the Fund’s relative results. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was having no exposure to the industrials and health care sectors, each of which outperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. To a lesser extent, weak stock selection in and having an underweighted allocation to the materials sector also hurt. |
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 global commercial real estate services firm CBRE Group, apparel and footwear company PVH and gaming software and content publisher Activision Blizzard. |
| | CBRE Group contributed most to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose on the heels of announcing a solid fourth calendar quarter, during which earnings beat analysts’ expectations. In addition, CBRE Group published positive guidance for 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had strong growth potential, as it was gaining market share and continued to boost margins through international expansion. Additionally, in our view, the deal struck by CBRE Group to buy a majority of the real estate investment management business of Dutch financial company ING Group should be beneficial, as it provides relatively stable assets under management, recurring revenues and solid margins. |
| | PVH is an apparel company whose portfolio of brands includes Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen and IZOD, amongst others. Its shares performed well during the Reporting Period after the company announced its strategic acquisition of rival Warnaco Group. Warnaco Group had licensed Calvin Klein’s jeans from PVH, which bought Calvin Klein’s company from the designer in 2003. Analysts, including ours, believe the deal should be substantially accretive to earnings per share upon completion, as it will give the company full control of the Calvin Klein brand and |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| expand PVH’s presence in Europe, Asia and Latin America. PVH’s stock also performed well as both the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands continued to demonstrate high growth both in the U.S. and in international markets. |
| | Activision Blizzard, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, was a top contributor to its relative results. Activision Blizzard owns three of the largest franchises in the electronic gaming industry — Call of Duty and Skylanders on console and World of Warcraft on personal computer. World of Warcraft is offered through a monthly subscription model that provides a large and reliable stream of cash flow, which, in turn, can be used to invest for growth in newer intellectual properties. In our view, these newer properties, including Call of Duty and Skylanders, and upcoming new releases have margin structures that are higher than the corporate average, which should drive Activision Blizzard’s operating margins higher if the company grows over the next few years as anticipated. In addition, we believe the company’s valuations were attractive at the time of purchase. During the Reporting Period, the company reported solid fourth calendar quarter results, driven by strong performance in key franchises. Its management announced its Skylanders franchise crossed the $1 billion revenue threshold following its launch in 2011, while its Call of Duty franchise grew year-over-year and saw increase in online engagement for Black Ops 2, particularly in December 2012. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The only positions to detract from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index during the Reporting Period were those in personal computer and mobile communications device giant Apple and diversified hospitality company Marriott International. |
| | A position in Apple detracted most from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Shares of Apple pulled back as concern persisted around disappointing first calendar quarter iPhone guidance. The iPhone accounts for approximately 60% of the company’s gross profits and remains the key driver of Apple’s growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a positive outlook on the company and saw a number of potential catalysts that could contribute to additional growth. We believe an iPhone that targets the emerging market consumer could reaccelerate growth and help expand the overall market for Apple products. We also believe the market is discounting the optionality in Apple’s stock from new product introductions. (Optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.) In addition, there is the possibility that Apple could sign a deal with China Mobile, the largest wireless carrier in China with approximately 700 million subscribers. Were this to be realized, this deal could significantly expand the addressable market for Apple’s iPhone. Even as near-term expectations are reduced, we believe the company’s long-term growth potential is still greater than the broader market. We believe Apple has plenty of financial flexibility with its strong balance sheet and healthy free cash flow to return capital to shareholders. Overall, then, we remain positive on Apple and believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, that its stock was trading at a reasonable valuation for a high quality franchise with solid growth potential. |
| | Shares of Marriott International performed weakly during the Reporting Period, detracting from the Fund’s relative results. Lodging is generally tied to Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), so broad concern around GDP slowing weighed on sentiment regarding the hospitality company. Marriott International’s revenue per available room decelerated throughout the Reporting Period, and there was concern of continued slowdown in this metric if GDP continues to slow. In our view, the company is well positioned relative to its peers, and, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believe the stock was trading at a reasonable valuation. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
25
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase of Activision Blizzard, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Intercontinental Exchange, an operator of regulated futures exchanges, over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets and derivatives clearing houses. We believe the globalization of markets, rising demand for commodities, movement toward clearing and post-trade automation, and need for better risk management amidst an uncertain macro environment should drive Intercontinental Exchange’s growth going forward. |
| | Conversely, we eliminated the Fund’s position in specialty retailer Urban Outfitters during the Reporting Period. Shares of Urban Outfitters rose after the company announced strong results during a mid-quarter update during the fourth calendar quarter. While we still have conviction in the company, its story was becoming more understood by the market and thus the valuation gap narrowed in our view. Therefore, we exited the Fund’s position. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in futures and options exchange CME Group. The company performed well in January 2013, as its stock bounced back from December 2012 lows. Average daily volumes improved during January 2013, particularly for interest rate products. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the market was starting to realize that CME Group may well benefit from the changing regulatory environment with the centralized clearing mandate requirement to begin in March 2013. However, we decided to sell out of the Fund’s position in favor of a position in Intercontinental Exchange, in which we had higher conviction. |
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 and its allocations to financials, energy, materials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2013? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, information technology, energy and telecommunication services sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, consumer discretionary and materials. The Fund had no position at all in the utilities, health care and industrials sectors on February 28, 2013. |

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 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (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, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.77%, 9.38%, 9.38%, 10.02%, 9.69%, 9.94% and 9.67%, respectively. These returns compare to the 11.23% 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 solid absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted from its performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s relative results was weak stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials and health care sectors. Having an underweight position in the industrials sector, which outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Effective stock selection in the information technology, financials, materials and telecommunication services sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. |
