GOLDMAN SACHS ABSOLUTE RETURN MULTI-ASSET FUND
What Differentiates Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund’s Investment Process?
The Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to deliver consistent returns in all market environments through broad diversification and dynamic management. The Fund aims to provide exposure beyond traditional asset classes, with less dependence on the direction of stock and bond markets, and thoughtfully combines the investment capabilities across Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM).
∎ | | By investing across asset classes using less-traditional strategies and techniques, we aim to incorporate distinct sources of return into the portfolio that are different from traditional core equities and bond returns |
∎ | | We use a proprietary, factor-based risk-budgeting framework that seeks to balance risk across unique return drivers and active strategies |
∎ | | The Fund seeks to capitalize on the changing economic cycle and tactically adjusts for dislocations in the current environment, with the aim of enhancing returns and mitigating portfolio losses |
∎ | | We seek to profit from opportunities across medium- to shorter-term time horizons and multiple geographies |
∎ | | For over two decades, we have managed multi-asset class solutions for clients including sovereign wealth funds, pension plans, endowments, and foundations |
∎ | | We leverage the insights and alpha generation of GSAM’s 700+ investment professionals in 30 offices around the globe (as of September 30, 2017) |
∎ | | We monitor portfolio risk daily and have a robust risk management framework with multiple layers of oversight at the strategic allocation, security selection and firm levels |
Diversification does not protect an investor from market risk and does not ensure a profit. The portfolio risk management process includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but does not imply low risk.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -0.95%, -1.31%, -0.81%, -0.95%, -1.10% and -0.79%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.69% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 0.20% compared to the 0.09% cumulative total return of the Index. |
| References to the Fund’s benchmark and to other indices mentioned herein 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 overall, investor sentiment was dominated by global economic data, central bank monetary policy, rising commodity prices and political events. |
| In November and December 2017, the first two months of the Reporting Period, a mix of strong global economic growth data, higher commodity prices and the absence of hawkish surprises from major central banks supported a continued rally in global equities. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In the fourth calendar quarter overall, Japanese equities performed best, as the Prime Minister’s big win in Japan’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. equities outpaced global equities, as investors priced in a higher probability of a U.S. corporate tax rate cut. Conversely, European and U.K. equities lagged, as strength in the euro and British pound weighed on their respective equity markets. 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 Federal Reserve (“Fed”) chair. In December, Fed policymakers raised interest rates and upgraded their cumulative growth projections after taking into account the potential impact of a corporate tax cut included in the tax reform legislation passed by the U.S. Congress that same month. During the fourth calendar quarter overall, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose, driven by low inflation and market expectations of tax cuts. In commodities, crude oil prices rallied more than 10% as the market anticipated an extension of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (“OPEC”) production cuts. Metals also rallied, with base metals outperforming precious metals amid continuing strong global economic growth and steady Chinese economic data. Overall, the fourth quarter of 2017 was noteworthy for investors’ broad “risk on” sentiment, or reduced risk aversion, as equities, bond yields and commodity prices all moved higher. The U.S. dollar weakened versus other developed markets currencies during the fourth calendar quarter. |
| After a strong finish to 2017, the first quarter of 2018 saw increased volatility, and global equity markets experienced their first pullback after rallying for eight consecutive |

| calendar quarters. Global equity prices peaked during the last week of January 2018 before retreating on news of stronger than expected U.S. wage growth data in early February. In addition to the wage growth data, which led investors to anticipate a faster pace of Fed interest rate hikes, rising concerns about potential trade protectionism and worsening market sentiment about U.S. information technology stocks weighed on global equity prices. In the second half of March 2018, U.S. information technology stocks sold off due to investor concerns about data privacy. During the first calendar quarter overall, macroeconomic data moderated in the developed markets, particularly in Europe and Japan. Emerging markets equities generally outperformed their developed markets peers because of what many considered to be attractive valuations and because of the comparatively stronger economic data within emerging markets countries as well as higher commodity prices. In the fixed income markets, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose during the first quarter of 2018, driven by the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates at its March policy meeting as well as by a modest pickup in inflation and a higher than expected U.S. fiscal deficit. The outcome of the Fed’s policy meeting was generally considered dovish by investors but was also in line with market expectations. The U.S. dollar continued to weaken relative to other major developed markets currencies during the first calendar quarter. |
| In April 2018, global equities overall recorded gains, recovering some of the losses they had sustained in February and March. The advance was supported by the absence of a trade war escalation, receding concerns about the potential regulation of U.S. information technology companies and better than consensus expected corporate earnings. Meanwhile, economic growth around the world, especially in Europe and Japan, continued to moderate from the strong pace seen during the 2017 calendar year. Overall, however, global economic growth remained healthy, driven primarily by the U.S. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose in April 2018 as U.S. inflationary pressures increased and investors anticipated a faster pace of Fed interest rate hikes. Emerging markets stocks underperformed developed markets stocks amid softer macroeconomic data in the emerging markets, higher U.S. Treasury yields and strength in the U.S. dollar. Within developed markets equities, the U.K. and Europe outperformed despite somewhat weaker economic growth, benefiting from depreciation in the British pound and euro versus the U.S. dollar. In commodities, crude oil prices rallied as supply/demand conditions remained fairly constrained due to OPEC production cuts and supply disruptions in Venezuela. |
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 investments in different asset classes, geographic regions and security selection strategies in a portfolio primarily of equity, fixed income, real assets and currency asset classes. Real assets are physical assets that derive their value from their own intrinsic qualities (e.g., precious metals, commodities and real estate). The Fund’s performance is driven by four sources of return: long-term strategic asset allocation to market exposures, medium-term cycle-aware allocation, short-term tactical allocation and excess returns from investments in underlying funds through which the Fund gains exposure to underlying asset classes. Strategic asset allocation is the process by which the Fund’s assets are allocated across underlying asset classes and strategies in a way that considers the risks of each underlying asset class and strategy. Medium-term cycle-aware allocation is the process by which we adjust the portfolio for changes in the business or economic cycle. Short-term tactical allocation is the implementation of tactical market views with the goal of improving the Fund’s risk-adjusted return. The risk-adjusted return on an investment takes into account the risk associated with that investment relative to other potential investments. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund posted negative returns due to its strategic asset allocation, short-term tactical asset allocation and security selection within the underlying funds, all of which detracted from its performance. The Fund’s medium-term cycle-aware allocation added to its performance. |
| Strategic asset allocation overall hurt the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. At the asset class level, allocations to fixed income and currencies detracted from returns, while allocations to real assets contributed positively. Allocations to equities had a rather neutral impact on the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Within its strategic fixed income allocation, the Fund was hurt by our long U.S. interest rate options strategy, through which we seek to profit if interest rates fall, remain constant or rise less than anticipated. This strategy detracted from performance as U.S. Treasury yields rose over the course of the Reporting Period. (Our long U.S. interest rate options strategy is a macroeconomic hedge that buys put options on short-term interest rates. 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.) Our active macro fixed income strategy further detracted from the Fund’s performance. In addition, |

FUND RESULTS
| the Fund’s strategic allocation to high yield corporate bonds was a drag on results, mainly because of its sensitivity to the increase in yields during the Reporting Period. On the positive side, the Fund was helped by its strategic allocations to local emerging markets debt, which benefited from continued strength in emerging markets macroeconomic data. Within its strategic allocations to currencies, the Fund was hampered by our decision to hedge foreign currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar (accomplished through foreign exchange currency forward contracts), as the U.S. dollar broadly weakened and other developed markets currencies strengthened during the Reporting Period overall. A strategic allocation to a systematic currency carry strategy detracted from returns, while a strategic allocation to a systematic currency value strategy contributed positively. (The systematic currency carry strategy seeks to go long higher yielding currencies and short lower yielding currencies, with returns driven by short-term interest rate differentials. The systematic currency value strategy seeks to capture differences between a currency spot price and its estimated fair value relative to other currencies.) Within its strategic allocations to real assets, the Fund was aided by its exposure to international real estate securities and global infrastructure securities. A strategic allocation to a systematic commodity carry strategy also added to performance. On the other hand, a strategic allocation to a systematic momentum strategy detracted from returns. (The systematic commodity carry strategy seeks to construct a long/short commodity strategy that uses the shape of the commodity curve as a trading signal to benefit from information on supply and demand mismatches. The systematic commodity momentum strategy seeks to capture the momentum risk premium in commodities and is implemented by going long historically well performing commodities and going short the underperforming ones.) Within its strategic allocations to equities, the Fund’s performance was driven primarily by its exposure to emerging markets stocks, which outperformed amid U.S. dollar depreciation and strong emerging markets macroeconomic data. In addition, a strategic allocation to U.S. small-cap stocks bolstered returns. Offsetting these positive results was the Fund’s strategic allocation to a U.S. equity volatility strategy, which seeks to benefit from the difference between implied volatility (i.e., expectations of future volatility) and realized volatility (i.e., historical volatility) in equity markets, as market volatility spiked toward the end of the Reporting Period. In addition, the Fund was hurt by an equity hedge (implemented through short positions in futures on the S&P 500® Index and the MSCI EAFE Index), used to moderate exposure to equity beta, which detracted from performance as global equity markets recorded positive returns during the Reporting Period overall. (Beta refers to the component of returns that is attributable to market risk exposure, rather than manager skill.) |
| Our tactical asset allocation decisions hurt the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The primary detractor was a tactical position in a long-short emerging markets currencies basket. In addition, tactical positioning in real assets, specifically a short position in gold, hampered returns. The Fund’s tactical long position in U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt also detracted amid broad weakness in emerging markets currencies. However, the Fund benefited from a 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, which added to returns as inflation increased during the Reporting Period overall. (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.) |
| Security selection overall detracted from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. The Fund was hurt most by security selection within our active macro fixed income strategy (implemented primarily through the Goldman Sachs Strategic Macro Fund) and our emerging markets equity strategy (implemented primarily through the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund). (The Goldman Sachs Strategic Macro Fund was liquidated on March 26, 2018.) |
| The Fund’s medium-term cycle-aware allocation bolstered the Fund’s performance. We held two medium-term cycle-aware views during the Reporting Period. The first was to have a short duration position, which we expressed through a short position in long-maturity German government bonds and a tactical steepening position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. (Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. A steepening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities widens. Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities.) Collectively, these positions added to the Fund’s performance. Our second medium-term cycle-aware view was to hold a long position in emerging markets equities |

FUND RESULTS
| versus developed markets equities. This positioning also contributed positively to the Fund’s returns, as emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets equities during the Reporting Period. |
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 48% of its total net assets in long equity-related investments; approximately 63% of its total net assets in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 9% of its total net assets in long real assets investments; and approximately 25% of its total net assets in long currency-related investments. It had short positions of approximately -25% of its total net assets in equity-related investments; approximately -39% of its total net assets in fixed income-related assets; approximately -5% of its total net assets in real asset investments; and approximately -25% of its total net assets in currency-related investments. These positions were accomplished through the use of equity index futures, equity options, interest rate futures, commodity futures and currency forwards. |
Q | | How did you manage the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | When the Reporting Period started, we maintained the Fund’s overall exposure to risk assets, focusing primarily on equities. Within equities, we favored emerging markets stocks, as we believed they remained undervalued and thought they would continue to outperform due to the relatively stronger economic growth in emerging markets countries. We maintained the Fund’s tactical long positions in the stocks of select emerging markets countries, such as Brazil, Singapore and China, and we added a tactical long position in South African equities. Within developed markets stocks, we added a tactical long position in Japanese equities because of improved corporate earnings and what we considered to be inexpensive valuations. The Fund held tactical positions in certain market sectors, including long positions in European bank stocks and U.S. health care stocks as well as a short position in consumer stocks broadly. With regard to fixed income, we believed yields were likely to rise, a view we expressed through a tactical steepening position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve and a tactical breakeven inflation position. Within real assets at the beginning of the Reporting Period, we added a tactical short position in copper, as copper prices had rallied significantly, and we thought they were higher than fair value, making them vulnerable to a sell-off, in our view. |
| At the beginning of January 2018, we added a tactical allocation to the Goldman Sachs Hedge Industry VIP ETF, which seeks to track fundamentally driven hedge fund managers’ top conviction long positions. |
| Heading into February 2018, we reduced the Fund’s overall exposure to risk assets. We believed they could experience a short-term pullback, given their especially strong performance during the 2017 calendar year. Indeed, market volatility increased during the second half of the Reporting Period, and risk assets experienced two large sell-offs, one in February 2018 and the other in March. These sell-offs, which we expected to be short-lived, gave us opportunities to increase the Fund’s exposure to equities at what we saw as attractive valuations. After the February sell-off, we added tactical long positions in U.S. and emerging markets stocks. At the same time, we added some downside protection through the purchase of put options on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF. (Downside protection refers to the use of an option or other hedging instrument to limit or reduce losses in the case of decline in the value of an underlying security or asset class.) After the March sell-off, we established and subsequently increased the size of a basket containing relative value positions in U.S. and Japanese short-term interest rates. |
| Within equities during the second half of the Reporting Period, we eliminated the Fund’s tactical long positions in Taiwanese and Singaporean equities. We added tactical long positions in Thai, South Korean and Chinese equities and a tactical short position in Mexican equities. In terms of sector positioning, we exited the Fund’s tactical short position in consumer staples, as this sector had declined significantly along with other defensive sectors. We eliminated the Fund’s tactical long position in the U.S. health care sector and added tactical long positions in the U.S. information technology and banking sectors. Within fixed income, we changed the Fund’s tactical steepening position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve to an outright short duration position at the front, or short-term, end of the curve as we sought to mitigate the Fund’s exposure to market expectations about Fed monetary policy. We increased the Fund’s tactical short duration position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve as U.S. inflationary pressures continued to build. Within real assets, we added a tactical short position in crude oil as we believed West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices had risen higher than supply/demand conditions warranted. We also initiated a tactical long position in U.S. energy master limited partnerships, as these securities had sold off at the beginning of March 2018 in response to a U.S. Tax Court ruling. In addition, we |

FUND RESULTS
| eliminated the Fund’s short position in gold during the second half of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund used exchange-traded index futures contracts to gain short exposure to U.S. large-cap equities (negative impact on performance); short exposure to international developed equities (negative impact); long exposure to U.S. small-cap equities (positive impact); long exposure to broad emerging markets equities (positive impact); long and short exposure to non-U.S. developed markets and emerging markets equities (positive impact); long exposure to Chinese, Singaporean, South Korean and Thai equities (positive impact); long exposure to Taiwanese, Japanese and European stocks (negative impact); short exposure to Australian, Mexican and U.K. equities (negative impact); short exposure to South African equities (positive impact); and long exposure to European bank stocks (positive impact). |
| In addition, the Fund employed listed equity options to gain or reduce exposure to the equity markets of certain developed markets and emerging markets countries. The Fund used listed equity options to modulate the Fund’s participation in Brazilian and U.S. equities (positive impact on performance), European and Japanese equities (negative impact) and South Korean equities (neutral impact). The Fund utilized listed equity options to gain exposure to the U.S. energy sector (positive impact). Also, the Fund used options on fixed income assets to obtain exposure to U.S. high yield corporate bonds (negative impact) and European investment grade government bonds (neutral impact). |
| Interest rate futures were used to manage the Fund’s interest rate exposures and to facilitate the implementation of specific duration and yield curve views (positive impact on performance). The Fund employed U.S. Treasury futures as part of a breakeven inflation position during the Reporting Period (negative impact). In addition, the Fund used German bund futures to express a view on the direction of long-term German interest rates (negative impact). The Fund also utilized options on Eurodollar futures to take tactical positions on the U.S. interest rate yield curve (negative impact). (Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S.) Different positions may be taken within the Fund based on expectations of changes in interest rates and expectations of changes in the yield curve. Changes in the shape of the yield curve will change the relative price of bonds represented by the curve. |
| Options and futures on individual commodities and total return swaps on commodity indices were used to implement directional views or to implement systematic curve and carry strategies (positive impact overall). |
| In addition, the Fund used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take long and short positions in select non-U.S. developed markets and in emerging markets as well as to take advantage of relative-value, momentum-based investment opportunities (negative impact overall). |
| Lastly, the Fund obtained exposure to the underlying asset classes through the use of underlying funds, which may also invest in derivatives to provide exposure to equity, fixed income and commodity asset classes. Derivatives and similar instruments allow us to manage interest rate, credit and currency risks more effectively by allowing us both to apply active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision than we would otherwise be able to implement. |
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 28% of its total net assets in long equity-related investments; approximately 42% of its total net assets in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 11% of its total net assets in long real assets investments; approximately 12% of its total net assets in long currency-related investments; and approximately 35% of its total net assets in long multi-strategy investments. It had short positions of approximately -11% of its total net assets in equity-related investments; approximately -31% of its total net assets in fixed income-related assets; approximately -0.2% of its total net assets in real asset investments; and approximately -12% of its total net assets in currency-related investments. These positions were accomplished through the use of equity index futures, equity options, interest rates futures, commodity futures 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 emphasized three macro themes. First, we expected the global economic expansion to continue in 2018, with growth remaining above trend, although we thought the pace of growth was likely to moderate relative to the momentum seen in the middle of |
6
FUND RESULTS
| 2017. Second, we believed Fed monetary policy tightening would continue to have an impact on interest rates. In 2017, broader market developments offset hawkish monetary policy surprises, and benign inflation led to the easing of U.S. financial conditions. This is likely changing in 2018, in our view, as supply-side constraints increase and financial conditions tighten. (Supply-side constraints mean production is unable to keep pace with rising demand.) Third, we expected the global economic expansion to push global equity prices to new highs, but we thought the markets may experience temporary bouts of volatility. Accordingly, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the environment may favor a dynamic approach to asset allocation. |
| On the asset class level, we expect global equities to generate positive but moderate returns over the medium term. In our opinion, global equity performance may well be supported by ongoing global economic expansion, corporate earnings growth and inexpensive valuations relative to macroeconomic conditions, though valuations are likely to remain high in absolute terms. Regarding fixed income, we think the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was at a reasonable level at the end of the Reporting Period, but we believe it could move higher before the end of 2018. We are monitoring credit spreads (or yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity), which were tight relative to macroeconomic conditions at the end of the Reporting Period, because we believe the corporate bond market may be approaching the point in the economic cycle when credit spreads historically start to widen. Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we favored emerging markets debt over developed markets debt. We held this view because of the strong economic growth backdrop in emerging markets countries as well as investor uncertainty about when global yields might rise, which allowed us to remain confident about a widening gap between the economic growth trajectories of emerging and developed markets. |

| | SECTOR ALLOCATION7 | | | | |
| | As of April 30, 2018 |
| | |
| 7 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from 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. Underlying sector allocations of Exchange Traded Funds held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value. 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. Figures above may not sum to 100% due to rounding and/or exclusion of other assets and liabilities. |

|
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 Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund — Cayman Commodity-ARM, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on May 14, 2015 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund (the “Fund”). On April 16, 2018 the Fund ceased its investment in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary acted as an investment vehicle for the Fund to enable the Fund to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Fund was the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of September 2, 2015. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary conferred 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 April 30, 2018, the Fund’s net assets were $29,697,555, of which, $5, or 0.0%, 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, if any. 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 Underlying Fund invested in REITs.
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 Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
E. 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.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code. Therefore, the Fund 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 Fund 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 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.
F. 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

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 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.
26
GOLDMAN SACHS ABSOLUTE RETURN MULTI-ASSET FUND
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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.
iv. Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund 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.
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 Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund, 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 Fund 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
As a seller of protection, the Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Fund sells protection through a credit default swap, the Fund 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 Fund, 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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund bought credit protection.
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.

