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 Large Cap Growth Insights Fund invests primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-capitalization U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers traded in the United States. The Fund’s equity investments will be 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 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” and “growth”) tend to shift in and out of favor, and at times the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes. The Fund may have a high rate of portfolio turnover, which involves correspondingly greater expenses which must be borne by the Fund, and is also likely to result in short-term capital gains taxable to shareholders.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Domestic Equity Insights Funds
Market Review
During the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”), U.S. equities advanced, as the U.S. economy generally withstood global economic weakness. Mergers and acquisitions activity and the drop in oil and other commodity prices were also dominant themes.
U.S. equities started the Reporting Period strongly, generating relatively robust returns into the end of 2014, benefiting from the improvement of the U.S. economy compared to those of most other developed markets countries. U.S. stock performance was also supported by significant merger and acquisition activity, which continued into 2015 and through the end of the Reporting Period, particularly in the information technology and health care sectors.
Although the U.S. economy encountered a weak patch during the first quarter of 2015, it rebounded in the second calendar quarter, expanding at a 3.7% rate. Importantly, the unemployment rate continued to fall, and the housing market improved. While consumer spending was slightly softer than expected early in the Reporting Period, it gained momentum during the spring of 2015 amid good retail sales growth, which reflected a broadening of consumer spending.
Global equity market volatility heated up during the summer of 2015 and affected U.S. equity performance. Greece teetered on the brink of financial collapse, while the domestic Chinese equity market began a dramatic correction. Further weakening of Chinese economic data and the devaluation of its renminbi weighed on stock markets around the globe. However, U.S equities rebounded in October 2015 on easing concerns about global economic growth and indications of continued monetary easing by several central banks.
Slower economic growth in China also led to worries about the demand for many commodities, including oil. The West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil benchmark price, which had stood at a high of $107 a barrel in June 2014, fell rather steadily during the Reporting Period to a low of $43 a barrel in March 2015 before rebounding to almost $60 a barrel and stabilizing at slightly less than $45 a barrel for much of the summer and fall of 2015. Other commodity prices also weakened.
Throughout the Reporting Period, market participants speculated about the timing of a potential short-term rate hike by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). However, the Fed left rates unchanged during the Reporting Period.
For the Reporting Period overall, the S&P 500® Index returned 5.20%, with six of the 10 sectors in the Index generating positive returns. The consumer discretionary (+20.27%) and information technology (+10.96%) sectors performed best. The consumer discretionary sector was the largest positive contributor (measured by weight times performance) to S&P 500® Index returns. Energy was the weakest performing sector, with a return of -18.57% during the Reporting Period.
In terms of market capitalization, large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks. The Russell 2000® Index, which measures the small-cap universe, returned 0.34% during the Reporting Period. In the style arena, growth stocks outperformed value stocks overall. The Russell 1000® Growth Index, representing large-cap growth stocks, climbed 9.18%, while the Russell 1000® Value Index, representing large-cap value stocks, rose 0.53% during the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe that less expensive stocks should outpace more expensive stocks. In addition, we expected stocks with good momentum to outperform those with poor momentum. We plan to focus on seeking companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive as well as profitable companies with sustainable earnings and a track record of using their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, 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 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.

What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’
Domestic Equity Insights Funds Investment Process?
At Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), Equity Insights combines traditional fundamental analysis with sophisticated quantitative modeling. Our approach is not unlike that of a more traditional active manager: we look at fundamental investment themes that have been effective historically in forecasting excess returns of stocks. However, where we differ from traditional managers is that we seek to rigorously test every potential research theme or signal to verify whether they have shown consistent predictive ability across a wide variety of stocks in different time periods and under different market conditions.


n | | Comprehensive – We calculate expected excess returns for more than 10,000 stocks on a daily basis. |
n | | Rigorous – We evaluate stocks based on fundamental investment criteria that have outperformed historically. |
n | | Objective – Our stock selection process is free from the emotion that may lead to biased investment decisions. |

n | | Our computer optimization process allocates risk to our high conviction investment ideas and constructs funds that strive to neutralize systematic risks and deliver better returns. |
n | | We use a proprietary risk model that is designed to be more precise, more focused and faster to respond because it seeks to identify, track and manage risk specific to our process, using daily data. |

