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. 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 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. 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. 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 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. 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 industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. 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. 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 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.

The Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund invests primarily in equity investments with a primary focus on mid- and small-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 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. 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 FundSM invests primarily in equity securities of high quality technology, media or service companies that adopt or use technology to improve their cost structure, revenue opportunities or competitive advantage (“Technology Tollkeeper” companies). Because the Fund concentrates its investments in 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 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. 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, 2014 (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 15.07%, and the Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 15.83%.
The U.S. equity market enjoyed four consecutive months of gains from September through December 2013. The S&P 500® Index made record highs in December 2013, as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) ended seven months of speculation and announced it would finally begin tapering its asset purchases, signaling confidence in the U.S. economy. Days later, the U.S. revised upward its Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth estimate for the third quarter of 2013 to an annualized pace of 4.1%, the fastest rate in two years. Importantly, stronger consumption accounted for most of the upward revision.
U.S. equities, along with global developed market equities broadly, stumbled in January 2014 on renewed concerns about a variety of issues in the growth and emerging markets, including lower manufacturing activity in China. However, developed market equities, including those of the U.S., snapped back in February 2014. Indeed, the S&P 500® Index made a fresh high in February 2014, as merger and acquisition activity picked up and corporate earnings announcements reflected top-line growth, even though overall management guidance for 2014 was less optimistic than the consensus view. Underlying economic activity during February 2014 was not as strong as it had been at the end of 2013, with disappointing payroll and retail sales reports, though it was unclear how much severe winter weather across most of the U.S. was to blame. Furthermore, a downward revision of fourth quarter 2013 GDP to an annualized rate of 2.4% from 3.2% indicated the consumer was resilient but not quite as strong as previously thought.
For the Reporting Period overall, small-cap companies performed best with mid-cap companies close behind. While generating solid double-digit positive returns, large-cap stocks followed at some distance. Growth stocks outpaced value stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by Russell Investments indices.) Within the S&P 500® Index, all ten sectors made gains during the Reporting Period. The health care, industrials, information technology and materials sectors led returns, driven by improving earnings growth. Telecommunication services eked out a positive return but significantly underperformed the broader market.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
While equity markets have rallied substantially since March 2009, underlying economic growth has actually been slow and uneven. The global macroeconomic challenges and uncertainties in recent years dampened the confidence and sentiment of investors and company managements alike. We believe increased merger and acquisition activity seen during the Reporting Period is a sign that mindsets are now changing as economic growth improves. Looking forward, then, we expect more companies to be rewarded for increasing capital expenditures, research and development spending, merger and acquisition activity and hiring, rather than for keeping excessive cash on balance sheets and paying dividends.
We expect the anticipated acceleration in economic growth to drive strong corporate earnings growth, particularly in the developed markets. With most developed markets trading near historical average valuations at the end of the Reporting Period, we believe earnings growth will likely be the main driver of equity performance going forward. In the U.S., we are looking for an increase in revenues to drive further earnings growth. As such, not all areas of the market are likely to participate to the same extent. At the end of the Reporting Period, we favored many innovative industries in the information technology, health care and industrials sectors and had select exposure in financials. Should we indeed move into a phase of economic growth, we are more cautious on areas of the market related to the previous economic environment, such as commodity-related industries and yield-oriented sectors. Already, average stock and sector correlations were notably lower at the end of the Reporting Period than in recent years, which, in our view, increases opportunities for active managers.
The greatest risk to our view comes from anything that negatively impacts confidence and sentiment and that hinders growth momentum. For example, we believe a pause in reforms of the Japanese economy or in the European banking system or a return to partisan gridlock in the U.S. government might impact our view. While we believe that central banks tightening too quickly would be a negative for the equity markets as well, a modest increase in interest rates is consistent with improving economic growth and would not be a risk to our view.
We intend to use our forward-looking, active management approach to investing as we seek to appropriately position the Fundamental Equity Growth Funds for what we believe to be a new growth-oriented environment. As always, we continue to focus on building quality portfolios through intense bottom-up research and believe such a disciplined strategy will help us position the Fundamental Equity Growth Funds effectively in these still uncertain times.

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 Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 (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 18.10%, 17.64%, 17.67%, 18.34%, 18.06%, 18.26% and 17.93%, respectively. These returns compare to the 17.84% 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 consumer staples, telecommunication services and financials 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, materials and consumer discretionary sectors. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in specialty coffee and coffeemakers company Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, biotechnology company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and premium spirits company Beam. |
| | Shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, gained after the announcement that Coca-Cola would purchase a 10% stake in the company, while additionally entering into a 10-year agreement to explore producing Coca-Cola products for use with its Keurig Cold beverage system. The company also benefited from recent exposure to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Folgers and Costco brands along with a new sustainable business structure that segments U.S. and Canada operations. With positive free cash flows and strong earnings quality, we believe the company has a solid long-term growth opportunity, competitive margins, improving return on invested capital and a credible management team and board. (As of March 10, 2014, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters changed its company name to Keurig Green Mountain.) |
| | Regeneron Pharmaceuticals was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares gained as its flagship treatment, Eylea, continued to be well received by the market. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the company and believed that in addition to Eylea, designed to treat macular degeneration, the company has a strong product pipeline for the treatment of high cholesterol and asthma. The company’s cholesterol drug in particular has received positive feedback in trials, and the responses from cardiologists suggest there is |

| a large addressable market for the drug. We believed its valuation at the end of the Reporting Period presented a compelling risk/reward opportunity. |
| | Shares of Beam gained as a leading Japanese whiskey company, Suntory Holdings, announced it had reached an agreement to purchase Beam. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014 pending approval. It is always encouraging when the value of one of the Fund’s holdings is recognized by a strategic player within the industry, and our investment thesis plays out through an acquisition. We believe Beam is a high quality growth business given it is operating in a fragmented industry with improving secular tailwinds, high barriers to entry, attractive margins and returns on invested capital. Therefore, we were not surprised Beam became an acquisition target. |
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 fashion retailer L Brands, global clothing manufacturer PVH and natural resources and production company Anadarko Petroleum. |
| | L Brands, with subsidiaries that include Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, was a top detractor from the Fund’s performance. Its shares moved sharply lower after reporting same-store sales growth that was below consensus expectations in both November and December 2013. Despite such weakness, we were encouraged by the strength of L Brands’ U.S. business, and we believe many of the company’s brands resonate globally, leading us to a positive view on the company’s international business. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the stock, based on our belief that future growth may be driven by its continued growth in U.S. square footage, product expansion into natural adjacencies and international expansion. In February 2014, L Brands announced a special dividend of $1.00 and also raised its dividend by approximately 13%, sending its shares sharply higher. |
| | Shares of PVH declined as the company provided softer than expected earnings guidance for 2013 and 2014 given management’s cautious views on the global economy and global apparel sales, a headwind experienced by many retailers at the end of 2013. As a result, there were concerns that retail inventory levels were high, which may lead retailers to delay orders for PVH’s clothing. We believe this dynamic is transient in nature and is an industry-wide issue as opposed to specific to PVH. In addition, unexpected expenses related to its Warnaco Group acquisition, which closed earlier in 2013, were a key factor in its guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed PVH remained one of the best positioned names in the industry, given we expect it to reap benefits from its Warnaco Group acquisition and to benefit from its disproportionately large exposure to a recovery in Europe. In addition, we believe that should PVH’s higher margin brands, like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, grow faster than PVH’s heritage business, as we anticipate, the company’s operating profit growth may accelerate meaningfully. |
| | Anadarko Petroleum detracted from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. Its shares declined following weak third quarter 2013 earnings and on a December 2013 ruling holding Anadarko Petroleum responsible for environmental and health claims related to Tronox, a chemical company subsidiary spun off by the company in 2005. We believe this setback is temporary, and our long-term investment thesis on the company remains unchanged. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Anadarko Petroleum was well positioned given its proven reserves, quality of asset portfolio and significant development opportunities. |
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. |
7
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in leading home improvement retailer Home Depot. While Home Depot is a mature retailer, we believe it has strong cash returns and is well positioned in an attractive home improvement segment that is still in the early stages of a recovery. The company is improving in-store efficiencies with information technology, shedding non-core business and reinvesting in its supply chain and service, which should enhance profitability and return on capital, in our opinion. We believe Home Depot has a solid earnings and free cash flow growth profile over the next few years and was trading, at the time of purchase, at an attractive valuation. |
| | We established a Fund position in Comcast, a company focused on mass media, entertainment and communications. We were attracted to Comcast for several reasons. First, we believed its valuation at the time of purchase was attractive relative to its peers and traditional media. Second, Comcast has a cable asset that, in our view, should allow the company both to perform better than its peers and to benefit from strong cyclical and secular themes supporting the cable industry. Finally, we see potential upside through Comcast increasing its balance sheet leverage to repurchase shares or to potentially make a strategic acquisition. |
| | Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in electronic payment company MasterCard during the Reporting Period. The stock performed well in 2013, and, in our view, was subsequently valued at a premium based on relatively high forward expectations. We also believe consensus estimates did not account for any adverse regulatory changes that could occur in an electronic payments industry that is rapidly changing. Therefore, we decided to reallocate capital into what we considered to be more attractive risk/reward opportunities. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in industrial gas supplier Praxair. We decided to reallocate capital into Airgas, a company with a similar growth profile to Praxair but whose stock was trading at a more compelling valuation, in our view. |
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 and materials increased and its allocations to health care, industrials and telecommunication services decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, telecommunication services and consumer staples. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in materials, information technology, energy and health care and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2014. |
Q | | Were any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |

