Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Money Market Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Funds’ (the “Funds”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the money markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, U.S. money market fund reform and the U.S. presidential election were among the most significant events influencing the front, or short-term, end of the taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves. Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities. |
| When the Reporting Period began in September 2016, credit spreads (the difference in yields between government and taxable bonds of comparable maturity) widened in advance of money market fund reform, with final implementation taking effect in October 2016. Meanwhile, the agency floater curve steepened, as LIBOR widened and interest in shorter floaters amongst market participants increased. (LIBOR, or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, is the interest rate that banks charge each other for short-term loans.) The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index spiked to its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. However, unlike in 2008, funding costs for banks did not increase due to market stress. Instead, spreads widened because of declining demand, as prime money market funds had been a key source of short-term bank funding. (Prime money market funds primarily invest in corporate debt securities.) Most of the flows went into government money market funds that invest in agencies — and may offer higher yields benchmarked to LIBOR — benefiting government yields and reducing pressure on U.S. Treasury yields. During September and October 2016, prime money market funds lost approximately $440 billion in assets, while government money market funds gained $410 billion in assets.* After money market fund reform was implemented on October 14, 2016, credit spreads gradually tightened to end the Reporting Period at widths seen at the beginning of 2016. |
| Money market fund reform also impacted tax-exempt money market funds, with investment outflows reducing demand for one-day to seven-day maturities. In tandem with the outflows, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) Municipal Swap Index, representing seven-day tax-exempt variable rate demand obligations, rose. |
| In November 2016, Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election was widely viewed as a potential regime change in monetary and fiscal policy. The U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened as the markets began pricing in higher inflation due to greater anticipated government fiscal spending. |
| In December 2016, in a move widely expected by the markets, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised interest rates for the second time since the 2008 global financial crisis. Fed policymakers also raised their interest rate projections on the back of continued improvement in the U.S. labor market, rising wages and the potential of fiscal policy initiatives by the Trump administration. After the December 2016 policy meeting, market expectations increased for additional Fed rate hikes in 2017, and money market yields generally moved higher. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the performance of the Funds during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The taxable and tax-exempt Funds’ yields rose during the Reporting Period, driven by the increase in money market yields, which was due primarily to the economic and market factors discussed above. Yields along the taxable money market yield curve rose, but the difference in yields between those on the shorter-term end of the curve and those on the longer-term end of the curve ended the Reporting Period near where it started. The tax-exempt money market yield curve steepened during the Reporting Period. |
| The interest rate and market environment did not provide bountiful opportunities to pick up additional yield. However, in keeping with our investment approach, we sought to position the Funds to take advantage of changes in the interest rate environment, and throughout the Reporting Period, we found pockets of opportunity to add extra yield. That said, it should be noted that regardless of interest rate conditions, we seek to manage the Funds consistently. Our investment approach has always been tri-fold — to seek preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximization of yield potential. We manage interest and credit risk daily. Whether interest rates are historically low, high or in-between, we intend to |

| continue to use our actively managed approach to seek to provide the best possible return within the framework of the Funds’ guidelines and objectives. |
Q | | How did you manage the taxable Funds during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Collectively, the taxable Funds had investments in commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, government agency securities, repurchase agreements (“repos”), government guaranteed paper, time deposits, certificates of deposit, variable rate demand notes and municipal securities during the Reporting Period. |
| In our taxable commercial paper strategies (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund), we maintained an especially low weighted average maturity of less than 10 days, along with high levels of liquidity, as the implementation of money market fund reform approached and amid uncertainty about investment flows from prime money market funds to government money market funds. Following the implementation of money market fund reform, investment flows into prime money market funds stabilized, and we gradually extended the weighted average maturity of our taxable commercial paper strategies. Toward the end of January 2017, as credit spreads normalized and we sought to add yield, we meaningfully extended the weighted average maturity of our taxable commercial paper strategies to a range of between 30 days and 40 days. |
| Because we were skeptical about chances of a Fed interest rate hike in September 2016, we extended the weighted average maturity of our taxable government repo strategies (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Solutions Fund) and our taxable government non-repo strategies (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund). We focused Fund purchases on LIBOR floaters. As already mentioned, LIBOR widened heading into U.S. money market fund reform, and interest in shorter floaters among market participants increased. During the period when the floater curve was steep, we focused on longer, i.e. 12- to 18-month final, three-month LIBOR floaters. As that curve began to flatten in the late summer of 2016, we adjusted and expressed this view via shorter, i.e. six-month final, three-month LIBOR floaters. In November 2016, we extended the weighted average maturity of our taxable government repo strategies and our taxable government non-repo strategies to take advantage of an increase in yields. We also added positions that we thought would perform well even if the Fed raised interest rates more aggressively than the market expected. Toward the end of the Reporting Period, we reduced the weighted average maturity of our taxable government repo and non-repo strategies in anticipation of the March 2017 federal debt ceiling deadline. (In 2015, Congress and the White House agreed to suspend the federal debt limit until March 15, 2017. After that date, the government cannot continue to borrow money to pay its obligations.) |
Q | | How did you manage the tax-exempt Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the tax-exempt Fund (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund) had investments in variable rate demand notes (“VRDNs”), tax-exempt commercial paper and municipal put bonds. |
| We maintained a particularly low weighted average maturity and a high level of liquidity in the tax-exempt Fund in response to money market fund reform, which reduced demand for short-term money market securities. Tax-exempt mutual funds overall lost more than $78 billion in assets during the summer of 2016 and had regained only $3 billion in assets by the end of the Reporting Period.* In November 2016, we extended the weighted average maturity of the tax-exempt Fund, maintaining it in a range of between 23 days and 35 days for the rest of the Reporting Period. We focused on securities scheduled to mature in late June 2017, as they generally offered higher yields than shorter maturities and also offered, in our view, some protection should the Fed raise interest rates multiple times in 2017. |
Q | | Did you make any changes to the Funds’ portfolios during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we made adjustments to the Funds’ weighted average maturities and their allocations to specific investments based on then-current market conditions, our near-term view and anticipated and actual Fed monetary policy statements. |
Q | | What is the Funds’ tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected U.S. economic growth to accelerate in the near term, driven by |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| strong domestic demand and fiscal policy easing. The U.S. economy was already strengthening, in our view, prior to the November 2016 election, and we believe proposed fiscal stimulus and the potential loosening of regulations could provide additional support. We see U.S. economic growth picking up to 2.3% in 2017, with consumption underpinned in the near term by rising wages amid a labor market near full employment. (Full employment means the highest amount of skilled and unskilled labor that can be employed within an economy at any given time.) We also see scope for marginal improvements in business investment. That said, we remain alert to potential policy changes and geopolitical tensions, largely related to a more protectionist stance on trade, that might be associated with the Trump administration. |
| Regarding Fed policy, we expect a gradual pace of interest rate hikes — perhaps three in 2017 — as the most likely scenario, largely due to the possibility of a fiscal stimulus package and the consensus’ anticipation of continued improvement in the labor market along with rising wages. |
| In our taxable commercial paper strategies, we expect to maintain a targeted weighted average maturity in a range of between 30 days and 35 days as we seek to add yield and add yield and to position the Funds for the potential of continued spread tightening. In our taxable government repo strategies and taxable government non-repo strategies, we plan to maintain positions at the shorter end of our targeted weighted average maturity range. We anticipate a pickup in U.S. Treasury bill issuance ahead of the debt ceiling deadline in mid-March 2017 and as we head into the April 2017 tax season. In our tax-exempt Fund, we plan to maintain positions at the shorter end of our weighted average maturity range because we anticipate three Fed rate hikes during 2017 and because we expect tax-exempt money market yields to rise due to tax-related investment outflows in April 2017. |
| Overall, we expect to keep all the Funds conservatively positioned as we continue to focus on preservation of capital and daily liquidity. We do not believe there is value in sacrificing liquidity in exchange for opportunities that only modestly increase yield potential. We will continue to use our actively managed approach to seek the best possible return within the framework of our Funds’ investment guidelines and objectives. In addition, we will continue to manage interest, liquidity and credit risk daily. We will also continue to closely monitor economic data, Fed policy and any shifts in the money market yield curves, as we strive to navigate the interest rate environment. |

Index Definitions
The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index is based on the assumed purchase of a synthetic instrument having three months to maturity and with a coupon equal to the closing quote for three-month LIBOR. That issue is sold the following day (priced at a yield equal to the current day closing three-month LIBOR rate) and is rolled into a new three-month instrument. The index, therefore, will always have a constant maturity equal to exactly three months.
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) Municipal Swap Index is a seven-day high-grade market index comprised of tax-exempt variable rate demand obligations with certain characteristics. The Index is calculated and published by Bloomberg. The Index is overseen by SIFMA’s municipal swap index committee.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered | | Diversified/ Non-Diversified |
Federal Instruments | | Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, and Cash Management | | Diversified |
Government | | Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Class R6, Class A, Class C, Resource and Cash Management | | Diversified |
Money Market, Prime Obligations, Treasury Instruments, Treasury Obligations and Treasury Solutions | | Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource and Cash Management | | Diversified |
Tax-Exempt Money Market | | Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, and Resource | | Diversified |
Class C Shares may typically be acquired only in an exchange for Class C Shares of another Goldman Sachs Fund. Class C Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% during the first 12 months, measured from the time the original shares subject to the CDSC were acquired. At the close of business on October 11, 2016, Class C Shares of the Financial Square (“FSQ”) Prime Obligations Fund were liquidated.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Trust.
Effective on October 11, 2016, the following Funds were designated by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as “institutional money market funds” under Rule 2a-7 under the Act: FSQ Money Market Fund, FSQ Prime Obligations Fund, and FSQ Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (the “Institutional Money Market Funds”). Each of the Institutional Money Market Funds must price its shares at a net asset value (“NAV”) reflecting market-based values of its portfolio securities (i.e., at a “floating” NAV) rounded to the fourth decimal place (e.g., $1.0000).
|
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 investment valuation policy of the Funds, except for the Institutional Money Market Funds, is to use the amortized-cost method permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Act for valuing portfolio securities. The amortized-cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost and thereafter applying a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Normally, a security’s amortized cost will approximate its market value. Under procedures and tolerances approved by the Trustees, GSAM evaluates daily the difference between each Fund’s NAV per share using the amortized costs of its portfolio securities and the Fund’s NAV per share using market-based values of its portfolio securities. The Institutional Money Market Funds’ investment valuation policy is to value its portfolio securities only at market-based values. (Prior to October 11, 2016, the Institutional Money Market Funds’ investment valuation policy was to use the amortized-cost method.) The market-based value of a portfolio security is determined, where readily available, on the basis of market quotations provided by pricing services or securities dealers, or, where accurate market quotations are not readily available, on the basis of the security’s fair value as determined in accordance with Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which may consider (among other things): (i) yield or price with respect to debt securities that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
B. Investment Income and Investments — Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt 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 declared and recorded daily and paid monthly by the Funds and may include short-term capital gains. Long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Net capital losses, if any, 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.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Forward Commitments — A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The purchase of securities on a forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Although a Fund will generally purchase securities on a forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of forward commitments prior to settlement which may result in a realized gain or loss.
F. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Goldman Sachs FSQ Federal Instruments Fund and the Goldman Sachs FSQ Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund were amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations.
G. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
An MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation 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.
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The Trustees have 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 (including both the amortized cost and market-based methods of valuation) of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies related to the market-based method of valuation, 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.
As of February 28, 2017, all investments, other than those held by the Institutional Money Market Funds, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. All investments for the Institutional Money Market Funds are classified as Level 2, with the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries which are generally classified as Level 1. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for further detail.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreements — Under the Agreements, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreements, 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.
B. Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans (the “Plans”) to allow Class C, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource and Cash Management Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of account administration and/or personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares.

services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Funds.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C, Resource and Cash Management Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plans, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C, Resource and Cash Management Shares of the Funds.
The Trust, on behalf of the Service Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act to allow Service Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets of such shares.
D. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended February 28, 2017, Goldman Sachs has advised that it retained $704 and $171 in CDSCs with respect to Class C Shares of the FSQ Government and FSQ Prime Obligations Funds, respectively.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. The fee charged for such transfer agency services is accrued daily and paid monthly and is equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
F. Other Agreements — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding transfer agency fees and expenses, administration fees (as applicable), service fees (as applicable), shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.014% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.
In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

I. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2017, the Funds participated in a $1,100,000,000 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. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2016, the Funds’ certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Federal Instruments | | | Government | | | Money Market | | | Prime Obligations | | | Tax-Exempt Money Market | | | Treasury Instruments | | | Treasury Obligations | | | Treasury Solutions | |
Timing differences (Qualified Late Year Loss Deferral and Dividend Payable) | | $ | (4,091 | ) | | $ | (7,059,672 | ) | | $ | (2,160,322 | ) | | $ | (1,400,282 | ) | | $ | (1,240 | ) | | $ | (2,879,234 | ) | | $ | (1,491,189 | ) | | $ | (545,374 | ) |
At February 28, 2017, the aggregate cost for each Fund stated in the accompanying Schedules of Investments also approximates the aggregate cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three tax 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
67

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

|
6. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, a Fund’s yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates, and the market value of its securities or instruments may also be adversely affected. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to a Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders, pay expenses out of Fund assets, or, at times, maintain a stable $1.00 share price (or, for the Institutional Money Market Funds, minimize the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share). The risks associated with increasing interest rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but may be expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and a Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.
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, a Fund 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 a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Geographic and Sector Risk — The FSQ Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund may invest a significant portion of its total assets in certain issuers within the same state, geographic region or economic sector, which may subject the value of the Fund’s investments to risks associated with an adverse economic, business, political or environmental development affecting that state, region or sector.
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.
Exemptive Orders — Pursuant to SEC exemptive orders, the Funds may enter into certain principal transactions, including repurchase agreements, with Goldman Sachs.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Institutional Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares or Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and distribution, service and/or shareholder administration fees (with respect to all share classes except Institutional Shares and Class R6 Shares) and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Institutional Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares 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 September 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the column 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Money Market Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Investor Funds’ (the “Funds”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the money markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, U.S. money market fund reform and the U.S. presidential election were among the most significant events influencing the front, or short-term, end of the taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves. Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities. |
| When the Reporting Period began in September 2016, credit spreads (the difference in yields between government and taxable bonds of comparable maturity) widened in advance of money market fund reform, with final implementation taking effect in October 2016. In addition, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index spiked to its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. However, unlike in 2008, funding costs for banks did not increase due to market stress. Instead, spreads widened because of declining demand, as prime money market funds had been a key source of short-term bank funding. (Prime money market funds primarily invest in corporate debt securities.) Most of the flows went into government money market funds that invest in agency securities — and may offer higher yields benchmarked to LIBOR — benefiting government yields and reducing pressure on U.S. Treasury yields. (LIBOR, or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, is the interest rate that banks charge each other for short-term loans.) During September and October 2016, prime money market funds lost approximately $440 billion in assets, while government money market funds gained $410 billion in assets. After money market fund reform was implemented on October 14, 2016, credit spreads gradually tightened to end the Reporting Period at widths seen at the beginning of 2016. |
| Money market fund reform also impacted tax-exempt money market funds, with investment outflows reducing demand for one-day to seven-day maturities. In tandem with the outflows, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) Municipal Swap Index, representing seven-day tax-exempt variable rate demand obligations, rose. |
| In November 2016, Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election was widely viewed as a potential regime change in monetary and fiscal policy. The U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened as the markets began pricing in higher inflation due to greater anticipated government fiscal spending. |
| In December 2016, in a move widely expected by the markets, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised interest rates for the second time since the 2008 global financial crisis. Fed policymakers also raised their interest rate projections on the back of continued improvement in the U.S. labor market, rising wages and the potential of fiscal policy initiatives by the Trump administration. After the Fed’s December 2016 policy meeting, market expectations increased for additional Fed rate hikes in 2017, and money market yields generally moved higher. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the performance of the Funds during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The yields of the Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund (“the taxable Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (“the tax-exempt Fund”) rose during the Reporting Period, driven by the increase in money market yields, which was due primarily to the economic and market factors discussed above. Yields along the taxable money market yield curve rose, but the difference in yields between those on the shorter-term end of the curve and those on the longer-term end of the curve ended the Reporting Period near where it started. The tax-exempt money market yield curve steepened during the Reporting Period. |
| The interest rate and market environment did not provide bountiful opportunities to pick up additional yield. However, in keeping with our investment approach, we sought to position both Funds to take advantage of changes in the interest rate environment, and throughout the Reporting Period, we found pockets of opportunity to add extra yield. That said, it should be noted that regardless of interest rate conditions, we seek to manage the Funds consistently. Our investment approach has always been tri-fold — to seek |

| preservation of capital, daily liquidity and maximization of yield potential. We manage interest and credit risk daily. Whether interest rates are historically low, high or in-between, we intend to continue to use our actively managed approach to seek to provide the best possible return within the framework of the Funds’ guidelines and objectives. |
Q | | How did you manage the taxable Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the taxable Fund had investments in commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper, repurchase agreements (“repos”), variable rate demand notes, certificates of deposit, municipal securities and short-term corporate obligations. |
| In the taxable Fund, we maintained an especially low weighted average maturity of less than 10 days, along with a high level of liquidity, as the implementation of money market fund reform approached and amid uncertainty about investment flows from prime money market funds to government money market funds. Following the implementation of money market fund reform in October 2016, investment flows into prime money market funds stabilized, and we gradually extended the taxable Fund’s weighted average maturity. Toward the end of January 2017, as credit spreads normalized and we sought to add yield, we meaningfully extended the taxable Fund’s weighted average maturity to a range of between 30 days and 35 days. |
Q | | How did you manage the tax-exempt Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the tax-exempt Fund had investments in variable rate demand notes, tax-exempt commercial paper and other municipal securities. |
| We maintained a particularly low weighted average maturity and a high level of liquidity in the tax-exempt Fund in response to money market fund reform, which reduced demand for short-term money market securities. Tax-exempt mutual funds overall lost more than $78 billion in assets during the summer of 2016 and had regained only $3 billion in assets by the end of the Reporting Period. In November 2016, we extended the weighted average maturity of the tax-exempt Fund, maintaining it in a range of between 25 days and 35 days for the rest of the Reporting Period. We focused on securities scheduled to mature in late June 2017, as they generally offered higher yields than shorter maturities and also offered, in our view, some protection should the Fed raise interest rates multiple times in 2017. |
Q | | Did you make any changes to the Funds’ portfolios during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we made adjustments to the Funds’ weighted average maturities and their allocations to specific investments based on then-current market conditions, our near-term view and anticipated and actual Fed monetary policy statements. |
Q | | What is the Funds’ tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected U.S. economic growth to accelerate in the near term, driven by strong domestic demand and fiscal policy easing. The U.S. economy was already strengthening, in our view, prior to the November 2016 election, and we believe proposed fiscal stimulus and the potential loosening of regulations could provide additional support. We see U.S. economic growth picking up to 2.3% in 2017, with consumption underpinned in the near term by rising wages amid a labor market near full employment. (Full employment means the highest amount of skilled and unskilled labor that can be employed within an economy at any given time.) We also see scope for marginal improvements in business investment. That said, we remain alert to potential policy changes and geopolitical tensions, largely related to a more protectionist stance on trade, that might be associated with the Trump administration. |
| Regarding Fed policy, we expect a gradual pace of interest rate hikes — perhaps three in 2017 — as the most likely scenario, largely due to the possibility of a fiscal stimulus package and the consensus’ anticipation of continued improvement in the labor market along with rising wages. |
| In the taxable Fund, we expect to maintain a targeted weighted average maturity in a range of between 30 days and 35 days as we seek to add yield and to position the Fund for the potential of continued spread tightening. In the tax-exempt Fund, we plan to maintain positions at the shorter end of its weighted average maturity range because we anticipate three Fed rate hikes during 2017 and because we expect tax-exempt money market yields to rise due to tax-related investment outflows in April 2017. |
| Overall, we expect to keep both Funds conservatively positioned as we continue to focus on preservation of capital and daily liquidity. We do not believe there is value in sacrificing liquidity in exchange for opportunities that only modestly increase yield potential. We will continue to use our actively managed approach to seek the best possible |

| return within the framework of our Funds’ investment guidelines and objectives. In addition, we will continue to manage interest, liquidity and credit risk daily. We will also continue to closely monitor economic data, Fed policy and any shifts in the money market yield curves, as we strive to navigate the interest rate environment. |

| 1 | | The Money Market Fund offers seven separate classes of shares (Class I, Administration, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares) and the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund offers eleven separate classes of shares (Class I, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect performance and entitles shareholders to different services. The Class I Shares do not have distribution and/or service (12b-1), administration or service (non-12b-1) fees. The Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C Shares offer financial institutions the opportunity to receive fees for providing certain distribution, administrative support and/or shareholder services (as applicable). As an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, these share classes pay combined distribution and/or service (12b-1), administration and/or service (non-12b-1) fees (as applicable) at the following contractual rates: Select Shares pay 0.03%, Preferred Shares pay 0.10%, Capital Shares pay 0.15%, Administration Shares pay 0.25%, Premier Shares pay 0.35%, Service Shares pay 0.50%, Resource Shares pay 0.65%, Cash Management Shares pay 0.80%, Class A Shares pay 0.25%, and Class C Shares pay 1.00%. |

Index Definitions
The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index is based on the assumed purchase of a synthetic instrument having three months to maturity and with a coupon equal to the closing quote for three-month LIBOR. That issue is sold the following day (priced at a yield equal to the current day closing three-month LIBOR rate) and is rolled into a new three-month instrument. The index, therefore, will always have a constant maturity equal to exactly three months.
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) Municipal Swap Index is a seven-day high-grade market index comprised of tax-exempt variable rate demand obligations with certain characteristics. The Index is calculated and published by Bloomberg. The Index is overseen by SIFMA’s municipal swap index committee.