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 Consolidated Statement of Operations:

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.

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
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 tables set forth the Fund’s net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of April 30, 2018:

Agreement. For the six months ended April 30, 2018, GSAM waived $9,570 of the Fund’s management fee. This waiver represents an inter-fund transaction and, accordingly, has been eliminated in consolidation.
B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Fund, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of the Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, 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 Shares of the Fund, as set forth below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates | |
| | Class A* | | | Class C | | | Class R* | |
Distribution and/or Service Plan | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.50 | % |
* | | With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution and/or Service Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. For the six months ended April 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained $8 of the front end sales charges and $0 of the CDSC for this Fund.
D. Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of 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 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Fund.
E. 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: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares; and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares.
F. 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 are 0.104%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates 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.

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.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of April 30, 2018, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 27,142,184 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 144,978 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (158,802 | ) |
Net unrealized security gain (loss) | | $ | (13,824 | ) |
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, net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments and swap transactions.
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.
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 (if any) being hedged.
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, it 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.
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.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 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.
Liquidity Risk — The 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 the 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, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the 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.
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. The Fund 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 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.
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments to the 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 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 — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and 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 November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365-day year. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 14 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.
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.

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.

GOLDMAN SACHS INCOME BUILDER FUND
What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’
Income Builder Fund Investment Process?
Income Builder Fund is a broadly diversified portfolio that seeks to provide income and capital appreciation.
The Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund provides exposure to the wealth-building opportunities of stocks and the regular income potential of bonds. The Fund invests in both equity and fixed income securities with a focus on yield enhancing strategies to earn a monthly income stream. The Fund seeks to maintain broad exposure to equities with lower than general equity market volatility.
We believe that similar themes can perform differently across asset classes. The Fund can potentially take advantage of these cross-asset class opportunities as it is a dynamic portfolio that allows the flexibility to allocate across equities and fixed income from a top-down perspective, given our views on macro opportunities and valuations.
In our risk management process, we identify, monitor and measure a fund’s risk profile. We consider the risk relative to the benchmark and the Fund’s investment goal to seek income stability and capital growth.
The Fund’s portfolio comprises the ideas of two experienced Goldman Sachs investment groups:
Global Fundamental Equity Group: A group of investment professionals averaging over 17 years of investment experience and with a strong commitment to fundamental research.
Global Fixed Income Group: Broad, deep capabilities across global fixed income markets, with a total return investment philosophy.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Team, the Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Investment Management Team, and the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Group, collectively the Goldman Sachs Income Builder Team (the “Income Builder Team”), discuss the Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -0.45%, -0.83%, -0.30%, -0.37% and -0.29%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.94% and -0.63% cumulative total returns of the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”) and the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch BB to B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index (the “ICE BofAML Index”), respectively, during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.82% compared to the -1.07% and -0.67% cumulative total returns of the Russell Index and the ICE BofAML Index, respectively. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the equity and fixed income markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | U.S. equities recorded a gain during the Reporting Period overall, with Federal Reserve (“Fed”) monetary policy economic data and political events dominating market sentiment. When the Reporting Period began in November 2017, progress on tax reform and strong economic activity were supportive of U.S. equities. In December, the Fed delivered the third interest rate hike of 2017, as had been widely expected, having done similarly in March and June 2017, and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of December from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. |
| U.S. equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, the $1.5 trillion tax reform law and a favorable corporate earnings season. In February 2018, however, equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of Fed interest rates hikes, which stoked a sharp rise in bond yields and an increase in equity market volatility. Concerns about Fed monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. labor and inflation data. In late February 2018, new Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed meeting, surprised equity markets with its hawkish tilt and sparked a sell-off. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In March 2018, escalating trade tensions and potential tariffs weighed on investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the Fed raised short-term interest rates, much as the market had expected. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, continued to point to a total of three interest rate increases in 2018. However, Fed policymakers acknowledged that the “economic outlook has strengthened in recent months,” revising their growth forecast higher and their employment forecast lower. |
| The U.S. equity market was relatively muted in April 2018, as the U.S. and China continued to generate trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty about sanctions on Russia surfaced. A number of macroeconomic drivers, including U.S. labor market strength, higher inflation and fiscal stimulus, pushed up U.S. Treasury yields, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield breaching 3% toward month end. With more than half of S&P 500® Index companies having reported their first quarter 2018 results, the earnings season began strongly during April 2018. |

FUND RESULTS
| The broad U.S. fixed income market posted negative returns during the Reporting Period overall. Spread, or non-government bond, sectors generally outperformed U.S. Treasury securities, led by high yield corporate bonds. The U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, flattened slightly, as yields on longer-term maturities rose less than yields on shorter- and intermediate-term maturities. (A flattening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows.) |
| During November and December 2017, the performance of spread sectors was largely positive, supported by continued strength in the global macro environment and contained market, macro and political volatility. Passage of U.S. tax reform legislation and solid corporate earnings were particularly supportive of U.S. corporate credit. As mentioned previously, the Fed raised short-term interest rates in December 2017 and, at the same time, maintained its forecast for three rate hikes in 2018. Spread sectors were then challenged during the first quarter of 2018, as volatility surged. Among the catalysts were firmer than consensus expected U.S. wage and price inflation data at the beginning of February 2018, equity market declines in February and March, and rising concerns about trade tensions during March. As mentioned earlier, Fed policymakers raised short-term interest rates again in March 2018. Beyond the U.S., monetary policy action was muted in the developed markets during the first calendar quarter overall, though policymakers in Europe and Japan sounded mildly dovish and those in Norway appeared more hawkish. Economic activity data moderated in emerging markets and developed markets countries but remained in expansionary territory, which was supportive of cyclical asset classes geared toward growth. |
| In April 2018, spread sectors produced mixed results. Global economic activity data continued to moderate, though some indicators appeared to have bottomed. Price pressures varied, with higher inflation in the U.S., diminishing inflation in the U.K. and an unexpected drop in Eurozone inflation. Firmer U.S. inflation data raised market expectations for a faster pace of Fed rate hikes, helping to push the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to 3% for the first time since 2014. Elsewhere, developed markets’ central banks exhibited a dovish tilt, with the Bank of England and Sweden’s Riksbank announcing they would delay anticipated interest rate hikes. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s asset allocation positioning during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As part of its principal investment strategies, the Fund has a baseline allocation of 60% to fixed income securities and 40% to equity securities, though in seeking to meet its investment objective, the Fund has the flexibility to opportunistically tilt the allocation to fixed income and equity securities up to 15% above or below that baseline allocation. The Fund seeks to provide a high and stable income stream plus capital appreciation, with lower volatility than the equity market. The percentage of the portfolio invested in equity and fixed income securities will vary from time to time as the Income Builder Team evaluates such securities’ relative attractiveness based on, among other factors, income opportunities, market valuations, economic growth and inflation prospects. Because of these stated goals of the Fund, the Income Builder Team believes the returns of the Russell Index and the ICE BofAML Index should be considered for reference only. |
| At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund was invested 38.5% in equities and 60.2% in fixed income, with the balance of 1.3% in cash and cash equivalents. During the Reporting Period, we modestly increased the Fund’s overall exposure to equities, particularly U.S. equities. Though U.S. equity valuations were elevated in historical terms, we believed they offered a reasonable risk premium compared to other asset classes. We also thought U.S. tax reform would be a tailwind for corporations, which was not yet being fully reflected in equity valuations, in our view. Regarding fixed income, we modestly reduced the Fund’s overall allocation but maintained our bias toward higher quality credits by tilting the Fund toward investment grade corporate bonds. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was invested 41.6% in equities and 55.5% in fixed income, with the balance of 2.9% in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s 12-month distribution rate and what was its 30-day SEC yield during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Investor and R6 Shares* provided 12-month distribution rates of 3.71%, 3.01%, 4.03%, 3.89% and 4.03%, respectively. On April 30, 2018, the Fund’s 30-day |
| * | | As the Fund’s Class P Shares have an inception date of April 16, 2018 and the Reporting Period ended on April 30, 2018, neither a 12-month distribution rate nor a 30-Day SEC yield is available for this share class. |

FUND RESULTS
| SEC yields (subsidized) for its Class A, C, Institutional, Investor and R6 Shares were 3.45%, 2.91%, 4.06%, 3.92% and 4.06%, respectively. |
Q | | What key factors had the greatest impact on the performance of the Fund’s equity allocation during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Russell Index, stock selection had the greatest impact on the Fund’s equity allocation during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s call writing strategy, which seeks to generate additional cash flow and potentially reduce volatility by sales of call options on the S&P 500® Index or other regional stock market indices (or related ETFs), did not have a material impact on performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by overweight positions relative to the Russell Index in the health care and utilities sectors. An underweight in the consumer staples sector also hampered relative performance. Stock selection in all three sectors further detracted from the Fund’s returns. On the other hand, the Fund benefited from its overweight positions in the information technology and industrials sectors and its neutral position in the materials sectors. Stock selection in all three sectors also added to results. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The largest detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index were Duke Energy, MetLife and British American Tobacco. |
| The Fund’s top detractor was Duke Energy, a regulated utility company and the largest electric power holding company in the U.S. Its shares retreated after the passage of U.S. tax reform and as investors grew concerned about the potential of lower rates for customers, which could lead to weaker cash flows across the utilities sector. In our view, these challenges are transitory, and we continued to have a positive view of Duke Energy at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| MetLife, a provider of insurance and financial services to individual and institutional customers, also dampened relative returns. The company announced it had discovered material weakness in its internal controls related to variable annuities within its Japanese operations. Additionally, its management issued fourth quarter 2017 guidance well below market consensus due to an annuity-related increase in reserves and also said a review was being conducted of international annuity/pension reserves. We viewed all this news negatively, with our greatest concern focused on MetLife’s investigation into its international businesses, which could potentially be an overhang on the company’s share price. We ultimately decided to eliminate the Fund’s position in the stock in favor of higher conviction ideas. |
| Another key detractor during the Reporting Period was British American Tobacco, a multinational cigarette manufacturer. Its stock price declined after the company reported 2017 earnings with lower than consensus expected revenue and organic sales growth. Although the company missed on these metrics, we believe it has a brand portfolio, geographic mix and synergies from the acquisition of Reynolds American that can support significant growth through 2020. Furthermore, in our view, British American Tobacco is a leader in next generation products, such as vaping and “heat not burn” products, which could provide a boost to its earnings in the longer term. |
Q | | Which stocks contributed significantly to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited most compared to the Russell Index from investments in Royal Dutch Shell, Cisco Systems and Microsoft. |
| Shares of Royal Dutch Shell rose amid positive market sentiment about the progress of the British-Dutch oil and gas company’s asset disposal program as well as on solid production results. Its management announced it was comfortable with its ongoing plan to shed assets and said new projects could boost cash flows. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained a positive view of Royal Dutch Shell because of its attractive dividend yield and the potential upside of increased volumes in its integrated gas business. |
| Cisco Systems, a provider of Internet-based networking hardware and communications services, also added to relative returns. Its shares traded higher after the company reported solid quarterly earnings and gave higher guidance on growing revenues in a healthy operating environment. Investors reacted positively as Cisco Systems showed it continues to diversify its revenue streams while improving its older businesses in a manner we believe eases the challenges |
4
FUND RESULTS
| of such diversification. Cisco Systems seems poised for steady revenue growth, in our view, as its enterprise clients continue to focus on reducing operating expenses and increasing agility through network automation, an area well served by Cisco Systems’ campus LAN (local area network) switching product line. Additionally, we believe the company’s shares were trading, at the end of the Reporting Period, at compelling valuations relative to those of large cap technology peers and offered what we consider to be an attractive and sustainable dividend yield. |
| The Fund was also helped by a position in Microsoft, a developer and marketer of software and hardware services. In our view, the company has been executing well as it seeks to become a leader in cloud computing, effectively migrating its customer base and expanding its total available market. A recent reorganization further highlighted Microsoft’s commitment to its cloud business, as its management reallocated resources from Windows initiatives to further drive growth. As a result, we believe the company was well positioned at the end of the Reporting Period to increase revenues going forward. In our opinion, the company’s growth may accelerate over the next several years, which could potentially increase its multiples expansion. Additionally, we believe Microsoft was trading at the end of the Reporting Period at an attractive valuation and was supported by a strong yield. |
Q | | Were any significant purchases or sales made within the equity allocation of the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund initiated a position in Enel, an Italian distributor of gas and electricity across Eastern Europe and Latin America. We have a positive view on the European utilities market and thought Enel was trading at an attractive valuation. |
| Another notable purchase was First Horizon National, a financial holding company that offers checking accounts, savings products, mortgage banking, lending and financing to individuals and businesses. In our view, the stock’s underperformance in early 2018 provided a buying opportunity, as its shares were trading at a discount compared to those of the company’s peers. Looking ahead, we are optimistic that First Horizon National’s balance sheet will remain “asset sensitive,” which should allow the company to perform well in a rising interest rate environment. (Asset sensitivity refers to a balance sheet structure where assets re-price or reset faster than liabilities.) In addition, we think First Horizon stands to benefit from an increase in loan discounts as a result of its merger with Capital Bank Financial in late 2017. |
| Among those sales implemented during the Reporting Period was the Fund’s investment in Exxon Mobil. The stock had been purchased because of our positive views on the oil and gas company’s integrated business model and its management team’s ability to identify accretive acquisitions. During the Reporting Period, we exited the Fund’s position to purchase shares of another oil and gas company that offered what we considered to be more compelling risk-adjusted opportunities over the long term. |
| During the Reporting Period, we eliminated the Fund’s position in FirstEnergy, which is engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in the U.S. Our original thesis was predicated on the view that FirstEnergy traded at an inexpensive valuation and provided a solid dividend yield. We also believed the company could benefit from the divestiture of its power generation business and a conversion to a fully regulated utility. We decided to eliminate the Fund’s position because we believed other utility stocks offered better risk/reward opportunities. |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund’s equity market sector and industry weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we reduced the Fund’s exposures to energy, financials and utilities companies. We increased its exposures to information technology, real estate investment trusts and materials companies. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Russell Index in the energy, health care, industrials, information technology, telecommunication services, utilities and real estate sectors. Within the energy sector, it was overweight energy master limited partnerships/energy infrastructure securities. The Fund was underweight relative to the Russell Index in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and financials sectors. Compared to the Russell Index, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted in the materials sector at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which fixed income market sectors significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In absolute terms, the Fund’s performance was hampered by exposure to high yield corporate bonds within the communications and commercial services/products market segments. However, exposure to investment grade corporate |
5
FUND RESULTS
| bonds within the technology and telecommunications market segments contributed positively during the Reporting Period. |
| Relative to the ICE BofAML Index, the Fund was hurt by its overweight positions in communications-related high yield corporate bonds and tobacco industry investment grade corporate bonds. Conversely, underweight positions in energy-related and industrial manufacturing industry high yield corporate bonds added to relative returns. In addition, the Fund benefited from its underweight position overall in high yield corporate bonds, especially during November 2017 and the first quarter of 2018 when credit spreads (or yield differentials versus duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities) widened. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategies affect performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s duration strategy detracted from its performance. More specifically, the Fund was hurt by its duration positioning during April 2018. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. We do not actively manage the Fund’s yield curve positioning as part of our investment process. |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund’s fixed income weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Over the course of the Reporting Period, we increased the size of the Fund’s underweight position compared to the ICE BofAML Index in retail and apparel as that market segment, in our view, continues to face secular challenges due to pressures from e-commerce. We also increased the Fund’s underweight in energy because we remain cautious about cyclical sectors despite the rise in crude oil prices during the Reporting Period. In addition, we tilted the Fund toward investment grade corporate bonds as a way to maintain its bias toward higher quality credits. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As mentioned previously, the Income Builder Team wrote equity index options on a portion of the Fund’s equity allocation in an effort to generate additional cash flow and potentially reduce volatility. The use of equity index options did not have a material impact on performance during the Reporting Period. In managing the Fund’s fixed income allocation, the Income Builder Team used U.S. Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures to hedge and manage interest rate exposure. (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 also utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge currency exposure. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and U.S. Treasury futures detracted from the performance of the Fund’s fixed income allocation during the Reporting Period. The use of Eurodollar futures had a modestly positive impact on returns. |
Q | | What is the Income Builder Team’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Income Builder Team was cautiously optimistic a favorable macroeconomic backdrop would continue to support U.S. equities. As a result of the tax reform legislation passed in December 2017, we expect investors to benefit from corporate tax savings deployment, including the return of capital through stock buybacks and dividends, increased mergers and acquisitions, and reinvestments. Although we considered equity valuations full at the end of the Reporting Period, we thought U.S. stocks offered a reasonable risk premium over other asset classes. Furthermore, after several years of thematic-driven markets, we are pleased to see increasing performance dispersion among individual stocks. In this environment, we believe an active approach to selecting stocks may continue to be rewarded. Regardless of market direction, however, fundamental, bottom-up stock selection will continue to drive our process, not headlines or investor sentiment. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained high conviction in the companies owned by the equity portion of the Fund, and we believed they have the potential to outperform relative to the broader market regardless of the growth environment. We intend to continue to focus on undervalued companies we believe are in control of their own future, such as innovators with differentiated products, companies with low-cost structures and firms that have been investing in their own businesses and are poised to gain market share. We will maintain our discipline in identifying companies with what we consider to be strong or improving balance sheets, led by quality management teams and trading at discounted valuations, seeking to generate long-term outperformance. |
| Regarding fixed income, the Income Builder Team had a cautiously positive outlook for high yield corporate bonds when the Reporting Period ended. In the near term, we expect solid corporate earnings growth, along with the tailwinds of fiscal stimulus and tax reform, to keep high yield credit spreads anchored close to their levels at the end of the Reporting Period. The key headwind for the asset class, in |
6
FUND RESULTS
| our view, is tight valuations. Going forward, we expect intermittent pull-backs, particularly during times when new issuance is strong. A potential source of increased new issuance is elevated mergers and acquisitions activity. We believe the largest risk to our outlook overall is a rise in interest rate volatility, which could be driven by more aggressive than consensus anticipated Fed monetary policy action, an inflation shock, escalating trade tensions, higher risk premiums due to idiosyncratic events, and/or market disruptions resulting from credit downgrades of investment grade corporate bonds. Persistent equity market volatility, which is historically a headwind for high yield credit spreads, is another possible risk to our outlook. At the end of the Reporting Period, we favored communications industries broadly because of what we consider to be their robust fundamentals and consumers’ non-cyclical demand for data. In addition, we have a positive view of financials companies, as we believe their earnings are likely to benefit from a modest increase in U.S. interest rates. Within technology, we like software companies because of their relative stability and the greater visibility we have into their operations. We intend to maintain the Fund’s underweight in retail and apparel due to the secular challenges we think the industry is facing. In terms of ratings, we continued to favor higher quality credits at the end of the Reporting Period. |

