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 Asia Equity Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in Asian issuers (excluding Japanese issuers). The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. Because of its exposure to Asian issuers, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events that may occur in Asian countries. 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. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all.
The Goldman Sachs BRIC Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of equity investments in Brazil, Russia, India and China (“BRIC countries”) or in issuers that participate in the markets of the BRIC countries. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/ or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. Because of its exposure to the BRIC countries, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events that may occur in those countries. Because the Fund may invest heavily in specific sectors, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting such sectors. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” mutual 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 Emerging Markets Equity Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in emerging country issuers. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. The securities markets of emerging countries have less government regulation and are subject to less extensive accounting and financial reporting requirements than the markets of more developed countries. Because the Fund may invest heavily in specific sectors, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting such sectors. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all.
The Goldman Sachs N-11 Equity Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of equity investments that are tied economically to the “N-11 countries” or in issuers that participate in the markets of the following N-11 countries: Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey and Vietnam. While Iran is among the N-11 countries, the Fund will not invest in issuers organized under the laws of Iran, or domiciled in Iran, or in certain other issuers as necessary to comply

with U.S. economic sanctions against Iran. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. Such securities are also subject to foreign custody risk. Because of its exposure to the N-11 countries, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events that may occur in those countries. The N-11 countries generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets than traditional emerging markets countries, and, as a result, the risks of investing in these countries are magnified. Because the Fund may invest heavily in specific sectors, the Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting such sectors. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a specific industry (only in the event that that industry represents 20% or more of the Fund’s benchmark index at the time of investment), subjecting it to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting that industry. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” mutual 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.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging
Markets Equity Funds
Market Review
Emerging markets equities declined during the six-month period ended April 30, 2014 (the “Reporting Period”). The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (gross, USD, unhedged) (the “MSCI EM Index”) posted a return of -2.98%.* Emerging markets equities significantly lagged developed markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (net) Index (unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”), as concerns over slowing economic growth, high inflation and election uncertainty weighed on many of the growth and emerging markets during the Reporting Period. Also contributing to weak performance of emerging market equities during the Reporting Period was the December 2013 announcement by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) that it would begin tapering its asset purchases in January 2014. The announcement ended seven months of speculation about the beginning of the end of ultra-loose monetary policy that had fueled many emerging market economies in recent years. Further, Argentina’s currency devaluation in January 2014 rippled through emerging market currency and equity markets, forcing many central banks to hike interest rates, which further pressured equity markets.
Looking at some key individual emerging markets more specifically, Chinese equities struggled during most of the Reporting Period amidst renewed concerns about China’s shadow banking system, credit quality and decelerating growth. The Russian equity market plunged during the Reporting Period due to the rapidly escalating geopolitical situation in Ukraine. Weakness in Latin American equity markets persisted into early 2014, though the region began to rebound later in the Reporting Period. After a slow start, Indian equities also rallied sharply later in the Reporting Period, as polls suggested that the Bharatiya Janata Party (“BJP”), which is perceived as business-friendly, is likely to win in the country’s upcoming election. Protest movements increased the political risk of some countries, such as Turkey, which was one of the worst performing markets during the Reporting Period. At the other end of the spectrum, Indonesia’s equity market rallied such that it was one of the best performing markets during the Reporting Period, largely due to an improving current account balance and strong foreign flows.
For the Reporting Period overall, the energy sector declined particularly sharply, reflecting a mix of geopolitical and economic issues in big energy-producing countries, such as Russia and Brazil. In line with global trends, information technology was the best performing sector in the MSCI EM Index during the Reporting Period, largely due to increased merger and acquisition activity.
Looking Ahead
During the Reporting Period, emerging markets equities underperformed developed markets equities, as many developing markets faced macroeconomic headwinds, negative headlines and country-specific challenges. We fully acknowledge these medium-term factors—including the end of Chinese double-digit economic growth, the impact of quantitative easing tapering on broader equity markets, currency volatility and upcoming elections in India and Brazil—and incorporate them in our bottom-up fundamental analysis.