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered | | Diversified/ Non-Diversified |
Investor Money Market | | Class I, Administration, Service, Class A, Class C, Resource and Cash Management | | Diversified |
Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market | | Class I, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Class A, Class C, Resource and Cash Management | | Diversified |
Class C Shares may typically be acquired only in an exchange for Class C Shares of another Goldman Sachs Fund. Class C Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% during the first 12 months, measured from the time the original shares subject to the CDSC were acquired. Previously, ‘Class I Shares’ for the Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund were known as ‘Institutional Shares’.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (the “Agreements”) 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.
28
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
A. Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds is to use the amortized-cost method permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Act for valuing portfolio securities. The amortized-cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost and thereafter applying a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Normally, a security’s amortized cost will approximate its market value. Under procedures and tolerances approved by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”), GSAM evaluates daily the difference between each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share using the amortized costs of its portfolio securities and the Fund’s NAV per share using market-based values of its portfolio securities. The market-based value of a portfolio security is determined, where readily available, on the basis of market quotations provided by pricing services or securities dealers, or, where accurate market quotations are not readily available, on the basis of the security’s fair value as determined in accordance with Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which may consider (among other things): (i) yield or price with respect to debt securities that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to
29
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt 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 declared and recorded daily and paid monthly by the Funds and may include short-term capital gains. Long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Net capital losses, if any, 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.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Forward Commitments — A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The purchase of securities on a forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Although a Fund will generally purchase securities on a forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of forward commitments prior to settlement which may result in a realized gain or loss.
F. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Goldman Sachs Investor Money Market Fund were amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations.
G. 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
30
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
An MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
31
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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).
The Trustees have 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 (including both the amortized cost and market-based methods of valuation) of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies related to the market-based method of valuation, 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.
As of February 28, 2017, all investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Please refer to the Schedules of Investments for further detail.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreements — Under the Agreements, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreements, 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. GSAM has agreed to not impose a portion of the management fee equal annually to 0.045% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least December 29, 2017, and prior to such date, GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
B. Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans (the “Plans”) to allow Class C, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource and Cash Management Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of account administration and/or personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Plans provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets of such shares.
C. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of the Class A Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, Goldman Sachs, as Distributor, is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Funds.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C, Resource and Cash Management Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plans, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C, Resource and Cash Management Shares of the Funds.
The Trust, on behalf of the Service Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act to allow Service Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets of such shares.
D. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended February 28, 2017, Goldman Sachs has advised that it did not retain any CDSCs with respect to Class C Shares of the Funds.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. The fee charged for such transfer agency services is accrued daily and paid monthly and is equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
F. Other Agreements — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding transfer agency fees and expenses, administration fees (as applicable), service fees (as applicable), shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.014% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.
In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

In addition to the contractual fee waivers and expense limitations discussed above, during the six months ended February 28, 2017, GSAM and Goldman Sachs (as applicable) voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of the respective class-specific fees (consisting of Distribution and/or Service, Administration, Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plan fees) attributable to the Funds. These waivers may be modified or terminated at any time at the option of GSAM or Goldman Sachs (as applicable). The Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM or Goldman Sachs for prior fiscal year fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any.
For the six months ended February 28, 2017, expense reductions including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements were as follows (in thousands):

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — A Fund may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is solely due to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common Trustees. For the six months ended February 28, 2017, the purchase and sale transactions and related net realized gain (loss) for the Funds with affiliated funds in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Act were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Purchases | | | Sales | | | Net Realized Gain (Loss) | |
Investor Money Market | | | | $ | 31,760,379 | | | $ | 2,365,933 | | | $ | — | |
Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market | | | | | 157,941,893 | | | | 636,562,023 | | | | — | |
As of February 28, 2017, the Goldman Sachs Group (“GSG”), Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 100%, 16%, 100%, 100% and 99% of Service, Class A, Class C, Resource and Cash Management Shares, respectively, of the Investor Money Market Fund and 100%, 100%, 100% and 100% of Select, Capital, Premier and Class C Shares, respectively, of the Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund.
I. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2017, the Funds participated in a $1,100,000,000 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. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2016, the Funds’ certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Investor Money Market | | | Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market | |
Timing differences (Dividend Payable) | | $ | (278 | ) | | $ | (349,792 | ) |
At February 28, 2017, the aggregate cost for each Fund stated in the accompanying Schedule of Investments also approximates the aggregate cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three tax 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 financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients) and individuals, purchase or redeem
35
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

|
6. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, a Fund’s yield will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates, and the market value of its securities or instruments may also be adversely affected. A low interest rate environment poses additional risks to a Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders, pay expenses out of Fund assets, or, at times, maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The risks associated with increasing interest rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but may be expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and a Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.
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, a Fund 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 a Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Geographic and Sector Risk — The Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund may invest a significant portion of its total assets in certain issuers within the same state, geographic region or economic sector which may subject the value of the Fund’s investments to risks associated with an adverse economic, business, political or environmental development affecting that state, region or sector.
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.
Exemptive Orders — Pursuant to SEC exemptive orders, the Funds may enter into certain principal transactions, including repurchase agreements, with Goldman Sachs.
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2017 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class I Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares, Class A Shares, or Class C Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and distribution, service and/or administration fees (with respect to all share classes except Class I Shares) and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class I Shares, Select Shares, Preferred Shares, Capital Shares, Administration Shares, Premier Shares, Service Shares, Resource Shares, Cash Management Shares, Class A Shares, or Class C Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each Share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each Share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense 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.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Growth Funds
Market Review
Overall, U.S. equities rallied during the six months ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”), despite unexpected political events both domestically and abroad and a Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hike. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a gain of 10.01%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 10.29%.
As the Reporting Period began in early September 2016, U.S. and international equities alike fell as the European Central Bank disappointed markets with its lack of commitment to extend quantitative easing. However, there was a subsequent rebound following the Fed’s decision in September 2016 to leave interest rates unchanged. In October 2016, a combination of hawkish Fed commentary and mounting strong U.S. economic data led to increased market pricing for a December 2016 interest rate hike (Hawkish language or action tends to suggest higher interest rates (opposite of dovish)). U.S. GDP increased by 3.5% on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2016, above consensus expectations and the strongest growth rate in two years. Following the unexpected victory of Donald Trump in the November 2016 U.S. elections, U.S. equities quickly reversed a short-lived sell-off and surged on anticipation of a pro-growth effect of Mr. Trump’s fiscal stimulus plan. The Fed raised rates 0.25% in December 2016, for the first time in a year but as had largely been anticipated, and set a more hawkish hike path for 2017, causing equities to decline, albeit modestly, following the announcement.
U.S. equities rallied significantly in the first two months of 2017. In January 2017, markets searched for details on timing and scope behind President Trump’s campaign proclamations but rallied to new highs on the prospect of deregulation following executive orders on oil pipelines and on optimism around infrastructure spending after a $1 trillion proposal from Senate Democrats made headlines. However, U.S. equities subsequently retreated on political uncertainty and protectionism concerns following executive orders on immigration, a border wall and U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, popularly known as TPP. Amid a busy political agenda, U.S. economic data released in January 2017 remained encouraging. Consumer sentiment set a 13-year high in the month, and non-manufacturing data remained consistent with growth in service-providing industries. Industrial production in December 2016 had recorded its biggest increase in two years, and the Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing index also unexpectedly rose to a two-year high. Consumer prices rose in December 2016, making a fifth straight monthly gain and signaling to many modest inflationary pressures.
In February 2017, investors continued to assess the outlook for potential tax reform, deregulation and other economic policies out of the new administration, while also heeding the tone of Fed officials. The U.S. dollar strengthened on the month, as the market-implied probability of a March 2017 interest rate hike increased with Fed Chair Yellen’s testimony before Congress and hawkish comments from other Fed officials. Economic data released during the month remained robust. U.S. non-farm payrolls for January 2017 were well above market expectations at 227,000, with particular strength in the construction industry. The Institute of Supply Management’s manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices rose to a two-year and six-year high in February 2017, respectively; U.S. consumer confidence reached a 15-year high in February 2017; and the core personal consumption expenditure index increased 1.7% year over year in January 2017, while personal spending increased a modest 0.2% month over month.
For the Reporting Period overall, financials, information technology and industrials were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index by a wide margin. The weakest performing sector in the S&P 500 Index was real estate, the only one to post a negative absolute return,

MARKET REVIEW
followed by consumer staples, health care and energy, which were comparatively weak but generated positive returns during the Reporting Period.
Within the U.S. equity market, all capitalization segments posted positive returns, but small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, performed best, followed by large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, and then mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index. From a style perspective, value-oriented stocks significantly outpaced growth-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the Russell Investments indices.)
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the macroeconomic environment was shifting from low growth to pro-growth. Following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, we expect to see more aggressive fiscal and pro-business policies leading to strong U.S. and global economic growth. Chief Executive Officer confidence was already increasing toward the end of the Reporting Period and, in our view, could reignite what are known as corporate “animal spirits,” economist John Maynard Keynes’ term for the confidence and willingness to invest that are essential for economic growth. We believe the U.S. equity bull market could extend through 2017. Strong economic growth and revenue-driven earnings growth in the U.S. is a positive backdrop for equities, in our view. Moreover, equities can potentially do well in an environment of modestly rising interest rates and inflation, provided the underlying reason is healthy economic growth.
Given this view, we were increasingly positive on the outlook for U.S. economic and revenue-driven earnings growth at the end of the Reporting Period, although the U.S. equity market, we believe, remains expensive, both compared to its own history and to that of other regional equity markets. That said, we believe the U.S. equity market still offers significant opportunities at the stock level once more policy details become available and investors begin to focus on company-specific impacts. Policy changes from a populist, protectionist and unconventional U.S. president may well increase volatility and the dispersion of returns, as investors consider the effects of such policy changes on individual stocks, creating what we anticipate may be a good environment for active investment management.
Regardless of market direction, our fundamental, bottom-up stock selection continues to drive our process, rather than headlines or sentiment. We maintain high conviction in the companies the Funds own and believe they have the potential to outperform relative to the broader market regardless of economic growth conditions. As always, we maintain our focus on seeking companies that we believe will generate long-term growth in today’s ever-changing market conditions.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 8.83%, 8.44%, 9.03%, 8.75%, 8.93%, 8.69% and 9.05%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.15% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted solid absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted modestly from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was weak stock selection in the health care, information technology and financials sectors. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were consumer staples, real estate and consumer discretionary, wherein effective stock selection drove results. Having an underweighted allocation to real estate, which lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also helped. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in medical device company Edwards Lifesciences, consumer products retailer Newell Brands and pharmaceutical distribution services and medical supplies provider McKesson. |
| | Edwards Lifesciences, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, was the top detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, driven by earnings results that were well below market expectations. Despite the weakness, we remained positive on the company at the end of the Reporting Period. Edwards Lifesciences is a leading innovator in technologies that treat structural heart diseases, an area of largely unmet need. One of the company’s key innovations is transcatheter aortic valve replacement (“TAVR”), which is a minimally invasive procedure to replace heart valves. We believe the TAVR market opportunity remained compelling to the company’s valuation at the end of the Reporting Period. We also believe TAVR is in the early phases in terms of penetration and adoption. In our view, the company has substantial upside potential should it continue to take share away from open heart surgery and expand the market over the coming years. |
| | Newell Brands reported earnings that were below market expectations, causing its shares to decline. There was short-term investor concern that sales momentum may slow in the coming quarters due to ongoing integration work. Despite its underperformance, we continued to like the business and believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, that Newell Brands potentially represents a multi-year, double-digit earnings growth story. In our view, the company’s acquisition of Jarden, a similar holding company of consumer durable goods, could also yield meaningful synergies and earnings flexibility. Overall, we believed at the |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| end of the Reporting Period that Newell Brands has a strong management team with a demonstrated track record of delivering shareholder value through both organic growth and acquisitions. |
| Shares of McKesson declined after it reported fiscal second quarter 2017 results with earnings per share well below consensus estimates and its management reduced its 2017 earnings per share guidance. The health care sector in general has seen increased scrutiny over drug pricing procedures, creating a difficult environment to create value. While we continue to like the company, greater uncertainty in the near term led us to exit the position and allocate the capital to positions that have a more compelling risk/reward outlook, in our view. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the Russell Index were positions in information technology giant Apple, transportation provider CSX and digital media streaming company Netflix. |
| | Apple’s quarterly earnings during the Reporting Period were generally in line with market expectations on revenues and earnings per share, and its management remained constructive about guidance. During the Reporting Period, Apple launched the iPhone 7 as well as other products such as the new Apple watch and wireless earbuds. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see a number of strong growth catalysts for Apple, including solid iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus demand as well as ongoing product innovation and development. In our view, the company continues to deliver strong services growth, which we believe is important, as this decreases transactional volatility tied to product cycles. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on Apple’s significant installed base, experienced management, established brand name and continued innovation. |
| | CSX, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, provides rail, intermodal, domestic container shipping and contract logistics services around the world. Since being added to the Fund’s portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2016, the company saw its stock price spike in January 2017, as Canadian Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Hunter Harrison, resigned and was reportedly seeking a senior management position at CSX. The market viewed the potential move positively given Harrison’s strong reputation. The company also reported results that beat market expectations on revenues but slightly missed on earnings. In our view, CSX’s focus on margin expansion initiatives could be supportive of growth alongside a free cash flow inflection following investments in locomotives. We believe CSX is well positioned to benefit from a possible inflationary environment given its cyclical business model and also from potential tax reforms given its currently high tax rate. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were optimistic about CSX’s growth prospects, operation improvement potential and strong free cash flow generation. |
| During the Reporting Period, shares of Netflix gained sharply following exceptionally strong third and fourth quarter 2016 results with revenues and earnings that were well ahead of market expectations. Importantly, subscriber growth across both domestic and international markets was strong. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Netflix as the market leader within the digital media streaming industry, offering a convenient way to consume content without the burden of ownership. We further believed the company was well positioned to capture subscriber growth globally. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase of Edwards Lifesciences, already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Northern Trust, an international financial services firm. Northern Trust is a company we had previously owned in our portfolios for its high quality fundamentals, including a solid balance sheet and cash position. We believe Northern Trust is well positioned to benefit from interest rate hikes and significant organic growth opportunities within the custody and fund administration business. We are additionally positive on the company’s wealth management segment given its mix of both active and passive strategies. The company’s management has stated it expects to reinvest its earnings into the business while targeting a meaningful return on equity, which could benefit shareholders. Northern Trust also has a high payout ratio and is well capitalized, in our view. Finally, we believe Northern Trust may further benefit from potentially lower corporate tax rates. With what we consider to be an experienced management and a high quality franchise, we are optimistic on Northern Trust’s growth prospects. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in tobacco company Reynolds American during the Reporting Period. The company saw its stock price spike in October 2016 as news broke that British American Tobacco, which already owned 42% of Reynolds American, made a proposal to acquire the remaining 58% of the company at a premium. Following this development, we felt the risk/reward was less compelling and decided to sell the position. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in McCormick & Company, a manufacturer of spices, seasoning mixes and condiments. Its stock had been a strong performer for the Fund in the first half of 2016. However, the company’s premium valuation and more conventional consumer staples characteristics left it vulnerable amidst a cyclical market rotation, in our view. Consequently, we decided to exit the position. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s sector weightings. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the Russell Index in the financials sector. On the same date, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, health care, industrials, information technology, materials and real estate and had no positions at all in utilities or telecommunication services at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. The Fund typically holds 30-40 high quality growth companies and tends to be more concentrated in individual holdings, industries and sectors than the typical broadly diversified large-cap growth fund. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 6.79%, 6.39%, 7.00%, 6.91%, 6.62% and 6.95%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.15% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated solid positive absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted, albeit more modestly. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in the health care, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative results most during the Reporting Period. The only two sectors to contribute positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were consumer staples and materials. Effective stock selection helped most in consumer staples. Having an underweighted allocation to materials, which lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, drove results in that sector. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in global pharmaceutical company Allergan, water and wastewater applications services provider Xylem and consumer products retailer Newell Brands. |
| | During the Reporting Period, Allergan reported disappointing quarterly results due to persistent drug pricing pressures, which have weighed on the company and the pharmaceuticals industry broadly. Though we remain positive on the outlook of Allergan, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in favor of what we considered to be more compelling ideas. |
| | We believe the weakness in Xylem during the Reporting Period was less company specific and more related to an ongoing rotation into more cyclical stocks following the November U.S. elections. Despite the weakness, we remained positive on Xylem at the end of the Reporting Period and believed the company may benefit from secular growth and the recovery of utility spending. Additionally, we were optimistic about Xylem’s margin expansion prospects and believed its management team has done well to position the company for sustainable long-term growth. |
| | Newell Brands reported earnings that were below market expectations, causing its shares to decline. There was short-term investor concern that sales momentum may slow in the |
10
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| coming quarters due to ongoing integration work. While we continue to believe Newell Brands has a strong management team, we felt the risk/reward profile of the company had become less compelling for the concentrated growth strategy and so decided to exit the position during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in information technology giant Apple, transportation provider CSX and semiconductor company NXP Semiconductors. |
| | CSX, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, provides rail, intermodal, domestic container shipping and contract logistics services around the world. Since being added to the Fund’s portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2016, the company saw its stock price spike in January 2017, as Canadian Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Hunter Harrison, resigned and was reportedly seeking a senior management position at CSX. The market viewed the potential move positively given Harrison’s strong reputation. The company also reported results that beat market expectations on revenues but slightly missed on earnings. In our view, CSX’s focus on margin expansion initiatives could be supportive of growth alongside a free cash flow inflection following investments in locomotives. We believe CSX is well positioned to benefit from a possible inflationary environment given its cyclical business model and also from potential tax reforms given its currently high tax rate. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were optimistic about CSX’s growth prospects, operation improvement potential and strong free cash flow generation. |
| | Apple’s quarterly earnings during the Reporting Period were generally in line with market expectations on revenues and earnings per share, and its management remained constructive about guidance. During the Reporting Period, Apple launched the iPhone 7 as well as other products such as the new Apple watch and wireless earbuds. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see a number of strong growth catalysts for Apple, including solid iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus demand as well as ongoing product innovation and development. In our view, the company continues to deliver strong services growth, which we believe is important, as this decreases transactional volatility tied to product cycles. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on Apple’s significant installed base, experienced management, established brand name and continued innovation. |
| Shares of NXP Semiconductors gained sharply early in the Reporting Period following the announcement by Qualcomm that it would acquire NXP Semiconductors. Our thesis was that the company was a high quality franchise with a diverse opportunity set, differentiated product lineup and effective management team. We believed these factors positioned the company well for long-term growth. Later in the Reporting Period, we exited the Fund’s position in NXP Semiconductors in favor of other ideas. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to those purchases already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Northern Trust, an international financial services firm. Northern Trust is a company we had previously owned in our portfolios for its high quality fundamentals, including a solid balance sheet and cash position. We believe Northern Trust is well positioned to benefit from interest rate hikes and significant organic growth opportunities within the custody and fund administration business. We are additionally positive on the company’s wealth management segment given its mix of both active and passive strategies. The company’s management has stated it expects to reinvest its earnings into the business while targeting a meaningful return on equity, which could benefit shareholders. Northern Trust also has a high payout ratio and is well capitalized, in our view. Finally, we believe Northern Trust may further benefit from potentially lower corporate tax rates. With what we consider to be an experienced management and a high quality franchise, we are optimistic on Northern Trust’s growth prospects. |
| | We established a Fund position in media and entertainment company Walt Disney & Co. As the outlook for U.S. economic growth improved for many following the U.S. elections, we were positive on the ability of the company to capitalize on the potential opportunities, especially in their theme park revenue. We also felt some of the perceived risks surrounding its ESPN business were overstated. In our view, Disney has a strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and earnings growth and remains committed to buying back |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| shares. We are positive on the company moving forward and on its potential for sustained growth. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we eliminated the Fund’s position in multinational conglomerate 3M. In our view, 3M is undergoing a transition with revised earnings, particularly in its electronics business. We believe this is being driven by customers moving away from LED to OLED devices in televisions and smartphones. (LED stands for light-emitting diode. OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode.) We think this shift may add headwinds to the company’s earnings in the near term, and we exited the position to invest in what we considered to be relatively more attractive risk/reward ideas. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in tobacco company Reynolds American during the Reporting Period. The company saw its stock price spike in October 2016 as news broke that British American Tobacco, which already owned 42% of Reynolds American, made a proposal to acquire the remaining 58% of the company at a premium. Following this development, we felt the risk/reward was less compelling and decided to sell the position. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to energy, financials and industrials increased and its allocations to health care, information technology and real estate decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, information technology and real estate sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, health care and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted relative to the Russell Index in consumer staples, energy and industrials and had no positions at all in the utilities and telecommunication services sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team and the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discuss the Goldman Sachs Dynamic U.S. Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.60%, 9.16%, 9.75%, 9.67%, 9.41% and 9.84%, respectively. These returns compare to the 10.01% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted positive absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in energy, industrials and health care detracted from the Fund’s relative results most. The only two sectors to contribute positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were financial and materials, wherein effective stock selection helped. Having an overweighted allocation to financials, which significantly outperformed the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted the Fund’s relative results. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to its benchmark index were positions in oil and gas exploration and production company Southwestern Energy, beer producer and seller Molson Coors Brewing and global pharmaceutical company Allergan. |
| | The stock price of Southwestern Energy came under pressure during the Reporting Period largely due to weak natural gas prices. Additionally, investors felt there was a lack of transparency in future guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see upside potential for Southwestern Energy given what we view as the company’s high quality assets, specifically in the Marcellus, Fayetteville and Utica shales. We also remained encouraged by its management team’s focus on cutting costs and divesting assets as it seeks to maintain an appropriate level of debt and by its commitment to capital efficiency amidst a challenging macro environment. |
| | Shares of Molson Coors Brewing declined following the U.S. elections as did other names in the beverage industry. Much of this was driven by weaker than expected scanner data. (Scanner data is retail purchase information (such as price, brand, product size, amount purchased) gathered at the point of purchase by an electronic device that reads a coded ticket on the product through the use of an electronic reader over |
16
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| which the product passes.) Still, the company reported earnings that slightly beat modest market estimates. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Molson Coors Brewing given the potential for value creation from its transformational acquisition of the Miller joint venture. We expect the deal may unlock greater cost and revenue synergy opportunities than currently expected by the market and may well drive significant margin expansion over time, in our view. Additionally, we think consolidation within the industry could lead to more positive tailwinds. |
| | During the Reporting Period, Allergan reported disappointing quarterly results due to persistent drug pricing pressures, which have weighed on the company and the pharmaceuticals industry broadly. Though we remain positive on the outlook of Allergan, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in favor of what we considered to be more compelling ideas. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the S&P 500 Index from positions in Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase, each of the financials sector, which broadly rose following the U.S. presidential election as investor sentiment around the sector, and banks in particular, improved. Sentiment improved as investors anticipated both a more attractive regulatory environment and increases in interest rates. |
| | Additionally, on a more company-specific level, the stock price of Bank of America strengthened after the company reported revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus expectations, largely due to improved trading and investment banking growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed shares of Bank of America remained attractively valued given rising U.S. interest rates and an improving U.S. economy. In our view, its management is committed to bettering execution, growing margins and returning capital to shareholders. |
| | Wells Fargo was a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. Following a challenging period for Wells Fargo in September and October 2016 due to the company being fined for illegal sales practices, the departure of its Chief Executive Officer, John Stumpf, and negative scrutiny, the company rebounded with strong performance through the rest of the Reporting Period. Following the decline, we had taken the opportunity to add the company to the Fund’s portfolio, as we believed the fine to be relatively minor given the company’s size and particularly in the then-current regulatory environment. The market appeared to take a positive view on the change in management, and Wells Fargo announced good earnings in October 2016, with earnings per share and fee income coming in better than market expectations. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in what we viewed as Wells Fargo’s strong deposit franchise and leading national distribution network. We also believed its shares were trading at a compelling valuation relative to its peer group and the overall market. In our view, the company’s experienced management team and what we consider to be its strong balance sheet positioned it well for increasing shareholder distributions. |
| | Shares of JPMorgan Chase enjoyed strong performance throughout the Reporting Period driven by solid earnings that were generally positive across several quarters. The company also continued to grow loans and gain market share, and its management remained focused on utilizing technology to reduce costs and improve efficiency across business lines. Overall, we remained positive on JPMorgan Chase’s business outlook and continued to find the stock compelling from a risk-reward perspective. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to those purchases already mentioned, we established a Fund position in media and entertainment company Walt Disney & Co. As the outlook for U.S. economic growth improved for many following the U.S. elections, we were positive on the ability of the company to capitalize on the potential opportunities, especially in their theme park revenue. We also felt some of the perceived risks surrounding its ESPN business were overstated. In our view, Disney has a strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and earnings growth and remains committed to buying back shares. We are positive on the company moving forward and on its potential for sustained growth. |
| | Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in pharmaceutical distribution services and medical supplies provider McKesson. Shares of McKesson declined after it reported fiscal second quarter 2017 results with earnings per share well below consensus estimates and its management reduced |