| 4 | | The 12 month distribution rate is calculated by taking the sum of all cash distributions over the past 12 months and dividing by the month end NAV in the last month of the period. Distributions may include interest from fixed income, dividends from equities, short term and long term capital gains, return of capital, and special distributions. Return of capital distribution may include a return of some or all of the money that an investor invested in Fund shares. Distributions from securities such as MLPs passing through the Fund may also be characterized as return of capital. Special distributions may include any off-cycle distributions that occur outside of regular interest or dividend payment dates, such as when a company opts to pay a special dividend. The amounts and sources of distribution are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The Fund reports the character of distributions for federal income tax purposes each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV. Distributions will fluctuate over time and a large proportion of the distribution may occur at the end of the year in the form of capital gains. Distributions and market value movements affect the NAV of the Fund and will also affect this calculation. 12 month distribution rate numbers are based on historical distributions and NAVs and are not predictive of future distributions or yields. 12 month distribution rate is calculated to provide a sense of the total cash flow associated with investment in the Fund, but should not be confused with SEC yield, dividend yield or interest yield. |
| 5 | | The method of calculation of the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the SEC and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the last 30 days of the period by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/ or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical. |

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, Investor, Class P 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 table 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.

FUND’S EQUITY SECTOR ALLOCATIONS VS. BENCHMARK9 |
As of April 30, 2018 | | |
| 9 | | 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 0.0% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2018.

Goldman Sachs Rising Dividend Growth Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and current income.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies (“QIS”) portfolio management team, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Group and the Dividend Assets Capital, LLC (“DAC”) portfolio management team, the Fund’s sub-adviser, discuss the Goldman Sachs Rising Dividend Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor and Class R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.09%, 3.70%, 4.36%, 4.25% and 3.98%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.82% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “S&P 500 Index”), during the same time period. |
| From their inception on February 28, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges of -0.73%. This return compares to the -2.17% cumulative total return of the S&P 500 Index during the same time period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges of -1.24%. This return compares to the -1.08% cumulative total return of the S&P 500 Index during the same time period. |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective at the close of business on March 30, 2018, changes were made to the investment management responsibilities for the Fund. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) now manages the Fund’s dividend-paying investments using a systematic, rules-based approach, while DAC continues to manage the Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). The Fund’s investment objective and benchmark did not change. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the equity markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The factors that most influenced the equity markets as a whole during the Reporting Period can, in general, be broken down into two segments — those from the start of the Reporting Period in November 2017 through the end of January 2018 and those from the beginning of February 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period. |
| Through the latter part of January 2018 was generally a continuation of the relatively low volatility environment experienced by the U.S. equity markets through most of 2017. Indeed, the VIX, a volatility index that serves as a proxy for investor worries or the lack thereof, remained at rather low levels during these months. Further, investors looked with anticipation to the potential impact on bottom lines of the new tax reform legislation passed by Congress in late December 2017 along with the potential for synchronous global economic growth. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) increased interest rates by 25 basis points at its December 2017 meeting, as expected. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The S&P 500 Index, which had been appreciating each month of the Reporting Period to date, reached a fresh high in late January 2018. |
| At the beginning of February 2018, however, inflation fears took center stage, as wage growth came in higher than consensus expectations. Investors began to worry that a combination of higher wage growth and rising raw material costs could erode company margins and, in turn, corporate earnings growth. Further, investors grew concerned that rising inflation could drive the Fed to increase interest rates at a faster clip than previously expected by the consensus. From a geopolitical perspective, trade tensions increased dramatically with the U.S. Administration’s announcement of potential tariffs, which further exacerbated equity market volatility. The S&P 500 Index ended an extended streak of monthly advances, declining in both February and March 2018 before rebounding to eke out a modest gain in April 2018. |
| The U.S. equity markets remained relatively muted in April 2018 amid the U.S. and China generating trade headlines and |

FUND RESULTS
| geopolitical uncertainty stemming from sanctions on Russia surfacing. A number of macro drivers, including labor market strength, inflation normalization and fiscal stimulus, moved U.S. Treasury yields higher. Still, reports of first quarter 2018 corporate earnings were generally strong, with more than half of S&P 500 Index companies having reported results by the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced energy MLPs as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Alerian MLP Index, the leading measure of energy MLPs, returned -0.73% for the Reporting Period. On the one hand, energy MLPs were supported during the Reporting Period by higher crude oil prices, strong domestic shale oil and natural gas production and healthy crude/liquid natural gas/refined exports as well as a generally favorable economic backdrop both domestically and globally. |
| Further, fundamentally, MLPs delivered strong earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and depreciation (“EBITDA”) growth both year over year and sequentially, with strong distribution coverage and reduced financial leverage, as managements throughout the industry focused on business execution and reduced dependence on equity financing. |
| MLP performance during the Reporting Period, however, diverged from improved business fundamentals, offering, in our view, potentially attractive investment opportunities. As of April 30, 2018, MLPs offered 8.12% trailing 12-month distribution yields, which were significantly higher than their own 10-year average and higher than the yields of both the 10-year U.S. Treasury and the S&P 500 Index. MLPs also delivered strong EBITDA growth over the previous year, reduced balance sheet leverage and enhanced distribution coverage during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most share classes of the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index for the Reporting Period as a whole. |
| From November 1, 2017 through March 30, 2018 (“the initial part of the Reporting Period”), the Fund, comprised of both MLP assets and dividend-paying investments, outperformed the S&P 500 Index, driven by strong stock selection that was only partially offset by the detracting effect of sector allocation decisions overall. Also, the Fund averaged a 1.83% allocation to cash during the initial part of the Reporting Period, which detracted modestly from relative results. |
| From March 31, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period on April 30, 2018 (“the latter part of the Reporting Period”), the Fund’s overall benchmark remained the S&P 500 Index. Given that the MLP sleeve of the Fund gives exposure to energy stocks, however, the dividend-paying growers portion of the Fund, under its new investment approach, used the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index as its benchmark. During the latter part of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s dividend-paying investments underperformed the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index. While sector allocation contributed positively, albeit modestly, to relative results, stock selection detracted. |
| For the Reporting Period overall, the Fund’s MLP assets underperformed the Alerian MLP Index, the benchmark used for the MLP portion of the Fund. Such underperformance was driven by less than favorable stock selection. At the end of the Reporting Period, excluding cash, 96.8% of the Fund’s MLP assets were allocated to the oil and gas storage and transportation industry. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the initial part of the Reporting Period? |
A | | As measured by the S&P 500 Index, the sectors that detracted most on a relative basis during the initial part of the Reporting Period were energy, materials and telecommunication services. Both stock selection in and having an overweight to the underperforming energy sector detracted. Most of the Fund’s energy sector exposure was through MLPs, which experienced a negative effect from tax reform as well as from a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission policy change that resulted in low correlation for MLPs to the upturn in the price of oil. Similarly, weak stock selection in and having an overweight in the materials sector, which lagged the S&P 500 Index during the initial part of the Reporting Period, hurt the Fund’s relative results. The Fund had no exposure to telecommunication services, which dampened results, as the sector outperformed the S&P 500 Index during the initial part of the Reporting Period. |
| Only partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors, which contributed positively. Having an underweight allocation to consumer staples, which lagged the S&P 500 Index during the initial part of the Reporting |

FUND RESULTS
| Period, and an overweight allocation to industrials, which outperformed the S&P 500 Index during the initial part of the Reporting Period, also buoyed the Fund’s relative results. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the initial part of the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the S&P 500 Index during the initial part of the Reporting Period were positions in specialty chemicals producer Albemarle, exploration and production company Dominion Energy Midstream Partners, L.P. and refined petroleum products and ammonia storage, transportation and distribution company Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. |
| Shares of Albemarle fell on worries that potential new lithium supply coming online in the years ahead could exceed demand. Shares of Dominion Energy Midstream Partners, L.P. declined significantly on the negative effect on its assets and potential impact on drop-down economics after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) announced it would no longer allow MLPs to use an income tax recovery allowance as part of the cost of service calculation for FERC regulated pipelines. (Drop-down refers to the act of a parent company selling energy MLP-qualified assets to the associated energy MLP.) In addition to general weakness in the MLP space, Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P.’s shares dropped, as its 2018 guidance was viewed as below expectation by many analysts. Additionally, while only marginally affected by the FERC policy change, Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P.’s shares sold off with the rest of the industry. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks during the initial part of the Reporting Period? |
A | | The top contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the initial part of the Reporting Period were athletic apparel, equipment and accessories company Nike, China-based technology company Tencent Holdings and off-price retailer Ross Stores. |
| Strong fundamentals and increased transparency on the drivers of its long-term earnings per share growth outlook drove the stock of Nike higher during the initial part of the Reporting Period. Key long-term earnings per share growth drivers included the shift to direct-to-consumer sales, innovation and supply chain revolution. Shares of Tencent Holdings rose on solid company reports during the initial part of the Reporting Period, which drove positive investor sentiment toward the company and its growth potential. Ross Stores’ strong stock performance was driven by its solid fundamentals. U.S. consumers found value and rewarding shopping experiences in Ross Stores, which drove high traffic. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the latter part of the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index during the latter part of the Reporting Period were overweight positions in out-of-benchmark institutional financial services firm SEI Investments and in semiconductor company Xilinx, which each posted double-digit negative returns. Not having a position in e-commerce giant Amazon.com, which performed well during the latter part of the Reporting Period, also proved to be a significant detractor. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks during the latter part of the Reporting Period? |
A | | As the Fund transitioned on March 31, 2018, the QIS team received in-kind securities from the DAC team, and to avoid short-term capital gains, the QIS team held on to some stocks for a time, including some energy and non-U.S. companies. Given then-current market conditions, the top individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the latter part of the Reporting Period were each an energy-related stock — Occidental Petroleum, Suncor Energy and Canadian Natural Resources. None of these stocks are components of the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index, but each outperformed the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index during the latter part of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which MLPs detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period as a whole? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Alerian MLP Index during the Reporting Period were positions in Dominion Energy Midstream Partners, L.P., discussed earlier; EQT Midstream Partners, L.P., whose shares declined as investors increasingly focused on its complicated structure and on its most recent announcement about streamlining transactions, which fell short of investor expectations; and Tallgrass Energy GP, L.P., (“TEGP”) whose shares fell as investors demanded a simplified structure between TEGP and its limited partnership TEP, as drop-down inventory dried up. TEGP shares recouped some |

| of its loss after announcing it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TEP in a unit for unit transaction. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing MLPs during the Reporting Period overall? |
A | | Relative to the Alerian MLP Index, the MLPs that contributed most to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Enterprise Products Partners, L.P., Viper Energy Partners, L.P. and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. |
| The Fund had an overweight position in Enterprise Products Partners, L.P., as we viewed favorably its leading position in the midstream space and its strong export capability. (The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side, i.e. energy producers, and the demand side, i.e. energy end-users, for any type of energy commodity. Such midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities.) We also liked its proactive approach to slow its distribution growth to partially fund its future growth projects and reduce the need for an equity offering. Viper Energy Partners, L.P. was a new position in the Fund, initiated in early April 2018, as we anticipate higher crude oil prices. Viper Energy Partners, L.P. is a royalty MLP that benefits from growth in production via the royalties earned on acreage it leases to other producers. Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. experienced a rebound during the Reporting Period, as major projects were placed in service and improvement in its distribution coverage supported its distribution growth. We believe Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. had been unreasonably undervalued compared to its peers, and we see strong upside potential for the MLP based on its assets. Each of these three MLPs’ shares delivered a double-digit gain during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The MLP portion of the Fund did not use derivatives during the Reporting Period. The dividend-paying equity investments portion of the Fund used index futures contracts during the latter part of the Reporting Period to equitize its modest cash position. In other words, we bought index futures to avoid cash drag in the portfolio sleeve. (When a part of one’s total balance is not invested in securities but in a cash or cash-equivalent security it has no market exposure and is referred to as cash drag.) The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the latter part of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant equity purchases or sales during the initial part of the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in International Business Machines (“IBM”). We believe IBM will successfully execute on its strategic imperatives initiative, which could lead to growth in excess of low consensus expectations. In our view, the company has an opportunity to build on its leadership position in artificial intelligence via Watson, thus driving growth in its cognitive solutions business segment. Further, we think revenues generated from its strategic imperatives initiative could drive the need for in-house talent at clients for implementation purposes, thus driving growth potential in its global business services segment. Finally, we believe IBM’s technology services & cloud business segment is well positioned to benefit in terms of cloud resources necessary to support the use of Watson along with hybrid cloud at clients. |
| We established a Fund position in medical products developer Medtronic, as we believe the company has strong upside potential. Our investment thesis is based on what we view as its industry-leading product portfolio driving sustainable sales growth, operating margin expansion through synergies and, at the time of purchase, an attractive valuation. |
| Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in business outsourcing solutions provider Automatic Data Processing (“ADP”). Shares of ADP exceeded our price target, and we believed it prudent to reallocate to other opportunities. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in health care services provider Cardinal Health, as we believe the company faces ongoing challenges in its business. Further, guidance reductions have come because its management called out little visibility in earnings per share growth. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant equity purchases or sales during the latter part of the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the latter part of the Reporting Period, we focused on beginning to transition the dividend-paying growers portion of the Fund to its new systematic, rules-based approach. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales of MLPs during the Reporting Period overall? |
A | | In addition to the purchase of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Hess |
16
FUND RESULTS
| Midstream Partners, L.P. (“HESM”). HESM has what we view as strategically located assets, strong sponsorship and visible growth potential, both in earnings and distributions. While sponsored by Hess, HESM’s assets have already been spun off from its parent into a privately-held holding company, thus insulating it from a potential takeover of Hess. This structure, in our option, means most of HESM’s drop-downs are simply a larger percentage of the assets it already has. Additionally, its location in the Bakken shale gives it exposure to a high growth area, and its assets cover both crude oil and natural gas, enabling it to benefit from the production growth of both commodities in North Dakota. |
| Conversely, we sold the Fund’s positions in Genesis Energy, L.P. after its distributions were cut due to a challenging business environment and increasing cost of capital. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. due to ongoing weakness in the MLP space along with enhanced headline risk surrounding the Energy Transfer family, which includes Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. Because Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. owns the general partner and incentive distribution rights for Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., we felt it was less of a risk to sell Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. while continuing to hold Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s equity sector weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the initial part of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to information technology and consumer discretionary increased relative to the S&P 500 Index, and its allocations to the energy and materials sectors decreased relative to the S&P 500 Index. |
| Under the QIS team’s new investment approach, implemented during the latter part of the Reporting Period, the Fund does not take sector bets by design. Therefore, the dividend-paying investments portion of the Fund, using a quantitative process, strove to be similar to the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index in terms of sector allocation. We seek to provide exposure to high quality, dividend-paying growers within each sector. |
Q | | How was the dividend-paying investments portion of the Fund positioned relative to the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | As mentioned earlier, it is not part of the dividend-paying investments portion of the Fund’s approach to take sector bets. That said, at the end of April 2018, the dividend-paying investments portion of the Fund had a slightly overweighted position relative to the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index in health care. On the same date, the Fund had no exposure to telecommunication services and rather neutral positions in all other sectors within the S&P 500 Ex-Energy Index. The Fund also had exposure to the energy sector at the end of the Reporting Period, as the transition to its new investment process was in the early stages. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As described earlier, effective after the close of business on March 30, 2018, the QIS team manages the Fund’s dividend-paying investments, while DAC continued to manage the Fund’s investments in MLPs. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and current income. Within the dividend-paying growers sleeve, we maintained confidence at the end of the Reporting Period in high quality business models that have demonstrated commitment to grow their dividend in a rather stable manner. |
| As for MLPs, we expect their trailing 12-month distribution yield to grow during the coming year as a natural hedge to inflation. We believe, over time, the performance of MLPs will likely catch up with their strong business fundamentals. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to favor high quality MLPs, with top-tier balance sheets and distribution growth, along with competitive costs of capital and strong rates of return on future growth projects. As always, we continue to monitor domestic and global economies, geopolitical factors, interest rates and equity market fundamentals as we actively manage the Fund. |

| 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. Effective February 27, 2012, the Rising Dividend Growth Fund, a series of Dividend Growth Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”), was reorganized into the Fund. As accounting successor to the Predecessor Fund, the Fund has assumed the Predecessor Fund’s historical performance. 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). Prior to February 27, 2012 (the effective date of the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund), the maximum initial sales charge applicable to sales of Class A Shares of the Predecessor Fund was 5.75%, which is not reflected in the average annual total return figures shown. Because Institutional, Investor, Class P, 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 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.