MARKET REVIEW
The macro concerns that pressured emerging markets equities during the Reporting Period have not changed our longer-term positive view of emerging markets equity fundamentals. We believe the structural story is still intact and the domestically-focused growth of the emerging markets should continue to drive strong returns in their equity markets over the long term. Finally, we believe the sell-off amongst emerging markets equities, which, at the end of the Reporting Period, were trading at a significant discount to developed markets on a forward-looking price/earnings ratio basis, forms an attractive entry point for long-term investors.
As bottom-up fundamental investors, we constantly look across a broad range of sectors, countries and market capitalizations to identify what we believe are the most compelling investment opportunities trading at attractive valuations and that may outperform over the market cycle. In particular, we look for companies with strong or improving cash flows and sustainable competitive advantages that should be able to withstand inflationary pressures on their margins while taking advantage of secular growth themes in the growth and emerging markets. Finally, we seek to invest in companies with strong corporate governance track records, especially with respect to their treatment of minority shareholders. With the uncertainty of the markets anticipated to continue, we believe our focus on companies with strong or improving fundamentals and secular growth opportunities should serve our shareholders well.
As always, we maintain our focus on seeking high-quality equity investments trading at what we believe to be compelling valuations and intend to stay true to our long-term discipline as we seek to navigate potentially volatile markets ahead.

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective as of the close of business on April 25, 2014, the Goldman Sachs China Equity Fund was merged into the Goldman Sachs Asia Equity Fund. The reorganization was recommended by Goldman Sachs Asset Management International in connection with an effort to optimize the Goldman Sachs Funds and eliminate overlapping products. The Goldman Sachs Asia Equity Fund (the “Fund”) acquired all of the assets of the Goldman Sachs China Equity Fund — which totaled approximately $25.1 million as of April 25, 2014 — and the Goldman Sachs China Equity Fund was subsequently liquidated and shareholders of the Goldman Sachs China Equity Fund became shareholders of the Fund. Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Asia ex Japan Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Asia Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.41%, 0.00%, 0.06% and 0.59%, respectively. These returns compare to the -0.94% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index (net, USD, unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same time period. During the period from inception on February 28, 2014 to April 30, 2014, the Fund’s Class IR Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -2.99%. This compares to the 1.73% cumulative total return of the Index during the same time period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Index during the Reporting Period can be primarily attributed to individual stock selection. From a country perspective, effective stock selection in China, South Korea, the Philippines and India contributed most positively. Stock selection in Indonesia and Thailand detracted. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Index from holdings in Bloomage Biotechnology, Hanssem and Canadian Solar. |
| The top individual stock contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period was Bloomage Biotechnology, which engages in the manufacture and sale of a diversified portfolio of hyaluronic acid (“HA”) products. The company began to diversify its business to end products, such as HA dermal fillers, which are used in cosmetic surgeries, for which we believe there could be significant demand that could drive volume growth over the next decade. |
| Another significant contributor was Hanssem, which primarily engages in the manufacture and distribution of kitchen and interior furniture. South Korean-listed Hanssem reported strong first quarter 2014 sales revenue growth and gained market share on effective branding and on its strong distribution channel strategy. The company particularly benefited from a shift in consumer behavior toward selecting key brand name products over the non-brand market. In our view, major competitors of Hanssem have not yet been successful reading this change in the market, causing them to lose market share. |
| Canadian Solar designs, manufactures and sells solar module products. The company reported revenues at the higher end of its preannouncement and provided strong 2014 shipment guidance. Its stock also performed well as key growth markets accounted for a larger than expected proportion of its shipments. |

PORTFOLIO 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 the Index were positions in distressed asset management company China Cinda Asset Management (“Cinda”), Chinese integrated oilfield equipment and service provider Hilong Holdings and Indonesian integrated textile manufacturer Sri Rejeki Isman. |
| A position in Cinda detracted most from the Fund’s results. The stock’s pullback during the Reporting Period was due primarily to concerns about property price weakness impacting the value of its assets. We believe the negative sentiment may have been overdone given that Cinda’s acquisition costs of these assets were attractive, in our view, leaving substantial room for potential profit realization. Indeed, we maintained the Fund’s position in Cinda because we believe the company has a strong growth opportunity in the coming years, as banks and non-financial companies in China are expected to increase the securitization and sales of their non-performing loans and receivables in order to strengthen their balance sheets. We believe this provides a robust business opportunity for distressed asset managers such as Cinda. |
| Hilong Holdings is one of China’s leading non-state-owned integrated oilfield equipment and services providers, with a focus on drill pipes, line pipes, oil country tubular goods (“OCTG”) coatings and oilfield services. We believe its stock underperformed during the Reporting Period, as corruption investigations of senior management of its key domestic customer, PetroChina, somewhat impacted its drill pipe sales during the second half of 2013. |