| its 2017 earnings per share guidance. The health care sector in general has seen increased scrutiny over drug pricing procedures, creating a difficult environment to create value. While we continue to like the company, greater uncertainty in the near term led us to exit the position and allocate the capital to positions that have a more compelling risk/reward outlook, in our view. |
| | We eliminated the Fund’s position in health care equipment and services company Abbott Laboratories. The company’s share price had experienced weakness over acquisition-related news, along with foreign exchange headwinds and market growth deterioration in its pediatric nutrition segment in China. Although we continue to believe Abbott Laboratories is a growing business that capitalizes on strong execution, we exited the Fund’s position to invest in companies we considered to have a more favorable risk/ reward profile. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer discretionary and financials increased and its allocations to health care, industrials, information technology, materials and energy decreased compared to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s position in cash increased during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P 500 Index in consumer discretionary, financials, consumer staples and real estate. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P 500 Index in health care, industrials and information technology and was rather neutrally weighted to the S&P 500 Index in energy and materials. The Fund had no positions at all in telecommunication services and utilities at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments in small-, mid- and large-capitalization issuers. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 7.44%, 7.03%, 7.72%, 7.59%, 7.30% and 7.72%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.17% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated solid positive absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted, albeit more modestly. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were industrials, information technology and consumer discretionary, wherein stock selection proved challenging. The only two sectors that contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were financials and telecommunication services, wherein effective stock selection drove results. Having an overweighted allocation to financials, which outperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also helped. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in food manufacturer TreeHouse Foods, water and wastewater applications services provider Xylem and consumer products retailer Newell Brands. |
| Shares of TreeHouse Foods declined after the company reported mixed second quarter 2016 earnings and announced the retirement of its Chief Financial Officer. Then, in November 2016, the company reported disappointing third calendar quarter results with sales and earnings below market expectations. TreeHouse Foods also announced management changes, which, alongside plans to reorganize its sales force, led to some near-term uncertainty. Following the drop in its stock price, however, the company saw better performance, especially in February 2017 when it announced earnings that were better than the market feared, causing its stock price to regain some of the prior losses. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on TreeHouse Foods’ growth opportunities, including its acquisition of Ralcorp through which it could potentially extract long-term value for shareholders. |
| We believe the weakness in Xylem during the Reporting Period was less company specific and more related to an ongoing rotation into more cyclical stocks following the |
22
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| November U.S. elections. Despite the weakness, we remained positive on Xylem at the end of the Reporting Period and believed the company may benefit from secular growth and the recovery of utility spending. Additionally, we were optimistic about Xylem’s margin expansion prospects and believed its management team has done well to position the company for sustainable long-term growth. |
| Newell Brands reported earnings that were below market expectations, causing its shares to decline. There was short- term investor concern that sales momentum may slow in the coming quarters due to ongoing integration work. Despite its underperformance, we continued to like the business and believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, that Newell Brands potentially represents a multi-year, double-digit earnings growth story. In our view, the company’s acquisition of Jarden, a similar holding company of consumer durable goods, could also yield meaningful synergies and earnings flexibility. Overall, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that Newell Brands has a strong management team with a demonstrated track record of delivering shareholder value through both organic growth and acquisitions. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the Russell Index were positions in investment banking advisory company Evercore Partners, information technology giant Apple and transportation provider CSX. |
| During the Reporting Period, shares of Evercore Partners gained steadily, as the company reported consecutive quarters of positive results. Evercore was a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. We expected to see Evercore Partners taking share from bulge bracket firms and other independent boutiques. (The bulge bracket comprises the world’s largest and most profitable multinational investment banks whose investment banking clients are usually large corporations, institutions and governments.) The company had also made a conscious decision to reduce its investment management business and focus on delivering margins through higher productivity and cost control initiatives. With a meaningful share buyback and rise in dividends, Evercore Partners’ management has emphasized a focus on returning capital to shareholders. We initiated the purchase as we viewed Evercore Partners as a high quality growth company with an experienced management team and a favorable valuation. As our investment thesis largely played out, we sold the Fund’s position in the company by the end of the Reporting Period. |
| Apple’s quarterly earnings during the Reporting Period were generally in line with market expectations on revenues and earnings per share, and its management remained constructive about guidance. During the Reporting Period, Apple launched the iPhone 7 as well as other products such as the new Apple watch and wireless earbuds. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see a number of strong growth catalysts for Apple, including solid iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus demand as well as ongoing product innovation and development. In our view, the company continues to deliver strong services growth, which we believe is important, as this decreases transactional volatility tied to product cycles. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on Apple’s significant installed base, experienced management, established brand name and continued innovation. |
| CSX, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, provides rail, intermodal, domestic container shipping and contract logistics services around the world. Since being added to the Fund’s portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2016, the company saw its stock price spike in January 2017, as Canadian Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Hunter Harrison, resigned and was reportedly seeking a senior management position at CSX. The market viewed the potential move positively given Harrison’s strong reputation. The company also reported results that beat market expectations on revenues but slightly missed on earnings. In our view, CSX’s focus on margin expansion initiatives could be supportive of growth alongside a free cash flow inflection following investments in locomotives. We believe CSX is well positioned to benefit from a possible inflationary environment given its cyclical business model and also from potential tax reforms given its currently high tax rate. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were optimistic about CSX’s growth prospects, operation improvement potential and strong free cash flow generation. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
23
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchases already mentioned, we established a Fund position in leading pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly. In our view, Eli Lilly has a strong history of innovation and a solid upcoming pipeline. The company is coming off its patent cliff years and entering a phase of growth driven by new products. We see its margins expanding as new drugs improve its overall product mix. We believe Eli Lilly is a high quality company with leading franchises, strong growth prospects and an improving financial profile. (Patent cliff is a colloquialism to denote the potential sharp decline in revenues upon patent expiration of one or more leading products of a firm. A patent cliff is when a firm’s revenues could “fall off a cliff” when one or more established products go off-patent, since these products can be replicated and sold at much cheaper prices by competitors. While it is applicable to any industry, in recent years the term “patent cliff” has come to be associated almost exclusively with the pharmaceutical industry.) |
| We initiated a Fund position in Northern Trust, an international financial services firm. Northern Trust is a company we had previously owned in our portfolios for its high quality fundamentals, including a solid balance sheet and cash position. We believe Northern Trust is well positioned to benefit from interest rate hikes and significant organic growth opportunities within the custody and fund administration business. We are additionally positive on the company’s wealth management segment given its mix of both active and passive strategies. The company’s management has stated it expects to reinvest its earnings into the business while targeting a meaningful return on equity, which could benefit shareholders. Northern Trust also has a high payout ratio and is well capitalized, in our view. Finally, we believe Northern Trust may further benefit from potentially lower corporate tax rates. With what we consider to be an experienced management and a high quality franchise, we are optimistic on Northern Trust’s growth prospects. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we eliminated the Fund’s position in health care equipment and services company Abbott Laboratories. The company’s share price had experienced weakness over acquisition-related news, along with foreign exchange headwinds and market growth deterioration in its pediatric nutrition segment in China. Although we continue to believe Abbott Laboratories is a growing business that capitalizes on strong execution, we exited the Fund’s position to invest in companies we considered to have a more favorable risk/reward profile. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in McCormick & Company, a manufacturer of spices, seasoning mixes and condiments. Its stock had been a strong performer for the Fund in the first half of 2016. However, the company’s premium valuation and more conventional consumer staples characteristics left it vulnerable amidst a cyclical market rotation, in our view. Consequently, we decided to exit the position. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to energy, financials, health care and industrials increased and its allocations to consumer discretionary and consumer staples decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the energy, financials and industrials sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, consumer staples and materials and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in health care, information technology and real estate. The Fund had no positions at all in the utilities and telecommunication services sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Focused Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Focused Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 6.10%, 5.73%, 6.34%, 6.27%, 6.04% and 6.38%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.15% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted positive absolute returns, but sector allocation overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection as a whole also detracted, albeit more modestly, during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in industrials, health care and financials detracted from the Fund’s relative results most. Having underweighted allocations to industrials and health care also hurt. Effective stock selection in the consumer staples and information technology sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in global pharmaceutical company Allergan, water and wastewater applications services provider Xylem and beer producer and seller Molson Coors Brewing. |
| | During the Reporting Period, Allergan reported disappointing quarterly results due to persistent drug pricing pressures, which have weighed on the company and the pharmaceuticals industry broadly. Though we remain positive on the outlook of Allergan, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in favor of what we considered to be more compelling ideas. |
| | We believe the weakness in Xylem during the Reporting Period was less company specific and more related to an ongoing rotation into more cyclical stocks following the November U.S. elections. Despite the weakness, we remained positive on Xylem at the end of the Reporting Period and believed the company may benefit from secular growth and the recovery of utility spending. Additionally, we were optimistic about Xylem’s margin expansion prospects and believed its management team has done well to position the company for sustainable long-term growth. |
| | Shares of Molson Coors Brewing declined following the U.S. elections as did other names in the beverage industry. Much of this was driven by weaker than expected scanner data. (Scanner data is retail purchase information (such as price, brand, product size, amount purchased) gathered at the point |

| of purchase by an electronic device that reads a coded ticket on the product through the use of an electronic reader over which the product passes.) Still, the company reported earnings that slightly beat modest estimates. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Molson Coors Brewing given the potential for value creation from its transformational acquisition of the Miller joint venture. We expect the deal may unlock greater cost and revenue synergy opportunities than currently expected by the market and may well drive significant margin expansion over time, in our view. Additionally, we think consolidation within the industry could lead to more positive tailwinds. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among those stocks the Fund benefited from relative to the Russell Index were positions in transportation provider CSX, information technology giant Apple and biopharmaceutical company Incyte. |
| | CSX, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, provides rail, intermodal, domestic container shipping and contract logistics services around the world. Since being added to the Fund’s portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2016, the company saw its stock price spike in January 2017, as Canadian Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Hunter Harrison, resigned and was reportedly seeking a senior management position at CSX. The market viewed the potential move positively given Harrison’s strong reputation. The company also reported results that beat market expectations on revenues but slightly missed on earnings. In our view, CSX’s focus on margin expansion initiatives could be supportive of growth alongside a free cash flow inflection following investments in locomotives. We believe CSX is well positioned to benefit from a possible inflationary environment given its cyclical business model and also from potential tax reforms given its currently high tax rate. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were optimistic about CSX’s growth prospects, operation improvement potential and strong free cash flow generation. |
| | Apple’s quarterly earnings during the Reporting Period were generally in line with market expectations on revenues and earnings per share, and its management remained constructive about guidance. During the Reporting Period, Apple launched the iPhone 7 as well as other products such as the new Apple watch and wireless earbuds. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see a number of strong growth catalysts for Apple, including solid iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus demand as well as ongoing product innovation and development. In our view, the company continues to deliver strong services growth, which we believe is important, as this decreases transactional volatility tied to product cycles. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on Apple’s significant installed base, experienced management, established brand name and continued innovation. |
| During the Reporting Period, Incyte announced it would be advancing one of its key oncology drugs, Epacadostat, into five additional tumor types, which was above market expectations. Additionally, the announced acquisition of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals by Takeda was viewed as a positive for the industry broadly, demonstrating the scarcity value of mid-cap oncology franchises like Incyte. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our belief that Incyte has a strong combination of growing revenues and pipeline opportunities that make it, in our view, a compelling growth investment. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchases already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Northern Trust, an international financial services firm. Northern Trust is a company we had previously owned in our portfolios for its high quality fundamentals, including a solid balance sheet and cash position. We believe Northern Trust is well positioned to benefit from interest rate hikes and significant organic growth opportunities within the custody and fund administration business. We are additionally positive on the company’s wealth management segment given its mix of both active and passive strategies. The company’s management has stated it expects to reinvest its earnings into the business while targeting a meaningful return on equity, which could benefit shareholders. Northern Trust also has a high payout ratio and is well capitalized, in our view. Finally, we believe Northern Trust may further benefit from potentially lower corporate tax rates. With what we consider to be an experienced management and a high quality franchise, we are optimistic on Northern Trust’s growth prospects. |
29
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| We established a Fund position in Danaher, a company that designs, manufactures and markets medical, industrial and commercial products and services. We liked the company for its disciplined approach to capital deployment, investing through acquisitions with what it considered to be attractive economics. Danaher has also continued to post favorable organic growth, especially relative to its peers and in a low economic growth environment. Danaher has additionally adjusted its focus on business areas less tied to capital equipment spending, and we believe this could serve the company well in the long term. Our thesis was that Danaher is a high quality company that was reasonably priced, with what we viewed as an outstanding management team and high barriers to entry in its key business segments. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in Honeywell International. Honeywell International is a diversified technology and manufacturing company, which offers aerospace products, power generation systems, specialty chemicals and electronic materials. During the fourth quarter of 2016, Honeywell International pre-announced earnings that were lower than market expectations, causing its shares to decline. The company also revised its third quarter 2016 revenue growth outlook lower amidst weaker results in its aerospace business segment and generally soft industry conditions. While we continue to like the franchise, we believed the company was going through a slow stretch of growth, while its management was also transitioning. We believed these developments warranted prudence. Thus, we exited the Fund’s position in favor of other ideas with what we believe are more compelling risk/reward opportunities. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in health care equipment and services company Abbott Laboratories. The company’s share price had experienced weakness over acquisition-related news, along with foreign exchange headwinds and market growth deterioration in its pediatric nutrition segment in China. Although we continue to believe Abbott Laboratories is a growing business that capitalizes on strong execution, we exited the Fund’s position to invest in companies we considered to have a more favorable risk/ reward profile. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer discretionary, energy, financials and health care increased and its allocations to consumer staples, industrials, information technology, materials and real estate decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the financials, real estate and energy sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, health care, industrials and information technology. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer staples and had no positions at all in the materials, telecommunication services or utilities sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in medium-sized growth companies with a market capitalization between $1 and $10 billion. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.13%, 2.72%, 3.35%, 3.06%, 3.30%, 3.05% and 3.31%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.74% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated positive absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted, albeit much more modestly. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s relative results was challenging stock selection in the information technology, consumer staples and industrials sectors. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were health care, telecommunication services and energy, wherein effective stock selection drove results. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in food manufacturer TreeHouse Foods, water and wastewater applications services provider Xylem and consumer products retailer Newell Brands. |
| | Shares of TreeHouse Foods declined after the company reported mixed second quarter 2016 earnings and announced the retirement of its Chief Financial Officer. Then, in November 2016, the company reported disappointing third calendar quarter results with sales and earnings below market expectations. TreeHouse Foods also announced management changes, which, alongside plans to reorganize its sales force, led to some near-term uncertainty. Following the drop in its stock price, however, the company saw better performance, especially in February 2017 when it announced earnings that were better than the market feared, causing its stock price to regain some of the prior losses. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on TreeHouse Foods’ growth opportunities, including its acquisition of Ralcorp through which it could potentially extract long-term value for shareholders. |
| | We believe the weakness in Xylem during the Reporting Period was less company specific and more related to an ongoing rotation into more cyclical stocks following the November U.S. elections. Despite the weakness, we remained positive on Xylem at the end of the Reporting |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Period and believed the company may benefit from secular growth and the recovery of utility spending. Additionally, we were optimistic about Xylem’s margin expansion prospects and believed its management team has done well to position the company for sustainable long-term growth. |
| | Newell Brands reported earnings that were below market expectations, causing its shares to decline. There was short-term concern that sales momentum may slow in the coming quarters due to ongoing integration work. Despite its underperformance, we continued to like the business and believed, at the end of the Reporting Period, that Newell Brands potentially represents a multi-year, double-digit earnings growth story. In our view, the company’s acquisition of Jarden, a similar holding company of consumer durable goods, could also yield meaningful synergies and earnings flexibility. Overall, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that Newell Brands has a strong management team with a demonstrated track record of delivering shareholder value through both organic growth and acquisitions. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in diversified technology company Roper Technologies, integrated communications services provider Level 3 Communications and veterinary clinics operator VCA. |
| | Roper Technologies provides engineered products and solutions for the global niche markets. For much of the Reporting Period, the company performed in line with the overall market. However, in February 2017, its stock price spiked, as it announced solid earnings that beat market expectations on earnings per share and also announced strong guidance. Roper Technologies focuses on cash return on investment (“CROI”) metrics, which have historically served the company well. In our view, Roper Technologies has a significant runway for its differentiated merger and acquisition strategy to potentially grow the business. We think the company’s margins and CROI could continue to expand as it transitions from an industrial company to a more software aligned company. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were optimistic on what we viewed as the company’s innovative measures, disciplined capital deployment and its management’s solid execution ability. |
| | During the Reporting Period, Level 3 Communications announced it had accepted an acquisition offer from CenturyLink, a communication services provider. Following the news, the stock’s price rose, and we decided to exit the Fund’s position in the company. |
| | VCA announced during the Reporting Period that it had accepted a buyout offer from Mars, Inc. We had initiated a position in VCA earlier in 2016, as we believed there was positive momentum in the U.S. veterinary market, and the company’s same-store revenue growth had remained strong. We were encouraged by this acquisition news and exited the Fund’s position in VCA accordingly, taking profits after the stock surged on the announcement. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in Northern Trust, an international financial services firm. Northern Trust is a company we had previously owned in our portfolios for its high quality fundamentals, including a solid balance sheet and cash position. We believe Northern Trust is well positioned to benefit from interest rate hikes and significant organic growth opportunities within the custody and fund administration business. We are additionally positive on the company’s wealth management segment given its mix of both active and passive strategies. The company’s management has stated it expects to reinvest its earnings into the business while targeting a meaningful return on equity, which could benefit shareholders. Northern Trust also has a high payout ratio and is well capitalized, in our view. Finally, we believe Northern Trust may further benefit from potentially lower corporate tax rates. With what we consider to be an experienced management and a high quality franchise, we are optimistic on Northern Trust’s growth prospects. |
| | We established a Fund position in financial services technology company Fiserv. The company provides products and services used to process electronic payment transactions and other account processing services. Fiserv has a strong long-term track record, and we believe is poised to accelerate organic revenue growth. We are positive on the company’s ability to continue to grow revenue and increase margins. We also look to the positive benefits that could come from potential tax reforms given its currently high tax rate. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in Fidelity National Information Services. In February 2017, the company reported fourth quarter 2016 results that were in line with market expectations but lowered its outlook for 2017. Based on this disappointing outlook, we decided to sell the Fund’s position and allocate capital into other ideas with what we believed to be more compelling risk/reward opportunities. |
| | We eliminated the Fund’s position in McCormick & Company, a manufacturer of spices, seasoning mixes and condiments. Its stock had been a strong performer for the Fund in the first half of 2016. However, the company’s premium valuation and more conventional consumer staples characteristics left it vulnerable amidst a cyclical market rotation, in our view. Consequently, we decided to exit the position. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to financials, industrials, real estate and information technology increased and its allocations to consumer discretionary, consumer staples, health care, materials, and telecommunication services decreased relative to the Russell Index. |

