GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
This is not a complete list of risks that may affect the Portfolios. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Portfolios, please see the Portfolios’ Prospectus.
The Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio invests in affiliated domestic and international fixed income and equity funds (“underlying funds”). The Portfolio’s investment in any of the underlying funds may exceed 25% of its assets. The Portfolio currently expects to invest a relatively significant percentage of its assets in the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government, Goldman Sachs Global Income, Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights, and Goldman Sachs International Equity Insights Funds. The Portfolio is subject to the risk factors of the underlying funds in direct proportion to its investments in those underlying funds, and the ability of the Portfolio to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment objectives, as well as the allocation among those underlying funds by the Investment Adviser. An underlying fund is subject to the risks associated with its investments, including (as applicable) those associated with equity, fixed income, foreign and derivative investments generally. From time to time, the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests, and the size of the investments in the underlying funds, may change. Because the Portfolio is subject to the underlying fund expenses as well as its own expenses, the cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than investing in a mutual fund that only invests directly in stocks and bonds.
The Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio invests substantially all of its assets in affiliated domestic and international equity funds (“underlying funds”). The Portfolio’s investment in any of the underlying funds may exceed 25% of its assets. The Portfolio currently expects to invest a relatively significant percentage of its assets in the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights, and Goldman Sachs International Equity Insights Funds. The Portfolio is subject to the risk factors of the underlying funds in direct proportion to its investments in those underlying funds, and the ability of the Portfolio to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment objectives, as well as the allocation among those underlying funds by the Investment Adviser. An underlying fund is subject to the risks associated with its investments, including (as applicable) those associated with equity, fixed income, foreign and derivative investments generally. From time to time, the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests, and the size of the investments in the underlying funds, may change. Because the Portfolio is subject to the underlying fund expenses as well as its own expenses, the cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than investing in a mutual fund that only invests directly in stocks and bonds.
The Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio invests in affiliated domestic and international fixed income and equity funds (“underlying funds”). The Portfolio’s investment in any of the underlying funds may exceed 25% of its assets. The Portfolio currently expects to invest a relatively significant percentage of its assets in the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights, and Goldman Sachs International Equity Insights Funds, Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income and Goldman Sachs Global Income Funds. The Portfolio is subject to the risk factors of the underlying funds in direct proportion to its investments in those underlying funds, and the ability of the Portfolio to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment objectives, as well as the allocation among those underlying funds by the Investment Adviser. An underlying fund is subject to the risks associated with its investments, including (as applicable) those associated with equity, fixed income, foreign and derivative investments generally. From time to time, the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests, and the size of the investments in the underlying funds, may change. Because the Portfolio is subject to the underlying fund expenses as well as its own expenses, the cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than investing in a mutual fund that only invests directly in stocks and bonds.

Because the Portfolio is subject to the underlying fund expenses as well as its own expenses, the cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than investing in a mutual fund that only invests directly in stocks and bonds.
The Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio invests primarily in affiliated fixed income and equity funds (“underlying funds”) which are considered to invest in satellite asset classes. Satellite asset classes are those that have traditionally had low correlations to traditional market exposures such as large capitalization equities and investment grade fixed income. The Portfolio’s investment in any of the underlying funds may exceed 25% of its assets. The Investment Adviser expects to invest relatively significant percentages in the following satellite equity asset classes: emerging markets equity, international small cap, U.S. and international real estate securities. The Investment Adviser may invest a relatively significant percentage in the following satellite fixed income asset classes: high yield, emerging markets debt and commodities. The Portfolio is subject to the risk factors of the underlying funds in direct proportion to its investments in those underlying funds, and the ability of the Portfolio to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment objectives, as well as the allocation among those underlying funds by the Investment Adviser.

