Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
This is not a complete list of risks that may affect the Funds. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Funds, please see the Funds’ Prospectus.
The Goldman Sachs Concentrated International Equity Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. Because the Fund may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss.
The Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in non-U.S. small-capitalization companies. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. The securities of mid- and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements.

MARKET REVIEW

International Funds
Market Review
International equities rallied during the six-month period ended April 30, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”). The MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (net, unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) posted a return of 16.90%.* The commitment to low interest rates and easy monetary policy from central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan was one of the biggest drivers of equity markets during the Reporting Period and contributed to particularly strong returns amongst financials stocks.
Japanese equities surged during the Reporting Period and led returns within the MSCI EAFE Index. Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party returned to power late in 2012 after campaigning on a platform of establishing an inflation target and weakening the yen. Once elected, Japan’s new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, followed through on setting an inflation target, while the new head of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiku Kuroda, announced a decision to double Japan’s monetary base. The yen subsequently weakened to its lowest level against the U.S. dollar in four years. The sharp rally in Japanese equity markets reflected optimism that the aggressive policies from its government and central bank would end deflation and stimulate Japan’s economy. In addition, the Japanese equity market responded positively to the weaker yen, which benefits Japan’s export-oriented economy.
European equities advanced solidly, generally reflecting optimism regarding Europe’s ability to work through its debt issues, despite some volatility during the Reporting Period driven by a banking crisis in Cyprus and by Italy’s political stalemate. In April 2013, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) lowered slightly its forecast for the Eurozone to a 0.3% contraction in economic growth for calendar year 2013. Other lackluster economic data points for Europe during April 2013 fueled speculation that the European Central Bank (“ECB”) would cut interest rates in early May 2013. Such speculation boosted equity markets broadly and financials stocks in particular. Additionally, a previously well-regarded academic paper linking lower debt-to-GDP ratios and economic growth was repudiated, leading equity markets to reflect the possibility of less austerity in Europe’s future.
For the Reporting Period overall, the consumer discretionary and financials sectors drove international equity market performance, followed closely by health care and information technology. Energy, materials and utilities were the weakest sectors, posting positive but more muted returns. From a country perspective, Japan was the best performer, followed by Greece, Switzerland and New Zealand. Israel, Norway, Italy and the U.K. each posted positive returns during the Reporting Period, but lagged the MSCI EAFE Index most.
Looking Ahead
We believe we will continue to see below-trend global GDP growth for 2013.1 However, we also believe there are companies in all regions of the world that can potentially grow faster than the global GDP average and stocks that will return more than the broader market averages. Looking ahead, we expect our stock selection to reflect two main themes. First, we intend to seek investments in the highest portion of the value chain. We favor business models that can win in a variety of market conditions, have high barriers to entry and/or less risk. An important part of our stock selection process also considers these top companies in light of potential alternatives in other industries, sectors and regions.

MARKET REVIEW
Secondly, we are looking to gain exposure to secular growth. Many qualities of a good business offer secular growth opportunities — a specialized niche, a strong brand, new technology or potential for market penetration, market share gains or new end markets. These advantages often translate to premium valuations on near-term earnings. However, we are only willing to pay for this growth potential when we judge it to be sustainable and when it is coupled with high returns on capital, particularly in light of modest global GDP growth and corporate earnings outlooks. In this transitioning world, we believe companies with secular growth are likely to be better able to retain margins, which, in our view, are peaking for many other firms. We believe companies that can better protect profits are those that may be rewarded.
Not surprisingly, companies with secular growth are often benefitting from broader secular growth trends that cut across almost all industries and regions of the world. Two of the biggest themes currently expressed in our Funds’ portfolios are the expansion of the growth markets’ middle class and the growing demand for mobile data.
Going forward, we believe equities are likely to look attractive versus other asset classes, as we expect interest rates to remain low in light of modest expectations for global economic growth. In addition, we think companies may take advantage of low financing rates and put high levels of cash to work via mergers and acquisitions, further supporting valuations. Overall, we have positioned our Funds’ portfolios with what we consider to be many higher quality stocks. We believe their better growth profiles and business models can drive returns in a market without a strong macro catalyst.
As always, we maintain our focus on seeking companies that we believe will generate long-term growth in today’s ever-changing market conditions.