| 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 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.GSAMFUNDS.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 Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 (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 17.11%, 16.74%, 16.70%, 17.43%, 17.33% and 17.02%, respectively. These returns compare to the 17.84% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated double-digit absolute gains, but sector allocation overall detracted from its performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection as a whole contributed positively to the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in the health care, consumer discretionary and energy sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative results most during the Reporting Period. Sector positioning in health care, industrials and financials also hurt. Effective stock selection in the information technology and financials sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Sector positioning in the consumer staples sector also buoyed results. |
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 natural resources and production company Anadarko Petroleum, global clothing manufacturer PVH and fashion retailer L Brands. |
| Anadarko Petroleum detracted from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. Its shares declined following weak third quarter 2013 earnings and on a December 2013 ruling holding Anadarko Petroleum responsible for environmental and health claims related to Tronox, a chemical company subsidiary spun off by the company in 2005. We believe this setback is temporary, and our long-term investment thesis on the company remains unchanged. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Anadarko Petroleum was well positioned given its proven reserves, quality of asset portfolio and significant development opportunities. |
| Shares of PVH declined as the company provided softer than expected earnings guidance for 2013 and 2014 given management’s cautious views on the global economy and global apparel sales, a headwind experienced by many retailers at the end of 2013. As a result, there were concerns that retail inventory levels were high, which may lead retailers to delay orders for PVH’s clothing. We believe this dynamic is transient in nature and is an industry-wide issue as opposed to specific to PVH. In addition, unexpected |

| expenses related to its Warnaco Group acquisition, which closed earlier in 2013, were a key factor in its guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed PVH remained one of the best positioned names in the industry, given we expect it to reap benefits from its Warnaco Group acquisition and to benefit from its disproportionately large exposure to a recovery in Europe. In addition, we believe that should PVH’s higher margin brands, like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, grow faster than PVH’s heritage business, as we anticipate, the company’s operating profit growth may accelerate meaningfully. |
| L Brands, with subsidiaries that include Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, was a top detractor from the Fund’s performance. Its shares moved sharply lower after reporting same-store sales growth that was below consensus expectations in both November and December 2013. Despite such weakness, we were encouraged by the strength of L Brands’ U.S. business, and we believe many of the company’s brands resonate globally, leading us to a positive view on the company’s international business. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the stock, based on our belief that future growth may be driven by its continued growth in U.S. square footage, product expansion into natural adjacencies and international expansion. In February 2014, L Brands announced a special dividend of $1.00 and also raised its dividend by approximately 13%, sending its shares sharply higher. |
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 leading Internet search and technology company Google, fast-casual restaurant operator Chipotle Mexican Grill and biotechnology company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. |
| Google was the top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company reported strong third and fourth quarter 2013 results, with revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus estimates, as Google Websites and Core Google posted strong operating profit growth. Its shares also reacted positively preceding the fourth quarter 2013 earnings release when Google announced it was selling Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. Additionally, strong performance may be attributed to its acquisition of Nest Labs, a smart-home technology company that manufactures Wi-Fi-enabled, self-learning, programmable thermostats and smoke detectors. At the end of the Reporting Period, Google continued to be the dominant search engine, and we believe the company remains well positioned to monetize online advertising and the shift to mobile. The company also continues to invest in new product initiatives outside of its core search business, which could offer future growth opportunities. In our view, Google’s stock at the end of the Reporting Period was trading at a reasonable valuation for what we consider to be a high quality franchise with a strong long-term growth profile. |
| Chipotle Mexican Grill contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Despite reporting third quarter 2013 earnings slightly below consensus, same-store sales growth exceeded expectations due to the roll-out of catering, better customer throughput during peak periods, increased advertising and the introduction of a new menu item, Sofritas (braised tofu). We expect the company to raise its prices in 2014, which should benefit same-store sales growth and margins going forward. We believe that Chipotle Mexican Grill is a high quality growth franchise with an attractive business model, effective management and strong brand recognition. At the end of the Reporting Period, we also believed the company was well positioned for long-term growth by increasing same-store sales and expanding its domestic and international store count. |
| Regeneron Pharmaceuticals was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares gained as its flagship treatment, Eylea, continued to be well received by the market. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the company and believed that in addition to Eylea, designed to treat macular degeneration, the company has a strong product pipeline for the treatment of high cholesterol and asthma. The company’s cholesterol drug in particular has received positive feedback in trials, and the responses from cardiologists suggest there is a large addressable market for the drug. We believed its valuation at the end of the Reporting Period presented a compelling risk/reward opportunity. |
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. |
13
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in EMC, a leading information storage technologies company. EMC is a market leader in storage hardware and has the opportunity, in our view, to continue to take share of a relatively fragmented market. We believe the company is well positioned to take advantage of future technological changes, as its forward-looking management team has a history of embracing and driving change. Shares of EMC significantly lagged the market during the Reporting Period, but we believe its depressed valuation, coupled with multiple potential growth drivers and disciplined capital allocation, support an attractive risk/ reward opportunity. |
| We established a Fund position in professional networking website LinkedIn. We believe LinkedIn has an attractive growth runway and that its website and content provide an example of disruptive technology that is early in its life cycle. (Disruptive technology is defined as new ways of doing things that disrupt or overturn traditional business methods and practices.) While the stock may not appear overly inexpensive on a number of valuation metrics, we believe it warrants a premium valuation, as the company could continue to exceed earnings expectations should it capture additional subscribers and develop its platform as we anticipate. |
| Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in Salesforce.com, a provider of enterprise cloud computing and social enterprise solutions. While we remain positive on the fundamentals of the company, given the stock’s strong performance in 2013, we decided to reallocate capital to opportunities with what we considered to have more attractive risk/reward profiles. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in consumer goods company Procter & Gamble during the Reporting Period. While we are positive on the return of the company’s former chief executive officer, announced earlier in 2013, we believe much of the good news and growth initiatives were already priced into the company’s shares. Therefore, we decided to sell the position and reallocate the capital into higher conviction companies. |
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 and health care increased and its allocations to energy and information technology decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, materials and industrials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in information technology, telecommunication services, health care and energy and had no position at all in the utilities sector on February 28, 2014. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |

| 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 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, 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 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.GSAMFUNDS.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 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 Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 (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 18.66%, 18.19%, 18.94%, 18.82% and 18.58%, respectively. These returns compare to the 17.95% 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 information technology, consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an underweighted allocation to consumer staples, which was the second-weakest sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted the Fund’s relative results. Challenging stock selection in industrials, health care and materials detracted most from the Fund’s relative results 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 leading Internet search and technology company Google, Internet radio service provider Pandora Media and specialty coffee and coffeemakers company Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. |
| | Google was the top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company reported strong third and fourth quarter 2013 results, with revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus estimates, as Google Websites and Core Google posted strong operating profit growth. Its shares also reacted positively preceding the fourth quarter 2013 earnings release when Google announced it was selling Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. Additionally, strong performance may be attributed to its acquisition of Nest Labs, a smart-home technology company that manufactures Wi-Fi-enabled, self-learning, programmable thermostats and smoke detectors. At the end of the Reporting Period, Google continued to be the dominant search engine, and we believe the company remains well positioned to monetize online advertising and the shift to mobile. The company also continues to invest in new product initiatives outside of its core search business, which could offer future growth opportunities. In our view, Google’s stock at the end of the Reporting Period was trading at a reasonable valuation for what we consider to be a high quality franchise with a strong long-term growth profile. |
18
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | The strong performance of Pandora Media was driven in part by strong growth in key audience metrics, including listener hours, share of total U.S. radio listening and number of active listeners. The company’s stock was further bolstered by the announcement of a new chief executive officer. Pandora Media also announced it would begin rolling out in-car advertising in the first quarter of 2014. In our view, the company is well positioned to monetize mobile and gain market share within the terrestrial radio market, as its active user base continues to grow. We believe the company’s differentiated business model, strong brand recognition and first-mover advantage, along with a continued shift to online advertising, should also help support growth. |
| | Shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, gained after the announcement that Coca-Cola would purchase a 10% stake in the company, while additionally entering into a 10-year agreement to explore producing Coca-Cola products for use with its Keurig Cold beverage system. The company also benefited from recent exposure to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Folgers and Costco brands along with a new sustainable business structure that segments U.S. and Canada operations. With positive free cash flows and strong earnings quality, we believe the company has a solid long-term growth opportunity, competitive margins, improving return on invested capital and a credible management team and board. (As of March 10, 2014, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters changed its company name to Keurig Green Mountain.) |
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 social networking website operator Facebook, global clothing manufacturer PVH and natural resources and production company Anadarko Petroleum. |
| | We initiated a Fund position in Facebook two weeks before the end of the Reporting Period. The company detracted from relative results because it was a strong performer throughout the Reporting Period, when the Fund did not yet own a position in its shares. Facebook’s good results were due largely to strong mobile advertising revenue, as advertiser demand has been catching up to mobile usage and driving solid growth. Facebook also announced it is exploring options for mobile payment products. We believe the company is well positioned to continue to grow in the mobile advertising space as usage shifts from desktop to mobile. Overall, we remain positive on the company and believe the stock was trading, at the end of the Reporting Period, at a reasonable valuation, supported by its industry leading position and considerable opportunity to monetize its extensive user base. |
| | Shares of PVH declined as the company provided softer than expected earnings guidance for 2013 and 2014 given management’s cautious views on the global economy and global apparel sales, a headwind experienced by many retailers at the end of 2013. As a result, there were concerns that retail inventory levels were high, which may lead retailers to delay orders for PVH’s clothing. We believe this dynamic is transient in nature and is an industry-wide issue as opposed to specific to PVH. In addition, unexpected expenses related to its Warnaco Group acquisition, which closed earlier in 2013, were a key factor in its guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed PVH remained one of the best positioned names in the industry, given we expect it to reap benefits from its Warnaco Group acquisition and to benefit from its disproportionately large exposure to a recovery in Europe. In addition, we believe that should PVH’s higher margin brands, like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, grow faster than PVH’s heritage business, as we anticipate, the company’s operating profit growth may accelerate meaningfully. |
| | Anadarko Petroleum detracted from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. Its shares declined following weak third quarter 2013 earnings and on a December 2013 ruling holding Anadarko Petroleum responsible for environmental and health claims related to Tronox, a chemical company subsidiary spun off by the company in 2005. We believe this setback is temporary, and our long-term investment thesis on the company remains unchanged. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Anadarko Petroleum was well positioned given its proven reserves, quality of asset portfolio and significant development opportunities. |

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 EMC, a leading information storage technologies company. EMC is a market leader in storage hardware and has the opportunity, in our view, to continue to take share of a relatively fragmented market. We believe the company is well positioned to take advantage of future technological changes, as its forward-looking management team has a history of embracing and driving change. Shares of EMC significantly lagged the market during the Reporting Period, but we believe its depressed valuation, coupled with multiple potential growth drivers and disciplined capital allocation, support an attractive risk/ reward opportunity. |
| | We established a Fund position in leading home improvement retailer Home Depot. While Home Depot is a mature retailer, we believe it has strong cash returns and is well positioned in an attractive home improvement segment that is still in the early stages of a recovery. The company is improving in-store efficiencies with information technology, shedding non-core business and reinvesting in its supply chain and service, which should enhance profitability and return on capital. We believe Home Depot has a solid earnings and free cash flow growth profile over the next few years and was trading, at the time of purchase, at an attractive valuation. |
| | Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in electronic payment company MasterCard during the Reporting Period. The stock performed well in 2013, and, in our view, was subsequently valued at a premium based on relatively high forward expectations. We also believe consensus estimates did not account for any adverse regulatory changes that could occur in an electronic payments industry that is rapidly changing. Therefore, we decided to reallocate capital into what we considered to be more attractive risk/reward opportunities. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in industrial gas supplier Praxair. We decided to reallocate capital into Airgas, a company with a similar growth profile to Praxair but whose stock was trading at a more compelling valuation, in our view. |
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 and health care increased and its allocations to consumer staples, information technology and financials decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the consumer discretionary, financials and health care sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, materials and information technology and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in telecommunication services, energy and industrials. The Fund had no position at all in the utilities sector on February 28, 2014. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |

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 Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Focused Growth Fund’s (the
“Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 (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 17.56%, 17.14%, 17.81%, 17.72% and 17.40%, respectively. These returns compare to the 17.84% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated double-digit absolute gains, but sector allocation overall detracted from its performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection as a whole contributed positively to the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in consumer discretionary, health care and energy and having an underweighted allocation to health care, which significantly outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, detracted from the Fund’s relative results most. Effective stock selection in the consumer staples, information technology and telecommunication services sectors and having an underweighted allocation to consumer staples, which was the second-weakest sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, 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 global clothing manufacturer PVH, natural resources and production company Anadarko Petroleum and fashion retailer L Brands. |
| Shares of PVH declined as the company provided softer than expected earnings guidance for 2013 and 2014 given management’s cautious views on the global economy and global apparel sales, a headwind experienced by many retailers at the end of 2013. As a result, there were concerns that retail inventory levels were high, which may lead retailers to delay orders for PVH’s clothing. We believe this dynamic is transient in nature and is an industry-wide issue as opposed to specific to PVH. In addition, unexpected expenses related to its Warnaco Group acquisition, which closed earlier in 2013, were a key factor in its guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed PVH remained one of the best positioned names in the industry, given we expect it to reap benefits from its Warnaco Group acquisition and to benefit from its disproportionately large exposure to a recovery in Europe. In addition, we believe that should PVH’s higher margin brands, like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, grow faster than PVH’s heritage business, as we anticipate, the company’s operating profit growth may accelerate meaningfully. |
| Anadarko Petroleum detracted from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. Its shares declined following weak third quarter 2013 earnings and on a December 2013 ruling holding Anadarko Petroleum responsible for environmental and health claims related to |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Tronox, a chemical company subsidiary spun off by the company in 2005. We believe this setback is temporary, and our long-term investment thesis on the company remains unchanged. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Anadarko Petroleum was well positioned given its proven reserves, quality of asset portfolio and significant development opportunities. |
| L Brands, with subsidiaries that include Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, was a top detractor from the Fund’s performance. Its shares moved sharply lower after reporting same-store sales growth that was below consensus expectations in both November and December 2013. Despite such weakness, we were encouraged by the strength of L Brands’ U.S. business, and we believe many of the company’s brands resonate globally, leading us to a positive view on the company’s international business. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the stock, based on our belief that future growth may be driven by its continued growth in U.S. square footage, product expansion into natural adjacencies and international expansion. In February 2014, L Brands announced a special dividend of $1.00 and also raised its dividend by approximately 13%, sending its shares sharply higher. |
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 premium spirits company Beam, leading Internet search and technology company Google and biotechnology company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. |
| Shares of Beam gained as a leading Japanese whiskey company, Suntory Holdings, announced it had reached an agreement to purchase Beam. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014 pending approval. In our view, it is always encouraging when the value of one of the Fund’s holdings is recognized by a strategic player within the industry, and our investment thesis plays out through an acquisition. We believe Beam is a high quality growth business given it is operating in a fragmented industry with improving secular tailwinds, high barriers to entry, attractive margins and returns on invested capital. Therefore, we were not surprised Beam became an acquisition target. |
| Google was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company reported strong third and fourth quarter 2013 results, with revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus estimates, as Google Websites and Core Google posted strong operating profit growth. Its shares also reacted positively preceding the fourth quarter 2013 earnings release when Google announced it was selling Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. Additionally, strong performance may be attributed to its acquisition of Nest Labs, a smart-home technology company that manufactures Wi-Fi-enabled, self-learning, programmable thermostats and smoke detectors. At the end of the Reporting Period, Google continued to be the dominant search engine, and we believe the company remains well positioned to monetize online advertising and the shift to mobile. The company also continues to invest in new product initiatives outside of its core search business, which could offer future growth opportunities. In our view, Google’s stock at the end of the Reporting Period was trading at a reasonable valuation for what we consider to be a high quality franchise with a strong long-term growth profile. |
| Regeneron Pharmaceuticals was another strong contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Periods. Its shares gained as its flagship treatment, Eylea, continued to be well received by the market. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the company and believed that in addition to Eylea, designed to treat macular degeneration, the company has a strong product pipeline for the treatment of high cholesterol and asthma. The company’s cholesterol drug in particular has received positive feedback in trials, and the responses from cardiologists suggest there is a large addressable market for the drug. We believed its valuation at the end of the Reporting Period presented a compelling risk/reward opportunity. |

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 YUM! Brands, which franchises and operates restaurants worldwide under well- known brands KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Little Sheep and East Dawning. Its stock had recently lagged the overall market and its peers, providing what we considered to be an attractive entry point to start building a position in the company. In our view, same-store sales have likely bottomed and should improve from here. We believe YUM! Brands is a high quality company positioned well to grow earnings per share and has a strong history of growing return on invested capital and being a good steward of shareholder capital. |
| We established a Fund position in eBay, which we believe represents one of the best risk/reward opportunities in the global e-commerce industry. Along with its payment engine business, PayPal, eBay has been playing offense following several years of rebuilding confidence as the company navigated a turnaround. The company, for example, has been innovating in both its Marketplaces and PayPal businesses and has also been positioning itself as the partner of choice for merchants. It appears that eBay continues to improve the user experience, and we believe the company is well positioned to take advantage of the secular trend toward e-commerce and growth of mobile usage. Further, in our view, eBay was attractively valued relative to both its peers and the broad market at the time of purchase. |
| Conversely, we sold the Fund’s positions in personal computer and mobile peripherals giant Apple and oilfield services company Schlumberger. While we still like the fundamentals of each company and believe there are catalysts for growth ahead, we decided to reallocate the capital into higher conviction ideas given the focused nature of this Fund. |
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 and health care increased and its allocations to energy, financials, industrials and information technology decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, consumer discretionary, telecommunication services and information technology sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, industrials, health care and energy. The Fund had no positions at all in the utilities or materials sectors on February 28, 2014. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in medium-sized growth companies with a market capitalization between $1 and $10 billion. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 (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 17.25%, 16.78%, 16.79%, 17.45%, 17.16%, 17.38% and 17.05%, respectively. These returns compare to the 18.08% 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 double-digit absolute gains, but both stock selection and sector allocation 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 challenging stock selection in the industrials, health care and consumer discretionary sectors. Effective stock selection in the consumer staples, information technology and energy 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 oncology-focused pharmaceuticals company ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, global clothing manufacturer PVH and health care revenue enhancement and recovery services provider HMS Holdings. |
| ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule drugs for the treatment of cancer, was a top detractor from performance. The company has developed two drug assets, one approved for chronic myeloid leukemia (“CML”) and the other a lung cancer drug still in development. During the fourth quarter of 2013, ARIAD Pharmaceutical’s stock declined after the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) placed a partial clinical hold on enrollment in all trials of Iclusig, the company’s approved CML drug, due to the risk of blood clots among participants. Subsequently, the company halted the phase 3 trial and active marketing of Iclusig. Given the unexpected material setback, we exited the Fund’s position in favor of other opportunities with what we considered to be more attractive risk/return profiles. |
| Shares of PVH declined as the company provided softer than expected earnings guidance for 2013 and 2014 given management’s cautious views on the global economy and global apparel sales, a headwind experienced by many retailers at the end of 2013. As a result, there were concerns that retail inventory levels were high, which may lead retailers to delay orders for PVH’s clothing. We believe this |

