MARKET REVIEW

Market Review
The capital markets were influenced most during the six months ended June 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”) by economic data, central bank monetary policy, higher commodity prices and geopolitical events.
In the first quarter of 2018, when the Reporting Period began, 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 consensus 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 Federal Reserve (“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. (Dovish tends to imply lower interest rates.) The U.S. dollar weakened relative to other major developed markets currencies during the first calendar quarter.
During the second quarter of 2018, developed markets equities generated positive returns, while emerging markets equities experienced broad-based weakness. Two major themes were at play: 1) divergence between U.S. economic growth compared to that of the rest of the world, and 2) continued escalation of trade tensions. Within developed markets, U.S., U.K., European and Japanese equities rallied. U.K. export-driven stocks, in particular, benefited strongly from the depreciation of the British pound versus other major currencies. Meanwhile, emerging markets equities substantially underperformed developed markets stocks, as emerging markets’ economic growth slowed and disputes between the U.S. and China about trade tariffs soured investors’ appetite for emerging markets assets in general. Broad-based selling within the global equity markets also contributed to the weakness of emerging markets stocks. Within fixed income, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose, as U.S. macroeconomic data remained relatively strong, inflation increased and oil prices rose. The U.S. dollar strengthened against major currencies, driven by comparatively better U.S. economic growth and tighter Fed monetary policy. The Mexican peso and euro were among those currencies experiencing some of the largest drops versus the U.S. dollar. Weakening appetite for emerging markets assets and the looming Mexican presidential election weighed on the Mexican peso, while slower Eurozone economic growth and a dovish European Central Bank pressured the euro. Meanwhile, moderating global economic growth and escalating trade tensions weighed on the prices of metals, such as copper, and the stronger U.S. dollar pushed down gold prices.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we emphasized three macro themes. First, we expect to see divergence in the global economic expansion, with the U.S. and Japanese economies likely to surprise to the upside and European and Chinese economies more at risk. Second, we believe that shorter-term yields, which experienced a sharp rise in early 2018, may well be comparatively stable in the near term. Third, we think that, in the short term, the capital markets may experience temporary bouts of volatility. Accordingly, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the investing 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 continued economic expansion overall, corporate earnings growth and inexpensive valuations relative to macroeconomic conditions, though we believe valuations are likely to remain high in absolute terms. Regarding fixed income, we were bearish on government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period, as the Fed is likely, in our view, to raise interest rates faster than the markets seem to expect. At the end of the Reporting Period, we thought credit spreads were at reasonable levels relative to macroeconomic conditions. However, we plan to monitor them because we believe the corporate bond market may be approaching the point in the economic cycle when credit spreads historically start to widen. (Credit spreads are yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity.) At the end of the Reporting Period, we were bullish on emerging markets assets overall for the medium term. Emerging economies outside of China are generally earlier in their economic cycle than developed market economies, which enables us to remain confident about a widening gap between the economic growth trajectories of emerging and developed markets. However, given the rise in market volatility during the Reporting Period and the increased frequency of political shocks, we have become more cautious about the performance of emerging markets assets for the near term.

What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’
Approach to Asset Allocation?
We believe that strong investment results through asset allocation are best achieved through teams of experts working together on a global scale:
∎ | | Goldman Sachs’ Global Portfolio Solutions Group determines the strategic and tactical asset allocations. The team is comprised of over 135* professionals with significant academic and practitioner experience. |
∎ | | Goldman Sachs’ Portfolio Management Teams offer expert management of the mutual funds that are contained within each Portfolio. These same teams manage portfolios for institutional and high net worth investors. |
Goldman Sachs Asset Allocation Investment Process
Global Portfolio Solutions Group
Each Portfolio represents a diversified global portfolio on the efficient frontier.† The Portfolios differ in their long-term objective, and therefore, their asset allocation mix. The long-term strategic asset allocation is the primary source of risk and the corresponding primary determinant of total return. It therefore represents an anchor, or neutral starting point, from which tactical asset allocation decisions are made.
Global Portfolio Solutions Group
For each Portfolio, the long-term strategic asset allocation is adjusted through a tactical investment process that seeks to react to and capitalize on changes in the market, the economic cycle, and macroeconomic environment. Within each strategy, we shift assets away from the strategic allocation by over and underweighting certain asset classes and by taking long or short positions in specific sectors, regions and countries. Using a proprietary fundamental analysis and portfolio construction process, the team develops views based on its current market and economic outlook across asset classes like global developed equity, emerging market equity, investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income, and currency markets.