Equity Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Concentrated International Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 15.44%, 14.97%, 15.02%, 15.66%, 15.38% and 15.60%, respectively. These returns compare to the 16.90% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net, unhedged) (the “MSCI Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s underperformance of the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were BG Group, CGG and BNP Paribas. |
| | BG Group, a U.K. company that specializes in the exploration, production, transmission and distribution of gas, oil and liquefied natural gas, was the biggest detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Its shares fell significantly in October 2012 following a profit warning and an announcement that the company’s production growth rate would be flat in 2013. Our investment thesis for BG Group is that we believe it has the best organic growth potential amongst the global oil majors, mainly driven by developments in Brazil and Australia. The company attributed the slide in its production outlook to a series of delays on projects in the North Sea, Egypt, the U.S. and Brazil. While we were disappointed by the news and by the company’s stock performance, we believe that production expectations for 2013 and beyond remain intact. We think the market overreacted to the company’s news, but we continue to monitor the situation. |
| | CGG, a French-based seismic company, detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. A new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, our investment thesis for CGG is based on what we see as the cyclical upturn in demand for marine seismic services over the next few years, driven by limited new capacity. However, due to recent delays in licensing in markets such as Brazil, the rate of upturn lagged market expectations. The story has been further complicated by CGG’s acquisition of the seismic business from oilfield services firm Fugro and by the fact that Fugro’s seismic business has disappointed due to the uncertainty with customers regarding this acquisition. We expect to see improvement in CGG’s results during the second half of 2013, with stronger multi-client sales, seismic pricing/utilization, equipment sales with new products and potential integration issues completed. |
| | French-based financial services firm BNP Paribas, one of the largest banks in Europe, disappointed, with its lagging performance primarily attributable to February and March 2013 when concerns renewed about the European banking sector following the bail-out of Cyprus and its banks. Although regulatory pressures are not going to go away, we believe BNP Paribas, a newly established position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, is a strong bank that can adapt to any environment, including a no or slow growth one, and create value for its shareholders. We see BNP Paribas as a company with a relatively stable return on equity, focused on returning capital to shareholders. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were Ericsson, Kubota and Mitsubishi Estate. |
| | Ericsson, the Sweden-based world’s largest maker of wireless network equipment, was the strongest contributor to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The company saw its sales and profit margin increase sharply during the fourth quarter of 2012, beating consensus estimates. Specifically, Ericsson’s earnings report showed that its sales in North America grew by 51%, as wireless operators and mobile carriers increased their spending to adapt to a growing trend in data consumption and to upgrade their networks to accommodate increased data usage. |
| | The Fund’s holding in Japanese agricultural and construction machinery company Kubota performed well. Its business was strong during the Reporting Period, as the improving housing environment in the U.S. drove the company’s U.S. business to recover. The depreciating Japanese yen supported the company’s earnings as well. |
| | Japanese real estate company Mitsubishi Estate was a strong contributor during the Reporting Period. Office fundamentals in Japan have been improving, and there was a market expectation that vacancy rates might have peaked in mid-2012. More specifically, the Tokyo office vacancy rate in October 2012 was 8.74%, further improved from 8.90% in September 2012 and the fourth consecutive month of declines from the 9.43% Tokyo office vacancy rate seen in June 2012. Additionally, aggressive monetary easing driven by the Japanese government and the Bank of Japan and expectations of potential reflation led to a rally in the Japanese real estate sector broadly. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in each of these three top contributors during the Reporting Period, as their stocks approached the target price we had set for each. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The biggest detractors from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were consumer discretionary, energy and consumer staples, where stock selection in each of these sectors weighed most negatively on performance. |
| | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI Index were information technology, telecommunication services and industrials, due primarily to effective stock selection in each. Having an overweighted allocation to information technology, which outpaced the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period, also helped. |
Q | | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in a concentrated portfolio or in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI Index. |
| | That said, the countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were France, the U.K. and Finland, where stock selection in each hampered results. Having an overweighted allocation to the U.K., which lagged the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. On the positive side, effective stock selection in Sweden, stock selection in and having an underweighted allocation to Germany and having exposure to China, which is not a component of the MSCI Index but which performed quite well, boosted its returns most relative to the MSCI Index. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives to hedge positions or as part of an active management strategy, but we used index futures on an opportunistic basis to ensure the Fund remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to those purchases already mentioned, we established new Fund positions during the Reporting Period in Belgium-based diversified chemicals company Solvay and in Japanese credit card company Credit Saison. |