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATION6 |
As of April 30, 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. Short-term investments represent repurchase agreements. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. Figures above may not sum to 100% due to rounding. |

(a) | | Security is currently in default and/or non-income producing. |
| | |
(b) | | Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to legal restrictions on sale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are subsequently registered and the registration statement is effective. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Total market value of restricted securities amounts to $1,924,533, which represents approximately 0.1% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2018. See additional details below: |
| | | | | | | | | | |

| | (Common Stock) | | | | | | | | |
| | |
(c) | | Represents an affiliated issuer/fund. |
(d) | | All or a portion of security is on loan. |
(e) | | Security with “Call” features with resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the final maturity dates. |
(f) | | Variable rate security. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on April 30, 2018 and may not reflect a rate based on the variable spread shown. |
(g) | | Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be deemed liquid by the Investment Adviser and may be resold, normally to qualified institutional buyers in transactions exempt from registration. Total market value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $355,895,721, which represents approximately 18.5% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2018. The liquidity determination is unaudited. |
(h) | | Pay-in-kind securities. |
(i) | | All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open reverse repurchase agreements. As of April 30, 2018, the value of securities pledged amounted to $4,700,000. |
(j) | | Security with “Put” features and resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the puttable dates. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect at April 30, 2018. |
(k) | | Security with a notional or nominal principal amount. The actual effective yield of this security is different than the stated interest rate. |
(l) | | Bank Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the bank loan facility on April 30, 2018. Bank Loans typically have rates of interest which are predetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
(m) | | Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this portfolio security; i.e. Level 3. |
(n) | | All or a portion of security is segregated as collateral for initial margin requirements on futures transactions. |
(o) | | Issued with a zero coupon. Income is recognized through the accretion of discount. |

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 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 |
Income Builder | | A, C, Institutional, Investor, P* and R6 | | Diversified |
Rising Dividend Growth | | A, C, Institutional, Investor, P*, R and R6** | | Diversified |
* | | Commenced operations on April 16, 2018. |
** | | Commenced operations on February 28, 2018. |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust. Dividend Assets Capital, LLC (“DAC” or the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as the sub-adviser to the Rising Dividend Growth Fund.

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, if any. 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. Distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. The Funds record their 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. 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.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Income Builder | | | | Monthly | | Annually |
Rising Dividend Growth | | | | Quarterly | | 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).

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.
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.
i. Bank Loans — Bank loans (“Loans”) are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. Loans are arranged through private negotiations between the borrower and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”). A Fund’s investments in Loans are in the form of either participations in Loans (“Participations”) or assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third parties (“Assignments”). With respect to Participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the Lender selling the Participations and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement with respect to Participations.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Conversely, assignments result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may be permitted to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.
ii. Commercial Paper — Commercial paper normally represents short-term unsecured promissory notes issued in bearer form by banks or bank holding companies, corporations, finance companies and other issuers. Commercial paper consists of direct U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of domestic or foreign issuers. Asset-backed commercial paper is issued by a special purpose entity that is organized to issue the commercial paper and to purchase trade receivables or other financial assets.
iii. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real estate property. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of other assets or receivables. The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers.
Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral.
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all interest payments (interest-only, or “IO” and/or high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all principal payments (principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income.
iv. 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.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A 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.

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 a 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, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund 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 a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
iii. Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
Secured Borrowings — Secured borrowings are valued at their contractual amounts, which approximate fair value, and are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. Reverse Repurchase Agreements — Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest), under the terms of an MRA. The gross value of reverse repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
When a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it is required to deliver securities as collateral to the counterparty that exceed the value of the reverse repurchase agreement. During the term of a reverse repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities pledged as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the value of those securities pledged as

GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
collateral, including accrued interest, becomes less than the value of the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest, a Fund will be obligated to deliver additional collateral to the buyer. If the buyer defaults on its commitment to sell back the securities, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the amount borrowed is less than the replacement cost of similar securities and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the reverse repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the buyer, a court could determine that the Fund’s interest in the amount borrowed is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to a Fund.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.
GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.
B. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2018:

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar
49
GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
|
4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives (including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.
Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, a Fund may be required to post initial margin to the counterparty, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. A Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that the Investment Adviser believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

The Rising Dividend Growth Fund invests in Class R6 Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as investment adviser to any of the affiliated underlying funds in which the Fund invests. For the six months ended April 30, 2018, GSAM waived $2,402 of the Fund’s management fee.
B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Funds, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, 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 Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.

| | Class A* | | | Class C | | | Class R* | |
Distribution and/or Service Plan | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.50 | % |
* | | With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended April 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following front end sales charges:

Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of 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 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable 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 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, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, 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 the Income Builder and Rising Dividend Growth Funds are 0.034% and 0.014%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Investor, Institutional, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates 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 April 30, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Transfer Agency Fee Waiver/ Credits | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Expense Reductions | |
Income Builder Fund | | | | $ | 1,137,654 | | | $ | 306 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,137,960 | |
Rising Dividend Growth Fund | | | | | 2,402 | | | | 289 | | | | 230,913 | | | | 233,604 | |
G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 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 April 30, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.

The Income Builder Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Rising Dividend Growth Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the 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.

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Trust. 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, GSAL will and 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 GSAL or BNYM are unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL and/or 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 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 amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of April 30, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
The Funds, GSAL 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 April 30, 2018 are reported under “Investment Income” on the Statements of Operations.
The table below details securities lending activity with affiliates of Goldman Sachs:

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of April 30, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Income Builder | | | Rising Dividend Growth | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 1,825,462,883 | | | $ | 1,410,308,365 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 483,156,109 | | | | 190,102,870 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (418,272,438 | ) | | | (68,126,564 | ) |
Net unrealized security gain | | $ | 64,883,671 | | | $ | 121,976,306 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, market gains/(losses) on regulated futures contracts and options contracts, net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, partnership investments, and material modification of debt securities.
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:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ 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 Funds. 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 Funds invest. 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 Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Funds also invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If a 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 a Fund’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

9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
Industry Concentration Risk — Concentrating Fund investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of industries will subject the Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industries.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Funds 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 Funds’ investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.
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.
Leverage Risk — Leverage creates exposure to potential gains and losses in excess of the initial amount invested. Borrowing and the use of derivatives may result in leverage and may make a Fund more volatile. When a Fund uses leverage, the sum of that Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. A Fund will identify liquid assets on its books or otherwise cover transactions that may give rise to such risk, to the extent required by applicable law. The use of leverage may cause a Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by a Fund can substantially increase the adverse impact to which the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.
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. 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.

9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Loan-Related Investments Risk — In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments, loan-related investments such as loan participations and assignments are subject to other risks. Although a loan obligation may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. Many loan investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. There is less readily available, reliable information about most loan investments than is the case for many other types of securities. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan obligation defaults. With respect to loan participations, the Income Builder Fund may not always have direct recourse against a borrower if the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and/or interest; may be subject to greater delays, expenses and risks than if the Fund had purchased a direct obligation of the borrower; and may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower), subjecting the Fund to the creditworthiness of that lender as well. Investors in loans, such as the Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, although they may be entitled to certain contractual remedies. The market for loan obligations may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Because transactions in many loans are subject to extended trade settlement periods, the Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund’s redemption obligations for a period after the sale of the loans, and, as a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions, such as borrowing from its credit facility, if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.
Senior Loans hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, and are typically secured with specific collateral, but are nevertheless usually rated below investment grade. Because Second Lien Loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority of payment to Senior Loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Master Limited Partnership Risk — Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.
On March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ended October 31, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments to the 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

11. INDEMNIFICATIONS (continued) |
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.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, 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 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, Investor, Class P, 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 November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365 day year. The Class R6 Shares example for the Rising Dividend Growth Fund is based on the period from March 1, 2018 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 61 out of 365 days, and the Class P Shares example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 14 out of 365 days. The Class P Shares example and the Class R6 Shares example (for the Rising Dividend Growth Fund) for hypothetical expenses reflect projected activity for the period from November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.
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 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 April 30, 2018.

The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Domestic Equity Insights Funds
Market Review
U.S. equities recorded a gain during the six months ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), with Federal Reserve (“Fed”) monetary policy, economic data and political events dominating market sentiment.
When the Reporting Period began in November 2017, progress on tax reform and strong economic activity were supportive of U.S. equities. In December, the Fed delivered the third rate hike of 2017, as had been widely expected, having done similarly in March and June 2017, and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018. U.S. equities gained additional momentum toward the end of December from the passage of a tax reform bill that reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
U.S. equities saw a strong start to 2018, driven by positive economic data, the $1.5 trillion tax reform law and a favorable corporate earnings season. In February 2018, however, equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of Fed short-term interest rate hikes, which stoked a sharp rise in bond yields and an increase in equity market volatility. Concerns about Fed monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. labor and inflation data. In late February 2018, new Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before Congress, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed meeting, surprised equity markets with its hawkish tilt and sparked a sell-off. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In March 2018, escalating trade tensions and potential tariffs weighed on investor sentiment. Meanwhile, the Fed raised short-term interest rates again, much as the market had expected. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, continued to point to a total of three interest rate increases in 2018. However, Fed policymakers acknowledged that the “economic outlook has strengthened in recent months,” revising their growth forecast higher and their employment rate forecast lower.
The U.S. equity market was relatively muted in April 2018, as the U.S. and China continued to generate trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty about sanctions on Russia surfaced. A number of macroeconomic drivers, including U.S. labor market strength, higher inflation and fiscal stimulus, pushed up U.S. Treasury yields, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield breaching 3% toward month end. With more than half of S&P 500® Index companies having reported their first quarter 2018 results, the earnings season began strongly during April 2018.
For the Reporting Period overall, the S&P 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) returned 3.82%, with seven of its 11 sectors generating positive absolute returns. Consumer discretionary and energy were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index by some distance, followed by information technology and financials, which also posted solidly positive absolute returns. Utilities, consumer staples, real estate and materials were the only sectors in the S&P 500® Index that declined during the Reporting Period.
In terms of market capitalization, large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks. The Russell 2000® Index, which measures the small-cap universe, returned 3.27% during the Reporting Period. In the style arena, growth stocks outperformed value stocks overall. The Russell 1000® Growth Index, representing large-cap growth stocks, rose 5.68% during the Reporting Period, while the Russell 1000® Value Index, representing large-cap value stocks, returned 1.94%.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe that less expensive stocks should outpace more expensive stocks. In addition, we expected stocks with good momentum to outperform those with poor momentum. We plan to focus on seeking companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive as well as profitable companies with sustainable earnings and a track record of using their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested, with long-term performance likely to be the result of stock selection rather than sector or capitalization allocations.
We stand behind our investment philosophy that sound economic investment principles, coupled with a disciplined quantitative approach, can provide strong, uncorrelated returns over the long term. Our research agenda is robust, and we continue to enhance our existing models, add new proprietary forecasting signals and improve our trading execution as we seek to provide the most value to our shareholders.

What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’
Domestic Equity Insights Funds Investment Process?
At Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), Equity Insights combines traditional fundamental analysis with sophisticated quantitative modeling. Our approach is not unlike that of a more traditional active manager: we look at fundamental investment themes that have been effective historically in forecasting excess returns of stocks. However, where we differ from traditional managers is that we seek to rigorously test every potential research theme or signal to verify whether they have shown consistent predictive ability across a wide variety of stocks in different time periods and under different market conditions.
∎ | | Comprehensive – We calculate expected excess returns for more than 10,000 stocks on a daily basis. |
∎ | | Rigorous – We evaluate stocks based on fundamental investment criteria that have outperformed historically. |
∎ | | Objective – Our stock selection process is free from the emotion that may lead to biased investment decisions. |
∎ | | Our computer optimization process allocates risk to our high conviction investment ideas and constructs funds that strive to neutralize systematic risks and deliver better returns. |
∎ | | We use a proprietary risk model that is designed to be more precise, more focused and faster to respond because it seeks to identify, track and manage risk specific to our process, using daily data. |
Fully invested, well-diversified portfolio that seeks to:
∎ | | Maintain style, sector, risk and capitalization characteristics similar to the benchmark. |
∎ | | Offer broad access to a clearly defined equity universe. |
∎ | | Generate excess returns that are positive, consistent and repeatable. |

GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
Enhancements Made to Proprietary Quantitative Model during the Six-Month Period Ended April 30, 2018
We continuously look for ways to improve our investment process. Accordingly, we introduced a number of enhancements to our proprietary quantitative model during the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
We introduced two new signals within our Profitability theme that use various alternative data sources, seeking to identify companies benefiting from consumer spending. The first signal aims to forecast sales growth trends, not just for the upcoming quarter but for multiple quarters ahead, by looking for underlying trends. The second signal analyzes profitability of retailers by assessing customer traffic in the retailer’s location.
We also introduced new signals within our Momentum theme that help us create economic links between companies with similar businesses. The first signal identifies companies linked by a common theme based on company descriptions. The second signal seeks to identify linked companies by looking at searches made on the same day for regulatory filings of multiple companies.
Additionally, we introduced an Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) signal within our Management theme that helps us quantify reputational risk. The signal looks at ESG risk events to form a view of the peak risk of a given company from an ESG perspective.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 5.57%, 5.18%, 5.78%, 5.49%, 5.72%, 5.43% and 5.80%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.68% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.25% compared to the -1.05% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, five of our quantitative model’s six investment themes added to relative performance. However, the Fund generally underperformed the Index because of certain individual stock positions. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, five of our six investment themes contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. Quality was our best performing theme. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. Profitability, Sentiment, Momentum and Management also bolstered relative returns. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
| Our Valuation theme detracted from relative performance. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, certain individual stock positions, including holdings in the health care, consumer discretionary and financials sectors, detracted from relative returns. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the energy, materials and industrials sectors. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hampered during the Reporting Period by overweights relative to the Index in Mettler Toledo, a manufacturer of scales and analytical instruments; Applied Materials, a provider of equipment, services and software to semiconductor, flat panel display and solar products companies; and Biogen, a biotechnology firm. We chose to overweight Mettler Toledo and Applied Materials because of our positive views on Sentiment and Momentum. Our positive views on Sentiment and Valuation led us to overweight Biogen. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in Valero Energy and F5 Networks. An underweight in The 3M Company also contributed positively. The overweight in petroleum refiner Valero Energy was due to our positive views on Valuation and Momentum. We adopted the overweight in F5 Networks, which specializes in application delivery networking technology, because of our positive views on Sentiment and Quality. The Fund was underweight The 3M Company, a manufacturer of industrial, safety, medical and consumer products, because of our negative views on Momentum and Valuation. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the health care, financials, energy and real estate sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the consumer staples, industrials, information technology, materials and consumer discretionary sectors. |

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 P, 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 3.56%, 3.18%, 3.75%, 3.49%, 3.70%, 3.42% and 3.72%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.94% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.19% compared to the -1.07% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund outperformed the Index, with five of our quantitative model’s six investment themes adding to relative returns. Stock selection overall enhanced performance. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |

Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund benefited from overweights compared to the Index in Valero Energy and HollyFrontier, both petroleum refiners. Our positive views on Valuation and Momentum led us to overweight both Valero Energy and HollyFrontier. An underweight in industrial conglomerate General Electric, based on our negative views on Sentiment and Quality, also added to the Fund’s relative performance. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s overweight positions in Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”) and Realogy Holdings detracted from relative returns. The overweight in utilities company PG&E was the result of our positive views on Sentiment and Valuation. We chose to overweight Realogy Holdings, a provider of real estate and relocation services, because of our positive views on Valuation and Momentum. An underweight in Cisco Systems, an information technology and networking company, also hurt relative results. The Fund’s underweight in Cisco Systems was driven by our negative views on Momentum and Profitability. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the health care, real estate, consumer discretionary and energy sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the utilities, consumer staples, telecommunication services and industrials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the financials, information technology and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, 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 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 3.71%, 3.39%, 3.93%, 3.69%, 3.86%, 3.62% and 3.96%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.27% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.98% compared to the -1.33% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund outperformed the Index, with four of our quantitative model’s six investment themes adding to relative returns. Stock selection overall bolstered performance. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, four of our six investment themes–Profitability, Quality, Management and Sentiment–added to the Fund’s relative returns. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. |
| Our Valuation and Momentum themes detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |
15
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, security selection in the financials, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors contributed positively. Holdings in the health care sector detracted from relative performance. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund benefited most from overweights relative to the Index in Enova International, American Eagle Outfitters and Etsy. Our positive views on Quality and Sentiment led to the Fund’s overweight in Enova International, an online lending company. The overweight position in clothing retailer American Eagle Outfitters was based on our positive views on Sentiment and Profitability. The Fund was overweight e-commerce website Etsy due to our positive views on Sentiment and Quality. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was hurt during the Reporting Period by an underweight position in Nektar Therapeutics as well as by overweight positions in Akebia Therapeutics and Argan. Our negative views on Valuation and Quality led us to underweight biopharmaceutical maker Nektar Therapeutics. The Fund’s overweight in biopharmaceutical company Akebia was driven by our positive views on Sentiment and Quality. We chose to overweight construction engineering firm Argan because of our positive views on Valuation and Quality. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the health care, utilities, information technology and financials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the energy, telecommunication services, materials, consumer staples and real estate sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Growth Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 5.30%, 4.88%, 5.50%, 5.43%, 5.16% and 5.47%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.46% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -2.39% compared to the -1.96% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, four of our quantitative model’s six investment themes added to relative performance. However, the Fund generally underperformed the Index largely because of certain individual stock positions. |

Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag.