| Sri Rejeki Isman is the largest integrated textile manufacturer in Indonesia’s consumer discretionary sector. We initially liked the company because we believed that Indonesia, with its low labor costs, young demographic profile and low tariffs, was well positioned to benefit from a shift by retailers to production in low-cost economies and to reduce their dependence on Chinese manufacturers. Positive macro tailwinds, such as a weak rupiah and China’s labor cost hikes, further affirmed our investment thesis. However, we were concerned about the company’s lack of management depth, and the company founder’s sudden and unfortunate death without any proper succession plans significantly increased our concern about the company’s ability to make sizable deals with global brands and caused its stock price to decline. We thus exited the Fund’s position in the company. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index were materials, information technology and financials. Stock selection proved particularly effective in materials. Having an overweight allocation to information technology, which strongly outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, also added value. Financials was a strong contributor based on both effective stock selection and having an underweighted exposure to the poorly performing sector. The biggest detractors from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were the consumer discretionary, health care and industrials sectors, each due primarily to poor stock selection. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives to hedge positions or as part of an active management strategy, but we used index futures on an opportunistic basis to ensure the Fund remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We established a Fund position in KT, a South Korean telecommunication services company. KT operates in the mobile, broadband Internet, telephone, wireless broadband Internet and Internet protocol television industries. With the appointment of its new chief executive officer, Mr. Hwang Chang-gyu, the man who built Samsung’s semiconductor business, we believe KT could transition into a corporation from a state-owned enterprise. We believe Mr. Hwang may bring back the company’s core competency in telecommunication operations, which contrasts with the ex-management’s unsuccessful expansion of non-core operations. We believe under the new leadership KT will make restructuring efforts throughout 2014, some of which may include realignment of its operations, disposal of idle, non-performing assets and reasonable reductions in advertising and promotions spending. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| We also established a Fund position in Silergy, a Taiwan-based information technology company. Silergy engages in the manufacture and sale of power management integrated circuits. The company has already penetrated the supply chains of light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting, tablets, laptops, personal computers, LED television, branded smartphone clients and security surveillance. The company is also attempting to gain new clients in other applications through its integrated circuit distributors. We expect Silergy to enjoy strong sales growth following the increase of new products and localization of component purchases in China. We further expect Silergy’s earnings performance to drive its share price performance going forward. |
| In addition to those sales already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in NCSoft, a South Korea-based online video and mobile game development company. We liked NCSoft when it decided to float one of its games, Blade and Soul, in the Chinese market despite some failures from similar trials in China several years ago. Because of Blade and Soul’s improved game content and the strong marketing power of NCSoft’s publisher, Tencent, the initial results were promising. However, we remained cautious to interpret this data, as stock prices and investor sentiment for game makers are often highly influenced by the performance of new games. As evidenced by its declining user base, Blade and Soul’s spectacular launch did not last long and its user traffic declined. We thus sold the Fund’s position in NCSoft. |
| We sold the Fund’s position in Anhui Conch Cement, a Chinese company in the materials sector that engages in the production and sale of clinker and cement products. In our view, most of the company’s positive attributes had already been priced into its stock following relative outperformance. Due to sluggish industry demand growth, we expect a deceleration in price increases and believe the company’s earnings growth peaked at the end of 2013. With earnings growth losing momentum, we saw more downside risk at Anhui Conch Cement’s then-current valuation. Thus, as our investment thesis had played out, we took a profit and eliminated the position. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most sector weights are usually established within a relatively narrow range from the Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to financials, consumer discretionary and utilities increased, and its allocations to information technology, industrials and telecommunication services decreased. |
| Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations to China, the Philippines and India increased, and its exposure to South Korea, Thailand and Singapore decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweighted exposure to China, the Philippines and India compared to the Index. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted exposure relative to the Index to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Thailand and had rather neutral exposure relative to the Index in Indonesia. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Index in the information technology, consumer discretionary, utilities and health care sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Index in the financials, telecommunication services and energy sectors and was relatively neutrally weighted compared to the Index in materials, consumer staples and industrials. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, Eddie Perkin, managing director and chief investment officer (“CIO”) of International and Emerging Markets Equity and a lead portfolio manager of the Fund, left the firm. The Fund continues to be managed by Kevin Ohn, CFA, Managing Director, who has managed the Fund since 2013, and Alina Chiew, CFA, Managing Director, who has managed the Fund since 2011. |

| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The MSCI AC (All Country) Asia ex-Japan Index (net, USD, unhedged) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of Asia, excluding Japan. The MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan Index consists of the following 10 developed and emerging market country indices: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. This index is net of dividends re-invested after deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. This series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to nonresident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI Barra uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. The Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds). |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.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 Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs BRIC Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -5.36%, -5.69%, -5.21% and -5.29%, respectively. These returns compare to the -6.78% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI BRIC Index (net, USD, unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated disappointing absolute returns but outperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period. Weak stock selection and a modest overweighting in the poorly performing Russian equity market and weak stock selection and a modest underweighting in the better performing Brazilian equity market detracted most. The Fund benefited from effective stock selection in China and India as well as from having a modest underweight to China and a modest overweight to India. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Chinese automation control systems manufacturer Hollysys Automation Technology, Brazilian insurance and brokerage holding company BB Seguridade and Chinese Internet service company Tencent Holdings. |
| Hollysys Automation Technology is China’s leading manufacturer of automation control systems, including railway signaling systems. It is not a component of the Index and thus its strong performance during the Reporting Period made it a top contributor to Fund results. The stock outperformed the Index, as market participants focused on its expanding order book in the industrial automation and railway signaling businesses. Its management has guided to robust net profit growth for its fiscal year 2014. |
| BB Seguridade performed well following better than expected 2013 results and positive 2014 return on equity guidance. The company was able to significantly increase its market share in new pension contribution and insurance premiums by leveraging the existing client base of Banco do Brasil, its parent company. |
| Tencent Holdings is an Internet service company in China engaged in social networks, web portals, e-commerce and multiplayer online games. Tencent Holdings’ stock performed well during the Reporting Period, as its introduction of a new version of WeChat — its proprietary social messaging platform, saw the monetization of its mobile platform in 2013. Also, subscriber growth for WeChat was strong in both its domestic and overseas markets. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Index were positions in Brazilian bank Itau, Russian bank Sberbank and Russian retailer Magnit. |
| Itau detracted from relative results because the Fund held an underweighted position in this strongly performing Brazilian bank. However, we had maintained an underweight exposure to Brazilian banks broadly in the Fund given our concerns related to necessary adjustments at the macro level after the nation’s elections and the effects of the deteriorating asset quality of public sector banks on the industry and the Brazilian economy. Itau, Brazil’s second biggest bank by assets, performed well after reporting stronger than expected fourth quarter 2013 results and raising its 2014 guidance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, and Magnit, Russia’s biggest retailer, performed poorly during the Reporting Period due to heightened tensions in Ukraine and worries around potential sanctions imposed by the West. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Having an overweight to the strongly performing information technology sector boosted the Fund’s results most during the Reporting Period. Effective stock selection in information technology, financials and utilities also contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. In information technology, the Fund’s position in Hollysys Automation Technology, mentioned earlier, was the strongest contributor to relative performance within the sector. In financials, the Fund’s holding in BB Seguridade, already mentioned, was a particularly strong performer. In utilities, a position in Enn Energy, which operates and manages gas pipeline infrastructure and also engages in the sale and distribution of piped and bottled gas in China, was the largest contributor. |
| Conversely, weak stock selection in the industrials, consumer staples and energy sectors detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the Reporting Period. At an individual stock level, the Fund’s position in Global Trans Investment, a Russian rail freight transportation service provider, was the largest detractor within the industrials sector. Within consumer staples, the Fund’s position in Magnit, mentioned earlier, detracted most from performance during the Reporting Period. In energy, the Fund’s holding in Lukoil, Russia’s second-largest oil company, detracted most from returns. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund gained exposure to select stocks through equity-linked notes and participatory notes. We used index futures on an opportunistic basis to ensure the Fund remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We opted to change the Fund’s positioning within the financials sector during the Reporting Period. We eliminated the Fund’s position in BM&F Bovespa, Latin America’s biggest exchange operator. The company had revised its volume guidance for 2014, which we believed would have a significant impact on its profitability, as 80% of its revenues are non-recurrent and depend on volumes. The company also revised its capital expenditures guidance upwards. Further, BM&F Bovespa had an outstanding tax dispute appeal with the authorities, and a potential setback weighed on its stock price. Within China, we trimmed the Fund’s position in Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (“ICBC”), the world’s largest bank by market capitalization and one of the largest commercial banks in China. We trimmed the Fund’s position in the stock to reduce exposure to Chinese banks given headwinds in the form of slower economic growth and competition from Internet finance. Conversely, we established new Fund positions in ICICI Bank and Axis Bank. Both are commercial banks and are the second and third biggest lenders in India, respectively. We believe the banks are well poised to benefit from the prospect of economic recovery and falling interest rates in India, anticipated to be realized later in 2014. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most sector weights are usually established within a narrow range from the Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index in health care, consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to financials, energy and telecommunication services decreased. |
| Resulting from various stock selection decisions, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index to India and Russia increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to China and more modestly so to Brazil decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweighted exposure to India and Russia and underweighted exposure to Brazil and China relative to the Index. |
| From a sector perspective, the Fund had overweighted allocations to information technology, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and health care compared to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted exposure to the energy, telecommunication services, financials, utilities and materials |

| sectors and was rather neutrally weighted relative to the Index in the industrials sector. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, Eddie Perkin, managing director and chief investment officer (“CIO”) of International and Emerging Markets Equity and a lead portfolio manager of the Fund, left the firm. The Fund continues to be managed by Alina Chiew, CFA, Managing Director, who has managed the Fund since 2010. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 0.19%, -0.15%, -0.22%, 0.45%, 0.11% and 0.32%, respectively. These returns compare to the -2.98% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (gross, USD, unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated disappointing absolute returns but outperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period. Effective stock selection in China, South Korea and India benefited the Fund’s performance most. Having an overweighted allocation to India, which significantly outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted the Fund’s results. Such positive contributors were only partially offset by the detracting effect of weak stock selection and allocation positioning in Russia, South Africa and Brazil. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Hanssem, Bajaj Finance and Interpark. |
| The top individual stock contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period was Hanssem, which primarily engages in the manufacture and distribution of kitchen and interior furniture. South Korean-listed Hanssem reported strong first quarter 2014 sales revenue growth and gained market share on effective branding and on its strong distribution channel strategy. The company particularly benefited from a shift in consumer behavior toward selecting key brand name products over the non-brand market. In our view, major competitors of Hanssem have not yet been successful reading this change in the market, causing them to lose market share. |
| Bajaj Finance, a non-banking finance company engaged in consumer finance, small and medium enterprises (“SME”) finance and commercial lending in India, contributed positively to the Fund’s returns. The company reported a strong set of results, performing well in terms of loan growth, margins and asset quality. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to like the company’s return ratios and valuations relative to its peers. |
| Interpark is a South Korea-based on-line retailer operating an Internet-based shopping mall. Its stock performed well during the Reporting Period, as the company reported better than expected results and continued to grow revenues ahead of the industry average. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Index were positions in Magnit, Lukoil and Haier Electronics. |
| Magnit, Russia’s biggest retailer, and Lukoil, Russia’s second largest oil producer, performed poorly during the Reporting Period due to heightened tensions in Ukraine and worries around potential sanctions imposed by the West. |
| Haier Electronics is a Hong Kong-based home appliance manufacturer focusing on washing machines and water heaters. Its stock fell after the company posted a decline in its washing machine segment due to a weak macro environment and dampened consumer confidence. |

Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Index, strong stock selection within the financials, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance. Having an overweighted allocation to the information technology sector, which significantly outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted the Fund’s results. In financials, the Fund’s holding in Bajaj Finance, already mentioned, was the strongest contributor. In information technology, the Fund’s position in Hollysys Automation Technology, China’s leading manufacturer of automation control systems, including railway signaling systems, was an outstanding performer. In consumer discretionary, the Fund’s holding in Hanssem, mentioned earlier, boosted Fund results most. |
| Conversely, the only two sectors to detract from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were consumer staples and health care, each primarily driven by weak stock selection. In consumer staples, the Fund’s position in Magnit, already mentioned, was a large detractor from relative returns. In health care, the Fund’s position in Netcare Limited, the largest provider of private health care in South Africa, was the biggest disappointment. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund used equity-linked notes and participatory notes to gain exposure to select stocks. We used index futures on an opportunistic basis to ensure the Fund remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Within the industrials sector in South Korea, we initiated a Fund position in Hanjin Kal, a holding company with subsidiaries in the South Korean travel industry. We believe the company may be a direct beneficiary of strong tourism in South Korea and that its recent restructuring should improve transparency of the company and crystalize its value. |
