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, 2018 (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, noteworthy events influencing the front, or short-term, end of the money market yield curve included a Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hike and its start of balance sheet normalization as well as action by other central banks, including the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) tapering of asset purchases. (Yield curve is a spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths. Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed is taking to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.) |
| | In December 2017, the Fed delivered its third rate hike of the calendar year, raising the targeted federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range between 1.25% and 1.50%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Policymakers cited ongoing strength in the U.S. labor market and a pickup in household spending and business fixed investment. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, indicated that three rate increases were on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. During February 2018, new Fed chair Jerome Power noted an improvement in the U.S. economic outlook since the Fed’s December 2017 policy meeting. His comments were met with a hawkish market reaction, with U.S. Treasury yields climbing amid raised market expectations for a shift in the Fed’s dot plot at its March 2018 meeting. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) |
| | Outside the U.S., the ECB announced in October 2017 that it would reduce its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion for nine months beginning in January 2018, mainly by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. The ECB also said its policy rates would remain low for “an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of the net asset purchases.” Also in October 2017, the Bank of England reversed an emergency interest rate cut, made in August 2016 following the Brexit referendum, and signaled that future monetary policy tightening would be limited, gradual and dependent on the economic reaction to the U.K.’s eventual departure from the European Union. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the performance of the Funds during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Funds’ yields rose during the Reporting Period, driven by the increase in money market yields, which occurred primarily because of the economic and market factors discussed above. The money market yield curve flattened, meaning yields on shorter-term maturities rose more than those on longer-term maturities. |
Q | | How did you manage the Funds during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Collectively, the 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, floating rate securities, variable rate demand notes (“VRDNs”), municipal securities and floating rate securities during the Reporting Period. |
| | In our commercial paper strategies (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund), we maintained a rather short weighted average maturity of approximately 35 days, as the Fed continued to signal the likelihood of a December 2017 interest rate hike. For the same reason, we maintained relatively short weighted average maturities of approximately 20 days in our 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 of approximately 40 days in our government non-repo strategies (i.e., the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Federal Instruments Fund and the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund). During the fourth quarter of 2017 and in early 2018, we focused our Funds’ purchases on floating rate securities, asset-backed commercial paper and agency securities because, in our view, they could help us |

| manage duration in the event of a more aggressive than market expected Fed interest rate hike scenario. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) |
Q | | How did you manage the Funds’ weighted average life during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we managed the weighted average life of the Funds below 120 days. In commercial paper strategies, we reduced the Funds’ weighted average life from approximately 82 days to approximately 64 days. In government repo and government non-repo strategies, we reduced the Funds’ weighted average life from approximately 115 days to approximately 104 days. The weighted average life of a money market fund is a measure of a money market fund’s price sensitivity to changes in liquidity and/or credit risk. |
| | Under amendments to SEC Rule 2a-7 that became effective in May 2010, the maximum allowable weighted average life of a money market fund is 120 days. While one of the goals of the SEC’s money market fund rule is to reinforce conservative investment practices across the money market fund industry, our security selection process has long emphasized conservative investment choices. |
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 the U.S. to continue to take the lead in unwinding the ultra-accommodative monetary policy put in place following the global financial crisis. We think the Fed will raise rates three times in 2018 and continue balance sheet normalization. Although we believe the markets have interpreted Jerome Powell’s appointment as preserving continuity at the Fed, the high turnover on the Federal Open Market Committee could challenge the status quo, in our view, as Powell will need to build consensus among policymakers, some of whom have yet to be nominated. Elsewhere, we see scope for several developed markets’ central banks, including the Bank of Canada and Reserve Bank of New Zealand, to tighten monetary policy because of domestic economic strength in those nations. In contrast, we anticipate prolonged monetary policy accommodation in Europe and Japan, where core inflation appears to lack upward momentum. Overall, the Funds continue to be flexibly guided by shifting market conditions, and we have positioned them to seek to take advantage of anticipated interest rate movements. At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed floating rate securities as offering value, and we intend to adjust duration guided by the context of market pricing in relation to our expectations. As always, we intend to 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 curve, as we strive to navigate the interest rate environment. |

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
INSTITUTIONAL MONEY MARKET FUNDS
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Funds’ investment returns will fluctuate. 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.
| 1 | | Each of the Prime Obligations, Treasury Obligations, Money Market, Treasury Instruments and Treasury Solutions Funds offers nine separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier and Resource), the Federal Instruments Fund offers eight separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management and Premier), and the Government Fund offers twelve separate classes of shares (Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, Class R6, Class A and Class C), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect performance and entitles shareholders to different services. The Institutional and Class R6 Shares do not have distribution and/or service (12b-1) or administration and/or service (non-12b-1) fees. The Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Service, Cash Management, Premier, Resource, 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: the Select Shares pay 0.03%, Preferred Shares pay 0.10%, Capital Shares pay 0.15%, Administration Shares pay 0.25%, Service Shares pay 0.50%, Cash Management Shares pay 0.80%, Premier Shares pay 0.35%, Resource Shares pay 0.65%, Class A Shares pay 0.25% and Class C Shares pay 1.00%. If these fees were reflected in the above performance, performance would have been reduced. In addition, the Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. The performance shown above reflects any waivers or reimbursements that were in effect for all or a portion of the periods shown. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the Fund’s operating expenses are reduced and the Fund’s yield and total returns to the shareholder are increased. |
| 3 | | As of February 8, 2018, the investment adviser has implemented a voluntary temporary fee waiver equal annually to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Square Money Market Fund. |
| 4 | | 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. A Fund’s total return reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. |

11 | | The SEC 7-Day Current Yield figures are as of 12/31/17 and are calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and do not include net capital gains. SEC 7-Day Current Yield may differ slightly from the actual distribution rate of a given Fund because of the exclusion of distributed capital gains, which are non-recurring. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield more closely reflects a Fund’s current earnings than do the Standardized Total Return figures. |

Index Definitions
ICE® BofAML® 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.
It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — FINANCIAL SQUARE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2018 (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 A, Class C, Resource, Cash Management and Class R6 | | Diversified |
Money Market, Prime Obligations, Treasury Instruments, Treasury Obligations and Treasury Solutions | | Institutional, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, 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.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to management agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Trust.
The following Funds were designated by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as “institutional money market funds” under Rule 2a-7 under the Act: Financial Square Money Market Fund and Financial Square Prime Obligations 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 accretion or 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. 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), if any, 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, Service, Distribution and Service, Administration, Service and Administration, and Shareholder Administration fees and Transfer Agency fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are 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. A Fund may defer or accelerate the timing of the distributions of short-term capital gains (or any portion thereof).
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. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 | | |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. 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’ 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, 2018, 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

|
4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
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 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, 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 the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.
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 as Distributor 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, as set forth below.
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 attributable to Services Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.
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, 2018, Goldman Sachs has advised that it retained $252 in CDSCs with respect to Class C Shares of the Financial Square Government Fund.
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, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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, 2018, 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.
G. Total Fund Expenses
Fund Contractual Fees
Effective February 21, 2018, GSAM changed the contractual management fee rate from 0.205% to 0.18% for the Financial Square Federal Instruments, Financial Square Treasury Instruments, Financial Square Treasury Obligations and Financial Square Treasury Solutions Funds and to 0.16% for the Financial Square Government, Financial Square Money Market and Financial Square Prime Obligations Funds.

Fund Effective Net Expenses (After Waivers and Reimbursements)
The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. As of February 8, 2018, GSAM has implemented a voluntary temporary fee waiver equal annually to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Financial Square Prime Obligations Fund and Financial Square Money Market Fund. Prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM contractually agreed to not impose a portion of the management fee equal annually to 0.025% of the Financial Square Federal Instruments, Financial Square Treasury Instruments, Financial Square Treasury Obligations and Financial Square Treasury Solutions Funds’ average daily net assets and 0.045% of the Financial Square Government, Financial Square Money Market and Financial Square Prime Obligations Funds’ average daily net assets.
During the six months ended February 28, 2018, GSAM and Goldman Sachs (as applicable) agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fees and respective class-specific fees described above attributable to the Funds. The Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM or Goldman Sachs for prior fiscal year fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any.

I. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2018, 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, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2017, the Funds’ certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Federal Instruments | | | Government | | | Money Market | | | Prime Obligations | | | Treasury Instruments | | | Treasury Obligations | | | Treasury Solutions | |
Timing differences (Dividend Payable and Post-October Capital Loss Deferral) | | $ | (24,446 | ) | | $ | (37,707,067 | ) | | $ | (1,143,803 | ) | | $ | (724,962 | ) | | $ | (13,354,206 | ) | | $ | (6,195,841 | ) | | $ | (2,228,574 | ) |
At February 28, 2018, the aggregate cost for each Fund stated in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities also represents 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 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

6. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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.

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.

* | | Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’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, 2018. 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: |
+ | | Hypothetical expenses are based on each Fund’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. |

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Growth Funds
Market Review
Overall, U.S. equities rallied during the six months ended February 28, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), boosted overall by a combination of accelerating economic growth, rising corporate earnings and a general lack of negative financial headlines. Plus, for most of the Reporting Period, U.S. equity market volatility was at or near historic lows. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a gain of 10.84%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 10.45%.
As the Reporting Period began in September 2017, U.S. economic activity and labor market data showed consistent strength, with U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) at an annualized rate above 3%, unemployment down to 4.2% and a reversal of five consecutive downside inflation reports. Progress on tax reform and strong economic activity data remained supportive for U.S. equities in October and November 2017. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) delivered the third interest rate hike of 2017 in December as had been widely expected and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of the calendar year from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The fourth quarter of 2017 marked the ninth consecutive quarter of positive returns for the S&P 500 Index, its strongest quarterly advance in four years.
U.S. equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, the $1.5 trillion tax reform plan and a favorable corporate earnings season. U.S. GDP for the fourth quarter of 2017 came in below that of the growth rate for the second and third quarters of the calendar year but was still a respectable annualized rate of 2.5%. The labor market in January 2018 also continued to highlight tightening slack in the economy. While December 2017 payroll data undershot consensus expectations, November 2017 data was revised such that the U.S. unemployment rate stood at a 17-year low of 4.1% and average hourly earnings ticked up. The fourth quarter corporate earnings season was robust, with strong revenue and earnings growth relative to historical data. Companies were beginning to provide discrete guidance on tax rates, and 2018 earnings forecasts were being upgraded as a result. The S&P 500 Index saw 14 closing highs in the month of January 2018.
In February 2018, however, equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes, which stoked a sharp rise in rates and volatility. Robust labor market data sparked the initial risk-off sentiment (i.e. heightened investor risk aversion)—nonfarm payroll employment increased by 200,000 in January 2018, while the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1% and average hourly earnings rose 0.34% month over month. Concerns about monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. inflation data. New Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed meeting, triggered speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes, surprising markets with its hawkish tilt and sparking a sell-off. (Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Renewed concerns about the increasingly hostile exchanges between North Korea and the White House further drove heightened volatility. On February 5, 2018, the VIX, a measure of volatility in the U.S. equity market, recorded its largest ever one day increase, and on February 8, 2018, the S&P 500 Index posted a one-day correction of 10.16%. Though the S&P 500 Index posted a negative return for February 2018, the U.S. equity markets rallied after February 8th and the VIX declined from a month high of 50.30 to end the Reporting Period at 19.85.
For the Reporting Period overall, information technology, financials and consumer discretionary, widely considered more economically-sensitive sectors, were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index by a wide margin. The weakest performing sectors in

MARKET REVIEW
the S&P 500 Index were utilities, real estate and consumer staples, traditionally considered more defensive sectors and the only three to post a negative absolute return during the Reporting Period.
Within the U.S. equity market, all capitalization segments posted positive returns, but large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, performed best, followed by mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index, and then small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks significantly outpaced value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the FTSE Russell indices.)
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained a positive view ahead to U.S. and global equities based on consensus economic and earnings growth expectations.
In our view, the U.S. economy continues to offer the strongest growth amongst the developed countries, and there is significant investor and business optimism about tax reform and fiscal expansion, which could support further economic and earnings growth. However, we believe this positive sentiment was already reflected in elevated equity valuations and U.S. equities reaching all-time highs before the February 2018 sell-off.
We also believe there are pockets of opportunity beyond the Funds’ respective benchmarks. For example, we see substantial opportunities in smaller-cap companies in the U.S. In our view, these companies may be well positioned to benefit from domestically-oriented, pro-growth policies and tax reform given their higher effective corporate tax rates compared to larger-cap companies. Additionally, operating margins at smaller companies were, at the end of the Reporting Period, far below prior peak levels and at a significant gap relative to those of larger caps. We believe this gap could narrow given the numerous catalysts that could disproportionately benefit smaller-cap stocks. In addition, in contrast to large-cap equities, smaller-cap stocks tend to operate and source more revenue domestically and thus stand to be hurt less from protectionist policies, as they tend to be less exposed to reciprocal tariffs and duties. Multiples, or price/earnings ratios, of smaller-cap companies, in our opinion, may be more attractive than they appear when taking into consideration the potential for an inflection in earnings growth.
We also believe the market has been overly pessimistic on retail real estate, whose performance significantly lagged other real estate investment trust (“REIT”) segments during the Reporting Period, as the market discounted retail REITs seemingly without regard for quality. Occupancy was at record highs in 2016 for shopping centers. There were net openings during that calendar year, with the number of stores opened exceeding the number of stores closed without building new facilities. Further, despite headlines, retail bankruptcies were at historically usual levels. We believe well-located assets with tenants playing toward “necessity based” or “experiential based” retail should remain resilient, especially compared to poorly-located assets with “commodity” tenants offering products easily sold online, such as apparel.
Finally, we like companies investing in their future growth through capital expenditures and research and development, rather than those focusing on shareholder returns. While companies with high shareholder returns have historically outperformed, those focused on investing for the future have outperformed significantly since 2016. We expect this performance trend to continue should economic growth remain solid.
All that said, 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.

MARKET REVIEW
Changes to the Funds’ Portfolio Management Team during the Reporting Period
Effective January 9, 2018, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) centralized its Fundamental Equity U.S. Value and Fundamental Equity U.S. Growth Teams into a single Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team. The Investment Adviser believes these changes will benefit the Funds by providing a more holistic investment perspective and the ability to leverage investment ideas across the U.S. Fundamental Equity platform.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund
Portfolio Composition
Effective after the close of business on October 31, 2017, 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) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments of “blue chip” companies. Blue chip companies are companies that, in the view of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”), enjoy characteristics that include strong market positions, seasoned management teams, solid financial fundamentals and high-quality reputations. Although blue chip companies generally have large or medium market capitalizations, the Investment Adviser may invest in companies that it believes have good, long-term prospects to become well-known, established or blue chip companies. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in foreign securities.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective after the close of business on October 31, 2017, Goldman Sachs Dynamic U.S. Equity Fund was re-named Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund and its principal investment strategy changed, as reflected above. Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Blue Chip Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 8.61%, 8.22%, 8.81%, 8.76%, 8.46% and 8.83%, respectively. These returns compare to the 10.84% 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 solid 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 also detracted from relative performance, albeit only modestly. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in industrials, health care and consumer staples detracted from the Fund’s relative results most. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were utilities, consumer discretionary and financials. Effective stock selection helped most in consumer discretionary. Having no exposure to utilities, which was the weakest sector in the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period, drove positive relative results in that sector. Positioning in the financials sector added value as well. |
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 S&P 500 Index were positions in diversified conglomerate General Electric, biotechnology company Shire and wireless communications and broadcast tower real estate investment trust (“REIT”) American Tower. |
| | General Electric announced earnings in October 2017 that missed market estimates on earnings per share, driven by weakness in its power and oil and gas segments. The company also cut its 2017 guidance, which caused the stock to decline. Its stock fell further in November 2017 as new restructuring and financial tightening goals were announced. General Electric reduced its dividend by 50% and announced plans to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power by selling or spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets. The company also announced intentions of changing the corporate culture to focus more on profitability, cash flow and execution. While we continued to believe the company was an attractively valued, high quality business, we felt its risk/reward prospects had shifted and |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| decided to exit the position. We believed the potential near-term volatility of the company’s shares outweighed the longer-term reward and decided to allocate the capital elsewhere. |
| | Most of Shire’s stock price decline during the Reporting Period came in 2018, with its stock declining early in January 2018 following a health care conference, where Shire announced the creation of two separate business divisions within the company—one focused on neuroscience, the other on rare diseases. During the conference, Shire also announced lower than previously company-expected revenue guidance for 2020. Shire and the health care sector overall also experienced weakness later in January 2018 driven by fears of competitive headwinds following the announcement by Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan to partner on health care. In February 2018, Shire reported mixed fourth quarter 2017 earnings, with sales and revenue guidance above market estimates. However, its margin guidance was lower than expected. Despite the volatility experienced by the stock during the Reporting Period, we continued to view the company at the end of the Reporting Period as a high quality business with opportunities in the rare diseases space, which we feel is one of the more attractive therapeutic areas. We also continued to feel that competitive concerns about its hemophilia business were overblown, as we believe it will likely take time for any new entrants to take market share in that space. In short, we remained positive on Shire at the end of the Reporting Period as a compelling growth business moving forward. |
| | Throughout the Reporting Period, American Tower’s stock experienced some volatility, as investors expected additional interest rate hikes in 2018, which could negatively affect REITs in general and the tower company in particular. The company also announced earnings at the end of February 2018 that were mixed, causing its stock to drop slightly. Despite the volatility around interest rates, we maintained our view at the end of the Reporting Period that American Tower may benefit 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, strong organic leasing growth and what we consider to be an attractive valuation relative to its peers, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that American Tower remained a high quality and durable growth company. |
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 payments company MasterCard, U.S.-based bank holding company Bank of America and technology hardware manufacturer Cisco Systems. |
| | MasterCard’s earnings announcements during the Reporting Period beat market estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, driven by higher processed transactions and an increase in gross dollar volume. Its stock also benefited from strong performance across the information technology sector and payment companies broadly during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on the company’s ability to grow its core payments business through new client wins as well as to further differentiate itself by expanding to new growth areas such as consumer credit and peer-to-peer lending. We also were positive both on the company’s plans to accelerate investments, driven by the savings from recent tax reform, and on what we see as MasterCard’s strong operating trends, which we believe position it well relative to competitors. |
| | In October 2017, Bank of America announced positive earnings that beat market estimates on earnings per share, driven primarily by strong net interest income and credit trends. Bank of America announced earnings again in January 2018 that were positive, with continued strong net interest income trends. Its shares also rose throughout the Reporting Period along with the financial sector broadly, which as a whole outpaced the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as it performed well even amongst its peers in the financials sector, due, in our view, to good banking fundamentals and its management’s emphasis on cost reductions. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Bank of America remained attractively valued and were positive on the company’s business outlook and its ability to capitalize on potentially higher growth and interest rates. |
| | Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and sells Internet Protocol-based networking products and services related to the communications and information technology industries. Shares of Cisco Systems rose in November 2017, as the company reported earnings that were generally in line with market expectations but with earnings per share coming in slightly higher. Much of its outperformance, in our view, was due to continued market optimism about Cisco Systems’ solid execution and progress around many of its key strategic |

| initiatives. Its stock also spiked in February 2018 when the company again reported strong quarterly earnings, beating market expectations on revenue and earnings per share. Its margins were also better than market expected, and its management gave higher future earnings guidance and announced a dividend increase. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the trajectory of the company, with its ongoing transition to a more recurring business model. We also continued to believe Cisco Systems is a high quality company, with what we consider to be its strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and proven business model positioning it well moving forward. At the end of the Reporting Period, Cisco Systems was paying an above-average dividend and was utilizing much of its free cash flow for stock buybacks. |
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 Chevron, a U.S.-based integrated energy company. We are positive on what we see as Chevron’s strong presence in the economically-sensitive Permian Basin and believe it may be well positioned to capitalize on potential North American oil production growth and increasing crude oil prices. We also believe the company has strong growth potential given its asset footprint and its stake in the Gorgon liquefied natural gas project. Further, we are positive on the company’s restructuring efforts and believe Chevron has a better mix of assets, including a richer mix of oil, than many of its peers. Finally, we believe Chevron has a strong balance sheet and pays an above-market dividend. |
| | We established a Fund position in Honeywell International, a diversified technology and manufacturing company, which offers aerospace products, power generation systems, specialty chemicals and electronic materials. We view Honeywell International as an attractively valued high quality growth business with a strong management team. Additionally, we believe improving organic growth trends and the potential for strategic actions presented an attractive opportunity. |
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of General Electric already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in global commodity and financial products marketplace operator Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”). During the Reporting Period, the U.S. Treasury Department published a report proposing several changes to the U.S. capital markets structure. We felt the uncertainty around the potential implications of such changes for ICE created a less compelling risk/reward opportunity. While we continue to believe ICE is a high quality growth company, we decided to sell the position given near-term uncertainties. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 9, 2018, John Arege no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund, and Sean Gallagher became a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. |
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, consumer staples, health care, industrials and telecommunication services increased and its allocations to financials and real estate decreased compared to the S&P 500 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 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the S&P 500 Index in consumer staples, consumer discretionary and industrials. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P 500 Index in financials and was rather neutrally weighted to the S&P 500 Index in energy, information technology, health care, materials, real estate and telecommunication services. The Fund had no position at all in utilities at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity investments. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity 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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 13.26%, 12.83%, 13.46%, 13.19%, 13.40%, 13.13% and 13.48%, respectively. These returns compare to the 13.94% 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 double-digit positive absolute returns, but it modestly underperformed the Russell Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period due to a combination of stock selection and sector allocation. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were real estate, health care and consumer discretionary, wherein weak stock selection drove results. Having an overweighted allocation to real estate, which posted a negative return during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in the financials and materials sectors, which contributed positively. Having an underweighted allocation to the consumer staples sector, which 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 | | Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Russell Index were positions in data center real estate investment trust (“REIT”) Equinix, enterprise software company Oracle and wireless communications and broadcast tower REIT American Tower. |
| | Shares of Equinix declined, as the data center REIT segment broadly was under pressure for much of the Reporting Period. Investors expected additional interest rate hikes in 2018, which could negatively impact REITs given their high yield component. More company specific, it was announced late in January 2018 that Equinix’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) had unexpectedly resigned effective immediately. Despite the macro concerns and the departure of its CEO, we maintained our belief at the end of the Reporting Period that Equinix is an asset with compelling upside to revenues and free cash flow should it continue to capitalize on secular trends in technology. |
| | Early in the Reporting Period, Oracle reported fiscal first quarter results that were solid. However, its shares reacted negatively, as the company’s management reduced its cloud revenue growth outlook for the next quarter and as its management did not reiterate its earnings growth outlook. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe Oracle is a high quality business, but we viewed its cloud business as being an important part of its growth story. Thus, this development led us to exit the Fund’s position in Oracle in favor of other companies we felt had more attractive growth prospects. |
11
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Throughout the Reporting Period, American Tower’s stock experienced some volatility, as investors expected additional interest rate hikes in 2018, which could negatively affect REITs in general and American Tower in particular. The company also announced earnings at the end of February 2018 that were mixed, causing its stock to drop slightly. Despite the volatility around interest rates, we maintained our view at the end of the Reporting Period that American Tower may benefit 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, strong organic leasing growth and what we consider to be an attractive valuation relative to its peers, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that American Tower remained a high quality and durable growth company. |
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 payments company MasterCard, aerospace and defense company Boeing and athletic footwear, apparel, equipment and accessories company Nike. |
| | MasterCard’s earnings announcements during the Reporting Period beat market estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, driven by higher processed transactions and an increase in gross dollar volume. Its stock also benefited from strong performance across the information technology sector and payment companies broadly during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on the company’s ability to grow its core payments business through new client wins as well as to further differentiate itself by expanding to new growth areas such as consumer credit and peer-to-peer lending. We also were positive both on the company’s plans to accelerate investments, driven by the savings from recent tax reform, and on what we see as MasterCard’s strong operating trends, which we believe position it well relative to competitors. |
| | Boeing’s stock price rose rather steadily early in the Reporting Period, as investors remained positive on the company’s ability to grow free cash flow through margin expansion. Its shares also rallied late in December 2017 when U.S. tax reform was signed into legislation. Finally, the company reported strong results in January 2018, including revenues that exceeded consensus estimates and strong guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic about what we view as the company’s strong productivity track record, multi-year commercial aircraft backlog and improving prospects in its defense business. Overall, we also remained positive on the company due to what we consider to be its strong competitive position, robust free cash flow and focus on shareholders through buybacks and distributions. |
| | At the end of October 2017, Nike’s stock spiked, as the company announced higher than market expectations for future earnings growth. Its stock continued to rise throughout November 2017, as the company announced an increase to its dividend. Also, Nike and the retail industry in general saw a boost from strong Black Friday sales numbers. The company subsequently announced earnings in December 2017 that were better than market expectations on total revenue but did disappoint slightly in North American sales. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on what we saw as the company’s ongoing focus on innovation and product development, which we believe has been stronger than in the recent past. In our view, Nike has a resilient business model, with diverse product offerings, global channels, market share gains and meaningful share buybacks. We also continued to believe the company is a best-in-class franchise in a structurally healthy and growing category and thus remained positive on Nike’s long-term growth potential. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in NVIDIA. The company designs and manufactures computer graphics processors, chipsets and other multimedia software. NVIDIA has what we consider to be a strong balance sheet and good free cash flow with a demonstrated track record of robust growth. We are positive on NVIDIA, believing it to be an industry leader in the semiconductor space with favorable growth prospects as the world increasingly moves toward big data. |
| | We established a Fund position in DowDuPont during the Reporting Period. The company engages in the development of specialty materials, chemicals and agricultural products. We believe the recently completed merger of the former companies, Dow Chemical and E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, presents an attractive opportunity for the newly |