On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, consumer staples, health care and real estate. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in information technology, energy and materials and had no positions at all in telecommunication services and utilities at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in small and medium-sized growth companies with a market capitalization between $15 million and $43 billion. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.60%, 4.24%, 4.76%, 4.54%, 4.73%, 4.46% and 4.80%, respectively. These returns compare to the 8.52% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated positive absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted, albeit much more modestly. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting from relative results most during the Reporting Period were industrials, information technology and consumer discretionary, wherein stock selection was challenging. Effective stock selection in the financials, telecommunication services and energy sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an overweighted allocation to financials, which outperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also buoyed the Fund’s relative results. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in food manufacturer TreeHouse Foods, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company Cempra and wireless communication towers operator SBA Communications. |
| | Shares of TreeHouse Foods declined after the company reported mixed second quarter 2016 earnings and announced the retirement of its Chief Financial Officer. Then, in November 2016, the company reported disappointing third calendar quarter results with sales and earnings below market expectations. TreeHouse Foods also announced management changes, which, alongside plans to reorganize its sales force, led to some near-term uncertainty. Following the drop in its stock price, however, the company saw better performance, especially in February 2017 when it announced earnings that were better than the market feared, causing its stock price to regain some of the prior losses. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on TreeHouse Foods’ growth opportunities, including its acquisition of Ralcorp through which it could potentially extract long-term value for shareholders. |
| Cempra’s shares declined following its third quarter 2016 earnings report, as the company announced disappointing test |

| results for one of its key pipeline treatments. As a result, we exited the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period. |
| | In our view, there were no company-specific drivers of SBA Communications’ share price weakness. Early in the Reporting Period, the company’s shares declined, as the rapid rise in interest rates following the U.S. elections was seen as a negative for the company. Its shares rallied late in the Reporting Period, as the company reported encouraging results and as demand for mobile data increased. Despite the near-term weakness, we remained positive at the end of the Reporting Period on its long-term prospects. In our view, SBA Communications should benefit from secular trends toward growing data usage and is well positioned for growth as it penetrates new markets. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the Russell Index were positions in veterinary clinics operator VCA, biopharmaceutical company Exelixis and investment banking advisory company Evercore Partners. |
| | VCA announced during the Reporting Period that it had accepted a buyout offer from Mars, Inc. We had initiated a position in VCA earlier in 2016, as we believed there was positive momentum in the U.S. veterinary market, and the company’s same-store revenue growth had remained strong. We were encouraged by this acquisition news and exited the Fund’s position in VCA accordingly. |
| | Exelixis engages in the development and commercialization of oncology treatments. Its shares gained following strong results during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company and believed it is a well-run and profitable oncology company that has what we consider to be attractive growth and value opportunities within its industry. |
| | During the Reporting Period, shares of Evercore Partners gained steadily, as the company reported consecutive quarters of positive results. Evercore was a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. We expected to see Evercore Partners taking share from bulge bracket firms and other independent boutiques. (The bulge bracket comprises the world’s largest and most profitable multinational investment banks whose investment banking clients are usually large corporations, institutions, and governments.) The company had also made a conscious decision to reduce its investment management business and focus on delivering margins through higher productivity and cost control initiatives. With a meaningful share buyback and rise in dividends, Evercore Partners’ management has emphasized a focus on returning capital to shareholders. We initiated the purchase as we viewed Evercore Partners as a high quality growth company with an experienced management team and a favorable valuation. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to those purchases already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Nevro, a medical device manufacturer. We view the company as having strong growth prospects, as it works to expand its patented spinal pain treatment product into other pain remedy markets. We are encouraged by Nevro’s ability to gain market share at a rapid pace through its disruptive technology and sales efforts. Overall, we believe the company presents a favorable risk/reward opportunity. |
| | We established a Fund position in Badger Meter. Badger Meter is a water metering and flow equipment company. We believe the company has the opportunity for accelerating growth should municipal spending recover. Additionally, we believe the company is well positioned within its industry, which has seen some signs of consolidation. |
| | Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we eliminated the Fund’s position in McCormick & Company, a manufacturer of spices, seasoning mixes and condiments. Its stock had been a strong performer for the Fund in the first half of 2016. However, the company’s premium valuation and more conventional consumer staples characteristics left it vulnerable amidst a cyclical market rotation, in our view. Consequently, we decided to exit the position. |
41
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to financials, industrials and information technology increased and its allocations to consumer discretionary, consumer staples, health care, materials and telecommunication services decreased relative to the Russell Index. The Fund’s position in cash increased during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the Russell Index in the financials, information technology and consumer staples sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, health care and real estate. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in energy, industrials and materials and had no positions at all in telecommunication services and utilities at the end of the Reporting Period. |

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 1.6% of the Fund’s net assets as of February 28, 2017.

Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. The Fund is more selective and focused than many mutual funds and there are typically 50 to 70 holdings in the portfolio. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team has focused on several key investment criteria that it believes can drive a company’s growth over the long term. These characteristics are: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management. The Team strives to purchase these companies at reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 7.62%, 7.27%, 7.91%, 7.61%, 7.86%, 7.57% and 7.93%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.15% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted solid absolute gains, but stock selection and sector allocation overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in health care, information technology and industrials detracted from the Fund’s relative results most during the Reporting Period. The only two sectors that contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were consumer discretionary and consumer staples, wherein effective stock selection drove results. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among the stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in pharmaceutical distribution services and medical supplies provider McKesson, water and wastewater applications services provider Xylem and health care equipment and services company Abbott Laboratories. |
| | Shares of McKesson declined after it reported fiscal second quarter 2017 results with earnings per share well below consensus estimates and its management reduced its 2017 earnings per share guidance. The health care sector in general has seen increased scrutiny over drug pricing procedures, creating a difficult environment to create value. While we continue to like the company, greater uncertainty in the near term led us to exit the position and allocate the capital to positions that have a more compelling risk/reward outlook, in our view. |
| | We believe the weakness in Xylem during the Reporting Period was less company specific and more related to an ongoing rotation into more cyclical stocks following the November U.S. elections. Despite the weakness, we remained positive on Xylem at the end of the Reporting Period and believed the company may benefit from secular growth and the recovery of utility spending. Additionally, we were optimistic about Xylem’s margin expansion prospects |
46
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| and believed its management team has done well to position the company for sustainable long-term growth. |
| | Abbott Laboratories’ share price experienced weakness in October 2016 when it was disclosed that St. Jude, a pending acquisition of the company, was experiencing premature battery depletion in some of its devices. Also in October 2016, Abbott Laboratories announced third calendar quarter earnings that were generally in line with market consensus. The company’s share price continued to experience weakness over acquisition-related news, along with foreign exchange headwinds and market growth deterioration in its pediatric nutrition segment in China. Although we continue to believe Abbott Laboratories is a growing business that capitalizes on strong execution, we exited the Fund’s position to invest in companies we considered to have a more favorable risk/reward profile. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the Russell Index were positions in transportation provider CSX, information technology giant Apple and digital media streaming company Netflix. |
| | CSX, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, provides rail, intermodal, domestic container shipping and contract logistics services around the world. Since being added to the Fund’s portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2016, the company saw its stock price spike in January 2017, as Canadian Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Hunter Harrison, resigned and was reportedly seeking a senior management position at CSX. The market viewed the potential move positively given Harrison’s strong reputation. The company also reported results that beat market expectations on revenues but slightly missed on earnings. In our view, CSX’s focus on margin expansion initiatives could be supportive of growth alongside a free cash flow inflection following investments in locomotives. We believe CSX is well positioned to benefit from a possible inflationary environment given its cyclical business model and also from potential tax reforms given its currently high tax rate. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were optimistic about CSX’s growth prospects, operation improvement potential and strong free cash flow generation. |
| | Apple’s quarterly earnings during the Reporting Period were generally in line with market expectations on revenues and earnings per share, and its management remained constructive about guidance. During the Reporting Period, Apple launched the iPhone 7 as well as other products such as the new Apple watch and wireless earbuds. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see a number of strong growth catalysts for Apple, including solid iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus demand as well as ongoing product innovation and development. In our view, the company continues to deliver strong services growth, which we believe is important, as this decreases transactional volatility tied to product cycles. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on Apple’s significant installed base, experienced management, established brand name and continued innovation. |
| | During the Reporting Period, shares of Netflix gained sharply following exceptionally strong third and fourth quarter 2016 results with revenues and earnings that were well ahead of market expectations. Importantly, subscriber growth across both domestic and international markets was strong. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Netflix as the market leader within the digital media streaming industry, offering a convenient way to consume content without the burden of ownership. We further believed the company was well positioned to capture subscriber growth globally. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to those purchases already mentioned, we established a Fund position in media and entertainment company Walt Disney & Co. As the outlook for U.S. economic growth improved for many following the U.S. elections, we were positive on the ability of the company to capitalize on the potential opportunities, especially in their theme park revenue. We also felt some of the perceived risks surrounding its ESPN business were overstated. In our view, Disney has a strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and earnings growth and remains committed to buying back shares. We are positive on the company moving forward and on its potential for sustained growth. |
| | We initiated a Fund position in Northern Trust, an international financial services firm. Northern Trust is a company we had previously owned in our portfolios for its high quality fundamentals, including a solid balance sheet |
47
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| and cash position. We believe Northern Trust is well positioned to benefit from interest rate hikes and significant organic growth opportunities within the custody and fund administration business. We are additionally positive on the company’s wealth management segment given its mix of both active and passive strategies. The company’s management has stated it expects to reinvest its earnings into the business while targeting a meaningful return on equity, which could benefit shareholders. Northern Trust also has a high payout ratio and is well capitalized, in our view. Finally, we believe Northern Trust may further benefit from potentially lower corporate tax rates. With what we consider to be an experienced management and a high quality franchise, we are optimistic on Northern Trust’s growth prospects. |
| | The two biggest sales by the Fund during the Reporting Period were those of Abbott Laboratories and McKesson, each mentioned earlier. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to consumer discretionary and financials increased and its allocations to health care, information technology and real estate decreased relative to the Russell Index. The Fund’s position in cash also decreased during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the Russell Index in the financials and energy sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in health care and materials. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, consumer staples, information technology, industrials and real estate and had no positions at all in utilities and telecommunication services at the end of the Reporting Period. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATION6 |
As of February 28, 2017 |

| 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 February 28, 2017.

Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) in equity investments in technology companies. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 30-40 companies that are considered by the Investment Adviser to benefit from the proliferation of technology. Although the Fund invests primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its total assets measured at the time of purchase in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in privately held companies and companies that only recently began to trade publicly.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Growth Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.83%, 9.39%, 10.01%, 9.71% and 9.92%, respectively. These returns compare to the 13.09% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P North American Technology Sector Index (the “S&P Technology Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated positive absolute returns, but stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the S&P Technology Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted, albeit more modestly. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | As both the Fund and the S&P Technology Index have the majority of their respective assets allocated to the information technology sector, broad equity market sector performance generally does not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. That said, detracting most from the Fund’s relative results was weak stock selection in information technology and having exposure to the real estate and financials sectors, which are not components of the S&P Technology Index but which lagged the S&P Technology Index during the Reporting Period. Having exposure to the telecommunication services sector, which is not a component of the S&P Technology Index but which outperformed the S&P Technology Index during the Reporting Period, buoyed the Fund’s relative results most. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the S&P Technology Index were positions in wireless communications and broadcast tower real estate investment trust American Tower, wireless communication towers operator SBA Communications and social networking, user review and local search website operator Yelp. |
| | American Tower was the top detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. In our view, there were no company-specific drivers of its weakness. Early in the Reporting Period, the company’s shares declined, as the rapid rise in interest rates following the U.S. elections was seen as a negative for the company. American Tower’s stock rallied late in the Reporting Period as the company reported encouraging results and as demand for mobile data increased. Despite its shares’ decline for the Reporting Period overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed American Tower may benefit going forward from secular trends toward growing data usage, taking advantage of its dominant market share, global expansion and additional investment opportunities to fuel long-term growth. With recurring revenue streams and strong organic leasing growth, at what we consider to be an attractive |

| valuation relative to its peers, we believe American Tower is a high quality and durable growth company. |
| | Similarly, in our view, there were no company-specific drivers of SBA Communications’ share price weakness. Early in the Reporting Period, the company’s shares declined, as the rapid rise in interest rates following the U.S. elections was seen as a negative for the company. Its shares rallied late in the Reporting Period, as the company reported encouraging results and as demand for mobile data increased. Despite the near-term weakness, we remained positive at the end of the Reporting Period on its long-term prospects. In our view, SBA Communications should benefit from secular trends toward growing data usage and is well positioned for growth as it penetrates new markets. |
| | Shares of Yelp, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, declined after the company reported mixed fourth quarter 2016 earnings with guidance below market expectations. The company also announced that its sales force had decreased during the Reporting Period, which investors viewed negatively. Despite its share price decline, at the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed Yelp favorably, as the company continues to transition its business to become more transactional, supported by the launch of its Request a Quote product, which we believe has strong potential upside. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among those stocks the Fund benefited most from relative to the S&P Technology Index were positions in integrated communications services provider Level 3 Communications, cloud-based services provider ServiceNow and semiconductor company NXP Semiconductors. |
| | During the Reporting Period, Level 3 Communications announced it had accepted an acquisition offer from CenturyLink, a communication services provider. Following the news, the stock’s price rose, and we decided to exit the Fund’s position in the company. |
| | ServiceNow provides cloud-based services to automate enterprise information technology operators. During the Reporting Period, the company reported positive third and fourth quarter 2016 results, with revenues and earnings ahead of market estimates. Such results were driven by a number of large deals, increasing add-on sales and growing success in the company’s new Inspire program, which helps organizations improve their platforms. The company also gave positive guidance that beat market expectations across its key metrics. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe ServiceNow is a high quality growth business in the software space and that the company may well generate shareholder value through its product pipeline and acquisition synergies. |
| Shares of NXP Semiconductors gained sharply early in the Reporting Period following the announcement by Qualcomm that it would acquire NXP Semiconductors. Our thesis was that the company was a high quality franchise with a diverse opportunity set, differentiated product lineup and effective management team. We believed these factors positioned the company well for long-term growth. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to those purchases already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Global Payments, a provider of payment technology services. In January 2017, the company reported fiscal first quarter results that slightly beat market expectations. The highlights of its earnings were good operating margins, particularly in the U.S., and accelerating organic revenue growth. In our view, there are multiple levers the company can utilize to deliver earnings growth — cost synergies and pricing opportunities at Heartland, which the company acquired, and capital allocation via joint ventures and share repurchases. We sought to take advantage of the pullback in technology stocks to invest in what we believe is a high quality growth company at an attractive valuation. |
| | We added Total System Services to the Fund’s portfolio during the Reporting Period. Total System Services provides electronic payment processing services to banks and other financial institutions. When we initiated a Fund position in the company, we viewed it as a high quality payments franchise that was trading at a depressed valuation due to several short-term headwinds. The company performed well during the Reporting Period, and we remained positive on its outlook at the end of the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in LinkedIn. In early June 2016, Microsoft announced its acquisition of LinkedIn. We were encouraged to have our view validated through this news, as we previously held conviction in LinkedIn’s unique business offering, competitive position and long-term growth potential. We sold the position accordingly and allocated the capital to other high conviction ideas. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to information technology increased and its exposure to consumer discretionary decreased relative to the S&P Technology Index. The Fund’s position in cash also decreased during the Reporting Period, and its exposure to telecommunication services decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund’s was underweighted relative to the S&P Technology Index in the information technology sector and was rather neutrally weighted to the S&P Technology Index in the consumer discretionary sector, the only other component of the S&P Technology Index. On the same date, the Fund had exposure to the financials and real estate sectors. The Fund had no exposure to the telecommunication services sector at the end of the Reporting Period. |

| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |

| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns 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 and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Fund | | Share Classes Offered | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Capital Growth, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth and Strategic Growth | | A, C, Institutional, Service, IR, R and R6 | | Diversified |
Concentrated Growth and Focused Growth | | A, C, Institutional, IR, R and R6 | | Non-diversified |
Dynamic U.S. Equity and Flexible Cap Growth | | A, C, Institutional, IR, R and R6 | | Diversified |
Technology Opportunities | | A, C, Institutional, Service and IR | | Diversified |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
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, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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.
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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of certain Funds, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to a Fund as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Statements of Operations.
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
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 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 are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Short Term Investments — Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. Prior to October 11, 2016, such securities were valued at amortized cost. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

The Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities 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 Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Capital Growth, Flexible Cap Growth, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Strategic Growth, and Technology Opportunities Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Trust. Prior to September 30, 2016, the cash collateral had been invested in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund. The Government 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 Government Money Market Fund.
In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may 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 BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds’ loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral is at least equal to the value of the cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight

and continuous agreements collateralized by common stocks which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 28, 2017 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Both the Capital Growth, Flexible Cap Growth, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Strategic Growth, and Technology Opportunities Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds’ for the six months ended February 28, 2017, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of February 28, 2017, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Growth | | | Concentrated Growth | | | Dynamic U.S. Equity | | | Flexible Cap Growth | | | Focused Growth | | | Growth Opportunities | | | Small/Mid Cap Growth | | | Strategic Growth | | | Technology Opportunities | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 581,068,496 | | | $ | 90,594,730 | | | $ | 5,482,461 | | | $ | 11,956,637 | | | $ | 13,109,713 | | | $ | 2,295,883,256 | | | $ | 1,826,990,481 | | | $ | 223,041,401 | | | $ | 226,468,338 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 291,763,736 | | | | 40,304,675 | | | | 1,943,783 | | | | 5,266,715 | | | | 3,839,338 | | | | 634,968,587 | | | | 429,522,387 | | | | 113,366,005 | | | | 176,402,536 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (8,303,790 | ) | | | (1,319,054 | ) | | | (185,238 | ) | | | (136,546 | ) | | | (284,149 | ) | | | (47,866,730 | ) | | | (28,800,654 | ) | | | (2,561,596 | ) | | | (1,760,537 | ) |
Net unrealized security gain | | $ | 283,459,946 | | | $ | 38,985,621 | | | $ | 1,758,545 | | | $ | 5,130,169 | | | $ | 3,555,189 | | | $ | 587,101,857 | | | $ | 400,721,733 | | | $ | 110,804,409 | | | $ | 174,641,999 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, and partnership investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Industry Concentration Risk — The Technology Opportunities Fund invests primarily in equity investments in high-quality technology, media, or service companies that adopt or use technology to improve their cost structure, revenue opportunities or competitive advantage. Because of its focus on technology, media and service companies, the Technology Opportunities Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. The Technology Opportunities Fund may also invest in a relatively few number of issuers. Thus, the Technology Opportunities Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund.
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 a 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 the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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.
Non-Diversification Risk — The Concentrated Growth and Focused Growth Funds are non-diversified, meaning that are permitted to invest a larger percentage of their assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, a Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
At a meeting held on April 19, 2017, the Trustees approved a reorganization pursuant to which the Goldman Sachs Focused Growth Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) will be reorganized with and into the Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund (the “Surviving Fund”). Effective on or about July 2017 (the “Closing Date”), shareholders of the Acquired Fund will own shares in the Surviving Fund equal in dollar value to their interest in the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date. As part of the reorganization, holders of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Acquired Fund, respectively, will receive Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Survivor Fund. The reorganization is intended to be a tax-free reorganization for Federal income tax purposes.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R and 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/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service 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 September 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense 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 FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Value Investment Process?
Goldman Sachs’ Fundamental Equity Value Team believes that all successful investing should thoughtfully weigh two important attributes of a stock: price and prospects. Through independent fundamental research, the Team seeks to identify and invest in quality businesses that are selling at compelling valuations.