| | Solvay introduced a new strategy in 2012 aimed at improving returns and boosting free cash flow. We have conviction that its chief executive officer, with his strong track record, should achieve the company’s target of €3 billion earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) by 2016. |
| | Credit Saison is the largest independent credit card company in Japan and the exclusive issuer of American Express. Should Japanese consumers start spending more due to rising wages and higher anticipated inflation, we believe Credit Saison should benefit from increased leverage by consumers. |
| | In addition to those sales already mentioned, we sold out of the Fund’s positions in Imperial Tobacco Group and SKF during the Reporting Period. |
| | We eliminated the Fund’s position in U.K.-based international tobacco company Imperial Tobacco during the Reporting Period, as volume trends in the U.K. and Europe have been deteriorating, mainly due to concerns about the regulatory environment. We felt this development put our investment rationale on the stock at risk, so we decided to sell. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in Sweden’s ball bearings manufacturer SKF, as the stock got close to our target price given higher market expectations for an economic recovery that would potentially increase demand for the company’s products. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of our bottom-up stock selection process rather than any top-down macroeconomic views or industry bets. That said, during the Reporting Period, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s sector or country weightings during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the MSCI Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to France, the U.K. and Finland and less exposure to Japan, Switzerland and Spain relative to the MSCI Index. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held neutral positions relative to the MSCI Index in several countries and had no position at all in several other countries, most notably Greece. |
| | From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the MSCI Index in financials, industrials and information technology at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI Index in telecommunication services, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, utilities and health care and was rather neutrally weighted compared to the MSCI Index in energy and materials. |
| | As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The MSCI EAFE Index (net, unhedged, with dividends reinvested) is a market capitalization-weighted composite of securities in 22 developed markets. The Index approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The dividend is reinvested after deduction for withholding tax, applying the rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI Barra uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. The Index is unmanaged and the figures for the Index do not include any deduction for fees or expenses. 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, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized 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 International Small Cap Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 15.81%, 15.32%, 15.31%, 16.05%, 15.71% and 15.94%, respectively. These returns compare to the 15.25% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Developed ex-US Small Cap Index (net) (the “S&P Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s outperformance of the S&P Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the S&P Index during the Reporting Period were Tokai Tokyo Financial Holdings, Eugene Technology and Takara Leben. |
| Japanese securities firm Tokai Tokyo Financial Holdings was the greatest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Tokai Tokyo Financial Holdings performed well as a result of strong stock market transactions volume. For example, monthly transaction value of Japanese stocks and unit trust sales increased significantly in December 2012 and did so even more dramatically in January and February 2013. |
| South Korean semiconductor equipment company Eugene Technology, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, was also a strong contributor to the Fund’s relative results. Its shares were strong as a result of an improved memory capital expenditure outlook for the second half of 2013 and for 2014. Additionally, anticipation of overseas client expansion and newly launched equipment for its non-memory business benefited returns, in our view. |
| Japanese real estate operator and developer Takara Leben’s condo business performed well, supported by the Japanese government’s tax break program for housing. The company provides condos with solar panels, which became popular for electricity savings. Also, aggressive monetary easing, driven by the government and the Bank of Japan, and expectations regarding potential reflation led to a rally in Japan’s real estate sector broadly during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the S&P Index during the Reporting Period were CGG, Kenmare Resources and Alamos Gold. |
| CGG, a French-based seismic company, detracted from the Fund’s relative performance most during the Reporting Period. Our investment thesis for CGG is based on what we see as the cyclical upturn in demand for marine seismic services over the next few years, driven by limited new capacity. However, due to recent delays in licensing in markets such as Brazil, the rate of upturn lagged market expectations. The story has been further complicated by CGG’s acquisition of the seismic business from oilfield services firm Fugro and by the fact that Fugro’s seismic business has disappointed due to the uncertainty with customers regarding this acquisition. We believe we should see improvement in CGG’s results during the second half of 2013, with stronger multi-client sales, seismic pricing/ utilization, equipment sales with new products and potential integration issues completed, and thus we added to the Fund’s position in the stock on weakness during the Reporting Period. |