| dynamic is transient in nature and is an industry-wide issue as opposed to specific to PVH. In addition, unexpected expenses related to its Warnaco Group acquisition, which closed earlier in 2013, were a key factor in its guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed PVH remained one of the best positioned names in the industry, given we |
| expect it to reap benefits from its Warnaco Group acquisition and to benefit from its disproportionately large exposure to a recovery in Europe. In addition, we believe that should PVH’s higher margin brands, like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, grow faster than PVH’s heritage business, as we anticipate, the company’s operating profit growth may accelerate meaningfully. |
| HMS Holdings was a top detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Along with unfavorable fourth quarter 2013 earnings, there was significant uncertainty surrounding the status of the re-procurement of its large existing contract with Medicare. We believe lingering headwinds were due to negative news surrounding how Medicare was limiting the opportunity under the existing contract and that the actual awarding of the new contract was being dragged out. However, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company’s base business and felt the stock was discounting the full loss of its existing Medicare contract. If HMS Holdings were to retain the contract or win a larger portion of the opportunity, we believe we would see meaningful upside in the company’s earnings power and share price. |
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 coffee and coffeemakers company Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Internet radio service provider Pandora Media and fast-casual restaurant operator Chipotle Mexican Grill. |
| Shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, gained after the announcement that Coca-Cola would purchase a 10% stake in the company, while additionally entering into a 10-year agreement to explore producing Coca-Cola products for use with its Keurig Cold beverage system. The company also benefited from recent exposure to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Folgers and Costco brands along with a new sustainable business structure that segments U.S. and Canada operations. With positive free cash flows and strong earnings quality, we believe the company has a solid long-term growth opportunity, competitive margins, improving return on invested capital and a credible management team and board. (As of March 10, 2014, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters changed its company name to Keurig Green Mountain.) |
| The strong performance of Pandora Media was driven in part by strong growth in key audience metrics, including listener hours, share of total U.S. radio listening and number of active listeners. The company’s stock was further bolstered by the announcement of a new chief executive officer. Pandora Media also announced it would begin rolling out in-car advertising in the first quarter of 2014. In our view, the company is well positioned to monetize mobile and gain market share within the terrestrial radio market, as its active user base continues to grow. We believe the company’s differentiated business model, strong brand recognition and first-mover advantage, along with a continued shift to online advertising, should also help support growth. |
| Chipotle Mexican Grill contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Despite reporting third quarter 2013 earnings slightly below consensus, same-store sales growth exceeded expectations due to the roll-out of catering, better customer throughput during peak periods, increased advertising and the introduction of a new menu item, Sofritas (braised tofu). We expect the company to raise its prices in 2014, which should benefit same-store sales growth and margins going forward. We believe that Chipotle Mexican Grill is a high quality growth franchise with an attractive business model, effective management and strong brand recognition. At the end of the Reporting Period, we also believed the company was well positioned for long-term growth by increasing same-store sales and expanding its domestic and international store count. |

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 professional networking website LinkedIn. We believe LinkedIn has an attractive growth runway and that its website and content provide an example of disruptive technology that is early in its life cycle. (Disruptive technology is defined as new ways of doing things that disrupt or overturn traditional business methods and practices.) While the stock may not appear overly inexpensive on a number of valuation metrics, we believe it warrants a premium valuation, as the company could continue to exceed earnings expectations should it capture additional subscribers and develop its platform as we anticipate. |
| We initiated a Fund position in teen clothing and accessory discount retailer Five Below. This decision followed a third quarter 2013 earnings report that was below expectations, and we felt consequent selling pressure gave us an opportunity to establish the position at an attractive entry point. We took advantage of forward guidance that disappointed the market, especially for same-store sales growth that was in line with the company’s long-term target. We view this company as a high potential, early stage retailer. Five Below describes itself as the “five and dime for the iPhone generation.” Its dollar store-like concept and teenage target customer are differentiated in the retail industry, and we do not know of a competitor that shares its positioning. While its massive square footage growth is key to the opportunity, we also believe its margins have ample room to move higher, potentially driving earnings growth in excess of sales growth should be the business gain scale. |
| Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in Salesforce.com, a provider of enterprise cloud computing and social enterprise solutions. While we remain positive on the fundamentals of the company, given the stock’s strong performance in 2013, we decided to reallocate capital to opportunities with what we considered to have more attractive risk/reward profiles. |
| We sold the Fund’s position in Pioneer Natural Resources, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on onshore U.S. properties, primarily in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins. The company had reported mixed fourth quarter 2013 results. In our view, the company’s valuation seemed less attractive by the end of the Reporting Period, and we decided to exit the position in favor of higher conviction ideas. |
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 and health care increased and its allocations to financials and information technology decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the health care, telecommunication services and financials sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in industrials, information technology, consumer discretionary and consumer staples. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in energy and materials and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2014. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |

| 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. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| | STANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURNS3 |
| | For the period ended 12/31/13 | | One Year | | | Five Years | | Ten Years | | | Since Inception | | | Inception Date |
| | Class A | | | 24.59 | % | | 21.61% | | | 9.32 | % | | | 11.31% | | | 5/24/99 |
| | Class B | | | 25.39 | | | 21.84 | | | 9.27 | | | | 11.34 | | | 5/24/99 |

