Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
This is not a complete list of risks that may affect the Funds. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Funds, please see the Funds’ Prospectuses.
The Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., “value”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. Investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are subject to certain risks, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote, potential conflicts of interest, cash flow risks, dilution risks, limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner’s right to force sales at undesirable times or prices. Investing in REITs involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. REITs whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or geographic region are also subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. The securities of REITs involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements because of interest rate changes, economic conditions and other factors.
The Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund invests primarily in large-capitalization U.S. equity investments. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Different investment styles (e.g., “value”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.
The Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund invests primarily in mid-capitalization U.S. equity investments. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. The securities of mid- and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Different investment styles (e.g., “value”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.
The Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund invests primarily in small-capitalization U.S. equity investments. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. The securities of mid- and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Different investment styles (e.g., “value”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.
The Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund invests primarily in equity investments with a primary focus on mid- and small-capitalization companies. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. The securities of mid- and small-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Different investment styles (e.g., “value”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes.

What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs
Fundamental Equity Value Investment Process?
Goldman Sachs’ Fundamental Equity Value Team believes that all successful investing should thoughtfully weigh two important attributes of a stock: price and prospects. Through independent fundamental research, the Team seeks to identify and invest in quality businesses that are selling at compelling valuations.


At the heart of our value investment philosophy is a belief in the rigorous analysis of business fundamentals. Our approach may include:
n | | Meetings with management teams and on-site company visits |
n | | Industry-specific, proprietary financial and valuation models |
n | | Assessment of management quality |
n | | Analysis of each company’s competitive position and industry dynamics |
n | | Interviews with competitors, suppliers and customers |

We seek to invest in companies when we believe:
n | | Market uncertainty exists |
n | | Their economic value is not recognized by the market |

We seek to buy companies with quality characteristics. For us, this means companies that have:
n | | Sustainable operating earnings, or competitive advantage |
n | | Excellent stewardship of capital |
n | | Capability to earn above their cost of capital |
n | | Strong or improving balance sheets and cash flow |

Value portfolios that strive to offer:
| n | | Capital appreciation potential as each company’s true value is recognized in the marketplace | |
| n | | Investment style consistency | |

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Value Funds
Market Review
Overall, U.S. equities advanced for the six months ended February 28, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”) with broad sector participation. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a gain of 6.12%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 5.98%. By the end of the Reporting Period, the S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average each rose to new record highs, and the NASDAQ Composite neared its dot. com era high seen in 2000.
Several macroeconomic themes influenced U.S. equity market performance during the Reporting Period, including the improving domestic economy, the expectation the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would increase interest rates soon, and sharply falling oil prices. More specifically, the U.S. reported Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth well ahead of that of Europe and Japan during the Reporting Period. In addition, the U.S. labor market continued to improve, with unemployment falling to 5.6%, its lowest level since June 2008. In turn, financial markets increasingly focused on the potential that the Fed would increase interest rates, which led to an appreciation of the U.S. dollar against many currencies. At the same time, the price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil fell from more than $90 per barrel at the beginning of the Reporting Period to less than $50 per barrel in January 2015, before recovering modestly in February 2015.
Given this backdrop, the energy sector declined significantly, the only sector in the S&P 500 Index to post a negative return during the Reporting Period. In contrast, both the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors significantly outperformed the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period, as the U.S. equity markets reflected investor sentiment that the combination of an improving economy, healthier job market, strong U.S. dollar and low oil prices would be positive for U.S. consumers. Health care was the best performing sector in the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period, as robust merger and acquisition activity pushed stock prices higher.
For the Reporting Period overall, mid-cap companies performed best, but only modestly ahead of both large-cap and small-cap companies. Growth stocks outpaced value stocks across the capitalization spectrum of the U.S. equity market. (All as measured by Russell Investments indices.)

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed U.S. equities had further upside potential should the U.S. economy continue to accelerate. We believe real earnings growth may well serve as a fundamental driver of performance going forward. We believe U.S. corporate fundamentals are strong, evidenced by both healthy balance sheets and earnings resilience, and should provide companies with a number of options to increase shareholder value. While we acknowledge the potential for headwinds remains, such as geopolitical risks, we ultimately remain constructive on the direction of U.S. equity markets. We believe the U.S. has the best macroeconomic outlook of the developed economies, and we are optimistic on the strengthening U.S. housing and employment markets as well as on the potential for a continued recovery in consumer spending. Consumption, which accounts for approximately 70% of U.S. GDP, may benefit from the combination of low energy prices and a strong U.S. dollar. Furthermore, with strong GDP growth momentum from 2014, we believe an acceleration in earnings growth could continue in the U.S., as the country appears to be less exposed to weaker segments of the global economy given its lower reliance on exports.
Looking forward, we believe that should the U.S. economy continue to improve, companies may reinvest for future growth by increasing capital expenditures, research and development, hiring, and merger and acquisition activity rather than keeping excess cash on balance sheets. From a valuation perspective, we believe U.S. equities remained, at the end of the Reporting Period, fairly valued overall considering the positive macro environment and were inexpensive relative to fixed income. We believe a forward-looking analysis is critical in this investing environment, and we believe stock selection will be increasingly important as companies differentiate themselves on earnings growth and valuation.
Regardless of market direction, our fundamental, bottom-up stock selection continues to drive our process, rather than headlines or sentiment. We maintain high conviction in the companies the Fundamental Equity Value Funds own, and we believe they have the potential to outperform relative to the broader market regardless of economic growth conditions. We continue to focus on undervalued companies that we believe have comparatively greater control of their own destiny, such as innovators with differentiated products, companies with low cost structures, or companies that have been investing in their own businesses and may be poised to gain market share. We maintain our discipline in seeking to identify companies with strong or improving balance sheets, led by quality management teams and trading at discounted valuations, and we maintain our long-term investment perspective.
As always, deep research resources, a forward-looking investment process and truly actively managed portfolios are keys, in our view, to both preserving capital and seeking to outperform the market over the long term.