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

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

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

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

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Value Funds
Market Review
Overall, U.S. equities rallied during the six months ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”), despite unexpected political events both domestically and abroad and a Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hike. The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a gain of 10.01%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 10.29%.
As the Reporting Period began in early September 2016, U.S. and international equities alike fell as the European Central Bank disappointed markets with its lack of commitment to extend quantitative easing. However, there was a subsequent rebound following the Fed’s decision in September 2016 to leave interest rates unchanged. In October 2016, a combination of hawkish Fed commentary and mounting strong U.S. economic data led to increased market pricing for a December 2016 interest rate hike (Hawkish language or action tends to suggest higher interest rates (opposite of dovish)). U.S. GDP increased by 3.5% on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2016, above consensus expectations and the strongest growth rate in two years. Following the unexpected victory of Donald Trump in the November 2016 U.S. presidential elections, U.S. equities quickly reversed a short-lived sell-off and surged on anticipation of a pro-growth effect of Mr. Trump’s fiscal stimulus plan. The Fed raised rates 0.25% in December 2016, for the first time in a year but as had largely been anticipated, and set a more hawkish hike path for 2017, causing equities to decline, albeit modestly, following the announcement.
U.S. equities rallied significantly in the first two months of 2017. In January 2017, markets searched for details on timing and scope behind President Trump’s campaign proclamations but rallied to new highs on the prospect of deregulation following executive orders on oil pipelines and on optimism around infrastructure spending after a $1 trillion proposal from Senate Democrats made headlines. However, U.S. equities subsequently retreated on political uncertainty and protectionism concerns following executive orders on immigration, a border wall and U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, popularly known as TPP. Amid a busy political agenda, U.S. economic data released in January 2017 remained encouraging. Consumer sentiment set a 13-year high in the month, and non-manufacturing data remained consistent with growth in service-providing industries. Industrial production in December 2016 had recorded its biggest increase in two years, and the Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing index also unexpectedly rose to a two-year high. Consumer prices rose in December 2016, marking a fifth straight monthly gain and signaling to many modest inflationary pressures.
In February 2017, investors continued to assess the outlook for potential tax reform, deregulation and other economic policies out of the new administration, while also heeding the tone of Fed officials. The U.S. dollar strengthened on the month, as the market-implied probability of a March 2017 interest rate hike increased with Fed Chair Yellen’s testimony before Congress and hawkish comments from other Fed officials. Economic data released during the month remained robust. U.S. non-farm payrolls for January 2017 were well above market expectations at 227,000, with particular strength in the construction industry. The Institute of Supply Management’s manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices rose to a two-year and six-year high in February 2017, respectively; U.S. consumer confidence reached a 15-year high in February 2017; and the core personal consumption expenditure index increased 1.7% year over year in January 2017, while personal spending increased a modest 0.2% month over month.
For the Reporting Period overall, financials, information technology and industrials were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index by a wide margin. The weakest performing

MARKET REVIEW
sector in the S&P 500 Index was real estate, the only one to post a negative absolute return, followed by consumer staples, health care and energy, which were comparatively weak but generated positive returns during the Reporting Period.
Within the U.S. equity market, all capitalization segments posted positive returns, but small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, performed best, followed by large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, and then mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index. From a style perspective, value-oriented stocks significantly outpaced growth-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the Russell Investments indices.)
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we saw an increasingly positive backdrop for the U.S. equity markets, as the U.S. transitions to what many believe will be a pro-growth political environment. In our view, if realized, most companies should benefit from aggressive fiscal policy, including lower taxes and increased spending, and a less restrictive regulatory environment. In the near term, however, we think uncertainty around policy specifics and timing could increase volatility. While our aggregate return expectations are lower than in recent years given what we consider to be relatively full valuations, we believe U.S. equities still look more attractive than most other asset classes. Accordingly, we favor high quality, domestically-oriented companies with what we feel are strong management teams. Additionally, after several years of thematic-driven markets, we are excited about the prospect of increasing dispersion at the stock level. We believe an active approach is poised to benefit in this type of environment, as companies differentiate themselves on earnings growth and valuation.
Regardless of market direction, our fundamental, bottom-up stock selection continues to drive our process, rather than headlines or sentiment. We maintain high conviction in the companies the Funds own and believe they have the potential to outperform relative to the broader market regardless of economic growth conditions. We continue to focus on undervalued companies that we believe have comparatively greater control of their own destiny, such as innovators with differentiated products, companies with low cost structures or companies that have been investing in their own businesses and may be poised to gain market share. We maintain our discipline in identifying companies with what we believe to be strong or improving balance sheets, led by quality management teams and trading at discounted valuations. We remain focused on the long-term performance of the Funds.
As always, deep research resources, a forward-looking investment process and truly actively managed portfolios are keys, in our view, to both preserving capital and outperforming the market over the long term.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) in a non-diversified portfolio of equity investments, including common stocks, preferred stocks and other securities and instruments having equity characteristics. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 20-35 companies that are considered value opportunities, which the Investment Adviser defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any capitalization. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies (“emerging countries”) and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 10.76%, 10.39%, 10.93%, 10.89%, 10.53% and 10.95%, respectively. These returns compare to the 11.07% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund produced robust absolute gains, but sector allocation overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection as a whole contributed positively to the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The sectors that most meaningfully detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were industrials, energy and telecommunication services, wherein stock selection was challenged. Having a position in cash during the Reporting Period when the Russell Index rallied also dampened relative results. Stock selection was most effective in financials and consumer discretionary, which helped the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index. Having no exposure to the real estate sector, which significantly lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also contributed positively. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in oil and gas exploration and production company Southwestern Energy, wireless telecommunications provider Verizon Communications and diversified energy company FirstEnergy. |
| The stock price of Southwestern Energy came under pressure during the Reporting Period largely due to weak natural gas prices. Additionally, investors felt there was a lack of transparency in future guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see upside potential for Southwestern Energy given what we view as the company’s high quality assets, specifically in the Marcellus, Fayetteville and Utica shales. We also remained encouraged by its management team’s focus on cutting costs and divesting assets as it seeks to maintain an appropriate level of debt and by its commitment to capital efficiency amidst a challenging macro environment. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Shares of Verizon Communications fell during the second half of 2016 as a sentiment shift occurred with respect to the prospects of higher interest rates in the U.S. following strong jobs data and hawkish commentary from some Federal Reserve (“Fed”) members. As the probability of an interest rate hike increased, equities with high dividend yields, such as Verizon Communications, came under pressure. Further, in January 2017, Verizon Communications reported weaker than market expected fourth quarter 2016 results and 2017 guidance amid increasing industry competition. We had originally initiated a position in the company believing its management would protect the profits of its installed base of subscribers, even in the face of an intensifying competitive environment. Although we continue to believe Verizon Communications has some of the highest quality assets in the industry, we became concerned about its management’s deviation in strategy to more aggressively pursue subscription growth at the expense of margin, and so we exited the Fund’s position. |
| Shares of FirstEnergy came under pressure during the Reporting Period due to uncertainty about the timeline and costs of the exit of the company’s competitive generation business. We believe its stock price was implying all of the debt from the generation business would be absorbed by the parent company. However, we do not expect this scenario to materialize and believe the stock was being unfairly punished. That said, we eliminated the Fund’s position in FirstEnergy in favor of higher conviction ideas. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in global financial services company Bank of America, investment banking products and services provider Morgan Stanley and online travel company Expedia. |
| Financial companies broadly rose following the U.S. presidential election as investor sentiment around the sector, and banks in particular, improved. Sentiment improved as investors anticipated both a more attractive regulatory environment and increases in interest rates. |
| Additionally, on a more company-specific level, the stock price of Bank of America strengthened after the company reported revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus expectations, largely due to improved trading and investment banking growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed shares of Bank of America remained attractively valued given rising U.S. interest rates and an improving U.S. economy. In our view, its management is committed to bettering execution, growing margins and returning capital to shareholders. |
| In our view, Morgan Stanley has been emerging from a space of significant change in its business mix, a restructuring of its expense base and an improvement in its capital levels. In addition, we believe we have seen increased capital returns because of the company’s high capital levels and earnings generation. Most of Morgan Stanley’s stock price increase during the Reporting Period came following the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. The company also reported a solid third calendar quarter, driven by better capital markets activity, improved wealth management margins and controlled expenses. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the company’s management team and its future prospects. |
| Shares of Expedia rose after strong data points were released indicating accelerating room night growth and constructive developments in HomeAway, its acquired vacation rental site. We remained confident in its management’s ability to execute on self-help initiatives, but strict to our sell discipline, we exited the position as the stock reached our risk-adjusted price target. (Room night is defined in the travel industry as one hotel room occupied for one night; a statistical unit of occupancy.) |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in Viacom, a global entertainment company, at what we viewed as an attractive valuation relative to its peers. We are constructive on the entry of a new Chief Executive Officer and on the change in management. We are also confident in its new management’s ability to execute on self-help initiatives and refocus on the company’s core networks. We have seen strong initial signs of a turnaround in core network viewership. Improvement in its cash flow profile should, we believe, allow the company to pay down debt and return capital to shareholders. |
| We established a Fund position in Oracle, a software provider for enterprise information management. In our view, the company is well positioned to deliver on its long-term strategic goals. We are positive on the company’s high margin cloud business and believe successful migration of its customer base from on premises to cloud computing |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| platforms should result in a more favorable business mix. Additionally, the company was trading at the time of purchase at a significant discount relative to its peers and at what we believe were attractive levels. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in information technology giant Apple. We had originally entered the position at what we viewed as an attractive valuation relative to its peers. We believed there was significant opportunity in the upcoming product cycle within the company’s installed user base. Its shares rose after sales for the iPhone 7 exceeded market expectations. We therefore sold the position after the stock achieved our risk-adjusted price target. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in health care, consumer discretionary, industrials, energy and consumer staples increased. The Fund also established an allocation to materials during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s exposure to the information technology and financials sectors decreased compared to the Russell Index. The Fund completely eliminated its exposure to the telecommunication services and utilities sectors and decreased its position in cash during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund was overweighted in consumer discretionary, health care and information technology relative to the Russell Index. On the same date, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in financials, industrials, energy, consumer staples and materials. The Fund had no allocation to telecommunication services, utilities and real estate at the end of February 2017. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund
Portfolio Composition
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets measured at the time of purchase (“Total Assets”) in equity investments that the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team considers to have favorable prospects for capital appreciation and/or dividend-paying ability. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, including preferred and convertible securities, master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), it may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its Total Assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations, that offer the potential to further the Fund’s investment objective of long-term capital appreciation and growth of income.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 10.78%, 10.37%, 11.02%, 10.75%, 10.92%, 10.66% and 11.02%, respectively. These returns compare to the 11.07% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted solid absolute gains and both stock selection and sector allocation overall contributed positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. However, after fees, the Fund modestly underperformed the Russell Index on a relative basis. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Effective stock selection and positioning in the financials, real estate and energy sectors helped the Fund’s relative results most. The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were industrials, telecommunication services and consumer discretionary, wherein stock selection proved challenging. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in Bank of America, Lincoln National and Morgan Stanley, each of the financials sector, which broadly rose following the U.S. presidential election as investor sentiment around the sector improved, particularly with respect to banks. Sentiment improved as investors anticipated both a more attractive regulatory environment and increases in interest rates. |
| | Additionally, on a more company-specific level, the stock price of Bank of America strengthened after the company reported revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus expectations, largely due to improved trading and investment banking growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed shares of Bank of America remained attractively valued given rising U.S. interest rates and an improving U.S. economy. In our view, its management is committed to bettering execution, growing margins and returning capital to shareholders. |
| | We opportunistically initiated a position in Lincoln National following downward pressures it faced from the U.K. referendum outcome, popularly known as Brexit. In addition to its shares rising following the U.S. presidential election, its share price strengthened after the company reported strong third calendar quarter earnings that exceeded market expectations. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained a constructive view on Lincoln National’s |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| strategy to shift sales to lower risk products and on what we consider to be its strong risk management practices, which we believe may well result in continued market confidence in its return on equity sustainability. Despite its recent strong performance, we also remained positive at the end of the Reporting Period on the company’s risk/reward profile due to its management’s execution and the likelihood of rising interest rates. |
| | In our view, Morgan Stanley has been emerging from a space of significant change in its business mix, a restructuring of its expense base and an improvement in its capital levels. In addition, we believe we have seen increased capital returns because of the company’s high capital levels and earnings generation. Most of Morgan Stanley’s stock price increase during the Reporting Period came following the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. The company also reported a solid third calendar quarter, driven by better capital markets activity, improved wealth management margins and controlled expenses. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the company’s management team and its future prospects. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in telecommunications provider Verizon Communications, pharmaceuticals company Pfizer and industrial conglomerate General Electric. |
| | Shares of Verizon Communications fell during the second half of 2016 as a sentiment shift occurred with respect to the prospects of higher interest rates in the U.S. following strong jobs data and hawkish commentary from some Federal Reserve (“Fed”) members. (Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) As the probability of an interest rate hike increased, equities with high dividend yields, such as Verizon Communications, came under pressure. Further, in January 2017, Verizon Communications reported weaker than expected fourth quarter 2016 results and 2017 guidance amid increasing industry competition. Despite this underperformance, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Verizon Communications has some of the highest quality assets in the industry and can modestly grow should the company continue to invest in and focus on its strong wireless business and other areas poised for growth, including digital advertising, “Internet of Things” (“IoT”) and fifth generation (5G) products. In our view, the company remains a strong franchise with a stable operating business model and an improving free cash flow profile. (The IoT is the inter-networking of physical devices, connected or smart devices, buildings and other items — embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.) |
| | Pfizer’s stock came under pressure after its management announced that, despite much speculation, it would not split into two companies. Some investors believed its stock price was accounting for the potential increase in profits as a result of a split. Additionally, investors began to raise concerns about increased competition, pricing pressure and drug pipeline uncertainty. In our view, the company’s pipeline was undervalued at the end of the Reporting Period, and we expected its management to continue to highlight its value through clinical success. We also believe Pfizer has a strong balance sheet, which may provide the company with the financial flexibility to invest for growth and return capital to shareholders. |
| | Shares of General Electric were pressured after the company reported several consecutive quarters of weaker industrial revenues, predominantly driven by its power and transport business as well as by oil and gas headwinds. Despite its recent weaker performance, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed General Electric remained a high quality franchise with dominant market position. In our view, the company has made great progress in divesting its non-core assets and in re-focusing on its core industrial roots. Furthermore, the business generates high free cash flow with an under-levered balance sheet. However, in light of its recent challenges, we reduced the Fund’s position in General Electric. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in AvalonBay Communities, an owner of high-end apartments in coastal markets, such as New York City, Washington D.C. and California. We believe AvalonBay Communities has a well diversified portfolio of high quality properties located in both urban and suburban areas. We are also positive on AvalonBay Communities’ well-funded pipeline, which we |
11
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| believe could lead to strong future earnings. In addition, in our view, the company has a solid balance sheet, a well-covered dividend and a long history of good capital allocation. |
| | We established a Fund position in Invesco, a global investment management firm. We are positive on the active management component of the business and see further upside potential given the possibility of a more favorable regulatory environment. Invesco has an attractive relative valuation and strong balance sheet, in our view, which leads us to believe its stock could continue to perform well. Additionally, we have confidence in its management team given its strong performance track record. |
| | Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in Williams- Sonoma, a home furnishing specialty retailer. The company faced increasingly strong headwinds from new online competition along with a sluggish retail environment. Additionally, in August 2016, Williams-Sonoma cut its full- year guidance due to weakening sales trends. Finally, big ticket purchases slowed at Williams-Sonoma’s Pottery Barn brand for the first time since 2008, which we believe may well be a negative indicator for the higher ticket discretionary purchases in the industry more broadly. In light of these headwinds, we sold the Fund’s position in Williams-Sonoma in favor of higher conviction opportunities. |
| | We eliminated the Fund’s position in Comcast, a broadband cable and media company. Its stock price significantly increased during the Reporting Period, particularly following the U.S. presidential election. We believe Comcast is a high quality company that provides on-demand content, innovates well and has outperformed despite cord-cutting trends. (Cord-cutting is the practice of canceling or forgoing a cable television subscription or landline telephone connection in favor of an alternative Internet-based or wireless service.) We are especially constructive on the company’s business model, which emphasizes diversification across content and distribution channels. However, as our investment thesis was realized and as shares approached our price target, we exited the position in favor of stocks having what we considered to be better risk-adjusted return potential. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, financials and industrials increased. The Fund’s exposure to consumer discretionary, telecommunication services and utilities decreased compared to the Russell Index as did its position in cash. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the consumer staples, financials and information technology sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in real estate and energy and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, health care, industrials, materials, telecommunication services and utilities. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 1000® Value Index at the time of investment. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in foreign securities, including securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its Net Assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.93%, 9.49%, 10.10%, 9.82%, 10.02%, 9.76% and 10.13%, respectively. These returns compare to the 11.07% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated solid absolute gains, but stock selection and sector allocation overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index were industrials, energy and consumer discretionary, wherein stock selection was comparatively weak. Having an allocation to cash during a Reporting Period when the Russell Index rallied further dampened the Fund’s relative results. Effective stock selection in the financials and real estate sectors and having underweighted allocations to the real estate and consumer staples sectors, each of which lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, contributed positively. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in oil and gas exploration and production companies Southwestern Energy and Range Resources and in wireless telecommunications provider Verizon Communications. |
| | The stock price of Southwestern Energy came under pressure during the Reporting Period largely due to weak natural gas prices. Additionally, investors felt there was a lack of transparency in future guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see upside potential for Southwestern Energy given what we view as the company’s high quality assets, specifically in the Marcellus, Fayetteville and Utica shales. We also remained encouraged by its management team’s focus on cutting costs and divesting assets as it seeks to maintain an appropriate level of debt and by its commitment to capital efficiency amidst a challenging macro environment. |
| | Weak natural gas prices were the primary driver behind weakness in the stock of Range Resources. There were also investor concerns about the potential effect of long-term |
16
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| increases in oil production. At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed Range Resources positively given what we consider to be its high quality assets, particularly in the Marcellus Basin. We also remained constructive on Range Resource’s management team and believed the company’s low cost of production relative to its peers left room for substantial organic growth potential. |
| | Shares of Verizon Communications fell during the second half of 2016 as a sentiment shift occurred with respect to the prospects of higher interest rates in the U.S. following strong jobs data and hawkish commentary from some Federal Reserve (“Fed”) members. (Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) As the probability of an interest rate hike increased, equities with high dividend yields, such as Verizon Communications, came under pressure. Further, in January 2017, Verizon Communications reported weaker than expected fourth quarter 2016 results and 2017 guidance amid increasing industry competition. Despite this underperformance, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Verizon Communications has some of the highest quality assets in the industry and can modestly grow should the company continue to invest in and focus on its strong wireless business and other areas poised for growth, including digital advertising, “Internet of Things” (“IoT”) and fifth generation (5G) products. In our view, the company remains a strong franchise with a stable operating business model and an improving free cash flow profile. (The IoT is the inter-networking of physical devices, connected or smart devices, buildings and other items — embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.) |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in Bank of America, Lincoln National and Morgan Stanley, each of the financials sector, which broadly rose following the U.S. presidential election as investor sentiment around the sector improved, particularly with respect to banks. Sentiment improved as investors anticipated both a more attractive regulatory environment and increases in interest rates. |
| Additionally, on a more company-specific level, the stock price of Bank of America strengthened after the company reported revenue and earnings that exceeded consensus expectations, largely due to improved trading and investment banking growth. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed shares of Bank of America remained attractively valued given rising U.S. interest rates and an improving U.S. economy. In our view, its management is committed to bettering execution, growing margins and returning capital to shareholders. |
| We opportunistically initiated a position in Lincoln National following downward pressures it faced from the U.K. referendum outcome, popularly known as Brexit. In addition to its shares rising following the U.S. presidential election, its share price strengthened after the company reported strong third calendar quarter earnings that exceeded market expectations. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained a constructive view on Lincoln National’s strategy to shift sales to lower risk products and on what we consider to be its strong risk management practices, which we believe may well result in continued market confidence in its return on equity sustainability. Despite its recent strong performance, we also remained positive at the end of the Reporting Period on the company’s risk/reward profile due to its management’s execution and the likelihood of rising interest rates. |
| In our view, Morgan Stanley has been emerging from a space of significant change in its business mix, a restructuring of its expense base and an improvement in its capital levels. In addition, we believe we have seen increased capital returns because of the company’s high capital levels and earnings generation. Most of Morgan Stanley’s stock price increase during the Reporting Period came following the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. The company also reported a solid third calendar quarter, driven by better capital markets activity, improved wealth management margins and controlled expenses. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our conviction in the company’s management team and its future prospects. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We established a Fund position in Altria Group, a tobacco company. We are constructive on strong industry fundamentals and view the availability of Altria’s iQOS |
17
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| product, a new type of electronic smokeless cigarette, as a strong catalyst. We expect iQOS to receive Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for sale in the U.S. this year and believe the product’s purported healthier approach to tobacco usage could grant it significant domestic market share. The product has already seen success in international markets where it has received approval. |
| We initiated a Fund position in Invesco, a global investment management firm. We are positive on the active management component of the business and see further upside potential given the improved investor sentiment for a more favorable regulatory environment. Invesco has what we consider to be a strong relative valuation and balance sheet, which leads us to believe its stock may continue to perform well. Additionally, we have confidence in its management team given its strong performance track record. |
| Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in Procter & Gamble. Its shares rose sharply after activist investor Trian took a significant stake in the company. We are unclear as to what the activist investor plans to accomplish but do not expect a break-up of the company to unlock significant value. |
| We sold the Fund’s position in United Technologies, an industrial conglomerate. We originally initiated a position in the company due to our view that its shares were undervalued given future growth and margin expansion opportunities for the company. Additionally, we were constructive on its new management team and its focus on cost cutting efforts, divestitures and share repurchases. As our investment thesis was realized and as its shares approached our price target, we exited the position in favor of opportunities that we believed to have better risk-adjusted return potential. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in industrials and consumer discretionary increased. The Fund’s exposure to information technology, financials, utilities and telecommunication services decreased compared to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the health care, consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in utilities, telecommunication services and real estate, and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in financials, materials, energy and consumer staples |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its Net Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its Net Assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.49%, 9.11%, 9.75%, 9.48%, 9.65%, 9.40% and 9.73%, respectively. These returns compare to the 10.76% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted solid positive absolute returns, but sector allocation overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection as a whole also detracted, albeit more modestly, from the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting from the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index was stock selection in industrials, consumer discretionary, energy and real estate. Stock selection and having an overweighted allocation to health care, which lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Having a position in cash during a Reporting Period when the Russell Index rallied further dampened relative results. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in the financials, materials, telecommunication services and information technology sectors, which contributed positively. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in Brixmor Property Group, DDR and L Brands. |
| | Brixmor Property Group, an owner of grocery-anchored community shopping centers, was the top detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. We believe its underperformance of the Russell Index was largely due to investor concerns about disappointing retail industry sales and the potential impact on Brixmor Property Group’s tenants. In our view, these fears were overblown, especially given the company’s base in what we consider to be high quality grocery-anchored shopping centers. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Brixmor Property Group’s long-term growth potential as well as the company’s portfolio of assets, since we believe fundamentals in the industry remained healthy. For example, supply, relative to historical levels, was low, and demand remained strong. Finally, we were encouraged by its management’s focus on high return redevelopment projects and improving the company’s balance sheet. |
22
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | DDR, an owner of shopping centers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, was also a significant detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. While the broader real estate sector declined during the Reporting Period, we believe DDR’s underperformance of the Russell Index was exacerbated by uncertainty relative to its new Chief Executive Officer and the outcome of strategic measures being taken by the company. Despite a challenging Reporting Period, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that shares of DDR were trading at a substantial discount relative to the company’s private market value. Additionally, we maintained confidence in DDR’s new leadership, as we believe they are highly motivated and focused on improving the business’ operational performance over the long term. |
| | Shares of L Brands, a global retailer that operates primarily through Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, declined during the Reporting Period. The majority of its underperformance relative to the Russell Index came after the company lowered its first fiscal quarter and fiscal year earnings guidance. Despite these headwinds, L Brands remains the category leader within the lingerie and personal care and beauty markets. Restructuring actions undertaken during the Reporting Period aimed at simplifying the Victoria’s Secret business resulted in increased uncertainty amongst investors around the core health of the franchise. However, we believe this was largely self-inflicted and not an indication of a structural breakdown in the business. While we remained constructive at the end of the Reporting Period on its management team’s ability to execute, we moderated the Fund’s position in L Brands in an effort to improve the portfolio’s risk/reward profile. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in SLM, Citizens Financial Group and Huntington Bancshares, each of the financials sector. |
| | SLM, a company that provides funding and servicing for student loans, commonly known as Sallie Mae, was the top positive contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. We had invested in SLM because we felt the company had strong and highly visible growth, a dominant position in a market with high barriers to entry and a new Chief Executive Officer with a track record of success at other companies. Despite solid performance at SLM, perceived political risk weighed heavily on the stock ahead of the U.S. presidential election. Its shares subsequently spiked following the election results, and sentiment continued to improve as investors anticipated a more attractive regulatory environment for SLM. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to see upside potential for the company and opportunities for future growth. |
| | Shares of Citizens Financial Group, a consumer and commercial banking company, rose sharply following the U.S. presidential election, as sentiment around the financials sector broadly, and regional banks in particular, improved. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on its management team’s commitment to creating shareholder value and improving the bank’s operational efficiency through its cost savings program. Additionally, in light of the U.S. presidential election results, we believe Citizens Financial Group could benefit from a less restrictive regulatory environment. |
| | Shares of Huntington Bancshares, a financial services company, similarly spiked following the U.S. presidential election results. Sentiment continued to improve in the last months of the Reporting Period as investors anticipated a more attractive regulatory environment and increases in interest rates. We believe the company has a solid management team that seems to be committed to doing what we consider to be the right things — i.e. setting up incentives that align with shareholders, committing to annual operating leverage regardless of interest rates, making prudent decisions for the long term and utilizing excess capital judiciously. In our view, we should see an efficiency improvement as revenues start to catch up with expenses following an investment phase by the company. Additionally, the company has been aggressive in getting ahead of regulation, which we believe could lead to a smaller revenue impact versus its peers when regulations are written. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in SunTrust Banks, a bank holding company based in Atlanta, Georgia. We are positive on what we consider to be SunTrust Banks’ attractive relative valuation and its broad footprint in the fast-growing southeastern U.S. We also are encouraged by its management’s execution on plans to improve its capital efficiency. |
23
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | We established a Fund position in Ameriprise Financial, a financial services company primarily focused on wealth management and retirement planning. We are constructive on Ameriprise Financial and see upside potential given the widespread improved sentiment for a more favorable regulatory environment. We also believe its management is likely to continue its strong track record of distributing capital to shareholders. |
| | Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in Pentair, a diversified industrial company. We were positive on Pentair’s plan to improve margins and operational efficiency. Additionally, in our view, the sale of its valves and controls business improved the company’s capital structure and resulted in a simpler business model with high quality construction and water businesses, areas we viewed as the most compelling for growth. Following the U.S. presidential election results, however, we became increasingly concerned that U.K.-based Pentair could be negatively affected by proposed changes to the U.S. tax code. We chose to transition the capital from the sale of Pentair to industrials companies with higher U.S. exposure. |
| | We exited the Fund’s position in Ingersoll-Rand, a diversified, global company that provides products and services to help improve air quality, transport food and increase industrial production. We had initiated this Fund position as we believed the company would benefit from an improving outlook for non-residential construction, potential share gains in residential construction, and proprietary investments in technology systems. As our investment thesis began to be realized, we sold the stock in favor of other names we believed to have greater upside potential. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in industrials increased. The Fund’s exposure to the health care and financials sectors decreased compared to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the industrials, energy and health care sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in utilities, real estate and telecommunication services and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in financials, consumer discretionary, information technology, consumer staples and materials. |