MARKET REVIEW
Fund of Funds Portfolios
Dear Shareholder:
This report provides an overview of regional and sector preferences of the Goldman Sachs Fund of Funds Portfolios (each, a “Portfolio,” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 (the “Reporting Period”).
Market Review
After a weak January 2014, U.S. and international equities rallied through the remainder of the six months ended June 30, 2014 (the “Reporting Period”). Global spread (non-government bond) sectors also generated positive, albeit more modest, returns, as intermediate-term and longer-term yields declined.
Equity Markets
In the U.S., economic data was slightly disappointing early in the Reporting Period. The housing market maintained its recovery, but the labor market remained weaker than expected. Additionally, fourth quarter 2013 U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) was revised down to an annualized rate of 2.4% from 3.2% . The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) reduced its asset purchases each month beginning in January 2014 and suggested a more hawkish stance in March 2014, dropping the threshold of 6.5% unemployment as a condition for raising interest rates. Fed Chair Yellen implied that interest rates could start to increase six months after the asset purchase program ends. Many U.S. corporate earnings announcements reflected top-line growth, though overall management guidance for 2014 was less optimistic than consensus. Meanwhile, in the first quarter of 2014, the Eurozone reported that its economy grew at a stronger than expected 0.5% year over year rate for the fourth quarter of 2013, and the European Commission raised its estimates for GDP growth to 1.2% for calendar year 2014 and to 1.8% for calendar year 2015. Based largely on such economic optimism, many European stock markets outperformed the broader international equities market in the first calendar quarter, despite some disappointing corporate earnings reports and conservative guidance from management and the potentially immediate threat of disinflation. Economic activity was also strong in Japan during the first quarter of 2014 ahead of the consumption tax hike on April 1, 2014. However, the Japanese equity market underperformed international equities in the first quarter of 2014 in part based on concerns that economic trends would be more difficult to assess ahead of the tax increase.
During the second calendar quarter, first quarter 2014 U.S. GDP was revised down to a contraction of 2.9%, largely due to disruption from severe winter weather. However, other economic data suggested the economy is improving. U.S. non-farm payrolls added 217,000 jobs in May 2014, and the national manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (“PMI”), which rose to 56.4 in May 2014 from 55.4 in April 2014, showed the strongest reading in the past three months. In Europe, the U.K. equity market rose on an improving economic outlook, but many continental European stock markets declined in June 2014 amidst worries about deflation, disappointing European PMI data and the lowest reading in six months of the German Ifo Business Climate Index, a survey of German business confidence. In an effort to stimulate the European economy, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) cut interest rates by 10 basis points, which put deposit rates in negative territory, to promote lending. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) In contrast, Japanese stocks rallied sharply into the end of the Reporting Period, as evidence suggested that underlying growth trends following the consumption tax increase were stronger than expected. In addition, it was publicly reported

MARKET REVIEW
late in the second quarter of 2014 that the tax increase in Japan had driven the biggest year over year increase in inflation in that nation in more than 20 years in April 2014.
Fixed Income Markets
In January 2014, when the Reporting Period began, global spread sectors performed well, as intermediate-term and longer-term yields fell on concerns about growth in the emerging markets and the condition of China’s banking system as well as on unusually cold weather and disappointing economic data in the U.S. As mentioned earlier, the Fed reduced its asset purchases each month beginning in January 2014 and suggested a more hawkish stance in March 2014, dropping the threshold of 6.5% unemployment as a condition for raising interest rates. In the Eurozone, the ECB restated its accommodative bias, dwelling less on recent positive economic data and more on potential downside risks to growth and inflation. Russia’s military presence in Ukraine and tensions over Crimea’s possible secession weighed heavily on that region’s markets. Russian assets took the brunt of the selloff, and the Russian central bank hiked interest rates to curb further currency depreciation. During March 2014, fixed income investors generally focused on headlines regarding events in Ukraine and the implementation of U.S. and European sanctions on Russia. Although the global manufacturing PMI dipped, it remained in solidly expansionary territory — led by continued strong activity in the U.S. and U.K. — with the notable exception of China, where production contracted by the sharpest degree since November 2011. In March 2014, after Fed Chair Yellen suggested interest rates could start to increase six months after the Fed’s asset purchase program ends, intermediate-term and longer-term yields edged up.
During the second calendar quarter, intermediate-term and longer-term yields resumed their decline, and global spread sectors rallied. In April 2014, the U.S. announced first quarter 2014 GDP growth of 0.1%, which was weaker than expected, but April 2014 U.S. nonfarm payrolls data came in above expectations. During May 2014, first calendar quarter GDP growth was revised downward to -1.0% and subsequently in June 2014 to -2.9% . However, economic data releases, such as auto sales, jobless claims and manufacturing activity, suggested a rebound was underway. This supported the view of some market participants that the first calendar quarter contraction might have been due to inclement winter weather and that economic growth could accelerate in the second quarter of 2014. As mentioned earlier, in the Eurozone, during June 2014, the ECB cut interest rates by 10 basis points, moving the deposit rate into negative territory for the first time in history. The ECB also announced it would be implementing additional liquidity measures targeted at stimulating lending. Meanwhile, the June 2014 global manufacturing PMI hit a four-month high, with the U.S. and the U.K. experiencing some of the largest manufacturing output growth.

What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’
Approach to Asset Allocation?
We believe that strong investment results through asset allocation are best achieved through teams of experts working together on a global scale:

n | | Goldman Sachs’ Quantitative Investment Strategies Team determines the strategic and quarterly tactical asset allocations. The team is comprised of over 70* professionals with significant academic and practitioner experience. |
n | | Goldman Sachs’ Portfolio Management Teams offer expert management of the mutual funds that are contained within each Asset Allocation Portfolio (each, a “Portfolio”). These same teams manage portfolios for institutional and high net worth investors. |
Goldman Sachs Asset Allocation Investment Process

Quantitative Investment Strategies Team
Each Fund of Funds Portfolio represents a diversified global portfolio on the efficient frontier.† The Portfolios differ in their long-term objective, and therefore, their asset allocation mix. The long-term strategic asset allocation is the primary source of risk and the corresponding primary determinant of total return. It therefore represents an anchor, or neutral starting point, from which tactical asset allocation decisions are made.