Changes to the Funds’ Portfolio Management Team during the Reporting Period |
|
Effective February 18, 2015, Timothy Ryan serves as a portfolio manager for the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund. Additionally, Sean Gallagher serves as sole Chief Investment Officer of the Value Equity Investment Team. The other portfolio managers serve as primary research analysts for particular industries. While the entire team debates investment ideas and overall portfolio structure, the final buy/sell decision for a particular security resides primarily with the portfolio manager responsible for that particular industry. As Chief Investment Officer of the Value Equity Investment Team, Mr. Gallagher is ultimately responsible for the composition of the Funds’ portfolio structure at both the stock and industry level. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund
Portfolio Composition
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total net assets in equity investments that the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team considers to have favorable prospects for capital appreciation and/or dividend-paying ability. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, including preferred and convertible securities, master limited partnerships and real estate investment trusts, it may invest up to 25% of its total net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its total net assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations, that offer the potential to further the Fund’s investment objective of long-term capital appreciation and growth of income.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.29%, 2.94%, 3.54%, 3.25%, 3.44% and 3.18%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.48% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Stock selection overall contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also contributed positively to the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Effective stock selection in the information technology, industrials and health care sectors helped the Fund’s relative results most. The only two sectors that detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were energy and consumer discretionary, wherein stock selection proved challenging. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in office supply retailer Staples, grocery chain Kroger and pharmaceuticals company Pfizer. |
| Shares of Staples rose during the Reporting Period, supported by the announcement of an activist investor taking a 5% stake in the company, increasing speculation that a merger with Office Depot could be in the future. We believe the subsequently announced merger between these two companies could be highly accretive. Fundamentally, though, even without the merger, we believe the changing dynamics and near-term consolidation in the office supply industry create favorable tailwinds for the industry and that the market is currently underestimating this potential. We believe Staples’ management team’s decision to proceed with store closures should help to drive down costs and increase productivity in its remaining stores. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were also encouraged by the trajectory of the company’s international business after recent restructuring and leadership changes. |
| Kroger reported positive quarterly earnings results driven by solid execution, which helped the company maintain its positive momentum and drive its shares higher. In line with our view, Kroger was able to gain additional market share from its peers. We also found it positive that its management repurchased its shares at a greater than anticipated rate during the Reporting Period. In our view, Kroger has consistently |
6
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| been able to gain market share, driven by a focus on low prices, high convenience and healthy choices. At the end of the Reporting Period, its margins appeared to have stabilized. We believe its margins may begin to expand following many years of investment to improve its competitive positioning. We also believe its acquisition of Harris Teeter Supermarkets may provide synergies and boost its earnings per share over the next two to three years. We believe that further industry consolidation could be beneficial for the company due to its strong market share and stable cash flows. |
| Pfizer’s shares appreciated as the market started to reflect what we consider to be the true value of its product pipeline. Additionally, Pfizer’s shares reacted positively to the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) accelerated approval of its new drug Ibrance as well as early enthusiasm regarding its immune-oncology assets. Also, share price appreciation was supported by its recently announced acquisition of Hospira, which we believe may well strengthen its biosimilars pipeline. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe Pfizer has strong fundamentals, a number of growth opportunities and an attractive valuation. Indeed, in our view, Pfizer’s pipeline was undervalued at the end of the Reporting Period, and we expect its management to continue to highlight the pipeline value through clinical success. Pfizer also has a strong, highly rated balance sheet with more than $33 billion of cash that we believe provides the company with the financial flexibility to invest for growth and return capital to shareholders. The company also pays what we view as an attractive dividend. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in three oil and gas exploration and production companies — Canadian Oil Sands, Devon Energy and Apache. |
| Shares of Canadian Oil Sands underperformed, as lower oil prices led to cash flow concerns and a subsequent dividend reduction. We believe the company’s capacity utilization has the potential to improve, with its management having made higher capital investments for upgrades in the past few years. Additionally, we believe these recent upgrades should lead to a decrease in capital expenditures over the next few years. With lower oil prices, however, free cash flow generation could be lower than anticipated and not support the company’s dividend, in our view. Thus, while we are encouraged by the company’s new management team, we exited the Fund’s position in the company in early January 2015 to reduce the Fund’s energy exposure, and we reallocated the capital into higher conviction names. |
| Lower oil prices weighed negatively on Devon Energy’s shares and overshadowed the company’s strong results. Despite its underperformance, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the value of Devon Energy’s large North American asset base was not fully recognized at its then current market price. We also remained positive on a number of actions the company has taken to unlock shareholder value. Finally, we believe Devon Energy maintains a strong balance sheet, which could help expedite the development of its oil properties going forward. |
| Similarly, Apache’s shares declined along with the drop in energy prices during the Reporting Period. Still, during 2014, Apache announced the sale of $1.4 billion of non-core assets and the exit of liquid natural gas projects, which consumed capital. We view these sales of non-core assets favorably, as we feel it demonstrates Apache’s commitment to focus on its core business, which we believe has the potential to generate higher returns on investment and more predictable growth. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed its shares as attractively valued given Apache’s balance sheet strength, improving free cash flow generation and potential for increased shareholder distributions. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in diversified financial services company Fifth Third Bancorp based upon its improving returns and what we consider to be its attractive valuation relative to its peers. We believe the bank can continue to improve return on assets and return on equity, as it improves efficiency and sheds legacy costs. In our view, Fifth Third Bancorp’s ability to potentially benefit from eventual rising interest rates may be underappreciated by the market. |
| We established a Fund position in insurance company Aflac. The company has a substantial presence in the supplemental medical insurance market in Japan, where it is the dominant provider of cancer insurance, and a leading presence in the supplemental health and life business in the U.S., especially |
7
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| with smaller firms. We believe the company is a high quality franchise, which at the time of our purchase, featured a reasonable valuation with the potential to benefit from increased capital deployment and improvement in sales. |
| Conversely, in addition to the sale of Canadian Oil Sands, already mentioned, we sold the Fund’s position in semiconductor bellwether Intel. Its stock showed strong performance during the Reporting Period, but we believe it has limited upside potential moving forward. We also see the relatively flat personal computer market continuing and view such as a possible hindrance in the future. While we still believe the company is a well-run, quality business, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in favor of higher conviction opportunities. |
| We sold the Fund’s position in diversified financial services institution Citigroup. Our confidence was tested on Citigroup’s results and execution in non-U.S. markets, where it has an outsized exposure relative to its peers. While we still have a favorable long-term view of the company, we believe the market is fully appreciating the company for now. We therefore eliminated the position in favor of companies we believe have greater upside potential. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the benchmark index in financials and telecommunication services increased as did its position in cash. The Fund’s exposure to energy and information technology decreased compared to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2015? |
A | | At the end of February 2015, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the consumer discretionary, telecommunication services and health care sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in materials, energy, consumer staples and utilities and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in financials, industrials and information technology. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in diversified financial services company Fifth Third Bancorp based upon its improving returns and what we consider to be its attractive valuation relative to its peers. We believe the bank can continue to improve return on assets and return on equity, as it improves efficiency and sheds legacy costs. In our view, Fifth Third Bancorp’s ability to potentially benefit from eventual rising interest rates may be underappreciated by the market. |