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 footwear and accessories designer Deckers Outdoor, information technology integrated systems company Micros Systems and personal care and food products company Hain Celestial Group. |
| | Deckers Outdoor was the biggest detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. The company’s earnings and guidance were disappointing during 2012, as it continued to battle headwinds from the impact of an unseasonably warm winter in 2011, which pressured the company’s inventory position and profitability. However, at the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the company’s inventory pressure to subside through the course of 2013. The stock had already recovered some of its losses in the early months of 2013, and its results for the fourth quarter of 2012 beat expectations. We continued to believe in the strength of the company’s Ugg brand and expected the company to show improved sales and margin expansion in 2013. |
| | Micros Systems is a designer, manufacturer and servicer of enterprise information solutions. Its shares were weak during the Reporting Period as fiscal uncertainty affected the company’s underlying customer base of hospitality providers, retailers and restaurants. Despite the near-term weakness, the company maintained dominant market share with high margins at the end of the Reporting Period and, in our view, was well capitalized. The company also generated |
30
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| recurring revenue through the high-touch servicing it provides to clients. We believe Micros Systems operates a unique franchise that is well positioned for growth as the company appears to be increasing its customer base through new contracts with hotel chains and expanding its business globally. |
| | Hain Celestial Group manufactures, markets, distributes and sells natural and organic products. The company re-affirmed weak guidance in mid-October 2012 when it was expected to raise guidance instead. Uncertainty also arose after a change in its management team early in the fourth calendar quarter. Hain Celestial Group also announced the closing of the acquisition of BluePrint, a nationally recognized brand in the raw juice category based in New York City. Hain Celestial Group’s shares traded lower, as investors questioned the difficulty of the integration. We added to the Fund’s position in the company on weakness, as we continued to believe Hain Celestial Group is a diversified way to capitalize on the trends of healthier eating, increased fitness and an aging population. In our view, the company has remained focused on improving margins, and we view its acquisition strategy positively. |
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 specialty commercial financial services company FleetCor Technologies, global commercial real estate services firm CBRE Group and apparel and footwear company PVH. |
| | FleetCor Technologies, an independent global provider of specialized payment products and services, was the top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. FleetCor Technologies’ stock performed well, as the company has successfully integrated accretive acquisitions and consistently beat and raised earnings estimates. While we still like the company and its growth prospects, we trimmed the Fund’s position in FleetCor Technologies’ stock to take profits and reflect its increased valuation. |
| | CBRE Group contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose on the heels of announcing a solid fourth calendar quarter, during which earnings beat analysts’ expectations. In addition, CBRE Group published positive guidance for 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had strong growth potential, as it was gaining market share and continued to boost margins through international expansion. Additionally, in our view, the deal struck by CBRE Group to buy a majority of the real estate investment management business of Dutch financial company ING Group should be beneficial, as it provides relatively stable assets under management, recurring revenues and solid margins. |
| | PVH is an apparel company whose portfolio of brands includes Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen and IZOD, amongst others. Its shares performed well during the Reporting Period after the company announced its strategic acquisition of rival Warnaco Group. Warnaco Group had licensed Calvin Klein’s jeans from PVH, which bought Calvin Klein’s company from the designer in 2003. Analysts, including ours, believe the deal should be substantially accretive to earnings per share upon completion, as it will give the company full control of the Calvin Klein brand and expand PVH’s presence in Europe, Asia and Latin America. PVH’s stock also performed well as both the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands continued to demonstrate high growth both in the U.S. and in international markets. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
31
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in Activision Blizzard, a leading publisher of gaming software and content, during the Reporting Period. Activision Blizzard owns three of the largest franchises in the electronic gaming industry — Call of Duty and Skylanders on console and World of Warcraft on personal computer. World of Warcraft is offered through a monthly subscription model that provides a large and reliable stream of cash flow, which, in turn, can be used to invest for growth in newer intellectual properties. In our view, these newer properties, including Call of Duty and Skylanders, and upcoming new releases have margin structures that are higher than the corporate average, which should drive Activision Blizzard’s operating margins higher if the company grows over the next few years as anticipated. In addition, we believe the company’s valuations were attractive at the time of purchase. |
| | We established a Fund position in discount retailer Dollar General. The company is a leader in the dollar stores retailing segment, a segment that has been a relatively consistent, long-term share gainer within the broader U.S. retailing industry over the past several years. We believe the company should deliver sales growth going forward supported by square footage growth from new stores. Moreover, we believe initiatives including direct sourcing, private brands and reduced inventory shrinkage should lower costs and thereby drive margin expansion. (Inventory shrinkage is material or goods lost through deterioration, obsolescence, pilferage, theft and/or waste.) We have confidence in the company management’s ability to take advantage of existing growth opportunities and to continue to gain market share in a growing industry. |
| | Conversely, we eliminated the Fund’s position in specialty retailer Urban Outfitters during the Reporting Period. Shares of Urban Outfitters rose after the company announced strong results during a mid-quarter update during the fourth calendar quarter. While we still have conviction in the company, its story was becoming more understood by the market and thus the valuation gap narrowed in our view. Therefore, we exited the Fund’s position. |
| | We exited the Fund’s position in Family Dollar Stores. While we like the retail market segment, we lost confidence in the turnaround story of Family Dollar Stores, in particular with its key strategic initiatives regarding the sale of tobacco products. We decided to sell out of the Fund’s position and to initiate a position in Dollar General instead, a similar company but one that we believe should provide more consistent growth. |
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, financials, consumer staples and health care increased and its allocations to telecommunication services, energy, industrials and consumer discretionary decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2013? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, telecommunication services, information technology and health care sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in energy and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2013. |

| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The Russell Midcap Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) is an unmanaged market capitalization weighted index that measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.

| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar year that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after the conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized 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). |
| | | The returns set forth in the tables above 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 applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. 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 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 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 Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (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, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 12.57%, 12.12%, 12.13%, 12.80%, 12.52%, 12.73% and 12.38%, respectively. These returns compare to the 11.98% 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 | | Stock selection overall contributed most to 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 financials, information technology and health care sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results was weak stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials, energy and consumer staples sectors. Having an underweighted allocation to the industrials sector, which outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. |
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 independent investment banking boutique Evercore Partners, specialty commercial financial services company FleetCor Technologies and global commercial real estate services firm CBRE Group. |
| | A position in Evercore Partners contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. The company’s shares performed well as merger and acquisition activity started to improve and a higher percentage of announced deals closed or were anticipated to close. We believe this is a trend that will continue and that Evercore Partners is well positioned to benefit. In our view, a key competitive advantage is the company’s management team, led by former deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman as its chairman and co-founder of BlackRock Ralph Schlosstein as its chief executive officer. |
| | FleetCor Technologies, an independent global provider of specialized payment products and services, was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. FleetCor Technologies’ stock performed well, as the company has successfully integrated accretive acquisitions and consistently beat and raised earnings estimates. While we still like the company and its growth prospects, we trimmed the Fund’s position in FleetCor Technologies’ stock to take profits and reflect its increased valuation. |
36
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | CBRE Group contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose on the heels of announcing a solid fourth calendar quarter, during which earnings beat analysts’ expectations. In addition, CBRE Group published positive guidance for 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had strong growth potential, as it was gaining market share and continued to boost margins through international expansion. Additionally, in our view, the deal struck by CBRE Group to buy a majority of the real estate investment management business of Dutch financial company ING Group should be beneficial, as it provides relatively stable assets under management, recurring revenues and solid margins. |
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 footwear and accessories designer Deckers Outdoor, personal care and food products company Hain Celestial Group and specialty pet supplies and services group PetSmart. |
| | Deckers Outdoor was the biggest detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. The company’s earnings and guidance were disappointing during 2012, as it continued to battle headwinds from the impact of an unseasonably warm winter in 2011, which pressured the company’s inventory position and profitability. However, at the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the company’s inventory pressure to subside through the course of 2013. The stock had already recovered some of its losses in the early months of 2013, and its results for the fourth quarter of 2012 beat expectations. We continued to believe in the strength of the company’s Ugg brand and expected the company to show improved sales and margin expansion in 2013. |
| | Hain Celestial Group manufactures, markets, distributes and sells natural and organic products. The company re-affirmed weak guidance in mid-October 2012 when it was expected to raise guidance instead. Uncertainty also arose after a change in its management team early in the fourth calendar quarter. Hain Celestial Group also announced the closing of the acquisition of BluePrint, a nationally recognized brand in the raw juice category based in New York City. Hain Celestial Group’s shares traded lower, as investors questioned the difficulty of the integration. We added to the Fund’s position in the company on weakness, as we continued to believe Hain Celestial Group is a diversified way to capitalize on the trends of healthier eating, increased fitness and an aging population. In our view, the company has remained focused on improving margins, and we view its acquisition strategy positively. |
| | A position in PetSmart detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. In our view, there were two primary issues that impacted PetSmart’s stock — concerns over the turnover in its management, as both its chief executive officer and chief financial officer are leaving the company over the next year, and concerns that the Internet will become a growing threat to its business. However, we added to the Fund’s position in the company on weakness, as we remained confident in its business growth prospects and think the management turnover is a long-planned transition that should not negatively impact the business. While we are wary of the impact of online retail on all traditional retailers, we think PetSmart is relatively well positioned given that it remains largely uneconomical to ship pet food to consumers. Traffic trends at PetSmart stores remained positive during the Reporting Period, which, in our view, is the best indicator consumers continue to prefer to shop for pet supplies in stores rather than online. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments 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 | | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in ExactTarget, a cross-channel interactive marketing company that earns the vast majority of its revenue from email marketing. In our view, ExactTarget has an attractive recurring revenue profile, has grown revenues sequentially every quarter since its inception, and is poised to benefit from growth in international markets and new product categories. As chief marketing officers broadly gain control over an increasing share of information technology budgets, we believe ExactTarget’s differentiated platform positions the company well for years of strong growth and a corresponding increase in the company’s asset value. |
37
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | We established a Fund position in biopharmaceutical company Achillion Pharmaceuticals, which is predominantly focused on producing drugs for patients with hepatitis C. We believe the company currently has two best-in-class drugs for this disease and that there is a potential $15 billion market opportunity. In our view, even if Achillion Pharmaceuticals only takes a small portion of total market share, it justifies a premium to the price of Achillion Pharmaceuticals’ shares at the time of our purchase. |
| | Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in Robbins & Myers, a leading supplier of engineered equipment and systems for critical applications in global energy, industrial, chemical and pharmaceutical markets. During the third quarter of 2012, Robbins & Myers announced it was being acquired by oilfield machinery and equipment company National Oilwell Varco. In our view, the acquisition validated our fundamental investment thesis and valuation analysis of Robbins & Myers, which was trading at a discount to our assessment of the company’s intrinsic value. We were encouraged by the stock’s strong performance following the announcement, so we decided to take profits and reallocate capital into opportunities with what we considered to have more attractive risk-reward profiles. |