Quantitative Investment Strategies Team
For each Portfolio, the strategic asset allocation is combined with a measured amount of tactical risk. Changing market conditions create opportunities to capitalize on investing in different countries and asset classes relative to others over time. Within each strategy, we shift assets away from the strategic allocation (over and underweighting certain asset classes and countries) to seek to benefit from changing conditions in global capital markets.
Using proprietary portfolio construction models to maintain each Portfolio’s original risk/ return profile over time, the team makes ten active decisions based on its current outlook on global equity, fixed income and currency markets.

n Asset class selection | | Are stocks, bonds or cash more attractive? |
n Regional equity selection | | Are U.S. or non-U.S. equities more attractive? |
n Regional bond selection | | Are U.S. or non-U.S. bonds more attractive? |

n Emerging/developed equity selection | | Are emerging or developed equities more attractive? |
†Portfolios | | on the efficient frontier are optimal in both the sense that they offer maximal expected return for some given level of risk and minimal risk for some given level of expected return. The efficient frontier is the line created from the risk-reward graph, comprised of optimal portfolios. The optimal portfolios plotted along the curve have the highest expected return possible for the given amount of risk. |

Mutual Fund Portfolio Management Teams
Each Portfolio is comprised of underlying Goldman Sachs Mutual Funds managed by broad, deep portfolio management teams. In addition to global tactical asset allocation, we seek to generate excess returns through security selection within each underlying mutual fund. Whether in the equity or fixed income arenas, these portfolio management teams share a commitment to firsthand fundamental research and seek performance driven by successful security selection.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Fund of Funds Portfolios – Asset Allocation
Investment Process and Principal Strategy
Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying funds that currently exist or that may become available for investment in the future for which Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“GSAM”) or an affiliate, now or in the future, acts as investment adviser or principal underwriter (the “underlying funds”). Some of the Portfolios’ underlying funds invest primarily in fixed income or money market instruments, and some invest primarily in equity securities. Some underlying funds also invest dynamically across equity, fixed income, commodity and other markets through a managed-volatility or trend-following approach.
The investment adviser allows the Portfolios’ strategic targets to shift with their respective market returns but continues to adjust tactical tilts on a quarterly basis to reflect the investment adviser’s latest views. The investment adviser adjusts the overall asset allocation of the Portfolios based on current market conditions and the investment adviser’s economic and market forecasts.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Portfolios’ performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Portfolios perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio — During the Reporting Period, the Balanced Strategy Portfolio’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns of 4.33%, 3.99%, 3.93%, 4.62%, 4.36%, 4.47% and 4.31%, respectively. This compares to the 4.93% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, which is comprised 60% of the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, Hedged) (“Barclays Global Index”) and 40% of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (“MSCI® ACWI Index”), during the same period. |
| The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Barclays Global Index and the MSCI® ACWI Index, generated cumulative total returns of 4.08% and 6.18%, respectively, during the same period. |
| Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio — During the Reporting Period, the Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns of 6.23%, 5.89%, 5.77%, 6.45%, 6.19%, 6.31% and 6.14%, respectively. |
| This compares to the 6.18% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI® ACWI Index, during the same period. |
| Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio — During the Reporting Period, the Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns of 4.88%, 4.49%, 4.42%, 5.07%, 4.83%, 4.95% and 4.77%, respectively. This compares to the 5.35% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, which is comprised 40% of the Barclays Global Index and 60% of the MSCI® ACWI Index, during the same period. |
| The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmarks, the Barclays Global Index and the MSCI® ACWI Index, generated cumulative total returns of 4.08% and 6.18%, respectively, during the same period. |
| Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio — During the Reporting Period, the Growth Strategy Portfolio’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns of 5.35%, 5.00%, 4.98%, 5.59%, 5.37%, 5.50% and 5.24%, respectively. This compares to the 5.77% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, which is comprised 80% of the MSCI® ACWI Index and 20% of the Barclays Global Index, during the same period. |
| The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmarks, the Barclays Global Index and the MSCI® ACWI Index, generated cumulative total returns of 4.08% and 6.18%, respectively, during the same period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | What key factors affected the Portfolios’ performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolios generated positive absolute returns, with those having greater equity exposure performing more strongly. However, overall, with the exception of the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio (our equity-only Portfolio), the Portfolios underperformed their respective blended benchmarks, largely as a result of our strategic, long-term asset allocation policy and the implementation of our quarterly tactical views. Security selection within the underlying funds added to the performance of each of the Portfolios. |
Q | | How did Global Tactical Asset Allocation decisions affect the Portfolios’ performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Although the Portfolios’ overweight in equities versus fixed income contributed positively to relative performance, the implementation of our quarterly tactical views detracted from the performance of the Portfolios during the Reporting Period. |
| Within equity allocations, underweight positions in U.S. value stocks versus U.S. growth stocks detracted from performance, especially during the first quarter of 2014 and particularly in those Portfolios with greater equity exposure. Overweight positions in U.S. small-cap stocks relative to U.S. large-cap stocks also dampened returns. On the positive side, overweight positions in U.S. equities versus international equities added to performance. Underweight positions in emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities also contributed positively. |
| Within fixed income allocations, underweight positions in local emerging markets debt relative to developed markets debt detracted from results. On the other hand, the Portfolios benefited from overweight positions in high yield corporate bonds versus investment grade corporate bonds. The impact of the Portfolios’ positioning in U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets debt (through which the Portfolios gain exposure to local currencies) versus developed markets debt was relatively neutral as was the effect of overweight positions in U.S. fixed income versus international fixed income. |
Q | | How did the Portfolios’ underlying funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Of the Portfolios’ underlying equity funds, the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund performed best relative to their respective benchmark indices. The Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund underperformed its benchmark index most during the Reporting Period. |
| On the fixed income side, the Goldman Sachs Global Income Fund and the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund outperformed their respective benchmark indices most. The Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund underperformed its benchmark index most during the Reporting Period. |