| | Class R | | | 31.51 | | | 22.69 | | | N/A | | | | 9.01 | | | 11/30/07 |
| 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 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.GSAMFUNDS.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. These companies have public stock market capitalizations within the outside range of the market capitalizations of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Growth Index and the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (as of February 28, 2014, the outside capitalization range of these companies was between $47 million and $27.5 billion). Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 (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 16.84%, 16.43%, 16.44%, 17.08%, 16.74%, 17.00% and 16.71%, respectively. These returns compare to the 19.17% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated double-digit absolute gains, but stock selection as a whole detracted from the Fund’s results. Sector allocation overall also detracted from its performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, albeit more modestly. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in industrials, health care and information technology detracted from the Fund’s relative results most during the Reporting Period. Having an underweighted allocation to the industrials sector, which outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Effective stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary 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 oncology-focused pharmaceuticals company ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, tile manufacturer Tile Shop Holdings and communications access systems and software provider Calix. |
| ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule drugs for the treatment of cancer, was a top detractor from performance. The company has developed two drug assets, one approved for chronic myeloid leukemia (“CML”) and the other a lung cancer drug still in development. During the fourth quarter of 2013, ARIAD Pharmaceutical’s stock declined after the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) placed a partial clinical hold on enrollment in all trials of Iclusig, the company’s approved CML drug, due to the risk of blood clots among participants. Subsequently, the company halted the phase 3 trial and active marketing of Iclusig. Given the unexpected material setback, we exited the Fund’s position in favor of other opportunities with what we considered to be more attractive risk/return profiles. |
36
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Shares of Tile Shop Holdings declined dramatically in November 2013 following allegations of fraud at the company. The allegations are that Tile Shop Holdings has been acquiring material amounts of product from a Chinese supplier that was owned and operated by the brother-in-law of the company’s chief executive officer. This relationship had not been disclosed, and the company has allegedly been using this business arrangement to manipulate earnings. While we believe the stock reaction may have been exaggerated, we decided to sell out of the Fund’s position as we believe this news called the company’s management into question. |
| Calix is a provider of broadband communications access systems and software for network architectures that enable communications service providers to connect their residential and business subscribers. The year 2013 was a difficult one for telecommunication spending, and the company’s shares were weak as a result. However, we believe this industry weakness is a short-term issue, and Calix remains well positioned, in our view, for market share gains, as we expect more telecommunication operators to invest in their broadband networks as they upgrade to the higher speeds that consumers demand. |
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 Internet radio service provider Pandora Media, premium fashion brand designer and marketer Kate Spade and clinical stage biopharmaceutical company Synageva BioPharma. |
| The strong performance of Pandora Media was driven in part by strong growth in key audience metrics, including listener hours, share of total U.S. radio listening and number of active listeners. The company’s stock was further bolstered by the announcement of a new chief executive officer. Pandora Media also announced it would begin rolling out in-car advertising in the first quarter of 2014. In our view, the company is well positioned to monetize mobile and gain market share within the terrestrial radio market, as its active user base continues to grow. We believe the company’s differentiated business model, strong brand recognition and first-mover advantage, along with a continued shift to online advertising, should also help support growth. |
| Kate Spade, formerly Fifth & Pacific Companies, was a strong performer during the Reporting Period. The company has a portfolio of retail-based premium fashion brands, and the stock was boosted by an impressive set of third quarter 2013 earnings driven largely by growth in its flagship brand, Kate Spade. In addition, investors reacted positively as the company finalized the sale of its Juicy Couture brand and announced the sale of another one of its non-core brands, Lucky Brand Jeans. We believe these sales should benefit Kate Spade and allow it to focus on its core Kate Spade brand. |
| Shares of Synageva BioPharma performed well on the back of positive clinical data points for its lead orphan disease drug to treat patients with lysosomal acid lipase deficiency. In addition, the company is advancing its pipeline of products addressing a variety of other orphan diseases, providing a number of other avenues for potential revenue growth. (An orphan disease is defined as a rare disease that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the U.S.) |
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 Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, a global cruise line operator. We believe the company is the fastest growing cruise operator with the highest visibility yet is one of the most attractively valued. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has a relatively young fleet and is adding new, more efficient ships to its fleet, which we believe should drive growth and improve margins over the next few years. In addition, the company has a strong management team, in our view, which is focused on increasing margins and returns. |
| We established a Fund position in Guidewire Software, a company in the software industry that manages property and casualty insurance premiums through its claims, policy and billing software. We believe Guidewire Software is well positioned for growth, as insurers start to modernize legacy core systems they have in place. In our opinion, Guidewire Software has an attractive recurring revenue business model, as it sells term licenses. |
| Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in Lazard, a financial advisory and asset management company. The stock had performed well, as the market had appreciated the improving margins of the business. However, we grew concerned about some of the fundamentals of the business, in |
37
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| particular about the risk of outflows from some of its funds given some challenging performance. Therefore, we decided to reallocate capital to opportunities with what we believed were more attractive risk/reward profiles. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in MICROS Systems, a software provider for the restaurant and hospitality industries. While we believe the company fundamentals remain healthy, the stock performed well in 2013, and so we sold out in favor of higher conviction ideas. |
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 increased and its allocation to energy decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the consumer discretionary, telecommunication services, financials, energy and health care sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in materials, information technology and industrials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer staples and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2014. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund’s
(the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 (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 18.86%, 18.47%, 18.33%, 19.14%, 18.75%, 18.94% and 18.67%, respectively. These returns compare to the 17.84% 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 and consumer staples sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an underweighted allocation to telecommunication services, which was the weakest sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted relative results. Challenging stock selection in materials, health care and consumer discretionary detracted from the Fund’s relative results most 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 specialty coffee and coffeemakers company Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, leading Internet search and technology company Google and fast-casual restaurant operator Chipotle Mexican Grill. |
| Shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, gained after the announcement that Coca-Cola would purchase a 10% stake in the company, while additionally entering into a 10-year agreement to explore producing Coca-Cola products for use with its Keurig Cold beverage system. The company also benefited from recent exposure to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Folgers and Costco brands along with a new sustainable business structure that segments U.S. and Canada operations. With positive free cash flows and strong earnings quality, we believe the company has a solid long-term growth opportunity, competitive margins, improving return on invested capital and a credible management team and board. (As of March 10, 2014, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters changed its company name to Keurig Green Mountain.) |
| Google was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company reported strong third and fourth quarter 2013 results, with revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus estimates, as Google Websites and Core Google posted strong operating profit growth. Its shares also reacted positively preceding the fourth quarter 2013 earnings release when Google announced it was selling Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. Additionally, strong performance may be attributed |
42
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| to its acquisition of Nest Labs, a smart-home technology company that manufactures Wi-Fi-enabled, self-learning, programmable thermostats and smoke detectors. At the end of the Reporting Period, Google continued to be the dominant search engine, and we believe the company remains well positioned to monetize online advertising and the shift to mobile. The company also continues to invest in new product initiatives outside of its core search business, which could offer future growth opportunities. In our view, Google’s stock at the end of the Reporting Period was trading at a reasonable valuation for what we consider to be a high quality franchise with a strong long-term growth profile. |
| Chipotle Mexican Grill contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Despite reporting third quarter 2013 earnings slightly below consensus, same-store sales growth exceeded expectations due to the roll-out of catering, better customer throughput during peak periods, increased advertising and the introduction of a new menu item, Sofritas (braised tofu). We expect the company to raise its prices in 2014, which should benefit same-store sales growth and margins going forward. We believe that Chipotle Mexican Grill is a high quality growth franchise with an attractive business model, effective management and strong brand recognition. At the end of the Reporting Period, we also believed the company was well positioned for long-term growth by increasing same-store sales and expanding its domestic and international store count. |
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 natural resources and production company Anadarko Petroleum, global clothing manufacturer PVH and wholesale club retailer Costco Wholesale. |
| Anadarko Petroleum detracted from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. Its shares declined following weak third quarter 2013 earnings and on a December 2013 ruling holding Anadarko Petroleum responsible for environmental and health claims related to Tronox, a chemical company subsidiary spun off by the company in 2005. We believe this setback is temporary, and our long-term investment thesis on the company remains unchanged. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Anadarko Petroleum was well positioned given its proven reserves, quality of asset portfolio and significant development opportunities. |
| Shares of PVH declined as the company provided softer than expected earnings guidance for 2013 and 2014 given management’s cautious views on the global economy and global apparel sales, a headwind experienced by many retailers at the end of 2013. As a result, there were concerns that retail inventory levels were high, which may lead retailers to delay orders for PVH’s clothing. We believe this dynamic is transient in nature and is an industry-wide issue as opposed to specific to PVH. In addition, unexpected expenses related to its Warnaco Group acquisition, which closed earlier in 2013, were a key factor in its guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed PVH remained one of the best positioned names in the industry, given we expect it to reap benefits from its Warnaco Group acquisition and to benefit from its disproportionately large exposure to a recovery in Europe. In addition, we believe that should PVH’s higher margin brands, like Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, grow faster than PVH’s heritage business, as we anticipate, the company’s operating profit growth may accelerate meaningfully. |
| Costco Wholesale detracted from the Fund’s relative results following two consecutive quarters of softer than expected earnings reports. Despite the near-term headwinds the company was facing, we remained positive on the company over the longer term. The annual membership fee charged by the company generates high margin recurring revenue while incentivizing members to shop at its stores. Membership renewal rates have remained high, even when the fees are raised. In our view, this shows that customers enjoy the shopping experience and value Costco Wholesale’s offering of bulk goods at attractive prices. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed that Costco Wholesale’s ability to operate profitably outside the U.S. provides it with an opportunity to open new stores and drive continued earnings growth. |

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 EMC, a leading information storage technologies company. EMC is a market leader in storage hardware and has the opportunity, in our view, to continue to take share of a relatively fragmented market. We believe the company is well positioned to take advantage of future technological changes, as its forward-looking management team has a history of embracing and driving change. Shares of EMC significantly lagged the market during the Reporting Period, but we believe its depressed valuation, coupled with multiple potential growth drivers and disciplined capital allocation, support an attractive risk/ reward opportunity. |
| We established a Fund position in YUM! Brands, which franchises and operates restaurants worldwide under well- known brands KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Little Sheep and East Dawning. Its stock had recently lagged the overall market and its peers, providing what we considered to be an attractive entry point to start building a position in the company. In our view, same-store sales have likely bottomed and should improve from here. We believe YUM! Brands is a high quality company positioned well to grow earnings per share and has a strong history of growing return on invested capital and being a good steward of shareholder capital. |
| Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in electronic payment company MasterCard during the Reporting Period. The stock performed well in 2013, and, in our view, was subsequently valued at a premium based on relatively high forward expectations. We also believe consensus estimates did not account for any adverse regulatory changes that could occur in an electronic payments industry that is rapidly changing. Therefore, we decided to reallocate capital into what we considered to be more attractive risk/reward opportunities. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in Salesforce.com, a provider of enterprise cloud computing and social enterprise solutions. While we remain positive on the fundamentals of the company, given the stock’s strong performance in 2013, we decided to reallocate capital to opportunities with what we considered to have more attractive risk/reward profiles. |
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 materials, consumer staples and health care increased and its allocations to information technology and energy decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials and health care sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in telecommunication services, materials, industrials and consumer staples. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in energy, information technology and consumer discretionary and had no position at all in utilities on February 28, 2014. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |

| 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 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.GSAMFUNDS.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.