The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the Index. |
| Certain stock positions caused the Fund to underperform the Index. During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by security selection in the health care, information technology and telecommunication services sectors. Investments in the industrials, consumer discretionary and financials sectors added to relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund’s underweights relative to the Index in Nektar Therapeutics and AveXis detracted from performance. Our negative views on Valuation and Quality led us to underweight biopharmaceutical maker Nektar Therapeutics. We chose to underweight biotechnology company AveXis because of our negative views on Quality and Profitability. The Fund’s overweight in biopharmaceutical company Akebia Therapeutics, which was driven by our positive views on Sentiment and Quality, was also a drag on relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in Enova International, Etsy and TriNet Group. Our positive views on Quality and Sentiment led to the Fund’s overweight in Enova International, an online lending company. The Fund’s overweight position in e-commerce website Etsy was due to our positive views on Sentiment and Quality. We adopted the overweight in TriNet Group, a provider of human resources solutions to small and mid-sized businesses, because of our positive views on Momentum and Sentiment. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the financials sector relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the health care and information technology sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the telecommunication services, energy, materials, consumer discretionary, industrials, utilities, consumer staples and real estate sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 1.8% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2018.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 3.73%, 3.34%, 3.92%, 3.86%, 3.59% and 3.93%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.94% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.98% compared to the -0.62% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund outperformed the Index, with four of our quantitative model’s six investment themes adding to relative returns. Stock selection overall contributed positively. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s relative performance was bolstered by four of our six investment themes–Profitability, Quality, Management and Sentiment. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. |
| Our Valuation theme detracted from relative returns. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. |
| The impact of our Momentum theme was rather neutral during the Reporting Period. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |
26
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, stock selection enhanced the Fund’s relative results. Investments in the financials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors added to performance. Security selection in the health care, utilities and consumer staples sectors limited the Fund’s gains versus the Index. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual positions, the Fund benefited from its overweights compared to the Index in Enova International, American Eagle Outfitters and Delek U.S. Holdings. Our positive views on Quality and Sentiment led to the Fund’s overweight in Enova International, an online lending company. The overweight position in clothing retailer American Eagle Outfitters was based on our positive views on Sentiment and Profitability. We adopted the overweight in Delek U.S. Holdings, an energy company focused on petroleum refining, logistics and convenience store retailing, because of our positive views on Quality and Sentiment. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hampered by its overweight positions in Consolidated Communications Holdings, an Internet service provider and telecommunications company; Esterline Technologies, a designer and manufacturer of specialty products primarily for aerospace and defense customers; and Rush Enterprises, a commercial vehicle retailer. We chose to overweight Consolidated Communications Holdings due to our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment. The Fund was overweight Esterline Technologies as a result of our positive views on Momentum and Profitability. Our positive views on Momentum and Quality led us to overweight Rush Enterprises. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the industrials, consumer discretionary and materials sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the utilities, information technology and financials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the real estate, consumer staples, energy, telecommunication services and health care sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 4.60%, 4.21%, 4.81%, 4.54%, 4.74%, 4.48% and 4.81%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.82% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.08% compared to the -1.08% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund outperformed the Index, with five of our quantitative model’s six investment themes adding to relative returns. Stock selection overall bolstered results. |

Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was helped by its overweights compared to the Index in petroleum refiner Valero Energy and aerospace and defense company Boeing. Our positive views on Valuation and Momentum led us to overweight Valero Energy, while the overweight in Boeing was due to our positive views on Quality and Sentiment. An underweight in industrial conglomerate General Electric, based on our negative views on Sentiment and Quality, also added to the Fund’s relative performance. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s overweight positions in Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”) and Cigna detracted from relative returns. The overweight in utilities company PG&E was the result of our positive views on Sentiment and Valuation. We decided to overweight health care insurer Cigna because of our positive views on Sentiment and Momentum. An underweight in Cisco Systems, an information technology and networking company, also hurt relative results. The Fund’s underweight in Cisco Systems was driven by our negative views on Momentum and Profitability. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts.

Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the information technology, consumer staples, utilities, industrials, telecommunication services and materials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the financials sector at the end of the Reporting Period. |

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.

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
As of April 30, 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. 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. |

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, if any. 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.
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), 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.
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
84

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 |
Large Cap Value Insights | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Large Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights, Small Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Value Insights and U.S. Equity Insights | | | | Annually | | Annually |
Net capital losses, 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.

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.

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.
Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”) are valued at the NAV of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding the Government Money Market Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Government Money Market 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 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. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, 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 Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees.
86
GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third-party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

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

Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended April 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts:

D. Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans to allow Class C and Service Shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and/or shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C or Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares. Effective February 28, 2017, Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.04% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares of the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Growth Insights Fund. This arrangement was in effect at the start of fiscal year and discontinued as of February 28, 2018.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, 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 are 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates, 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 April 30, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 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 April 30, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs earned $743, $454, $266, $457, $94 and $370 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Large Cap Growth Insights, Large Cap Value Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights, Small Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Value Insights and U.S. Equity Insights Funds, respectively.
As of April 30, 2018, the following Goldman Sachs Fund of Funds Portfolios and Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Aware Equity Portfolios were beneficial owners of 5% or more of total outstanding shares of the following Funds:

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
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, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL will indemnify the Funds by paying 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 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 received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of April 30, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable. The Large Cap Growth Insights, Large Cap Value Insights, and U.S. Equity Insights Funds did not have securities on loan as of April 30, 2018.
Both the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, October 31, 2017, the Funds’ capital loss carryforwards and certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

As of April 30, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Large Cap Growth Insights | | | Large Cap Value Insights | | | Small Cap Equity Insights | | | Small Cap Growth Insights | | | Small Cap Value Insights | | | U.S. Equity Insights | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 1,802,480,515 | | | $ | 422,668,739 | | | $ | 295,852,148 | | | $ | 627,932,603 | | | $ | 181,542,497 | | | $ | 657,684,806 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 275,328,279 | | | | 32,566,326 | | | | 42,085,593 | | | | 100,254,963 | | | | 125,134,242 | | | | 93,700,803 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (46,534,674 | ) | | | (16,051,627 | ) | | | (11,593,378 | ) | | | (21,034,063 | ) | | | (106,972,959 | ) | | | (18,918,200 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | | 228,793,605 | | | | 16,514,699 | | | | 30,492,215 | | | | 79,220,900 | | | | 18,161,283 | | | | 74,782,603 | |
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, and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments and real estate investment trusts.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ 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 Funds. 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Foreign Custody Risk — If a 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 a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
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.

Fund Expenses — Period Ended April 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) 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 P, 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 November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365 day year. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 14 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher:

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Funds
Market Review
Emerging markets equities advanced during the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”). The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EM Index”) posted a return of 4.80%.* Emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets equities on a relative basis, as measured by the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index, which returned 3.41% for the same time period.
As the Reporting Period began in November 2017, a robust third calendar quarter corporate earnings reporting season was a positive driver for emerging market equities, despite a pullback from a global technology sell-off. A weaker U.S. dollar and commodities strength also helped emerging market equities close out calendar year 2017 with a healthy total return. In December 2017, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) delivered its third interest rate hike of 2017, as had been widely expected, and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018.
Emerging market equities endured a rather volatile first three months of 2018 to post positive returns for a fifth consecutive quarter. The new calendar year began strongly, with emerging market equities outperforming developed market equities in January 2018, buoyed by a strong global economic backdrop, rising oil prices and a softer U.S. dollar. Latin American equities were the strongest performers, led by Brazil, while Asian equities were largely driven by a notable rally in Chinese equities. In February 2018, however, the MSCI EM Index lost 4.61%, as equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes by the Fed, which stoked a sharp rise in bond yields and in equity market volatility. Concerns about monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. labor and inflation data. While the hawkish Fed minutes released were largely expected, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Congressional testimony surprised markets with its hawkish tilt, sparking another sell-off. (Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In March 2018, a global equity market sell-off was driven by escalating concerns about trade relations with the U.S., as the current Administration’s announcement of a 25% tariff on an estimated $50 billion of Chinese imports weighed on investor sentiment broadly.
April saw volatility continue, driven by trade headlines around U.S. and China, rising U.S. Treasury yields and increased focus on the technology sector given ongoing discussion around the regulatory environment. Investor concern also increased with rising geopolitical risks surrounding North Korea and Syria as well as by the announcement of additional sanctions on Russia. The MSCI EM Index posted a modest decline for the month.
For the Reporting Period as a whole, health care and energy were the best performing sectors in the MSCI EM Index by some distance, followed by materials and financials, which also posted robust positive returns. Consumer discretionary was the weakest sector in the MSCI EM Index and the only one to post a negative absolute return during the Reporting Period. Information technology, telecommunication services and real estate were also weak performers but eked out modestly positive absolute returns for the Reporting Period.
From a country perspective, Colombia, Greece, Peru, Qatar, Malaysia and Thailand were the best performing individual constituents of the MSCI EM Index for the Reporting Period, each posting double-digit absolute gains for the Reporting Period. Conversely, Turkey, the Philippines, United Arab Emirates, Poland and Indonesia were the weakest individual country constituents of the MSCI EM Index, each posting a negative absolute return during the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed emerging market equities were still a bright spot. In our view, emerging market equities could be in the early stages of a multi-year recovery, underpinned by economic growth acceleration, corporate earnings revival and what we see as attractive valuations. We expect accelerating emerging market economic growth to exceed that of developed market economies in the next few years. Indeed, a variety of economists expect the emerging markets to contribute more than 70% of global Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth from 2015 to 2025, and we estimate that 1.2 billion people in the emerging markets may rise into middle and higher income classes during this 10-year period, with real consumption expanding more than 100%. (Real consumption is the value of goods and services bought by people to be used up out of a household’s current income.) This shift toward a higher income, higher consuming level has been evident in the changing composition of emerging market equity markets toward the information technology and consumer-oriented sectors. Further bolstering our positive view on emerging market equities going forward are supportive macro fundamentals, which have revived emerging market corporate earnings growth to the point of outpacing that of developed markets, and valuations that were trading, at the end of the Reporting Period, at approximately a 20% discount to developed market equities.
We were particularly optimistic on India at the end of the Reporting Period given the earnings recovery spurred by its government’s focus on improving the ease of doing business, simplifying taxation, pushing for infrastructure and promoting a stable inflationary outlook. We believe Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) implementation could be a structural growth driver in India in the coming years. Anecdotally, a logistics company we met with not long ago saw a one-third reduction in the time taken to transport goods between Mumbai and Delhi due to the abandoning of checkpoints at state borders. GST could also accelerate, in our view, the shift toward the organized segment, and those companies operating in industries until now dominated by unorganized players could be key beneficiaries, such as jewelry, retail, ceramics and textiles. (The organized segment refers to the portion of India’s market that is formally registered with state governments and thus subject to regulation.) At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to favor businesses exposed to the cyclical recovery in sectors such as building materials, industrials and non-banking financials.
As always, we maintain our focus on seeking high-quality equity investments trading at compelling valuations and intend to stay true to our long-term discipline as we seek to navigate potentially volatile markets ahead.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Asia ex Japan Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Asia Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 and Investor Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.69%, 3.32%, 3.88% and 3.77%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.77% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| | From their inception on February 28, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -2.66%. This return compares to the -0.81% cumulative total return of the Index during the same period. |
| | From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.96%. This return compares to the 0.51% cumulative total return of the Index during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted positive absolute returns but underperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period, primarily attributable to individual stock selection. From a country perspective, stock selection in South Korea and Taiwan and positioning in Malaysia detracted from the Fund’s relative results most. Stock selection in China/Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines contributed most positively. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Index were positions in NCSoft, Brilliance China Automotive Holdings and Kingpak Technology. |
| | NCSoft is a South Korea-based company that develops and markets online games and designs and constructs databases, Intranet and commercial Internet access systems. Its share price declined during the Reporting Period mainly due to investors rotating from the information technology sector into more late-cyclical names. A delay in the normalization of Korea/China political relations further affected the overall sentiment around the stock, as the company has been on course to launch a new game in China. Despite these headwinds, we remained positive on the stock at the end of the Reporting Period, as we view the company as a leading game development and distribution company with a strong user base. |
| | Shares of Brilliance China Automotive Holdings declined significantly during the Reporting Period. The company manufactures motor vehicles and is a distributor of a variety of automotive components. It also holds a joint venture with BMW for the production and sales of BMW passenger cars in China. Brilliance China Automotive Holdings reported positive 2017 results with strong profitability and free cash flow for the BMW joint venture. It also reported strong auto sales during the Reporting Period. However, increased friction in the China/U.S. trade relationship, along with uncertainty with regard to regulatory changes, affected its share price performance. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained our positive view of the company’s fundamentals and were carefully monitoring any visible regulatory changes that might affect the company. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Kingpak Technology was a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period. Not a component of the Index, it underperformed the Index during the time held in the Fund and thus detracted. Kingpak Technology is an integrated circuit packaging company listed in the Taiwanese market with a focus on complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (“CMOS”) image sensor packaging services and automotive applications. We initiated the position during the first quarter of 2018 on our expectations of an increase in camera adoption per vehicle following growing high safety requirements as well as a need for driver-assisted and driverless systems in automobiles. In our view, Kingpak Technology offers a unique packaging technology for auto CMOS sensor packaging, and we expect this technology to help extend its customer base in the coming years. The stock detracted from Fund results, during the Reporting Period, however, as information technology companies in Taiwan experienced weak end-demand during the first quarter of 2018, which led multi-layer ceramic capacitor and memory companies to become the favored space for investors in an effort to avoid weak seasonality. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Index from holdings in DBS Group Holdings, Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine and Celltrion Healthcare. |
| | The Fund’s overweight position in DBS Group Holdings, a Singapore-based bank, contributed the most to its relative results during the Reporting Period. The company, through its subsidiaries, provides consumer banking, financial advisory and brokerage services. Its shares performed well on expectations of an increase in profit margins, as DBS Group Holdings, with its high current and savings account ratio, could benefit from an upward U.S. interest rate cycle. Higher commodity prices also helped in the recovery of loan loss provisions for the oil and gas sector. Additionally, diminishing concerns about a slowdown in both the Singapore property market and Chinese market growth supported its stock price’s rally. |
| | Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine, one of the largest pharmaceutical producers in China, is not a component of the Index but outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. Its stock’s strong performance was driven by the company’s significant progress in research and development, as some of its pipeline products progressed into advanced stages of clinical trials while others are awaiting final regulatory approval. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed that, along with its strong research and development capability, what we view as Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine’s healthy pipeline of both first-to-market generics and innovation drugs could yield positive results for the business in the coming years. |
| | Celltrion Healthcare is a marketer of biopharmaceutical products in the South Korean health care sector. Following the success of its first product, infliximab similar, in Europe in 2016, the company launched the same product in the U.S. during the Reporting Period. The company also has two more products in its pipeline — Rituxan and Herceptin similar, each of which either completed its last phase of clinical testing or has already received approval from regulatory bodies in both the European Union and the U.S. Given fixed profit sharing plans between the manufacturing and sales companies, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that robust sales performance of its biosimilar products in these major markets may well be a primary driver of both top-line and bottom-line growth over the next three to five years. That said, we opted to sell the Fund’s position in Celltrion Healthcare, taking profits, as its share price rose well above our target price under any scenario we foresaw. (A biosimilar product is a biological product that is approved based on a showing that it is highly similar to a Food and Drug Administration-approved biological product, known as a reference product, and has no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety and effectiveness from the reference product.) |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were consumer discretionary, information technology and energy, each driven primarily by weak stock selection. Having an overweighted allocation to consumer discretionary, which lagged the Index during the Reporting Period, and an underweighted allocation to energy, which outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. At an individual stock level, the Fund’s position in Brilliance China Automotive Holdings, mentioned earlier, disappointed most in the consumer discretionary sector. In information technology, the Fund’s overweight position in NCSoft, also mentioned earlier, detracted most. The Fund’s overweight position in Bharat Petroleum, an India-based exploration and oil marketing company, dampened relative results most in energy. Having a position in cash during a Reporting Period |

| when the Index advanced also dampened the Fund’s relative results. |
| | The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index were industrials, health care and financials, where stock selection in each boosted relative results. Having an overweight to health care, which was the strongest performing sector in the Index during the Reporting Period, also helped. At an individual stock level, an out-of-Index position in TeamLease Services, an India-based recruitment consultant and human resource staffing firm, helped most in industrials. The Fund’s out-of-Index position in Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine, mentioned earlier, boosted results most in health care. The Fund’s overweight position in DBS Group Holdings, also mentioned earlier, added the most value within the financials sector. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase already mentioned, we initiated a Fund position in Hankook Tire during the Reporting Period. Based in South Korea, it is the seventh largest manufacturer of tires in the world, selling close to 100 million tires annually. We established the position because we expect the company to benefit from the shift in demand toward greater than 17-inch tires. With raw material prices expected to remain benign during the next few years, Hankook Tire, in our opinion, could reduce its pricing gap with other major players in the industry, which could further improve its margins. On the date of purchase, we believed its valuation was attractive and the company was well positioned in the competitive environment to sustain its strong return profile. |
| | We established a Fund position in Bursa Malaysia within the financials sector. It is a holding company operating a fully integrated stock exchange in Malaysia. We are constructive on the company’s monopolistic position, dividend yield level and strong free cash flow conversion. |
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale mentioned earlier, we eliminated the Fund’s position in Sino Biopharmaceutical, one of the largest manufacturers of drugs for the treatment of hepatitis, cardiovascular diseases and oncology in China. It is one among many companies showcasing consistent spending on research and development along with having a huge product pipeline. We sold the stock after its strong price rally during the Reporting Period on the back of good performance and the Chinese government’s supportive policies encouraging innovation and favoring quality companies. |
| | We exited the Fund’s position in Telekomunikasi, an Indonesian telecommunication services provider. The Indonesian telecommunications industry has been witnessing intense competition given subscriber registration being made mandatory by the regulators. The companies in the industry want to “lock in” subscribers before the registration deadline, resulting in intense competition. This has resulted in data yield compression and a severe decline in voice revenues. We expect the competition to last through 2018, and thus we sold the position. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most sector weights are usually established within a relatively narrow range from the Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, during the Reporting Period, relative to the Index, the Fund’s exposure to information technology and consumer discretionary increased, and its allocations to health care and telecommunication services decreased. |
| | Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. During the Reporting Period, relative to the Index, the Fund’s allocations to China/Hong Kong and South Korea increased, and its exposure to India decreased. |
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 | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweighted exposure to South Korea and India and held an out-of-Index allocation in Vietnam. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted exposure relative to the Index to Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore and had rather neutral exposure relative to the Index in China/Hong Kong, Thailand and the Philippines. The Fund had no exposure to Pakistan at the end of the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Index in the consumer discretionary, information technology and health care sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Index in the real estate, telecommunication services and energy sectors and was relatively neutrally weighted compared to the Index in financials, industrials, consumer staples and materials. The Fund had no exposure to the utilities sector at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

