Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
This is not a complete list of risks that may affect the Funds. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Funds, please see the Funds’ Prospectus.
The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity investments in large-capitalization U.S. equity issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the United States. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. The Fund is also subject to the risks associated with writing (selling) call options, which limits the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option. In a rising market, the Fund could significantly underperform the market, and the Fund’s options strategies may not fully protect it against declines in the value of the market. The Investment Adviser’s use of quantitative models to execute the Fund’s investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result. Different investment styles (e.g., “quantitative”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the pre-tax performance of the Fund may be lower than the performance of a similar fund that is not tax-managed. No assurance can be offered that the Fund’s tax-managed strategies will reduce the amount of taxable income and capital gains distributed by the Fund to shareholders.
The Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular sectors and/or general economic conditions. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. The Fund is also subject to the risks associated with writing (selling) call options, which limits the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Advantaged
Equity Funds
Market Review
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”), U.S. and international equities generated positive returns.
U.S. Equities
In the U.S., economic data generally improved during the Reporting Period. First quarter 2015 U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) came in weaker than expected, though many of the contributing factors were deemed temporary, such as severe winter weather and a port strike on the west coast. Importantly, unemployment continued to steadily fall, reaching a low of 5.4%, and the housing market continued to improve. Consumer spending was slightly softer than expected early in the Reporting Period, but progressively bettered, with strong retail sales growth and robust auto sales in May 2015.
Throughout the Reporting Period, markets focused on the timing of the first interest rate increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) since 2006. Given the unexpectedly weak economy in the first quarter of 2015, many market participants extended their forecasts for an initial rate hike, or “lift-off”, from September 2015 to December 2015.
The West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil benchmark price fell from a high of $107 per barrel in June 2014 to a low of $43 per barrel in March 2015 before rebounding to almost $60 per barrel by the end of April 2015 and remaining around that level for the rest of the Reporting Period. Market participants perceived the combination of lower energy prices, better employment prospects and an improving housing market as beneficial for consumers. Thus, stocks of many consumer companies rose in anticipation of increasing consumption. Health care stocks generally performed well, as many companies have been meeting or beating earnings estimates, and merger and acquisition activity remained robust.
U.S. equities, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, gained 1.23% during the Reporting Period. Five of the ten sectors within the S&P 500® Index were up, with the health care (+9.51%) and consumer discretionary (+6.82%) sectors posting the largest gains in absolute terms. The health care sector was the largest contributor on the basis of impact, which takes both weightings and total returns into account.
While returns overall were muted, most segments of the U.S. equity market advanced during the Reporting Period, with small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, gaining most, followed by mid-cap stocks and then large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index and Russell 1000® Index, respectively. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks significantly outpaced value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the Russell Investments indices.)

MARKET REVIEW
International Equities
Central bank policy, currency trends and sharp oil price declines were major themes affecting international equities during the Reporting Period. Both the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) employed easy monetary policy in an effort to stimulate economic growth. With interest rates near zero in both regions, the euro and yen fell against the U.S. dollar, which helped increase exports, an important source of revenue to companies in Europe and Japan. The euro sank to a 12-year low against the U.S. dollar in March 2015 before rebounding slightly through the remainder of the Reporting Period. The impact of the weaker euro was already noticeable in European corporate earnings reports during the Reporting Period, many of which were better than expected. Similarly, Japanese companies began to benefit from the weak yen. In our view, strong equity markets in Europe and Japan reflected the positive impact of weak currencies on corporate earnings growth as well as optimism that monetary stimulus would stave off deflation and promote economic growth.
Toward the end of the Reporting Period, the uncertainty and rising intensity of Greece’s negotiations with European Union (“EU”) leaders weighed on global financial markets, particularly European equities. The Greek government took the unusual step of calling a referendum on whether Greece should accept the deal offered by its creditors. The ECB voted against providing any additional emergency liquidity assistance to Greek banks in the meantime, forcing Greece to close its banks until after the referendum.
The sharp drop in oil prices also impacted international equity markets during the Reporting Period. The international Brent crude oil benchmark price fell from a high of $115 per barrel in June 2014 to a low of $47 per barrel in January 2015 before rebounding to just more than $65 per barrel at the beginning of May 2015 and settling in a range of approximately $60 to $65 per barrel through the end of June 2015. The low crude oil price forced many energy companies to lower earnings.
Market participants perceived the combination of lower energy prices, aggressive monetary stimulus and improving economies as beneficial for consumers in Europe and Japan as well as for sales of European and Japanese consumer products in the U.S. In turn, stocks of many consumer companies rose in anticipation of increasing consumption. Health care stocks generally performed well, as many companies have been meeting or beating earnings estimates, and merger and acquisition activity remained robust.
International equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 5.52% in U.S. dollar terms during the Reporting Period. Sixteen of the 21 countries in the MSCI EAFE Index were up for the Reporting Period, with Denmark (+19.10%), Japan (+12.82%) and Ireland (+12.42%) posting the largest gains in absolute terms. Japan was also the largest positive contributor on the basis of impact, which takes both weightings and total returns into account.
Eight of the 10 sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index were up, with health care (+8.40%) and consumer discretionary (+7.78%) contributing most positively to returns. The financials (+6.44%) sector was the largest positive contributor on the basis of impact, which takes both weightings and total returns into account.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
In the months ahead, we expect less expensive stocks to outpace more expensive stocks. We also believe that stocks with good momentum may outperform those with poor momentum. Our plan is to seek profitable companies with positive fundamentals, sustainable earnings and a track record of using capital to enhance shareholder value. To that end, we anticipate remaining fully invested, with long-term performance likely to be the result of stock selection rather than sector or capitalization allocations.
We stand behind our investment philosophy that sound economic investment principles, coupled with a disciplined quantitative approach, can provide potentially strong, uncorrelated returns over the long term. Our research agenda is robust, and we continue to enhance our existing models, add new proprietary forecasting signals and improve our trading execution as we seek to provide the most value to our shareholders.
All sector and country returns quoted herein are based on cumulative total returns.

INVESTMENT PROCESS
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and
Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend
and Premium Funds’ Investment Process?
The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund seeks to maximize income and total return. The Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund seeks to maximize total return with an emphasis on income. Their portfolios consist primarily of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks.1 By investing in these securities, and through the use of option call writing, the Funds seek to generate an attractive after-tax cash flow.

A diversified portfolio:
n | | Create a diversified large-cap equity portfolio that participates in all industries and sectors. |
n | | Emphasize higher dividend-paying stocks within each industry and sector. |
Written call options:
n | | The Funds utilize index call writing to seek to enhance their cash flow. |

n | | We use proprietary quantitative techniques, including optimization tools, a risk model and a transactions cost model, in identifying a portfolio of stocks that we believe may enhance expected dividend yield while limiting deviations when compared to the S&P 500 Index or MSCI EAFE Index, as applicable. |

n | | A fully invested, style-consistent portfolio. |
n | | The Funds seek attractive after-tax cash flow from qualified dividends, long-term capital gains and option call writing. |
n | | The Funds seek to enhance after-tax returns by generating distributions primarily from qualified dividends and long-term capital gains. |
1 | | Dividends are not guaranteed and a company’s future ability to pay dividends may be limited. |
| | There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met. |
| | Diversification does not protect an investor from market risk and does not ensure a profit |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 30, 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 and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.59%, 2.22%, 2.80% and 2.72%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.23% cumulative total return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “S&P 500® Index”), during the same period. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the secondary benchmark, returned -0.10%. Although the Fund does not invest in fixed income securities, maximizing income is part of the Fund’s investment objective, and therefore we believe that a comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is useful to investors. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sale of call options on the S&P 500® Index contributed positively to the Fund’s total return during the Reporting Period. (A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date.) |
| Security selection also added to the Fund’s relative performance. More specifically, the Fund benefited from its holdings in the financials, industrials and materials sectors. The Fund was overweight relative to the S&P 500® Index in the financials and materials sectors and underweight in the industrials sector. Conversely, the Fund was hurt by stock picks in the telecommunication services, consumer discretionary and health care sectors. The Fund was overweight compared to the S&P 500® Index in the telecommunication services and consumer discretionary sectors and was underweight in the health care sector. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s call writing affect its performance? |
A | | Consistent with our investment approach, we wrote index call options on a portion of the stock portfolio’s market value. When the Fund sells an index call option, it retains the premium it receives from the sale. However, if the purchaser exercises the option, the Fund is obligated to pay the purchaser the difference between the price of the index and the exercise price of the option. Although the Fund retains the premium it receives from the sale of the option, the premium may not exceed the difference in the value of the index as call options are exercised. This is what happened during the Reporting Period for certain of the Fund’s options positions, however, our call writing overall contributed positively to performance. |
| Overall, call option writing tends to reduce Fund volatility. Since its inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been 18.86% compared to the realized volatility of the S&P 500® Index of 20.43%. During the Reporting Period, the realized daily volatility of the Fund was 10.42% compared to the realized volatility of the S&P 500® Index of 12.02%. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s dividend yield during the Reporting Period? |
A | | While maintaining industry and sector weights consistent with the S&P 500® Index, we favor stocks with higher dividend yields. The dividend yield of the Fund during the Reporting Period was 2.79% compared to 2.10% for the S&P 500® Index (Dividend yield is a ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends in a year divided by its share price). The Fund’s dividend yield served to enhance its quarterly net income distributions. For the Reporting Period, the Standardized 30-Day Subsidized Yield was 1.93% and the Standardized 30-Day Unsubsidized Yield was 1.89%. |
7
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Among individual holdings, which stocks contributed most to the Fund’s results? |
| Relative to the S&P 500® Index, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in Kraft Foods Group, a packaged food maker; New York Community Bancorp, the fourth-largest U.S. thrift; and Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical company. The Fund held all three stocks largely because of their attractive dividend yields. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the S&P 500® Index, the Fund was hurt by overweight positions in CenturyLink, a telecommunication services company; Duke Energy, an electric and gas utility; and Wynn Resorts, a developer and operator of high end hotels and casinos. The Fund held all three stocks largely due to their attractive dividend yields. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used equity index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to equitize the Fund’s excess cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s excess cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of equity index futures. Consistent with our investment approach, we also wrote equity index options on a portion of the portfolio’s market value in an effort to generate premiums. |
Q | | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We made no changes to our quantitative model during the Reporting Period. |

| 4 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |

In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 30, 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 and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.20%, 1.78%, 2.31% and 2.23%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.52% cumulative total return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net, USD, unhedged). The Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, the secondary benchmark, returned -3.08%. Although the Fund does not invest in fixed income securities, maximizing income is part of the Fund’s investment objective, and therefore we believe that a comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index is useful to investors. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sale of index call options detracted from the Fund’s total return during the Reporting Period. (A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date.) |
| Security selection also hampered the Fund’s relative performance. More specifically, the Fund was hurt by its holdings in the financials, industrials and utilities sectors. The Fund was overweight relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in all three sectors. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from stock choices in the consumer discretionary, materials and information technology sectors. Compared to the MSCI EAFE Index, the Fund was overweight in the consumer discretionary sector, underweight in the materials sector and relatively neutral in the information technology sector during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s call writing affect its performance? |
A | | Consistent with our investment approach, we wrote index call options on a portion of the stock portfolio’s market value, primarily on the Japanese, United Kingdom and European indices. When the Fund sells an index call option, it retains the premium it receives from the sale. However, if the purchaser exercises the option, the Fund is obligated to pay the purchaser the difference between the price of the index and the exercise price of the option. Although the Fund retains the premium it receives from the sale of the option, the premium may not exceed the difference in the value of the index as call options are exercised. This is what happened during the Reporting Period when the MSCI EAFE Index appreciated, and thus the Fund’s call writing detracted from performance. |
| Overall, call option writing tends to reduce Fund volatility. However, since its inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been 22.96% compared to the realized volatility of the MSCI EAFE Index of 20.96%. During the Reporting Period, realized daily volatility of the Fund was 12.44% compared to the realized volatility of the MSCI EAFE Index of 12.31%.1 |
Q | | What was the Fund’s dividend yield during the Reporting Period? |
A | | While maintaining industry and sector weights consistent with the MSCI EAFE Index, we favor stocks with higher dividend yields. The dividend yield of the Fund at the end of the Reporting Period was 3.87% compared to 3.17% for the MSCI EAFE Index (Dividend yield is a ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends in a year divided by its share price). The Fund’s dividend yield served to enhance its quarterly net income distributions. For the Reporting Period, |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| the Standardized 30-Day Subsidized Yield was 2.70% and the Standardized 30-Day Unsubsidized Yield was 2.70%. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was hurt by its overweight positions in Engie, a French electric utility; Banco Santander, a Spanish banking group; and Insurance Australia Group, an insurance company. The Fund held all three stocks largely due to their attractive dividend yields. |
Q | | Among individual holdings, which stocks contributed most to the Fund’s results? |
A | | The Fund benefited from its overweight positions in Persimmon, a British housebuilding company; Takeda Pharmaceutical, a Japan-based pharmaceutical company; and Nokian Renkaat, a Finland-headquartered tire manufacturer. The Fund held these stocks largely because of their attractive dividend yields and/or risk metrics. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used equity index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to equitize the Fund’s excess cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s excess cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of equity index futures. Consistent with our investment approach, we also wrote equity index options on a portion of the portfolio’s market value in an effort to generate premiums. |
Q | | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We made no changes to our quantitative model during the Reporting Period. |

INVESTMENT PROCESS
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Management Investment Process?
In managing money for many of the world’s wealthiest taxable investors, Goldman Sachs often constructs a diversified investment portfolio around a tax-managed core. With the Goldman Sachs Tax-Managed Equity Fund and International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, investors can access Goldman Sachs’ tax-smart investment expertise while capitalizing on this same strategic approach to portfolio construction.
Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Management Investment Process
The Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Management investment process is a disciplined quantitative approach that has been consistently applied since 1989. With the Goldman Sachs Tax-Managed Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, the investment process is enhanced with an additional layer that seeks to maximize after-tax returns.

Advantage: Daily analysis of approximately 3,000 U.S. and international equity securities using a proprietary model.

n | | Sector and size neutral |
Tax optimization is an additional layer that is built into the existing Structured investment process — a distinct advantage. While other managers may simply seek to minimize taxable distributions through a low turnover strategy, this extension of the Structured investment process seeks to maximize after-tax returns — the true objective of every taxable investor.
Advantage: Value added through stock selection — not market timing, industry rotation or style bias.

n | | A fully invested, style-consistent portfolio |
n | | Broad access to the total U.S. and international equity markets |
n | | A consistent goal of seeking to maximize after-tax risk-adjusted returns |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 30, 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 and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.06%, -0.30%, 0.28%, 0.06% and 0.23%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.94% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index (the “Index”), over the same time period. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Security selection detracted from relative performance during the Reporting Period. Two of the six themes within our quantitative model dampened relative returns. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and its six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by the Fund’s different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, two of our investment themes — Valuation and Quality — detracted from Fund performance. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. |
| Sentiment and Momentum added to the Fund’s relative returns. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. |
| Our Management and Profitability themes had a relatively neutral impact on the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
Q | | How did the Fund sector and industry allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How successful was your stock selection during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund seeks to provide investors with a tax-efficient means for maintaining broadly diversified exposure to the entire U.S. equity market, ranging from large- to small-cap stocks. During the Reporting Period, our stock selection hurt the Fund’s relative performance. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Security selection in the information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors detracted most from relative returns. The Fund was hampered by overweight positions in Micron Technology, a semiconductor maker; Hewlett-Packard, a provider of hardware, software and technology services; and American Airlines Group. We chose to overweight Micron Technology because of our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment. The Fund was overweight Hewlett-Packard as a result of our positive views on Sentiment and Quality. The overweight in American Airlines Group was based on our positive views of Valuation. |
Q | | Among individual holdings, which stocks contributed most to the Fund’s results? |
A | | Stock picks in the energy, financials and industrials sectors added most to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund benefited from overweight positions in Valero Energy and Pharmacyclics as well as from an underweight in Bank of America. We adopted the overweight in petroleum refiner Valero Energy due to our positive views on Sentiment and Momentum. The Fund was overweight biotechnology company Pharmacyclics because of our positive views on Quality and Momentum. The underweight in Bank of America was assumed as a result of our negative views of Momentum and Quality. |
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 to add value to the Fund’s results. However, we used equity index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to equitize the Fund’s excess cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s excess cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of equity index futures. |
Q | | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We made no changes to our quantitative model during the first quarter of 2015. In the second calendar quarter, we introduced an enhancement within our Sentiment theme that uses the credit default swap spread of a company as an early indicator of potential stock price swings. To arrive at our views, we use data on single-name credit default swap spreads for more than 300 companies on a daily basis. (Credit default swap spread is the annual cost of protecting against default.) Also within our Sentiment theme, we introduced an enhancement that uses stock options data of a company as a potential indicator of stock mispricing. Because options markets have fewer restrictions on leverage and short selling, we believe they typically incorporate information more efficiently than equity markets. We are able to use this enhancement, employing broadly available options data on U.S. equities, to form views on the majority of stocks in our investment universe. In addition, during the second calendar quarter, we added an enhancement to our Profitability theme that analyzes web traffic data of companies to provide an insight into future revenues. We analyze this information for more than 1,700 U.S. stocks across various sectors. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector allocation and style. That said, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the consumer discretionary, energy, information technology and health care sectors. It was underweight compared to the Index in the financials, telecommunication services, utilities and materials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral in the consumer staples and industrials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by the Fund’s different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, four of our six investment themes — Sentiment, Valuation, Momentum and Quality — bolstered the Fund’s relative results. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. |
| Our Profitability theme, which assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital, detracted from relative performance. Management had a relatively neutral impact on the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | | How did the Fund sector and industry allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |
Q | | How successful was your stock selection during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund seeks to provide investors with a tax-efficient means for maintaining broadly diversified exposure to the |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| entire Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) equity market. During the Reporting Period, security selection added to the Fund’s relative returns. |
Q | | Among individual holdings, which stocks contributed most to the Fund’s results? |
A | | Stock picks in the financials, consumer discretionary and health care sectors contributed positively to the Fund’s relative returns. The Fund benefited from overweight positions in Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Holdings, a Japanese insurance holdings company; Renault, a France-based carmaker; and Dialog Semiconductor, a U.K.-based manufacturer of semiconductor systems. We assumed the overweights in Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Holdings and Renault because of our positive views on Momentum and Valuation. The overweight in Dialog Semiconductor was based on our positive views on Momentum and Sentiment. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Investments in the consumer staples, energy and information technology sectors detracted from relative results. Fund performance was hampered by an underweight position in Novo Nordisk and by overweight positions in Noble Group and Norsk Hydro. We chose to underweight Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk as a result of our negative views on Valuation. The Fund was overweight Noble Group, a Hong Kong-based investment holding company, because of our positive views on Valuation and Quality. The overweight in Norsk Hydro, a Norwegian aluminum supplier, was due to our positive views on Sentiment and Momentum. |
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 to add value to the Fund’s results. However, we used equity index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to equitize the Fund’s excess cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s excess cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of equity index futures. |
Q | | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We made no changes to our quantitative model during the first quarter of 2015. In the second calendar quarter, we introduced an enhancement within our Sentiment theme within Europe and Japan that uses the credit default swap spread of a company as an early indicator of potential stock price swings. To arrive at our views, we use data on single-name credit default swap spreads for more than 300 companies on a daily basis. (Credit default swap spread is the annual cost of protecting against default.) Additionally, we extended to South Korea our ability, through our global linkages theme, to examine the relationship between the separate companies that belong to a single conglomerate as well as between public sector companies that belong to the same state owned industry sub-group. In addition, we extended to Europe our ability, also through our global linkages theme, to look at economic linkages. We analyze more than 3.5 million patents globally to establish the economic linkages between companies in various industries. We believe these linkages help predict price movements across similar companies more accurately. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on country weightings. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and country allocations. That said, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the information technology, industrials, health care and energy sectors relative to the Index. It was underweight the utilities, telecommunication services and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund was relatively neutrally weighted compared to the Index in the materials, consumer staples and financials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in Japan, Norway, France and Spain. Compared to the Index, it was underweight Australia, Sweden and the U.K. The Fund was relatively neutrally weighted compared to the Index in Germany, Finland, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Denmark, Hong Kong, Singapore, Portugal, New Zealand, Austria and Ireland at the end of the Reporting Period. |

| | Institutional | | | 8.13 | | | | 5.52 | |
| | Class IR | | | 8.07 | | | | 5.52 | |
| 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 unmanaged MSCI EAFE Index (net, USD, unhedged) is a market capitalization-weighted composite of securities in 21 developed markets. The Index figures do not include any deduction for fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| | Class IR | | | -2.75 | | | | N/A | | | | 8.89 | | | | 8/31/10 | |
| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Pursuant to a contractual arrangement, the Fund’s waivers and/or expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2016, and prior to such date the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. If these arrangements are discontinued in the future, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval. |

| | Returns after taxes on distributions*** and sale of Fund shares | | | -4.31 | | | | 6.88 | | | | 0.13 | |
| 5 | | The after-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of distributions (currently 23.8% for qualifying ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions and 43.4% for non-qualifying ordinary income dividends) and do not reflect state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns will be calculated at calendar year-end and depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes. Standardized after-tax returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares. |
| * | | Returns Before Taxes do not reflect taxes on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed. |
| ** | | Returns After Taxes on Distributions assume that taxes are paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period. |
*** | | Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares reflect taxes paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed. |

| | As of June 30, 2015 | | |

| 7 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 0.8% of the Fund’s net assets at June 30, 2015. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

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 |
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, International Tax-Managed Equity | | A, C, Institutional and IR | | Diversified |
U. S. Tax-Managed Equity | | A, C, Institutional, Service and IR | | 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 and Class IR Shares are not subject to a sales charge.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income and dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in United States (“U.S.”) real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent and Service and Shareholder Administration fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 |
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium International Equity Dividend and Premium | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
U.S. Tax-Managed Equity International Tax-Managed Equity | | | | 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 losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has 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.
Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund are valued at the NAV of the FST 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.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The Funds enter into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures contracts, are valued at the last sale or settlement price and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
i. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.
ii. Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests in FST Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, GSAM waived $15,858 of the Fund’s management fee.
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:
| | | | | | | | |

| | Class A* | | | Class C | |
Distribution Plan | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.75 | % |
Service Plan | | | — | | | | 0.25 | |
* | | With respect to Class A Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained front end sales charges of $17,041, $630, $6,414 and $1,314 for the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, U.S. Tax-Managed Equity and U.S. International Tax-Managed Equity Funds, respectively.
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 and Class IR Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — 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 the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, U.S. Tax-Managed Equity and U.S. International Tax-Managed Equity Funds are 0.014%, 0.124%, 0.044% and 0.094%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2016, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

Line of Credit Facility — As of June 30, 2015, the Funds participated in a $1,205,000,000 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 $115,000,000, for a total of up to $1,320,000,000. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. 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 June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended June 30, 2015, Goldman Sachs earned $2,042, $9,675, $298 and $6,774 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, U.S. Tax-Managed Equity and International Tax-Managed Equity Funds, respectively.

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended June 30, 2015, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium | | | | | $273,988,300 | | | $ | 248,035,863 | |