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 February 28, 2017.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of investment. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investment horizon for ownership of stocks will be two to three years. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its Net Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its Net Assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 12.93%, 12.51%, 13.16%, 12.88%, 13.09%, 12.80% and 13.19%, respectively. These returns compare to the 15.80% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated robust absolute gains, but stock selection overall detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole also detracted, albeit to a lesser degree, from the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was weak stock selection in the energy, materials and consumer staples sectors. Having a position in cash during a Reporting Period when the Russell Index rallied also hurt. Effective stock selection in the financials and utilities sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having no exposure to the telecommunication services sector, which significantly lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also buoyed the Fund’s relative results. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in natural gas-focused exploration and production company Rice Energy, food manufacturer TreeHouse Foods and health care real estate investment trust (“REIT”) Care Capital Properties. |
| | Rice Energy was the biggest detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Natural gas-exposed exploration and production companies underperformed the Russell Index following an agreement by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) to cut production in an effort to stabilize oil prices. In our view, energy investors subsequently reduced their exposure to natural gas-exposed stocks to gain exposure to oil-exposed companies instead. Additionally, investors appear to have held the belief that higher oil prices could lead to greater associated gas production from oil plays, driving down long-term natural gas prices. Despite these headwinds, at the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our positive view on the company given its prominent acreage in the Marcellus and Utica shales, which we believe has the potential to drive strong long-term results |
28
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| for the company. Additionally, Rice Energy is supported, in our view, by a management team committed to generating high returns. We believe the company’s growth opportunities were not fully reflected in its stock valuation at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| Shares of TreeHouse Foods declined after the company reported mixed second quarter 2016 earnings and announced the retirement of its Chief Financial Officer. We subsequently exited the Fund’s position in the company during the fourth quarter of 2016. We had originally initiated a Fund position in the stock given our view that the company would make operational improvements and that its acquisition of ConAgra’s private brands business could generate substantial synergies. However, the ConAgra deal has proven to be more difficult than we anticipated from an integration perspective. Further, in the event food inflation increases, it could be more difficult, in our opinion, for TreeHouse Foods to pass along cost increases to consumers relative to branded food peers. |
| Capital Care Properties is a health care REIT with a focus on skilled nursing facilities. Investors appeared to become concerned after its management disclosed in October 2016 that one of the company’s largest tenants was seeking rent relief. Its stock was further pressured during the fourth quarter of 2016 as investor expectations for interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) increased, which resulted in a sharp rise in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield. Despite these headwinds, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that Care Capital Properties has a superior portfolio of properties, supported by a high quality management team and a strong balance sheet. Additionally, we believe U.S. aging demographic trends could be a tailwind for the company going forward. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in electronic design company Mentor Graphics, property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company Endurance Specialty Holdings and commercial bank Webster Financial. |
| | Shares of Mentor Graphics rose sharply after its announcement that Siemens agreed to acquire the company at a premium. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017. We had originally initiated the Fund position in Mentor Graphics when the stock was trading at what we viewed as a discount following a challenging period for the company due to increased competition. We believed its performance would improve and future growth opportunities for the company were being underappreciated by the market. We also liked what we considered to be the company’s strong balance sheet. After the acquisition announcement, we sold the Fund’s position in Mentor Graphics. |
| | Endurance Specialty Holdings saw its stock price rise sharply after the company reached an agreement to sell itself to a Japanese insurer at a 43% premium relative to its previous closing price. We had originally initiated a position in Endurance Specialty Holdings based on our positive view of its management team’s turnaround strategy. In particular, we were constructive on its efforts to enhance the company’s earnings profile by shifting its mix toward the insurance segment. Additionally, we held a positive view on the company’s then-recently appointed Chief Executive Officer and the tenured team of insurance underwriters that he recruited to the company. Following the announcement of the acquisition, we exited the Fund’s position in Endurance Specialty Holdings and used the proceeds to add to names with what we viewed as more attractive risk-adjusted upside potential. |
| | Webster Financial reported strong third quarter 2016 earnings, driven by better than market expected loan growth and fee income. Its stock continued to rise following the U.S. presidential election, as investor expectations for better economic growth, regulatory relief and higher interest rates caused bank stocks, particularly those with a domestic focus, to outperform the broader U.S. equity market. In our view, Webster Financial is a well-managed company that is taking share in the northeast U.S., an attractive geographic market for banking fundamentals. Further, the company is one of the leading providers of health savings accounts, a large source of low-cost deposits that may, in our opinion, benefit its margins in a higher interest rate environment. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in Tech Data, a distribution company that specializes in microcomputer-related hardware and software. We are positive on the company’s recently appointed Chief Financial Officer, who, in our view, brings |
29
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| operational, capital allocation and cash flow discipline to the company. We are also constructive on Tech Data’s acquisition of Avnet, which we believe is underappreciated by investors. Additionally, we believe the stock’s valuation, at the time of purchase, was attractive relative to the small-cap information technology universe. Finally, in our view, the company is well positioned to benefit from potential improvements in small business confidence. |
| | We established a Fund position in Mid-America Apartment Communities, an owner and operator of apartments across the U.S.’ Sunbelt region. We are positive on the company’s geographical exposure and presence in suburban markets, which we view as less susceptible to the potential threat of new supply. Over the long term, we believe this dynamic may well allow for stronger pricing power and more stable rent growth. We further believe Mid-America Apartment Communities has a high quality management team with a strong track record of execution. |
| | Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in Intersil, a semiconductor manufacturer, as a result of an acquisition. At the time of the Fund’s purchase, we had believed Intersil was under-earning relative to its peers, which led to what we considered to be an attractive valuation. We were also constructive on the company’s plan to reallocate research and development spending to its higher margin businesses. Intersil was a long-term holding in the Fund, and we were encouraged by improving operating margins and successful new product launches as a result of its increased research and development investment. Its shares spiked after Renesas Electronic, a Japanese automotive chip manufacturer, announced the acquisition of Intersil at a significant premium, and so we sold the Fund’s shares in the company. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in industrials and consumer discretionary increased and its allocation compared to the Russell Index in information technology decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund was overweighted in industrials and materials and underweighted in financials and real estate relative to the Russell Index. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to information technology, consumer discretionary, energy, utilities, health care and consumer staples in the Russell Index at the end of February 2017, with the exception of telecommunication services to which the Fund had no exposure at all at the end of the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small- and mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell Midcap® Value Index, respectively, at the time of investment. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investment horizon for ownership of stocks will be two to three years. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), it may also invest in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries or economies and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its Net Assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Value Equity Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (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, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 12.20%, 11.76%, 12.33%, 12.23%, 11.96% and 12.33%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.73% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted solid positive absolute returns, but both stock selection and sector allocation overall detracted modestly from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were energy and industrials, wherein stock selection proved challenging. Having an allocation to cash during a period when the Russell Index rallied also hurt. Effective stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having no exposure to telecommunication services, which significantly lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also buoyed the Fund’s relative results. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in Brixmor Property Group, QEP Resources and Federal Realty Investment Trust. |
| | Brixmor Property Group, an owner of grocery-anchored community shopping centers, was the top detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. We believe its underperformance of the Russell Index was largely due to investor concerns about disappointing retail industry sales and the potential impact on Brixmor Property Group’s tenants. In our view, these fears were overblown, especially given the company’s base in what we consider to be high quality grocery-anchored shopping centers. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Brixmor Property Group’s long-term growth potential as well as the company’s portfolio of assets since we believe fundamentals in the industry remained healthy. For example, supply, relative to historical levels, was low, and demand remained strong. Finally, we were encouraged by its |
34
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| management’s focus on high return redevelopment projects and improving the company’s balance sheet. |
| We had originally initiated a Fund position in QEP Resources, an oil and natural gas exploration and production company, due to a strategic shift it made in capital allocation. Historically, QEP Resources was a natural gas-focused producer with a relatively high cost base in the Rockies. In more recent years, however, the company had pivoted capital to higher return assets with greater oil exposure in the Permian and Bakken shale plays, or areas of operation. Additionally, QEP Resources had acquired high quality acreage in the Permian Basin, which we believed would provide the company with greater inventory in some of the lowest cost shale in the U.S. We were positive on this strategic shift and believed that as investors came to fully appreciate the improved asset mix, shares of QEP Resources could trade meaningfully higher. However, during the Reporting Period, the company reported earnings that gave us concern regarding the execution of the transition. Its legacy assets underperformed investor expectations and have complicated the investment case around the transition to lower cost plays, as cash flow from its legacy assets will, in our view, have to fund growth in the new assets. We exited the Fund’s position in QEP Resources by the end of the Reporting Period. |
| Federal Realty Investment Trust, an owner of retail and mixed-use shopping centers, was another top detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The move in interest rates following the U.S. elections and heightened expectations for additional interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) pressured the company’s stock. At the end of the Reporting Period, it was our view that Federal Realty Investment Trust’s exposure to the nation’s top urban markets, including Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, could provide the company with pricing power and above-average rent growth going forward. In addition to what we consider to be a strong balance sheet, we believe the company’s development pipeline was being underappreciated by investors, and its management’s track record of building shareholder value could lead to meaningful upside in its stock. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Russell Index from positions in property and casualty insurance and reinsurance company Endurance Specialty Holdings, retail and commercial bank East West Bancorp and commercial bank Webster Financial. |
| | Endurance Specialty Holdings saw its stock price rise sharply after the company reached an agreement to sell itself to a Japanese insurer at a 43% premium relative to its previous closing price. We had originally initiated a position in Endurance Specialty Holdings based on our positive view of its management team’s turnaround strategy. In particular, we were constructive on its efforts to enhance the company’s earnings profile by shifting its mix toward the insurance segment. Additionally, we held a positive view on the company’s then-recently appointed Chief Executive Officer and the tenured team of insurance underwriters that he recruited to the company. Following the announcement of the acquisition, we exited the Fund’s position in Endurance Specialty Holdings and used the proceeds to add to names with what we viewed as more attractive risk-adjusted upside potential. |
| | Shares of East West Bancorp, headquartered in California, rose sharply following the U.S. presidential election as investor sentiment around the financials sector broadly, and regional banks in particular, improved. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe East West Bancorp was well positioned with diverse loan growth in some of the fastest growing areas of California, Texas and New York. We remained positive on its above-average loan growth, supported by what we considered to be its strong, shareholder-focused management team. |
| | Webster Financial reported strong third quarter 2016 earnings, driven by better than market expected loan growth and fee income. Its stock continued to rise following the U.S. presidential election, as investor expectations for better economic growth, regulatory relief and higher interest rates caused bank stocks, particularly those with a domestic focus, to outperform the broader U.S. equity market. In our view, Webster Financial is a well-managed company that is taking share in the northeast U.S., an attractive geographic market for banking fundamentals. Further, the company is one of the leading providers of health savings accounts, a large source of low-cost deposits that may, in our opinion, benefit its margins in a higher interest rate environment. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in Trinity Industries, a manufacturer of transportation and industrial products. We believe we are nearing a trough point in the rail car cycle, which was negatively affected by a slowdown in industrial production and energy prices. We believe strong economic growth, should it indeed materialize, may well lead to a pickup in rail car activity and utilization. In our view, early data points are encouraging — train speeds are slowing, implying more traffic; loads are increasing; and idle train cars are coming back online. The company has what we considered to be an under-levered balance sheet and a large leasing business, which could unlock value in a sale scenario. Also, the company is diversifying away from being a pure rail car manufacturer and into the barge and infrastructure businesses. |
| | We established a Fund position in TechnipFMC, a provider of technologies, systems and services for oil and gas projects. FMC was a market leader in subsea deepwater technologies and equipment. In 2016, it announced a merger with Technip, a leader in above-ground technologies and equipment for deepwater drilling. Combining the expertise of both businesses, TechnipFMC is able to complete projects with approximately 30% lower costs, which, in our view, offers a compelling value proposition to its clients. We believe there are potentially further deal synergies, which are still underappreciated by the market. Additionally, in our opinion, the company could return capital to shareholders and might well be beneficiaries of a lower corporate tax rate, should that materialize. Further, at the time of purchase, the stock was trading at a discount to its oil services peers. |
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of QEP Resources, already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in Post Properties, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that develops and operates multifamily apartment communities. Its stock was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the third quarter of 2016 after it was announced that Mid-America Apartment Communities was acquiring Post Properties in an all-stock deal valued at $17 billion. We are positive on this transaction given the opportunity for substantial operating synergies. Additionally, we believe the scale of the combined company may allow for stronger pricing power and more stable rent growth. We exited the Fund’s position in Post Properties when the deal closed in December 2016, though the Fund maintained high conviction in the combined company through its position in Mid-America Apartment Communities, an owner and operator of apartments across the Sunbelt region. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocation compared to the Russell Index in industrials increased and its allocation compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2017? |
A | | At the end of February 2017, the Fund was overweighted in the industrials and materials sectors relative to the Russell Index. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in real estate and consumer staples and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in the remaining sectors of the Russell Index. The Fund had no allocation to telecommunication services at the end of the Reporting Period. |