| formed company to unlock operating synergies, decrease costs and deploy cash on high-return projects to potentially further improve profitability. Overall, we believe DowDuPont is well positioned to benefit from inflecting cyclical tailwinds across multiple business segments, as it works to improve its operations and unlock potential efficiencies. |
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of Oracle, mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in semiconductor company Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments was among the top positive contributors to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The company reported quarterly results at the end of October 2017 that beat market estimates on earnings per share and revenue, driven by strength in both its industrials and autos segments. Its stock rose further throughout the Reporting Period, as technology companies in general performed well. In January 2018, we decided to remove the position from the Fund’s portfolio. Since adding Texas Instruments, the company easily outperformed the broad U.S. equity market and the semiconductor industry. While we continued to like the company and believed it to be a strong franchise with good management and diversified business, we felt this Fund’s portfolio had other positions with more attractive risk/reward profiles going forward. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 9, 2018, Timothy M. Leahy no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund, and Sean Gallagher became a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. |
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, relative to the Russell Index, the |
| Fund’s allocations in health care, information technology and materials increased and its exposure to real estate decreased. 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 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in health care, real estate, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, information technology, industrials, energy, financials and materials and had no positions at all in utilities or telecommunication services at the end of the Reporting Period. |
|
|
In February 2018, the Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust approved certain changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategy and benchmark index. After the close of business on April 17, 2018, the Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 90-150 companies that are considered by the Investment Adviser to be positioned for long-term growth. The Fund will invest in both value and growth companies. The Fund’s fundamental equity investment process involves evaluating potential investments based on specific characteristics believed to indicate a high-quality business with sustainable growth, including strong business franchises, favorable long-term prospects, and excellent management. Effective the same date, the Fund’s benchmark index will change from the Russell 1000® Growth Index to the Russell 1000® Index. The Russell 1000® Index is an unmanaged market capitalization weighted index of the 1000 largest U.S. companies. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATION6 |
As of February 28, 2018 |

| 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 0.3% of the Fund’s net assets as of February 28, 2018. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

Goldman Sachs 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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity 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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team strives to purchase these companies at what it believes to be reasonable valuations in order to capture the full benefits of their growth.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 10.31%, 9.91%, 10.52%, 10.39%, 10.16% and 10.48%, respectively. These returns compare to the 13.94% 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 | | Most share classes of the Fund generated solid double-digit 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 from relative performance. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in the health care, industrials and real estate sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative results most during the Reporting Period. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were energy, materials and telecommunication services. Effective stock selection helped most in energy and materials. Having no exposure to telecommunication services, which was the second-weakest sector in 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 biopharmaceutical company Incyte, data center real estate investment trust (“REIT”) Equinix and biotechnology company Shire. |
| | Early in the Reporting Period, Incyte reported strong third quarter 2017 results. While there were no company specific reasons for its stock price’s decline during January 2018, the narrative centered around the upcoming data readout on Incyte’s melanoma drug, scheduled for later in the first quarter of 2018. Incyte’s marquee experimental cancer drug, epacadostat, was being tested in combination with Keytruda, Merck’s flagship cancer immunotherapy. The widespread hope was that a two-pronged combination approach would help cancer patients live longer. The treatment’s early promise built up anticipation but also deep uncertainty. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to like the company and believed recent positive data points position it well going into the readout. In our view, Incyte has a strong internal research and development capability that has produced a deep pipeline with many opportunities to grow revenues, positioning it well within its industry. |
| | Shares of Equinix declined, as the data center REIT segment broadly was under pressure for much of the Reporting |

| Period. Investors expected additional interest rate hikes in 2018, which could negatively impact REITs given their high yield component. More company specific, it was announced late in January 2018 that Equinix’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) had unexpectedly resigned effective immediately. Despite the macro concerns and the departure of its CEO, we maintained our belief at the end of the Reporting Period that Equinix is an asset with compelling upside to revenues and free cash flow should it continue to capitalize on secular trends in technology. |
| | Most of Shire’s stock price decline during the Reporting Period came in 2018, with its stock declining early in January 2018 following a health care conference, where Shire announced the creation of two separate business divisions within the company—one focused on neuroscience, the other on rare diseases. During the conference, Shire also announced lower than previously company-expected revenue guidance for 2020. Shire and the health care sector overall also experienced weakness later in January 2018 driven by fears of competitive headwinds following the announcement by Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan to partner on health care. In February 2018, Shire reported mixed fourth quarter 2017 earnings, with sales and revenue guidance above market estimates. However, its margin guidance was lower than expected. Despite the volatility experienced by the stock during the Reporting Period, we continued to view the company at the end of the Reporting Period as a high quality business with opportunities in the rare diseases space, which we feel is one of the more attractive therapeutic areas. We also continued to feel that competitive concerns about its hemophilia business were overblown, as we believe it will likely take time for any new entrants to take market share in that space. In short, we remained positive on Shire at the end of the Reporting Period as a compelling growth business moving 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 technology hardware manufacturer Cisco Systems, payments company MasterCard and oil and natural gas producer Diamondback Energy. |
| | We initiated a new Fund position in Cisco Systems early in the Reporting Period. Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and sells Internet Protocol-based networking products and services related to the communications and information technology industries. In May 2017, prior to the start of the Reporting Period, its shares had dropped sharply, as the company announced earnings better than market estimates on revenue and earnings per share but with guidance lower than market expectations. Following the decline, we believed the company’s shares were attractively valued and took the opportunity to initiate a Fund position. Shares of Cisco Systems rose in November 2017, as the company reported earnings that were generally in line with market expectations but with earnings per share coming in slightly higher. Much of its outperformance, in our view, was due to continued market optimism about Cisco Systems’ solid execution and progress around many of its key strategic initiatives. Its stock also spiked in February 2018 when the company again reported strong quarterly earnings, beating market expectations on revenue and earnings per share. Its margins were also better than market expected, and its management gave higher future earnings guidance and announced a dividend increase. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the trajectory of the company, with its ongoing transition to a more recurring business model. We also continued to believe Cisco Systems is a high quality company, with what we consider to be its strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and proven business model positioning it well moving forward. At the end of the Reporting Period, Cisco Systems was paying an above-average dividend and was utilizing much of its free cash flow for stock buybacks. |
| | MasterCard’s earnings announcements during the Reporting Period beat market estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, driven by higher processed transactions and an increase in gross dollar volume. Its stock also benefited from strong performance across the information technology sector and payment companies broadly during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on the company’s ability to grow its core payments business through new client wins as well as to further differentiate itself by expanding to new growth areas such as consumer credit and peer-to-peer lending. We also were positive both on the company’s plans to accelerate investments, driven by the savings from recent tax reform, and on what we see as MasterCard’s strong operating trends, which we believe position it well relative to competitors. |
| | Shares of Diamondback Energy gained modestly in October 2017 following the company’s earnings announcement. The company exceeded market expectations on earnings per share and raised its full-year production guidance. Much of the stock’s gains, however, came as crude oil prices increased, leading American oil exports to reach record levels. At the end of the Reporting Period, we |
18
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| believed Diamondback Energy would likely continue to benefit from its prime acreage in the Permian region of West Texas, which we view as presenting a long runway for consistent and robust earnings growth potential. Overall, we viewed the company as a well-capitalized oil and natural gas producer with superior land and a strong management team. |
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 Cisco Systems, mentioned earlier, we initiated a Fund position in integrated circuit manufacturer Analog Devices during the Reporting Period. The company engages in the design and manufacturing of analog, mixed signal and digital signal processing integrated circuits used in many types of electronic equipment. We feel the company has an attractive revenue growth and margin profile and has lagged the industry in recent years, presenting, in our view, an attractive buying opportunity. |
| | Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in media and entertainment company Walt Disney Co. (“Disney”). While we continue to feel Disney has a strong brand name with good fundamentals and a commitment to share buybacks, we became less positive on the company moving forward given increasing competition and cord-cutting headwinds. (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 therefore decided to exit the position and allocate the capital to other ideas with what we considered to be more compelling risk/reward profiles. |
| | We exited the Fund’s position in semiconductor company Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments was among the top positive contributors to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The company reported quarterly results at the end of October 2017 that beat market estimates on earnings per share and revenue, driven by strength in both its industrials and autos segments. Its stock rose further throughout the Reporting Period, as technology companies in general performed well. In January 2018, we decided to remove the position from the Fund’s portfolio. Since adding Texas Instruments, the company easily outperformed the broad U.S. equity market and the semiconductor industry. While we continued to like the company and believed it to be a strong franchise with good management and diversified business, we felt this Fund’s portfolio had other positions with more attractive risk/reward profiles going forward. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 9, 2018, Timothy M. Leahy no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. |
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 health care, industrials and information technology increased and its allocations to consumer discretionary, consumer staples, financials, materials and real estate 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 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the consumer staples, health care, energy and real estate sectors. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted relative to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, information technology, financials and industrials and had no positions at all in the utilities, telecommunication services and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund
Portfolio Composition
Effective after the close of business on August 31, 2017, the Fund continues to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at time of purchase) in equity investments in small-, mid- and large-cap issuers. The Fund’s new strategy continues to rely on fundamental analysis that provides for bottom-up security selection. This strategy is now combined with a quantitative risk allocation process that is used to assist portfolio construction and trading decisions.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective after the close of business on August 31, 2017, Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Growth Fund was re-named Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund, its principal strategy was changed, as reflected above, and its benchmark was changed to the S&P 500 Index. Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Flexible Cap Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 10.75%, 10.38%, 10.96%, 10.88%, 10.59% and 10.95%, respectively. These returns compare to the 10.84% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “S&P 500 Index”), during the same period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the Russell 3000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested), returned 10.45% for the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most share classes of the Fund performed in line with the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period, attributable primarily to effective stock selection overall. Sector allocation as a whole had a rather neutral effect on relative results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were industrials, utilities and materials. Effective stock selection drove results in the industrials and materials sectors. Having no allocation to utilities, which was the weakest sector in the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period, drove results in this sector. The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were energy and consumer discretionary, wherein stock selection proved challenging. Having an underweighted allocation to information technology, which was the strongest sector in the S&P 500 Index during the Reporting Period, also dampened relative results. |
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 500 Index were positions in diversified conglomerate General Electric, integrated energy giant Exxon Mobil and aerospace and defense company Boeing. |
| General Electric was a top contributor to the Fund’s relative results because the Fund had an underweighted position in the company and the company performed poorly. General Electric, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, announced earnings in October 2017 that missed market estimates on earnings per share, driven by weakness in its power and oil and gas segments. The company also cut its 2017 guidance, which caused the stock to decline. Its stock fell further in November 2017 as new restructuring and financial tightening goals were announced. General Electric reduced its dividend by 50% and announced plans to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power by selling or spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets. The company also announced intentions of changing the corporate culture to focus more on profitability, cash flow |

| and execution. While we continued to believe the company was an attractively valued, high quality business, we felt its risk/reward prospects had shifted and decided to exit the position. We believed the potential near-term volatility of its shares outweighed the longer-term reward and decided to allocate the capital elsewhere. |
| Exxon Mobil was also a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. In October 2017, the company announced quarterly results that were better than market expectations on earnings per share with strong free cash flow generation. The company also enjoyed strong performance throughout the Reporting Period as oil prices rose. In January 2018, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in Exxon Mobil. We had purchased the stock as we were positive on the company’s integrated business model and its management team’s ability to identify value accretive acquisitions. While we continued to believe Exxon Mobil is a high quality company, we became less optimistic on its restructuring process as well as on its narrower mix of assets. We therefore decided to sell the position to reflect our risk/reward views. |
| Boeing’s stock price rose rather steadily early in the Reporting Period, as investors remained positive on the company’s ability to grow free cash flow through margin expansion. Its shares also rallied late in December 2017 when U.S. tax reform was signed into legislation. Finally, the company reported strong results in January 2018, including revenues that exceeded consensus estimates and strong guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic about what we view as the company’s strong productivity track record, multi-year commercial aircraft backlog and improving prospects in its defense business. Overall, we also remained positive on the company due to what we consider to be its strong competitive position, robust free cash flow and focus on shareholders through buybacks and distributions. |
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 500 Index were positions in semiconductor company Intel, branded online travel services provider Expedia and biopharmaceutical company Incyte. |
| Intel’s stock experienced strong performance during the Reporting Period. However, the Fund only owned it for a portion of the time, resulting in an underweight position and thus causing it to detract from relative results. The strong performance of Intel’s stock was driven by back-to-back strong earnings results reported in October 2017 and January 2018 as well as by strength in the information technology sector broadly. While we remained positive on Intel’s data center business and improved cost controls, we exited the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period in favor of what we believed to be better risk/reward opportunities elsewhere. |
| In late October 2017, shares of Expedia came under pressure following a disappointing earnings release in which the company missed market expectations for both earnings and revenues while also lowering its full-year earnings guidance. The weaker than market expected results were explained by the company to be, in part, driven by soft bookings caused by the fall 2017 hurricanes. Lower than expected cash flows from its Trivago business also drew investor concern. Expedia’s share price declined again in February 2018 following another disappointing earnings release. While the company reported strong booked room nights, investors reacted negatively to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) well below market estimates. The results were explained by the company to be driven by its increase in investments in efforts to increase hotel supply, improve its marketing efforts and expand its infrastructure capabilities via the cloud. We believe these are high return on equity investments that should continue, in our view, to position the company well in the long term. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained confident in Expedia’s long-term growth prospects should it continue to strategically invest. |
| Early in the Reporting Period, Incyte reported strong third quarter 2017 results. While there were no company specific reasons for its stock price’s decline during January 2018, the narrative centered around the upcoming data readout on Incyte’s melanoma drug, scheduled for later in the first quarter of 2018. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to like the company and believed recent positive data points position it well going into the readout. In our view, Incyte has a strong internal research and development capability that has produced a deep pipeline with many opportunities to grow revenues, positioning it well within its industry. |
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. |
24
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to those purchases mentioned earlier, we established a Fund position in financial services and banking institution JPMorgan Chase, an addition attributed primarily to the Fund’s benchmark change to the S&P 500 Index. We are positive on the company’s ability to grow loans and gain market share. We are also encouraged by its management’s focus on utilizing technology to reduce costs and improve efficiency across business lines. Overall, we are positive on the company’s business outlook, and, at the time of purchase, we found the stock compelling from a risk/reward perspective. |
| Similarly, we initiated a Fund position in Bank of America given the Fund’s benchmark change. We are positive on the company as it has performed well even amongst its peers in the financials sector, due, in our view, to good banking fundamentals and its management’s emphasis on cost reductions. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Bank of America remained attractively valued and were positive on the company’s business outlook and its ability to capitalize on potentially higher growth and interest rates. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we sold the Fund’s position in multinational conglomerate 3M. In our view, 3M is currently undergoing a transition with revised earnings, particularly in its electronics business. We believe this is being driven by customers moving away from light-emitting diode (“LED”) to organic light-emitting diode (“OLED”) devices in televisions and smartphones. We think this trend will likely add headwinds to the company’s earnings in the near term. Thus, we exited the position to invest in what we consider to be relatively more attractive risk/reward ideas. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in cooking equipment manufacturer Middleby given the change in benchmark to the S&P 500 Index. With no reflection on our views on the company, we sold the position to allocate the proceeds to other names more in line with the new benchmark. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective August 31, 2017, Silverio Foresi became a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry continues to serve as a portfolio manager of the Fund. |
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 staples, financials, energy and telecommunication services increased and its allocations to information technology, health care, consumer discretionary, industrials and real estate decreased relative to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s position in cash decreased during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the S&P 500 Index in financials and was rather neutrally weighted to the S&P 500 Index in the remaining sectors of the S&P 500 Index with the exception of utilities to which the Fund had no exposure at all at the end of the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests primarily in medium-sized growth companies with a market capitalization between $1 billion and $10 billion. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity 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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 11.06%, 10.65%, 11.24%, 10.97%, 11.22%, 10.95% and 11.27%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.40% 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 double-digit 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 from relative performance, albeit 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 consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology sectors. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were materials, consumer staples 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 branded online travel services provider Expedia, telecommunication services company Altice USA and entertainment software company Electronic Arts. |
| | In late October 2017, shares of Expedia came under pressure following a disappointing earnings release in which the company missed market expectations for both earnings and revenues while also lowering its full-year earnings guidance. The weaker than market expected results were explained by the company to be, in part, driven by soft bookings caused by the fall 2017 hurricanes. Lower than expected cash flows from its Trivago business also drew investor concern. Expedia’s share price declined again in February 2018 following another disappointing earnings release. While the company reported strong booked room nights, investors reacted negatively to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) well below market estimates. The results were explained by the company to be driven by its increase in investments in efforts to increase hotel supply, improve its marketing efforts and expand its infrastructure capabilities via the cloud. We believe these are high return on equity investments that should continue, in our view, to position the company well in the long term. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we |
29
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| remained confident in Expedia’s long-term growth prospects should it continue to strategically invest. |
| | Altice USA provides cable and fiber infrastructure for broadband communications. In November 2017, the company reported solid earnings. However, its stock traded down largely driven, in our view, by its association with its French parent company, which owns approximately 70% of Altice USA. The parent company’s shares declined sharply during November 2017, as it reported third quarter 2017 results less than market expectations and provided a weaker outlook. Later in the Reporting Period, we decided to exit the position, as we felt the risk/reward profile of the company had become less compelling. |
| | Electronic Arts announced earnings at the end of October 2017 in line with market expectations but did give slightly lower guidance for the following quarter. Its share price also came under pressure after the company temporarily suspended in-game purchases for its Star Wars Battlefront 2 game following a negative response from users regarding its micro-transaction methods. Later in the Reporting Period, Electronic Arts reported earnings in line with market expectations, results that alleviated investor fears following the challenged Star Wars game release. Following the positive move in its share price, we exited the Fund’s position in Electronic Arts in favor of what we viewed as other high quality growth companies at compelling valuations. |
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 pet food company Blue Buffalo Pet Products, labeling and packaging company Avery Dennison and oil and natural gas producer Diamondback Energy. |
| | Shares of Blue Buffalo Pet Products spiked late in the Reporting Period following the announcement that General Mills was planning to purchase the pet food company for a considerable premium. In our view, Blue Buffalo Pet Products is a high quality growth company in the consumer space that was taking positive steps to expand its e-commerce capabilities. We believe the proposed premium being paid for the company is positive recognition of some of the characteristics we favored in the company. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to monitor the position as the acquisition nears completion. |
| | Shares of Avery Dennison rose rather steadily during the Reporting Period, as the company reported earnings and sales growth that exceeded investor expectations. The accelerating growth in its core business was explained by the company to be driven by its gaining of market share. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Avery Dennison remained a high quality company led by a management team that has demonstrated an ability to deliver consistent growth in a challenged space. |
| | Shares of Diamondback Energy gained modestly in October 2017 following the company’s earnings announcement. The company exceeded market expectations on earnings per share and raised its full-year production guidance. Much of the stock’s gains, however, came as crude oil prices increased, leading American oil exports to reach record levels. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Diamondback Energy would likely continue to benefit from its prime acreage in the Permian region of West Texas, which we view as presenting a long runway for consistent and robust earnings growth potential. Overall, we viewed the company as a well-capitalized oil and natural gas producer with superior land and a strong management team. |
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 re-initiated a Fund position in financial services technology company Fidelity National Information Services, having sold the Fund’s position in the company during the prior Reporting Period. The company focuses on retail and institutional banking, payments, asset and wealth management, risk and compliance, consulting and outsourcing solutions. We are positive on the company’s strong earnings and cash flow growth potential and believe a recent pull-back in its stock presented a renewed favorable risk/reward opportunity going forward. We further believe the company may be a beneficiary of tax reform, as it is focused on returning capital to shareholders through stock buybacks. |
| | We established a Fund position in Hilton Worldwide Holdings, a leading global hospitality company. We are positive on what we view as its strong growth algorithm driven by both its project pipeline and ongoing international presence. We further believe Hilton Worldwide Holdings’ asset-light model positions it well for strong fee growth and margin expansion. Overall, we believe the company is a high |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| quality franchise with favorable growth prospects, and we like its track record of return capital to its shareholders. |
| | Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in global commodity and financial products marketplace operator Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”). During the Reporting Period, the U.S. Treasury Department published a report proposing several changes to the U.S. capital markets structure. We felt the uncertainty around the potential implications of such changes for ICE created a less compelling risk/reward opportunity. While we continue to believe ICE is a high quality growth company, we decided to sell the position given near-term uncertainties. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in home and office consumer products retailer Newell Brands. At the end of the third quarter of 2017, the company lowered its full-year earnings guidance due to Hurricane Harvey, which affected much of its Texas- and Louisiana-based manufacturing supply chain. Amidst a challenged consumer packaged goods space and increasing uncertainties around the business, we decided to exit the position and reallocate the capital to higher conviction names. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
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 increased and its allocations to financials, industrials 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 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Russell Index in the health care and financials sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary and real estate. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Index in consumer staples, information technology, materials, energy and industrials 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 $30 million and $60 billion. Since the Fund’s inception, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity 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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 12.20%, 11.75%, 12.36%, 12.14%, 12.33%, 12.03% and 12.35%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.52% 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 double-digit absolute returns, but sector allocation as a whole detracted modestly from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection overall contributed positively to relative performance. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting from relative results most during the Reporting Period were industrials, health care and financials, wherein stock selection was challenging. Effective stock selection in the consumer staples, real estate and consumer discretionary sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an underweighted allocation to real estate, the weakest sector in 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 oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company TESARO, behavioral health care services company Acadia Healthcare and digital printing company Electronics for Imaging. |
| | TESARO engages in the research and development of biopharmaceutical products. Its share price declined sharply in November 2017 in response to increased competition for its poly ADP ribose polymerase (“PARP”), an enzyme, inhibitor product. During the Reporting Period, its competitor received surprising approval from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for a similar product. Despite the news of increased competition, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that TESARO has a deep product pipeline that could provide meaningful upside. We also believe its stock’s valuation did not fully account for its potential earnings growth drivers. |
| | Acadia Healthcare’s stock traded down sharply following a challenging third quarter 2017 earnings release that missed market expectations and lowered its guidance. The disappointing results were driven by weakness in its U.K. business due to staffing pressures explained by the company to be in part the ripple effect of Brexit. The company is also not expected to be a significant beneficiary of U.S. tax reform, as it is slightly more levered than its peers. Despite the near-term headwinds, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that secular demand remained strong in the |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| behavioral health care space. We also viewed this industry as being capacity-constrained as it is typically challenging to open these types of facilities. |
| | At the end of October 2017, Electronics for Imaging announced results that were lower than market estimates on both earnings per share and revenue and also cut fourth quarter 2017 guidance, causing its stock to decline sharply. While we believe the company could potentially benefit from favorable secular trends as analog continues to shift toward digital printing, we felt recent management missteps set up a less favorable risk/reward profile, and we therefore decided to exit the position and allocate capital elsewhere. |
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 medical device company ABIOMED, ingredients and distillery products producer MGP Ingredients and oil and natural gas producer Diamondback Energy. |
| | ABIOMED specializes in medical devices relating to heart issues. During the Reporting Period, the company announced strong results led by accelerating revenue growth, as hospital purchasing continues to shift toward ABIOMED’s technology, which has produced better patient outcomes and reduced hospital stays. The company’s organic growth appeared to be driven by strength across geographies. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as we believe its technology is still in the its early innings and could present a long runway for growth. We also believe its technology is highly differentiated and has limited competition and attractive margins. |
| | MGP Ingredients reported strong third quarter 2017 results in November 2017, causing its stock to jump in price. Its earnings per share beat market estimates, driven by strong top-line revenue and better gross margins. Its net sales also grew due to robust sales of premium beverage alcohol. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the company and its ability to increase its margins, reflecting a favorable mix shift among beverages as well as increased demand for the company’s premium alcohol, whiskey, vodka and gin offerings. We believed the company had a strong management team and multiple opportunities to grow and capture market share. |
| | Shares of Diamondback Energy gained modestly in October 2017 following the company’s earnings announcement. The company exceeded market expectations on earnings per share and raised its full-year production guidance. Much of the stock’s gains, however, came as crude oil prices increased, leading American oil exports to reach record levels. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Diamondback Energy would likely continue to benefit from its prime acreage in the Permian region of West Texas, which we view as presenting a long runway for consistent and robust earnings growth potential. Overall, we viewed the company as a well-capitalized oil and natural gas producer with superior land and a strong management team. |
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 semiconductor producer Marvell Technology Group. The company has lagged its competitors in recent years due, in our view, to questionable asset allocation strategies, poor operating expense management and accounting and legal issues. The company recently appointed new members to its management team, who we believe can help the company’s performance turn around. We believe its management team has significant opportunities to accelerate revenues, expand margins and improve capital allocation decisions. Marvell Technology Group’s core businesses of storage and networking should, we believe, benefit from the secular growth of data demand consumption. Additionally, we believe there is upside potential in its recent acquisition of Cavium through cost and revenue synergies, as the companies have complementary customer bases, in our view. Overall, we believe Marvell Technology Group is an attractively valued company with a high quality management team that is positioned to benefit from several secular growth themes. |
| | We established a Fund position in Proofpoint during the Reporting Period. Proofpoint is a security and compliance company that engages in the provision of cloud-based solutions. We believe Proofpoint could be a beneficiary of increased security spending, as companies focus more on cyber security measures given recent breaches. Further, we are positive on the company’s additional new products story, which, we believe, is beginning to resonate with existing customers. We also believe the company has a strong management team and represents, in our view, a solid multi-year growth story. |

| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of Electronics for Imaging, mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in WABCO Holdings, a global leader in technology in the trucking industry. Following strong 2017 performance, we decided to eliminate the position as increasing uncertainties around both the regulatory landscape and international demand set up a less compelling risk/reward opportunity, in our view. While we continue to believe WABCO Holdings has strong research and development capabilities, we decided to sell the position and reallocate the capital to names in which we have higher conviction. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
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 and financials increased and its allocations to health care and industrials decreased relative to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had overweighted positions 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 industrials, materials and real estate. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, information technology, consumer staples and health care and had no positions at all in telecommunication services and utilities at the end of the Reporting Period. |

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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity 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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R6 and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 12.69%, 12.27%, 12.93%, 12.72%, 12.87%, 12.66% and 12.96%, respectively. These returns compare to the 13.94% 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 double-digit absolute gains, 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. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Challenging stock selection in health care, consumer staples and real estate detracted from the Fund’s relative results most during the Reporting Period. The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were consumer discretionary, energy and materials, 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 biopharmaceutical company Incyte, data center real estate investment trust (“REIT”) Equinix and biotechnology company Shire. |
| | Early in the Reporting Period, Incyte reported strong third quarter 2017 results. While there were no company specific reasons for its stock price’s decline during January 2018, the narrative centered around the upcoming data readout on Incyte’s melanoma drug, scheduled for later in the first quarter of 2018. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to like the company and believed recent positive data points position it well going into the readout. In our view, Incyte has a strong internal research and development capability that has produced a deep pipeline with many opportunities to grow revenues, positioning it well within its industry. |
| | Shares of Equinix declined, as the data center REIT segment broadly was under pressure for much of the Reporting Period. Investors expected additional interest rate hikes in 2018, which could negatively impact REITs given their high yield component. More company specific, it was announced late in January 2018 that Equinix’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) had unexpectedly resigned effective immediately. Despite the macro concerns and the departure of its CEO, we maintained our belief at the end of the Reporting Period that Equinix is an asset with compelling upside to revenues and free cash flow should it continue to capitalize on secular trends in technology. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Most of Shire’s stock price decline during the Reporting Period came in 2018, with its stock declining early in January 2018 following a health care conference, where Shire announced the creation of two separate business divisions within the company—one focused on neuroscience, the other on rare diseases. During the conference, Shire also announced lower than previously company-expected revenue guidance for 2020. Shire and the health care sector overall also experienced weakness later in January 2018 driven by fears of competitive headwinds following the announcement by Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan to partner on health care. In February 2018, Shire reported mixed fourth quarter 2017 earnings, with sales and revenue guidance above market estimates. However, its margin guidance was lower than expected. Despite the volatility experienced by the stock during the Reporting Period, we continued to view the company at the end of the Reporting Period as a high quality business with opportunities in the rare diseases space, which we feel is one of the more attractive therapeutic areas. We also continued to feel that competitive concerns about its hemophilia business were overblown, as we believe it will likely take time for any new entrants to take market share in that space. In short, we remained positive on Shire at the end of the Reporting Period as a compelling growth business moving forward. |
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 technology hardware manufacturer Cisco Systems, payments company MasterCard and oil and natural gas producer Diamondback Energy. |
| | We initiated a new Fund position in Cisco Systems early in the Reporting Period. Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and sells Internet Protocol-based networking products and services related to the communications and information technology industries. In May 2017, prior to the start of the Reporting Period, its shares had dropped sharply, as the company announced earnings better than market estimates on revenue and earnings per share but with guidance lower than market expectations. Following the decline, we believed the company’s shares were attractively valued and took the opportunity to initiate a Fund position. Shares of Cisco Systems rose in November 2017, as the company reported earnings that were generally in line with market expectations but with earnings per share coming in slightly higher. Much of its outperformance, in our view, was due to continued market optimism about Cisco Systems’ solid execution and progress around many of its key strategic initiatives. Its stock also spiked in February 2018 when the company again reported strong quarterly earnings, beating market expectations on revenue and earnings per share. Its margins were also better than market expected, and its management gave higher future earnings guidance and announced a dividend increase. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the trajectory of the company, with its ongoing transition to a more recurring business model. We also continued to believe Cisco Systems is a high quality company, with what we consider to be its strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and proven business model positioning it well moving forward. At the end of the Reporting Period, Cisco Systems was paying an above-average dividend and was utilizing much of its free cash flow for stock buybacks. |
| | MasterCard’s earnings announcements during the Reporting Period beat market estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, driven by higher processed transactions and an increase in gross dollar volume. Its stock also benefited from strong performance across the information technology sector and payment companies broadly during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on the company’s ability to grow its core payments business through new client wins as well as to further differentiate itself by expanding to new growth areas such as consumer credit and peer-to-peer lending. We also were positive both on the company’s plans to accelerate investments, driven by the tax savings from recent tax reform, and on what we see as MasterCard’s strong operating trends, which we believe position it well relative to competitors. |
| | Shares of Diamondback Energy gained modestly in October 2017 following the company’s earnings announcement. The company exceeded market expectations on earnings per share and raised its full-year production guidance. Much of the stock’s gains, however, came as crude oil prices increased, leading American oil exports to reach record levels. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Diamondback Energy would likely continue to benefit from its prime acreage in the Permian region of West Texas, which we view as presenting a long runway for consistent and robust earnings growth potential. Overall, we viewed the company as a well-capitalized oil and natural gas producer with superior land and a strong management team. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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 integrated circuit manufacturer Analog Devices. The company engages in the design and manufacturing of analog, mixed signal and digital signal processing integrated circuits used in many types of electronic equipment. We feel the company has an attractive revenue growth and margin profile and has lagged the industry in recent years, presenting, in our view, an attractive buying opportunity. |
| | We initiated a Fund position in courier delivery services company FedEx during the Reporting Period. We believe FedEx is a high quality growth company positioned well to benefit from secular growth themes as well as company-specific actions. We believe there are multiple growth catalysts for FedEx, as the company works to expand its margins through improved free cash flow conversion, led by organic growth and increased cost synergies from past acquisitions. |
| | Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in media and entertainment company Walt Disney Co. (“Disney”). While we continue to feel Disney has a strong brand name with good fundamentals and a commitment to share buybacks, we became less positive on the company moving forward given increasing competition and cord-cutting headwinds. (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 therefore decided to exit the position and allocate the capital to other ideas with what we considered to be more compelling risk/reward profiles. |
| | We exited the Fund’s position in semiconductor company Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments was among the top positive contributors to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The company reported quarterly results at the end of October 2017 that beat market estimates on earnings per share and revenue, driven by strength in both its industrials and autos segments. Its stock rose further throughout the Reporting Period, as technology companies in general performed well. In January 2018, we decided to remove the position from the Fund’s portfolio. Since adding Texas Instruments, the company easily outperformed the broad U.S. equity market and the semiconductor industry. While we continued to like the company and believed it to be a strong franchise with good management and diversified business, we felt this Fund’s portfolio had other positions with more attractive risk/reward profiles going forward. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 9, 2018, Timothy M. Leahy no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Stephen E. Becker continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. |
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 materials 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 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had an underweighted position compared to the Russell Index in information technology. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted in the remaining sectors of the Russell Index, with the exceptions of telecommunication services and utilities where the Fund had no positions at all at the end of the Reporting Period. |

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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Technology Opportunities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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 Investor Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 16.77%, 16.35%, 17.00%, 16.71% and 16.92%, respectively. These returns compare to the 21.11% 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. |
| | The Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 9.65% since their inception on December 29, 2017 through February 28, 2018. This compares to the 10.08% cumulative total return of 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 posted robust double-digit absolute gains but underperformed the S&P Technology Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period due to a combination of sector allocation and stock selection overall. |
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 having exposure to the real estate sector, which is not a component of the S&P Technology Index and which significantly underperformed the S&P Technology Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors also hurt the Fund’s relative results. Partially offsetting these detractors was the modestly positive contribution made by having an underweighted exposure to financials, which is not a component of the S&P Technology Index and which lagged the S&P Technology Index during the Reporting Period. |
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 (“REIT”) American Tower, data center REIT Equinix and branded online travel services provider Expedia. |
| | Throughout the Reporting Period, American Tower’s stock experienced some volatility, as investors expected additional interest rate hikes in 2018, which could negatively affect REITs in general and the tower company in particular. The company also announced earnings at the end of February 2018 that were mixed, causing its stock to drop slightly. Despite the volatility around interest rates, we maintained our view at the end of the Reporting Period that American Tower may benefit 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, strong organic leasing growth and what we consider to be an attractive valuation relative to its peers, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that American Tower remained a high quality and durable growth company. |
| | Shares of Equinix declined, as the data center REIT segment broadly was under pressure for much of the Reporting Period. Investors expected additional interest rate hikes in 2018, which could negatively impact REITs given their high yield component. More company specific, it was announced late in January 2018 that Equinix’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) had unexpectedly resigned effective immediately. Despite the macro concerns and the departure of its CEO, we maintained our belief at the end of the Reporting Period that Equinix is an asset with compelling upside to revenues and free cash flow should it continue to capitalize on secular trends in technology. |
| | In late October 2017, shares of Expedia came under pressure following a disappointing earnings release in which the company missed market expectations for both earnings and revenues while also lowering its full-year earnings guidance. The weaker than market expected results were explained by the company to be, in part, driven by soft bookings caused by the fall 2017 hurricanes. Lower than expected cash flows from its Trivago business also drew investor concern. Expedia’s share price declined again in February 2018 following another disappointing earnings release. While the company reported strong booked room nights, investors reacted negatively to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) well below market estimates. The results were explained by the company to be driven by its increase in investments in efforts to increase hotel supply, improve its marketing efforts and expand its infrastructure capabilities via the cloud. We believe these are high return on equity investments that should continue, in our view, to position the company well in the long term. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained confident in Expedia’s long-term growth prospects should it continue to strategically invest. |
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 cloud-based services provider ServiceNow, semiconductor company Texas Instruments and software solutions developer Splunk. |
| ServiceNow provides cloud-based services to automate enterprise information technology operations. Its shares rose rather steadily through the Reporting Period, as the company announced strong results despite heightened expectations by investors. In particular, ServiceNow grew billings and subscriptions at what many investors considered to be impressive levels. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as we believe it continued to execute on its mission to bring superior functionality to its clients while also offering new products to its deep base of existing partners. We were also positive on ServiceNow as it works to invest at levels needed to sustain its current pace of growth. We believe the company has matured to the point it can create and execute long-term growth plans given what we see as its strong management team. |
| | Texas Instruments reported quarterly results at the end of October 2017 that beat market estimates on earnings per share and revenue, driven by strength in both its industrials and autos segments. Its stock rose further throughout the Reporting Period, as technology companies in general performed well. In January 2018, we decided to remove the position from the Fund’s portfolio. Since adding Texas Instruments, the company easily outperformed the broad U.S. equity market and the semiconductor industry. While we continued to like the company and believed it to be a strong franchise with good management and diversified business, we felt this Fund’s portfolio had other positions with more attractive risk/reward profiles going forward. |
| | Shares of Splunk spiked in November 2017 following reports of third quarter 2017 results that were well ahead of market expectations. Specifically, revenues, margins and profitability were better than the market expected. Importantly, the company also reported a solid outlook for its revenues and margins. Its shares continued to rise during the Reporting Period, as investors remained positive on the secular growth themes they expected to act as tailwinds for the company going forward. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on Splunk as what we view as one of the best secular platforms in technology. Our view is driven by the strength of Splunk’s partnerships with Amazon’s Web Services (“AWS”) and a growing global presence with service integrators like Accenture. Finally, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Splunk was well positioned to benefit from growing demand in web analytics and cybersecurity. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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 integrated circuit manufacturer Analog Devices during the Reporting Period. The company engages in the design and manufacturing of analog, mixed signal and digital signal processing integrated circuits used in many types of electronic equipment. We feel the company has an attractive revenue growth and margin profile and has lagged the industry in recent years, presenting, in our view, an attractive buying opportunity. |
| | We established a Fund position in semiconductor producer Marvell Technology Group. The company has lagged its competitors in recent years due, in our view, to questionable asset allocation strategies, poor operating expense management and accounting and legal issues. The company recently appointed new members to its management team, who we believe can help the company’s performance turn around. We believe its management team has significant opportunities to accelerate revenues, expand margins and improve capital allocation decisions. Marvell Technology Group’s core businesses of storage and networking should, we believe, benefit from the secular growth of data demand consumption. Additionally, we believe there is upside potential in its recent acquisition of Cavium through cost and revenue synergies, as the companies have complementary customer bases, in our view. Overall, we believe Marvell Technology Group is an attractively valued company with a high quality management team that is positioned to benefit from several secular growth themes. |
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of Texas Instruments mentioned earlier, we exited the Fund’s position in SBA Communications, a REIT that engages in the provision and ownership of wireless communications infrastructures. Following strong 2017 performance and what we viewed as a less favorable environment for REITs given their sensitivity to rising interest rates, we decided to sell the position. While we continue to like the company and believe it is well positioned to benefit from secular growth themes, we felt there were other companies that presented more attractive risk/reward profiles. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 9, 2018, Lawrence Tankel and Jonathan A. Nietzell no longer served as portfolio managers for the Fund, and Sung Cho and Charles “Brook” Dane became portfolio managers for the Fund. Steven M. Barry and Michael DeSantis continue to serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. |
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 relative to the S&P Technology Index. The Fund’s position in cash also increased during the Reporting Period; its exposure to health care increased; and its exposure to financials and real estate decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund’s was underweighted relative to the S&P Technology Index in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors, the only two components of the S&P Technology Index. On the same date, the Fund had exposure to the health care and real estate sectors. The Fund had no exposure to the financials or telecommunication services sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

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, 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency, Service and Shareholder Administration fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund 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, 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 |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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’ 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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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.

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 Fund’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 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.

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, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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 Blue Chip, Capital Growth, Concentrated Growth, Flexible Cap, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Strategic Growth, and Technology Opportunities Funds are 0.084%, 0.004%, 0.004%, 0.004%, 0.014%, 0.064%, 0.004%, and 0.004%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018, 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, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Transfer Agency Fee Waivers/Credits | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Expense Reductions | |

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
G. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2018, 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, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 28, 2018, Goldman Sachs did not earn any brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Funds.

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.

6. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
The Capital Growth, Growth Opportunities, Small/Mid Cap Growth and Strategic Growth Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the 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 a management fee of up to 0.16% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management 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 was 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, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 28, 2018, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Each of the 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, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2018:

As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2017, the Funds’ certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:

| | Blue Chip | | | Capital Growth | | | Concentrated Growth | | | Flexible Cap Growth | | | Growth Opportunities | | | Small/Mid Cap Growth | | | Strategic Growth | | | Technology Opportunities | |

As of February 28, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Blue Chip | | | Capital Growth | | | Concentrated Growth | | | Flexible Cap Growth | | | Growth Opportunities | | | Small/Mid Cap Growth | | | Strategic Growth | | | Technology Opportunities | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 6,769,682 | | | $ | 590,584,013 | | | $ | 104,614,969 | | | $ | 16,152,114 | | | $ | 1,827,787,318 | | | $ | 1,784,992,373 | | | $ | 165,267,889 | | | $ | 249,700,659 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 1,104,530 | | | | 394,465,699 | | | | 52,195,465 | | | | 4,484,188 | | | | 669,486,866 | | | | 581,448,602 | | | | 114,192,565 | | | | 245,972,916 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (190,085 | ) | | | (12,045,703 | ) | | | 2,823,711 | | | | (416,126 | ) | | | (30,058,984 | ) | | | (53,498,012 | ) | | | (4,292,511 | ) | | | (1,988,773 | ) |
Net unrealized security gain | | $ | 914,445 | | | $ | 382,419,996 | | | $ | 49,371,754 | | | $ | 4,068,062 | | | $ | 639,427,882 | | | $ | 527,950,590 | | | $ | 109,900,054 | | | $ | 243,984,143 | |
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:
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 (including repatriation restrictions), 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.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an 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, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters 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 the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY GROWTH FUNDS
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.
In February 2018, the Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust approved certain changes to the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund’s principal investment strategy and benchmark index. After the close of business on April 17, 2018, the Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 90-150 companies that are considered by the Investment Adviser to be positioned for long-term growth. The Fund will invest in both value and growth companies. The Fund’s fundamental equity investment process involves evaluating potential investments based on specific characteristics believed to indicate a high-quality business with sustainable growth, including strong business franchises, favorable long-term prospects, and excellent management.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, 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, Investor, 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, 2017 through February 28, 2018, 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.

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.

What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs Value Strategies’ Investment Process?
Goldman Sachs’ Fundamental Equity Value Strategies Team (the “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, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), boosted overall by a combination of accelerating economic growth, rising corporate earnings and a general lack of negative financial headlines. Plus, for most of the Reporting Period, U.S. equity market volatility was at or near historic lows. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) ended the Reporting Period with a gain of 10.84%. The Russell 3000® Index generated a return of 10.45%.
As the Reporting Period began in September 2017, U.S. economic activity and labor market data showed consistent strength, with U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) at an annualized rate above 3%, unemployment down to 4.2% and a reversal of five consecutive downside inflation reports. Progress on tax reform and strong economic activity data remained supportive for U.S. equities in October and November 2017. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) delivered the third interest rate hike of 2017 in December as had been widely expected and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of the calendar year from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The fourth quarter of 2017 marked the ninth consecutive quarter of positive returns for the S&P 500 Index, its strongest quarterly advance in four years.
U.S. equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, the $1.5 trillion tax reform plan and a favorable corporate earnings season. U.S. GDP for the fourth quarter of 2017 came in below that of the growth rate for the second and third quarters of the calendar year but was still a respectable annualized rate of 2.5%. The labor market in January 2018 also continued to highlight tightening slack in the economy. While December 2017 payroll data undershot consensus expectations, November 2017 data was revised such that the U.S. unemployment rate stood at a 17-year low of 4.1% and average hourly earnings ticked up. The fourth quarter corporate earnings season was robust, with strong revenue and earnings growth relative to historical data. Companies were beginning to provide discrete guidance on tax rates, and 2018 earnings forecasts were being upgraded as a result. The S&P 500 Index saw 14 closing highs in the month of January 2018.
In February 2018, however, equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes, which stoked a sharp rise in rates and volatility. Robust labor market data sparked the initial risk-off sentiment — nonfarm payroll employment increased by 200,000 in January 2018, while the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1% and average hourly earnings rose 0.34% month over month. Concerns about monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. inflation data. New Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed meeting, triggered speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes, surprising markets with its hawkish tilt and sparking a sell-off. (Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Renewed concerns about the increasingly hostile exchanges between North Korea and the White House further drove heightened volatility. On February 5, 2018, the VIX, a measure of volatility in the U.S. equity market, recorded its largest ever one day increase, and on February 8, 2018, the S&P 500 Index posted a one-day correction of 10.16%. Though the S&P 500 Index posted a negative return for February 2018, the U.S. equity markets rallied after February 8th and the VIX declined from a month high of 50.30 to end the Reporting Period at 19.85.

MARKET REVIEW
For the Reporting Period overall, information technology, financials and consumer discretionary, widely considered more economically-sensitive sectors, were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index by a wide margin. The weakest performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index were utilities, real estate and consumer staples, traditionally considered more defensive sectors and the only three to post a negative absolute return during the Reporting Period.
Within the U.S. equity market, all capitalization segments posted positive returns, but large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, performed best, followed by mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index, and then small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks significantly outpaced value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the FTSE Russell indices.)
Looking Ahead
Following robust fourth quarter 2017 earnings reports in the early months of 2018, we remained cautiously optimistic at the end of the Reporting Period that favorable macroeconomic conditions and strong corporate earnings could continue to drive positive U.S. equity market performance as the calendar year progresses. As a result of the U.S. tax legislation passed in December 2017, we expected additional upside from tax savings deployment into reinvestment, capital return in the form of buybacks and dividends, increased mergers and acquisitions and/or paying down of debt. While our return expectations for the U.S. equity market remained relatively muted given what we perceive to be rather extended valuations, we believed U.S. equities were still more attractive than most other asset classes. Additionally, after several years of thematic-driven markets, we were excited at the end of the Reporting Period about lower correlations at the stock level. We believe an active investment approach may well be poised to benefit in this type of market environment.
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.