| A position in U.K.-listed mineral sands mining company Kenmare Resources weighed negatively on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. The investment thesis for Kenmare Resources was based on a supply deficit in its key commodities — titanium dioxide and zircon, a 50% production expansion, just completing, and an unwinding of most of its fixed priced legacy contracts in 2012. However, the stock was impacted by sharply weaker global demand for its products, and some minor delays and cost overruns in its expansion. While demand was softer, the sharp downturn in its stock price was caused by destocking, |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| or inventory reduction, and by the industry’s reaction of lower output, particularly of zircon. As a result, industry price declines were limited. We believe the company’s stock should benefit if demand recovers with the end of destocking, and if its expansion comes on stream during 2013. At the end of the Reporting Period, we held the position, as we believed the stock has significant upside potential. |
| Canadian gold miner Alamos Gold is a preferred holding of our team’s within the gold sector, featuring low cost production in Mexico and another low cost project in Turkey entering the development stage. The company is also debt free with a meaningful cash position. However, in January 2013, Alamos Gold announced a takeover bid for fellow Canadian miner Aurizon Mines. Although eventually outbid by another company, the move negatively impacted its stock price performance. Even more significant was a decline in the price of gold bullion in 2013 year-to-date and negative sentiment toward the gold mining sector broadly. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Index were information technology, industrials and financials, due primarily to effective stock selection in each. |
| The biggest detractors from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period were health care, materials and consumer discretionary, where stock selection overall hurt relative performance. |
Q | | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the S&P Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the S&P Index. |
| That said, the Fund’s stock selection in Japan, Canada and Australia contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were France, the Netherlands and Italy, each due primarily to weak stock selection. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives to hedge positions or as part of an active management strategy, but we used index futures on an opportunistic basis to ensure the portfolio remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to those purchases already mentioned, we established Fund positions in Melrose Industries, IMI and C&C Group during the Reporting Period. |
| Melrose Industries is U.K.-based international engineering group with worldwide interests in the design, development and manufacture of specialist components for a wide range of markets, including aerospace, information technology, telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive, medical and consumer durables. We believe Melrose Industries has historically generated significant returns for its shareholders. |
| U.K.-based IMI applies leading edge valve technology solutions to end markets ranging from truck engines to power stations to beverage dispensers. By moving its portfolio toward engineering-based solutions in niche applications and away from more generic “off the shelf” products, IMI has enjoyed strong returns and performance versus its engineering peer group through the economic cycle. Its management appears to be continuing to drive what we consider to be this positive portfolio mix, supported by a strong balance sheet that provides merger and acquisition optionality should the right opportunity arise. The company’s announcement during the Reporting Period of a stock buy- back program was well received by the market, but we believe the fundamental quality of its current business, coupled with its prospects ahead, were yet to be fully reflected in its share price at the time of our purchase. |
| C&C Group has a strong franchise in the cider market, predominantly in the U.K. and Ireland. Although the consumer and competitive environment has been challenging for beverage companies in recent years, what we consider to be a strong management team at C&C Group has |
12
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| successfully diversified its product portfolio and defended attractive profit margins. We felt the two most positive drivers not being reflected in the company’s share price were a) the strategy of consolidating its Irish drinks market with a broad stable of its own and distributed brands and b) its significant growth opportunity in the U.S. through the acquisition of Vermont Hard Cider Company, giving C&C Group an approximately 50% share in a rapidly growing niche of the U.S. alcoholic beverages market. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s positions in D’Ieteren, Kabel Deutschland and Andritz during the Reporting Period. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in D’Ieteren, a Belgium-based auto importer/distributor and vehicle glass repair and replacement services company. The hoped-for recovery in the auto glass repair market did not materialize as expected, and difficult market dynamics in the U.K. caused us to question the robustness of the company’s business model more broadly. We sold the Fund’s position after the stock recovered relatively well early in 2013. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in German cable operator Kabel Deutschland following the stock’s sharp upward move in February 2013 on market rumors that Vodafone was considering a bid for the company. |
| A significant acquisition made by Austrian diversified machinery manufacturer Andritz raised concerns over the strategic direction of the company. Also, the order book in one of its key divisions had reached a peak in our view. We also felt the company’s valuation had reached an expensive level, and thus we sold the Fund’s position in Andritz. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of our bottom-up stock selection process rather than any top-down macroeconomic views or industry bets. That said, during the Reporting Period, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s sector or country weightings during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the S&P Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to the U.K., China and Ireland and less exposure to Hong Kong, Sweden and Italy relative to the S&P Index. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held neutral positions relative to the S&P Index in several countries, most notably Canada. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P Index in information technology and consumer discretionary at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P Index in financials, industrials, telecommunication services, utilities, health care, materials and consumer staples and was rather neutrally weighted relative to the S&P Index in energy. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