| | We exited the Fund’s position in consumer and commercial product producer Newell Rubbermaid. We decided to reallocate capital into opportunities with what we believed to have more favorable risk-reward profiles, as we believe Newell Rubbermaid’s valuations reflected, at the time of our sale, confidence in the business’ turnaround and were trading at the higher end of long-term averages. |
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, information technology, health care and consumer staples increased and its allocation to materials, telecommunication services, industrials and consumer discretionary decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2013? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the telecommunication services, energy and health care sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in financials, information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2013. |

Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. The Fund is more selective and focused than many mutual funds and there are typically 50 to 70 holdings in the portfolio. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth 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 Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (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, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 7.45%, 7.03%, 6.92%, 7.64%, 7.27%, 7.48% and 7.27%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.23% 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 | | Stock selection overall contributed most to 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 information technology, financials and consumer staples sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an overweighted allocation to financials, which outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also helped. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was having an underweighted exposure to the industrials sector, which outperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, and weak stock selection in the health care 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 global commercial real estate services firm CBRE Group, biotechnology company Gilead Sciences and apparel and footwear company PVH. |
| CBRE Group contributed most to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose on the heels of announcing a solid fourth calendar quarter, during which earnings beat analysts’ expectations. In addition, CBRE Group published positive guidance for 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company still had strong growth potential, as it was gaining market share and continued to boost margins through international expansion. Additionally, in our view, the deal struck by CBRE Group to buy a majority of the real estate investment management business of Dutch financial company ING Group should be beneficial, as it provides relatively stable assets under management, recurring revenues and solid margins. |
| Gilead Sciences was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. In our view, the company is a dominant player in the HIV and hepatitis C treatment areas, and indeed it was positive pipeline development in these areas that drove the company’s strong performance during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have high conviction in the company, as we believed it was well positioned within the biotechnology industry, holding significant market share in several niche areas. In our view, Gilead Sciences remained |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| attractively valued at the end of the Reporting Period given its strong pipeline and dominant HIV franchise. |
| PVH is an apparel company whose portfolio of brands includes Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen and IZOD, amongst others. Its shares performed well during the Reporting Period after the company announced its strategic acquisition of rival Warnaco Group. Warnaco Group had licensed Calvin Klein’s jeans from PVH, which bought Calvin Klein’s company from the designer in 2003. Analysts, including ours, believe the deal should be substantially accretive to earnings per share upon completion, as it will give the company full control of the Calvin Klein brand and expand PVH’s presence in Europe, Asia and Latin America. PVH’s stock also performed well as both the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands continued to demonstrate high growth both in the U.S. and in international markets. |
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 personal computer and mobile communications device giant Apple, medical device company St. Jude Medical and discount retailer Dollar General. |
| A position in Apple detracted most from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Shares of Apple pulled back as concern persisted around disappointing first calendar quarter iPhone guidance. The iPhone accounts for approximately 60% of the company’s gross profits and remains the key driver of Apple’s growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a positive outlook on the company and saw a number of potential catalysts that could contribute to additional growth. We believe an iPhone that targets the emerging market consumer could reaccelerate growth and help expand the overall market for Apple products. We also believe the market is discounting the optionality in Apple’s stock from new product introductions. (Optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.) In addition, there is the possibility that Apple could sign a deal with China Mobile, the largest wireless carrier in China with approximately 700 million subscribers. Were this to be realized, this deal could significantly expand the addressable market for Apple’s iPhone. Even as near-term expectations are reduced, we believe the company’s long-term growth potential is still greater than the broader market. We believe Apple has plenty of financial flexibility with its strong balance sheet and healthy free cash flow to return capital to shareholders. Overall, then, we remain positive on Apple and believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, that its stock was trading at a reasonable valuation for a high quality franchise with solid growth potential. |
| St. Jude Medical detracted from the Fund’s relative performance, as reports of safety and quality issues continued to weigh on the company and as such reports led to concerns about the possibility of market share loss. In addition, St. Jude Medical experienced pricing pressure combined with weak volume growth. We decided to sell out of the Fund’s position in St. Jude Medical by the end of the Reporting Period in favor of what we considered to be more attractive investment opportunities. |
| The Fund’s position in Dollar General detracted from its relative results. Despite reporting a decent third calendar quarter, Dollar General’s shares traded down as the company discussed heightened competition and looming consumer weakness as a result of ending payroll tax cuts. Even with these near-term setbacks, we added to the Fund’s position on weakness during the Reporting Period because we believe the company should deliver sales growth going forward supported by square footage growth from new stores. Moreover, we believe initiatives including direct sourcing, private brands and reduced inventory shrinkage should lower costs and thereby drive margin expansion. (Inventory shrinkage is material or goods lost through deterioration, obsolescence, pilferage, theft and/or waste.) We have confidence in the company management’s ability to take advantage of existing growth opportunities and to continue to gain market share in a growing industry. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments 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 Activision Blizzard, a leading publisher of gaming software and content, during the Reporting Period. Activision Blizzard owns three of the largest franchises in the electronic gaming industry — Call of Duty and Skylanders on console and World of Warcraft on personal computer. World of Warcraft is offered through a monthly subscription model that provides a large and reliable stream of cash flow, which, in turn, can be used to invest for growth in newer intellectual properties. In our view, these newer properties, including Call of Duty and Skylanders, and upcoming new releases have margin structures that are higher than the corporate average, which should drive Activision Blizzard’s operating margins higher if the company grows over the next few years as anticipated. In addition, we believe the company’s valuations were attractive at the time of purchase. |