Changes to the Funds’ Portfolio Management Team during the Reporting Period
Effective January 9, 2018, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) centralized its Fundamental Equity U.S. Value and Fundamental Equity U.S. Growth Teams into a single Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team. These changes did not impact Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund and Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, as they continue to be managed by the Small Cap Value Team. The Investment Adviser believes these changes will benefit the Funds by providing a more holistic investment perspective and the ability to leverage investment ideas across the U.S. Fundamental Equity platform.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund
Portfolio Composition
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total net assets in equity investments that the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity 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, it may invest up to 25% of its total net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total net assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations, that offer the potential to further the Fund’s investment objective of long-term capital appreciation and growth of income.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective after the close of business on June 20, 2017, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund was renamed Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund, and its principal strategy changed, as reflected above. Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund’s (the “Fund��) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 5.82%, 5.43%, 5.99%, 5.74%, 5.94%, 5.67% and 6.02%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.26% 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, 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 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 consumer staples, consumer discretionary and industrials, wherein stock selection proved challenging. Having an overweight position to consumer staples, which significantly lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Contributing positively to the Fund’s relative results was having an overweight position to information technology, the best performing sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, and underweight allocations to utilities and real estate, the two weakest sectors in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
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 semiconductor company Intel, diversified conglomerate General Electric and multi-national consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble. |
| Intel’s stock experienced strong performance during the Reporting Period. However, the Fund only owned it for a portion of the time, resulting in an underweight position and thus causing it to detract from relative results. The strong performance of Intel’s stock was driven by back-to-back strong earnings results reported in October 2017 and January 2018 as well as by strength in the information technology sector broadly. While we remained positive on Intel’s data center business and improved cost controls, we exited the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period in favor of what we believed to be better risk/reward opportunities elsewhere. |
| General Electric announced earnings in October 2017 that missed market estimates on earnings per share, driven by weakness in its power and oil and gas segments. The company also cut its 2017 guidance, which caused the stock |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| to decline. Its stock fell further in November 2017 as new restructuring and financial tightening goals were announced. General Electric reduced its dividend by 50% and announced plans to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power by selling or spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets. The company also announced intentions of changing the corporate culture to focus more on profitability, cash flow and execution. While we continued to believe the company was an attractively valued, high quality business, we felt its risk/reward prospects had shifted and decided to exit the position. We believed the potential near-term volatility for the company’s shares outweighed the longer-term reward and decided to allocate the capital elsewhere. |
| Procter & Gamble’s shares declined following its quarterly earnings report in October 2017 and then had a slight rebound before dropping after its January 2018 quarterly earnings report. While earnings results were in line for both quarters, its October 2017 report indicated lighter revenues due to increased commodity costs following hurricane damage in the Gulf Coast. Its January 2018 report indicated revenue had improved due to an uptick in organic growth and benefits from tax reform, but gross margins were pressured by commodity prices and subsequent price cuts to products, such as shaving razors. Despite pricing choppiness and underperforming categories that weighed on market sentiment, its management remained positive on full-year 2018 guidance and expected acceleration in the second part of the year. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Procter & Gamble could start to see an inflection from its recent consolidation, and we believed its price cuts could help improve its sales in emerging markets. |
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 technology hardware manufacturer Cisco Systems, software giant Microsoft and bank holding company SunTrust Banks. |
| Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and sells Internet Protocol-based networking products and services related to the communications and information technology industries. Shares of Cisco Systems rose in November 2017, as the company reported earnings that were generally in line with market expectations but with earnings per share coming in slightly higher. Much of its outperformance, in our view, was due to continued market optimism about Cisco Systems’ solid execution and progress around many of its key strategic initiatives. Its stock also spiked in February 2018 when the company again reported strong quarterly earnings, beating market expectations on revenue and earnings per share. Its margins were also better than market expected, and its management gave higher future earnings guidance and announced a dividend increase. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the trajectory of the company, with its ongoing transition to a more recurring business model. We also continued to believe Cisco Systems is a high quality company, with what we consider to be its strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and proven business model positioning it well moving forward. At the end of the Reporting Period, Cisco Systems was paying an above-average dividend and was utilizing much of its free cash flow for stock buybacks. |
| Microsoft is a technology company that engages in the development and marketing of software and hardware services. Its stock rather steadily appreciated during the Reporting Period, with notable increases following the release of its quarterly earnings in October 2017, when the company announced results that beat market expectations and, in our view, demonstrated broad-based strength with increased momentum and expanding margins in its commercial cloud business. The company’s shares rose again following market volatility in February 2018. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to hold Microsoft in the Fund’s portfolio on the view that there could be potential strength in its commercial cloud business given Microsoft’s computing initiatives, market foothold and experienced management team. |
| SunTrust Banks’ stock increased in September 2017 following the company’s announcement it had agreed to sell its insurance premium subsidiary, Premium Assignment Corp., to IPFS Corp. and again in December 2017 when the sale was complete. The transaction was well received, as it allows SunTrust Banks to focus on its core wholesale banking businesses while generating value for its shareholders. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company was well positioned to benefit from a fast growing southeastern economy. Further, in our view, SunTrust Banks has the opportunity to improve returns through the growth of its fee income business, cost cutting initiatives and increasing capital returns. |
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. |
6
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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 AT&T, one of the largest telecommunications companies based in the U.S. We are positive on AT&T’s ability to identify value-accretive acquisitions in a consolidating industry, including its pending acquisition of Time Warner Cable and newly acquired DirecTV. Additionally, we believe there is further upside potential for AT&T associated with the recently announced tax reform. |
| We established a Fund position in Medtronic, a medical technology company that specializes in cardiac vascular, minimally invasive, restorative and diabetes solutions. We initiated the position given what we see as strong demand in cardiovascular end-markets, and we believe Medtronic has the opportunity to narrow its discounted valuation if its management executes on guidance and consistent margin improvement. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in American International Group, a global insurance company. Its stock was negatively affected in early November 2017, when the company reported weaker third quarter 2017 earnings than the market expected. Its after-tax operating loss was beyond market estimates, driven by a high level of catastrophe losses in its commercial insurance segment. Following an increase to reserves in the third quarter of 2017, which negatively affected the equity portion of its balance sheet, we decided to sell the Fund’s position in American International Group to hedge against more reserve increases. |
| The Fund’s position in E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”), a chemicals company specializing in polymers, adhesives and bioscience products, was eliminated given its merger with Dow Chemical. The Fund’s shares in DuPont were exchanged for shares of the newly-merged entity DowDuPont of former Dow Chemical and DuPont. We believe the merged company could benefit from consolidation into three independent divisions — agriculture, materials science and specialty products, by means of cost synergies, integration and innovation. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
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, real estate, telecommunication services and utilities increased. The Fund’s exposure to consumer discretionary, consumer staples, financials and industrials 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 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the Russell Index in the health care, information technology and telecommunication services sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweight positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary and financials and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer staples, energy, industrials, materials, real estate and utilities. |

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 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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Focused Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.75%, 2.30%, 2.98%, 2.84%, 2.57% and 2.89%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.26% 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 absolute gains but underperformed the Russell Index on a relative basis due primarily to stock selection as a whole. Sector allocation overall contributed positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | The sectors that most meaningfully detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were health care, energy and industrials, wherein stock selection proved challenging. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in financials, which contributed positively. Having underweight allocations to utilities and real estate, the two weakest sectors in 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 multi-national pharmaceutical company Allergan; natural gas, natural gas liquids and petroleum exploration company Devon Energy; and biotechnology-firm Celgene. |
| The majority of Allergan’s weak performance during the Reporting Period came in October 2017 when the District Court of Texas invalidated the company’s second largest product’s patent, which, in our view, could significantly affect the company’s earnings growth in 2018. Despite its challenging performance, we continued, at the end of the Reporting Period, to believe Allergan was attractively valued with one of the best product pipelines in its industry. |
| Devon Energy’s share price decline can be attributed primarily to February 2018 when the company reported weak fourth quarter 2017 earnings, driven largely by missed production expectations and disappointing 2018 guidance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the value of the company’s large North American asset base was not fully recognized at the stock’s then-current price. However, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in Devon Energy in favor of what we considered to be more compelling risk-adjusted opportunities elsewhere. |
| Celgene is focused primarily on oncology and immune inflammatory-related diseases. While we believe Celgene has |
11
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| an attractive balance sheet as well as free cash flow that has been consistently used to repurchase shares and perform targeted bolt-on acquisitions, we exited the Fund’s position in Celgene following its announcement that one of its pipeline drugs showed no efficacy in treating Crohn’s disease. |
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 U.S.-based bank holding company Bank of America, semiconductor producer Marvell Technology Group and regional bank Citizens Financial Group. |
| In October 2017, Bank of America announced positive earnings that beat market estimates on earnings per share, driven primarily by strong net interest income and credit trends. Bank of America announced earnings again in January 2018 that were positive, with continued strong net interest income trends. Its shares also rose throughout the Reporting Period along with the financial sector broadly, which as a whole outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as it performed well even amongst its peers in the financials sector, due, in our view, to good banking fundamentals and its management’s emphasis on cost reductions. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Bank of America remained attractively valued and were positive on the company’s business outlook and its ability to capitalize on potentially higher growth and interest rates. |
| Marvell Technology Group is a producer of storage, communications and consumer semiconductor products. The majority of its strong performance came in November 2017 after the company announced its acquisition of smaller rival chipmaker Cavium in an effort to expand its wireless connectivity business in a rapidly consolidating semiconductor industry. The transaction, expected to close mid-2018, could allow Marvell Technology Group to diversify away from its traditional storage device business and provide a powerful research and development team to accelerate product development. In our view the acquisition is evidence of its management team’s commitment to focusing on higher margin products and exiting its less profitable businesses. Additionally, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company was well positioned to benefit from growing demand for data storage and high-speed connectivity. |
| Citizens Financial Group services both consumer and commercial clients through loans, deposit products and other financial services. The majority of its stock’s strong performance occurred in January 2018 after the company reported strong fourth quarter 2017 earnings, which included a $317 million after-tax benefit from an adjustment to its deferred tax liability, a direct result of the tax legislation passed in December 2017. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on the company’s strong fundamental outlook, driven by a growing student loan book, expense-cutting program and fee income business. |
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 software giant Microsoft during the Reporting Period. We believe the company has displayed solid margin improvement and free cash flow generation over a multi-period horizon. Particular to Microsoft’s business model, we believe its commercial cloud business has potential for more growth, given increasing demand and advancement in computing capabilities. |
| We established a Fund position in DowDuPont, a holding company that develops materials, chemicals and agricultural products and a newly merged company between Dow Chemical and E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”). DowDuPont has been subject to scrutiny regarding its overhead cost structure and below peer segment margins, but we believe its recently appointed Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Ed Breen could finally address these issues. In our view, Breen is committed to improving working capital, reducing capital expenditures and introducing a higher level of rigor into the decision-making process. In our view, synergies associated with the consolidated businesses could lead to cost savings opportunities. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in diversified conglomerate General Electric. While we believe its stock could provide optionality in the longer term, we sold the position following the restructuring framework announcement made by its CEO John Flannery, which includes cutting its dividend by 50%, increasing its cost reduction targets, and spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets over the next one |
12
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| to two years, enabling General Electric to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power. (In business, optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.) We allocated the sales proceeds to higher conviction names, which we believe offer a more attractive risk/reward profile. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in integrated energy company Exxon Mobil. We had purchased the stock as we were positive on the company’s integrated business model and its management team’s ability to identify value accretive acquisitions. While we continued to believe Exxon Mobil is a high quality company, we became less optimistic on its restructuring process as well as on its narrower mix of assets. We decided to sell the position to reflect our risk/reward views and used the proceeds to purchase stock in Chevron, a company we believe offers more compelling risk-adjusted opportunities over the long term. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | John Arege, Managing Director, has left the firm. John shared co-lead portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund with Sean Gallagher, Co-Chief Investment Officer of the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team. Sean, who continues to serve as lead portfolio manager for the Fund, will draw upon the combined team for idea generation and make final investment decisions. John’s sector responsibilities in financials and energy have been absorbed by members of the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team. |
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 materials and utilities increased. The Fund’s exposure to the financials, information technology and energy sectors decreased compared to the Russell Index. The Fund eliminated its exposure to the telecommunication services sector. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund was overweight in information technology, industrials, consumer discretionary, materials and health care relative to the Russell Index. On the same date, the Fund was underweight in consumer staples, energy, utilities and financials and had no allocation to telecommunication services and real estate at the end of February 2018. |

| 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, Investor, 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 at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap 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 Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, including preferred and convertible securities, it may invest up to 20% of its total net assets in foreign securities, including securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total net assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.81%, 3.44%, 4.01%, 3.78%, 3.99%, 3.71% and 4.01%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.26% 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 overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results 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 health care, consumer discretionary and industrials, wherein stock selection was comparatively weak. Effective stock selection in the financials sector contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. Also boosting relative results was having underweight allocations to utilities and real estate, the two weakest sectors in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. |
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 multi-national pharmaceutical company Allergan, semiconductor company Intel and branded online travel services provider Expedia. |
| | The majority of Allergan’s weak performance during the Reporting Period came in October 2017 when the District Court of Texas invalidated the company’s second largest product’s patent, which, in our view, could significantly affect the company’s earnings growth in 2018. Despite its challenging performance, we continued, at the end of the Reporting Period, to believe Allergan was attractively valued with one of the best product pipelines in its industry. |
| | Intel’s stock experienced strong performance during the Reporting Period. However, the Fund only owned it for a portion of the time, resulting in an underweight position and thus causing it to detract from relative results. The strong performance of Intel’s stock was driven by back-to-back strong earnings results reported in October 2017 and January 2018 as well as by strength in the information technology sector broadly. While we remained positive on Intel’s data center business and improved cost controls, we exited the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period in favor of what we believed to be better risk/reward opportunities elsewhere. |
| | In late October 2017, shares of Expedia came under pressure following a disappointing earnings release in which the company missed market expectations for both earnings and |
17
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| revenues while also lowering its full-year earnings guidance. The weaker than market expected results were explained by the company to be, in part, driven by soft bookings caused by the fall 2017 hurricanes. Lower than expected cash flows from its Trivago business also drew investor concern. Expedia’s share price declined again in February 2018 following another disappointing earnings release. While the company reported strong booked room nights, investors reacted negatively to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) well below market estimates. The results were explained by the company to be driven by its increase in investments in efforts to increase hotel supply, improve its marketing efforts and expand its infrastructure capabilities via the cloud. We believe these are high return on equity investments that should continue, in our view, to position the company well in the long term. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained confident in Expedia’s long-term growth prospects should it continue to strategically invest. |
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 U.S.-based bank holding company Bank of America, regional bank Citizens Financial Group and technology hardware manufacturer Cisco Systems. |
| | In October 2017, Bank of America announced positive earnings that beat market estimates on earnings per share, driven primarily by strong net interest income and credit trends. Bank of America announced earnings again in January 2018 that were positive, with continued strong net interest income trends. Its shares also rose throughout the Reporting Period along with the financial sector broadly, which as a whole outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, as it performed well even amongst its peers in the financials sector, due, in our view, to good banking fundamentals and its management’s emphasis on cost reductions. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Bank of America remained attractively valued and were positive on the company’s business outlook and its ability to capitalize on potentially higher growth and interest rates. |
| | Citizens Financial Group services both consumer and commercial clients through loans, deposit products and other financial services. The majority of its stock’s strong performance occurred in January 2018 after the company reported strong fourth quarter 2017 earnings, which included a $317 million after-tax benefit from an adjustment to its deferred tax liability, a direct result of the tax legislation passed in December 2017. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on the company’s strong fundamental outlook, driven by a growing student loan book, expense-cutting program and fee income business. |
| | Cisco Systems designs, manufactures and sells Internet Protocol-based networking products and services related to the communications and information technology industries. Shares of Cisco Systems rose in November 2017, as the company reported earnings that were generally in line with market expectations but with earnings per share coming in slightly higher. Much of its outperformance, in our view, was due to continued market optimism about Cisco Systems’ solid execution and progress around many of its key strategic initiatives. Its stock also spiked in February 2018 when the company again reported strong quarterly earnings, beating market expectations on revenue and earnings per share. Its margins were also better than market expected, and its management gave higher future earnings guidance and announced a dividend increase. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were positive on the trajectory of the company, with its ongoing transition to a more recurring business model. We also continued to believe Cisco Systems is a high quality company, with what we consider to be its strong balance sheet, robust free cash flow and proven business model positioning it well moving forward. At the end of the Reporting Period, Cisco Systems was paying an above-average dividend and was utilizing much of its free cash flow for stock buybacks. |
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 established a Fund position in DowDuPont, a holding company that develops materials, chemicals and agricultural products and a newly merged company between Dow Chemical and E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”). DowDuPont has been subject to scrutiny regarding its overhead cost structure and below peer segment margins, but we believe its recently appointed Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Ed Breen could finally address these issues. In our view, Breen is committed to improving working capital, reducing capital expenditures |
18
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| and introducing a higher level of rigor into the decision-making process. In our view, synergies associated with the consolidated businesses could lead to cost savings opportunities. |
| | We initiated a Fund position in Chevron, a U.S.-based integrated energy company. We are positive on what we see as Chevron’s strong presence in the economically-sensitive Permian Basin and believe it may be well positioned to capitalize on potential North American oil production growth and increasing crude oil prices. We also believe the company has strong growth potential given its asset footprint and its stake in the Gorgon liquefied natural gas project. Further, we are positive on the company’s restructuring efforts and believe Chevron has a better mix of assets, including a richer mix of oil, than many of its peers. Finally, we believe Chevron has a strong balance sheet and pays an above-market dividend. |
| | Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in integrated energy company Exxon Mobil. We had purchased the stock as we were positive on the company’s integrated business model and its management team’s ability to identify value accretive acquisitions. While we continued to believe Exxon Mobil is a high quality company, we became less optimistic on its restructuring process as well as on its narrower mix of assets. We decided to sell the position to reflect our risk/reward views and used the proceeds to purchase stock in Chevron, which, as mentioned above, is a company we believe offers more compelling risk-adjusted opportunities over the long term. |
| | We exited the Fund’s position in diversified conglomerate General Electric. While we believe its stock could provide optionality in the longer term, we sold the position following the restructuring framework announcement made by its CEO John Flannery, which includes cutting its dividend by 50%, increasing its cost reduction targets and spinning off approximately $20 billion worth of assets over the next one to two years, enabling General Electric to focus on its core businesses of aviation, health care and power. (In business, optionality is the value of additional optional investment opportunities available only after having made an initial investment.) We allocated the sales proceeds to higher conviction names, which we believe offer a more attractive risk/reward profile. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | John Arege, Managing Director, has left the firm. John shared co-lead portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund with Sean Gallagher, Co-Chief Investment Officer of the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team. Charles “Brook” Dane also no longer serves as a portfolio manager for the Fund, effective January 9, 2018. Sean, who continues to serve as lead portfolio manager for the Fund, will draw upon the combined team for idea generation and make final investment decisions. John’s sector responsibilities in financials and energy have been absorbed by members of the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team. |
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, industrials, information technology, consumer discretionary and utilities increased. The Fund’s exposure to financials, consumer staples and real estate decreased compared to the Russell Index and the Fund’s allocation to telecommunication services was eliminated. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the Russell Index in the information technology, industrials, health care, consumer discretionary and materials sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweight positions compared to the Russell Index in utilities, real estate, consumer staples, financials and energy and had no allocation at all to the telecommunication services sector. |

Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Investment Adviser defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in stock price. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its total net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its total net assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity U.S. Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.94%, 3.56%, 4.14%, 3.90%, 4.09%, 3.84% and 4.15%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.41% 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 stock selection overall detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index during the Reporting Period. Sector allocation as a whole contributed positively to the Fund’s results. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Detracting from the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index was stock selection in consumer discretionary, energy and consumer staples. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in the industrials and information technology sectors, which contributed positively. Having an overweight allocation to information technology, which was one of the best performing sectors in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, and having an underweight allocation to real estate, which was the weakest sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted 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 branded online travel services provider Expedia, oil and gas exploration and production company EQT and U.S.-based direct broadcast satellite service provider DISH Network. |
| | In late October 2017, shares of Expedia came under pressure following a disappointing earnings release in which the company missed market expectations for both earnings and revenues while also lowering its full-year earnings guidance. The weaker than market expected results were explained by the company to be, in part, driven by soft bookings caused by the fall 2017 hurricanes. Lower than expected cash flows from its Trivago business also drew investor concern. Expedia’s share price declined again in February 2018 following another disappointing earnings release. While the company reported strong booked room nights, investors reacted negatively to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) well below market estimates. The results were explained by the company to be driven by its increase in investments in efforts to increase hotel supply, improve its marketing efforts and expand its infrastructure capabilities via the cloud. We believe these are high return on equity investments that |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| should continue, in our view, to position the company well in the long term. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained confident in Expedia’s long-term growth prospects should it continue to strategically invest. |
| | We believe EQT’s weak performance during the Reporting Period could be characterized by idiosyncratic and company-specific issues, compounded by a challenged natural gas market. By the end of 2017, the rally in the oil market spiked the supply of associated gas, thereby flooding the market with inexpensive, low-demanded natural gas. As these headwinds for natural gas producers persisted into early 2018, we decreased the Fund’s position in EQT but continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that EQT has one of the largest core acreage positions in the southwest Marcellus shale and could see synergies from its integration with Rice Energy. |
| | DISH Network’s stock declined in November 2017 after the company reported weaker than market expected third quarter 2017 results, driven by reduced subscriber-related revenue, a direct affect of Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in September 2017, causing extraordinary damage and a loss of power to substantially all customers in those areas. While we remained positive on the company’s wireless spectrum portfolio, and the possible acquisitions associated with the asset, we exited the stock in February 2018 in favor of more compelling opportunities that, in our view, offer a better 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 freight logistics provider XPO Logistics, semiconductor producer Marvell Technology Group and regional bank Citizens Financial Group. |
| | XPO Logistics is based in North America and Europe. We believe the market’s positive sentiment toward the company and the stock’s resulting strong performance during the Reporting Period reflects consistent execution over a multi-quarter horizon and a business framework that aligns well with structural shifts in the freight industry due to outsourcing, e-commerce and compliance with federal regulations. We further believe XPO Logistics has steadily improved and invested in initiatives to utilize scale, volume per truck load and longer hauls. |
| | Marvell Technology Group is a producer of storage, communications and consumer semiconductor products. The majority of its strong performance came in November 2017 after the company announced its acquisition of smaller rival chipmaker Cavium in an effort to expand its wireless connectivity business in a rapidly consolidating semiconductor industry. The transaction, expected to close mid-2018, could allow Marvell Technology Group to diversify away from its traditional storage device business and provide a powerful research and development team to accelerate product development. In our view the acquisition is evidence of its management team’s commitment to focusing on higher margin products and exiting its less profitable businesses. Additionally, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company was well positioned to benefit from growing demand for data storage and high-speed connectivity. |
| | Citizens Financial Group services both consumer and commercial clients through loans, deposit products and other financial services. The majority of its stock’s strong performance occurred in January 2018 after the company reported strong fourth quarter 2017 earnings, which included a $317 million after-tax benefit from an adjustment to its deferred tax liability, a direct result of the tax legislation passed in December 2017. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on the company’s strong fundamental outlook, driven by a growing student loan book, expense-cutting program and fee income business. |
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 financial services technology company Fidelity National Information Services. The company focuses on retail and institutional banking, payments, asset and wealth management, risk and compliance, consulting and outsourcing solutions. We are positive on the company’s strong earnings and cash flow growth potential and believe a recent pull-back in its stock presented a renewed favorable risk/reward opportunity going forward. We further believe the company may be a beneficiary of tax reform, as it is focused on returning capital to shareholders through stock buybacks. |
| | We established a Fund position in Prologis, a logistics real estate investment trust with distribution facilities across the Americas, Europe and Asia. We believe Prologis is well |
24
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| positioned to capitalize on strong secular growth in e-commerce, while its mostly infill locations relatively limit supply growth versus its peers. (An infill location is a real estate location where most of the properties are built to fill in remaining spaces, often in urban centers, where space is scarce and new development often involves rebuilding higher buildings over older lots.) Additionally, we are positive on what we see as its management team’s long and proven track record of value creation through development, which increases its scale while driving additional earnings growth potential. |
| | Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in PG&E, a natural gas and electric energy company. We had originally initiated a position in the stock as we were positive on the company’s organic rate base and earnings growth prospects, driven by increased investment in renewable infrastructure. However, due to concerns the company could be potentially liable for damages caused by recent northern California wildfires, we sold the position. |
| | We eliminated the Fund’s position in Molson Coors Brewing, a Denver-based company that manufactures and sells beer and other beverages globally. We had initiated a position in the stock based on our positive view toward the company’s acquisition of the remaining 58% of the MillerCoors joint venture that it did not already own. The acquisition, which took place in 2016, doubled the company’s size and provided it with access to various distribution opportunities outside the U.S. We exited the position due to increasing concerns that the U.S. beer industry is under structural decline with no visible signs of a turnaround. In our view, the cost savings associated with the MillerCoors joint venture in 2016 have been realized, leaving us with no near-term catalyst to support the current risk/reward profile. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective January 9, 2018, Timothy Ryan no longer serves as a portfolio manager for the Fund. Adam Agress was promoted to co-lead portfolio manager of the Fund, wherein he oversees the portfolio construction and investment research for the Fund, joining portfolio managers Sung Cho and Sean Gallagher. |
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, utilities and information technology increased. The Fund’s exposure to the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors decreased compared to the Russell Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the Russell Index in the information technology, materials and industrials sectors. On the same date, the Fund had underweight positions compared to the Russell Index in real estate, financials and utilities and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, energy, health care, consumer staples and telecommunication services. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
As of February 28, 2018 |