| 2 | | The MSCI® All Country Asia ex-Japan Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of Asia, excluding Japan. As of April 30, 2018, the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index consisted of the following 11 developed and emerging market country indices: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. The series of returns reflected by the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI Barra uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.89%, 2.48%, 3.05%, 2.83%, 3.02% and 3.13%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.80% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| | From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -2.00%. This return compares to the 0.15% cumulative total return of the Index during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted positive absolute returns but underperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period, primarily attributable to individual stock selection. From a country perspective, stock selection in Taiwan and South Korea detracted from the Fund’s performance most. Having an overweighted allocation to India, which lagged the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. These detractors were partially offset by the positive contributions of effective stock selection in China, Mexico and United Arab Emirates. |
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 Index were positions in Fit Hong Teng, X5 Retail Group and Hindalco Industries. |
| | Fit Hong Teng, an out-of-Index holding, is a Taiwan-based electrical components manufacturer and distributor. The company reported earnings in line with consensus expectations during the second half of 2017. However, its margin performance was weaker than market expected due to higher shipments for smartphone connectors. The weak margin performance, in turn, triggered some concern about its earnings growth potential. Meanwhile, the trade war between the U.S. and China also caused concern about its U.S. auto component business development. As a result, its share price faced selling pressures and experienced a double-digit decline. |
| | X5 Retail Group, also an out-of-Index holding, is the largest food retailer in Russia. The company witnessed a weak start to 2018 with lower than consensus expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margins. It also faced increased competition in Moscow, particularly from specialized stores and supermarkets. While we continued to like its management’s proactive approach toward preparing the business for a more disruptive retail environment going forward, we sold the Fund’s position in the stock by the end of the Reporting Period in favor of what we considered more compelling investment opportunities. |
| | Hindalco Industries is an India-based integrated aluminum producer and copper manufacturer. It underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period as the company reported poor margins due to both lower copper earnings and cost increases. Its costs increased as rising energy prices pushed up aluminum production costs for smelters globally. Still, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund maintained its position in the stock, as we found the company’s cost increases modest relative to industry standards. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Celltrion Healthcare, Galaxy Entertainment Group and Anhui Conch Cement. |
11
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Celltrion Healthcare is a marketer of biopharmaceutical products in the South Korean health care sector. Following the success of its first product, infliximab similar, in Europe in 2016, the company launched the same product in the U.S. during the Reporting Period. The company also has two more products in its pipeline — Rituxan and Herceptin similar, each of which either completed its last phase of clinical testing or has already received approval from regulatory bodies in both the European Union and the U.S. Given fixed profit sharing plans between the manufacturing and sales companies, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that robust sales performance of its biosimilar products in these major markets may well be a primary driver of both top-line and bottom-line growth over the next three to five years. That said, we opted to sell the Fund’s position in Celltrion Healthcare, taking profits, as its share price rose well above our target price under any scenario we foresaw. (A biosimilar product is a biological product that is approved based on a showing that it is highly similar to a Food and Drug Administration-approved biological product, known as a reference product, and has no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety and effectiveness from the reference product.) |
| | Galaxy Entertainment Group, based in Hong Kong, operates casino, hotels and other entertainment facilities in Macau through its subsidiary. Galaxy Entertainment Group performed well, as Macau gross gaming revenue remained strong during the Reporting Period. Headline gross gaming revenue grew approximately 21% year over year and 6% quarter over quarter in the first quarter of 2018 to a three-year high. The industry’s VIP consumer base was still the primary driver of growth, while a broader consumer base was also strong. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on the industry, as we believe it is in the middle of a positive profit cycle. |
| | Anhui Conch Cement, a new purchase for the Fund during the Reporting Period, is the largest cement producer in China. We initiated the position because we expected supply-side discipline and enforcement of stricter environmental measures to lead to limited capacity addition and increasing utilization of the cement industry in China. Further, in our view, the company stood out as the cost leader with the strongest balance sheet in its industry. We expected its free cash flow yield to potentially move the company to a net cash position with the possibility of a higher dividend payout. During the time we held the position during the Reporting Period, it outperformed the Index, especially in April 2018 when demand for its products picked up substantially, and lower inventory led to higher cement prices and shipments. Anhui Conch Cement also reported strong first quarter 2018 earnings growth of approximately 122% year over year, with its profitability reaching a multi-year high level as supply discipline and government-enforced production cuts resulted in a particularly tight market. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Index, weak stock selection in energy, financials and materials detracted most from the Fund’s relative results. Having an underweighted allocation to energy, which outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, also dampened relative results. In energy, the Fund’s position in BPCL, an Indian exploration and oil marketing company, was the largest detractor from relative returns. In financials, the Fund’s position in Qudian, a Chinese online micro lending service provider, was the biggest disappointment. In materials, the Fund’s position in Hindalco Industries, already mentioned, detracted most from returns. |
| | Conversely, strong stock selection within the industrials, health care and consumer staples sectors contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance. In industrials, the Fund’s holding in TeamLease Services, a recruitment consultant and human resource staffing firm in India, was the strongest contributor. In health care, the Fund’s holding in Celltrion Healthcare, mentioned earlier, was the strongest contributor. In consumer staples, Kweichow Moutai, the largest Chinese hard liquor maker positioned at the premium-end of the market in China, boosted Fund results most. |
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 our active management strategy. However, we used index futures to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of index futures, which facilitated purchases and redemptions. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase mentioned earlier, we initiated a Fund position in China Merchants Bank during the Reporting Period. We like China Merchants Bank’s focus on consumer |

| banking, which caters to the growing financial services need of the country’s middle class. The bank generated more than 50% of its net income from the retail segment in 2017, leading to what we view as its superior return on assets profile. Further, the bank’s balance sheet, in our opinion, has been prudently managed, with 180% non-performing loan coverage and 3.37% loan reserve coverage at the end of 2017. |
| | Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in Bharat Petroleum, an India-based exploration and oil marketing company, during the Reporting Period. We exited the Fund’s position in the stock, as we expect the business to experience headwinds due to rising oil prices, which could put further pressure on its margins, especially if the Indian government decides not to pass on rising costs to customers. The slow stabilization of its recent Kochi refinery expansion could also hurt the company’s gross refining margins, in our opinion. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Fund weightings at a sector level are driven by bottom-up stock selection. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index to consumer discretionary increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to financials, consumer staples and health care decreased. The Fund’s position in cash also increased during the Reporting Period. |
| | Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. As such, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index in Taiwan and South Africa increased, and its allocation relative to the Index to India decreased. |
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 | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweighted exposures to India and Peru and underweighted exposures to South Africa, Taiwan, South Korea and Malaysia relative to the Index. On the same date, the Fund was relatively neutrally weighted to the Index in the remaining components of the Index and had exposure to several equity markets that are not components of the Index, including Argentina, Georgia, Germany, Ukraine, Spain, Romania and Vietnam. The Fund had no exposure to Index components Chile, Hungary, Pakistan and Qatar at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Index in financials and consumer discretionary at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Index in the materials, real estate, telecommunication services and energy sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had rather neutral exposure to the consumer staples, health care, industrials and information technology sectors and no allocation to the utilities sector at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs N-11 Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 and Investor Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 1.72%, 1.37%, 2.02% and 1.85%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.54% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Next 11 ex-Iran GDP Weighted Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| | From their inception on February 28, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class R6 shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -2.40%. This return compares to the -2.61% cumulative total return of the Index during the same period. |
| | From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -1.07%. This return compares to the -1.27% cumulative total return of the Index during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund posted positive absolute returns but underperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s stock selection in South Korea and Pakistan detracted most. Having no exposure to Nigeria, the second strongest performing constituent of the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Such detractors were only partially offset by the positive contributions of effective stock selection in Mexico and Egypt and of having an overweight to Vietnam, the best performing constituent in the 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 Index were positions in Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa, ING Life Insurance Korea and Hanssem. |
| | Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa is an Indonesian producer of cement and specialty cement products. The company’s shares declined during the Reporting Period on the back of investor concerns about oversupply in the market. |
| | ING Life Insurance Korea is an insurance and financial services provider throughout South Korea. Its shares underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period on heightened investor concerns that a potential acquisition by a bank holding group might cut what had been the industry’s highest dividend payout, i.e. more than 60% in 2017. However, non-banking financial companies are not subject to Financial Supervisory Service’s (“FSS”) stringent regulation on capital adequacy, and thus we maintained the Fund’s position in ING Life Insurance Korea at the end of the Reporting Period. (The FSS was established on January 2, 1999, as South Korea’s fully integrated supervisory authority under the Act on the Establishment of Financial Supervisory Organizations (the “Establishment Act”) that the National Assembly approved on December 29, 1997. The Establishment Act created the FSS as a specially legislated quasi-government supervisory authority and charged it with financial supervision across the entire financial sector.) |
| | Hanssem is a South Korean manufacturer of kitchen and other interior household and office furniture. Hanssem’s share declined sharply after reporting both first quarter 2018 earnings that missed market expectations and sales downgrades. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were each in the financials sector — Joint Stock Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam, Commercial International Bank Egypt and Regional SAB de CV. |
| | Joint Stock Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam provides banking products and services for individuals, corporations and financial institutions in Vietnam. The company saw its share price rise during the Reporting Period, primarily driven by what the market perceived as a strong set of numbers with high profits and solid performance. |
| | Commercial International Bank Egypt provides a range of financial services in Egypt. The bank performed strongly during the Reporting Period on the back of reports of strong revenues and a solid balance sheet. |
| | Regional SAB de CV provides banking services in Mexico. The Mexican bank posted strong returns during the Reporting Period attributably mostly to growth in its margins. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Index, weak stock selection in the health care, real estate and materials sectors detracted most from the Fund’s performance. Having an underweighted allocation to real estate, the second strongest performer in the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. |
| | Conversely, strong stock selection within financials, consumer discretionary and energy contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance. Having an underweight to energy, which was among the weakest sectors in the Index during the Reporting Period, also helped. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |
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 Hankook Tire. Based in South Korea, it is the seventh largest manufacturer of tires in the world, selling close to 100 million tires annually. We established the position because we expect the company to benefit from the shift in demand toward greater than 17-inch tires. With raw material prices expected to remain benign during the next few years, Hankook Tire, in our opinion, could reduce its pricing gap with other major players in the industry, which could further improve its margins. On the date of purchase, we believed its valuation was attractive and the company was well positioned in the competitive environment to sustain its strong return profile. |
| | We established a Fund position in MLP Saglik Himetleri, Turkey’s largest private health care services provider, given what we consider to be its strong growth prospects. |
| | Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in Amorepacific, the South Korean make-up brand. Sluggish sales in its domestic market due to one of its key products, a cushion foundation, entering into a down cycle, was the primary driver for us to exit the position. Further, to overcome its headwinds, we believed the company would likely be required to either incur significantly higher marketing costs for new product replacements or channel restructuring spending going forward. |
| | We eliminated the Fund’s position in Celltrion Healthcare. Celltrion Healthcare is a marketer of biopharmaceutical products in the South Korean health care sector. Following the success of its first product, infliximab similar, in Europe in 2016, the company launched the same product in the U.S. during the Reporting Period. The company also has two more products in its pipeline — Rituxan and Herceptin similar, each of which either completed its last phase of clinical testing or has already received approval from regulatory bodies in both the European Union and the U.S. Given fixed profit sharing plans between the manufacturing and sales companies, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that robust sales performance of its biosimilar products in these major markets may well be a primary driver of both top-line and bottom-line growth over the next three to five years. That said, we opted to sell the Fund’s position in Celltrion Healthcare, taking profits, as its share price rose well above our target price under any scenario we foresaw. (A biosimilar product is a biological product that is approved based on a showing that it is highly similar to a Food and Drug Administration-approved biological product, known as a reference product, and has no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety and effectiveness from the reference product.) |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Fund weightings at a sector level are driven by bottom-up stock selection. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index to financials, consumer discretionary and information technology increased, and its allocation relative to the Index to consumer staples decreased. |
| | Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. As such, the Fund’s allocation relative to the Index to Indonesia increased, and its exposure relative to the Index in South Korea decreased. |
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 | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in Pakistan, Vietnam, Egypt, the Philippines and Indonesia and was underweight relative to the Index in South Korea. On the same date, the Fund was relatively neutrally weighted to the Index in all of the remaining country components of the Index, with the exception of Nigeria, where the Fund held no exposure at all. |
| | From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Index in financials, and to a lesser extent, in materials and information technology. The Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Index in industrials, consumer staples, telecommunication services, energy, real estate and health care at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund was relatively neutrally weighted to the Index in utilities and consumer discretionary at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

| 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 MSCI® Next 11 ex-Iran GDP Weighted Index (Net, Unhedged, USD) comprises the following 10 emerging and frontier market indices: Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey and Vietnam. The index is designed to reflect the performance of the N-11 ex Iran countries based on the size of each country’s economy rather than the size of its equity market, by using country weights based on a country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Each country is divided into large- and mid-cap segments and provides exhaustive coverage of these size segments by targeting a coverage range around 85% of free float-adjusted market capitalization in that market. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

| 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, Investor, Class P 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 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.

|
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, if any. 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.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, 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.

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 a 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 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.

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.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A 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. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund 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 a Fund, 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 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.

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the 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 Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“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, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds 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 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 received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of April 30, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Each of the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
The table below details securities lending activity with affiliates of Goldman Sachs:

Total capital loss carryforwards | | $ | — | | | $ | (35,255,872 | ) | | $ | (65,154,431 | ) |
As of April 30, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Asia Equity | | | Emerging Markets Equity | | | N-11 Equity | |
Tax cost | | $ | 79,419,573 | | | $ | 1,481,679,939 | | | $ | 50,069,764 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 17,932,192 | | | | 135,152,154 | | | | 18,760,423 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (5,126,650 | ) | | | (61,799,949 | ) | | | (4,176,831 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | $ | 12,805,542 | | | $ | 73,352,205 | | | $ | 14,583,592 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ 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 Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign 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 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 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 a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If a 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 a Fund’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 a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund 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.
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

9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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.