†Portfolios | | on the efficient frontier are optimal in both the sense that they offer maximal expected return for some given level of risk and minimal risk for some given level of expected return. The efficient frontier is the line created from the risk-reward graph, comprised of optimal portfolios. The optimal portfolios plotted along the curve have the highest expected return possible for the given amount of risk. |

GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Portfolio Management Teams
Each Portfolio is predominantly comprised of underlying Goldman Sachs funds managed by broad, deep portfolio management teams. In addition to global tactical asset allocation, we seek to generate excess returns through security selection within each underlying fund. Whether in the equity or fixed income arenas, these portfolio management teams share a commitment to firsthand fundamental research and seek performance driven by successful security selection.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team discusses the performance and positioning of the Goldman Sachs Fund of Funds Portfolios — Asset Allocation (the “Portfolios”) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Portfolios perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio — During the Reporting Period, the Balanced Strategy Portfolio’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns of -2.26%, -2.70%, -2.08%, -2.38%, -2.15%, -2.30% and -2.07%, respectively. This compares to the -0.13% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, which is composed 60% of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, Hedged) (“Bloomberg Barclays Global Index”) and 40% of the MSCI All Country World Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (“MSCI ACWI Index”), during the same period. |
| The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Index and the MSCI ACWI Index, generated cumulative total returns of 0.07% and -0.43%, respectively, during the Reporting Period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -2.23% compared to the 0.17% cumulative total return of the blended benchmark. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Index and the MSCI ACWI Index, generated cumulative total returns of 0.56% and -0.42%, respectively, during the same period. |
| Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio — During the Reporting Period, the Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns of -0.58%, -0.94%, -0.37%, -0.64%, -0.48%, -0.70% and -0.37%, respectively. This compares to the -0.43% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index, during the same period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -2.32% compared to the -0.42% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s benchmark. |
| Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio — During the Reporting Period, the Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns of -1.81%, -2.16%, -1.62%, -1.80%, -1.62%, -1.88% and -1.61%, respectively. This compares to the -0.23% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, which is composed 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Index and 60% of the MSCI ACWI Index, during the same period. |

The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Index and the MSCI ACWI Index, generated cumulative total returns of 0.23% and -1.57%, respectively, during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Portfolios’ performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolios seek to achieve their respective investment objectives by investing mainly in a combination of underlying funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). Some of the Portfolios’ Underlying Funds invest primarily in fixed income or money market instruments (the “Underlying Fixed Income Funds”); some of the underlying funds invest primarily in equity securities (the “Underlying Equity Funds”); and other underlying funds invest dynamically across equity, fixed income, commodity and other markets through a managed-volatility or trend-following approach (the “Underlying Dynamic Funds”). |
| Performance is driven by four sources of return: long-term strategic asset allocation, medium-term cycle-aware allocation, short-term tactical allocation and excess returns from investments in Underlying Funds. Strategic asset allocation is the process by which we seek to budget or allocate portfolio risk, as opposed to capital, across a set of asset allocation risk factors, including but not limited to, equity, interest rate, emerging markets, credit, momentum and active risk. The resulting strategic asset allocations are implemented using a range of bottom-up security selection strategies across equity, fixed income and dynamic asset classes, which may utilize fundamental or quantitative investment techniques. We then incorporate our medium-term cycle-aware views and short-term tactical views into the Portfolios in order to react to changes in the economic cycle and the markets, respectively. Each Portfolio’s positioning may therefore change over time based on medium- and short-term market views on dislocations and attractive investment opportunities. These views may impact the relative weighting across asset classes, the allocation to geographies, sectors and industries as well as the Portfolios’ duration and sensitivity to inflation. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) |
| During the Reporting Period, the Portfolios generated negative returns on an absolute basis, with those having greater equity exposure producing less negative results. In addition, all four Portfolios generally underperformed their respective benchmark indices.* Overall, our medium-term cycle-aware views and short-term tactical decisions detracted from performance. The contribution from strategic asset allocation was mixed as was security selection within the Underlying Funds. |