| We established a Fund position in aerospace and defense company Boeing. We believe the important growth drivers for Boeing are likely to come from increasing the production rate and deliveries of its 787 program and the successful development of its new 737 MAX. We believe cash flows may well improve substantially as the new planes are delivered. We are particularly optimistic regarding the outlook for the 787, as headlines appear to be moving away from the production issues that delayed its initial launch. Boeing also maintains a multi-year head start on competitor Airbus’ next generation plane, the A350, an important lead in a duopolistic industry. |
| Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in software giant Microsoft. During the Reporting Period, Microsoft announced disappointing fiscal first quarter results caused by slower than expected enterprise adoption of the Windows 8 operating system. Investors were also disappointed by the sudden departure of the head of the Windows division. This departure was unexpected, as he was viewed by many as a potential chief executive officer successor. We exited the Fund’s position in Microsoft prior to this announcement, based on our view of slower anticipated growth ahead and limited traction in the mobile computing industry. While Microsoft pays an attractive dividend and should continue to generate large amounts of free cash flow, we believe its flagship Windows product is maturing. We also see the changes being driven by mobile and cloud computing potentially leading to disruptions in the company’s markets. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in specialty retailer Urban Outfitters during the Reporting Period. Shares of Urban Outfitters rose after the company announced strong results during a mid-quarter update during the fourth calendar quarter. While we still have conviction in the company, its story was becoming more understood by the market and thus the valuation gap narrowed in our view. Therefore, we exited the Fund’s 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 financials, information technology and industrials increased and its allocations to energy and health care decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2013? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials and information technology sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, consumer staples and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, telecommunication services, energy and health care and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2013. |

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

Goldman Sachs Technology Tollkeeper Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund 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). The Goldman Sachs Growth Investment 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 Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Technology Tollkeeper Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (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 3.60%, 3.24%, 3.24%, 3.84%, 3.56% and 3.78%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.04% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the NASDAQ Composite Index (the “NASDAQ 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 NASDAQ Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | As both the Fund and the NASDAQ Index have the majority of their respective assets allocated to the information technology sector and our Team’s focus is on picking stocks that fit our definition of a Technology Tollkeeper company, broad equity market sector performance generally does not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. That said, effective stock selection in the information technology and telecommunication services sectors helped the Fund’s performance. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results was weak stock selection in and having an underweighted allocation to the consumer discretionary sector, which outpaced the NASDAQ Index during the Reporting Period. Having no positions in health care or industrials, each of which outpaced the NASDAQ Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. |
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 social networking website operator Facebook, gaming software and content publisher Activision Blizzard and data center services company InterXion Holding. |
| Facebook was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period, as the company demonstrated significant progress in monetizing its mobile-related operations during its third fiscal quarter. Also, selling pressure from the expiration of insider lock-ups failed to materialize, alleviating investor fears and removing one of the primary overhangs on the stock. (Underwriters in Initial Public Offerings (“IPOs”) and insiders of the issuing company agree on lock-ups to prevent insiders from selling their stock within a given time window after the IPO. This time window normally amounts to 180 days. The lock-up agreement attempts to ensure the stability of the issuing company and to align insiders’ incentives with the goals of the company. After the expiration of the lock-up period, insiders are free to sell but potentially have to take into account insider regulation.) In our view, Facebook has achieved tremendous scale in the U.S. and has a large market opportunity as its networking effect creates stickiness, or loyalty, in its user, or customer, base. While we trimmed |
48
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| the Fund’s position in Facebook, taking some profits, we maintained the holding, as we continue to believe Facebook is well positioned to benefit from targeted advertising on its platform as a result of the information it has on its users as well as the potential to monetize new ad formats and the social networking ad medium over time. The company is in the very early stages of development, and with attractive long-term growth opportunities and a strong competitive position, we believe patient investors should be rewarded over time, despite the rocky start Facebook has had as a public company. |
| Activision Blizzard, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, was a top contributor to its relative results. Activision Blizzard owns three of the largest franchises in the electronic gaming industry — Call of Duty and Skylanders on console and World of Warcraft on personal computer. World of Warcraft is offered through a monthly subscription model that provides a large and reliable stream of cash flow, which, in turn, can be used to invest for growth in newer intellectual properties. In our view, these newer properties, including Call of Duty and Skylanders, and upcoming new releases have margin structures that are higher than the corporate average, which should drive Activision Blizzard’s operating margins higher if the company grows over the next few years as anticipated. In addition, we believe the company’s valuations were attractive at the time of purchase. During the Reporting Period, the company reported solid fourth calendar quarter results, driven by strong performance key franchises. Its management announced its Skylanders franchise crossed the $1 billion revenue threshold following its launch in 2011, while its Call of Duty franchise grew year-over-year and saw increase in online engagement for Black Ops 2, particularly in December 2012. |
| A position in InterXion Holding, a provider of carrier-neutral collocation data center services throughout Europe, contributed to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The company reported strong fourth calendar quarter results and provided strong guidance for the first quarter of 2013. The company’s data centers act as content and connectivity hubs that facilitate the processing, storage, sharing and distribution of data, content, applications and media among carriers and customers. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company should continue to benefit from a number of key long-term secular growth drivers, including cloud computing, mobile data and video. |