| 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 0.1% of the Fund’s net assets as of February 28, 2018. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Composition
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total net assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of investment. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investment horizon for ownership of stocks will be two to three years. The Fund seeks its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation by investing in value opportunities that the Investment Adviser 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 total net assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its total net assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 7.45%, 7.05%, 7.67%, 7.40%, 7.59%, 7.33% and 7.67%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.09% 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 outperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period attributable to both effective stock selection and sector allocation overall. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Effective stock selection in the industrials, real estate and financials sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an overweight allocation to industrials, which outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, and having an underweight allocation to real estate, which significantly lagged the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted the Fund’s relative results. Partially offsetting these positive contributors was weaker stock selection in the health care, utilities and materials sectors, which detracted from the Fund’s relative results. Having an underweight allocation to health care, which was the best performing sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. |
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 freight logistics provider XPO Logistics, off-price clothing retailer Burlington Stores and oil and natural gas exploration and production company WPX Energy. |
| | XPO Logistics is based in North America and Europe. We believe the market’s positive sentiment toward the company and the stock’s resulting strong performance during the Reporting Period reflects consistent execution over a multi-quarter horizon and a business framework that aligns well with structural shifts in the freight industry due to outsourcing, e-commerce and compliance with federal regulations. We further believe XPO Logistics has steadily improved and invested in initiatives to utilize scale, volume per truck load and longer hauls. |
| | Burlington Stores’ stock performance accelerated in late October 2017 when the company reported third quarter 2017 earnings that had stronger than market expected comparable same-store sales, high single-digit sales and solid adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and depreciation |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| (“EBITDA”). Despite challenges to traditional retailers, the off-price space exhibited healthy momentum and increased demand, especially during the holiday season. Specific to Burlington Stores, we believe the company has been able to enhance product assortments, including underdeveloped categories such as home and baby, and has shielded against e-commerce cannibalization by virtue of store experience, competitive pricing and a faster supply chain. |
| | In November 2017, WPX Energy’s stock increased after the company reported strong third quarter 2017 earnings results, primarily driven by oil volumes that came in well ahead of market expectations. Its stock rose again in February 2018 following the company’s announcement that it had signed an agreement to sell its San Juan Gallup holdings for $700 million to an undisclosed third party, with a significant portion of the proceeds slated for debt reduction. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on WPX Energy’s transformation from being a high-cost natural gas production company to an oil-focused production company. We also liked what we considered to be its impressive portfolio of low-cost acreage in the core of the Permian Basin. Furthermore, we believe its stock was significantly undervalued at the end of the Reporting Period, as investors have seemingly not fully recognized what we see as the quality of the company’s assets and its ability to de-lever its balance sheet with strong cash flow generation. |
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 electrical and gas utility Black Hills, data center real estate investment trust (“REIT”) CyrusOne and utilities holding company South Jersey Industries. |
| | Black Hills is focused on west coast markets. Following worse than market expected third quarter 2017 earnings, the company lowered its 2017 earnings forecast based on headwinds associated with unfavorable weather, sluggish commercial and industrial load growth, increased expenses and a more conservative outlook on commercial and industrial electric demand growth. The company also experienced rocky execution by its management team, reaffirmed by the release of fourth quarter 2017 earnings in early February 2018, wherein Black Hills missed market earnings estimates and reduced its 2018 guidance. As a result of missed execution over multiple quarters, we decided to sell the Fund’s position in Black Hills. |
| | During the Reporting Period, CyrusOne’s stock rather steadily declined, with more pronounced deceleration in early 2018. In February 2018, the company reported soft fourth quarter 2017 earnings that had greater cash flow from operations but decreased leasing volume in comparison to previous years. These results were in line with other data center REITs, which had a more challenged start in 2018 relative to REITs overall and to the broader U.S. equity market. We believe the REIT segment’s performance could be attributed to relatively full valuations, expectations of slowing economic growth and an increase in U.S. Treasury yields. Despite these concerns, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that CyrusOne was well positioned to be a beneficiary of cloud-based technology growth, with competitive advantages in sales force and customer penetration. |
| | South Jersey Industries delivers energy and natural gas solutions. Its earnings were down for the majority of 2017. Despite a rebound in the fourth quarter of 2017 as per a base rate increase in November 2017 and colder temperatures in December 2017, its stock traded down. In our view, the market was cautious of its newly announced acquisitions of Elizabethtown Gas in New Jersey and Elkton Gas in Maryland, given less clarity on the funding source and on a rising interest rate environment. While South Jersey Industries was trading at a discounted valuation relative to its peers at the end of the Reporting Period, we believe there is a potential pipeline of visible earnings catalysts and investment opportunities for the company ahead. |
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 CACI International, a provider of information solutions and services in support of national security and intelligence operations. Throughout the calendar year, its stock had lagged the broader information technology sector. We established the Fund position following softer bookings, which may be an inflection point for organic growth. In our view, CACI International has a strong balance and sufficient cash to deploy in an acquisition. |
| | We established a Fund position in Air Transport Services Group, a company that facilitates airline operations such as aircraft maintenance, cargo transportation and other support services. We believe this company could benefit from the penetration and expansion of e-commerce across the U.S. retail landscape. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in Snyder’s-Lance, a manufacturer of snack food products such as pretzels and chips. We had bought the stock earlier in 2017 during some market noise surrounding its Chief Executive Officer’s retirement and replacement, and we sold the position when Campbell Soup Company acquired Snyder’s-Lance for approximately $50 per share in cash. |
| | We eliminated the Fund’s position in Rice Energy, an independent natural gas and oil company focused in the Appalachian Basin, as it was acquired by EQT in mid-November 2017. As the Fund continued, as of the end of the Reporting Period, to hold a position in EQT, we believe the vertical integration of Rice Energy’s assets into EQT may increase its foothold of the Marcellus shale. Likewise, we believe the continued integration of the two companies’ assets could reduce costs and solidify synergies. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, information technology and real estate increased, and its allocations compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, industrials and materials decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund was overweight in industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology and underweight in consumer staples, financials, health care, real estate and utilities relative to the Russell Index. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted to energy and materials and had no exposure at all to telecommunication services at the end of the Reporting Period. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
As of February 28, 2018 |

| 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 0.8% of the Fund’s net assets as of February 28, 2018. 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. |

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) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small- and mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell Midcap Value Index, respectively, at the time of investment. As of September 30, 2017, the capitalization range of the companies in these indexes was between $25.8 million and $33.8 billion. Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investment horizon for ownership of stocks will be two to three years. Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may also invest in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The Fund may invest in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell Midcap Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 8.15%, 7.73%, 8.32%, 8.26%, 7.97% and 8.33%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.25% 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 outperformed the Russell Index during the Reporting Period due to effective stock selection and sector allocation overall. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance? |
A | | Effective stock selection in the industrials and information technology sectors helped the Fund’s performance most relative to the Russell Index. Having an underweight allocation to real estate, which was the second-weakest sector in the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, and having an overweight allocation to industrials, which significantly outpaced the Russell Index during the Reporting Period, also contributed positively. The only two sectors to detract from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were health care and energy, 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 freight logistics provider XPO Logistics, U.S. equipment rental company United Rentals and off-price clothing retailer Burlington Stores. |
| | XPO Logistics is based in North America and Europe. We believe the market’s positive sentiment toward the company and the stock’s resulting strong performance during the Reporting Period reflects consistent execution over a multi-quarter horizon and a business framework that aligns well with structural shifts in the freight industry due to outsourcing, e-commerce and compliance with federal regulations. We further believe XPO Logistics has steadily improved and invested in initiatives to utilize scale, volume per truck load and longer hauls. |
| | United Rentals’ stock appreciated during the Reporting Period on the back of market expectations for industrial recovery and on a favorable macro environment. In October 2017, the market responded positively to the company’s acquisition of Neff Corporation and its release of third quarter 2017 earnings that outpaced market estimates on both top and bottom lines. Coming off hurricane season, |
35
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| equipment rental revenues increased by low single-digits year-over-year, and market demand persisted through the Reporting Period. In our view, United Rentals also benefited from having what we see as good balance sheet control and effective execution across its businesses. |
| | Burlington Stores’ stock performance accelerated in late October 2017 when the company reported third quarter 2017 earnings that had stronger than market expected comparable same-store sales, high single-digit sales and solid adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and depreciation (“EBITDA”). Despite challenges to traditional retailers, the off-price space exhibited healthy momentum and increased demand, especially during the holiday season. Specific to Burlington Stores, we believe the company has been able to enhance product assortments, including underdeveloped categories such as home and baby, and has shielded against e-commerce cannibalization by virtue of store experience, competitive pricing and a faster supply chain. |
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 EQT, apartment management company Mid-America Apartment Communities and behavioral health care services company Acadia Healthcare. |
| | We believe EQT’s weak performance during the Reporting Period could be characterized by idiosyncratic and company-specific issues, compounded by a challenged natural gas market. By the end of 2017, the rally in the oil market spiked the supply of associated gas, thereby flooding the market with inexpensive, low-demanded natural gas. As these headwinds for natural gas producers persisted into early 2018, we decreased the Fund’s position in EQT but continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that EQT has one of the largest core acreage positions in the southwest Marcellus shale and could see synergies from its integration with Rice Energy. |
| | Mid-America Apartment Communities (“Mid-America”) manages apartments in the Sunbelt region of the U.S. During the Reporting Period, Mid-America reported third and fourth quarter 2017 earnings that beat market expectations but were challenged by same-store growth and acquisition costs. The market responded negatively to a substantial slowdown in same-store net operating income growth as reported in October 2017, which could be a result of an increased supply of competitors in the Sunbelt and the still-recent impact from hurricane-related costs in Dallas and Austin. By its fourth quarter 2017 earnings report in January 2018, the company rebounded from low same-store net operating income, but its management guided lower due to soft same-store revenue growth and increase property management costs. In our view, the market was overvaluing supply pressures and undervaluing the potential synergies of fully integrating its Post Properties acquisition. |
| | Acadia Healthcare’s stock traded down sharply following a challenging third quarter 2017 earnings release that missed market expectations and lowered its guidance. The disappointing results were driven by weakness in its U.K. business due to staffing pressures explained by the company to be in part the ripple effect of Brexit. The company is also not expected to be a significant beneficiary of U.S. tax reform, as it is slightly more levered than its peers. Despite the near-term headwinds, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that secular demand remained strong in the behavioral health care space. We also viewed this industry as being capacity-constrained as it is, in our view, challenging to open these types of facilities. |
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 Everest Re Group, a holding company that engages in the provision of reinsurance and insurance services. In our view, the company is a high quality reinsurer that has continued to diversify and grow its U.S.-based insurance platform. We established the Fund position in early autumn 2017 following an elevated level of catastrophe bond activity. (A catastrophe bond is a high-yield debt instrument that is usually insurance-linked and meant to raise money in case of a catastrophe such as a hurricane or earthquake. It has a special condition that states if the issuer, such as the insurance or reinsurance company, suffers a loss from a particular predefined catastrophe, then its obligation to pay interest and/or repay the principal is either deferred or completely forgiven.) |
| | We established a Fund position in Owens Corning, a company that engages in the development of insulation, roofing and fiberglass composites. We are positive on the U.S. housing cycle and, within the industry, we believe Owens Corning has a stable structure in roofing, pricing |
36
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| power in insulation and possible tailwinds of global growth in composites. |
| | Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in Colfax, an industrial and engineering company that produces industrial fans, pumps, heat exchanges and compressors. While we believed Colfax had attractive exposures to industrial markets, weakening corporate expenditures and the company’s declining orders and core growth led us to sell the position in early 2018. |
| | We exited the Fund’s position MGM Resorts International, an owner of global resort destinations and casinos. We determined to sell the position based on what we considered to be more attractive opportunities elsewhere, especially in companies we felt were well positioned to benefit from U.S. tax reform and other near-term catalysts. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s allocations compared to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary and industrials increased, and its allocations compared to the Russell Index in materials decreased. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2018? |
A | | At the end of February 2018, the Fund was overweight in the industrials and information technology sectors relative to the Russell Index. On the same date, the Fund had underweight positions compared to the Russell Index in consumer staples, real estate and utilities and was rather neutrally weighted to the Russell Index in consumer discretionary, energy, financials, health care and materials. The Fund held no positions in 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, Investor, 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 at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2018 (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 |
Focused Value | | A, C, Institutional, Investor, R and R6 | | Non-diversified |
Equity Income*, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value | | A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, R and R6 | | Diversified |
Small/Mid Cap Value | | A, C, Institutional, Investor, R and R6 | | Diversified |
* | | Formerly the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund. Effective after the close of business on June 20, 2017, the Fund changed its name to the Goldman Sachs Equity Income Fund. |
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, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge. Previously, Investor Shares were known as Class IR Shares.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“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, 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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) if any, 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, each Fund 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:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Equity 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 translation. 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 |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. 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’ 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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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.
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 Fund’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 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 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, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

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 Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the 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 a management fee of up to 0.16% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management 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 was 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, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 28, 2018, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Each of the 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, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2018:

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable to wash sales, differences related to the tax treatment of partnerships and underlying fund investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an 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.

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, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters 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 the Fund has 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.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EQUITY VALUE FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, 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) and 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, Investor, 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, 2017 through February 28, 2018, 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Global Managed Beta Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Institutional Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 7.55%. This return compares to the 8.77% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index (Net, USD, 50% Non- US Developed Hedged to USD) (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | When the Reporting Period began in September 2017, the global economic recovery persisted in a synchronized fashion and inflationary pressures remained generally benign. Global equities delivered positive returns during the third calendar quarter overall, with emerging markets equities outperforming developed markets equities. U.K. equities also recorded positive returns, but lagged the broader global equity market, primarily because of a stronger British pound, which appreciated on the back of increased U.K. inflation and hawkish comments from the Bank of England. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In the U.S., Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policymakers signaled their intention to raise short-term interest rates once more in 2017, having previously raised them in March and June, if the U.S. economy continued to progress as they expected. Global bond yields, which had fallen in July and August 2017 amid weaker inflation and heightened geopolitical tensions related to North Korea, bounced back sharply in September as inflation data surprised to the upside, leading to slightly hawkish commentary from the Fed. Toward the end of the third calendar quarter, investors focused on developments surrounding possible U.S. tax reform and the potential announcement of a new Fed chair. |
| In the fourth quarter of 2017, a mix of strong global economic growth data, higher commodity prices and the absence of hawkish surprises from major central banks drove a continued rally in global equities. Japanese equities performed best, as the Prime Minister’s big win in the country’s national election reinforced “Abenomics,” pushing stock prices higher. (Abenomics refers to the multi-pronged economic program of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It seeks to remedy two decades of economic stagnation by increasing Japan’s money supply, boosting government spending and enacting reforms to make the economy more competitive.) Meanwhile, U.S. stocks outpaced global equities, as investors priced in a higher probability of a U.S. corporate tax rate cut before its eventual passage by the U.S. Congress in December 2017. Conversely, European and U.K. equities lagged, weighed down by strength in the euro and British pound. Emerging markets stocks outperformed their developed markets peers, thanks to steady economic data emanating from China, higher commodity prices and improving exports. In November 2017, the U.S. President nominated Jerome Powell to replace Janet Yellen as Fed chair when her term expired in February 2018. In December 2017, Fed policymakers raised interest rates for the third time in 2017 and upgraded their cumulative economic growth projections after taking into account the potential impact of the corporate tax cut. |
| In January 2018, investors’ “risk on” sentiment, or reduced risk aversion, continued, and global equities had their best start of a calendar year in more than 30 years, supported by robust corporate earnings growth, low inflation and favorable macroeconomic conditions. However, following higher than expected inflation and wage growth data in early February 2018, market participants reassessed the pace of Fed interest rate hikes as well as the path of long-term interest rates and equity valuations. Volatility returned to the equity market, with the CBOE Volatility Index® (“VIX®”) spiking to 50 points, as investors broadly reduced exposure to riskier asset classes, such as equities and commodities. Toward the end of the Reporting Period, equities and other risk assets |

| marginally rebounded, and the fixed income markets began pricing in the Fed’s projections for three rate increases in 2018. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund primarily seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of underlying asset classes that provide broad beta exposure to the global equity markets. (Beta refers to the component of returns that is attributable to market risk exposure, rather than manager skill.) While posting solid positive absolute gains, the Fund underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, largely because of its strategic allocation to the macro hedging strategy, which detracted as the market priced in expectations for Fed interest rate hikes. Mitigating some of these losses was the Fund’s steepening position on the front, or short-term, end of the U.S. interest rate yield curve during the last two months of the Reporting Period when short-term yields jumped on renewed market expectations of a faster pace of Fed rate hikes. (Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities. In a steepening yield curve, the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities widens.) |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of its strategic allocation at the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund had 97.96% of its total net assets invested in equity-related investments, 1.79% in the macro hedging strategy and 0.25% in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund also maintained a position in cash and cash equivalents to cover the exposure of various derivatives positions. This above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes. |
Q | | How did you tactically manage the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we gradually adjusted the Fund’s strategic allocation to align it with our long-term view of asset classes and our factor-based diversification approach, through which we seek to gain exposure to underlying asset classes rather than obtaining such exposure through capitalization-weighted indices. More specifically, in September 2017, we shifted a portion of the Fund’s global equities allocation into the factor-based diversification approach, which is expected to be a long-term strategic allocation and seeks to capture common sources of active equity returns, including, but not limited to, Momentum, Valuation, Volatility and Quality factors. The Momentum factor seeks to identify companies whose stock prices are expected to increase or decrease (by, among other things, evaluating each company’s recent performance results). The Valuation factor seeks to identify companies whose stock prices are trading at a discount to their fundamental or intrinsic value (by, among other things, comparing each company’s book value to market value). The Volatility factor seeks to identify companies whose stock prices are expected to have a relatively lower degree of fluctuation over time. The Quality factor seeks to identify companies that are expected to generate higher returns on assets (i.e., more profitable). The factor-based diversification approach is implemented through a separately managed account composed of individual stock positions. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, equity futures were employed to express our passive investment views with greater versatility. The use of these instruments to gain exposure to the Canadian equity market and the U.S. small-cap equity market during the Reporting Period added to the Fund’s performance, as these positions generated returns similar to the asset classes they represented. In addition, the Fund employed interest rate options and currency forwards to afford greater risk management of macroeconomic and foreign exchange risks in the portfolio. Although these instruments broadly accomplished their purpose, they detracted from the Fund’s performance overall during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of its strategic allocation at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had 97.68% of its total net assets invested in equity-related investments, 1.83% in the macro hedging strategy and 0.49% in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund also maintained a position in cash and cash equivalents to cover the exposure of various derivatives positions. This above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we were focused on three macro themes. First, we expected the global economic expansion to continue in 2018, driving global equities to new highs in the process, but we think the pace is likely to |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| moderate relative to the especially strong pace seen in 2017, which may cause temporary bouts of equity market volatility. Second, we anticipated continued monetary policy tightening in the U.S. Despite Fed interest rate hikes, U.S. financial conditions eased during 2017, as economic growth supported equities and surprisingly low inflation kept bond yields low. Inflation weakness is largely over, in our view, though the absence of higher inflation could hinder the Fed’s efforts to raise interest rates. We think Fed policymakers will likely seek to hike interest rates if they believe, as we do, that the labor market is overheating. (An overheating labor market means there are more workers looking for employment than available jobs.) Third, we believed the investment environment was one of elevated volatility and heightened macro risks. |
| On the asset class level, we considered equities relatively cheap at the end of the Reporting Period, given macro conditions and low bond yields. However, we expect the valuation gap between stocks and bonds, which has already narrowed significantly, to close further as bond yields rise. That said, we believe broadening economic growth and a recovery in corporate earnings should support some upside in equities, and we expect positive but moderate returns over the medium term. Regarding fixed income, as inflation momentum slows and the Fed continues to hike interest rates, we expect yields to rise. In our view, it may be some time before bonds adequately reflect the likely pace of Fed rate hikes and offer reasonable risk premiums for future inflation. We believe the Fed’s gradual exit from its quantitative easing program should have a limited impact on the fixed income markets, but we note it might serve as a catalyst for bond valuations to catch up with fundamentals, which already justify higher yields, in our opinion. |
| At the regional level, we had a positive outlook on emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities, which was reflected in the Fund’s strategic allocations at the end of the Reporting Period. As economic growth in the developed markets moderates, we believe emerging markets outside of China may offer opportunities. Many emerging economies are much earlier in their economic cycle than developed markets economies, and we see room for the gap between emerging markets and developed markets growth to widen. This, combined with what we consider to be attractive relative valuations, should drive the outperformance of emerging markets equities in the near term, though the path is likely to be more volatile in 2018 than in 2017, in our view. |
| As for the Fund’s macro hedging strategy, we consider it a long-term structural allocation and a capital-efficient means of diversifying the Fund’s exposure to global equities. In positioning the Fund in anticipation of Fed interest rate increases, we plan to continue monitoring the potential impact of events related to key political and monetary policy decisions in the near term. |

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2018 (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 Global Managed Beta Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified fund that currently offers one class of shares — Institutional Shares. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Fund 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 Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Fund may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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 Fund’s 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 Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred directly by the Fund are charged to the Fund, and certain expenses incurred by the Trust that may not solely relate to the Fund are allocated to the Fund 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. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the 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 Fund 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, 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 the 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 Fund’s net assets on the Statement 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 Fund 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 translation. 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 |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. 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 Fund’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 Fund, 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 Fund’s 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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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 Fund invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’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 Fund 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 exchange contract is a forward contract in which the Fund 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 Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received, 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 Fund if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments.
iii. Options — When the Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’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
32

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 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.