| Within the consumer discretionary sector in South Korea, we added to the Fund’s position in Hanssem, mentioned earlier. We increased the Fund’s position in Hanssem because we believe the company has good growth prospects based on what we consider to be its strong brand, focus on superior design and material quality, well diversified business-to-consumer distribution channels and execution capability of its management. Additionally, we expect a recovery in the property market in 2014 to help Hanssem’s performance. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in Naver, a South Korean information technology company engaged in Internet search engines and online computer games. In Japan, key operational metrics, such as per-user-expenditure, ad rate-per-unit time and number of games launched, were showing signs of a slowdown, prompting us to eliminate the position. |
| Within the consumer staples sector in Brazil, we trimmed the Fund’s position in beverage company Ambev during the Reporting Period. The company reported lower than expected sales in the fourth quarter of 2013, and we believe it is likely to face both structural deceleration of volume growth and the headwind posed by a proposed excise hike in Brazil. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most sector weights are usually established within a narrow range from the Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index to financials, industrials, health care and consumer discretionary increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to energy and telecommunication services decreased. |
| Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. As such, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index in India, Colombia, the Philippines and Peru increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to South Africa, South Korea, China and Taiwan decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweighted exposures to India, Russia, Peru, Turkey, the Philippines and Indonesia and underweighted exposures to South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, China and Poland relative to the Index. On the same date, the Fund was relatively neutrally weighted to the Index in the remaining components of the Index. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Index in consumer |

| staples, health care, information technology, consumer discretionary, industrials and financials at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Index in the energy, telecommunication services, materials and utilities sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs N-11 Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.45%, 2.03%, 2.61% and 2.58%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.83% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Next 11 ex-Iran GDP Weighted Index (net, unhedged, USD) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund only modestly underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s stock selection in South Korea, Bangladesh and South Vietnam detracted most. Having underweighted allocations to South Vietnam and Bangladesh, which each significantly outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Such detractors were only partially offset by the positive contributions of effective stock selection in Mexico, Nigeria and Pakistan. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Index were positions in Square Pharmaceuticals, Turkiye Halk Bank and Commercial International Bank. |
| Square Pharmaceuticals is an industry leader in Bangladesh. It was a significant detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, as the Fund was underweight this stock, and its shares rallied robustly. The company reported third quarter 2013 earnings results that showed its net profit after tax had increased significantly compared to the same quarter the previous year. These strong results were driven by revenue growth, lower cost of sales and higher operating efficiency. |
| Turkiye Halk Bank, a Turkish bank, saw its share decline driven by political instability in Turkey. |
| Commercial International Bank is a financial company based in Egypt. It detracted from the Fund’s relative results because the Fund held an underweight position in its stock, and the stock rallied in response to greater political stability in Egypt, as the military government maintained power and benefited from the financial support of Saudi Arabia. Commercial International Bank is a sizable constituent of the Index. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Turkiye IS Bankasi, Infraestructura Energetica Nova (“IENova”) and Engro. |
| Turkiye IS Bankasi, Turkey’s first public bank and one of the largest financial institutions in the country, was the top contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The stock declined during the Reporting Period, but the Fund held an underweighted position in Turkiye IS Bankasi when its stock price dipped amidst Turkey’s political instability. We subsequently increased the Fund’s position in Turkiye IS Bankasi as its valuation became more attractive in our view. |
| IENova develops, builds and operates energy infrastructure in Mexico. A series of reforms widely anticipated to impact the energy sector were being pushed by Mexico’s Congress, and as many investors believed IENova is likely to benefit from post-reform projects in 2015, creating new growth opportunities, its stock rallied sharply. |