Fully invested, well-diversified portfolio that seeks to:
n | | Maintain style, sector, risk and capitalization characteristics similar to the benchmark. |
n | | Offer broad access to a clearly defined equity universe. |
n | | Generate excess returns that are positive, consistent and repeatable. |

Enhancements Made to Proprietary Quantitative Model during the 12-Month Period Ended October 31, 2015 |
|
We continuously look for ways to improve our investment process. Accordingly, we introduced a number of enhancements to our proprietary quantitative model during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015. We implemented an enhancement to our Valuation theme to evaluate energy companies’ reserves. Energy reserves are not capitalized on the balance sheet, so we believe reserve-based valuation metrics provide a more accurate picture of the intrinsic value of an energy company. We also implemented an enhancement to our Momentum theme, evaluating price pressures created through consistent trade imbalances between buyers and sellers. In certain instances, traders may push prices as they engage in end-of-day hedging, inventory management and index trading. Such activities, when persistent, can create buying and selling opportunities as stock prices revert to long-term views. |
|
Additionally, we made three enhancements to our Sentiment theme. The first enhancement was the introduction of a signal that analyzes short selling of stocks in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of investor views about potential future price declines. We analyze more than 9,000 stocks on a daily basis to identify companies with large, “fresh” short positions that may indicate negative return expectations. The second enhancement uses the credit default swap (“CDS”) spread of a company as an early indicator of potential stock price swings. We use data on single-name CDS spreads for more than 300 companies on a daily basis to arrive at our views. The third enhancement was a signal that uses stock options data of a company as a potential indicator of stock mispricing. Due to fewer restrictions on leverage and short-selling, options markets typically incorporate information more efficiently than equity markets. Because of the broad availability of options data on U.S. equities, we can form views on the majority of stocks in our investment universe using this signal. We also enhanced our Profitability theme by introducing a signal that analyzes web traffic data of companies to provide an insight into future revenues. We analyze this information for more than 1,700 stocks, spanning across various sectors. In addition, we expanded the scope of signals within our global linkages theme. We extended an economic linkage signal, which analyzes patent data, from the U.S. and Japan to Europe. 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. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 7.96%, 7.12%, 8.41%, 7.88%, 8.21% and 7.73%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.18% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| | During the period from their inception on July 31, 2015 through October 31, 2015, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.17% compared to the -0.51% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from stock selection driven by our quantitative model, with four of our quantitative model’s six investment themes contributing positively to relative returns. However, the Fund underperformed the Index, largely due to the underperformance of our Valuation investment theme. 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. |
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 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 have historically had 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 our different investment themes is expected to provide 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 contributed positively to the Fund’s relative returns. Sentiment, which reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries, was our best performing theme. Momentum, Quality and Profitability also added to relative results. 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. The Profitability theme seeks to assess whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
| | Valuation detracted from relative 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. |
| | Management had a neutral impact on relative returns during the Reporting Period. The Management theme seeks to assess the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund’s 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 style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. That said, the contribution overall of the Fund’s industry exposures dampened relative performance during the Reporting Period. Though its industry weightings did not change substantially from prior periods, the Fund was hurt by its overweight positions relative to the Index in the petroleum and pharmaceutical industries, both of which declined during the Reporting Period. Its underweight positions in the semiconductor and internet retail industries, which rallied during the Reporting Period, also hurt relative returns. |
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark. |
| | During the Reporting Period, security selection overall added to the Fund’s relative performance. Investments in the energy, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors contributed positively, while stock picks in the information technology, materials and consumer staples sectors hampered relative results. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund benefited from overweight positions in petroleum refiners Tesoro and Valero Energy and in airline holding company Alaskan Air Group. Our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment led to the Fund’s overweight in Tesoro. The Fund was overweight Valero Energy as a result of our positive views on Quality and Momentum. We adopted the overweight in Alaskan Air Group because of our positive views on Sentiment and Momentum. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was hampered by its overweight positions in Rackspace Hosting and Netapp as well as by its underweight position in Amazon.com. We chose to overweight cloud computing company Rackspace Hosting and computer storage and data management company Netapp because of our positive views on Quality and Valuation. The Fund was underweight online retailer Amazon.com due to our negative views on Quality and Sentiment. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used financial futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of financial futures contracts. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the energy, financials and health care sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the telecommunication services, utilities, consumer staples and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R6 and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Performance Summary
October 31, 2015
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2015, of a $1,000,000 investment made on November 1, 2005 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 1.82%, 1.11%, 2.24%, 1.77%, 2.14% and 1.56%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.53% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| | During the period from their inception on July 31, 2015 through October 31, 2015, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.41% compared to the -1.91% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from stock selection driven by our quantitative model and four of its six investment themes. |
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 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 have historically had 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 our different investment themes is expected to provide 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 contributed positively to relative performance. Momentum was our best performing theme. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. Sentiment, Quality and Profitability also enhanced relative results. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. The Profitability theme seeks to assess whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
| | Valuation detracted from relative results. 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 impact of our Management theme on relative performance was neutral during the Reporting Period. The Management theme seeks to assess the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s 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 |
13
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark. |
| | During the Reporting Period, security selection overall added to the Fund’s relative performance. Stock picks in the energy, industrials and financials sectors contributed positively. Investments in the health care, telecommunication services and utilities sectors detracted from results. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund benefited from overweight positions in Cameron International, Tesoro and Valero Energy. Our positive views on Sentiment and Quality led us to overweight Cameron International, a provider of flow equipment products, systems and services to the oil, gas and process industries. The Fund was overweight petroleum refiner Tesoro due to our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment. We assumed the overweight in petroleum refiner Valero Energy because of our positive views on Quality and Momentum. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was hurt during the Reporting Period by an overweight in telecommunications company CenturyLink as well as by underweight positions in semiconductor maker Intel and snack food company Mondelez International. We chose to overweight CenturyLink as a result of our positive views on Quality and Valuation. The Fund was underweight Intel because of our negative views on Profitability, while the underweight in Mondelez International was due to our negative views on Quality. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used financial futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of financial futures contracts. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the consumer discretionary, health care and materials sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the utilities, information technology and industrials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the consumer staples, energy, telecommunication services and financials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) is an unmanaged market capitalization weighted index of the 1000 largest U.S. companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R6 and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