These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, 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 returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 1000® Value Index at the time of investment. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, including preferred and convertible securities, it may invest up to 20% of its total net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total net assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.30%, 1.89%, 2.52%, 2.22%, 2.42% and 2.18%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.48% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted from its performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively to the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index were financials, energy and consumer discretionary, where stock selection was comparatively weak. Effective stock selection in the health care, consumer staples and utilities sectors helped the Fund’s relative results most. Having an underweighted allocation to telecommunication services, which lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also added value. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in three oil and gas exploration and production companies — Southwestern Energy, Apache and Devon Energy. |
| Southwestern Energy was a top detractor from the Fund’s relative performance, driven by weaker natural gas prices. Despite the company’s underperformance, we believe its management has executed well on its strategy and, at the end of the Reporting Period, the company was attractively valued relative to its peers. Further, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe that Southwestern Energy has an underappreciated resource base, specifically in the Marcellus and Fayetteville shales, and that its newly acquired assets enhance the company’s position and growth opportunities. Additionally, we remained positive on the company’s operational leverage to higher natural gas prices and encouraged by its management team’s commitment to disciplined growth, costs reductions and shareholder returns. |
| Apache’s shares declined along with the drop in energy prices during the Reporting Period. Still, during 2014, Apache announced the sale of $1.4 billion of non-core assets and the exit of liquid natural gas projects, which consumed capital. We view these sales of non-core assets favorably, as we feel |
13
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| it demonstrates Apache’s commitment to focus on its core business, which we believe has the potential to generate higher returns on investment and more predictable growth. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed its shares as attractively valued given Apache’s balance sheet strength, improving free cash flow generation and potential for increased shareholder distributions. |
| Similarly, lower oil prices weighed negatively on Devon Energy’s shares and overshadowed the company’s strong results. Indeed, despite its underperformance, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the value of Devon Energy’s large North American asset base was not fully recognized at its then current market price. We also remained positive on a number of actions the company has taken to unlock shareholder value. Finally, we believe Devon Energy maintains a strong balance sheet, which could help expedite the development of its oil properties going forward. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in grocery chain Kroger, medical device company Medtronic and pharmaceuticals company Pfizer. |
| Kroger reported positive quarterly earnings results driven by solid execution, which helped the company maintain its positive momentum and drive its shares higher. In line with our view, Kroger was able to gain additional market share from its peers. We also found it positive that its management repurchased its shares at a greater than anticipated rate during the Reporting Period. In our view, Kroger has consistently been able to gain market share, driven by a focus on low prices, high convenience and healthy choices. At the end of the Reporting Period, its margins appeared to have stabilized. We believe its margins may begin to expand following many years of investment to improve its competitive positioning. We also believe its acquisition of Harris Teeter Supermarkets could provide synergies and boost its earnings per share over the next two to three years. We believe that further industry consolidation could be beneficial for the company due to its strong market share and stable cash flows. |
| Following weakness related to an announced corporate tax inversion regulation and its resulting impact on Medtronic’s proposed acquisition of fellow medical device manufacturer Covidien, shares of Medtronic traded higher as the company’s management reaffirmed its commitment to the acquisition and reiterated the transaction’s potential benefits regardless of the new tax guidelines. We believe the deal between Medtronic and Covidien has the potential to provide Medtronic with strengthened revenue growth, earnings accretion driven by substantial cost synergies, improved free cash flow flexibility as well as higher returns on invested capital. In addition, we believe the potential combined entity’s increasingly diversified business could benefit from the continued growth of overall health care spending along with an expansion in medical device utilization as reimbursement and regulatory uncertainties subside. |
| Pfizer’s shares appreciated as the market started to reflect what we consider to be the true value of its product pipeline. Additionally, Pfizer’s shares reacted positively to the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) accelerated approval of its new drug Ibrance as well as early enthusiasm regarding its immune-oncology assets. Also, share price appreciation was supported by its recently announced acquisition of Hospira, which we believe may well strengthen its biosimilars pipeline. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe Pfizer has strong fundamentals, a number of growth opportunities and an attractive valuation. Indeed, in our view, Pfizer’s pipeline was undervalued at the end of the Reporting Period, and we expect its management to continue to highlight the pipeline value through clinical success. Pfizer also has a strong, highly rated balance sheet with more than $33 billion of cash that we believe provides the company with the financial flexibility to invest for growth and return capital to shareholders. The company also pays what we view as an attractive dividend. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in health care products manufacturer Johnson & Johnson after its stock sold off due in part to lower than expected 2015 guidance from its management. Its stock also declined because the market seemed to become incrementally concerned about the company’s pharmaceutical business segment growth given the risk of losing its Remicade patent. At the time of purchase, we believed Johnson & Johnson had become attractively valued relative to its peers. Overall, we believe that Johnson & Johnson is a quality company with strong |
14
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| management that we expect can overcome these issues and maintain its pharmaceuticals segment growth. |
| We established a Fund position in snack food and beverage provider Mondelez International. We believe the company is positioned well within its space, as we view the company as attractively valued when compared to its competitors. We also believe the company shows potential for improvements in the biscuit business in China and to be the beneficiary of a better pricing environment in European chocolate. We are encouraged by the company management team’s efforts to create shareholder value, as demonstrated recently through the implementation of a cost-cutting initiative. Overall, we view Mondelez International as an attractively valued company with a strong management team and compelling upside potential. |
| Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in beauty products manufacturer Estee Lauder. Our exit was motivated by slowing demand in the Hong Kong retail sector relating to the protests, along with the slowing of the China market in general. We felt that Estee Lauder was no longer a compelling position and chose to reallocate the capital into companies with what we considered to have more attractive risk/reward profiles. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in semiconductor bellwether Intel. Its stock showed strong performance during the Reporting Period, but we believe it has limited upside potential moving forward. While we still believe the company is a well-run, quality business, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in favor of higher conviction opportunities. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocation compared to the benchmark index in consumer discretionary increased as did its position in cash. The Fund’s exposure to health care and industrials decreased compared to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2015? |
A | | At the end of February 2015, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in financials, materials, utilities and energy and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer staples, health care, industrials and telecommunication services. |

Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in mid-cap U.S. equity investments that are believed to be undervalued or undiscovered by the marketplace. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its total net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its total net assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.62%, 3.24%, 3.80%, 3.56%, 3.73% and 3.47%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.68% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated absolute gains, but sector allocation overall detracted from its performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection as a whole contributed positively, albeit modestly, to relative results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting from the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index was stock selection in the financials and industrials sectors. Having an overweighted allocation to the poorly performing energy sector and exposure to cash during months when the Russell Index gained ground also hurt. Effective stock selection in the consumer staples, health care and information technology sectors helped the Fund’s relative results most. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in three oil and gas exploration and production companies — Southwestern Energy, QEP Resources and Cimarex Energy. |
| Southwestern Energy was a top detractor from the Fund’s relative performance, driven by weaker natural gas prices. Despite the company’s underperformance, we believe its management has executed well on its strategy and, at the end of the Reporting Period, the company was attractively valued relative to its peers. Further, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe that Southwestern Energy has an underappreciated resource base, specifically in the Marcellus and Fayetteville shales, and that its newly acquired assets enhance the company’s position and growth opportunities. Additionally, we remained positive on the company’s operational leverage to higher natural gas prices and encouraged by its management team’s commitment to disciplined growth, costs reductions and shareholder returns. |
| Although QEP Resources beat consensus earnings estimates and successfully sold its midstream business during the fourth quarter of 2014, shares of the company declined as a result of weaker energy prices. (The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side, i.e., energy producers, and the demand side, i.e., energy end-users, for any type of energy commodity. Midstream |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities.) While we continue to have a positive long-term outlook on QEP Resources, we exited the position in efforts to reduce the Fund’s oil exposure and reallocated the proceeds into a higher conviction name. |
| Similarly, shares of Cimarex Energy declined as lower oil prices negatively weighed on investor sentiment. Also, Cimarex Energy has relatively limited hedges to the dropping oil prices in place, so this means it may have to begin cutting its capital expenditures aggressively, which would likely, in turn, signify a drop in production. The company’s strong production growth outlook preceding the oil price drop, high quality Permian assets and strong balance sheet had attracted us to the name. However, we sold the Fund’s position in Cimarex Energy during the Reporting Period based on our concerns about what we believed to be an impending drop in production and a premium valuation. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in global specialty health care company Endo International, grocery chain Kroger and global health service organization Cigna. |
| Shares of Endo International rose during the Reporting Period, as the company’s acquisition of Auxilium Pharmaceuticals was finalized, a deal that we believe will be accretive moving forward. The company also reported strong third quarter 2014 earnings, which had a positive impact on its share price. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained encouraged by Endo International’s merger and acquisition activity and by what we consider to be its strong product pipeline and experienced management team. We thus believed the stock to be compelling from a risk/reward perspective. Indeed, despite strong performance during the Reporting Period, we continued to view its shares as attractively valued relative to its peers. |
| Kroger reported positive quarterly earnings results driven by solid execution, which helped the company maintain its positive momentum and drive its shares higher. In line with our view, Kroger was able to gain additional market share from its peers. We also found it positive that its management repurchased its shares at a greater than anticipated rate during the Reporting Period. In our view, Kroger has consistently been able to gain market share, driven by a focus on low prices, high convenience and healthy choices. At the end of the Reporting Period, its margins appeared to have stabilized. We believe its margins may begin to expand following many years of investment to improve its competitive positioning. We also believe its acquisition of Harris Teeter Supermarkets could provide synergies and boost its earnings per share over the next two to three years. We believe that further industry consolidation could be beneficial for the company due to its strong market share and stable cash flows. |
| Shares of Cigna benefited during the Reporting Period from better than expected results in its third and fourth quarter 2014 earnings and from better than expected earnings guidance for 2015. According to its statements, the company expected to double its size over the next seven to eight years through organic growth and future capital deployment. We also see upside potential in the company’s margin guidance for its Medicare Advantage and individual exchange portfolios. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in Broadcom, a company that provides semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications. Broadcom is a market leader in merchant silicon for Ethernet switches, which we believe should benefit both from leading network vendors choosing merchant silicon over custom application-specific integrated circuits and from the secular growth in white box switches, which typically use merchant silicon. We are also positive on its management’s recent decisions to take steps to maximize shareholder value, as demonstrated by the decisions to exit the baseband business and align management incentives with shareholders’ interests. Despite the stock’s strong performance during the Reporting Period, we believe its shares remained attractively valued at the end of February 2015. |
| We established a Fund position in Devon Energy. Despite its recent underperformance, we believe the value of Devon Energy’s large North American asset base is not fully recognized at its market price at the time of our purchase, and we are positive on a number of actions the company has taken to unlock shareholder value. Further, we believe Devon |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Energy maintains a strong balance sheet, which could help expedite the development of its oil properties going forward. |
| Conversely, in addition to the sales of Cimarex Energy and QEP Resources, already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in Agilent Technologies, a leading global life science and analytical measurement company. While we were optimistic about Agilent Technology’s health care business, we eliminated the Fund position due to the company’s exposure to energy end-markets, which we felt may lead to increased downside risk potential. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, consumer staples and information technology increased as did its position in cash. The Fund’s exposure to the energy, financials, health care, industrials and materials sectors decreased compared to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2015? |
A | | At the end of February 2015, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples, information technology and energy sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in financials, utilities and materials and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in health care and industrials. The Fund had no allocation to telecommunication services at the end of February 2015. |

| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, 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 returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of investment. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investment horizon for ownership of stocks will be two to three years. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in small-cap U.S. equity investments that are believed to be undervalued or undiscovered by the marketplace. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its total net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its total net assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.95%, 3.56%, 4.14%, 3.89%, 4.06% and 3.81%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.31% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Stock selection overall contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Effective stock selection in the consumer discretionary, energy and financials sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was weak stock selection in the health care and telecommunication services sectors, having an overweighted allocation to the poorly performing materials sector and having exposure to cash during a Reporting Period when the Russell Index gained ground. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in casual restaurant operator and franchiser Jack in the Box, oil and gas exploration and production company SM Energy and lodging resort Diamond Resorts International. |
| | Jack in the Box operates and franchises Jack in the Box and Qdoba Mexican Grill restaurants. During the Reporting Period, Jack in the Box reported two consecutive quarters of earnings that exceeded consensus expectations, benefiting from robust same-store sales growth at both business chains. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Jack in the Box’s management team was executing well, and we remained optimistic on the potential for significant unit growth moving forward. In addition, in our view, Jack in the Box is supported by strong free cash flow generation, and we believe its operating margins can expand through more efficient business operations. |
| | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in SM Energy. We view SM Energy as a high quality company supported by a well-capitalized balance sheet and a strong, low cost position in the Eagle Ford shale. We established the Fund position in SM Energy at what we viewed as an attractive valuation following recent broad-based energy sector weakness due to sharply declining crude oil and natural gas prices. From our purchase date through the end of |
27
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| the Reporting Period, SM Energy’s stock recovered and outperformed the Russell Index based on strong execution and operational performance by the company and on some recovery and seeming stabilization in crude oil prices. |
| | Strong quarterly earnings during the Reporting Period helped drive up shares of Diamond Resorts International. We view the company’s $100 million share buyback program, announced in October 2014, as a positive for shareholder value. Its acquisitions of Hospitality Management and Consulting Services was also a positive, in our view, and should, we believe, lead to a more transparent management structure for the company. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in three oil and gas exploration and production companies — Rex Energy, Laredo Petroleum and Rice Energy. |
| | Shares of Rex Energy traded lower largely due to investor concerns about the recent decline in natural gas prices and the potential resulting impact of such on the company’s operations. At the end of December 2014, Rex Energy’s shares continued to move lower after the company announced a meaningful reduction to its 2015 capital expenditure budget. However, we believe this decision demonstrates financial discipline, and, at the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to be optimistic on the company’s outlook. Overall, we view Rex Energy as well positioned in areas that could experience significant production growth, and we are positive on its management’s commitment to strengthening the company’s operational results going forward. |
| | At the beginning of November 2014, Laredo Petroleum reported better than expected earnings, highlighted by solid production results. However, its shares underperformed as lower oil prices during the fourth calendar quarter weighed negatively on investor sentiment. Despite what we believe may well be short-term weakness, we remained constructive at the end of the Reporting Period on the company’s acreage in the core of the Midland Basin, and we anticipate that Laredo Petroleum’s production and reserve growth could accelerate in this area going forward. Additionally, we view the company’s decision to reduce its 2015 capital expenditure budget favorably, as it demonstrates financial discipline. |
| | Rice Energy reported lower than anticipated third quarter 2014 earnings per share, but earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) exceeded investor expectations. As the Reporting Period progressed, Rice Energy’s shares were adversely impacted by the decline in energy prices. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained the Fund’s position in Rice Energy because, in our view, its prominent acreage in the Marcellus and Utica shales has the potential to drive strong results for the company. Additionally, Rice Energy is supported by a management team seemingly committed to high returns, and we believe the company’s growth opportunities in the Upper Devonian Shale were not fully reflected in the stock’s valuation at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase of SM Energy, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Curtiss-Wright during the Reporting Period. Curtiss-Wright designs, manufactures and overhauls precision components and systems, providing engineered services to the aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, power generation, metal working and fire and rescue industries. Curtiss-Wright has undergone a significant management change and strategic refocus over the last year or so. The company has stated it is looking to drive higher organic growth, margins and returns on invested capital by divesting less profitable businesses, realigning the organization and driving productivity improvements. Its management also seems to be committed to using cash flow for strategic bolt-on acquisitions as well as share repurchases. (A bolt-on acquisition is the acquisition of a company where the acquiring company intends to merge the target company into one of its departments.) We believe the company is in the early stages of its transformation and still has significant room for operational improvement in the coming years combined with capital deployment. |
| Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in oil and gas exploration and production company RSP Permian. The decision to sell the Fund’s position in RSP Permian was based on the company’s valuation, which we believe became |
28
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| in line with our expectations. In our view, the valuation at the time of sale left the company with limited upside potential, and we therefore decided to transition the capital into names that we believed had greater upside potential. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in Cleco, a Louisiana-based public utility holding company. We had initiated the Fund’s position in Cleco based on our positive outlook on the company’s above-average earnings growth prospects and its management’s focus on allocating free cash flow in a shareholder-friendly manner. Additionally, we viewed Cleco as a potential acquisition candidate. Indeed, in October 2014, its shares rose sharply after Cleco announced plans to be acquired by a group of infrastructure investors. Following the announcement, we exited the Fund’s position and transitioned the capital into names we believed had greater upside potential. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocation compared to the benchmark index in consumer discretionary increased as did its position in cash. The Fund’s exposure to the materials and utilities sectors decreased compared to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2015? |
A | | At the end of February 2015, the Fund was overweighted in materials and underweighted in financials relative to the Russell Index. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the other eight sectors in the Russell Index at the end of February 2015. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase of SM Energy, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Curtiss-Wright during the Reporting Period. Curtiss-Wright designs, manufactures and overhauls precision components and systems, providing engineered services to the aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, power generation, metal working and fire and rescue industries.

Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small- and mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell Midcap Value Index, respectively, at the time of investment. As of September 30, 2014, the capitalization range of the companies in these indexes was between $56 million and $30.6 billion. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investment horizon for ownership of stocks will be two to three years. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may also invest in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may invest in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell Midcap Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.76%, 2.45%, 3.11%, 2.89% and 2.63%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.87% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Stock selection overall contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Effective stock selection in the consumer discretionary, energy and information technology sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was stock selection in the industrials, health care and utilities sectors. Having a portion of assets in cash during a Reporting Period when the Russell Index gained ground also detracted. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in casual restaurant operator and franchiser Jack in the Box, global specialty health care company Endo International and real estate investment trust Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. |
| | Jack in the Box operates and franchises Jack in the Box and Qdoba Mexican Grill restaurants. During the Reporting Period, Jack in the Box reported two consecutive quarters of earnings that exceeded consensus expectations, benefiting from robust same-store sales growth at both business chains. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Jack in the Box’s management team was executing well, and we remained optimistic on the potential for significant unit growth moving forward. In addition, in our view, Jack in the Box is supported by strong free cash flow generation, and we believe its operating margins can expand through more efficient business operations. |
| | Shares of Endo International rose during the Reporting Period, as the company’s acquisition of Auxilium Pharmaceuticals was finalized, a deal that we believe will be accretive moving forward. The company also reported strong third quarter 2014 earnings, which had a positive impact on its share price. At the end of the Reporting Period, we |
34
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| remained encouraged by Endo International’s merger and acquisition activity and by what we consider to be its strong product pipeline and experienced management team. We thus believed the stock to be compelling from a risk/reward perspective. Indeed, despite strong performance during the Reporting Period, we continued to view its shares as attractively valued relative to its peers. |
| | Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, an owner of upper-upscale and luxury hotel properties in high barrier U.S. urban markets, was another top contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. At the industry level, U.S. hotels experienced better than expected revenue per available room (“RevPar”) growth during the Reporting Period. Shares of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust also benefited from an improving macroeconomic backdrop given the company’s favorable geographic exposure and highly regarded management team. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on Pebblebrook Hotel Trust’s potential for both margin expansion and earnings growth over the long term, and we also continued to be positive on its management’s profitable track record of capital allocation. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in three oil and gas exploration and production companies — Laredo Petroleum, QEP Resources and Eclipse Resources. |
| | At the beginning of November 2014, Laredo Petroleum reported better than expected earnings, highlighted by solid production results. However, its shares underperformed as lower oil prices during the fourth calendar quarter weighed negatively on investor sentiment. Despite what we believe may well be short-term weakness, we remained constructive at the end of the Reporting Period on the company’s acreage in the core of the Midland Basin, and we anticipate that Laredo Petroleum’s production and reserve growth could accelerate in this area going forward. Additionally, we view the company’s decision to reduce its 2015 capital expenditure budget favorably, as it demonstrates financial discipline. |
| | Although QEP Resources beat consensus earnings estimates and successfully sold its midstream business during the fourth quarter of 2014, shares of the company declined as a result of weaker energy prices. (The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side, i.e., energy producers, and the demand side, i.e., energy end-users, for any type of energy commodity. Midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities.) We initiated the Fund’s position in QEP Resources during the Reporting Period given our positive outlook on its management making a decision to the sell the remaining part of its midstream business in 2014. We also believe QEP Resources possesses an attractive risk/reward profile relative to its peers and are constructive its management’s strategic initiatives to transform the company into a focused and balanced exploration and production company. |
| | We had bought Eclipse Resources, a Marcellus and Utica shale exploration and production company, on its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) in the Fund’s prior fiscal year. Given the company’s focus on natural gas, we believed the position would provide some balance in the Fund’s portfolio, which had many oil-exposed names. However, the stock has underperformed since the IPO due to natural gas price weakness during the Reporting Period and on investor concerns over infrastructure/takeaway capacity constraints out of the Marcellus and Utica shales. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe Eclipse Resources had “best in class” acreage in the Marcellus and Utica shales, but after persistent underperformance, we decided to exit the Fund’s position and transition the capital into names that we believed have greater upside potential. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase of QEP Resources, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Bank of Hawaii during the Reporting Period. In our view, Bank of Hawaii is a well-managed, high quality banking franchise with dominant market share in the Hawaiian Islands. Its management has a long track record of delivering high returns on a conservatively-managed balance sheet. Hawaii has been benefiting from a strong tourist trade, and its economy has been expanding at a solid rate. Hawaii is one of the most energy-dependent states, moreover, and is expected to benefit disproportionately from lower oil prices. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase of QEP Resources, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Bank of Hawaii during the Reporting Period. In our view, Bank of Hawaii is a well-managed, high quality banking franchise with dominant share in the Hawaiian Islands. Its management has a long track record of delivering high returns on a conservatively-managed balance sheet. Hawaii has been benefiting from a strong tourist trade, and its economy has been expanding at a solid rate. Hawaii is one of the most energy-dependent states, moreover, and is expected to benefit disproportionately from lower oil prices. |
| We established a Fund position in Empire State Realty Trust, the owner of the Empire State Building as well as other office and retail properties in New York City. We believe its shares were trading, at the time of the Fund’s purchase, at an unwarranted discount relative to its peers due to concerns over new supply in the observatory market. We recognize the potential for new competition in this space. However, we believe investors are underappreciating what we view as the company’s significant growth potential and high quality balance sheet. In addition, we believe Empire State Realty Trust’s upcoming re-leasing opportunities could lead to meaningful increases in the company’s rental rates. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we sold the Fund’s position in TRW Automotive Holdings. After the announcement was made late in 2014 that ZF Friedrichshafen would be acquiring TRW Automotive Holdings, its shares surged higher. This strong performance had the company trading near our target price, and so we decided to exit the Fund’s position in favor of other high conviction opportunities. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in Oil States International in early January 2015 because the company had outperformed its peer group and because we sought to reduce the Fund’s exposure to oil services. We opted to reallocate the proceeds to higher conviction natural gas exploration and production names. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the benchmark index in consumer staples and information technology increased. The Fund’s exposure to the energy sector decreased compared to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2015? |
A | | At the end of February 2015, the Fund was overweighted in consumer discretionary, consumer staples, information technology and materials relative to the Russell Index. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in financials, industrials and utilities and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in energy and health care. The Fund had no allocation to telecommunication services at the end of February 2015. |

| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The Russell 2500 Value Index is composed of the smallest 2,500 of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecast growth values. It is calculated by Frank Russell Company, and reflects reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| | Class R | | | 10.66 | | | | 1/31/2014 | |
| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are cumulative annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, 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 returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site atwww.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Growth and Income, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value | | A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R | | Diversified |
Small/Mid Cap Value (Commenced January 31, 2014) | | A, C, Institutional, IR and R | | Diversified |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Class IR and Class R Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
At the close of business on November 14, 2014, Class B Shares of each applicable Fund were converted to Class A Shares of the Fund.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income and dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT. Distributions from Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent and Service and Shareholder Administration fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.
D. Organization and Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of Small/Mid Cap Value Fund were amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations. Organization costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund were expensed on the first day of operations.
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Growth and Income | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value | | | | 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 Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
F. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
G. Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of certain Funds, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to a Fund as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Statements of Operations.
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
The Trustees have adopted Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities and investment companies traded on a 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 there is no sale or official closing price or it is believed by the investment adviser to not represent fair value, 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.
Investments in Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund are valued at the NAV of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund may invest in debt securities which are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers, if market quotations are readily available, or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit deterioration are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. With the exception of treasury securities, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit deterioration are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short Term Investments — Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
An MRA governs transactions between a Fund 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 Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund are less than the repurchase price and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, a court could determine that a Fund’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Under these joint accounts, the Funds maintain pro-rata credit exposure to the underlying repurchase agreements’ counterparties. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that the aforementioned significant inputs are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its
74