| Engro, a conglomerate based in Pakistan that produces fertilizer, performed well after the company and other industry players entered into long-term gas supply agreements with the field operators that are expected to ensure long-term gas supply from fields to fertilizer plants. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Index, weak stock selection within the financials and consumer discretionary sectors detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Having an underweighted allocation to health care, which outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Notable individual drivers of underperformance in the financials sector were holdings in the banks industry. The Fund’s holding in Turkey’s Turkiye Halk Bank and its exposure to Egypt’s Commercial International Bank, each already mentioned, were the largest detractors from performance. In consumer discretionary, holdings in the retail industry hurt most, with a position in South Korea’s Hyundai Department Store especially disappointing. A position in Hyundai Motor was another detractor. |
| Conversely, strong stock selection within consumer staples, information technology and energy contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance. In consumer staples, holdings within the food and beverage industry performed particularly well, with Indonesian cigarette manufacturer Gudang Garam and Egyptian tobacco company Eastern Company boosting results. In information technology, holdings within the semiconductor industry helped most, with South Korea’s SK Hynix and Seoul Semiconductor especially strong performers. In energy, a position in Pakistan Oilfields was the largest individual contributor to relative returns. A holding in SK Innovation, a South Korean company, was also a strong performer. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund gained exposure to select stocks through equity-linked notes and participatory notes. We used index futures on an opportunistic basis to ensure the Fund remained almost fully exposed to equities following cash inflows or stock sales. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In Egypt, we added shares of Commercial International Bank to bring the underweight position in its stock, held earlier in the Reporting Period, closer to a neutral position relative to the Index. We trimmed the Fund’s position in Telecom Egypt, which had performed well, in order to fund the position. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in NCSoft, a South Korea-based online video and mobile game development company. |
| We liked NCSoft when it decided to float one of its games, Blade and Soul, in the Chinese market despite some failures from similar trials in China several years ago. Because of Blade and Soul’s improved game content and the strong marketing power of NCSoft’s publisher, Tencent, the initial results were promising. However, we remained cautious to interpret this data, as stock prices and investor sentiment for game makers are often highly influenced by the performance of new games. As evidenced by its declining user base, Blade and Soul’s spectacular launch did not last long and its user traffic declined. We thus sold the Fund’s position in NCSoft and reallocated some of the proceeds to Orion, an entertainment and sports business. In our view, Orion’s stock was attractively valued at the time of purchase. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most sector weights are usually established within a narrow range from the Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index to financials and materials increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to industrials, consumer staples and information technology decreased. |
| Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. As such, the Fund’s allocation relative to the Index to Nigeria increased modestly, and its exposure relative to the Index in the Philippines decreased modestly. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was relatively neutrally weighted to the Index in all of the country components of the Index. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the Index in materials at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Index in the industrials and consumer staples sectors and rather neutral positions relative to the Index in the financials, consumer discretionary, utilities, telecommunication services, energy, health care and information technology sectors at the end the Reporting Period. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

| | Institutional | | | 2.61 | | | | 2.83 | |
| | Class IR | | | 2.58 | | | | 2.83 | |
| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The Fund’s benchmark index is the MSCI Next 11 ex-Iran GDP Weighted Index (net, unhedged, USD). The MSCI Next 11 ex-Iran GDP Weighted Index comprises the following 10 emerging and frontier market indices: Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey and Vietnam. The index is designed to reflect the performance of the N-11 ex Iran countries based on the size of each country’s economy rather than the size of its equity market, by using country weights based on a country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Each country is divided into large- and mid-cap segments and provides exhaustive coverage of these size segments by targeting a coverage range around 85% of free float-adjusted market capitalization in that market. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| | Class IR | | | -4.46 | | | 3.43 | | 2/28/11 |
| 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 and Class IR 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered* | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Asia Equity | | A, B, C and Institutional and IR | | Diversified |
BRIC and N-11 Equity | | A, C, Institutional and IR | | Non-diversified |
Emerging Markets Equity | | A, B, C, Institutional, Service and IR | | Diversified |
* | | Class B Shares are generally no longer available for purchase by current or prospective investors. |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B Shares were sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C Shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service and Class IR Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, all of the assets and liabilities of the Goldman Sachs China Equity Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) were transferred to the Goldman Sachs Asia Equity Fund (the “Survivor Fund”) as of the close of business on April 25, 2014 (the “Reorganization”). As part of the Reorganization, holders of Class A, Class C, Institutional, and Class IR shares of the Acquired Fund respectively received Class A, Class C, Institutional, and Class IR shares of the Survivor Fund, in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of his or her investment in the Acquired Fund. The exchange was a tax-free event to shareholders and the Survivor Fund was the accounting survivor in the reorganization.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent and Service and Shareholder Administration fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Funds are maintained in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAMI’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Trustees have adopted Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAMI day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAMI regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, equity securities and 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, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