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 point-of-sale card payment device manufacturer VeriFone Systems, information technology integrated systems company Micros Systems and computer memory device manufacturer EMC. |
| VeriFone Systems detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Its shares declined sharply following a revenue and earnings miss and a disappointing outlook for the fiscal first quarter of 2013. In our view, the results highlight the challenges the company is facing in migrating from a hardware business to a services business and demonstrate its management’s failure to integrate recent acquisitions. As a result, we exited the Fund’s position in VeriFone Systems by the end of the Reporting Period. |
| Micros Systems is a designer, manufacturer and servicer of enterprise information solutions. Its shares were weak during the Reporting Period as fiscal uncertainty affected the company’s underlying customer base of hospitality providers, retailers and restaurants. Despite the near-term weakness, the company maintained dominant market share with high margins at the end of the Reporting Period and, in our view, was well capitalized. The company also generated recurring revenue through the high-touch servicing it provides to clients. We believe Micros Systems operates a unique franchise that is well positioned for growth as the company appears to be increasing its customer base through new contracts with hotel chains and expanding its business globally. |
| Shares of EMC declined during the Reporting Period, primarily due to less than anticipated earnings. Such earnings weakness was attributable to investor concerns that the company lost market share and to a sluggish macro and potentially weak spending environment in 2013. EMC was also negatively impacted in January 2013 by disappointing quarterly results and guidance from VMware, in which EMC holds an approximately 80% stake. We trimmed the Fund’s position in EMC during the Reporting Period but maintained the holding. EMC’s high-end and mid-tier storage products continued to record consistent growth and were gaining market share. Also, we believe that concerns over the |
49
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| company’s data storage business stem from the macro environment late in 2012 and that such concerns were overblown. At the end of the Reporting Period, we did not see any company specific issues. While governments’ technology budgets may be tightened in 2013, the company’s management expected strong global information technology spending by corporations to offset any weakness. Long-term, we also believe the outlook is favorable for information storage and virtualization. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed EMC had a strong balance sheet and was trading below its average price to earnings ratio of recent years. As an industry leader in information storage, we found shares of the company to be attractively valued. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments 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 | | In addition to the purchase of Activision Blizzard, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in ExactTarget, a cross-channel interactive marketing company that earns the vast majority of its revenue from email marketing, during the Reporting Period. In our view, ExactTarget has an attractive recurring revenue profile, has grown revenues sequentially every quarter since its inception, and is poised to benefit from growth in international markets and new product categories. As chief marketing officers broadly gain control over an increasing share of information technology budgets, we believe ExactTarget’s differentiated platform positions the company well for years of strong growth and a corresponding increase in the company’s asset value. |
| In addition to the sale of VeriFone Systems, mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in software giant Microsoft. During the Reporting Period, Microsoft announced disappointing fiscal first quarter results caused by slower than expected enterprise adoption of the Windows 8 operating system. Investors were also disappointed by the sudden departure of the head of the Windows division. This departure was unexpected, as he was viewed by many as a potential chief executive officer successor. We exited the Fund’s position in Microsoft prior to this announcement, based on our view of slower anticipated growth ahead and limited traction in the mobile computing industry. While Microsoft pays an attractive dividend and should continue to generate large amounts of free cash flow, we believe its flagship Windows product is maturing. We also see the changes being driven by mobile and cloud computing potentially leading to disruptions in the company’s markets. |
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 and telecommunication services increased and its allocation to consumer discretionary decreased relative to the NASDAQ Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2013? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund’s most significant overweighting relative to the NASDAQ Index continued to be in the information technology sector. The Fund also had an overweighted position relative to the NASDAQ Index, albeit more modest, in telecommunication services. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the NASDAQ Index in consumer discretionary and financials. The Fund had no exposure to the consumer staples, energy, health care, materials, industrials and utilities sectors on February 28, 2013. |

Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in large-capitalization U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Investment Team and the Goldman Sachs Value Investment Team have focused on several key investment criteria that they believe 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 Teams strive 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 Investment Team and the Goldman Sachs Value Investment Team discuss the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did 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 9.59%, 9.23%, 9.86%, 9.77% and 9.55%, respectively. These returns compare to the 8.95% 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 financials, information technology and telecommunication services sectors helped the Fund’s relative results most. The only two sectors to detract from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index were energy and consumer discretionary, both attributable to weak stock selection. |
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 diversified banking institutions JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America and in home improvement and buildings products manufacturer and installer Masco. |
| In the financials sector, the Fund’s holding in JPMorgan Chase contributed positively to performance during the Reporting Period. Its stock improved as concerns surrounding the company’s multi-billion trading loss and other litigation risks subsided and as the company reported better than expected third calendar quarter results. In addition, the company’s management discussed returning value to shareholders and assured investors the company was on track to meet Basel III capital requirements. (Basel III is a global regulatory standard relating to banks’ capital adequacy and liquidity.) By the end of the Reporting Period, we had trimmed the Fund’s position in JPMorgan Chase, taking profits, but maintained the holding, as we continued to have conviction in JPMorgan Chase’s management team and believed the company would benefit from what we considered to be its strong balance sheet, resilient business model and robust capital generating franchises. |