| Among alternative investment classes, all underlying funds underperformed their respective benchmark indices, with the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund underperforming its benchmark most during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Portfolios use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolios do not directly invest in derivatives. However, some of the underlying funds used derivatives during the Reporting Period to apply their active investment views with greater versatility and to potentially afford greater risk management precision. As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, some of these underlying funds engaged in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts, options, swap contracts and structured securities to attempt to enhance portfolio return and for hedging purposes. |
Q | | What changes did you make during the Reporting Period within both the equity and fixed income portions of the Portfolio? |
A | | Throughout the Reporting Period, we were bullish on equities versus fixed income in implementing our strategies. |
| Within equities, at the beginning of the Reporting Period, we were slightly bullish on U.S. stocks versus international stocks because of continued strong momentum, high risk premiums and a supportive macroeconomic environment for U.S. equities. We remained slightly bullish on U.S. stocks relative to international stocks during the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to continued strong momentum. In the second calendar quarter, we remained slightly bullish on U.S. stocks versus international stocks, largely because of continued strong momentum and supportive macroeconomic conditions in the U.S. Also, when the Reporting Period started, we were bullish on developed markets equities versus emerging markets equities because of attractive |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| relative valuations in developed markets equities. We became slightly less bullish during the first calendar quarter and then shifted to a modestly bullish view on emerging markets stocks versus developed markets stocks during the second calendar quarter due to supportive macroeconomic conditions in the emerging markets. |
| We implemented our country level views within the Goldman Sachs International Equity Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund, which were underlying funds during the Reporting Period. Among developed markets equities at the end of the Reporting Period, we were bullish on Japan due to attractive valuations and high risk premiums. We were bullish on Norway because of strong investment flows and attractive valuations. We had a bearish view on Portugal given expensive valuations and low risk premiums. We were bearish on the Netherlands primarily due to weak momentum. Among emerging markets equities at the end of the Reporting Period, we favored Russia and China because of attractive valuations. We were bearish on Taiwan due to low risk premiums and bearish on Mexico as a result of expensive valuations. |
| Among U.S. equities, we began the Reporting Period bullish on growth stocks versus value stocks due to strong investor sentiment for growth stocks. In the first quarter of 2014, we adopted a neutral view on growth stocks versus value stocks because the high risk premiums of value stocks were offset by negative investor sentiment about growth stocks. During the second calendar quarter, we shifted our view from neutral to slightly bullish on value stocks relative to growth stocks because of positive sentiment for value stocks. We were neutral at the beginning of the Reporting Period on small-cap stocks relative to large-cap stocks as high risk premiums for small-cap stocks were offset by poor sentiment and less attractive valuations. During the first calendar quarter, we became slightly bullish on small-cap stocks versus large-cap stocks due to high risk premiums and positive sentiment for small-cap stocks. Although we continued to be bullish on small-cap stocks versus large-cap stocks during the second quarter of 2014, we moderated our view slightly because of high risk premiums for small-cap stocks. |
| Within fixed income, throughout the Reporting Period, we remained neutral on international fixed income versus U.S. fixed income. We were bullish on high yield bonds versus investment grade bonds when the Reporting Period began, growing more bullish during the first calendar quarter because of the relatively strong momentum and high risk premiums of high yield bonds. Although we slightly moderated our bullish view on high yield bonds versus investment grade bonds during the second calendar quarter, we remained bullish given the strong momentum of high yield bonds. |
| When the Reporting Period started, we held a bullish view on developed markets debt versus U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets debt due to strong momentum in developed markets debt. In the first calendar quarter, we became slightly bearish on developed markets debt versus U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets debt due to strong momentum in U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets debt. In the second calendar quarter, we became slightly bullish on U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt versus developed market debt primarily because of strong momentum in U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt. |
| At the beginning of the Reporting Period and through the first quarter 2014, we were bearish on local emerging markets debt versus developed markets debt primarily because of poor momentum for local emerging markets debt. During the second calendar quarter, we shifted to a slightly bullish view on local emerging markets debt relative to developed markets debt due to high risk premiums and supportive macroeconomic conditions for local emerging markets debt. |
Q | | What is the Portfolios’ tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | Global equilibrium is the foundation of our strategic asset allocation process — that is, we believe that a globally-diversified portfolio of asset classes, weighted by their market capitalization, may provide economically intuitive, meaningful and balanced exposures to investment opportunities. We make 10 active decisions within the Portfolios based on our current outlook on global equity, fixed income and currency markets. On a quarterly basis, we shift assets away from the strategic allocation (tilting our positions in certain asset classes and countries from their longer-term, strategic weights) in an effort to benefit from changing conditions in global capital markets. |
| During the Reporting Period, we had introduced two new components to our strategic allocation — a managed futures trend-following strategy and an unconstrained fixed income strategy, both of which are implemented through two new underlying funds. The Goldman Sachs Managed Futures Strategy Fund seeks to profit from market trends while acting |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| as an overall portfolio diversifier. The Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund takes a dynamic, flexible approach to fixed income investing while potentially being less sensitive to future interest rate movements. Ultimately, we believe the inclusion of these two components can potentially provide a more diversified investment experience for investors. The ability to express our tactical asset allocation tilts will not be affected, and all Portfolios will be constructed to maintain the same overall risk profile as their respective benchmarks. |
| At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained bullish on equities relative to fixed income because of continued strong momentum in the global equities markets. We were slightly bullish on emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities, and we continued to be slightly bullish on U.S. equities versus international equities. Within U.S. equities, we had shifted our view from neutral to bullish on value stocks versus growth stocks and had moderated our bullish view on small-cap stocks versus large-cap stocks. |
| In fixed income at the end of the Reporting Period, we were neutral on international fixed income relative to U.S. fixed income. We had become slightly less bullish on high yield bonds relative to investment grade bonds. Also, we maintained our slightly bullish view on U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets debt versus developed markets debt and had shifted to a bullish view on local emerging markets debt versus developed markets debt. |