| 6 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using the 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 0.4% of the Fund’s net assets as of October 31, 2015. Short-term investments represent repurchase agreements. 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. |

GOLDMAN SACHS LARGE CAP VALUE INSIGHTS FUND
Performance Summary
October 31, 2015
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2015, of a $1,000,000 investment made on November 1, 2005 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 4.66%, 3.89%, 5.13%, 4.56%, 4.99% and 4.45%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.34% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| | During the period from their inception on July 31, 2015 through October 31, 2015, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.88% compared to the -5.86% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from stock selection driven by our quantitative model and four of its six investment themes. |
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 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 have historically had a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model.

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 added to the Fund’s relative returns — Sentiment, Quality, Momentum and Profitability. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. 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 Profitability theme seeks to assess whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
| | Valuation and Management detracted from relative 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 Management theme seeks to assess the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s 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.

Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark. |
| | During the Reporting Period, security selection overall contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance, with investments in the industrials, health care and energy sectors adding to results. Stock selection in only one sector — utilities — detracted from relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund benefited from overweight positions in Dyax, Cash America International and NPS Pharmaceuticals. We assumed the overweight in biopharmaceutical company Dyax based on our positive views on Sentiment and Profitability. The Fund was overweight Cash America International, a pawn shop retailer that also provides check cashing services and payday loans, because of our positive views on Quality and Valuation. The overweight in drug maker NPS Pharmaceuticals was the result of our positive views on Momentum and Valuation. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Fund performance was hampered by overweight positions in oilfield services provider Pioneer Energy Services, biopharmaceutical company Anacor Pharmaceuticals and independent power producer Talen Energy. We adopted the overweight in Pioneer Energy Services due to our positive views on Quality, Profitability and Valuation. The overweight in Anacor Pharmaceutical was the result of our positive views on Valuation and Quality, while the Fund was overweight Talen Energy because of our positive 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 used financial futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of financial futures contracts. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the industrials, energy, and materials relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the utilities, information technology, financials and consumer staples sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the consumer discretionary, health care and telecommunication services sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
As of October 31, 2015 |

| 6 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using the 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 2.1% of the Fund’s net assets as of October 31, 2015. Short-term investments represent repurchase agreements. 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. |