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the six months ended February 28, 2015, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. Where the application of the above contractual management fee breakpoint schedule would result in a lower management fee rate, the breakpoint schedule will be applied to the Fund’s assets. |
B. Distribution and Service Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, 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 Fund’s average daily net assets of each respective share class:

D. Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan. These plans allow for service organizations to provide varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the 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 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 Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for Growth and Income, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds are 0.004%, 0.004%, 0.004% and 0.044%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2015, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. The Funds bear their respective
78

share of costs related to proxy and shareholder meetings, and GSAM has agreed to reimburse each Fund to the extent such expenses exceed a specified percentage of the Fund’s net assets. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the six months ended February 28, 2015, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2015, the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 28, 2015, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 28, 2015, Goldman Sachs earned $6,367, $476,908, $67,940 and $36 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Growth and Income, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds, respectively.
An investment by a Fund representing greater than 5% of the voting securities of an issuer makes that issuer an affiliated person (as defined by the Act) of such Fund.

As of February 28, 2015, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Growth and Income | | | Large Cap Value | | | Mid Cap Value | | | Small Cap Value | | | Small/Mid Cap Value | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 407,118,624 | | | $ | 1,349,892,148 | | | $ | 8,156,233,239 | | | $ | 5,237,027,292 | | | $ | 15,605,036 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 71,997,686 | | | | 211,923,353 | | | | 1,525,266,687 | | | | 1,487,953,602 | | | | 971,247 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (7,112,645 | ) | | | (29,338,242 | ) | | | (185,632,335 | ) | | | (152,431,861 | ) | | | (108,559 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | $ | 64,885,041 | | | $ | 182,585,111 | | | $ | 1,339,634,352 | | | $ | 1,335,521,741 | | | $ | 862,688 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, differences related to the tax treatment of partnerships, underlying fund investments, real estate investment trusts and passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange traded fund (“ETF”), a Fund will directly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A 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 Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance
81

|
7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
to the extent that a 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 Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.
Liquidity Risk — The Funds may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Master Limited Partnership Risk — Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2015 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR or Class R Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR or Class R Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |

Item 4(e)(1) — Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”) sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for GST may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the Audit Committee Chairman or the person designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the Policy. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.
De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by GST at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.
Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GST’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to GST, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GST’s investment advisers (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provide ongoing services to GST) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of GST.
Item 4(e)(2) – 0% of the audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees listed in Table 1 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. In addition, 0% of the non-audit services to the GST’s service affiliates listed in Table 2 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
Item 4(f) – Not applicable.
Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure
The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST by PwC for the twelve months ended August 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 were approximately $939,217 and $819,198 respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates by PwC for non-audit services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were approximately $9.8 million and $10.0 million respectively. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2013 and 2012 amounts include fees for non-audit services required to be pre-approved [see Table 2] and fees for non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to GST’s operations or financial reporting.
Item 4(h) — GST’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to GST’s investment adviser and service affiliates that did not require pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