| 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 assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The S&P Developed ex-US Small Cap Index (net) is the small capitalization stock component of the S&P Developed Broad Market Index (BMI). The BMI is a float-weighted index that spans 22 countries (inclusive of the US) and includes the listed shares of all companies with an available market capitalization (float) of at least $100 million at the annual rebalance. At rebalance, companies are deleted from the index if their float falls below $75 million. The Small Cap ex-US is defined as those stocks falling in the bottom 15% of the cumulative available capital in each country. The Index reflects returns net of withholding taxes applied to foreign investors, calculated daily based on tax rates that would be applied to a Luxembourg-based investor. The Index is unmanaged and the figures for the Index do not include any deduction for fees or expenses. 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, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized 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.

Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 14.88%, 14.45%, 14.42%, 15.08%, 14.95% and 14.67%, respectively. These returns compare to the 16.90% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net, unhedged) (the “MSCI Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s underperformance of the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among the biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were CGG, Rio Tinto and Lixil Group. |
| CGG, a French-based seismic company, detracted from the Fund’s relative performance most during the Reporting Period. Our investment thesis for CGG is based on what we see as the cyclical upturn in demand for marine seismic services over the next few years, driven by limited new capacity. However, due to recent delays in licensing in markets such as Brazil, the rate of upturn lagged market expectations. The story has been further complicated by CGG’s acquisition of the seismic business from oilfield services firm Fugro and by the fact that Fugro’s seismic business has disappointed due to the uncertainty with customers regarding this acquisition. We expect to see improvement in CGG’s results during the second half of 2013, with stronger multi-client sales, seismic pricing/utilization, equipment sales with new products and potential integration issues completed, and thus we added to the Fund’s position in the stock on weakness during the Reporting Period. |
| Rio Tinto, a U.K.-based world leader in mining mineral resources, also detracted from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Iron ore prices moved from highs of $160 per tonne at the end of January 2013 to $138 per tonne in March 2013. This price decline, along with a negative sentiment on China’s economy, caused Rio Tinto’s share price to weaken. We added to the Fund’s position in the stock on weakness. |
| Japanese building materials company Lixil Group’s share price declined, as investors had concern the company might miss its guidance. There had been a delay in launching a new product, and its cost reduction plans did not go as well as anticipated as the company increased bonuses. In turn, Lixil Group’s earnings momentum was not as strong as expected, and the stock underperformed the MSCI Index. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period were Ericsson, Mitsubishi Estate and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group. |
| Ericsson, the Sweden-based world’s largest maker of wireless network equipment, was the strongest contributor to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The company saw its sales and profit margin increase sharply during the fourth quarter of 2012, beating consensus estimates. Specifically, Ericsson’s earnings report showed that its sales in North America grew by 51%, as wireless operators and mobile carriers increased their spending to adapt to a growing trend in data consumption and to upgrade their networks to accommodate increased data usage. At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected this data consumption trend to continue over the long term and still believed Ericsson was well positioned to benefit. |
17
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Japanese real estate company Mitsubishi Estate was a strong contributor during the Reporting Period. Office fundamentals in Japan have been improving, and there was a market expectation that vacancy rates might have peaked in mid-2012. More specifically, the Tokyo office vacancy rate in October 2012 was 8.74%, further improved from 8.90% in September 2012 and the fourth consecutive month of declines from the 9.43% Tokyo office vacancy rate seen in June 2012. Additionally, aggressive monetary easing driven by the Japanese government and the Bank of Japan and expectations of potential reflation led to a rally in the Japanese real estate sector broadly. We sold the Fund’s position in the company to take profits and used the proceeds for what we considered to be better risk/reward opportunities. |
| Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group performed well on good fundamentals. Its retail business, including mutual fund sales, was strong, given positive market sentiment, and credit costs were reduced. On the back of these positive fundamentals, the company announced an upward revision of its earnings, which contributed to the stock price increase as well. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The biggest detractors from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period were consumer discretionary, energy and consumer staples, where weak stock selection in each hurt most. |
| | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI Index were health care, industrials and information technology. Stock selection in all three sectors proved effective during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI Index. |
| That said, the countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were France, the U.K. and Japan. Both stock selection in and having overweighted allocations to France and the U.K., each of which lagged the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period, weighed negatively on relative performance. Having an underweighted exposure to the comparative strong Japanese equity market hampered results. |
| Conversely, effective individual stock selection in Sweden contributed most positively to the Fund’s results relative to the MSCI Index. Both stock selection in and having an underweighted allocation to Germany, which lagged the MSCI Index during the Reporting Period, boosted the Fund’s performance. Having only a modest exposure to Italy, which significantly lagged the MSCI Index, added value as well. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives to hedge positions or as part of an active management strategy, but we used index futures on an opportunistic basis to ensure the portfolio remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we purchased Fund positions in Sanofi, Anheuser-Busch InBev and AXA. |
| We initiated a Fund position in Sanofi, a France-based global pharmaceutical company, because of its focus on “long duration assets,” which we characterize as less reliant on cyclical research and development investment and/or less exposed to intellectual property erosion. These long-term assets currently represent 60% of Sanofi’s sales, and we believe this proportion may well grow to 70% by 2016. Compared to its peers, the company has high exposure to emerging markets, providing diversified exposure. |
18
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| We established a Fund position in Belgium-based brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev on prospects for higher earnings growth after its proposal to buy control of the Mexican brewer Modelo. |
| We initiated a Fund position in France-based global insurer AXA because we believe the company was undervalued compared to its peers and that the market was overlooking AXA’s powerful recovery story following the financial crisis. We believe management has been taking the right steps to ensure the business moves forward and generates more cash to support its dividend. |
| In addition to the sales already mentioned, we sold out of the Fund’s positions in Westpac Banking and UBS during the Reporting Period. |
| We sold out of the Fund’s position in Westpac, the second largest Australian bank, as it reached our target price given better earnings driven by the solid economic environment in Australia and given the search for stable high yielding stocks. |
| Similarly, we eliminated the Fund’s position in Swiss diversified banking institution UBS, as it had performed well and approached its target price. We switched into French- based financial services firm BNP Paribas, one of the largest banks in Europe. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of our bottom-up stock selection process rather than any top-down macroeconomic views or industry bets. That said, during the Reporting Period, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s sector or country weightings during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the MSCI Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to France, Russia and Belgium and less exposure to Australia, Japan and Germany relative to the MSCI Index. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held neutral positions relative to the MSCI Index in several countries, most notably Switzerland and Sweden. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the MSCI Index in health care and telecommunication services at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI Index in financials and utilities and rather neutral positions relative to the MSCI Index in consumer staples, consumer discretionary, information technology, materials, industrials and energy. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
As of April 30, 2013 |