International Tax-Managed Equity | | | | | 233,475,662 | | | | 163,461,721 | |
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Trust. The Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive an investment advisory fee of up to 0.205% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Fund.
In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If, despite such efforts by GSAL to exercise these remedies, the Funds sustain losses as a result of a borrower’s default, GSAL indemnifies the Funds by purchasing replacement securities at its expense, or paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the replacement securities, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in the cash collateral pool due to reinvestment risk and a requirement that the Funds agree to assign rights to the collateral to GSAL for purpose of using the collateral to cover purchase of replacement securities as more fully described in the Securities Lending Agency Agreement. The Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral is at least equal to the value of the cash received. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Both the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned by the Funds for the six months ended June 30, 2015, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures and options contracts and differences related to the tax treatment of underlying fund investments and of 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:
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and foreign currency with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight or independent evaluation of their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
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 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.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Fund invests. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
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 Statements 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 June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service or Class IR Shares of a Fund you incur 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), (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service or Class IR Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Background
The Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund, and Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2016 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 10-11, 2015 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held three meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. Such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance and strategy and central funding); sales and distribution support groups and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
82
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of each Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and benchmark performance indices, and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Funds invest; |
| (c) | | information provided by GSAM indicating GSAM’s views on whether a Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | | the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Funds; |
| (e) | | fee and expense information for the Funds, including: |
| (i) | | the relative management fee and expense levels of each Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; and |
| (ii) | | the expense trends over time of each Fund; |
| (f) | | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Funds; |
| (g) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser to limit certain expenses of each Fund that exceed specified levels, and a summary of contractual fee reductions made by the Investment Adviser and/or its affiliates over the past several years with respect to the Funds; |
| (h) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of each Fund and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | | whether each Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (j) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Funds for transfer agency, securities lending, portfolio trading, distribution and other services; |
| (k) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Funds as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | | information regarding commissions paid by the Funds and broker oversight, other information regarding portfolio trading, and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution; |
83
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (m) | | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (n) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Funds by their unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administration services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (o) | | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Funds’ compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity and the payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service and/or administration fees with respect to the Funds. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual fund portfolios for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser.
84
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2014, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2015. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance over time (including on a year-by-year basis) relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel, in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management. They noted the efforts of the Funds’ portfolio management team to continue to enhance the investment models used in managing the Funds.
The Trustees noted that the International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2015. They observed that the International Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the three-year period and underperformed for the one- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2015. The Trustees also noted that the U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the three- and five-year periods and underperformed for the one- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2015. They observed that the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-year period, in the third-quartile for the five-year period, and in the fourth quartile for the three-year period, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2015. The Trustees also noted that the Tax-Managed Equity Funds had experienced certain portfolio management changes in April 2014.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
85
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of the Funds’ management fees and breakpoints to those of relevant peer groups and category universes; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and a five-year history comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser did not manage other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, and therefore this type of fee comparison was not possible.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins with respect to the Trust and each of the Funds. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2014 and 2013, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins both in absolute terms and in comparison to information on the reported pre-tax profit margins earned by certain other asset management firms.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding the Investment Adviser’s profitability. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund | | | International Tax-Managed Equity Fund | | | U.S. Tax- Managed Equity Fund | | | U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.81 | % | | | 0.85 | % | | | 0.70 | % | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.77 | | | | 0.63 | | | | 0.68 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.69 | | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.60 | | | | 0.65 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.68 | | | | 0.72 | | | | 0.59 | | | | 0.64 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.67 | | | | 0.71 | | | | 0.58 | | | | 0.63 | |
86
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (d) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (h) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (i) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
The Trustees also considered the benefits to GSAL and the Investment Adviser from the Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s ability to participate in the securities lending program and observed that, although the benefits to GSAL and the Investment Adviser were meaningful, the benefits to each Fund from its participation in the program were greater, as measured by the revenue received by the Fund in connection with the program.
87
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (h) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2016.

The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how a Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders); and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) web site at http://www.sec.gov.
The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov within 60 days after the Funds’ first and third fiscal quarters. The Funds’ Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. and information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may also be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. Forms N-Q may be obtained upon request and without charge by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders).
Goldman, Sachs & Co. (‘‘Goldman Sachs’’) does not provide legal, tax or accounting advice. Any statement contained in this communication (including any attachments) concerning U.S. tax matters was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code, and was written to support the promotion or marketing of the transaction(s) or matter(s) addressed. Clients of Goldman Sachs should obtain their own independent tax advice based on their particular circumstances.
Fund holdings and allocations shown are as of June 30, 2015 and may not be representative of future investments. Fund holdings should not be relied on in making investment decisions and should not be construed as research or investment advice regarding particular securities. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.
The method of calculation of the 30-day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the last 30 days of the period by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

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 Rule2-01(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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $672,155 and $896,535 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were approximately $10.2 million and $9.8 million, respectively. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2014 and 2013 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.