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 Equity 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 Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Technology Tollkeeper Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2014 (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 22.81%, 22.34%, 22.34%, 23.06%, 22.79% and 22.91%, respectively. These returns compare to the 20.01% 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 consumer discretionary, information technology and financials boosted the Fund’s relative results as did having no exposure to the consumer staples sector, which lagged the NASDAQ Index during the Reporting Period. Detracting most from the Fund’s relative results was having no position in the health care sector, which significantly outpaced the NASDAQ 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 NASDAQ Index from positions in Internet radio service provider Pandora Media, leading Internet search and technology company Google and social networking website operator Facebook. |
| The strong performance of Pandora Media was driven in part by strong growth in key audience metrics, including listener hours, share of total U.S. radio listening and number of active listeners. The company’s stock was further bolstered by the announcement of a new chief executive officer. Pandora Media also announced it would begin rolling out in-car advertising in the first quarter of 2014. In our view, the company is well positioned to monetize mobile and gain market share within the terrestrial radio market, as its active user base continues to grow. We believe the company’s differentiated business model, strong brand recognition and first-mover advantage, along with a continued shift to online advertising, should also help support growth. |
| Google was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares rose after the company reported strong third and fourth quarter 2013 results, with revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus estimates, as Google Websites and Core Google posted strong operating profit growth. Its shares also reacted positively preceding the fourth quarter 2013 earnings release when Google announced it was selling Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. Additionally, strong performance may be attributed |
48
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| to its acquisition of Nest Labs, a smart-home technology company that manufactures Wi-Fi-enabled, self-learning, programmable thermostats and smoke detectors. At the end of the Reporting Period, Google continued to be the dominant search engine, and we believe the company remains well positioned to monetize online advertising and the shift to mobile. The company also continues to invest in new product initiatives outside of its core search business, which could offer future growth opportunities. In our view, Google’s stock at the end of the Reporting Period was trading at a reasonable valuation for what we consider to be a high quality franchise with a strong long-term growth profile. |
| Facebook was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Its shares performed well as the company continued to exceed analysts’ earnings expectations. Results were due largely to strong mobile advertising revenue, as advertiser demand has been catching up to mobile usage and driving solid growth. Facebook also announced it is exploring options for mobile payment products. We believe the company is well positioned to continue to grow in the mobile advertising space as usage shifts from desktop to mobile. Overall, we remain positive on the company and believe the stock was trading, at the end of the Reporting Period, at a reasonable valuation, supported by its industry leading position and considerable opportunity to monetize its extensive user base. |
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 professional networking website LinkedIn, communications access systems and software provider Calix and data and information management software applications provider CommVault Systems. |
| A new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, shares of LinkedIn declined following fourth quarter 2013 earnings results that were below expectations, despite generally positive analyst reactions to its $120 million acquisition of Bright, a data analytics company that matches job seekers with employers. While the stock showed signs of controversy, we believe LinkedIn has an attractive growth runway and that its website and content provide an example of disruptive technology that is early in its life cycle. (Disruptive technology is defined as new ways of doing things that disrupt or overturn traditional business methods and practices.) While the stock may not appear overly inexpensive on a number of valuation metrics, we believe it warrants a premium valuation, as the company could continue to exceed earnings expectations should it capture additional subscribers and develop its platform as we anticipate. |
| Calix is a provider of broadband communications access systems and software for network architectures that enable communications service providers to connect their residential and business subscribers. The year 2013 was a difficult one for telecommunication spending, and the company’s shares were weak as a result. However, we believe this industry weakness is a short-term issue, and Calix remains well positioned, in our view, for market share gains, as we expect more telecommunication operators to invest in their broadband networks as they upgrade to the higher speeds the consumer demands. |
| Shares of CommVault Systems fell on investor concerns that deferred revenue was lower than estimates, as a large deal related to Dell was recognized and rolled off its balance sheet. Despite this short-term issue, the company accelerated license growth and beat consensus revenue estimates. In our view, the market was underappreciating the potential of the company’s new solutions platform, Simpana 10. We believe this product expands the company’s addressable market and may drive revenue growth and margin expansion going forward. |
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 LinkedIn, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in ServiceNow, a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) provider of information technology service management software. Its services include a suite of applications built on a proprietary platform that automates workflow and integrates related business processes. We believe ServiceNow is a disruptive share gainer in the sizable information technology operations management software industry. The company recently introduced and has had early success in a number of software modules, which we believe could become a greater portion of its revenues as the company penetrates its existing customer base. In addition, only a modest percentage of Global 2000 organizations currently use ServiceNow’s applications, indicating, we believe, that there is a significant opportunity to expand its |
49
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| customer base. At the time of purchase, we believe the stock was attractively valued relative to its peers, despite a higher growth rate and the disruptive and broad nature of its solutions. (Global 2000 organizations are those listed in an annual ranking of the top 2,000 public companies in the world by Forbes. The ranking is based on a mix of sales, profit, assets and market value.) |
| Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in MICROS Systems, a software provider for the restaurant and hospitality industries. While we believe the company fundamentals remain healthy, the stock performed well in 2013, and so we sold out in favor of higher conviction ideas. |
| We sold the Fund’s position in Juniper Networks, which designs and sells products and services that provide customers with network infrastructure. Shares of Juniper Networks rose following its announcement that Elliot Management, an activist hedge fund, had taken a stake in the company. We decided to take profits given what we consider to be the uncertainty and potential challenges created from an activist getting involved with the business. |
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, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s sector weightings relative to the NASDAQ Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, 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, 2014. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | On December 27, 2013, Jonathan A. Neitzell, Lawrence Tankel and Michael DeSantis, CFA, were added as portfolio managers of the Fund, joining Steven M. Barry and Jeffrey Rabinowitz, CFA. |

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 Equity Investment Team and the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity 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 Equity Investment Team and the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity 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, 2014 (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 15.27%, 14.79%, 15.48%, 15.42% and 15.06%, respectively. These returns compare to the 15.07% 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 telecommunication services, energy and financials 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 health care and materials, attributable to weak stock selection in each and to having an underweighted allocation to materials, which outpaced the S&P 500® 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 S&P 500® Index from positions in aerospace and defense company Boeing, premium spirits company Beam and wireless tower company SBA Communications. |
| Boeing’s commercial and defense businesses drove positive results during the Reporting Period, supported by strong rates of production and order growth acceleration. Further, Boeing raised its full year earnings guidance during the fourth quarter of 2013 and announced its intention to increase production rates based on demand for the 787 family and the seemingly promising launch of the 787-10. In December 2013, the company raised its dividend and increased share repurchase authorization to nearly $11 billion over the next two to three years. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe that Boeing maintained a strong backlog, which provides high visibility in the company’s outlook. |
| Shares of Beam gained as a leading Japanese whiskey company, Suntory Holdings, announced it had reached an agreement to purchase Beam. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014 pending approval. It is always encouraging when the value of one of the Fund’s holdings is recognized by a strategic player within the industry, and our investment thesis plays out through an acquisition. We believe Beam is a high quality growth business given it is operating in a fragmented industry with improving secular tailwinds, high barriers to entry, attractive margins and |