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) |
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures contracts, typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that the aforementioned significant inputs are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAMI believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAMI, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

* | | Goldman Sachs did not retain any contingent deferred sales charges for Class B Shares. |
D. Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan. These plans allow for service organizations to provide varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class IR Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAMI has agreed to limit certain “Other Expense” of the Funds (excluding transfer agent fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification, and other extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAMI for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Asia Equity, BRIC, Emerging Markets Equity and N-11 Equity Funds are 0.254%, 0.264%, 0.264% and 0.164%, respectively. Prior to February 28, 2014, the Other Expense limitation for the Asia Equity Fund and Emerging Markets Equity were 0.344% and 0.354%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2015 and prior to such date GSAMI may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Board of Trustees. The Funds bear their respective share of costs related to proxy and shareholder meetings, and GSAMI has agreed to reimburse each Fund to the extent such expense exceed a specified percentage of the Fund’s net assets. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 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 GSAMI or its affiliates (“Other Borrowers”). Pursuant to the terms of the facility, the Funds and Other Borrowers could increase the credit amount by an additional $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 April 30, 2014, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was increased to $1,080,000,000 effective May 6, 2014.

As of April 30, 2014, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences related to the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAMI has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and foreign currency with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight or independent evaluation of their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters into bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are often undeveloped and may be less regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Shareholder Concentration Risk — Certain funds, accounts, individuals or Goldman Sachs affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Funds’ shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in the Funds may impact the Funds’ liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force the Funds to sell securities.
Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange traded fund (“ETF”), a Fund will directly bear its proportionate share of any management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Geographic Risk — Concentration of the investments of a Fund in issuers located in a particular country or region will subject the Fund, to a greater extent than if investments were less concentrated, to the risks of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in a given country or region. The Asia Equity Fund invests primarily in equity investments in Asian issuers. The BRIC Fund invests primarily in equity investments in Brazil, Russia, India and China issuers. The N-11 Equity Fund invests primarily in equity investments in the N-11 countries, and may invest up to 50% of its assets in any one N-11 country.
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 or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Fund invests. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may
61
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Non-Diversification Risk — The BRIC and N-11 Equity Funds are non-diversified, meaning that they are permitted to invest a larger percentage of their assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, a 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.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAMI believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Mergers and Reorganizations — At a meeting held on February 11, 2014, the Board of Trustees of Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) providing for the tax-free acquisition of the Goldman Sachs China Equity Fund by the Goldman Sachs Asia Equity Fund. The acquisition was completed on April 28, 2014 as of April 25, 2014.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund’s Shares were transferred in exchange for the Survivor Fund’s Shares, in a tax-free exchange as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Survivor/Acquired Fund | | Exchanged Shares of Survivor Issued | | | Value of Exchanged Shares | | | Acquired Fund’s Shares Outstanding as of April 25, 2014 | |
Asia Equity Class A/China Equity Class A | | | 1,463 | | | $ | 28,606 | | | | 3,258 | |
Asia Equity Class C/China Equity Class C | | | 16,455 | | | | 301,777 | | | | 34,927 | |
Asia Equity Institutional Class/China Equity Institutional Class | | | 1,213,633 | | | | 24,806,694 | | | | 2,815,194 | |

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service or Class IR Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C 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 and Class IR Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2013 through April 30, 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 ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | | Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2014. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |