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

| | Class R6 | | | 17.38 | | | | 7.00 | | | 7/31/2015 |
| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns 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 R, and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site atwww.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
As of February 28, 2017 |

| 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 0.6% of the Fund’s net assets as of February 28, 2017. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Share Classes Offered | | | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Focused Value | | | | A, C, Institutional, IR, R and R6 | | | | Non-diversified |
Growth and Income, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value | | | | A, C, Institutional, Service, IR, R and R6 | | | | Diversified |
Small/Mid Cap Value | | | | A, C, Institutional, IR, R and R6 | | | | Diversified |

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, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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.
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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 |
Growth and Income | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Focused Value, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value | | | | Annually | | Annually |
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translations. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
F. Commission Recapture — GSAM, on behalf of certain Funds, may direct portfolio trades, subject to seeking best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to a Fund as cash payments and are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments on the Statements of Operations.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
77

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
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 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 are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. 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.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. 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. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Short Term Investments — Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. Prior to October 11, 2016, such securities were valued at amortized cost. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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.

This arrangement will remain in effect through at least December 29, 2017, and prior to such date, the Investment Advisor may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder 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 for Focused Value, Growth and Income, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds is 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2017, 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 six months ended February 28, 2017, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Transfer Agency Fee Waiver | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Expense Reductions | |

Small/Mid Cap Value | | | | | 12,265 | | | | — | | | | 152,989 | | | | 165,254 | |
G. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2017, the Funds participated in a $1,100,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 28, 2017 , Goldman Sachs earned $151,380, $118,049 and $393, in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds, respectively.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS
The Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities 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 Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
Effective December 31, 2016, the Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds began lending their securities and investing the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Trust. The Government 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 Government Money Market Fund.
In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, BNYM may 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 BNYM is unable to purchase replacement securities, BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash and/or U.S. Treasury securities collateral due to reinvestment risk. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 28, 2017 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Each of the Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Value Funds and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds’ for the six months ended February 28, 2017, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

As of February 28, 2017, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Focused Value | | | Growth and Income | | | Large Cap Value | | | Mid Cap Value | | | Small Cap Value | | | Small/Mid Cap Value | |

The difference between GAAP- basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable to wash sales, differences related to the tax treatment of partnerships, underlying fund investments and real estate investment trusts.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Foreign Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. 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 a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. 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 a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.
86
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a 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 the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain 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.
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.
Non-Diversification Risk — The Focused Value Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Sector Risk — To the extent a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Fund will be subject, to a greater extent than if its investments were diversified across different sectors, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that sector, such as: adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other developments.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’s 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.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R and 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/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service 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 September 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense 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 Global Tax-Aware Equity Portfolios

|
Investment Strategy |
|
The Portfolios invest in a strategic mix of Underlying Funds and other securities with the goal of achieving long-term growth of capital (both Portfolios) and current income (Goldman Sachs Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio only). Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the Portfolios’ total assets measured at the time of purchase will be allocated among the Underlying Funds that currently exist or that may become available for investment in the future for which Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“GSAM”) or an affiliate, now or in the future, acts as investment adviser or principal underwriter. Some of the Underlying Funds invest primarily in fixed income or money market instruments, and other Underlying Funds invest primarily in equity securities. The Portfolios may also invest directly in the Underlying Tactical Fund (as defined below) and other securities or instruments, including unaffiliated exchange-traded funds and derivatives, and can use these investments for implementing tactical tilts. Under normal circumstances, each of the Portfolios also has a small strategic allocation to U.S. investment grade corporate bonds, which is used to help fund the tactical tilts. |
Market Review
During the six months ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”), the performance of the financial markets was influenced by unexpected political events in the U.S. and abroad as well as by global central bank monetary policy. In this environment, U.S. and international equities notched solid gains, while the broad fixed income market generally produced negative returns.
Equity Markets
As the Reporting Period began in early September 2016, U.S. and international equities alike fell as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) disappointed markets with its lack of commitment to extend quantitative easing. Later in the month, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) left its monetary policy unchanged, and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) introduced a 0% target for its 10-year government bond yield to exercise “yield curve control.” (The yield curve control framework is designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates. Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities.) U.S. and international equities rebounded following the Fed and BoJ decisions, which the markets appeared to view as generally benign. In October 2016, a combination of hawkish Fed commentary and mounting strong U.S. economic data led to increased market pricing for a December 2016 interest rate hike. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) The U.S. Department of Commerce announced the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) increased by 3.5% on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2016, above consensus expectations and the strongest growth rate in two years. Meanwhile, ECB minutes stressed a commitment to ongoing monthly bond-buying of 80 billion euros through at least March 2017, helping to dispel market concerns about potential tapering. The U.K.’s first official GDP growth figure since the Brexit referendum, the U.K.’s June 2016 vote to leave the European Union, was more robust than consensus-expected at 0.5%. Japanese equities enjoyed strong performance owing to weakness in the Japanese yen, as BoJ governor Haruhiko Kuroda stated there was room for further easing if necessary to achieve the BoJ’s 2% inflation target. Following the unexpected victory of Donald Trump in the November 2016 U.S. elections, U.S. and international equities rallied on anticipation of a pro-growth effect of

MARKET REVIEW
Mr. Trump’s fiscal stimulus plan, though international equities recorded a modest decline for the month overall. The Fed raised rates 0.25% in December 2016, for the first time in a year but as had largely been anticipated, and set a more hawkish rate hike path for 2017. Although U.S. equities declined modestly after the announcement, they advanced for December 2016 overall. International equities also posted solid gains during the month, which was highlighted by the resignation of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi after Italian voters’ rejection of that nation’s constitutional reform referendum and the ECB’s decision to slow its monthly pace of quantitative easing while extending the program to the end of 2017.
In January 2017, investors searched for details on the timing and scope behind President Trump’s proclamations during his press conferences, inaugural speech and first days in office. In this environment, U.S. and international equities rallied to new highs on the prospect of deregulation following executive orders on oil pipelines and on optimism around infrastructure spending after a $1 trillion proposal from Senate Democrats made headlines. U.S. and international equities subsequently retreated on political uncertainty and market concerns about protectionism following President Trump’s executive orders on immigration, a border wall and U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, popularly known as TPP. Amid a busy political agenda, U.S. economic data released in January 2017 remained encouraging. U.K. equities fell after a speech by Prime Minister Theresa May was interpreted by the markets as increasing the possibility of a “hard Brexit.” (In a hard Brexit, the U.K. would leave the European Union, as well as its single market for goods, quickly and completely.) In France, allegations about the employment in parliament of presidential candidate Francois Fillon’s wife increased uncertainty about the country’s upcoming election. The Japanese yen appreciated sharply, and Japanese equities retreated.
In February 2017, U.S. and international equities posted gains, as investors continued to assess the outlook for potential tax reform, deregulation and other economic policies out of the Trump administration, while also heeding the tone of Fed officials. The U.S. dollar strengthened during the month, as the market-implied probability of a March 2017 interest rate hike increased with Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s testimony before Congress and hawkish comments from other Fed officials. Solid U.S. economic data also supported the market’s advance, with the Institute of Supply Management’s manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices rising to a two-year and six-year high, respectively, during February 2017. Meanwhile, the Markit Eurozone Composite Flash Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMI”) reached its highest level in nearly six years.
Fixed Income Markets
During September 2016, spread, or non-government bond, sectors outperformed U.S. Treasury securities. The Fed kept the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged at its September 2016 policy meeting after a summer of speeches by Fed officials that fluctuated between dovish and hawkish tones. The ECB also left its monetary policy unchanged during the month, while the BoJ extended its quantitative and qualitative monetary easing framework to include “yield curve control.”
In the fourth quarter of 2016, spread sectors generally outpaced U.S. Treasury securities. In early November 2016, Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. Presidential election led to a change in investor expectations for future monetary, fiscal and regulatory policy. More specifically, investors appeared to anticipate fiscal stimulus, a looser regulatory agenda and a faster pace of Fed monetary policy tightening. After the U.S. election, global interest rates rose and the U.S. dollar strengthened versus other developed markets and emerging markets currencies.

MARKET REVIEW
Meanwhile, the U.S. economy continued to strengthen, with strong jobs growth and increased consumer spending reported. In December 2016, the Fed raised the targeted federal funds rate 0.25% to a range of between 0.50% and 0.75%. The rate hike resulted in a further rise in U.S. Treasury yields, with a notable increase in shorter-term yields, and additional appreciation in the U.S. dollar. In Europe, the ECB announced it would reduce its monthly pace of asset purchases starting in April 2017 but stated it would extend its quantitative easing program to the end of 2017. On the political front, Italy voted to reject constitutional reforms, while the outcome of Austria’s election defied the populist tide that had claimed victories in the U.K. and U.S. during 2016. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Japanese economy expanded by 1.2%, annualized, from the previous calendar quarter. Crude oil prices rose following an agreement by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and non-OPEC producers to cut production, which provided support for energy issuers within the corporate credit market as well as for oil-exporting emerging economies.
During January 2017, spread sectors generally outperformed U.S. Treasury securities. The U.S. dollar fluctuated on comments from President Trump as well as on protectionist measures, such as the U.S. withdrawal from the TPP. Major developed markets’ central banks kept monetary policy unchanged at their first meetings of the year. Global economic activity improved, with the global manufacturing PMI rising for a fifth consecutive month, driven mainly by emerging markets countries.
Most spread sectors outpaced U.S. Treasury securities during February 2017, with improved global economic growth and a recovery in commodity prices providing support to riskier asset classes, including high yield corporate bonds. Strong U.S. economic data and hawkish comments from Fed policymakers increased market expectations for an interest rate hike in March 2017. In Europe, uncertainty surrounding upcoming political events clouded marginal improvements in economic data. U.K. economic data, which had been resilient since the Brexit vote, began to deteriorate.
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, our views were based primarily on our three strongest convictions. First, we believe that relative to the rest of the world, the U.S. economy has the best potential to strengthen in 2017. Second, we think economic growth and monetary policy across countries is continuing to diverge. Third, we anticipate volatility in the financial markets to trend higher.
During 2017, we expect global economic growth to pick up, led by the U.S. and followed by Japan. The U.S. economy was already strengthening, in our view, before the November 2016 election, and we believe proposed fiscal stimulus and the potential loosening of regulations could provide additional support. We see the U.S. economy growing 2.3% in 2017, with consumption underpinned in the near term by rising wages amid a labor market near full employment. (Full employment means the highest amount of skilled and unskilled labor that can be employed within an economy at any given time.) We also see scope for marginal improvements in business investment. That said, we remain alert to potential policy changes

MARKET REVIEW
and geopolitical tensions, largely related to a more protectionist stance on trade, that might be associated with the Trump administration. We will also closely monitor inflationary pressures arising from potential fiscal expansion, deregulation and trade policy changes as well as the recent rebound in commodity prices. Should overall U.S. financial conditions remain supportive for economic growth, we expect the Fed to raise interest rates at least three times in 2017.
Outside the U.S., we think innovative central bank monetary policy and modest fiscal stimulus will likely continue to support Japan’s economic growth. In Europe, we expect political uncertainties to weigh on its growth outlook, particularly after the Brexit process commences.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Class A and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 7.29% and 7.46%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.65% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Composite Index (“EDGE Composite Index”), over the same time period. The components of the EDGE Composite Index generated cumulative total returns of -2.19% and 7.66% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) Investable Market Index® (“MSCI ACWI IMI”), respectively, during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What key factors affected the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio benefited from its strategic weightings and tactical asset allocation decisions (“tactical tilts”). The performance of the Underlying Funds detracted from the Portfolio’s performance versus the EDGE Composite Index. |
Q | | How were the Portfolio’s tactical asset allocation decisions managed during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment process, we develop views regarding near-term expected market returns and implement tactical tilts in an attempt to enhance performance. These tactical tilts are implemented through an investment in the Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund (the “Underlying Tactical Fund”), which seeks long-term total return through the implementation of investment ideas that are generally derived from short-term or medium-term market views on a variety of asset classes and instruments. As mentioned previously, the Portfolio’s tactical tilts added to its results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period? |
A | | To implement our strategic and tactical asset allocation decisions, the Portfolio invests in eight Underlying Funds. Seven of these Underlying Funds may be used to implement strategic asset allocation decisions (“Underlying Strategic Funds”). The Underlying Tactical Fund, as mentioned previously, is used to implement tactical tilts. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio was invested in six of the seven Underlying Strategic Funds, three of which outperformed their respective benchmark indices. (The Portfolio did not have an allocation to the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund during the Reporting Period.) The Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund, the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund outperformed their respective benchmark indices. |
| The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund underperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period. Two of these Underlying Strategic Funds that underperformed in relative terms — the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund — are those in which the Portfolio invested a significant percentage of its equity allocation. |
| The Portfolio’s Underlying Tactical Fund outperformed its benchmark index by more than 250 basis points1 during the Reporting Period. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percent.) |
| 1 | | Performance quoted is for Institutional Shares. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did call writing affect performance? |
A | | As mentioned above, the Portfolio’s two largest allocations were to the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, which earn premiums through an equity index call writing strategy. When equity markets are down, flat or only modestly positive, these Underlying Strategic Funds tend to outperform their respective benchmark indices because of the premiums they earn from call writing. When equity markets rally strongly, these two Underlying Strategic Funds are likely to trail their respective benchmark indices. Although the Underlying Strategic Funds keep the premiums they earn from call writing, they can underperform when the call options are exercised. |
| As the U.S. and international equity markets advanced during the Reporting Period, the call writing strategies of the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund detracted from performance. |
Q | | How did the Portfolio use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolio used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to obtain exposure to the British pound, euro, Australian dollar, Swiss franc and Japanese yen. Collectively, these forward foreign currency exchange contracts added slightly to relative returns. |
| The Portfolio also employed Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (“S&P 500® Index”) futures as part of its strategic weightings in U.S. large-cap growth stocks and U.S. large-cap value stocks. Overall, the Portfolio’s strategic weightings contributed positively to its performance. In addition, some of the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds, including the Portfolio’s Underlying Tactical Fund, used derivatives during the Reporting Period to apply their active investment views with greater versatility or to afford greater risk management precision. As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, some of these Underlying Funds engaged in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts, options and swap contracts to enhance portfolio return and for hedging purposes. |
Q | | What changes did you make during the Reporting Period within the Portfolio? |
A | | No significant changes were made within the Portfolio during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Portfolio’s strategy at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | Going forward, we plan to maintain a diversified equity portfolio that implements our strategic and tactical views as we continue to seek long-term growth of capital and current income. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Class A and Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.07% and 9.37%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.65% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Composite Index (“TAG Composite Index”), over the same time period. The components of the TAG Composite Index generated cumulative total returns of -2.19% and 7.66% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) Investable Market Index® (“MSCI ACWI IMI”), respectively, during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What key factors affected the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio benefited from its strategic weightings and tactical asset allocation decisions (“tactical tilts”). The performance of the Underlying Funds also added to the Portfolio’s performance versus the TAG Composite Index. |
Q | | How were the Portfolio’s tactical asset allocation decisions managed during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment process, we develop views regarding near-term expected market returns and implement tactical tilts in an attempt to enhance performance. These tactical tilts are implemented through an investment in the Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund (the “Underlying Tactical Fund”), which seeks long-term total return through the implementation of investment ideas that are generally derived from short-term or medium-term market views on a variety of asset classes and instruments. As mentioned previously, the Portfolio’s tactical tilts contributed positively to performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period? |
A | | To implement our strategic and tactical asset allocation decisions, the Portfolio invests in seven Underlying Funds. Six of these Underlying Funds may be used to implement strategic asset allocation decisions (“Underlying Strategic Funds”). The Underlying Tactical Fund, as mentioned previously, is used to implement tactical tilts. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio was invested in five of the six Underlying Strategic Funds, all of which outperformed their respective benchmark indices. (The Portfolio did not have an allocation to the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund during the Reporting Period.) |
| Two of the Underlying Strategic Funds that outperformed in relative terms — the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund — are those in which the Portfolio held its largest weightings. In addition, the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund, the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund outperformed their respective benchmark indices. |
| The Portfolio’s Underlying Tactical Fund outperformed its benchmark index by more than 250 basis points1 during the Reporting Period. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percent.) |

| 1 | | The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Portfolio (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Portfolio’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Portfolio’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The TAG Composite Index (“TAG Composite”) is a composite representation prepared by the investment adviser of the performance of the Portfolio’s asset classes weighted according to their respective weightings in the Portfolio’s target range. |
| | | The TAG Composite is comprised of the MSCI ACWI IMI (90%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (10%). The TAG Composite figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. |
| 3 | | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents an unmanaged diversified portfolio of fixed income securities, including U.S. Treasuries, investment grade corporate bonds and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. |
| 4 | | The MSCI ACWI IMI captures large, mid and small cap representation across 23 developed markets and 23 emerging markets. With 8,605 constituents, the MSCI ACWI IMI is comprehensive, covering approximately 99% of the global equity investment opportunity set. As of February 28, 2017, the 23 developed markets in the MSCI ACWI IMI include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S. The 23 emerging markets include Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Qatar, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. |

| | Institutional | | | 8.02 | | | | 11.39 | | | | 5.81 | | | 4/30/08 |
| 5 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns 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. Because Institutional 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 Portfolio’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.

| 6 | | The expense ratios of the Portfolio, both current (net of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and before waivers (gross of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) are as set forth above according to the most recent publicly available Prospectus for the Portfolio and may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in the Financial Highlights in this report. Pursuant to a contractual arrangement, the Portfolio’s waivers and/or expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2017, and prior to such date the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees. If these arrangements are discontinued in the future, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval. |

| | Return after taxes on distributions** | | | 1.59 | | | | 9.16 | | | | 4.28 | |
| | Return after taxes on distributions*** and sale of Portfolio shares | | | 1.14 | | | | 7.61 | | | | 3.67 | |
7 | | The after-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of distributions (currently 23.8% for qualifying ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions and 43.4% for non-qualifying ordinary income dividends) and do not reflect state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns will be calculated at calendar year-end and depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Portfolio shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Portfolio Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes. Standardized after-tax returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares. |
* | | Returns Before Taxes do not reflect taxes on distributions on the Portfolio’s Class A Shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed. |
** | | Returns After Taxes on Distributions assume that taxes are paid on distributions on the Portfolio’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period. |
*** | | Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Portfolio Shares reflect taxes paid on distributions on the Portfolio’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed. |

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Portfolios” or individually a “Portfolio”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Portfolio | | Share Classes Offered | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity and Tax-Advantaged Global Equity | | A and Institutional | | Diversified |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Institutional Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Portfolios pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
The Portfolios are expected to invest primarily in a combination of domestic and international equity and fixed income underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) which are registered under the Act, for which GSAM or Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), also an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, act as investment advisers. Additionally, these Portfolios may invest a portion of their assets directly in other securities and instruments, including unaffiliated exchange traded funds.
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Portfolios’ valuation policy, as well as the Underlying Funds’, is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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 from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), as may be received by certain Underlying Funds, are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. The Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund (the “Underlying MLP Fund”) records its pro-rata share of the income/loss and capital gains/losses, allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost basis of the underlying partnerships accordingly. Income distributions are recognized as capital gains or income in the financial statements in accordance with the character that is distributed.
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 Portfolio are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Portfolios 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 and Transfer Agency fees. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by each Portfolio will vary.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Portfolio is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | |
Portfolio | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity | | | | Annually | | Annually |
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Portfolio’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Portfolios’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of a Portfolio are maintained in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translations. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Portfolios’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Underlying Funds — Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Because each Portfolio invests primarily in other mutual funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolios’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Portfolio enters 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.