| A position in Bank of America also contributed strongly to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, posting one of the largest gains in the S&P 500 Index during the fourth quarter of 2012. The company made progress on legacy, or long-standing, issues, particularly relating to its mortgage business, and recent settlements reduced litigation risks. Bank of America also increased its capital adequacy ratios over the past few years, which should allow, we believe, the company to invest more capital back into its businesses as the need to build additional reserves decreases. On the expense side, |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Bank of America lowered its funding costs and closed less profitable banking centers. Should its management continue to take steps to reduce expenses as anticipated, we believe additional cost savings could benefit the company’s earnings over the coming years. We believe earnings improvement seen in 2012 may well continue in 2013, and we believe the company should also benefit from its high exposure to the improving housing market. Due to its strong performance, we trimmed the Fund’s position in Bank of America but maintained the holding. |
| Shares of Masco increased after reporting third quarter 2012 earnings that beat estimates on higher operating margins. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Masco still has room to improve results, in part from additional restructuring efforts in its cabinet and installation segments. In our view, Masco was also well positioned to benefit from an improving housing market in the U.S. through increased demand for its products. We believed the combination of cost savings initiatives and higher volumes should lead to margin expansion and greater returns on invested capital. |
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 independent oil and gas exploration and production company Devon Energy, biotechnology company Vertex Pharmaceuticals and computer memory device manufacturer EMC. |
| The Fund’s stock selection in the energy sector detracted from performance during the Reporting Period, largely driven by Devon Energy, a North America-focused independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). During the Reporting Period, shares of Devon Energy fell along with the broader energy sector due to a decline in oil prices. The company has shifted production and resources toward oil and NGLs over time. As a result, its shares fell further after it reported third calendar quarter production levels that missed expectations due to operating issues. The market was also disappointed by Devon Energy’s forecast for flat overall production in 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we recognized our investment thesis may take longer to play out than originally expected, however we believed the value of Devon’s Energy’s large, North American asset base was not fully recognized at its then-current market price. While natural gas output may fall, higher margin oil production should increase, which should lead to a more favorable production mix in our view. Further, Devon Energy’s management is reviewing a number of strategic options, including the creation of a master limited partnership with assets from the company’s midstream business. (The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side, i.e. energy producers, and the demand side, i.e. energy end-users, for any type of energy commodity. Such midstream business can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities.) We believe the company’s management is taking the right steps to bring out the value within its large asset base. We believe the company maintains a strong balance sheet, which, along with its joint venture partnerships, may help speed up the development of its oil properties. In addition, we believe its cash flow should increase in 2013, as the company projects to spend significantly less on acquiring new acreage. |
| In October 2012, shares of Vertex Pharmaceuticals declined after a mid-stage study on the firm’s cystic fibrosis drug Kaleydeco did not meet investors’ expectations. Its shares continued to decline in November 2012 after a rival firm announced that a viable alternative to Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ hepatitis C drug Incivek cleared phase three trials. Its company management also announced third calendar quarter earnings that showed slowing Incivek sales and reimbursements for Kaleydeco in the European Union. Despite these setbacks, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe company has an attractive risk-reward profile with high upside potential. Already a market share leader in the treatment of hepatitis C, we believe Vertex Pharmaceuticals has the potential for margin and multiple expansion through further market penetration and pricing power. Further, in our view, the company maintained its first-mover advantage in cystic fibrosis treatments given its differentiated product pipeline. Holding more than $1 billion in cash, the company is sufficiently capitalized, in our view, to fund the development of its pipeline. |
| Shares of EMC declined during the Reporting Period, primarily due to less than anticipated earnings. Such earnings weakness was attributable to investor concerns that the company lost market share and to a sluggish macro and potentially weak spending environment in 2013. EMC was also negatively impacted in January 2013 by disappointing quarterly results and guidance from VMware, in which EMC holds an approximately 80% stake. However, EMC’s high-end and mid-tier storage products continued to record consistent growth and were gaining market share. We added |
55
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| to the Fund’s position in EMC for this reason and because we believe that concerns over the company’s data storage business stem from the macro environment late in 2012 and that such concerns were overblown. At the end of the Reporting Period, we did not see any company specific issues. While governments’ technology budgets may be tightened in 2013, the company’s management expected strong global information technology spending by corporations to offset any weakness. Long-term, we also believe the outlook is favorable for information storage and virtualization. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed EMC had a strong balance sheet and was trading below its average price to earnings ratio of recent years. As an industry leader in information storage, we found shares of the company to be attractively valued. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments 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 Duke Energy during the Reporting Period. The company has a strong dividend yield and, at the time of purchase, was trading at a discount to its peers as uncertainty around regulatory issues heightened and as the company completes its merger with Progress Energy. We believe the near-term concerns are temporary. In our view, earnings growth should be driven ahead by continued investments in environmental and infrastructure projects and modest growth in electricity demand. |
| We established a Fund position in Activision Blizzard, a leading publisher of gaming software and content, during the Reporting Period. Activision Blizzard owns three of the largest franchises in the electronic gaming industry — Call of Duty and Skylanders on console and World of Warcraft on personal computer. World of Warcraft is offered through a monthly subscription model that provides a large and reliable stream of cash flow, which, in turn, can be used to invest for growth in newer intellectual properties. In our view, these newer properties, including Call of Duty and Skylanders, and upcoming new releases have margin structures that are higher than the corporate average, which should drive Activision Blizzard’s operating margins higher if the company grows over the next few years as anticipated. In addition, we believe the company’s valuations were attractive at the time of purchase. |
| Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in software giant Microsoft. During the Reporting Period, Microsoft announced disappointing fiscal first quarter results caused by slower than expected enterprise adoption of the Windows 8 operating system. Investors were also disappointed by the sudden departure of the head of the Windows division. This departure was unexpected, as he was viewed by many as a potential chief executive officer successor. We exited the Fund’s position in Microsoft prior to this announcement, based on our view of slower anticipated growth ahead and limited traction in the mobile computing industry. While Microsoft pays an attractive dividend and should continue to generate large amounts of free cash flow, we believe its flagship Windows product is maturing. We also see the changes being driven by mobile and cloud computing potentially leading to disruptions in the company’s markets. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in enterprise software firm Oracle. Oracle has dominant market share in database management software, and the company outperformed other information technology names and the broader U.S. equity market during the Reporting Period. As a result, we sold the Fund’s shares in Oracle, taking profits, and re-allocated the proceeds to opportunities that we considered to have greater return potential. |