12. SUMMARY OF SHARE TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P or Class R6 Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) 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 and Service 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 P and 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 November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year. The Class R6 example is based on the period from March 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 61 out of 365 days for Asia Equity and N-11 funds. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 14 out of 365 days. The Class P and Class R6 example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018 for the purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fee or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental International Equity Funds
Market Review
International equities advanced during the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”). The MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) posted a return of 3.41%.*
Early in the Reporting Period, i.e. in the last two months of 2017, international equity market returns were relatively muted, particularly amongst larger companies. The U.K., however, performed better than many other developed markets. Although the U.K. Prime Minister suffered a defeat in the House of Commons over the European Union Withdrawal Bill in December 2017, the U.K. was judged by the European Union to have made sufficient progress on key issues to allow the next phase of Brexit negotiations — including discussions on trade — to begin. Elsewhere, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) upgraded its growth forecasts for the Eurozone’s economy, though optimism was tempered by lackluster inflation. The German and French equity markets declined for the month of December. The Bank of Japan’s quarterly Tankan survey of business sentiment showed that confidence improved, boosted by strengthening export activity, and the Japanese equity market eked out a modest gain for December 2017. That same month, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) delivered its third interest rate hike of 2017, as had been widely expected, and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018.
International equities enjoyed a strong start to 2018, driven by market exuberance about strong economic data, the $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform plan signed by Congress the previous month and the favorable start to the corporate earnings reporting season. In February 2018, however, equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes by the Fed, which stoked a sharp rise in bond yields and in equity market volatility. Concerns about monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. labor and inflation data. While the hawkish Fed minutes released were largely expected, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Congressional testimony surprised markets with its hawkish tilt, sparking another sell-off. (Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In March 2018, escalating trade tensions and tariffs weighed on investor sentiment and on global equity market performance. Political uncertainty in Germany and Italy and signs of slowing economic growth in Europe dampened investor sentiment as well. Meanwhile, the Fed delivered on a consensus-expected interest rate increase in March, with its projections continuing to point to three interest rate hikes this calendar year. In Europe, an agreement on a 21-month transition after Brexit between the U.K. and the European Union reduced political uncertainty. The international equity markets posted a modestly positive return in April 2018, but remained relatively muted for the month, as the U.S. and China generated trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty stemming from sanctions on Russia surfaced. The ECB and Bank of Japan kept their respective monetary policies unchanged, indicating ongoing monetary accommodation.
For the Reporting Period as a whole, energy was the best performing sector in the MSCI EAFE Index by some distance, followed by consumer discretionary and real estate. The weakest performing sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were telecommunication services, consumer staples and industrials.
From a country perspective, Singapore, Finland and Italy were the best performing individual constituents of the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. Sweden, Belgium and

MARKET REVIEW
Denmark were the weakest individual country constituents in the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period.
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the moderation in global economic data seen in the latter months of the Reporting Period led to risks to global economic growth being roughly balanced. We saw risks to the upside in Japan, where we believe there is room for a payback after surprisingly weak economic data. This was balanced by risks we saw as somewhat to the downside for Europe, which may face headwinds from stronger currency and higher interest rates as well as by the eventual fading of the rebound of the global industrial cycle.
We believe the fundamentals for Japanese corporations remained strong at the end of the Reporting Period. In particular, we are looking for domestic consumption in Japan to recover on the back of wage increases and a slowdown in its inflation rate. We also continued to believe that corporate reforms proposed by Abenomics, the Japanese Prime Minister’s economic plan, should increase focus on return on equity while improving corporate governance and shareholder value.
We were also constructive on European equities at the end of the Reporting Period though more moderately so. European earnings have benefited from strong economic growth. The euro area recovery gained pace in 2017, with economic growth reaching its strongest level since before the European sovereign debt crisis. Unemployment declined by one percentage point to 8.6%, its lowest level since 2008, and the euro area’s manufacturing purchasing managers index reached an all-time high of 60.6. But firm activity had not boosted inflation, which remained sluggish. Annual headline and core inflation averaged just 1.4% and 1.2%, respectively, over the past decade. At the end of the Reporting Period, we saw no near-term change in this trend due to both cyclical and structural factors. We expect some monetary policy normalization in 2019, but this does not preclude the ECB, in our view, from maintaining its accommodative stance.
Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, our focus remained on seeking alpha opportunities through fundamental, bottom-up security selection. (Alpha, often considered the active return on an investment, gauges the performance of an investment against a market index used as a benchmark, since market indices are often considered to represent the market’s movement as a whole. The excess returns of a fund relative to the return of a benchmark index is the fund’s alpha.) We believe active managers should have the greatest ability to respond to potential changes in the post-monetary world, and value generated through active management may well become an increasingly important contributor to returns. As always, we maintain our focus on seeking companies that we believe will generate long-term growth in today’s ever-changing market conditions.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective after the close of business on February 27, 2018, Goldman Sachs Focused International Equity Fund was re-named Goldman Sachs International Equity ESG Fund (the “Fund”) and its principal investment strategy changed. Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.31%, 3.89%, 4.51%, 4.27%, 4.45% and 4.52%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.41% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 0.14%. This return compares to the 0.22% cumulative total return of the MSCI EAFE Index during the same period. |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund’s strategy during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective after the close of business on February 27, 2018, the Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments of non-U.S. issuers that we believe adhere to the Fund’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria. Such equity investments may include exchange-traded funds, futures and other instruments with similar economic exposures. The Fund intends to have investments economically tied to at least three countries, not including the U.S., and may invest in the securities of issuers in emerging market countries. |
| We use a quantitative and qualitative process to identify, at the time of investment, issuers that satisfy the Fund’s ESG criteria. We evaluate company ESG performance based on fundamental, proprietary research using internal and external data sources as well as engagement with company management. We analyze individual companies, incorporating the Fund’s ESG criteria as part of a fundamental, bottom-up financial analysis. We conduct an analysis of the issuer’s corporate governance factors and a range of environmental and social factors that may vary by sector, alongside traditional fundamental metrics. We engage in active dialogues with company management teams to further inform investment decision-making and to foster best corporate governance practices using its fundamental and ESG analysis. We seek to avoid what we believe to be structurally unattractive market segments, industries that do not meet the Fund’s ESG criteria and particular companies with weak corporate governance that are involved in and/or derive significant revenue from certain industries or product lines, including gambling, adult entertainment, alcohol, tobacco, coal and weapons. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations. The Fund’s investment objective and benchmark did not change. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, attributable primarily to individual stock selection. Country allocation also contributed positively, albeit more modestly. Sector allocation overall detracted slightly during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among the greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were UBM, DBS Group Holdings and Nidec. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| UBM, an out-of-MSCI EAFE Index holding, is a global business-to-business events organizer headquartered in the U.K. In January 2018, Informa made a cash/equity offer to acquire UBM at a 30% premium, which boosted the stock’s performance. UBM shareholders would own a 34.5% stake in the combined entity. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2018. Further, for its fiscal year 2017, UBM posted top-line earnings and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization that beat consensus expectations. Its organic growth was also positive and exceeded consensus expectations. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained optimistic on the stock, trimming opportunistically, as we felt comfortable with the combined entity’s fundamentals and valuation. |
| DBS Group Holdings is a multinational banking and financial services corporation headquartered in Singapore. Its margin expansion and loan growth improved during the Reporting Period, and its stock beat consensus expectations on earnings for the first quarter of 2018 in part due to higher fee income. DBS Group had excess capital, and it distributed that capital as a one-time special dividend during the fourth quarter of 2017. It also announced dividend growth in line with earnings growth. |
| Nidec is a Japanese manufacturer of precision and industrial-use motors. It performed well during the Reporting Period on the back of heightened demand expectations for its assisted driving/electric vehicles-related motors as well as on the faster than market expected progress of the post-merger integration of its recently acquired Emerson Motor-Drive business. In early December 2017, Nidec formed its first joint venture of electric vehicle motors with an automotive manufacturer, PSA Group, which boosted the confidence of the long-term growth trajectory of its electric vehicle motor business and of the future earnings prospects for the company. Led by Europe and China, the drive toward increased automation and energy efficiency has been gaining pace within the transportation and logistics industry, factories and household appliances, which could potentially boost the growth potential for Nidec’s power electronics and medium-sized motors. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among the biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were Bayer, Novo Nordisk and Hoya. |
| German pharmaceutical and life sciences company Bayer was a top detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Early in the Reporting Period, its stock underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index following weaker sales in its pharmaceutical and consumer divisions and on skepticism around the higher special charges related to the Monsanto acquisition. However, the most recent approval of the Monsanto acquisition by the European Union commission gave further impetus to a deal that we believe may well prove to be good for Bayer both financially and strategically in the long term. Additionally, Bayer management’s initial guidance for the calendar year 2018 was disappointing. Most of the news could be attributed to the negative currency impacts and a one-off effect of a manufacturing issue at its German plant following a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company’s management was fully dedicated to addressing these issues diligently and, aside from some temporary supply limitations, this incident should not have a major effect on its mature product pipeline. |
| Novo Nordisk is a multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in Denmark. Novo Nordisk underperformed the broader European Union pharmaceuticals sector following the mid-February 2018 headlines about its oral semaglutide (the first oral treatment for diabetes) phase three trials, a reaction we believe was unwarranted. We believe Novo Nordisk’s share price decline was driven by three major factors. First investor confusion around the statistical analysis used in the headline trial data. Second, a perception that the catalyst has passed. We believe these concerns are unwarranted given that further key oral semaglutide data is due during the second quarter of 2018 that could confirm its profile at the top end of market expectations. Third, currency concerns. After the significant share price decline Novo Nordisk experienced during the Reporting Period and the opportunity we have had to discuss the issues with company management, we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the company should be able to gain market share through its strong franchise and upcoming pipeline. |
| Hoya is a Japanese company that engages in the manufacture and sale of imaging products, electronics and medical-related equipment. Its share price declined due to investor concerns about the business environment for hard disk drive substrate, or underlying layers. However, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Hoya Management’s commitment to increasing shareholder returns, good synergy |

| opportunities from recent acquisitions and increasing focus on its high potential, in our view, life care business segment. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were financials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples, each due primarily to effective stock selection. |
| The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were health care, industrials and energy, each hurt by weak stock selection. Having an overweight to industrials, which lagged the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, and having an underweight to energy, which outpaced the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. Having an allocation to cash during a Reporting Period when the MSCI EAFE Index advanced further dampened relative results. |
Q | | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in a concentrated portfolio or in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
| That said, effective stock selection and effective allocation positioning in the U.K. and Singapore and strong stock selection in New Zealand boosted the Fund’s relative returns most. Conversely, the countries that detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Germany, France and Italy, where stock selection overall hurt. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In changing the Fund’s principal investment strategy effective after the close of business on February 27, 2018, we bought and sold a larger number of stocks during the Reporting Period than the portfolio turnover rate we expect to have in the Fund going forward. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of our bottom-up stock selection process rather than any top-down macroeconomic views or regional, country, sector or industry bets. We seek to outpace the MSCI EAFE Index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector or country weightings 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 industrials, health care, consumer discretionary and financials increased relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, while its relative exposure to energy, information technology and materials decreased. From a country perspective, the Fund’s exposure to the U.K., Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden and Japan increased relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, while its relative exposure to France, Germany, Italy and Australia decreased during the Reporting Period. |
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 named portfolio managers as per the prospectus during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the MSCI EAFE Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to the U.K., France, Ireland, Denmark and New Zealand and less exposure to Switzerland, Japan and the Netherlands relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held a neutral position relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in Singapore, Sweden, Germany, Italy and Spain and held no exposure to the remaining components of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in industrials, health care, consumer discretionary and real estate at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI EAFE Index in energy and financials and was rather neutrally weighted compared to the MSCI EAFE Index in |

| telecommunication services and consumer staples. The Fund had no exposure to the utilities, information technology and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. |
| 2 | | The MSCI® EAFE Index is a market capitalization-weighted composite of securities in 21 developed markets. The MSCI® EAFE Index approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The dividend is reinvested after deduction for withholding tax, applying the rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI® Inc. uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. The MSCI® EAFE Index is unmanaged and the figures for the MSCI® EAFE Index do not include any deduction for fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

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 P 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 applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

Goldman Sachs International Equity Income Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and growth of income.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective after the close of business on February 27, 2018, Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund was re-named Goldman Sachs International Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”) and its investment objective and principal investment strategy were changed. Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 4.14%, 3.78%, 4.35%, 4.28%, 4.00% and 4.31%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.41% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.26%. This return compares to the 0.22% cumulative total return of the MSCI EAFE Index during the same period. |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund’s investment objective and strategy during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective after the close of business on February 27, 2018, the Fund’s investment objective changed from seeking long-term growth of capital to seeking long-term capital appreciation and growth of income. Effective the same date, 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 dividend-paying non-U.S. issuers. Such equity investments may include exchange-traded funds, futures and other instruments with similar economic exposures. The Fund intends to have investments economically tied to at least three countries, not including the U.S., and may invest in the securities of issuers in emerging market countries. The Fund’s investments are selected using a strong valuation discipline to purchase what we believe are well positioned, cash-generating businesses run by shareholder-oriented management team. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations. The Fund’s benchmark did not change. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, attributable primarily to individual stock selection. Country and sector allocation also contributed positively. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among the greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were DBS Group Holdings, UBM and Nidec. |
| DBS Group Holdings is a multinational banking and financial services corporation headquartered in Singapore. Its margin expansion and loan growth improved during the Reporting Period, and its stock beat consensus expectations on earnings for the first quarter of 2018 in part due to higher fee income. DBS Group had excess capital, and it distributed that capital as a one-time special dividend during the fourth quarter of 2017. It also announced dividend growth in line with earnings growth. |
| UBM, an out-of-MSCI EAFE Index holding, is a global business-to-business events organizer headquartered in the U.K. In January 2018, Informa made a cash/equity offer to acquire UBM at a 30% premium, which boosted the stock’s performance. UBM shareholders would own a 34.5% stake in the combined entity. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2018. Further, for its fiscal year 2017, UBM posted top-line earnings and earnings |

| before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization that beat consensus expectations. Its organic growth was also positive and exceeded consensus expectations. |
| Nidec is a Japanese manufacturer of precision and industrial-use motors. It performed well during the Reporting Period on the back of heightened demand expectations for its assisted driving/electric vehicles-related motors as well as on the faster than market expected progress of the post-merger integration of its recently acquired Emerson Motor-Drive business. In early December 2017, Nidec formed its first joint venture of electric vehicle motors with an automotive manufacturer, PSA Group, which boosted the confidence of the long-term growth trajectory of its electric vehicle motor business and of the future earnings prospects for the company. Led by Europe and China, the drive toward increased automation and energy efficiency has been gaining pace within the transportation and logistics industry, factories and household appliances, which could potentially boost the growth potential for Nidec’s power electronics and medium-sized motors. |
| As a result of the Fund’s restructure during the first quarter of 2018, we sold the Fund’s positions in each of these stocks by the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among the biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were Bayer, Novo Nordisk and Hoya. |
| German pharmaceutical and life sciences company Bayer was a top detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Early in the Reporting Period, its stock underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index following weaker sales in its pharmaceutical and consumer divisions and on skepticism around the higher special charges related to the Monsanto acquisition. However, the most recent approval of the Monsanto acquisition by the European Union commission gave further impetus to a deal that we believe may well prove to be good for Bayer both financially and strategically in the long term. Additionally, Bayer management’s initial guidance for the calendar year 2018 was disappointing. Most of the news could be attributed to the negative currency impacts and a one-off effect of a manufacturing issue at its German plant following a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

| Novo Nordisk is a multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in Denmark. Novo Nordisk underperformed the broader European Union pharmaceuticals sector following the mid-February 2018 headlines about its oral semaglutide (the first oral treatment for diabetes) phase three trials, a reaction we believe was unwarranted.

| Hoya is a Japanese company that engages in the manufacture and sale of imaging products, electronics and medical-related equipment. Its share price declined due to investor concerns about the business environment for hard disk drive substrate, or underlying layers. As a result of the Fund’s restructure during the first quarter of 2018, we sold the Fund’s position in Hoya by the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index were financials, industrials and consumer discretionary. Stock selection in all three sectors proved effective during the Reporting Period. |
| The only two sectors to detract from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period were health care and consumer staples, where weak stock selection in each hurt. |
Q | | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |

| Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
| That said, effective stock selection in Singapore and Italy and having overweighted allocations to the U.K. and Italy contributed most positively to the Fund’s results relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. Conversely, the countries that detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance were Belgium, Taiwan and Denmark, where stock selection and allocation positioning overall hurt. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In changing the Fund’s principal investment strategy effective after the close of business on February 27, 2018, we bought and sold a larger number of stocks during the Reporting Period than the portfolio turnover rate we expect to have in the Fund going forward. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of our bottom-up stock selection process rather than any top-down macroeconomic views or regional, country, sector or industry bets. We seek to outpace the MSCI EAFE Index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector or country weightings 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, real estate, telecommunication services, utilities, energy and financials increased relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, while its relative exposure to consumer staples, industrials, information technology, materials and consumer discretionary decreased. From a country perspective, the Fund’s exposure to the U.K., Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden increased relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, while its relative exposure to Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Australia decreased during the Reporting Period. |
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 named portfolio managers as per the prospectus during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the MSCI EAFE Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to the U.K., Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Denmark and Belgium relative to the MSCI EAFE Index and less exposure to Japan, Australia, Germany and France relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held neutral positions relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in Singapore and Sweden and had no exposure to several other components of the MSCI EAFE Index, including Portugal, New Zealand, Austria, Israel, Ireland, Norway, Finland, Hong Kong and Japan. The Fund also held a position in Taiwan, which is not a component of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in health care, real estate, telecommunication services, consumer staples, utilities and energy at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI EAFE Index in consumer discretionary, materials, information technology and industrials and a rather neutral position relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in financials. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

| 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, Investor, Class P, 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 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.

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
As of April 30, 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 percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocations of exchange traded funds and investment companies held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 3.0% of the Fund’s net assets at April 30, 2018. |

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, if any. 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.
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.
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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 a 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 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.

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.

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. 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.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser of the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Funds invest, except those management fees it earns from the Funds’ investments of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2018, GSAM waived $3,226 and $208 of the International Equity ESG and International Equity Income Funds’ management fees, respectively.
B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Funds, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, 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 Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of 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 Service Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates | |
| | Class A* | | | Class C | | | Class R* | | | Service | |
Distribution and/or Service Plan | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.50 | % | | | 0.25 | % |
* | | With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution and Service Plans to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended April 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Front End Sales Charge | | | Contingent Deferred Sales Charge | |
Fund | | | | Class A | | | Class C | |
International Equity ESG | | | | $ | 638 | | | $ | 108 | |
International Equity Income | | | | | 437 | | | | 1 | |
D. Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans to allow Class C and Service Shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and/or shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C or Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, 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 the Funds are 0.014%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, 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.
For the six months ended April 30, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Custody Fee Credits | | | Other Expense Reimbursement | | | Total Expense Reductions | |
International Equity ESG | | | | $ | 95,030 | | | $ | 896 | | | $ | 155,091 | | | $ | 251,017 | |
International Equity Income | | | | | 208 | | | | 233 | | | | 146,072 | | | | 146,513 | |
G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 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 April 30, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund as of and for the six months ended April 30, 2018:

5. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended April 30, 2018, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Purchases | | | Sales and Maturities | |
International Equity ESG | | | | $ | 26,917,780 | | | $ | 31,803,217 | |
International Equity Income | | | | | 43,473,383 | | | | 46,359,228 | |
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the 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 Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“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, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds 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 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 received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of April 30, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Each of the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

The following table provides information about the Funds’ investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended April 30, 2018:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Beginning Value as of October 31, 2017 | | | Purchases at Cost | | | Proceeds from Sales | | | Ending Value as of April 30, 2018 | |

As of April 30, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Equity ESG | | | International Equity Income | |
Tax cost | | $ | 183,236,534 | | | $ | 62,682,404 | |

Net unrealized gain (loss) | | $ | 4,936,370 | | | $ | (468,337 | ) |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences related to the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
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 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 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 a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If a 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 a Fund’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 a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund 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.
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.
Issuer Concentration Risk — The Funds may invest in a relatively small number of issuers. As a result, they may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers. A change in the value of any single investment held by the Funds may affect the overall value of the Funds more than it would affect a mutual fund that holds more investments. In particular, the Funds may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer in the Funds and may be susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
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

|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) 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 P, Class R and 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 November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 14 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018 for purposes of comparability. The projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fee 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.