(a) | | Average number of contracts is based on the average of month end balances for the six months ended February 28, 2018. |
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, the Fund may be required to post initial margin to the counterparty, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund 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 Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that GSAM 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 Fund, 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 Fund’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 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
GSAM has agreed to waive all management fees payable by the Fund, except those management fees it earns from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (the “Government Money Market Fund”). This arrangement will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018 and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate this arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. For the period ended February 28, 2018, GSAM waived $1,009,428 in management fees.
B. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Fund for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.02% 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 Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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 Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund 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 Fund is 0.204%. For the period ended February 28, 2018, the Fund did not have any other expense reimbursements from GSAM.
The Fund invests in Institutional Shares of the Government Money Market Fund and the shares of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated funds in which the Fund invests. For the period ended February 28, 2018, GSAM waived $81,023 of the Fund’s management fee.
These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Fund’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
D. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2018, the Fund 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 Fund based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the period ended February 28, 2018, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility.
E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — The table below shows the transaction in and earnings from investments in the Underlying Funds for the period ended February 28, 2018:

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended February 28, 2018, were $ 330,658,570 and $ 102,642,526 respectively.
The Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the Fund receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at its 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 Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statement of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and 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 Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund, an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs 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 a management fee of up to 0.16% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management 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 Fund 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 Fund by paying the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the securities

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Fund’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Fund’s overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 28, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Both the Fund and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned by the Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
The following table provides information about the Fund’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2018.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Beginning value as of August 31, 2017 | | | Purchases at Cost | | | Proceeds from Sales | | | Ending value as of February 28, 2018 | |
$ | 635,996 | | | $ | 10,433,886 | | | $ | 9,197,910 | | | $ | 1,871,972 | |
As of the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end August 31, 2017 the Fund’s certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Timing differences (Straddle Deferral) | | $ | (46,343 | ) |
As of February 28, 2018, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 619,354,221 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 99,689,227 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (3,333,070 | ) |
Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities | | $ | 96,356,157 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark-to market gains/losses on regulated futures and options contracts and net mark-to-market gain/loss on foreign currency contracts. GSAM has reviewed the Fund’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 Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
Derivatives Risk — The Fund’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 Fund. 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.

|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Foreign and Emerging 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 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 the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If the Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.
Geographic Risk — If the Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, it will subject the Fund, 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; or natural disasters.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), the 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 — The 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 the Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the 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 the 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 the 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.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the 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 Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Sector Risk — To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Fund may be subjected, 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.
38
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL MANAGED BETA FUND
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 Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund 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.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended February, 28, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Institutional Shares of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs and other Fund expenses.
This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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, 2017 through February 28, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days out of 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 Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’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 Fund 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

Share Class | | Beginning Account Value 9/1/17 | | | Ending Account Value 2/28/18 | | | Expenses Paid for the 6 months ended 2/28/18* | |
Institutional | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,075.50 | | | | 0.36 | |
Hypothetical 5% return | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,024.45 | + | | | 0.35 | |
| + | | Hypothetical expenses are based on each Fund’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. | |
| * | | Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’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, 2018. 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 0.07%. | |

The reports concerning the Fund included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Fund in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Fund, 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 Fund.

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, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), global economic growth indicators, shifting expectations about central bank policy, rising corporate earnings and a general lack of negative financial headlines drove the performance of the financial markets. U.S. stocks posted double-digit gains, generally outpacing other developed markets stocks, which also generated positive returns. In contrast, the fixed income markets overall recorded negative returns.
Equity Markets
When the Reporting Period began in September 2017, U.S. and international stocks overall advanced. In the U.S., economic activity and labor market data showed consistent strength, with the reversal in August of five consecutive downside inflation surprises, the unemployment rate down to 4.2% in September and the Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growing at an annualized rate above 3% during the third calendar quarter. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) kept monetary policy unchanged at its September policy meeting and revised down its inflation forecast. Investor sentiment in Japan deteriorated amid North Korean missile launches and escalating geopolitical tensions, while in Europe, the disputed independence referendum in Catalonia, Spain was negative for risk sentiment. The Japanese Prime Minister’s landslide victory in October 2017 reassured markets, signaling a continuation of current policies. Progress on tax reform and strong economic activity data was supportive of U.S. equities during October and November 2017. In December, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) delivered its third interest rate hike of 2017, having previously raised rates in March and June, and maintained its projections for three interest rate hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of the calendar year from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
U.S. and international equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, the $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform plan and robust corporate earnings across the U.S., Europe and Japan. Fourth quarter 2017 U.S. GDP came in below the growth rates recorded in the second and third calendar quarters but was still at a respectable annualized rate of 2.5%. The U.S. labor market also continued to highlight the tightening of slack in the economy during
1
MARKET REVIEW
January 2018. In Japan, concerns around a strengthening yen increased, driven by the Bank of Japan’s announcement of reduced Japanese government bond purchases, which were interpreted as a withdrawal from its ultra-accommodative monetary policy.
In February 2018, U.S. and international equities sold off on market speculation about a faster pace of Fed interest rate hikes, which led to a sharp rise in yields and volatility. Robust U.S. labor market data sparked the initial “risk-off” sentiment, or reduced risk appetite. Concerns about Fed monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. inflation data. New Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed policy meeting, surprised the markets with its hawkish tilt. (Hawkish tilt suggests higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Renewed concerns about the increasingly hostile exchanges between North Korea and the White House, as well as heightened European political risk ahead of Italian general elections and a grand coalition referendum in Germany, further fueled volatility. On February 5, 2018, the CBOE Volatility Index® (“VIX®”), a measure of volatility in the U.S. equity market, recorded its largest ever one day increase. Though the S&P 500® Index posted a negative return for February 2018, the U.S. equity markets rallied after February 8th, and the VIX® declined from a month high of 50.30 to end the Reporting Period at 19.85.
Fixed Income Markets
In September 2017, when the Reporting Period started, government bond sectors sold off and spread (or non-government bond) sectors generally advanced. The Fed kept its monetary policy unchanged but unveiled its plans for balance sheet normalization, set to begin in October 2017. (Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed is taking to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.) This prompted some hawkish market reaction, with the U.S. dollar strengthening and yields on U.S. government bonds rising, though the move had been largely anticipated given earlier signaling by policymakers. The central banks of other developed countries also set the stage for less accommodative monetary policy. The Bank of England (“BoE”) noted “a majority” of its policymakers were in favor of tightening policy “over the coming months,” while the Bank of Canada (“BoC”) surprised the markets with its second interest rate hike of 2017. The market’s expectations for a BoE rate hike in November 2017, along with a constructive tone for Brexit negotiations, drove the British pound higher versus the U.S. dollar. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to leave the European Union.)
During the fourth calendar quarter, spread sector performance was broadly positive, supported by ongoing strength in the global macroeconomic environment and contained market, macro and political volatility. Passage of U.S. tax legislation and solid corporate earnings were particularly supportive of U.S. corporate credit. In October 2017, the ECB announced it would reduce its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion for nine months beginning in January 2018, mainly by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. The ECB also said its policy rates would remain low for “an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of the net asset purchases.” During the same month, the BoE reversed an emergency interest rate cut, made in August 2016 following the Brexit referendum, and signaled that future monetary policy tightening would be limited, gradual and dependent on the economic reaction to the U.K.’s eventual departure from the European Union. As mentioned previously, the Fed raised short-term interest rates at its December policy meeting. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, indicated that three interest

MARKET REVIEW
rate increases were on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. The U.S. dollar weakened versus many developed markets currencies during the fourth quarter of 2017.
Ongoing momentum in global economic growth and accommodative financial conditions supported spread sectors in January 2018, though a pickup in interest rate volatility near month end and into February tempered performance. The Fed and ECB kept their respective monetary policies unchanged, while the BoC delivered another interest rate hike. Fed policymakers noted they expect “further” gradual adjustments in monetary policy, suggesting there might be scope for upward revisions to their median projections for three interest rate hikes in 2018. The U.S. dollar continued to weaken relative to most developed markets currencies in January 2018, despite higher U.S. interest rates.
The equity market volatility at the start of February 2018 upset long-standing correlations between asset classes and among currencies. In this environment, spread sectors turned in mixed results. After the new Fed chair, Jerome Powell, noted an improvement in the outlook for the U.S. economy since the Fed’s December 2017 policy meeting, U.S. Treasury yields rose as the markets anticipated a shift in the Fed’s dot plot at its March 2018 meeting. In February 2018, the U.S. dollar strengthened against most major currencies, except the Japanese yen.
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we were focused on three macro themes. First, we expected the global economic expansion to continue in 2018. We believed the economies of emerging markets countries were likely to outperform, which should widen the gap between their economic growth and that of developed market countries broadly. Second, we thought the tax legislation passed by the U.S. Congress in December 2017 was likely to stimulate U.S. economic growth and riskier asset classes assets in the short term, which should, in turn, boost optimism about corporate earnings. In the long term, however, further deterioration in the U.S.’ fiscal deficit when the economy has little slack raises the possibility of overheating. (A fiscal deficit occurs when a government’s total expenditures exceed the revenue that it generates, excluding money from borrowings. An overheating economy is one that has experienced a prolonged period of economic growth, leading to high levels of inflation.) Third, with inflation inching closer to central bank targets, it appeared more developed markets policymakers were either preparing to or were already normalizing interest rates. That said, tighter monetary policy had yet to flow through to financial conditions, in our view, which could cause economic growth to moderate. Relative to Fed policy at the end of the Reporting Period, we expected three or four interest rate hikes in 2018.

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, 2018 (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 5.28% and 5.54%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.90% 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 -2.18% and 9.06% 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. |
| During the period since their inception on December 29, 2017 through February 28, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.33% compared to the 0.68% cumulative total return of the EDGE Composite Index. The components of the EDGE Composite Index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI ACWI IMI, generated cumulative total returns of -2.09% and 1.13%, respectively, during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors affected the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s strategic weightings hampered its performance versus the EDGE Composite Index. Our tactical asset allocation decisions (“tactical tilts”) added to relative returns. The overall performance of the Underlying Funds detracted from the Portfolio’s results. |
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 its 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 ten Underlying Funds. Nine 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 eight of the nine Underlying Strategic Funds, three of which underperformed their respective benchmark indices. (The Portfolio did not have an allocation to the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund during the Reporting Period.) One of the Underlying Strategic Funds that underperformed in relative terms—the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund—is one of two in which the Portfolio invested a significant percentage of its equity allocation. The Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Small |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Cap Equity Insights Fund also underperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period. |
| The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, the other Underlying Fund in which the Portfolio invested a significant percentage of its equity allocation, outperformed its benchmark index. The Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund also outperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period. In addition, the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund and the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund, which were added as Underlying Funds in September 2017, outperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period overall. |
| The Portfolio’s Underlying Tactical Fund outperformed its cash benchmark index by approximately 65 basis points1 during the Reporting Period. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percent.) |
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 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 | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio also utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take positions in the British pound, euro, Australian dollar, Swiss franc and Japanese yen. Overall, the Portfolio’s strategic weightings detracted from performance during the Reporting Period. |
| 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 | | As mentioned previously, two new Underlying Funds — the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund and the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund — were added to 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, 2018 (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 7.75% and 7.95%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.90% 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 -2.18% and 9.06% 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. |
| During the period since their inception on December 29, 2017 through February 28, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 0.64% compared to the 0.68% cumulative total return of the TAG Composite Index. The components of the TAG Composite Index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI ACWI IMI, generated cumulative total returns of -2.09% and 1.13%, respectively, during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors affected the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s strategic weightings detracted from its performance versus the TAG Composite Index. It benefited from our tactical asset allocation decisions (“tactical tilts”). The overall performance of the Underlying Funds also added to the Portfolio’s relative returns. |
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 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 nine Underlying Funds. Eight 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 seven of the eight 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.) 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. The Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund also outperformed its benchmark index. In addition, the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund |

| and the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund, which were added as Underlying Funds in September 2017, outperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period overall. |
| The Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund underperformed their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period. |
| The Portfolio’s Underlying Tactical Fund outperformed its cash benchmark index by more than 65 basis points1 during the Reporting Period. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percent.) |
Q | | How did the Portfolio use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio also utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take positions in the British pound, euro, Australian dollar, Swiss franc and Japanese yen. Overall, the Portfolio’s strategic weightings detracted from performance during the Reporting Period. |
| 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 | | As mentioned previously, two new Underlying Funds—the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund and the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund—were added to 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. |

| 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, 2018, 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. |

| | Class R6 | | | N/A | | | | N/A | | | | 0.00 | | | 12/29/17 |
| 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 5.50% for Class A Shares. Because Institutional Shares 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 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, 2018, 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 before taxes* | | | 12.06 | % | | | 9.92 | % | | | 6.06 | % |
| | Return after taxes on distributions** | | | 11.80 | | | | 9.42 | | | | 5.65 | |
| | Return after taxes on distributions and sale of Portfolio shares*** | | | 7.04 | | | | 7.76 | | | | 4.78 | |
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 for 2017, 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 5.50% 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, 2018 (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, Institutional and R6(a) | | Diversified |
(a) | | Commenced operations on December 29, 2017. |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Institutional Shares and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“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 acts as the investment adviser. 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 valuation policy of the Portfolios and Underlying Funds is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, 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. Distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) 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.
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

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 translation. 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. In-Kind Transactions — Each Portfolio may allow investors, under certain circumstances, to purchase shares with securities instead of cash. In addition, the Trust reserves the right to redeem an investor’s shares by distributing securities instead of cash. These are known as in-kind transactions. Securities included as part of in-kind purchases and redemptions of Portfolio shares are valued in the same manner as they are valued for purposes of computing a Portfolio’s NAV, in accordance with the Portfolios’ Valuation Procedures, and such valuations are as of the date the trade is submitted pursuant to the procedures specified in the Portfolios’ prospectus.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Portfolios’ policy is to use the market approach. 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:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or 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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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.
26
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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.
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 exchange 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolios and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Portfolios, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of 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;

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 each 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, 2018, and prior to such date, GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.
B. Distribution and/or 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, 2018,

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
Goldman Sachs advised that it retained front-end sales charges of $1,937 and $0 for the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio and Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio, respectively.
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: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 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 underlying fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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. These Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolios is 0.014%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018, 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 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, 2018, 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 | | | | $ | 232,850 | | | $ | 66,206 | | | $ | 2,731 | | | $ | 301,787 | |
Tax-Advantaged Global Equity | | | | | 841,483 | | | | 53,331 | | | | 8,446 | | | | 903,260 | |
F. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2018, 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, 2018, the Portfolios did not have any borrowings under the facility.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of February 28, 2018, the Portfolios’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Enhanced Dividend Global Equity | | | Tax-Advantaged Global Equity | |
Tax cost | | $ | 565,391,067 | | | $ | 1,900,039,850 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 129,734,693 | | | | 737,417,017 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (28,978,788 | ) | | | (74,447,792 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | $ | 100,755,905 | | | $ | 662,969,225 | |
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 (including repatriation restrictions), 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 foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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, 2018, the Enhanced Dividend Global Equity Portfolio invested 44.0% and 21.6% 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 capitalization of the S&P 500® at the time of investment. This Underlying Fund expects that, under normal circumstances, it will write (sell) call options on the S&P 500® Index or related exchange-traded funds in an amount that is between 20% 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 (sell) 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 20% and 75% of the value of its portfolio.
As of February 28, 2018, the Tax-Advantaged Global Equity Portfolio invested 52.2% and 21.4% 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 a Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s performance to the extent that the Portfolio or the Underlying Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL TAX-AWARE EQUITY PORTFOLIOS
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Institutional or Class R6 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, Institutional and Class R6 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, 2017 through February 28, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year. The Class R6 Example is based on the period from January 02, 2018 through February 28, 2018, which represents a period of 58 out of 365 days.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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.

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, 2018 (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, noteworthy events influencing the front, or short-term, end of the taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves included a Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hike and its start of balance sheet normalization as well as action by other central banks, including the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) tapering of asset purchases. (Yield curve is a spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths. Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed is taking to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.) |
| In December 2017, the Fed delivered its third rate hike of the calendar year, raising the targeted federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range between 1.25% and 1.50%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Policymakers cited ongoing strength in the U.S. labor market and a pickup in household spending and business fixed investment. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, indicated that three rate increases were on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. During February 2018, new Fed chair Jerome Power noted an improvement in the U.S. economic outlook since the Fed’s December 2017 policy meeting. His comments were met with a hawkish market reaction, with U.S. Treasury yields climbing amid raised market expectations for a shift in the Fed’s dot plot at its March 2018 meeting. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) |
| Outside the U.S., the ECB announced in October 2017 that it would reduce its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion for nine months beginning in January 2018, mainly by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. The ECB also said its policy rates would remain low for “an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of the net asset purchases.” Also in October 2017, the Bank of England reversed an emergency interest rate cut, made in August 2016 following the Brexit referendum, and signaled that future monetary policy tightening would be limited, gradual and dependent on the economic reaction to the U.K.’s eventual departure from the European Union. |
| In the tax-exempt money market, investment inflows increased from approximately $128 billion in August 2017 to $136 billion in February 2018. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) Municipal Swap Index, representing seven-day tax-exempt variable rate demand obligations, rose 30 basis points, from 0.79% on August 31, 2017 to 1.09% on February 28, 2018. Furthermore, three-month and one-month LIBOR were at 2.02% and 1.67%, respectively, at the end of the Reporting Period. (LIBOR, or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, is the interest rate that banks charge each other for short-term loans.) The ratio of the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index to LIBOR continued to average less than 71%, as it has since 1997. |
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 occurred primarily because of the economic and market factors discussed above. The taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves flattened, meaning yields on shorter-term maturities rose more than those on longer-term maturities. |
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 (“VRDNs”), certificates of deposit, short-term corporate obligations, tender option bonds, municipal debt and non-U.S. sovereign government debt. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | In the taxable Fund, we maintained a rather short weighted average maturity of approximately 20 days, as the Fed continued to signal the likelihood of a December 2017 interest rate hike. We focused Fund purchases on floating rate securities and agency securities, which offered what we considered attractive opportunities. |
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 VRDNs, short-term tax-exempt securities, non-financial tax-exempt commercial paper and other municipal securities. |
| We maintained a rather short weighted average maturity of approximately 15 days in the tax-exempt Fund, as the Fed continued to signal the likelihood of a December 2017 interest rate hike. |
Q | | How did you manage the Funds’ weighted average life during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we managed the weighted average life of the taxable and tax-exempt Funds below 120 days. In the taxable Fund, we maintained a weighted average life in a range between 75 days and 83 days during the first three months of the Reporting Period. Through December 2017 and January 2018, we allowed the weighted average life of the taxable Fund to shorten to approximately 58 days. We then extended it to approximately 76 days during February 2018. In the tax-exempt Fund, we maintained a weighted average life in a range between 20 days and 32 days during the first three months of the Reporting Period. Through December 2017 and January 2018, we allowed the weighted average life to shorten to approximately 16 days, which we maintained through February 2018. The weighted average life of a money market fund is a measure of a money market fund’s price sensitivity to changes in liquidity and/or credit risk. |
| Under amendments to SEC Rule 2a-7 that became effective in May 2010, the maximum allowable weighted average life of a money market fund is 120 days. While one of the goals of the SEC’s money market fund rule is to reinforce conservative investment practices across the money market fund industry, our security selection process has long emphasized conservative investment choices. |
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 the U.S. to continue to take the lead in unwinding the ultra-accommodative monetary policy put in place following the global financial crisis. We think the Fed will raise interest rates three times in 2018 and continue balance sheet normalization. Although we believe the markets have interpreted Jerome Powell’s appointment as Fed Chair as preserving continuity at the Fed, the high turnover on the Federal Open Market Committee could challenge the status quo, in our view, as Powell will need to build consensus among policymakers, some of whom have yet to be nominated. Elsewhere, we see scope for several developed markets’ central banks, including the Bank of Canada and Reserve Bank of New Zealand, to tighten monetary policy because of domestic economic strength in those nations. In contrast, we anticipate prolonged monetary policy accommodation in Europe and Japan, where core inflation appears to lack upward momentum. |
| Overall, the taxable and tax-exempt Funds continue to be flexibly guided by shifting market conditions, and we have positioned them to seek to take advantage of anticipated interest rate movements. At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed floating rate securities as offering value, and we intend to adjust duration guided by the context of market pricing in relation to our expectations. As always, we intend to 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 taxable and tax-exempt money market yield curves, as we strive to navigate the interest rate environment. |

The returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment returns will fluctuate. 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.
| 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) or administration and/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) or 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%. If these fees were reflected in the above performance, performance would have been reduced. In addition, the Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. The performance shown above reflects any waivers or reimbursements that were in effect for all or a portion of the periods shown. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the Fund’s operating expenses are reduced and the Fund’s yield and total returns to the shareholder are increased. |
| 3 | | 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. A Fund’s total return assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. |

| 7 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) of Class I Shares as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield is not a Standardized Total Return. |
Because Class I Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.
The yields and returns represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Funds’ investment yields and returns will fluctuate as market conditions change. 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 yields and 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.
| 8 | | The SEC 7-Day Current Yield figures are as of 12/31/17 and are calculated in accordance with securities industry regulations and do not include net capital gains. SEC 7-Day Current Yield may differ slightly from the actual distribution rate of a given Fund because of the exclusion of distributed capital gains, which are non-recurring. The SEC 7-Day Current Yield more closely reflects a Fund’s current earnings than do the Standardized Total Return figures. |

| 9 | | The 7-Day Distribution Yield is an annualized measure of a Fund’s dividends per share, divided by the price per share. This yield can include capital gain/loss distribution, if any. This is not an SEC Yield. |

Index Definitions
ICE® BofAML® 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.
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.
It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2018 (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, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C | | Diversified |
Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market | | Class I, Select, Preferred, Capital, Administration, Premier, Service, Resource, Cash Management, Class A and Class C | | 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.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“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.
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 accretion or 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), if any, 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, Service, Distribution and Service, Administration, Service and Administration, and Shareholder Administration fees and Transfer Agency 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.

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 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. A Fund may defer or accelerate the timing of the distributions of short-term capital gains (or any portion thereof).
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. 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 |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to
29

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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’ 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, 2018, 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.
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.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
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.

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, 2018, 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, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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, 2018, 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.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
Fund Effective Net Expenses (After Waivers and Reimbursements)
The investment adviser may contractually agree to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses until a specified date. The investment adviser may also voluntarily waive certain fees and expenses, and such voluntary waivers may be discontinued or modified at any time without notice. The performance shown above reflects any waivers or reimbursements that were in effect for all or a portion of the periods shown. When waivers or reimbursements are in place, the Fund’s operating expenses are reduced and the Fund’s yield and total returns to the shareholder are increased. Prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM contractually agreed to not impose a portion of the management fee equal annually to 0.045% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. During the six months ended February 28, 2018, GSAM and Goldman Sachs (as applicable) agreed to waive all or a portion of the management fees and respective class-specific fees described above attributable to the Funds. 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, 2018, expense reductions including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements were as follows (in thousands):

For the six months ended February 28, 2018, the net effective management fee rate for each of the Funds was 0.16%.
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, 2018, 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

I. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2018, 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
32
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDS — INVESTOR FUNDS
|
4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
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, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.
As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2017, the Funds’ certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Investor Money Market | | | Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market | |
Timing differences (Distribution Payable) | | $ | (121,563 | ) | | $ | (435,065 | ) |
At February 28, 2018, the aggregate cost for each Fund stated in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities also represents 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 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.
33

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

|
6. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 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.

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, administration and/or shareholder 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, 2017 through February 28, 2018, 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.