GOLDMAN SACHS SMALL CAP EQUITY INSIGHTS FUND
Performance Summary
October 31, 2015
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2015, of a $1,000,000 investment made on November 1, 2005 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Growth Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 5.95%, 5.18%, 6.39%, 6.24% and 5.67%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.52% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| | During the period from their inception on July 31, 2015 through October 31, 2015, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -4.03% compared to the -8.50% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from stock selection driven by our quantitative model and four of its six investment themes. |
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 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 have historically had 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 our different investment themes is expected to provide 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 contributed positively to the Fund’s relative returns. Sentiment and Quality were our best performing themes. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. Momentum and Profitability also added to the Fund’s relative results. 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 Profitability theme seeks to assess whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
| | Valuation detracted from relative results during the Reporting Period. 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. |
| | Our Management theme had a neutral impact on relative performance during the Reporting Period. The Management theme seeks to assess the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s 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 style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark. |
| | During the Reporting Period, security selection overall contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance. Investments in the industrials, health care and energy sectors added to relative results. Stock selection in only one sector — utilities — detracted from relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund benefited from overweight positions in Dyax, Thoratec and Hawaiian Holdings. We adopted the overweight in biopharmaceutical company Dyax because of our positive views on Sentiment and Profitability. The Fund was overweight medical device manufacturer Thoratec based on our positive views on Valuation and Momentum. Our positive views on Profitability and Valuation led us to overweight Hawaiian Holdings, the holding company for Hawaiian Airlines. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was hurt by underweight positions in biopharmaceutical companies Novavax and Synageva BioPharma during the Reporting Period. An overweight in Bill Barrett, a natural gas and oil exploration company, also detracted from relative returns. We chose to underweight Novavax because of our negative views on Momentum and Sentiment, while the underweight in Synageva BioPharma was due to our negative views on Sentiment and Quality. The Fund was overweight Bill Barrett as a result of our positive views on Quality. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used financial futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of financial futures contracts. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the industrials, energy and materials sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the financials, utilities, telecommunication services and health care sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Class IR, Class R6 and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.53%, -0.21%, 0.93%, 0.76% and 0.27%, respectively. These returns compare to the -2.88% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| During the period from their inception on July 31, 2015 through October 31, 2015, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.64% compared to the -3.06% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from stock selection driven by our quantitative model and four of its six investment themes. |
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 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 have historically had 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 our different investment themes is expected to provide 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 added to the Fund’s relative returns — Sentiment, Quality, Momentum and Profitability. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. 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 Profitability theme seeks to assess whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |

The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark. |
| During the Reporting Period, security selection overall contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance. Investments in the industrials, consumer discretionary and materials sectors added to relative results. Stock selection in only two sectors — utilities and health care — detracted from relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund benefited from overweight positions in Cash America International, Symetra Financial and Coresite Realty. We assumed the overweight in Cash America International, a pawn shop retailer that also provides check cashing services and payday loans, because of our positive views on Quality and Valuation. Our positive views on Sentiment and Valuation led to the overweight in Symetra Financial, which provides retirement services, employee benefits and life insurance products. The Fund was overweight data center company Coresite Realty due to our positive views on Momentum and Quality. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s performance was hampered during the Reporting Period by its overweight positions in independent oil and natural gas company Contango Oil & Gas, independent power producer Talen Energy and oilfield services provider Pioneer Energy Services. We chose to overweight Contango Oil & Gas due to our positive views on Valuation and Quality. The Fund was overweight Talen Energy as a result of our positive views on Momentum and Quality. We adopted the overweight in Pioneer Energy Services due to our positive views on Quality and Profitability. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used financial futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of financial futures contracts. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the industrials, materials and health care sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the utilities, financials and consumer staples sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the energy, information technology, consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Performance Summary
October 31, 2015
The following graph shows the value, as of October 31, 2015, of a $10,000 investment made on June 25, 2007 (commencement of operations) in Class A Shares (with the maximum sales charge of 5.5%). For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class C, Institutional, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Class A Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 3.86%, 3.09%, 4.27%, 3.75%, 4.12% and 3.58%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.20% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| | During the period from their inception on July 31, 2015 through October 31, 2015, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.37% compared to the -0.63% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from stock selection driven by our quantitative model, with four of its six investment themes contributing positively to performance. However, the Fund underperformed the Index, largely due to the underperformance of our Valuation investment theme. |
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 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 have historically had 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 our different investment themes is expected to provide 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 contributed positively to relative performance. Momentum was our best performing theme. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. Sentiment, Quality and Profitability also added to the Fund’s relative results. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. The Profitability theme seeks to assess whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
| | Valuation detracted from relative returns. 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 impact of our Management theme on relative performance was neutral during the Reporting Period. The Management theme seeks to assess the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s 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 style. Changes in its |
37
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. That said, the contribution overall of the Fund’s industry exposures dampened relative performance during the Reporting Period. Though its industry weightings did not change substantially from prior periods, the Fund was hurt by its overweight positions relative to the Index in the petroleum and food staples industries, both of which declined during the Reporting Period. Its underweight positions in the internet retail industry and in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which rallied during the Reporting Period, also hurt relative returns. |
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the benchmark. |
| | During the Reporting Period, security selection overall added to the Fund’s relative performance. Investments in the energy, industrials and financials sectors contributed positively, while holdings in the information technology, health care and materials sectors detracted from relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund benefited from overweight positions in Tesoro, a petroleum refiner; Lowe’s Companies, a home improvement retailer; and Cameron International, a provider of flow equipment products, systems and services to the oil, gas and process industries. We adopted the overweight in Tesoro as a result of our positive views on Sentiment and Valuation. The overweight positions in Lowe’s Companies and Cameron International were due to our positive views on Quality and Sentiment. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was hampered by overweight positions in telecommunications company CenturyLink and cloud computing company Rackspace Hosting as well as its underweight position in semiconductor maker Intel. Our positive views on Quality and Valuation led us to overweight CenturyLink and Rackspace Hosting. We chose to underweight Intel because of our negative views on Momentum and Quality. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used financial futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of financial futures contracts. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy and telecommunication services sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the information technology, industrials, utilities and financials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the health care and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2015
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered* | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Large Cap Growth Insights, Large Cap Value Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights and U.S. Equity Insights | | A, C, Institutional, Service, IR, R and R6 | | Diversified |
Small Cap Growth Insights and Small Cap Value Insights | | A, C, Institutional, IR, R and R6 | | Diversified |
* | | Class R6 Shares commenced on July 31, 2015. |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
At the close of business on November 14, 2014, Class B Shares of each Fund were converted to Class A Shares of the Fund.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | | |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income and dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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. 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 applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Large Cap Value Insights | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Large Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights, Small Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Value Insights and U.S. Equity Insights | | | | 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.

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

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities and investment companies traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund (“Underlying 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.
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 and options 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.
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.
Short Term Investments — Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
An MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation of the transaction, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty.
If the seller defaults, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund are less than the repurchase price and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, a court could determine that a Fund’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Under these joint accounts, the Funds maintain pro-rata credit exposure to the underlying repurchase agreements’ counterparties. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that 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.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, a Fund may be required to post initial margin to the counterparty, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized,
96
GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
|
4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. A Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that the Investment Adviser believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS | | |
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

* | | GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve net management rates, as defined in the Funds’ most recent prospectuses. These waivers will be effective through at least July 31, 2016, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. The Effective Net Management Rates above are calculated based on management rates before and after waivers had been adjusted, if applicable. |
# | | Effective February 27, 2015, GSAM agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve an effective net management rate of 0.81% for the Small Cap Growth Insights Fund. Prior to February 27, 2015, the effective net management rate for the Small Cap Growth Insights Fund was 0.84%. |
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

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 Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts:

D. Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan. These plans allow for service organizations to provide varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares; 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 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, shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meeting, 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 are 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 31, 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 transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of October 31, 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 up to 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, Goldman Sachs earned $8,798, $656, $1,189, $1,178, $280 and $3,720 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Large Cap Growth Insights, Large Cap Value Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights, Small Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Value Insights and U.S. Equity Insights Funds, respectively.