| returns on invested capital. Therefore, we were not surprised Beam became an acquisition target. |
| During the Reporting Period, SBA Communications saw strong growth in its core leasing revenue, and we believe improving investor sentiment surrounding the industry was a tailwind for the stock as well. In our view, the fundamentals of the tower industry remain robust and should continue to drive several years of growth in SBA Communications’ business, both domestically and internationally. We further believe the rollout of high speed LTE (long-term evolution) wireless service, which is currently driving the U.S. leasing business, should be followed by several years of growth from investment in adding capacity to these initial networks. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained conviction in the tower companies over the long term, as demand for mobile content shows no sign of slowing, and wireless carriers are increasingly adding capacity to support higher usage, network upgrades and improved coverage. |
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 oncology-focused pharmaceuticals company ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, natural/ organic grocery retailer Whole Foods Market and wholesale club retailer Costco Wholesale. |
| ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small-molecule drugs for the treatment of cancer, was a top detractor from performance. The company has developed two drug assets, one approved for chronic myeloid leukemia (“CML”) and the other a lung cancer drug still in development. During the fourth quarter of 2013, ARIAD Pharmaceutical’s stock declined after the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) placed a partial clinical hold on enrollment in all trials of Iclusig, the company’s approved CML drug, due to the risk of blood clots among participants. Subsequently, the company halted the phase 3 trial and active marketing of Iclusig. Given the unexpected material setback, we exited the Fund’s position in favor of other opportunities with what we considered to be more attractive risk/return profiles. |
| Shares of Whole Foods Market declined after the company reported lower than expected comparable same-store sales growth due to a combination of lower inflation, new store sales cannibalization and a generally weaker consumer environment. Despite the near-term overhang, we believe Whole Foods Market should maintain its dominant market position and continue to grow as it invests ahead of competitors in opening new stores and increasing its product selection. We further believe the company can leverage its position as the largest purchaser of organic foods in the country to become more competitive on price and appeal to a broader customer base. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Whole Foods Market was attractively valued for a company with strong market share and an opportunity to generate above average growth relative to its peers. (Sales cannibalization is defined as intra-organizational sales diversion.) |
| Costco Wholesale detracted from the Fund’s relative results following two consecutive quarters of softer than expected earnings reports. Despite the near-term headwinds the company was facing, we remained positive on the company over the longer term. The annual membership fee charged by the company generates high margin recurring revenue while incentivizing members to shop at its stores. Membership renewal rates have remained high, even when the fees are raised. In our view, this shows that customers enjoy the shopping experience and value Costco Wholesale’s offering of bulk goods at attractive prices. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed that Costco Wholesale’s ability to operate profitably outside the U.S. provides it with an opportunity to open new stores and drive continued earnings growth. |
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 YUM! Brands, which franchises and operates restaurants worldwide under well- known brands KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Little Sheep and East Dawning. Its stock had recently lagged the overall market and its peers, providing what we considered to be an attractive entry point to start building a position in the company. In our view, same-store sales have likely bottomed and should improve from here. We believe YUM! Brands is a high quality company positioned well to grow earnings per share and has a strong history of growing return on invested capital and being a good steward of shareholder capital. |
| We established a Fund position in Colgate-Palmolive. Primarily, Colgate-Palmolive produces and sells consumer |
55
PORTFOLIO RESULT
| products, including oral health care, personal and home care and pet nutrition. The company has significant exposure to markets outside the U.S. and is well positioned, in our view, to benefit from the long-term improvement of global hygiene and health and wellness. We believe that as emerging and growth markets further develop, the consumption of oral health care products is likely to increase, with Colgate-Palmolive a likely long-term beneficiary. We also are positive on the company’s management team and believe they have a demonstrated history of enhancing shareholder return through dividends and share repurchases. |
| Conversely, we eliminated the Fund’s position in consumer goods company Procter & Gamble during the Reporting Period. While we are positive on the return of the company’s former chief executive officer, announced earlier in 2013, we believe much of the good news and growth initiatives were already priced into the company’s shares. Therefore, we decided to sell the position and reallocate the capital into higher conviction companies. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in electronic payment company MasterCard during the Reporting Period. The stock performed well in 2013, and, in our view, was subsequently valued at a premium based on relatively high forward expectations. We also believe consensus estimates did not account for any adverse regulatory changes that could occur in an electronic payments industry that is rapidly changing. Therefore, we decided to reallocate capital into what we considered to be more attractive risk/reward opportunities. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to utilities increased and its allocations to health care, industrials and information technology decreased compared to the S&P 500® Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2014? |
A | | At the end of February 2014, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P 500® Index in financials and information technology. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P 500® Index in materials, industrials, utilities and consumer staples and was rather neutrally weighted to the S&P 500® Index in consumer discretionary, energy, health care and telecommunication services. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |

| 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 S&P 500® Index is the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index of 500 stocks, an unmanaged index of common stock prices. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| | Class R | | | 32.62 | | | 14.02 | | 11/30/09 |
| 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 C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
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.GSAMFUNDS.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.

| (b) | | Assumes investment at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the net asset value at the end of the period and no sales or redemption charges.

| (d) | | Reflects income recognized from a special dividend which amounted to $0.01 per share and 0.09% of average net assets. |
| (f) | | Reflects income recognized from special dividends which amounted to $0.04 per share and 0.17% of average net assets. |
| (g) | | Portfolio turnover rates exclude portfolio securities received as a result of in-kind redemptions. |

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. 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. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. 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 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) 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 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.

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 of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), 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, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, 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.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“netting”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. ASU 2011-11 was amended by ASU No. 2013-01, clarifying which investments and transactions are subject to the netting disclosure. The scope of the disclosure requirements is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. This information is intended to enable users of the Funds’ financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the Funds’ financial position.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
A MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. A MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. A MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty.
If the seller defaults, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund are less than the repurchase price and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, a court could determine that a Fund’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.

(2) | | Net amount represents the net amount due from the counterparty in the event of a default based on the contractual set-off rights under the agreement. |
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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.

Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding transfer agent fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and 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.

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2014, the Funds participated in a $780,000,000 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 $220,000,000, for a total of up to $1,000,000,000. 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, 2014, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 28, 2014, Goldman Sachs earned $674, $3, $3,388, $12,397 and $3,564 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Capital Growth, Flexible Cap Growth, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth and Technology Tollkeeper Funds, respectively.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Growth | | | Concentrated Growth | | | Flexible Cap Growth | | | Focused Growth | | | Growth Opportunities | | | Small/Mid Cap Growth | | | Strategic Growth | | | Technology Tollkeeper | | | U.S Equity | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 663,524,573 | | | $ | 129,531,088 | | | $ | 10,404,317 | | | $ | 17,321,687 | | | $ | 3,815,471,398 | | | $ | 1,650,817,108 | | | $ | 321,215,710 | | | $ | 303,956,284 | | | $ | 11,687,562 | |

Gross unrealized loss | | | (6,494,200 | ) | | | (1,125,266 | ) | | | (152,851 | ) | | | (106,158 | ) | | | (49,571,245 | ) | | | (27,631,376 | ) | | | (1,981,644 | ) | | | (2,447,739 | ) | | | (176,861 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | $ | 274,925,148 | | | $ | 47,742,078 | | | $ | 4,530,865 | | | $ | 2,183,425 | | | $ | 1,641,701,724 | | | $ | 534,509,555 | | | $ | 103,966,231 | | | $ | 147,653,176 | | | $ | 2,981,488 | |
The differences 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.
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.
Non-Diversification Risk — Each of the Concentrated Growth and Focused Growth Funds 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.

7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 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, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
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, 2014 (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, 2013 through February 28, 2014.
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.