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, 2018 (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 0.23%. This compares to the 4.22% 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 10.84% and -2.18%, respectively, during the Reporting Period. |
| During the period since their inception on December 29, 2017 through February 28, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -3.42% compared to the -0.08% cumulative total return of the Index. 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 1.83% and -2.09%, respectively, during the same period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Portfolio as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, global economic growth indicators, shifting expectations about central bank policy, rising corporate earnings and a general lack of negative financial headlines influenced the financial markets and the Portfolio. U.S. stocks posted double-digit gains, while the fixed income markets recorded negative returns. |
| When the Reporting Period began in September 2017, U.S. stocks advanced. Economic activity and labor market data showed consistent strength, with the reversal in August of five consecutive downside inflation surprises, the unemployment rate down to 4.2% in September and the Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growing at an annualized rate above 3% during the third calendar quarter. Progress on tax reform and strong economic activity data was supportive of U.S. equities during October and November 2017. While December 2017 payroll data undershot consensus expectations, November 2017 data was revised such that the U.S. unemployment rate stood at a 17-year low of 4.1% and average hourly earnings ticked up. In December, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) delivered the third interest rate hike of 2017, having previously raised rates in March and June, and maintained its projections for three hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of the calendar year from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The fourth quarter of 2017 marked the ninth consecutive quarter of positive returns for the S&P 500® Index, its strongest quarterly advance in four years. |
| U.S. equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, the $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform plan and robust corporate earnings across the U.S., Europe and Japan. Fourth quarter 2017 U.S. GDP came in below the growth rates recorded in the second and third calendar quarters but was still at a respectable annualized rate of 2.5%. The labor market also continued to highlight the tightening of slack in the economy during January 2018. U.S. corporate earnings showed strong revenue and earnings growth relative to historical data. Companies were beginning to provide discrete guidance on tax rates, and 2018 earnings forecasts were being upgraded as a result. The S&P 500® Index saw 14 closing highs in the month of January 2018. |
| In February 2018, U.S. equities sold off on market speculation about a faster pace of Fed interest rate hikes, |

| which led to a sharp rise in yields and volatility. Robust labor market data sparked the initial “risk-off” sentiment, or reduced risk appetite, as nonfarm payroll employment increased by 200,000 in January 2018. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%, and average hourly earnings rose 0.34% month over month. Concerns about Fed monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. inflation data. New Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed policy meeting, surprised the markets with its hawkish tilt. (A hawkish tilt suggests higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Renewed concerns about the increasingly hostile exchanges between North Korea and the White House further fueled volatility. On February 5, 2018, the CBOE Volatility Index® (“VIX®”), a measure of volatility in the U.S. equity market, recorded its largest ever one day increase. Though the S&P 500® Index posted a negative return for February 2018, the U.S. equity markets rallied after February 8th and the VIX® declined from a month high of 50.30 to end the Reporting Period at 19.85. |
| As for the fixed income markets, government bond sectors sold off and spread (or non-government bond) sectors generally advanced during September 2017. The Fed kept its monetary policy unchanged but unveiled its plans for balance sheet normalization, set to begin in October 2017. (Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed is taking to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.) This prompted some hawkish market reaction, with yields on U.S. government bonds rising, though the move had been largely anticipated given earlier signaling by policymakers. The central banks of other developed countries also set the stage for less accommodative monetary policy. The Bank of England (“BoE”) noted “a majority” of its policymakers were in favor of tightening policy “over the coming months,” while the Bank of Canada (“BoC”) surprised the markets with its second interest rate hike of 2017. |
| During the fourth calendar quarter, spread sector performance was broadly positive, supported by ongoing strength in the global macro environment and contained market, macro and political volatility. Passage of U.S. tax legislation and solid corporate earnings were particularly supportive of U.S. corporate credit. In October 2017, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) announced it would reduce its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion for nine months beginning in January 2018, mainly by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. The ECB also said its policy rates would remain low for “an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of the net asset purchases.” During the same month, the BoE reversed an emergency interest rate cut, made in August 2016 following the Brexit referendum, and signaled that future monetary policy tightening would be limited, gradual and dependent on the economic reaction to the U.K.’s eventual departure from the European Union. As mentioned previously, the Fed raised short-term interest rates at its December policy meeting. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, indicated that three rate increases were on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. |
| Ongoing momentum in global economic growth and accommodative financial conditions supported spread sectors in January 2018, though a pickup in interest rate volatility near month end and into February tempered performance. The Fed and ECB kept their respective monetary policies unchanged, while the BoC delivered another interest rate hike. Fed policymakers noted they expect “further” gradual adjustments in monetary policy, suggesting there might be scope for upward revisions to their median projections for three rate hikes in 2018. |
| The equity market volatility at the start of February 2018 upset long-standing correlations between asset classes and among currencies. In this environment, spread sectors turned in mixed results. After Jerome Powell noted an improvement in the outlook for the U.S. economy since the Fed’s December 2017 policy meeting, U.S. Treasury yields rose, as the markets anticipated a shift in the Fed’s dot plot at its March 2018 meeting. |
| In the currency markets, the U.S. dollar weakened versus many developed markets currencies during September 2017 and the fourth calendar quarter. In particular, market expectations for a BoE rate hike in November 2017, along with a constructive tone for Brexit negotiations, drove the British pound higher versus the U.S. dollar. In January 2018, the U.S. dollar weakened further against most developed markets currencies despite higher U.S. interest rates. However, in February 2018, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to most major currencies, except the Japanese yen. |
| What were the primary contributors to and detractors from the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
| The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective through the implementation of the Goldman Sachs Strategic |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| 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 added marginally to the Portfolio’s absolute performance. The Equity factor contributed positively to returns, while the Term, Volatility and Flow factors detracted from results. |
| In terms of underlying asset classes and instruments, the Portfolio’s allocation to U.S. fixed income hurt performance. Allocations to U.S. equities and listed U.S. equity index options bolstered returns. The Portfolio’s allocations to developed markets currencies, accomplished through forward foreign currency exchange contracts, generated mixed results. More specifically, the Portfolio benefited from its positions in the British pound, Australian dollar and Japanese yen. It was hurt by its positions in the Canadian dollar and Swiss franc. The impact of the Portfolio’s positions in the euro and New Zealand dollar did not have a meaningful impact on performance during the Reporting Period. |
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 maintained 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, British pound and Japanese yen. It held short positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Swiss franc, euro and New Zealand dollar. The Portfolio did not hold a position versus the U.S. dollar in the Australian dollar at the beginning of the Reporting Period. |
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, which also detracted from performance. In addition, the Portfolio utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take long and short positions in select developed markets currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts had a slightly positive 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 equal weightings in the Equity, Term, Flow and Volatility factors. |
| 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 Swiss franc, British pound and Japanese yen. It held short positions versus the U.S. dollar in the New Zealand dollar and Australian dollar. The Portfolio did not hold positions versus the U.S. dollar in the Canadian dollar or euro at the end of the Reporting Period. |
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 Goldman Sachs Strategic Factor Allocation process as it seeks long-term total return. |

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, 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Portfolio may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Portfolio are charged to the Portfolio, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the Portfolio 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 Transfer Agency fees.
D. 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, 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 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.
E. 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 translation. 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 |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Portfolio’s policy is to use the market approach. 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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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 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 exchange 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio and cash collateral received, 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 Schedule of Investments.
iii. Options — When the Portfolio writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by 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 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.

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
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, 2018. 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Risk | | Statement of Operations | | Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | | Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) | | | Average Number of Contracts(a) | |

(a) | | Average number of contracts is based on the average of month end balances for the period ended February 28, 2018. |
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 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 Schedule 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, 2018, 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, 2018. 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 (“Government Money Market Fund”), which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. 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 the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Portfolio invests, except those management fees it earns from the Portfolio’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund. For the six months ended February 28, 2018, GSAM waived $927,213 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: of 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares.
C. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolio (excluding acquired (underlying) fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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 limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolio is 0.164%. The Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least December 29, 2018, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement 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” limitation described above.
D. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2018, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Portfolio did not have any borrowings under the facility.
E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 28, 2018, Goldman Sachs did not earn any brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Portfolio.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
As of February 28, 2018 The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 100% of Class R6 Shares 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, 2018:

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended February 28, 2018, were $ 2,824,744,690, and $ 2,667,108,190, respectively.
As of the Portfolio’s most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, the Portfolio had no capital loss carryforwards nor certain timing differences on a tax basis.
As of February 28, 2018, the Portfolio’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 2,283,021,760 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | — | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (11,263,417 | ) |
Net unrealized gains (losses) | | $ | (11,263,417 | ) |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, options contracts and foreign currency contracts.
GSAM has reviewed the Portfolio’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior two 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.
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.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Portfolio may be subjected, 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; or natural 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 Risk — 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 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.
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.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Institutional Shares and Class R6 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 Institutional and Class R6 Shares of 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, 2017 through February 28, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365-day year (58 days for Class R6 Shares).
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, 2018. 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 is as follows: 0.71% for Institutional Share and 0.69% for Class R6 Shares. | |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Group discusses the Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the period since its inception on September 6, 2017 through February 28, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Institutional and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.19% and 0.09%. This return compares to the 0.58% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE® BofAML® U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| References to the Fund’s benchmark are for informational purposes only, and unless otherwise noted, are not indications of how the Fund is managed. The use of the Index as the Fund’s benchmark does not imply the Fund is being managed like cash and does not imply low risk or low volatility. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was influenced most by three economic and market factors. The first of these factors was the acceleration of global economic growth during the fourth quarter of 2017. Although global economic growth moderated after the beginning of 2018, it remained strong through the end of the Reporting Period. The second factor was a pickup in U.S. inflation starting in October 2017. The third factor was U.S. tax reform, which was passed by Congress in December 2017. The timing surprised the markets, as most observers had expected it to be enacted during the first quarter of 2018. |
| The ongoing global economic expansion supported strong corporate earnings growth during the Reporting Period. This, in turn, supported the performance of U.S. and other developed markets stock markets, despite investor concerns about potential trade protectionism. Regarding fixed income, global interest rates rose in anticipation of tighter monetary policies by central banks and a higher U.S. fiscal deficit than the markets previously expected. During the Reporting Period, central bank officials continued to signal the gradual removal of accommodative monetary policies based on their expectations for robust growth and diminishing slack in their respective economies. Among commodities, West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil prices rallied approximately 25% during the Reporting Period overall, pushed higher by a drop in inventories as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) cut production. In addition, demand for crude oil was strong amid the global economic growth. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective 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. |
| Within equities, the Fund benefited from its tactical long position in global equities as well as from our preference for emerging markets equities over developed markets equities. |
| Within fixed income, the Fund’s tactical breakeven inflation position, in which the Fund held a long position in Treasury inflation protected securities and a short position in U.S. Treasury futures, added to returns, as inflation increased toward the end of the Reporting Period. (The breakeven inflation rate is the difference between the nominal yield on a fixed-rate investment and the real yield on an inflation-linked investment of similar maturity and credit quality. If inflation averages more than the breakeven, the inflation-linked investment will outperform the fixed-rate. Conversely, if inflation averages below the breakeven, the fixed-rate will outperform the inflation-linked.) |
| The Fund was also helped during the Reporting Period by its long tactical position in equities versus its short tactical |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| position in fixed income, as global economic growth improved and U.S. inflation picked up. |
| Within commodities, the Fund was hampered by a short tactical position in crude oil, implemented through a short call spread strategy and long put options. (A call spread strategy involves purchasing call options at a specific strike price, while also selling the same number of calls of the same asset and expiration date but at a higher strike price. A call option is an option that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy an underlying asset at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date. A put option is an option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price within a specified time.) Crude oil prices rallied during the Reporting Period, as the balance between supply and demand tightened, largely because of production cuts by OPEC, supply disruptions in Venezuela and increases in geopolitical risk. At the same time, demand remained strong in line with global economic activity. In addition, during the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by a short tactical position in gold, as gold prices benefited from a weaker U.S. dollar. |
| Within currencies, a short tactical position in the South Korean won and a long tactical position in the Turkish lira detracted from the Fund’s returns. The South Korean won appreciated due to the strengthening global manufacturing cycle. The Turkish lira suffered as Turkey’s real interest rates became unattractive, in our view, because of rising inflation. Furthermore, the U.S.-Turkey relationship deteriorated during the fourth quarter of 2017 after locally employed staff at the U.S. consulate were detained over alleged links to an attempted coup in 2016. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund had approximately 46.74% of its total net assets in long equity-related investments; approximately 114.18% of its total net assets in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 2.50% of its total net assets in long commodity-related investments; and approximately 48.00% of its total net assets in long currency-related investments. It had short positions of approximately -43.34% of its total net assets in equity-related investments; approximately -101.31% of its total net assets in fixed income-related assets; approximately -2.51% of its total net assets in commodity-related investments; and approximately -48.00% of its total net assets in currency-related investments. These positions were accomplished through the use of exchange traded funds, equity futures, equity index options, interest rates futures, crude oil options and currency forwards. |
Q | | How did you tactically manage the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, in response to shifting macroeconomic and market dynamics, we made a number of changes to the Fund’s tactical exposures. First, we increased the Fund’s position in equities. We believed that improving global economic growth would support corporate earnings, which should lead to higher equity returns, in our view. Second, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to interest rates by decreasing its tactical breakeven inflation position and increasing its long position in U.S.-dollar denominated emerging markets debt, as U.S. Treasury yields climbed during the Reporting Period. Although we believed yields would continue to rise, we took advantage of the opportunity to capture gains. Third, we shifted the Fund from a neutral position in crude oil to a short position in December 2017, as WTI crude oil prices inched toward the top end of our expected $40 to $60 price range. In our opinion, the increase in prices would be capped by growing U.S. shale production. Finally, we favored emerging markets currencies, mostly versus the Swiss franc and Japanese yen, throughout the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund used derivatives and similar instruments as part of its investment strategy to express views implemented in the Fund. Positions were supported predominantly by cash held in the Fund specifically to cover its exposure to derivative instruments and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund employed foreign exchange currency forward contracts to express our currency views, which detracted from performance. The Fund benefited from the use of equity futures and equity index options to gain exposure to or express our bullish and/or bearish views about the equities of certain countries. Eurodollar futures, which were used to express our views on the pace of U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, contributed positively to performance. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. The Fund’s use of call and put options to express our views on crude oil prices had a negative impact on returns during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How was the Fund positioned at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had approximately 43.25% of its total net assets in long equity-related investments; approximately 113.85% of its total net assets in long fixed income-related investments; 0% of its total net assets in long commodity-related investments; and approximately 37.00% of its total net assets in long currency-related investments. It had short positions of approximately -22.59% of its total net assets in equity-related investments; approximately -101.75% of its total net assets in fixed income-related investments; and -37.00% of its total net assets in currency-related investments. These positions were accomplished through the use of exchange traded funds, equity futures, equity index options, interest rates futures, crude oil options and currency forwards. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the global economy to continue expanding, though at a more moderate pace in the near term than during 2017. Therefore, we think corporate earnings may continue to grow, supporting equity prices overall. In our view, global equities are likely to deliver positive returns during the 2018 calendar year. |
| Regarding fixed income, we think global yields will continue rising, driven by diminishing economic slack and higher inflation around the world. However, we believe intermediate-term yields will rise more slowly during the last 10 months of 2018 than they did during January and February. |
| Within the commodities markets, OPEC production cuts, Venezuelan supply outages and increased geopolitical risk caused oil prices to rally significantly during the Reporting Period. As a result, at the end of February 2018, crude oil prices were well above the cost of production for what we consider marginal producers. Longer term, we expect U.S. shale producers and other efficient producers to take advantage of this opportunity to ramp up production. In the short term, we believe crude oil prices will likely remain elevated, as Venezuelan production continues to decline and if, as we expect, OPEC extends supply cuts. |
| In terms of positioning, we favored equities over corporate credit and corporate credit over government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. Within equities, we prefer emerging markets equities, as we expect emerging markets economic growth to accelerate further relative to developed markets economic growth. Additionally, emerging markets equities appeared undervalued relative to developed markets equities, in our opinion. Within fixed income, we are expressing our view that yields will likely rise through the Fund’s long U.S. breakeven inflation position and its short position in Eurodollar futures. |
| At the end of the Reporting Period, we saw three risks that might cause us to modify the Fund’s positioning. The first is an escalation in trade protectionism, though we believed trade tensions were contained at the end of the Reporting Period and unlikely to impact global economic growth. Should a trade war emerge, however, we may reduce the Fund’s equity exposure, especially its exposure to emerging markets equities. The second risk is that inflation increases at a faster pace than we anticipate. Higher inflation might lead us to reduce the Fund’s long equity positions and increase its short fixed income positions. The third risk is a slowdown in global economic growth, though this is not our base case. That said, we may reevaluate the Fund’s positioning in growth-sensitive assets, such as equities and emerging markets currencies, if weakness in macroeconomic data, seen in the closing months of the Reporting Period, extends into the second quarter of 2018. |

| | Institutional Shares | | | 0.19 | % | | | 0.58 | % |
| | Class R6 Shares | | | 0.09 | | | | 0.58 | |
| 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 assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The ICE® BofAML® U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”) tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The Index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument. The Index figure does not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| | Institutional Shares | | | -0.82 | % | | 9/6/17 |
| | Class R6 Shares | | | -0.82 | | | 9/6/17 |
| 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. Because Institutional Shares and Class R6 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.

Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2018 (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 Tactical Exposure Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified fund and currently offers two classes of shares — Institutional and Class R6 Shares. The Fund commenced operations on September 6, 2017. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Fund 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. Basis of Consolidation for Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund — Cayman Commodity-TEX, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on June 27, 2017 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund to enable the Fund to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of September 6, 2017, and it is intended that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of February 28, 2018, the Fund’s net assets were $256,842,638, of which, $13,895,873, or 5.4%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets.
B. Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
C. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Fund may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date.
D. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of the Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Fund are charged to the Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the Fund 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 Transfer Agency fees.
E. Offering and Organization Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the initial offering of shares of the Fund are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations. Organization costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund were expensed on the first day of operations.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
F. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the 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 Fund 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, 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 the 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 Fund’s net assets on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
G. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Fund 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. 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 |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. 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 Fund’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 Fund, 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 Fund’s 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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, and are generally classified as Level 2.
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 Fund invests in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’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 Fund 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 exchange contract is a forward contract in which the Fund 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 Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value

and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
iii. Options — When the Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
iv. Swap Contracts — Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss.
A total return swap is an agreement that gives the Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, the Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.
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 Fund’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 Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

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

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, 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 Fund’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 Fund’s average daily net assets. For the period ended February 28, 2018, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Contractual Management Rate | | | | |
First $2 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Over $8 billion | | | Effective Fee Rate | | | Effective Net Management Fee Rate^ | |
| 0.75% | | | | 0.68% | | | | 0.64% | | | | 0.63% | | | | 0.75% | | | | 0.60% | |
^ | | Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. |
The Fund invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Goldman Sach Financial Square Government Fund and the Goldman Sachs MLP Energy Infrastructure Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment advisor to any of the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. For the period ended February 28, 2018, GSAM waived $177,216 of the Fund’s management fee.
GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiary pursuant to a Subsidiary Management Agreement (the “Subsidiary Agreement”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary’s management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement. For the period ended February 28, 2018, GSAM waived $28,969 of the Subsidiary’s management fee. This waiver represents an inter-fund transaction and, accordingly, has been eliminated in consolidation.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
B. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Fund 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: 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares; and 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 Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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 Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is 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 Fund is 0.044%. This Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least September 6, 2018, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Fund’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitation described above.
For the period ended February 28, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Management Fee Waiver | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Expense Reductions | |

GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current year) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Fund’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 Fund. 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 being hedged, if any.
Foreign and Emerging 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 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 the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies)

|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Geographic Risk — If the Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, it will subject the Fund, 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; or natural disasters.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund 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 Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Fund.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), the 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 — The 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 the Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the 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 the 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 the 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.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the 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 Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Sector Risk — To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Fund may be subjected, 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.
Tax Risk — The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary and/or commodity index-linked structured notes, as applicable. Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued private letter rulings (“PLRs”) in which the IRS specifically concluded that income and gains from investments in commodity index-linked structured notes or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments are “qualifying income” for purposes of compliance with Subchapter M of the Code. However, the Fund has not received a PLR, and is not able to rely on
25
GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND
Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 2018 (Unaudited)
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
PLRs issued to other taxpayers. Additionally, the IRS has suspended the granting of such PLRs, pending review of its position on this matter. The IRS also recently issued proposed regulations that, if finalized, would generally treat the Fund’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income only if there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of a subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion. The proposed regulations, if adopted, would apply to taxable years beginning on or after 90 days after the regulations are published as final.
The IRS also recently issued a revenue procedure, which states that the IRS will not in the future issue PLRs that would require a determination of whether an asset (such as a commodity index-linked note) is a “security” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund has obtained an opinion of counsel that the Fund’s income from such investments should constitute “qualifying income.” However, no assurances can be provided that the IRS would not be able to successfully assert that the Fund’s income from such investments was not “qualifying income,” in which case the Fund would fail to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code if over 10% of its gross income were derived from these investments. If the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC, it would be subject to federal and state income tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. This would significantly adversely affect the returns to, and could cause substantial losses for Fund shareholders.
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 Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Consolidated 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 — Period Ended February 28, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Institutional and Class R6 Shares of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing Institutional or Class R6 Shares of the Fund 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 6, 2017 through February 28, 2018, which represents a period of 176 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 Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’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 Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| * | | Expenses for each share class are calculated using the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the period ended February 28, 2018. 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 period; 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: | |

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) that commenced investment operations on August 24, 2017. At a meeting held on August 16-17, 2017 (the “Meeting”) in connection with the Fund’s organization, the Trustees, including all of the Trustees present who are not parties to the Fund’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”) approved the Management Agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”).
At the Meeting, the Trustees reviewed the Management Agreement, including information regarding the terms of the Management Agreement; the nature, extent and quality of the Investment Adviser’s anticipated services; the fees and expenses to be paid by the Fund; a comparison of the Fund’s proposed management fees and anticipated expenses with those paid by other similar mutual funds; the Investment Adviser’s proposal to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level; and potential benefits to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund. Various information was also provided at a prior meeting at which the Fund was discussed.
In connection with the Meeting, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities under applicable law. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Meeting, the Trustees relied upon information included in a presentation made by the Investment Adviser at the Meeting and information received at prior Board meetings, as well as on their knowledge of the Investment Adviser resulting from their meetings and other interactions over time.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services to Be Provided under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that would be provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees also considered information about the Fund’s structure, investment objective, strategies, and other characteristics. The Trustees considered the experience and capabilities of the investment team and noted that the Fund’s portfolio manager was currently managing other series of the Trust. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to commit substantial financial and other resources to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, although the Fund was new (and therefore had no performance data to evaluate), the Investment Adviser had experience managing other funds and accounts that employ similar asset allocation investment strategies. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser’s management of the Fund likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
Costs of Services to Be Provided and Profitability
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates to be payable by the Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services to be rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as a registered mutual fund.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed information on the proposed management fees and the Fund’s projected total operating expense ratios (both gross and net of expense limitations), and those were compared to similar information for comparable mutual funds advised by other, unaffiliated investment management firms, as well as the peer group and category medians. The comparisons of the Fund’s fee rates and total operating expense ratios were prepared by a third-party provider of mutual fund data. The Trustees believed that this information was useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses expected to be paid by the Fund.
The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level. In addition, the Trustees recognized that there was not yet profitability data to evaluate for the Fund, but considered the Investment Adviser’s representations that (i) such data would be provided after the Fund commenced operations, and (ii) the Fund was not expected to be profitable to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates initially.
The Trustees noted the competitive nature of the fund marketplace, and that many of the Fund’s shareholders would be investing in the Fund in part because of the Fund’s relationship with the Investment Adviser. They also noted that shareholders would be able to redeem their Fund shares if they believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
29
GOLDMAN SACHS TACTICAL EXPOSURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the proposed breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Fund:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Management Fee Annual Rate | |
First $2 billion | | | 0.75 | % |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.68 | % |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.64 | % |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.63 | % |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were meant to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Fund and its shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the Fund’s projected asset levels and information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group, as well as the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level. Upon reviewing these matters, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits expected to be derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Fund; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of the Fund; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Fund’s cash collateral is invested); (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (h) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (j) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be open to doing business with other areas of Goldman Sachs.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement for the Fund at the Meeting, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fee that would be payable by the Fund was reasonable in light of the services to be provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s anticipated costs and the Fund’s reasonably anticipated asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s management likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved with respect to the Fund.