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the 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. As the securities loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time, the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous.
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 GSAL’s 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 securities on loan. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

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:
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. 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. 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, as a result, maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — A Fund 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.
104
GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 Funds invest. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Funds also invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust
and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs Domestic Equity Insights Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights Fund, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Growth Insights Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Insights Fund, and Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Insights Fund (collectively the “Funds”), funds of the Goldman Sachs Trust, at October 31, 2015, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, transfer agent of the underlying funds, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased confirmations had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended October 31, 2015 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R or Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R or Class R6 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 May 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015, which represents a period of 184 out of 365 days. The Class R6 Example is based on the period from July 31, 2015 through October 31, 2015, which represents a period of 92 out of 365 days.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights Fund, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Growth Insights Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Insights Fund, and Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Insights 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 |
| (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”), benchmark performance indices, and composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser (in the case of the Large Cap Growth Insights and U.S. Equity Insights Funds), and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Funds invest; |
| (c) | | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’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; |
| (ii) | | the expense trends over time of each Fund; and |
| (iii) | | to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser; |
| (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 waive a portion of its management fees and 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; |
115
GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (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; |
| (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.
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
116
GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
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. The Trustees also received information comparing the Large Cap Growth Insights and U.S. Equity Insights Funds’ performance to that of composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser.
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 Large Cap Growth Insights 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 in the third quartile for the ten-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and underperformed for the ten-year period ended March 31, 2015. They observed that the Large Cap Value Insights 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 in the third quartile for the ten-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and underperformed for the ten-year period ended March 31, 2015. They noted that the Small Cap Equity Insights Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the ten-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and five-year periods and underperformed for the three- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2015. The Trustees observed that the Small Cap Growth Insights 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 one- and five-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period ended March 31, 2015. They noted that the Small Cap Value Insights Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one- and five-year periods and in the third quartile for the three-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and five-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period ended March 31, 2015. They observed that the U.S. Equity Insights 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 one-, three-, and five-year periods and underperformed for the ten-year period ended March 31, 2015.
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.
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 waive a portion of its management fees and to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the Small Cap Equity Insights and Small Cap Value Insights Funds that would have the effect of lowering total Fund expenses, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Funds’ next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Large Cap Growth Insights Fund | | | Large Cap Value Insights Fund | | | Small Cap Equity Insights Fund | | | Small Cap Growth Insights Fund | | | Small Cap Value Insights Fund | | | U.S. Equity Insights Fund | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.65 | % | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.85 | % | | | 0.85 | % | | | 0.85 | % | | | 0.65 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.59 | | | | 0.54 | | | | 0.85 | | | | 0.85 | | | | 0.85 | | | | 0.59 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.56 | | | | 0.51 | | | | 0.77 | | | | 0.77 | | | | 0.77 | | | | 0.56 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.55 | | | | 0.50 | | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.55 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.54 | | | | 0.49 | | | | 0.72 | | | | 0.72 | | | | 0.72 | | | | 0.54 | |
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 waive a portion of its management fees and 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.
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 each 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
118
GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
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.
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.

Item 4(e)(1) — Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”) sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for GST may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the Audit Committee Chairman or the person designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the Policy. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.
De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by GST at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.
Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GST’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to GST, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GST’s investment advisers (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provide ongoing services to GST) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of GST.
Item 4(e)(2) – 0% of the audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees listed in Table 1 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. In addition, 0% of the non-audit services to the GST’s service affiliates listed in Table 2 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
Item 4(f) – Not applicable.
Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure
The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST by PwC for the twelve months ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were approximately $986,676 and $794,850 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. The figures for these entities are not yet available for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. 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.