| 5 | | The tactical fund weightings are set at the beginning of each calendar quarter. The weighting in the chart above reflects the allocations from March 31, 2014 to June 30, 2014. Actual Fund weighting in the Asset Allocation Portfolios may differ from the figures shown above due to rounding, differences in returns of the Underlying Funds, or both. The above figures are not indicative of future allocations. |
| 6 | | Strategic allocation is the process of determining the areas of the global markets in which to invest, and in what long-term proportion, for each Fund. Our global approach attempts to generate strong long-term returns across geographies and asset classes, and is determined through a careful review of market opportunities and risk/return tradeoffs. It is rebalanced annually. On a quarterly basis, we shift assets around the strategic allocation, over and under-weighting asset classes and countries relative to the neutral starting point, seeking to benefit from changing short-term conditions in global capital markets. This is called tactical asset allocation. |

| 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). 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio’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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.

FUND BASICS

| 5 | | The tactical fund weightings are set at the beginning of each calendar quarter. The weighting in the chart above reflects the allocations from March 31, 2014 to June 30, 2014. Actual Fund weighting in the Asset Allocation Portfolios may differ from the figures shown above due to rounding, differences in returns of the Underlying Funds, or both. The above figures are not indicative of future allocations. |
| 6 | | Strategic allocation is the process of determining the areas of the global markets in which to invest, and in what long-term proportion, for each Fund. Our global approach attempts to generate strong long-term returns across geographies and asset classes, and is determined through a careful review of market opportunities and risk/return tradeoffs. It is rebalanced annually. On a quarterly basis, we shift assets around the strategic allocation, over and under-weighting asset classes and countries relative to the neutral starting point, seeking to benefit from changing short-term conditions in global capital markets. This is called tactical asset allocation. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio
Investment Process and Principal Strategy
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying funds that currently exist or that may become available for investment in the future for which Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“GSAM”) or an affiliate, now or in the future, acts as investment adviser or principal underwriter (the “underlying funds”). Some of the Portfolios’ underlying funds invest primarily in fixed income or money market instruments, and some invest primarily in equity securities.
The Portfolio invests assets in a strategic mix of underlying funds, which the investment adviser considers to be invested in satellite asset classes. Satellite asset classes are those that historically have lower correlations to traditional market exposures such as large cap equities and investment grade fixed income. The investment adviser allows strategic targets to shift with their respective market returns but adjusts the overall asset allocation of the Portfolio based on current market conditions and the investment adviser’s economic and market forecasts.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective May 16, 2014, the Goldman Sachs Income Strategies Portfolio was merged into the Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio. 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 Satellite Strategies Portfolio acquired all of the assets of the Goldman Sachs Income Strategies Portfolio — which totaled approximately $26.4 million as of May 16, 2014 — and the Goldman Sachs Income Strategies Portfolio was subsequently liquidated and shareholders of the Goldman Sachs Income Strategies Portfolio became shareholders of the Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio. Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns of 6.74%, 6.26%, 6.96%, 6.71%, 6.76% and 6.52%, respectively. This compares to the 5.31% cumulative total return of the Fund’s blended benchmark, which is comprised 40% of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 30% of the S&P 500® Index and 30% of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (“MSCI® EAFE® Index”), during the same period. |
| The components of the blended benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the S&P 500® Index and the MSCI® EAFE® Index, generated cumulative total returns of 3.93%, 7.14% and 5.14%, respectively, during the same period. |
Q | | How did the various satellite asset classes perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Satellite asset classes performed well during the Reporting Period. U.S. real estate securities, as represented by the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index, performed the best among the satellite asset classes represented in the Portfolio, returning almost 18%. U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets debt and international real estate securities also performed well. High yield floating rate loans posted positive absolute performance, but lagged other satellite asset classes. |
Q | | What key factors affected the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolio outperformed its blended benchmark during the Reporting Period, driven by the strong performance of its satellite asset class exposures relative to the performance of core asset classes. In particular, the Portfolio benefited from its allocations to U.S. and international real estate securities, |
27
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| as well as to U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets debt, as these asset classes outperformed global developed market equities overall. In addition, the Portfolio’s allocations to fixed income satellite asset classes contributed positively to performance because of the strong performance of U.S. dollar denominated emerging markets debt and high yield floating rate loans. In keeping with our investment approach, we dynamically adjusted Portfolio weights to ensure that overall risk and individual underlying fund contributions to risk remained within the ranges we feel are appropriate for a diversified satellite portfolio. |