| 6 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. Underlying sector allocations of exchange traded funds held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2013 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered* | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Concentrated International Equity and International Small Cap | | A, B, C, Institutional, Service and IR | | Diversified |
Strategic International Equity | | A, B, C, Institutional, IR and R | | Diversified |
* | | Class B Shares are generally no longer available for purchase by current or prospective investors. |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B Shares were sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C Shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

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. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in United States (“U.S.”) real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
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. 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.
40

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

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 GSAMI’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 GSAMI 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, GSAMI 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 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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 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. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures contracts, typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.
i. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.
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 GSAMI 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. GSAMI 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.

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 — GSAMI has agreed to limit certain “Other Expense” of the Funds (excluding 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 GSAMI for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Concentrated International Equity, International Small Cap and Strategic International Equity Funds are 0.064%, 0.034% and 0.164%, respectively. Prior to February 28, 2013, the Other Expense limitations for the Concentrated International Equity and International Small Cap were 0.104% and .064%, respectively. These Other Expense reimbursements will remain in place through at least February 28, 2014, and prior to such date GSAMI may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the six months ended April 30, 2013, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Custody Fee Credits | | | Other Expense Reimbursement | | | Total Expense Reductions | |

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 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 GSAMI 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 April 30, 2013, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Effective May 8, 2013, the committed amount available through the facility increased to $780,000,000.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2013, Goldman Sachs earned $3,911 and $524 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the International Small Cap and Strategic International Equity Funds, respectively.
As of April 30, 2013, the Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio was the beneficial owner of approximately 40% of the total outstanding shares of the International Small Cap Fund.
As of April 30, 2013, the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 10% and 100% of the Class IR and Class R Shares of the Strategic International Equity Fund, respectively.

As of April 30, 2013, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Concentrated International Equity | | | International Small Cap | | | Strategic International Equity | |
Tax cost | | $ | 136,894,918 | | | $ | 108,659,010 | | | $ | 52,151,687 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 11,823,457 | | | | 16,239,223 | | | | 8,216,238 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (4,916,010 | ) | | | (4,175,716 | ) | | | (1,373,327 | ) |
Net unrealized security gain | | $ | 6,907,447 | | | $ | 12,063,507 | | | $ | 6,842,911 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences related to the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAMI has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and foreign currency with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight or independent evaluation of their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters into bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are often undeveloped and may be less regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Shareholder Concentration Risk — Certain funds, accounts, individuals or Goldman Sachs affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Funds’ shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in the Funds may impact the Funds’ liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force the Funds to sell securities.
Issuer Concentration Risk — The Concentrated International Equity Fund intends to invest in a relatively small number of issuers. As a result, it may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers. A change in the value of any single investment held by the Fund may affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect a mutual fund that

|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
holds more investments. In particular, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer in the Fund and may be susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange traded fund (“ETF”), a Fund will directly bear its proportionate share of any management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
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.
Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, be subject to government ownership controls, have delayed settlements and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and State law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAMI believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
New Accounting Pronouncement — In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU”) to enhance disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to offsetting (“netting”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. This information will enable users of the Funds’ 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, GSAMI 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. GSAMI has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 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) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2012 through April 30, 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 ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fee or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | | Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2013. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |