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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. Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is a forward contract in which a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.
ii. 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that 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 a Portfolio’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Portfolio’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Portfolios, 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 Portfolios’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.15% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve an effective rate of 0.08% as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of each Portfolio through at least December 29, 2017, and prior to such date, GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.
B. Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plan — The Trust, on behalf of Class A Shares of each Portfolio, has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plan, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Portfolios.
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Portfolios pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge. During the six months ended February 28, 2017, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained front-end sales charges of $4,329 for the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio.
D. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolios 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 Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.
E. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolios (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and 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 Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolios are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolios is 0.014%. The Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least December 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolios have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which
32

|
5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
may result in a reduction of the Portfolios’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the six months ended February 28, 2017, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio | | | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Other Expense Reimbursement | | | Custody Fee Credits | | | Total Expense Reductions | |
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity | | | | $ | 185,005 | | | $ | 96,583 | | | $ | 3,795 | | | $ | 285,383 | |
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity | | | | | 652,327 | | | | 117,175 | | | | 13,782 | | | | 783,284 | |
F. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2017, the Portfolios participated in a $1,100,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. 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 Portfolios based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Portfolios did not have any borrowings under the facility.
G. Other Transactions with Affiliates — The Portfolios invest primarily in the Institutional Shares of the Underlying Funds. These Underlying Funds are considered to be affiliated with the Portfolios. The tables below show the transactions in and earnings from investments in these Underlying Funds for the six months ended February 28, 2017:

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures and net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts.
GSAM has reviewed the Portfolios’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Portfolios’ and Underlying Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Portfolios’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Portfolios. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Energy Sector Risk — The Underlying MLP Fund concentrates its investments in the energy sector, and will therefore be susceptible to adverse economic, environmental, business, regulatory or other occurrences affecting that sector. The energy sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. MLPs and other companies operating in the energy sector are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices; reduced consumer demand for commodities such as oil, natural gas or petroleum products; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets. Additionally, changes in the regulatory environment for energy companies may adversely impact their profitability. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — 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 a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. 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 a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund has exposure to currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Investments in the Underlying Funds — The Portfolios invest primarily in a combination of Underlying Funds, and are subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of those Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. As of February 28, 2017, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio invested 42.6% and 23.5% of its net assets in the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (the “International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund”), respectively. Because of the high concentration of its assets in these Underlying Funds, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio has greater exposure to the risks associated with these Underlying Funds than it does to the risks associated with the other Underlying Funds in which it invests. The U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend paying equity investments in large-capitalization U.S. equity issuers, with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
capitalization of the S&P 500® at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write call options on the S&P 500® Index or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 25% and 75% of the value of its portfolio. The International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity investments in companies that are organized outside the U.S. or whose securities are principally traded outside the U.S. with public stock market capitalizations within the range of capitalization of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia, Far East (“EAFE”) Index (“MSCI EAFE Index”) at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write call options on the MSCI EAFE Index, other national or regional stock market indices or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 25% and 75% of the value of its portfolio.
As February 28, 2017, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio invested 51.1% and 23.4% of its net assets in the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “International Tax-Managed Equity Fund”), respectively. Because of the high concentration of its assets in these Underlying Funds, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio has greater exposure to the risks associated with these Underlying Funds than it does to the risks associated with the other Underlying Funds in which it invests. The U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the U.S. This Underlying Fund will seek to maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 3000 Index. The International Tax-Managed Equity Fund invests primarily in international equity securities. This Underlying Fund will seek to maintain risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the MSCI EAFE Index. The investment adviser may seek tax-efficiency by offsetting gains and losses, limiting portfolio turnover or selling high tax basis securities for both Underlying Funds.
The Portfolios do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the Portfolios within their principal investment strategies may represent a significant portion of an Underlying Fund’s net assets.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Portfolio or an Underlying Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Portfolio’s or an Underlying 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 Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Portfolio’s or the Underlying Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Portfolio or Underlying Fund share purchases may adversely affect the Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s performance to the extent that the Portfolio or the Underlying Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — An Underlying 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 Portfolio will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Portfolio may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Portfolio and an Underlying Fund trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Portfolio and/or an Underlying Fund 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 Portfolio and the Underlying Fund have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolios. Additionally, in the course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2017 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A or Institutional Shares of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A Shares); and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A and Institutional Shares of the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolios’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees and do not include expenses of Underlying Funds in which the Portfolios invest. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| * | | Expenses are calculated using each Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 28, 2017. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: | |
| | | | | | | | |
Portfolio | | Class A | | | Institutional | |
Enhanced Dividend Global Equity | | | 0.53 | % | | | 0.13 | % |
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity | | | 0.53 | | | | 0.13 | |

The reports concerning the Portfolios included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Portfolios in the future. These statements are based on Portfolio management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Portfolios, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Portfolios. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
A description of the policies and procedures that the Portfolios use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information regarding how a Portfolio voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-526-7384 (for Retail Shareholders) or 1-800-621-2550 (for Institutional Shareholders); and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) web site at http://www.sec.gov.
The Portfolios file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Qs. The Portfolios’ Form N-Qs are available on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov within 60 days after the Portfolios’ first and third fiscal quarters.

Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation Fund
Investment Objective and Principal Strategy
The Portfolio seeks long-term total return.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team (“QIS Team”) discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation Fund’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2017 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Institutional Shares generated a cumulative total return of 2.79%. This compares to the 3.80% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Strategic Factor Allocation Composite Index (the “Index”), which is composed 50% of the S&P 500® Index and 50% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, during the same period. |
| The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the S&P 500® Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, generated cumulative total returns of 10.01% and -2.19%, respectively, during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Portfolio as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, unexpected political events in the U.S. and abroad, as well as global central bank monetary policy, influenced the performance of the financial markets and the Portfolio. Overall, U.S. and international equities notched solid gains, while the broad fixed income market generally produced negative returns. |
| As the Reporting Period began in early September 2016, U.S. and international equities alike fell, as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) disappointed markets with its lack of commitment to extend quantitative easing. Later in the month, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) left its monetary policy unchanged, and the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) introduced a 0% target for its 10-year government bond yield to exercise “yield curve control.” (The yield curve control framework is designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates. Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities.) U.S. and international equities rebounded following the Fed and BoJ decisions, which the markets appeared to view as generally benign. In October 2016, a combination of hawkish Fed commentary and mounting strong U.S. economic data led to increased market pricing for a December 2016 interest rate hike. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) The U.S. Department of Commerce announced the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) increased by 3.5% on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2016, above consensus expectations and the strongest growth rate in two years. Meanwhile, ECB minutes stressed a commitment to ongoing monthly bond-buying of 80 billion euros through at least March 2017, helping to dispel market concerns about potential tapering. The U.K.’s first official GDP growth figure since the Brexit referendum, the U.K.’s June 2016 vote to leave the European Union, was more robust than consensus-expected at 0.5%. Japanese equities enjoyed strong performance owing to weakness in the Japanese yen, as BoJ governor Haruhiko Kuroda stated there was room for further easing if necessary to achieve the BoJ’s 2% inflation target. Following the unexpected victory of Donald Trump in the November 2016 U.S. elections, U.S. and international equities rallied on anticipation of a pro-growth effect of Mr. Trump’s fiscal stimulus plan, though international equities recorded a modest decline for the month overall. The Fed raised rates 0.25% in December 2016, for the first time in a year but as had largely been anticipated, and set a more hawkish rate hike path for 2017. Although U.S. equities declined modestly after the announcement, they advanced for December 2016 overall. International equities also posted solid gains during the month, which was highlighted by the resignation of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi after Italian voters’ rejection of that nation’s constitutional reform referendum and the ECB’s decision to slow its monthly pace of quantitative easing while extending the program to the end of 2017. In January 2017, investors searched for details on the timing and scope |

| behind President Trump’s proclamations during his press conferences, inaugural speech and first days in office. In this environment, U.S. and international equities rallied to new highs on the prospect of deregulation following executive orders on oil pipelines and on optimism around infrastructure spending after a $1 trillion proposal from Senate Democrats made headlines. U.S. and international equities subsequently retreated on political uncertainty and market concerns about protectionism following President Trump’s executive orders on immigration, a border wall and U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, popularly known as TPP. Amid a busy political agenda, U.S. economic data released in January 2017 remained encouraging. U.K. equities fell after a speech by Prime Minister Theresa May was interpreted by the markets as increasing the possibility of a “hard Brexit.” (In a hard Brexit, the U.K. would leave the European Union, as well as its single market for goods, quickly and completely.) In France, allegations about the employment in parliament of presidential candidate Francois Fillon’s wife increased market uncertainty about the country’s upcoming election. The Japanese yen appreciated sharply and Japanese equities retreated. In February 2017, U.S. and international equities posted gains as investors continued to assess the outlook for potential tax reform, deregulation and other economic policies out of the Trump administration, while also heeding the tone of Fed officials. The U.S. dollar strengthened during the month, as the market-implied probability of a March 2017 interest rate hike increased with Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s testimony before Congress and hawkish comments from other Fed officials. Solid U.S. economic data also supported the market’s advance, with the Institute of Supply Management’s manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices rising to a two-year and six-year high, respectively, during February 2017. Meanwhile, the Markit Eurozone Composite Flash Purchasing Managers’ Index (“PMI”) reached its highest levels in nearly six years. |
| In the fixed income markets during September 2016, spread, or non-government bond, sectors outperformed U.S. Treasury securities. The Fed kept the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged at its September 2016 policy meeting after a summer of speeches by Fed officials that fluctuated between dovish and hawkish tones. The ECB also left its monetary policy unchanged during the month, while the BoJ extended its quantitative and qualitative monetary easing framework to include “yield curve control.” In the fourth quarter of 2016, spread sectors generally outpaced U.S. Treasury securities. In early November 2016, Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. Presidential election led to a change in investor expectations for future monetary, fiscal and regulatory policy. More specifically, investors appeared to anticipate fiscal stimulus, a looser regulatory agenda and a faster pace of Fed monetary policy tightening. After the U.S. election, global interest rates rose and the U.S. dollar strengthened versus other developed markets and emerging markets currencies. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy continued to strengthen, with strong jobs growth and increased consumer spending reported. In December 2016, the Fed raised the targeted federal funds rate 0.25% to a range of between 0.50% and 0.75%. The interest rate hike resulted in a further rise in U.S. Treasury yields, with a notable increase in shorter-term yields, and additional appreciation in the U.S. dollar. In Europe, the ECB announced it would reduce its monthly pace of asset purchases starting in April 2017, but stated it would extend its quantitative easing program to the end of 2017. On the political front, Italy voted to reject constitutional reforms, while the outcome of Austria’s election defied the populist tide that had claimed victories in the U.K. and U.S. during 2016. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Japanese economy expanded by 1.2%, annualized, from the previous calendar quarter. Crude oil prices rose following an agreement by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and non-OPEC producers to cut production, which provided support for energy issuers within the corporate credit market as well as for oil-exporting emerging economies. During January 2017, spread sectors generally outperformed U.S. Treasury securities. The U.S. dollar fluctuated on comments from President Trump as well as on protectionist measures, such as the U.S. withdrawal from the TPP. Major developed markets’ central banks kept monetary policy unchanged at their first meetings of the year. Global economic activity improved, with the global manufacturing PMI rising for a fifth consecutive month, driven mainly by emerging markets countries. Most spread sectors outpaced U.S. Treasury securities during February 2017, with improved global economic growth and a recovery in commodity prices providing support to riskier asset classes, including high yield corporate bonds. Strong U.S. economic data and hawkish comments from Fed policymakers increased market expectations for a rate hike in March 2017. In Europe, uncertainty surrounding upcoming political events clouded marginal improvements in economic data. U.K. economic data, which had been resilient since the Brexit vote, began to deteriorate. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | What were the primary contributors to and detractors from the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective through the implementation of the Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation process (“Strategic Allocation”), which is derived from the Goldman Sachs Investment Strategy Group’s (“ISG”) market views on a variety of asset classes and instruments. The Strategic Allocation was developed to provide exposure to “factors,” which are academically derived drivers of investment returns that the Goldman Sachs ISG believes offer the potential for greater and more consistent returns in various market environments. These factors include, but are not limited to, Equity, Term, Flow and Volatility. The Equity factor seeks to capture the premium associated with equity risk. The Term factor seeks to capture the premium associated with interest rate and inflation risk. The Flow factor seeks to systematically capitalize on flows within and across asset classes. The Volatility factor seeks to capture the “fear premium” associated with equity risk. (The fear premium is the amount investors tend to overpay to preserve capital during periods of financial market volatility.) The QIS Team implements the Strategic Allocation by investing primarily in derivatives; pooled investment vehicles, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) and underlying funds; and equities, fixed income and currencies. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Strategic Allocation overall detracted from the Portfolio’s performance relative to the Index. The Term and Flow factors hurt the Portfolio’s results, while the Equity and Volatility factors contributed positively. |
| In terms of underlying asset classes and instruments, the Portfolio’s allocation to U.S. fixed income hampered its relative returns. An allocation to listed U.S. equity index options added to performance. Holdings of U.S. equities and the Portfolio’s cash position also bolstered results. |
| Positions in developed markets currencies, accomplished through foreign currency exchange forward contracts, was mixed. The Portfolio’s exposure to the Japanese yen and the New Zealand dollar hurt performance. These results were largely offset by positions in the euro and Canadian dollar, which added to returns. The Portfolio’s positions in the British pound and the Swiss franc did not have a meaningful impact on results. During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio did not have an allocation to the Australian dollar. |
Q | | How was the Portfolio positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of its Strategic Allocation at the start of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio had relatively equal weightings in the Equity, Flow and Volatility factors. It had a relatively smaller weighting in the Term factor. |
| In terms of underlying asset classes and instruments, the Portfolio maintained positions in U.S. equities, listed U.S. equity index options and U.S. fixed income. In terms of currencies, it held long positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Canadian dollar and the British pound. It held short positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc. |
Q | | How did the Portfolio use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolio uses derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes in the implementation of the Strategic Allocation. During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio employed listed equity index options to implement views on the U.S. equity market, which added to performance. It used bond futures to express views on the U.S. fixed income market. The bond futures position detracted from results. In addition, the Portfolio utilized foreign currency exchange forward contracts to take long and short positions in select developed markets currencies. Foreign currency exchange forward contracts had a relatively neutral impact on the Portfolio’s results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Portfolio positioned at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of its Strategic Allocation at the end of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio maintained relatively equal weightings in the Equity, Flow and Volatility factors. It continued to have a relatively smaller weighting in the Term factor. |
| In terms of underlying asset classes and instruments, the Portfolio maintained positions in U.S. equities, listed U.S. equity index options and U.S. fixed income. In terms of currencies, it held long positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Japanese yen and the British pound. It held short positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Swiss franc and the euro. |
Q | | What was the Portfolio’s strategy at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | Going forward, the QIS Team plans to continue implementing the Strategic Allocation process as it seeks long-term total return. |

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation Fund (the “Portfolio”) is a non-diversified portfolio and currently offers one share class — Institutional Shares. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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. For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by the Portfolio are charged to the Portfolio, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust that may not solely relate to the Portfolio are allocated to the Portfolio and the other applicable funds of the Trust on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis, depending upon the nature of the expenses, and are accrued daily.
D. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the initial offering of shares are being amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations.
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Portfolio is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
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 the Portfolio’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Portfolio’s net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
F. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency
14

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
translations. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
|
3. INVESTMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio’s 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 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 are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. 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.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per
15
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)
|
3. INVESTMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolio’s shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. 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. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The Portfolio enters 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. Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is a forward contract in which the Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.
ii. 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, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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.
iii. Option Contracts — When the Portfolio writes call or put option contracts, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately
16
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND
|
3. INVESTMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
reflect fair value, the fair value of the Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the gross value of derivative contracts as of February 28, 2017. These instruments were used as part of the Portfolio’s investment strategies and to obtain and/or manage exposure related to the risks below. The values in the tables below exclude the effects of cash collateral received or posted pursuant to these derivative contracts, and therefore are not representative of the Portfolio’s net exposure.

The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the Portfolio’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the six months ended February 28, 2017. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to create investment opportunities and/or economically hedge certain investments, and accordingly, certain gains (losses) on such derivative contracts may offset certain (losses) gains attributable to investments. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Statement of Operations:

(a) | | Average number of contracts is based on the average of month end balances for the period ended February 28, 2017. |
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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
18
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND
|
4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Portfolio and the counterparty. Additionally, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio, 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 Portfolio’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
For the six months ended February 28, 2017, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Contractual Management Rate | | | Effective Net Management Rate*^ | |
First $2 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Over $8 billion | | | Effective Rate | | |
| 0.75% | | | | 0.68% | | | | 0.64% | | | | 0.62% | | | | 0.75% | | | | 0.65% | |
* | | GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to any management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated funds in which the Portfolio invests through at least December 29, 2017. Prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. |
^ | | Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. |
The Portfolio invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Portfolio. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated Underlying Portfolios in which the Portfolio invests. For the six months ended February 28, 2017, GSAM waived $258,334 of the Portfolio’s management fee.
B. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolio 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: 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.
C. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolio (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and 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

the Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolio are 0.164%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolio has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolio’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
D. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 28, 2017 , Goldman Sachs did not earn any brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions on behalf of the Portfolio.
The table below shows the transactions in and earnings from investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2017:

|
6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the period ended February 28, 2017, were: $673,789,402 and $499,283,405, respectively.
As of the Portfolio’s most recent period ended August 31, 2016 the Portfolio had no capital loss carryforwards and certain timing differences on a tax basis.
As of February 28, 2017, the Portfolio’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 660,585,339 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 13,483,703 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (264,199 | ) |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 13,219,504 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures, options contracts and foreign currency contracts.
GSAM has reviewed the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
20
GOLDMAN SACHS STRATEGIC FACTOR ALLOCATION FUND
The Portfolio’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Portfolio. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. 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 Portfolio invests. The imposition of exchange controls, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. 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 Portfolio has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.
Foreign Custody Risk — If the Portfolio invests in foreign securities, the Portfolio may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Portfolio’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on the Portfolio’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.
Geographic Risk — If the Portfolio focuses its investments in the securities of issuers located in particular country or geographic region, it will subject the Portfolio to a greater extent than if its investments were less focused, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that country or region, such as: adverse securities markets; adverse exchange rates; adverse social, political, regulatory, economic, business, environmental or other developments disasters.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Portfolio will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with increasing rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but may be expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and the Portfolio’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Portfolio.
Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, the Portfolio will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Portfolio. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — The Portfolio 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 the Portfolio in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Portfolio. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Portfolio to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Portfolio’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to

|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Portfolio’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Portfolio’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Portfolio share purchases may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance to the extent that the Portfolio is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — The Portfolio 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 the Portfolio will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Portfolio may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Portfolio trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Non-Diversification Risk — The Portfolio is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, the Portfolio may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolio. Additionally, in the course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Portfolio Expenses — Period Ended February 28, 2017 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Institutional Shares of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line 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 in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio 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.

| + | | Hypothetical expenses are based on the Portfolio’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. | |
| * | | Expenses are calculated using the Portfolio’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended February 28, 2017. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period was 0.79%. | |