Enhancements Made to Proprietary Quantitative Model during the Six-Month Period Ended April 30, 2018
We continuously look for ways to improve our investment process. Accordingly, we introduced a number of enhancements to our proprietary quantitative model during the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
We introduced a new signal within our Profitability theme that aims to predict the profitability of non-U.S. developed markets companies by mapping U.S. consumer spending data in various segments to non-U.S. companies engaged in these business segments, as our research has shown that consumer behavior across developed markets tend to be correlated. We also introduced a new signal within our Momentum theme that helps us create economic links between companies with similar businesses. The signal identifies companies linked by a common theme based on company descriptions. In addition, we introduced an Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) signal within our Management theme that helps us quantify reputational risk. The signal, which was introduced in all investment regions except Canada, looks at ESG risk events to form a view of the peak risk of a given company from an ESG perspective.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs International Equity
Insights Funds
Market Review
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), emerging markets equities and international equities produced positive returns, with emerging markets equities generally outperforming international equities.
Emerging Markets Equities
Emerging markets equities advanced during the Reporting Period, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Standard Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EM Index”) generating a return of 4.80%.*
As the Reporting Period began in November 2017, a robust third calendar quarter corporate earnings reporting season was a positive driver for emerging markets equities, despite a pullback from a global technology sell-off. A weaker U.S. dollar and commodities strength also helped emerging markets equities close out calendar year 2017 with a healthy total return. In December 2017, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) delivered its third interest rate hike of 2017, as had been widely expected, and maintained its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018.
Emerging markets equities endured a rather volatile first three months of 2018 to post positive returns for a fifth consecutive quarter. The new calendar year began strongly, with emerging markets equities outperforming developed markets equities in January 2018, buoyed by a strong global economic backdrop, rising oil prices and a softer U.S. dollar. Latin American equities were the strongest performers, led by Brazil, while Asian equities were largely driven by a notable rally in Chinese equities. In February 2018, however, the MSCI EM Index lost 4.61%, as equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes by the Fed, which stoked a sharp rise in bond yields and in equity market volatility. Concerns about monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. labor and inflation data. While the hawkish Fed minutes released were largely expected, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Congressional testimony surprised markets with its hawkish tilt, sparking another sell-off. (Hawkish language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) In March 2018, a global equity market sell-off was driven by escalating concerns about trade relations with the U.S., as the current Administration’s announcement of a 25% tariff on an estimated $50 billion of Chinese imports weighed on investor sentiment broadly. The Fed delivered on a consensus-expected interest rate increase in March, with its projections continuing to point to three interest rate hikes in the 2018 calendar year.
April 2018 saw volatility continue, driven by trade headlines around the U.S. and China, rising U.S. Treasury yields and increased focus on the information technology sector given ongoing discussion about the regulatory environment. Investor concern also increased due to rising geopolitical risks surrounding North Korea and Syria as well as by the announcement of additional U.S. sanctions on Russia. The MSCI EM Index posted a modest decline for the month.
For the Reporting Period as a whole, health care and energy were the best performing sectors in the MSCI EM Index by some distance, followed by materials and financials, which also posted robust positive returns. Consumer discretionary was the weakest sector in the MSCI EM Index and the only one to post a negative absolute return during the Reporting Period. Information technology, telecommunication services and real estate were also weak performers but eked out modestly positive absolute returns for the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW
From a country perspective, Columbia, Greece, Peru, Qatar, Malaysia and Thailand were the best performing individual constituents of the MSCI EM Index, each posting double-digit absolute gains for the Reporting Period. Conversely, Turkey, the Philippines, United Arab Emirates, Poland and Indonesia were the weakest individual country constituents of the MSCI EM Index, each posting negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period.
International Equities
International equities recorded a positive return during the Reporting Period, with the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (“EAFE”) Standard Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) posting a gain of 3.41%.*
In November and December 2017, the first two months of the Reporting Period, international equity market returns were relatively muted, particularly amongst larger companies. The U.K., however, performed better than many other developed markets. Although the U.K. Prime Minister suffered a defeat in the House of Commons over the European Union Withdrawal Bill in December 2017, the U.K. was judged by the European Union to have made sufficient progress on key issues to allow the next phase of Brexit negotiations — including discussions on trade — to begin. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to leave the European Union.) Elsewhere, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) upgraded its growth forecasts for the Eurozone’s economy, though optimism was tempered by lackluster inflation. The German and French equity markets declined for the month of December. The Bank of Japan’s (“BoJ”) quarterly Tankan survey of business sentiment showed that confidence improved, boosted by strengthening export activity, and the Japanese equity market eked out a modest gain for December 2017. That same month, the U.S. Fed made its third interest rate hike of 2017, as investors had widely expected, and reaffirmed its projections for three additional interest rate hikes in 2018.
International equities enjoyed a strong start to 2018, driven by market exuberance about strong economic data, the $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform law passed by Congress in December 2017 and the favorable start to the corporate earnings reporting season. In February 2018, however, equities sold off globally on market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes by the Fed, which stoked a sharp rise in bond yields and in equity market volatility. Concerns about monetary policy tightening were further exacerbated by solid U.S. labor and inflation data. While the hawkish Fed minutes released were largely expected, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Congressional testimony surprised markets with its hawkish tilt, sparking another sell-off. In March 2018, escalating trade tensions and tariffs weighed on investor sentiment and on global equity market performance. Political uncertainty in Germany and Italy and signs of slowing economic growth in Europe dampened investor sentiment as well. Meanwhile, the Fed delivered on a consensus-expected interest rate increase in March, with its projections continuing to point to three interest rate hikes in the 2018 calendar year. In Europe, an agreement on a 21-month transition after Brexit between the U.K. and the European Union reduced political uncertainty.
The international equity markets posted a modestly positive return in April 2018, but remained relatively muted for the month, as the U.S. and China generated trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty stemming from sanctions on Russia surfaced. The ECB and BoJ kept their respective monetary policies unchanged in April, indicating ongoing monetary policy accommodation.

MARKET REVIEW
For the Reporting Period as a whole, energy was the best performing sector in the MSCI EAFE Index by some distance, followed by consumer discretionary and real estate. The weakest performing sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were telecommunication services, consumer staples and industrials.
From a country perspective, Singapore, Finland and Italy were the best performing individual constituents of the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. Sweden, Belgium and Denmark were the weakest individual country constituents in the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period.
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe that less expensive stocks should outpace more expensive stocks. In addition, we expected stocks with good momentum to outperform those with poor momentum. We plan to focus on seeking companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive as well as profitable companies with what we view as sustainable earnings and a track record of using their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested, with long-term performance likely to be the result of stock selection rather than sector or capitalization allocations.
We stand behind our investment philosophy that sound economic investment principles, coupled with a disciplined quantitative approach, can provide strong, uncorrelated returns over the long term. Our research agenda is robust, and we continue to enhance our existing models, add new proprietary forecasting signals and improve our trading execution as we seek to provide the most value to our shareholders.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 3.20%, 2.85%, 3.32%, 3.38%, 3.06% and 3.44%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.80% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Standard Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.65% compared to the 0.15% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | We use two distinct strategies — a bottom-up stock selection strategy and a top-down country/currency selection strategy — to manage the Fund. These strategies are uncorrelated, that is, they tend to perform independently of each other over time, which enables us to greater diversify the portfolio. During the Reporting Period, our stock selection strategy, which uses fundamental research and stock selection models based on six investment themes, contributed positively to relative performance. However, the Fund underperformed the Index, largely because of certain individual stock positions. The impact of our country/currency selection strategy was rather neutral during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which investment themes helped and which hurt within the Team’s stock selection strategy? |
A | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of our model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of our theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, all six of our investment themes added to the Fund’s relative returns. Momentum was our best performing theme. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. Sentiment, Valuation, Quality, Profitability and Management also contributed positively. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative results? |
A | In constructing the portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, |
6
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative returns. |
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, certain individual stock positions detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. These detractors included holdings in the energy, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. Conversely, the Fund benefited from investments in the real estate, information technology and financials sectors. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hampered during the Reporting Period by its overweight positions in CCR, a Brazil-based transportation company; Guangzhou Automobile Group, a China-based automaker; and Tupras Turkiye Petrol Rafinerileri (“Tupras”), which is Turkey’s only oil refiner. The overweight in CCR was the result of our positive views on Valuation and Momentum. We assumed the overweight in Guangzhou Automobile Group due to our positive views on Momentum and Quality. The Fund’s overweight in Tupras was based on our positive views on Momentum and Management. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was helped by overweights compared to the Index in Empresa Colombiana Petroleos, Colombia’s state-owned oil company; Tata Consultancy Services, an India-based provider of information technology services, consulting and business solutions; and Wal-Mart de Mexico, the U.S. retailer’s Mexico-based division. Our positive views on Momentum and Profitability led us to overweight Empresa Colombiana Petroleos, while the overweight in Tata Consultancy Services was due to our positive views on Momentum and Management. We chose to overweight Wal-Mart de Mexico because of our positive views on Sentiment and Quality. |
Q | | What impact did the Team’s country/currency selection strategy have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | Our country/currency strategy had a rather neutral impact on the Fund’s relative returns. During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from its overweight compared to the Index in Russia and its underweights in Chile and the Philippines. It was hindered by overweights in Turkey and Hungary as well as by an underweight in South Africa. |
| We made our picks using our proprietary models, which, during the Reporting Period, were based on three investment themes specific to our country/currency strategy — Valuation, Risk Premium and Macro. Valuation favors equity and currency markets that appear cheap relative to accounting measures of value and purchasing power. Risk Premium evaluates whether a country is overcompensating investors for various types of risk. Macro assesses a market’s macroeconomic environment and growth prospects. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we shifted the Fund from an underweight position relative to the Index in Thailand to an overweight position. We increased the Fund’s overweight in India and its underweight in Malaysia. In addition, we moved the Fund from an overweight in Brazil to an underweight position compared to the Index. |
Q | | What were the Fund’s sector and country weightings at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the materials, real estate, health care, energy and information technology sectors. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the telecommunication |

| services, financials, consumer discretionary, utilities, industrials and consumer staples sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| In terms of countries, the Fund was overweight India, Thailand, Russia and Mexico relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight Taiwan, Brazil and Malaysia. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in Colombia, China, Poland, South Korea, Pakistan, Hungary, Egypt, Indonesia, Czech Republic, Greece, South Africa, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Peru, Qatar, Chile and the Philippines at the end of the Reporting Period. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS7 |
As of April 30, 2018 |
| 7 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocations of exchange traded funds and investment companies held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 2.5% of the Fund’s net assets at April 30, 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 Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 2.74%, 2.30%, 2.90%, 2.56%, 2.85%, 2.58% and 2.91%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.41% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Standard Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.44% compared to the 0.22% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | We use two distinct strategies — a bottom-up stock selection strategy and a top-down country/currency selection strategy — to manage the Fund. These strategies are uncorrelated, that is, they tend to perform independently of each other over time, which enables us to greater diversify the portfolio. Our bottom-up stock selection strategy, which uses fundamental research and stock selection models based on six investment themes, added to relative performance during the Reporting Period. Our country/currency selection strategy also contributed positively. However, the Fund underperformed the Index largely because of certain individual stock positions. |
Q | | Which investment themes helped and which hurt within the Team’s stock selection strategy? |
A | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of our model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of our theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, three of our six investment themes–Momentum, Sentiment and Quality–enhanced the Fund’s relative returns. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. |
| Our Profitability theme detracted from relative performance during the Reporting Period. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
| The impact of our Management and Valuation themes was rather neutral during the Reporting Period. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative results? |
A | In constructing the portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative returns. |
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, certain individual stock positions detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Investments in the industrials, health care and information technology sectors had a negative impact on results. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from stock selection in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary and financials sectors. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hurt by overweights compared to the Index in Air France-KLM, a French-Dutch airline holding company; Fujitsu, a Japan-based information technology equipment and services company; and Aixtron, a Germany-based semiconductor manufacturing equipment maker. We decided to overweight Air France-KLM based on our positive views on Valuation and Quality. The overweight in Fujitsu was due to our positive views on Valuation and Momentum, while our positive views on Sentiment and Profitability led to the Fund’s overweight in Aixtron. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was helped by overweight positions in petroleum company Idemitsu Kosan and personal care company Shiseido, both Japan-based firms. Our positive views on Momentum and Valuation resulted in the Fund’s overweight in Idemitsu Kosan. The overweight in Shisedo was due to our positive views on Momentum and Sentiment. The Fund’s underweight in U.K.-based British American Tobacco, assumed because of our negative views on Momentum and Management, also contributed positively to relative performance. |
Q | | What impact did the Team’s country/currency selection strategy have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | Our country/currency selection strategy added to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. The Fund benefited from an overweight position compared to the Index in Italy and underweight positions in Switzerland and Belgium. Detracting from Fund performance were underweights in Finland and Sweden. An overweight in Spain also detracted from results. |
| We made our picks using our proprietary models, which, during the Reporting Period, were based on five investment themes specific to our country/currency strategy — Valuation, Momentum, Risk Premium, Fund Flows and Macro. Valuation favors equity and currency markets that appear cheap relative to accounting measures of value and purchasing power. Momentum favors countries and currencies that have had strong recent outperformance. Risk Premium evaluates whether a country is overcompensating investors for various types of risk, while Fund Flows evaluates the strength of capital market inflows. Finally, Macro assesses a market’s macroeconomic environment and growth prospects. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we moved the Fund from rather neutral positions to overweight positions compared to the Index in Japan and Sweden. We also increased the Fund’s overweight in Spain. We moderated the Fund’s underweights in France, Germany and the U.K. In addition, we shifted the |

| Fund from overweight to underweight positions versus the Index in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Netherlands during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What were the Fund’s sector and country weightings at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the energy, consumer discretionary, information technology and materials sectors. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the consumer staples, industrials, telecommunication services, utilities and real estate sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the financials and health care sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| In terms of countries, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in Hong Kong, Australia, Spain, Norway, Singapore and Italy. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight in France, Germany, the U.K. and Switzerland. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, New Zealand, Ireland and Israel at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 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 and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.33%, 3.91%, 4.54%, 4.40% and 4.47%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.96% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
| From their inception on April 16, 2018 through the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.99% compared to the -0.51% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, three of our quantitative model’s six investment themes added to relative performance. However, the Fund underperformed the Index largely because of certain individual stock positions. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of our model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of our theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, three of our six investment themes added to the Fund’s relative results. Sentiment was our best performing theme. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. Momentum and Valuation also contributed positively. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. |
| The Profitability theme, which assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital, detracted from relative performance during the Reporting Period. |
| The impact of our Quality and Management themes was rather neutral during the Reporting Period. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative results? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |

Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Momentum characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, certain individual stock positions detracted from relative returns, led by holdings in the information technology, industrials and health care sectors. The Fund was helped by security selection in the energy, materials and financials sectors. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hurt by overweights relative to the Index in Dialog Semiconductor, Air France-KLM and Subsea 7. We decided to overweight U.K.-based manufacturer Dialog Semiconductor and French-Dutch airline holding company Air France-KLM because of our positive views on Valuation and Quality. Our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment led us to overweight Subsea 7, a U.K.-headquartered subsea engineering, construction and services company serving the offshore energy industry. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund benefited from overweight positions in DNO, a Norwegian oil and gas operator; Moncler, an Italian apparel manufacturer; and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum, a specialty biopharmaceutical company. We adopted all three overweights because of our positive views on Momentum and Sentiment. |
Q | | What impact did country selection have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | To construct the portfolio, we focus on security selection rather than on making country bets. As a result, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its country allocation; changes in its country weightings are generally the result of our stock picking. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we moved the Fund from an underweight to a slightly overweight position relative to the Index in Sweden. We increased the Fund’s overweights in Denmark and Germany. In addition, we shifted the Fund from overweight to underweight positions compared to the Index in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. |
Q | | What were the Fund’s sector and country weightings at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the health care, energy, information technology and materials sectors. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the real estate, industrials, utilities and financials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| In terms of countries, the Fund was overweight Norway, Germany, Australia and Denmark relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the U.K., France and Ireland. It was relatively neutral compared to the Index in Spain, Japan, Portugal, Finland, Switzerland, Singapore, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Israel, Austria, Hong Kong and Sweden at the end of the Reporting Period. |

FUND BASICS

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS7 |
As of April 30, 2018 |
| 7 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocations of exchange traded funds and investment companies held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 1.4% of the Fund’s net assets at April 30, 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements

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:
| | | | |

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, if any. 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.
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), 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.
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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 a 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 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.

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
57

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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.
Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A 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. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds 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 Funds, 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 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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Funds, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act.

The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C or Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares. Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.05% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net

assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares of the International Equity Insights Fund through at least February, 28, 2019, and prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Board of Trustees. Prior to February 28, 2018, the transfer agency waiver was 0.03% for Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares of the Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, 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 Emerging Markets Equity Insights, International Equity Insights and International Small Cap Insights Funds are 0.054%, 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively. Prior to February 28, 2018, the Other Expense limitation was 0.114% for the Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and through at least April 16, 2019 for Class P Shares, and prior to such dates 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.
For the six months ended April 30, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 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 April 30, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs earned $1,836 and $879 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the International Equity Insights Fund and International Small Cap Insights Fund, respectively.

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan.

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 Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive 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, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds 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 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 received. The amounts of the Funds’ overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of April 30, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Each of the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

As of April 30, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Emerging Markets Equity Insights | | | International Equity Insights | | | International Small Cap Insights | |
Tax cost | | $ | 1,883,534,170 | | | $ | 2,070,796,722 | | | $ | 2,994,378,409 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 291,323,189 | | | | 170,898,119 | | | | 433,984,402 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (49,946,489 | ) | | | (53,983,178 | ) | | | (96,294,883 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | $ | 241,376,700 | | | $ | 116,914,941 | | | $ | 337,689,519 | |
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 and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ 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 Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign 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 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 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 a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Foreign Custody Risk — If a 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 a Fund’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.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, 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.
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 INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) 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 P, Class R and 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 November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through April 30, 2018, which represents a period of 14 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