| Detracting from results was security selection within the Portfolio’s underlying funds. |
Q | | How did the Portfolio’s underlying funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Overall, as mentioned earlier, the performance of the underlying funds detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. The Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Fund, the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund and the Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund underperformed their respective benchmark indices the most. The Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund was the only underlying fund to outperform its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Portfolio use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolio does not directly invest in derivatives. However, some of the underlying funds used derivatives during the Reporting Period to apply their active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision. As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, some of these underlying funds engaged in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts, options, swap contracts and structured securities to enhance portfolio return and for hedging purposes. |
Q | | What changes did you make during the Reporting Period within both the equity and fixed income portions of the Portfolio? |
A | | In January and February 2014, contributions to portfolio risk from the underlying asset classes remained in line with our objectives. As a result, rebalancing trades were not required. Because of the reduced volatility of satellite asset classes compared to their longer-term averages, the Portfolio’s asset class weightings remained relatively stable. There were no outsized contributions to risk from any individual asset class or region. |
| During March 2014, we rebalanced the Portfolio to maintain our target risk objectives in the Portfolio. The risk contributions of high yield loans had fallen below the Portfolio’s minimum weight constraint relative to other satellite asset classes in the Portfolio. In response, we reduced the Portfolio’s allocations to international small-cap equities and high yield bonds while increasing its allocations to international and U.S. real estate securities and local emerging markets debt. |
| In both April and May 2014, we rebalanced the Portfolio to maintain our target risk objectives in the Portfolio. The risk contributions of high yield floating rate loans had fallen below the Portfolio’s minimum weight constraint relative to other satellite asset classes in the Portfolio. In response, we reduced the Portfolio’s allocations to international small-cap equities, emerging markets equities and high yield bonds while increasing its allocations to U.S. real estate securities, local emerging markets debt and high yield floating rate loans. |
| In June 2014, contributions to Portfolio risk from the underlying asset classes remained in line with our objectives. As a result, rebalancing trades were not required. Because of the reduced volatility of satellite asset classes compared to their longer-term averages, the Portfolio’s asset class weightings remained relatively stable. There were no outsized contributions to risk from any individual asset class or region. |
Q | | What is the Portfolio’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | We manage the Portfolio using a dynamic, risk-responsive rebalancing process. Using our sophisticated, proprietary risk models, we evaluate the overall risk of the Portfolio each month as well as the portion of risk contributed by each individual asset class. |
| At the end of the Reporting Period, through its underlying funds, the Portfolio had larger allocations than it did at the beginning of the Reporting Period to U.S. and international real estate securities, local emerging markets debt and U.S. dollar denominated emerging market debt. It had reduced exposure to high yield bonds, international small-cap equities, emerging markets equities and commodities. |
| We will continue to monitor risk on a monthly basis and adjust our allocation to the satellite asset classes as the underlying funds drift beyond our longer-term risk-related guidelines. |

| (a) | | Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology. |
| (b) | | Recognition of net investment income by the Portfolio is affected by the timing of declaration of dividends by the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. |
| (c) | | 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. Total returns would be reduced if a sales or redemption charge was taken into account. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |
| (d) | | Expense ratios exclude the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. |
| (e) | | The Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements, without regard to transactions involving short term investments and certain derivatives. If such transactions were included, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher. |

| (a) | | Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology. |
| (b) | | Recognition of net investment income by the Portfolio is affected by the timing of declaration of dividends by the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. |
| (c) | | 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. Total returns would be reduced if a sales or redemption charge was taken into account. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |
| (d) | | Expense ratios exclude the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests. |
| (e) | | The Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements, without regard to transactions involving short term investments and certain derivatives. If such transactions were included, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher. |