The reports concerning the Fund included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Fund in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Fund, 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 Fund. 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund’s (the “Portfolio”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2018 (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, without sales charges, of 1.25%. This return compares to the 0.60% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s benchmark, the ICE® BofAML® U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| During the period since their inception on December 29, 2017 through February 28, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.61% compared to the 0.22% cumulative total return of the Index. |
| References to the Portfolio’s benchmark and to other indices mentioned herein are for informational purposes only, and unless otherwise noted, are not indications of how the Portfolio is managed. The use of the Index as the Portfolio’s benchmark does not imply the Portfolio is being managed like cash and does not imply low risk or low volatility. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Portfolio during the Reporting Period? |
A | | When the Reporting Period began in September 2017, investor sentiment was buoyant, with developed markets equities posting positive returns amid global economic growth. Within developed markets, European stocks recorded gains due to improving macroeconomic conditions, a moderately weaker euro and rising bond yields. Japanese equities rallied on the prospect of a national election, as market participants expected the Prime Minister to retain his leadership and reinforce Abenomics. (Abenomics refers to the multi-pronged economic program of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It seeks to remedy two decades of economic stagnation by increasing Japan’s money supply, boosting government spending and enacting reforms to make the economy more competitive.) As for emerging markets equities, they started September 2017 strongly but sold off into month end in response to renewed geopolitical tensions and hawkish comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). (Hawkish comments suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) U.S. inflation data beat market expectations, which, alongside optimism about potential tax reform, pushed U.S. bond yields higher. Within commodities, crude oil prices rallied more than 8%, driven by the tighter compliance of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) with pledged production cuts as well as suggestions that those cuts would be extended until the end of 2018. |
| Global equities continued to rally in October 2017, as macroeconomic data remained strong, especially in the developed markets. Japanese equities advanced, as the Japanese yen weakened and the Prime Minister won a super-majority in the country’s elections. U.S. stocks gained, slightly outperforming European stocks. Emerging markets equities delivered positive returns and outpaced global equities broadly. In fixed income, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose on optimism about potential U.S. tax reform and anticipation about a new Fed chair. Higher yields, along with slightly dovish commentary from the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and Bank of Canada, helped drive appreciation in the U.S. dollar. (Dovish commentary suggests lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) Commodity prices surged, fueled by better global economic growth data and positive investor risk sentiment. |
| In the first half of November 2017, global equities broadly retreated on market expectations for sluggish corporate earnings as well as on soft data emanating from China and uncertainty about the passage of U.S. tax reform. U.S. equities rallied into month-end, as hopes of an earlier than consensus expected tax bill were renewed, while European equities lagged in the face of a stronger euro. The U.S. President |

| nominated Jerome Powell to be the new Fed chair when Janet Yellen’s term expired in February 2018. Investors generally expected Powell to continue the gradual normalization of Fed monetary policy. Emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets for the first three weeks of November before selling off amid weakness in technology stocks. The U.S. Treasury yield curve (or spectrum of maturities) reached its flattest in a decade, as the U.S. Department of the Treasury boosted supply of short-maturity paper and the market anticipated a Fed interest rate hike in December 2017. (In a flattening yield curve, the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows.) Crude oil prices rose during November, as OPEC announced an extension of its production cuts into the end of 2018. |
| Global equities rallied in December 2017 amid continued strength in global economic data and the much-anticipated U.S. tax reform bill being signed by the President. European equities retreated, as separatists won a majority in regional elections in Catalonia, Spain and the upcoming Italian election weighed on investor sentiment. China’s economic growth remained stable, helping emerging markets equities move higher. At their December policy meeting, Fed officials raised short-term interest rates and upgraded their economic growth forecasts for 2018 through 2020, after accounting for the potential impact of a U.S. corporate tax cut. Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields dropped slightly, as the corporate tax cut offset lackluster U.S. inflation. Commodities experienced a broad-based rally, with oil, copper and gold all ending the month in positive territory. |
| In January 2018, global equities were supported by improving macroeconomic data along with positive corporate earnings reports. Within developed markets, U.S. equities advanced, while Japanese and U.K. equities sold off as the strength of the Japanese yen and British pound weighed on their exporting companies. Emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets equities, bolstered by global economic growth, what many considered to be attractive valuations and higher commodity prices. Within fixed income, 10-year U.S. Treasury and German government bond yields rose on positive economic data, stabilization in U.S. inflation and the hawkish tone of minutes from the ECB’s December 2017 policy meeting. The U.S. dollar, which had depreciated during 2017 as a whole, continued to weaken versus other major currencies in January 2018 amid contained geopolitical concerns and trade conflicts, improved global economic growth and expectations for tighter monetary policy by the central banks of major developed markets. |
| During February 2018, U.S. equities declined as volatility surged. The CBOE Volatility Index® (“VIX®”), a measure of volatility in the U.S. equity market, rose to touch 50 points intra-day on February 6, 2018. Volatility subsequently subsided, and the VIX® ended the month just below 20. Still, U.S. stocks were pressured by strong wage growth data, which led to a shift in market expectations for Fed interest rate hikes. Global economic growth remained healthy, according to manufacturing data, though some moderation was seen in Europe and China. Global equities broadly retreated, with emerging markets equities underperforming developed markets equities. Rising U.S. Treasury yields and falling commodity prices dampened the performance of emerging markets stocks. The increase in U.S. Treasury yields was the result of better than consensus expected inflation and wage growth data. Also in February, the U.S. dollar gained against most major currencies except the Japanese yen. Commodities, including crude oil, experienced a broad-based selloff, pressured by U.S. dollar strength and the decline of the U.S. equity market. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective 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. |
| Within equities, the Portfolio benefited from its systematic downside mitigation tactical tilt during the last two months of the Reporting Period. The systematic downside mitigation tactical tilt was designed to limit the Portfolio’s exposure to potential market declines through the shorting of U.S. large-cap stocks that we believed might underperform the broader U.S. stock market, while at the same time taking a long position in the broader U.S. stock market. Conversely, the Portfolio was hurt by its long position in Spanish equities, which retreated near the end of 2017 after separatists won a majority in Catalonian regional elections. Spanish stocks were also pushed down by prolonged uncertainty surrounding Catalonia, leading to lower economic growth forecasts for Spain as a whole. |
| In addition, the Portfolio’s long positions in the Alerian MLP Index detracted at the beginning of the Reporting Period because of earlier distribution cuts by energy master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and because natural gas prices did not rally as crude oil prices did. Energy MLPs transport both crude oil and natural gas. In February 2018, these long |

| positions had a significantly negative impact on the Portfolio’s performance in line with the broader downturn in commodities markets during the month. |
| Within fixed income, the Portfolio’s position in energy-related high yield corporate bonds added to returns. These holdings benefited from the rally in crude oil prices in September 2017 that was driven by OPEC’s tighter compliance with its production cuts and market expectations that those cuts would be extended until the end of 2018. |
| Regarding its currency exposures, the Portfolio was helped by a long position in the British pound versus a short position in the U.S. dollar. Early in the Reporting Period, the British pound appreciated strongly, as the Bank of England (“BoE”) signaled a potential interest rate increase. Later in the Reporting Period, the British pound gained against the U.S. dollar, benefiting from perceived hawkish comments by a BoE policymaker. The U.S. dollar remained sensitive to downside event risks and the threat of a U.S. government shutdown in January 2018. |
| Conversely, the Portfolio was hampered by a long position in the U.S. dollar versus a short position in the Japanese yen. The U.S. dollar hit a two-month low against the Japanese yen during November 2017, as minutes from the Fed’s October policy meeting highlighted policymakers’ concerns about the U.S. inflation outlook. The U.S. dollar continued to depreciate in early 2018, with the U.S. Dollar Index finishing January down more than 3%. |
Q | | How was the Portfolio positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio had approximately 13.11% of its total net assets invested in long equity-related investments; approximately 22.90% of its total net assets invested in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 25.48% of its total net assets invested in long currency-related investments; and approximately 3.42% of its total net assets invested in long commodity-related investments. It had short positions of approximately -0.13% of its total net assets in equity-related investments and approximately -6.45% of its total net assets in fixed income-related investments. |
| The above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes, but it does not necessarily include the cash held to support those positions. Derivatives positions are mostly supported by cash held in the Portfolio specifically to cover its exposure and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced. Given the line-up of positions held, most of them were derivatives-based, so the Portfolio’s cash allocation at the beginning of the Reporting Period was high. |
Q | | How did you tactically manage the Portfolio’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, in response to shifting macroeconomic and market dynamics, we made a number of changes to the Portfolio’s exposures. |
| In terms of equity-related exposures, we increased the Portfolio’s long position in Spanish equities (implemented through IBEX 35 Index futures) over the course of the Reporting Period. Despite market concerns, economic growth remained healthy in Spain and in the Eurozone, where leading indicators suggested growth momentum would continue for the foreseeable future, in our view. During October 2017, the IBEX 35 Index was trading more than 6% below its 2017 year-to-date peak price level and valuations were below their historical median level, despite what we considered the country’s supportive economic and monetary policy backdrop. In November 2017, we added a long position in Japanese equities, implemented through Japanese equity call options. (A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date.) Japanese equity prices had not risen in line with profit margins and corporate earnings, which had reached multi-decade highs. |
| In addition, we implemented a systematic downside mitigation tactical tilt, which we increased during the Reporting Period because of what we viewed as elevated equity valuations and low volatility. During the first few months of the Reporting Period, we allowed the Portfolio’s hedging positions on U.S. equities, which had been implemented using put options on the S&P 500® Index, to mature. (A put option is an option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price within a specified time.) Although the position expired “out of the money,” it served its intended purpose, which was to allow the Portfolio to remain invested in tactical tilts we found attractive, while also acknowledging several sources of potential downside event risk. (“Out of the money” is a term used to describe a call option with a strike price that is higher than the market price of the underlying asset, or a put option with a strike price that is lower than the market price of the underlying asset.) |
| Also, during the Reporting Period, we decreased the Portfolio’s short position in S&P 500® Energy Index put options, which had been implemented to provide the Portfolio with premium income and/or to allow it to gain |

| exposure to the U.S. energy sector at what we considered attractive valuations. We eliminated the position after the energy sector rallied, as we believed there was limited remaining upside potential. Near the end of the Reporting Period, we added a long position in South African equities through FTSE/JSE Top 40 Index futures versus a short position in emerging markets equities through MSCI Emerging Markets Index futures. Retail sales and loan growth have been stronger in South Africa than in a number of other emerging countries, and we thought the long rally in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index increased the odds of an eventual decline. Additionally, we replaced the Portfolio’s long position in EURO STOXX 50® 2018 dividend futures with long positions in select country-specific equity index futures within the EAFE (Europe, Asia, Far East) region during the Reporting Period. We believed that transitioning the Portfolio’s exposure offered an attractive risk-reward tradeoff, as the Portfolio had already realized most of the gains we expected from the long position in EURO STOXX 50® 2018 dividend futures and the MSCI EAFE Index had recently experienced a selloff. |
| In fixed income, near the beginning of the Reporting Period, we established a position that was short the three-year U.S. swap rate one-year forward. We believed the interest rate on a three-year U.S. interest rate swap would be higher in one year than the market was anticipating. We removed this position toward the end of the Reporting Period, as we believed the market had limited ability to price in additional Fed interest rate hikes. Also during the Reporting Period, we reduced the Portfolio’s allocation to U.S. high yield loans and added a duration-neutral high yield corporate bond tactical tilt. This positioning sought to benefit from the spread (i.e., the difference in yields between securities of comparable maturity) offered as compensation for the risk of potential default, which we thought was more attractive for high yield corporate bonds than for high yield loans. In addition, we closed the Portfolio’s short position in five-year German government bonds, as we believed German government bond spreads no longer offered an attractive risk/reward opportunity due to market expectations about the ECB’s monetary policy stance. Furthermore, we reduced the Portfolio’s long position in energy-related high yield corporate bonds, as we believed valuations offered an attractive exit point and crude oil prices were at the high end of our forecast. Additionally, we established a position that was short the three-year British pound swap rate one-year forward. In our view, there was scope for U.K. interest rates to catch up to global interest rates, as evidenced by an increase in two-year U.S. Treasury yields during the Reporting Period. |
| Regarding currency-related exposures, we added a short position in the euro versus a long position in the Swedish krona and increased it during the Reporting Period. In our view, Sweden’s economic recovery was more advanced than that of the Eurozone overall. We also considered the Swedish krona undervalued versus the euro. For similar reasons, we established a short position in the U.S. dollar versus the Swedish krona. In addition, during September 2017 and again in January 2018, we decreased the Portfolio’s long position in the British pound versus its short position in the U.S. dollar as existing market levels provided an attractive point at which to reduce the position. Between the time we had initiated the position in January 2017 and January 2018, the British pound had appreciated approximately 13% against the U.S. dollar. Finally, toward the end of the Reporting Period, we reduced the Portfolio’s long position in the U.S. dollar versus its short position in the Japanese yen. Between January 1, 2018 and the end of the Reporting Period, the U.S. dollar depreciated almost 6% versus the Japanese yen, which we believed raised the risk that the Japanese yen would bounce back in the near future. Longer term, however, we expected the Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) to maintain an accommodative monetary policy, while we anticipated higher interest rates in the U.S. Given these competing short-term and long-term views, we decided to reduce the position. |
| Separately, we increased the Portfolio’s allocation to energy MLPs during the Reporting Period. In our opinion, their valuations were attractive due to earlier underperformance by the Alerian MLP Index. Also, we considered the distribution yields of energy MLPs more attractive than the yields offered by other types of securities. Additionally, in September 2017, we eliminated the Portfolio’s position in natural gas futures, as we believed the risk-reward opportunity diminished. Mild weather had been an impediment to natural gas prices moving higher, and we exited the position at a loss. |
Q | | How did the Portfolio use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolio used derivatives and similar instruments as part of its investment strategy to express views implemented in the Portfolio. Positions were supported predominantly by cash held in the Portfolio specifically to cover its exposure to derivative instruments and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio employed equity, bond and commodity futures, equity and interest rate swaps, currency forwards and options to express active investment views with greater versatility across regional equity markets, |

| global market sectors, commodities markets and currency markets. The Portfolio’s use of equity futures, especially those used to gain exposure to select European equity markets, such as Spain, had a negative impact on performance. Bond futures, which the Portfolio employed for its short position in five-year German government bonds, and for a long position in investment grade fixed income, detracted from returns. Commodities futures, employed to express our views on natural gas prices, had a slightly negative impact on results. The Portfolio employed an equity swap on a custom basket of stocks to implement short positions in U.S. large-cap stocks within the systematic downside mitigation tactical tilt, which contributed positively to performance. The Portfolio’s use of interest rate swaps to express our views on the U.S. dollar and on U.K. interest rates had a positive impact on returns. The use of currency forwards to implement a long position in the British pound versus a short position in the U.S. dollar added to performance, while the use of currency forwards to implement a long position in the U.S. dollar versus a short position in the Japanese yen detracted from results. To afford greater risk management precision, options on equity indices were also employed to tactically adjust the amount of equity risk and downside risk in the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s use of equity options, led by put options on the S&P 500® Energy Index, added to performance. |
Q | | How was the Portfolio positioned at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio had approximately 27.64% of its total net assets invested in long equity-related investments; approximately 32.73% of its total net assets invested in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 18.81% of its total net assets invested in long currency-related investments; and 0% of its total net assets invested in long commodity-related investments. It had short positions of approximately 11.04% of its total net assets in equity-related investments and no short positions in fixed income-related investments at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| The above sector breakout is inclusive of derivative exposure across all asset classes, but it does not necessarily include the cash held to support those positions. Derivatives positions are mostly supported by cash held in the Portfolio specifically to cover its exposure and any potential margin calls or future losses experienced. Given the line-up of positions held, most of them were derivatives-based, so the cash allocation at the end of the Reporting Period was high. |
Q | | What is the Portfolio’s tactical asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected global economic activity to accelerate in 2018, with modestly higher growth rates in the U.S., Eurozone and many emerging markets but with slightly slower growth rates in the U.K., Japan and China. In the U.S., tax legislation signed into law during December 2017 seemed likely to modestly boost 2018 economic growth, in our view. In Europe, we believe Germany’s fourth budget surplus in as many years is a potential source of fiscal stimulus and higher economic growth. |
| As for central bank monetary policy, we expect it to remain relatively accommodative in the U.S., given the steady pace at which the Fed has been raising short-term interest rates from their still low levels compared with long-term historical measures. We think the ECB may allow quantitative easing to end later in 2018, and we believe the BoJ is likely to stay on hold. In our opinion, favorable monetary and fiscal policies and the absence of fiscal imbalances substantially reduce the probability of recession in key developed and emerging markets countries in the near term. |
| Despite this positive backdrop, we see no shortage of global risks, including rising political polarization in the U.S., growing populism globally, heightening geopolitical tensions, spreading terrorism and increasing cyberattacks. China remains a big source of uncertainty in the long term because of its growing debt burden, but capital controls, a stronger government role in the economy and faster global economic growth have lowered near-term risks, we believe. We also believe there is the potential of a notable deterioration in the U.S.-China relationship under the current U.S. Administration, driven by changing trade and foreign policy. The collective impact of these various risks is not large enough to undermine our core view that the U.S. is experiencing a longer than normal economic recovery and that this recovery is more likely than not to continue through 2018. |
| Looking ahead, we think the global environment is supportive of positive equity market returns, which we expect to exceed those of cash and bonds. Thus, we plan to focus the Portfolio on opportunities in equities, including tactical tilts to certain U.S. equity sectors as well as to European and Japanese stocks. We also favor U.S. high yield corporate bonds. In addition, we continue to hold positions related to individual currency views. Overall, we have modest return expectations for the rest of 2018. |

Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2018 (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 Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund (the “Portfolio”) is a diversified fund and currently offers two classes of shares — Institutional and Class R6 Shares. Class R6 Shares commenced operations on December 29, 2017. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“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. Basis of Consolidation for Goldman Sachs Tactical Tilt Overlay Fund — The Cayman Commodity – TTIF, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on July 31, 2014 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Portfolio. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Portfolio to enable the Portfolio to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Portfolio is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of July 31, 2014, and it is intended that the Portfolio will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of February 28, 2018, the Portfolio’s net assets were $4,796,257,208, of which, $356,141,403, or 7.4%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets.
B. Investment Valuation — The Portfolio’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
C. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Portfolio may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. The Portfolio 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.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income. For treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost.
D. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of the Portfolio are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Portfolio are charged to the Portfolio, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the Portfolio

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 Transfer Agency fees.
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.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code. Therefore, the Portfolio is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Portfolio in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
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 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement 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 | | |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Portfolio’s policy is to use the market approach. 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the 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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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.
Private Investments — Private investments may include, but are not limited to, investments in private equity or debt instruments. The investment manager estimates the fair value of private investments based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in underlying investments or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in equity or debt capital markets, and changes in current and projected financial ratios or cash flows.
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 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.
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The 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 exchange 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Portfolio and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
iii. Options — When the Portfolio writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by 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.
iv. Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which the Portfolio and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between the Portfolio and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”) (“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty or clearinghouse prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, the Portfolio is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a

triparty account on behalf of the counterparty), which can be adjusted by any mark-to-market gains or losses pursuant to bilateral or centrally cleared arrangements. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin.
An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in interest rates on a specified notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
A credit default swap is an agreement that involves one party (the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. The Portfolio’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If the Portfolio buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, the Portfolio, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted reference obligation in a physically settled trade. The Portfolio may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade.
As a seller of protection, the Portfolio generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Portfolio sells protection through a credit default swap, the Portfolio could suffer a loss because the value of the referenced obligation and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, the Portfolio, as a seller of credit protection, may be required to take possession of the defaulted reference obligation and pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap in a physically settled trade. The Portfolio may also pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted security or obligation. In addition, the Portfolio is entitled to a return of any assets, which have been pledged as collateral to the counterparty upon settlement.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where the Portfolio bought credit protection.
A total return swap is an agreement that gives the Portfolio the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, the Portfolio may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.
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 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.

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
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 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 Consolidated 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.
The following table sets forth the Portfolio’s net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of February 28, 2018:

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, 2018, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Contractual Management Rate | | | | |
First $2 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Over $8 billion | | | Effective Management Fee Rate | | | Effective Net Management Fee Rate*^(a) | |
| 0.75% | | | | 0.68% | | | | 0.64% | | | | 0.62% | | | | 0.70% | | | | 0.65% | |
* | | GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Portfolio in an amount equal to any management fees it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests through at least December 29, 2018. 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. |
(a) | | Reflects combined management fees paid to GSAM under the Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreement as defined below after waivers. |
The Portfolio invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”) and the Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund, which are affiliated Underlying Funds. 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 Funds in which the Portfolio invests, except those management fees it earns from the Portfolio’s investment of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund. For the six months ended February 28, 2018, GSAM waived $1,761,037 of the Portfolio’s management fee.
GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiary pursuant to a Subsidiary Management Agreement (the “Subsidiary Agreement”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary’s management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of the Portfolio’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement. For the six months ended February 28, 2018, GSAM waived $740,078 of the Portfolio’s management fee. This waiver represents an inter-fund transaction and, accordingly, has been eliminated in consolidation.
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 of 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 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, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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 limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Portfolio is 0.164%. The Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least February 28, 2018, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement 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” limitation described above.

D. Line of Credit Facility — As of February 28, 2018, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Portfolio did not have any borrowings under the facility.
E. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended February 28, 2018 , Goldman Sachs earned $87,193, in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Portfolio.
The Portfolio 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, 2018, the purchases at cost with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 for the Portfolio were $3,850,000

The Portfolio may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. In accordance with the Portfolio’s securities lending procedures, the Portfolio receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Portfolio may experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Portfolio 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 Consolidated Statement 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 Portfolio invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Government Money Market Fund, an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs 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 a management fee of up to 0.16% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management fee upto 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio by paying the Portfolio an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Portfolio’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Portfolio’s overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of February 28, 2018, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Both the Portfolio and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Portfolio’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Portfolio’s for the six months ended February 28, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The following table provides information about the Portfolio’s investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended February 28, 2018.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Beginning Value as of August 31, 2017 | | Purchases at Cost | | Proceeds from Sales | | | Ending Value as of February 28, 2018 | |

As of the Portfolio’s most recent fiscal year end, August 31, 2017, the Portfolio’s capital loss carryforwards were as follows:
| | | | |
Capital loss carryforwards: | | | | |
Perpetual Short-term | | $ | (195,779,673 | ) |
Perpetual Long-term | | | (60,213,884 | ) |
Total capital loss carryforwards | | $ | (255,993,557 | ) |
As of February 28, 2018, the Portfolio’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 4,639,442,532 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 94,076,092 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (27,438,824 | ) |
Net unrealized security gain | | $ | 66,637,268 | |
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, net mark to market gains/(losses) on foreign currency contracts, differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, underlying fund investments and consent fees.
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.
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 being hedged, if any.
Foreign and Emerging 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, (including repatriation restrictions), 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. To the extent that the Portfolio also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Geographic Risk — If the Portfolio focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a 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; or natural 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.
Investments in the Underlying Funds — The investments of the Portfolio are concentrated in the Underlying Funds, and the Portfolio’s investment performance is directly related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds it holds. The Portfolio is subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. The Portfolio that has a relative concentration of its portfolio in a single Underlying Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting that Underlying Fund, and may be more susceptible to losses because of these developments.
Large Shareholder 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 the 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 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. 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

|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the 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.
Sector Risk — To the extent the Portfolio focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Portfolio may be subjected, 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.
Tax Risk — The Portfolio will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary and/or commodity index-linked structured notes, as applicable. Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued private letter rulings (“PLRs”) in which the IRS specifically concluded that income and gains from investments in commodity index-linked structured notes or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments are “qualifying income” for purposes of compliance with Subchapter M of the Code. The Portfolio has not received a PLR, and is not able to rely on PLRs issued to other taxpayers. Additionally, the IRS has suspended the granting of such PLRs, pending review of its position on this matter. The IRS also recently issued proposed regulations that, if finalized, would generally treat the Portfolio’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income only if there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of a subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion. The proposed regulations, if adopted, would apply to taxable years beginning on or after 90 days after the regulations are published as final.
The IRS also recently issued a revenue procedure, which states that the IRS will not in the future issue PLRs that would require a determination of whether an asset (such as a commodity index-linked note) is a “security” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Portfolio has obtained an opinion of counsel that the Portfolio’s income from such investments should constitute “qualifying income.” However, no assurances can be provided that the IRS would not be able to successfully assert that the Portfolio’s income from such investments was not “qualifying income,” in which case the Portfolio would fail to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code if over 10% of its gross income were derived from these investments. If the Portfolio failed to qualify as a RIC, it would be subject to federal and state income tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. This would significantly adversely affect the returns to, and could cause substantial losses for, Portfolio’s shareholders.
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 Consolidated 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 — Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Institutional and Class R6 Shares of the Portfolio, you incur 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 Institutional and Class R6 Shares of 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 May 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018, which represents a period of 181 and 58 days in a 365 day year for Institutional and Class R6 Shares.
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

| + | | 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, 2018. 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 0.69% for Institutional Shares and 0.73% for Class R6 Shares. | |