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 and industrials increased and its allocations to telecommunication services, information technology, utilities and health care decreased compared to the S&P 500 Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2012? |
A | | At the end of February 2013, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P 500 Index in financials and consumer discretionary. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P 500 Index in materials, health care, consumer staples, industrials and utilities and was rather neutrally weighted to the S&P 500 Index in telecommunication services, information technology and energy. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income and dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the 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 and Shareholder Administration fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.
D. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Focused Growth Fund have been amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations.
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ( the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, 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.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are 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.
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.
F. Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of certain Funds, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to a Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Statements of Operations.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
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 levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. 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 investments, 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).
The Trustees have adopted Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities and investment companies traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or 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. If no sale occurs, equity securities and exchange traded investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the daily NAV on the valuation date. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. Securities 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 and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. Investments applying these valuation adjustments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
108
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. 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. 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 fair value. With the exception of treasury securities, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short Term Investments — Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements 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. 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 funds of the Trust and 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 maintain pro-rata credit exposure to the underlying repurchase agreements’ counterparties. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that the aforementioned significant inputs are unobservable, or if 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 under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation 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 a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer, may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs, ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
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 of 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 annual rates as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of 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, acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agent fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) 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 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, Focused 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%, 0.014%, 0.064%, 0.004%, 0.064% and 0.044%, respectively. These Other Expense reimbursements will remain in place through at least December 29, 2013, 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 of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the six months ended February 28, 2013, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements were as follows:

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2013, the Funds participated in a $630,000,000 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 (“Other Borrowers”). 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 $970,000,000. This facility is to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes, which may include the funding of redemptions. 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, 2013, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

(1) | | With the exception of perpetual capital loss carryforwards, expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. |
As of February 28, 2013, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Growth | | | Concentrated Growth | | | Flexible Cap Growth | | | Focused Growth | | | Growth Opportunities | | | Small/Mid Cap Growth | | | Strategic Growth | | | Technology Tollkeeper | | | U.S. Equity | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 569,142,502 | | | $ | 99,148,402 | | | $ | 8,857,033 | | | $ | 11,467,517 | | | $ | 3,370,184,258 | | | $ | 873,379,884 | | | $ | 294,383,677 | | | $ | 302,946,096 | | | $ | 9,122,846 | |

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, differences in tax treatment of partnerships and underlying fund investments.
In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from certain non-deductible expenses and differences in the tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforwards, net operating losses, redemptions utilized as distributions 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.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Liquidity Risk — The Funds may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. 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 transactions defaults.

7. OTHER RISKS (continued) | | |
Non-Diversification Risk — Each of the Concentrated Growth Fund and Focused Growth Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, each Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Portfolio Concentration Risk — The Technology Tollkeeper Fund invests primarily in equity investments in 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 of its focus on technology, media and service companies, the Technology Tollkeeper Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. The Technology Tollkeeper Fund may also invest in a relatively few number of issuers. Thus, the Technology Tollkeeper Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
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.
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.
New Accounting Pronouncement — In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to enhance disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to offsetting (“netting”) on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This information will enable users of the Fund’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the Funds’ financial position. The ASU is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, GSAM is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2013 (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 (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, 2012 through February 28, 2013.
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, 2013.