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees and shareholders of the Goldman Sachs Income Strategies Portfolio (the “Acquired Portfolio”), all of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Portfolio, were transferred to the Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio (the “Survivor Portfolio”) as of the close of business on May 16, 2014 (the “Reorganization”). As part of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Portfolio’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares received the Survivor Portfolio’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares, respectively in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of their investment in the Acquired Portfolio. The exchange was a tax-free event to shareholders.

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 Portfolios’ valuation policy, as well as the Underlying Funds, 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. Capital gain distributions received from Underlying Funds are recognized on 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Portfolio 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 Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio, 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.
Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by each Portfolio will vary.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Portfolio’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 Portfolios 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 according to the following schedule:
| | | | |
Portfolio | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Balanced Strategy, Growth and Income Strategy and Satellite Strategies | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Equity Growth Strategy and Growth Strategy | | Annually | | 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolio’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 Portfolios’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

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;
57
GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Trustees have adopted Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Portfolios, 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 Portfolios’ 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:
Underlying Funds — Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Because each Portfolio invests primarily in other mutual funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolios’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Underlying Funds may invest in debt securities which, if 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.
The Underlying Funds may invest in equity securities and investment companies. Investments in 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, 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.
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
58
GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
(“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Portfolio, 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 Portfolios’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
An MRA governs transactions between a Portfolio and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An 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 Portfolio could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Portfolio are less than the repurchase price and the Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Portfolio.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Portfolios, 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 Portfolios maintain pro-rata credit exposure to the underlying repurchase agreements’ counterparties. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios’ 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 Portfolio’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.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Portfolios’ investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2014:

daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of 0.124% for the Satellite Strategies Portfolio and 0.15% for each of the other Portfolios.
B. Distribution and Service Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers, at the following annual rates calculated on a Portfolio’s average daily net assets of each respective share class:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution and Service Plan Rates | |
| | Class A* | | | Class B | | | Class C | | | Class R* | |
Distribution Plan | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.50 | % |
Service Plan | | | — | | | | 0.25 | | | | 0.25 | | | | — | |
* | | With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Portfolios pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A front end sales charge and Class B and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts. There were no amounts retained for Class B during this period.
| | | | | | | | | | |

Growth Strategy | | | | | 19,535 | | | | 127 | |
Satellite Strategies | | | | | 14,014 | | | | — | |
D. Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio 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 Portfolios 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, Class IR and Class R Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expense” of the Portfolios (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 Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly and are disclosed in the Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the Portfolios are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.01% for the Satellite Strategies Portfolio and 0.004% for each other Portfolio. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2015, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. The Portfolios bear their respective share of costs related to proxy and shareholder meetings, and GSAM has agreed to reimburse each Portfolio to the extent such expenses exceed a specified percentage of the Portfolio’s net assets. In addition, the Portfolios have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolios’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
As of June 30, 2014, the amounts owed to affiliates of the Portfolios were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of June 30, 2014, the Portfolios participated in a $1,080,000,000 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 Portfolios and Other Borrowers could increase the credit amount by an additional $120,000,000, for a total of up to $1,200,000,000. 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 Portfolios based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Portfolios did not have any borrowings under the facility.

As of June 30, 2014, the Portfolios’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Balanced Strategy | | | Equity Growth Strategy | | | Growth and Income Strategy | | | Growth Strategy | | | Satellite Strategies | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 507,321,153 | | | $ | 355,109,370 | | | $ | 979,027,973 | | | $ | 790,484,023 | | | $ | 1,266,997,159 | |

The differences between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of Underlying Fund investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
The Portfolios’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Investments in the Underlying Funds — The investments of a Portfolio are concentrated in the Underlying Funds, and the Portfolio’s investment performance is directly related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds it holds. A Portfolio is subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. A Portfolio that has a relative concentration of its portfolio in a single Underlying Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting that Underlying Fund, and may be more susceptible to losses because of these developments.
Large Shareholder Redemptions Risk — A Portfolio or an Underlying Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Portfolio’s or the Underlying Fund’s NAV and liquidity. Similarly, large Portfolio or Underlying Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s performance to the extent that the Portfolio or the Underlying Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the expense ratio of the Portfolio or the Underlying Fund.
Liquidity Risk — The Portfolios 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolios trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios invest. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions by the United States 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 cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Portfolios have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Portfolios also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
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 Portfolios. Additionally, in the course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM 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 the Trust approved the Reorganization Agreement providing for the tax-free acquisition by the Survivor Portfolio of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Portfolio.

Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR or Class R Shares of a Portfolio, 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolios 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 January 1, 2014 through June 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 Portfolios’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio, and Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio (the “Portfolios”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Portfolios at regularly scheduled meetings held during the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Portfolios.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2015 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 11-12, 2014 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings and/or the Annual Meeting, the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable, considered matters relating to the Management Agreement, including:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative and other services provided to the Portfolios and the underlying funds in which they invest (the “Underlying Funds”) by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services and operations), controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance and strategy and central funding), sales and distribution support groups and others (e.g., information technology and training); |

The Trustees also received an overview of the Portfolios’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Portfolios’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity and the payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees by the Portfolios and the payment of non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service and/or administration fees by the Portfolios’ Service Shares. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution and/or servicing of Portfolio shares.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Portfolios and other mutual fund portfolios for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser, its affiliates, their services and the Portfolios. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Portfolio investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided to the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Portfolios and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Portfolios, the Underlying Funds, and the Investment Adviser.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Portfolio to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2013, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2014. The information on each Portfolio’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Portfolio had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Portfolio’s investment performance over time (including on a year-by-year basis) relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Portfolios over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Portfolio in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
77
GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel, in which Portfolio performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Portfolios’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management. They noted the efforts of the Portfolios’ portfolio management team to enhance the investment models used in managing the Portfolios.
The Trustees observed that the Balanced Strategy Portfolio’s Class A Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Portfolio’s peer group for the one- and three-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the five- and ten-year periods, and had underperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2014. The Trustees further observed that the Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio’s Class A Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Portfolio’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods and underperformed for the five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2014. They noted that the Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio’s Class A Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Portfolio’s peer group for the one-year period, in the third quartile for the three- and five-year periods, and in the fourth quartile for the ten-year period, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the five-year period and underperformed for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2014. They observed that the Growth Strategy Portfolio’s Class A Shares had placed in the top half of the Portfolio’s peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods and in the third quartile for the ten-year period, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one- and five-year periods and underperformed for the three- and ten- year periods ended March 31, 2014. They noted that the Satellite Strategies Portfolio’s Class A Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Portfolio’s peer group for the five-year period and in the fourth quartile for the one- and three-year periods, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the five-year period and underperformed for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2014. The Trustees noted that the Portfolios had certain significant differences from their peer groups and benchmark indices that caused the peer groups and benchmark indices to be imperfect bases for performance comparison.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Portfolio thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Portfolios as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Portfolios. The analyses provided a comparison of the Portfolios’ management fees to those of relevant peer groups and category universes; an expense analysis which compared each Portfolio’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and a five-year history comparing each Portfolio’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Portfolio’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Portfolios.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds that exceed specified levels, and to waive a portion of its management fee with respect to certain Underlying Funds. They also noted that the Investment Adviser did not manage institutional accounts or collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolios, and therefore this type of fee comparison was not possible.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Portfolio shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Portfolio fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Portfolio.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins with respect to the Trust and each of the Portfolios. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Portfolio and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service) and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Portfolio were provided for 2013 and 2012, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment
78
GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Adviser’s overall profitability. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins both in absolute terms and in comparison to information on the reported pre-tax profit margins earned by certain other asset management firms.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding the Investment Adviser’s profitability. The Trustees noted that, although the Portfolios themselves do not have breakpoints in their management fee schedules, any benefits of the breakpoints in the management fee schedules of certain Underlying Funds, when reached, would pass through to the shareholders in the Portfolios at the specified asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Portfolios; the Portfolios’ recent purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and the profits realized by them; information comparing the fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Portfolios and Underlying Funds that exceed specified levels. They also considered the services provided to the Portfolios under the Management Agreement and the fees and expenses borne by the Underlying Funds, and determined that the management fees payable by the Portfolios were not duplicative of the management fees paid at the Underlying Fund level.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Portfolios and/or the Underlying Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of certain Underlying Funds; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of certain Underlying Funds; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Underlying Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent for certain Underlying Funds (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the portfolio in which those Underlying Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Portfolios on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Portfolio shareholders; (h) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Portfolio Distributor; (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Portfolios and Underlying Funds; and (j) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Portfolios’ and Underlying Funds’ third party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits. They also considered the benefits to GSAL and the Investment Adviser from the securities lending program and observed that, although the benefits to GSAL and the Investment Adviser were meaningful, the benefits to certain Underlying Funds from their participation in the program were greater, as measured by the revenue they received in connection with the program.
Other Benefits to the Portfolios and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Portfolios and/or the Underlying Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Underlying Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) with respect to the Underlying Funds, enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) with respect to certain Underlying Funds, the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Portfolios’ and Underlying Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (h) the Portfolios’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Portfolios’ shareholders invested in the Portfolios in part because of the Portfolios’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.

Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Portfolios were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Portfolio’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Portfolio and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Portfolio until June 30, 2015.

Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