| Our medium-term cycle-aware views detracted from the returns of all four Portfolios during the Reporting Period. Within equities, our view that the Portfolios should hold long positions in emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities hurt performance, as emerging market equities struggled on the back of a stronger U.S. dollar, higher U.S. interest rates and concerns around global trade policies. Within fixed income, we held the view that the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio should each have a short duration bias, which was expressed through a short position in long-maturity German government bonds and short positions in specific segments of the U.S. Treasury yield curve. (Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities. The Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio did not adopt any of our fixed income views as it is an all-equity portfolio.) The short position in long-maturity German government bonds added to the Portfolios’ performance early in the Reporting Period due to hawkish commentary from Germany’s central bank, but it detracted during the second |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| half of the Reporting Period as Germany’s long-term interest rates fell in response to slower European economic growth, dovish European Central Bank monetary policy and political risk in Italy. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.). A short position in the two-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve contributed positively, partially offsetting these negative results. Elsewhere within fixed income, the Portfolios were hampered by their exposure to local emerging markets debt versus U.S. high yield corporate bonds. We established this positioning based on our view that credit spreads, which typically start to widen before an equity market peak, would be a headwind for U.S. high yield corporate bonds in the near term. (Credit spreads are yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity.) However, U.S. high yield corporate bonds outperformed local emerging markets debt during the Reporting Period, which hurt the Portfolios’ returns. |
| Our short-term tactical views, which seek to take advantage of what we consider short-term market mispricing, detracted overall from the performance of all four Portfolios. In terms of our country-specific views, however, the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio experienced some positive results. Our view to hold long positions in certain developed markets stocks, including U.S. and Singaporean equities, and short positions in certain emerging markets stocks, such as South African and Mexican equities, added to the Portfolio’s performance. This was offset somewhat by the Portfolio’s long positions in emerging markets equities, which detracted, as emerging markets assets were broadly challenged during the second half of the Reporting Period. |
| The impact of security selection within the Underlying Funds was mixed during the Reporting Period. Security selection detracted from the returns of the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio but was the primary positive contributor to the performance of the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio because of their relatively higher proportion of equity assets. |
| Our long-term, strategic asset allocation also had mixed results. While strategic asset allocation bolstered returns in the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, it detracted from the performance of the other three Portfolios during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Portfolios’ Underlying Funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period? |
A | Among Underlying Fixed Income Funds, the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund underperformed its benchmark index most during the Reporting Period. The Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund and the Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund also lagged their respective benchmark indices. Among Underlying Equity Funds, the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF and the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund underperformed their respective benchmark indices. The Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund outperformed its benchmark index. Among Underlying Funds that invest in real assets, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund outperformed its benchmark index and the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund underperformed its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Portfolios use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolios used derivatives primarily to express medium-term cycle-aware views across equities and fixed income. The Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio was the only Portfolio to use derivatives to express our short-term tactical views across developed and emerging markets equities. The Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio used a single implementation vehicle to express our short-term tactical views — the Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund (the “Underlying Tactical Fund”). |
| Within equities, the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio employed equity index futures to establish tactical short positions in Australian equities and U.K. large cap equities (both had a negative impact) and in Mexican equities and South African equities (both had a positive impact). In addition, the Portfolios used equity index futures to establish a tactical long position in Singaporean equities (positive impact) and tactical long positions in emerging markets equities broadly, European high-dividend equities, Chinese onshore-listed equities, South Korean equities and Japanese equities (all four had a negative impact). The Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio also employed equity index |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| options on U.S. equities (positive impact), European equities (negative impact) and Japanese equities (positive impact). |
| Within fixed income, the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio used interest rate futures to express our medium-term cycle-aware views on the U.S. Treasury yield curve (positive impact) and on long-term German interest rates (negative impact). (The Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio did not adopt any of our fixed income views as it is an all-equity portfolio.) |
| During the Reporting Period overall, some of the Portfolios’ Underlying Funds, including the Underlying Tactical Fund, used derivatives to apply their active investment views with greater versatility and potentially to afford greater risk management precision. As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, some of these Underlying Funds engaged in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts, options, swap contracts and structured securities to attempt to enhance portfolio return and for hedging purposes. |
Q | | What changes did you make during the Reporting Period within the Portfolios? |
A | In May 2018, we made changes to the strategic allocations of three of the four Portfolios — the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio. Specifically, we added strategic allocations to the Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF and the Goldman Sachs Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF. Additionally, we added strategic allocations to a volatility selling strategy. (Our volatility selling strategy 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.) In addition, we implemented a foreign currency hedging strategy, which seeks to manage the risk associated with investing in non-U.S. currencies. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Portfolios’ portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | Effective June 21, 2018, Edward J. Tostanoski III no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Portfolios. By design, all investment decisions for the Portfolios are performed within a co-lead or team structure, with multiple subject matter experts. This strategic decision making has been the cornerstone of our approach and ensures continuity in the Portfolios. At the end of the Reporting Period, the portfolio managers for the Portfolios were Raymond Chan and Christopher Lvoff. |

| 5 | | Strategic allocation is the process of determining the areas of the global markets in which to invest, and in what long-term proportion, for each underlying fund. Our global approach attempts to generate strong long-term returns across geographies and asset classes, and is determined through a careful review of market opportunities and risk/return tradeoffs. On a monthly basis or as needed, we shift assets around the strategic allocation, over and under-weighting asset classes and countries relative to the neutral starting point, seeking to benefit from changing short-term conditions in global capital markets. This is called tactical asset allocation. |
| 6 | | Generally, tactical fund weightings are rebalanced approximately monthly, but they may be rebalanced more or less frequently at the discretion of the Investment Adviser based on the market environment and its macro views. The weightings in the chart above reflect the allocations as of June 30, 2018. Actual Fund weighting in the Portfolio may differ from the figures shown above due to rounding, differences in returns of the Underlying Funds, or both. The above figures are not indicative of future allocations. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team discusses the performance and positioning of the Goldman Sachs Fund of Funds Portfolios — Satellite Strategies (the “Portfolio”) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns of -3.81%, -4.08%, -3.64%, -3.75%, -3.71%, -3.83% and -3.51%, respectively. This compares to the -0.60% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, which is composed 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Index”), 30% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500® Index”) and 30% of the MSCI EAFE Net Total Return Index (the “MSCI EAFE Index”), during the same period. |
| | The components of the blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Index, the S&P 500® Index and the MSCI EAFE Index, generated cumulative total returns of -1.62%, 2.65% and -3.36%, respectively, during the same period. The Portfolio’s former benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), returned -2.37% during the same period. |
| | For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -3.33% compared to the -0.84% cumulative total return of the blended benchmark. The components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Index, the S&P 500® Index and the MSCI EAFE Index, generated cumulative total returns of -0.06%, 0.85% and -3.36%, respectively, during the same period. The MSCI EAFE Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), returned -2.37% during the same period. |
Q | | How did the various satellite asset classes perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, satellite asset classes generated mixed results, with some posting positive absolute returns and others recording negative absolute returns. In addition, certain satellite asset classes outpaced traditional equity and fixed income asset classes, while others underperformed them. |
| | Among real assets, global real estate securities, as represented by the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index, produced a positive return of 0.53% during the Reporting Period. High demand and strong retail sales helped boost the performance of real estate investment trusts. Global real estate securities also outperformed international stocks, which returned -2.37%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, but they underperformed U.S. stocks, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, which returned 2.65% during the Reporting Period. Meanwhile, global infrastructure securities underperformed U.S. stocks, returning -0.82%, as measured by the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index. Global infrastructure securities, which many investors consider proxies for fixed income because of their relatively high dividend yields, struggled during the Reporting Period as U.S. interest rates increased. |
| | Among equity satellite asset classes, emerging markets stocks turned in the weakest results of the Reporting Period, returning -6.67%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The negative performance was driven by a stronger U.S. dollar, prospects of a continued rise in U.S. interest rates and concerns around trade protectionism. These factors also had an adverse impact on international small-cap equities, which returned -1.33% during the Reporting Period, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. Furthermore, while international small-cap stocks outperformed international large-cap stocks during the Reporting Period, they trailed U.S. large-cap stocks amid divergence between U.S. economic growth and that of the rest of the world. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Among fixed income satellite asset classes, U.S. high yield corporate bonds and leveraged loans outpaced the broad U.S. fixed income market, which generated -1.62%, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Index, during the Reporting Period. High yield corporate bonds were up 0.16% during the Reporting Period, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index. Leveraged loans, as represented by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, produced a gain of 2.38% during the Reporting Period. Leveraged loans tend to perform well in rising interest rate environments because they are floating rate securities and their coupon rates reset regularly to reflect current interest rates. On the negative side, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index — Global Diversified Index, and local emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets Global Diversified Index, were down -5.23% and -6.44%, respectively, during the Reporting Period. Concerns about trade protectionism and a stronger U.S. dollar weighed on both of these satellite asset classes. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing mainly in a combination of underlying funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). Some of the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds invest primarily in fixed income or money market instruments (the “Underlying Fixed Income Funds”), and some of the Underlying Funds invest primarily in equity securities (the “Underlying Equity Funds”). |
| | The Portfolio’s performance is driven by four sources of return: long-term strategic asset allocation, medium-term cycle-aware allocation, short-term tactical allocation and excess returns from investments in Underlying Funds. Strategic asset allocation is the process by which we seek to budget or allocate portfolio risk, as opposed to capital, across a set of asset allocation risk factors, including but not limited to, equity, interest rate, emerging markets, credit, momentum and active risk. We apply a factor-based risk budgeting approach to develop a strategic allocation across the satellite asset classes included in the Portfolio. Our model focuses on broad asset classes, such as emerging markets, high yield credit and real assets. We then incorporate our medium-term cycle-aware views into the Portfolio in order to react to changes in the economic cycle. The Portfolio’s positioning may therefore change over time based on our medium-term cycle-aware views of attractive investment opportunities. These views may impact relative weighting across asset classes, the allocation to geographies, sectors and industries as well as the Portfolio’s duration and sensitivity to inflation. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) |
| | Overall, during the Reporting Period, our strategic asset allocation had a negative impact on the Portfolio’s results. Medium-term cycle-aware allocation also detracted from returns as did security selection within the Underlying Funds. Our short-term tactical allocation did not have a material impact on performance during the Reporting Period. |
| | Strategic allocation detracted from the Portfolio’s returns during the Reporting Period. Among real asset classes, the Portfolio’s strategic allocation to global infrastructure securities, which are sensitive to interest rates, lagged the equity components of the blended benchmark as U.S. interest rates rose during the Reporting Period. This was offset somewhat by the Portfolio’s strategic allocation to global real estate securities, which outperformed the equity components of the blended benchmark amid strong demand for real estate and positive U.S. economic data. Within equities, the Portfolio was hampered by its strategic allocation to emerging markets equities, which were pressured by geopolitical risks and a stronger U.S. dollar. For similar reasons, within fixed income, the Portfolio was hurt by strategic allocations to local emerging markets debt and U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt. This was offset somewhat by strategic allocations to U.S. high yield corporate bonds and leveraged loans, which outperformed the fixed income component of the blended benchmark as investors flocked to higher-yielding U.S. fixed income assets. |
| | Our medium-term cycle-aware allocation further detracted from the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period. Specifically, our view that the Portfolio be overweight global infrastructure securities versus global real estate securities hurt results, as global real estate securities outperformed global infrastructure securities during the Reporting Period. Within equities, our medium-term cycle-aware views, wherein the Portfolio was overweight emerging markets equities and international small-cap stocks, had a negative impact on performance. |
| | Overall, security selection within the Underlying Funds dampened Portfolio returns, with underperformance concentrated in the Underlying Fixed Income Funds. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among Underlying Fixed Income Funds, the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund underperformed its benchmark index most during the Reporting Period. The Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund and the Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund also lagged their respective benchmark indices. Among Underlying Equity Funds, the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF and the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund underperformed their respective benchmark indices. The Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund outperformed its benchmark index. Among Underlying Funds that invest in real assets, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund outperformed its benchmark index and the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund underperformed its benchmark index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Portfolio use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Portfolio did not directly invest in derivatives. However, some of the Underlying Funds used derivatives to apply their active investment views with greater versatility and to potentially afford greater risk management precision. As market conditions warranted, some of these Underlying Funds engaged in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, financial futures contracts, options, swap contracts and structured securities to attempt to enhance portfolio return and for hedging purposes. |
Q | | What changes did you make during the Reporting Period within the Portfolio? |
A | | We made three notable adjustments to the Portfolio’s allocations during the Reporting Period. First, we implemented a medium-term cycle-aware view that the Portfolio be overweight emerging markets equities by reducing exposure to global infrastructure securities. In our opinion, the growth trajectory of the emerging markets should widen relative to that of the developed markets over the medium term, and we believe that equities tend to benefit more from greater corporate growth than other asset classes. Meanwhile, we were anticipating the possibility of higher interest rates, leading to our decision to underweight global infrastructure securities. |
| | Second, during March 2018, we implemented a medium-term cycle-aware view that the Portfolio be overweight global infrastructure securities by reducing exposure to global real estate securities. This was to express our positive view on energy master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), which had sold off following a surprise regulatory ruling from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. We considered the market reaction overly negative and took advantage of the selloff to add exposure to the Portfolio, as we thought energy MLPs had attractive fundamentals and strong dividend yields. |
| | Third, in early May 2018, we changed our medium-term cycle-aware view that the Portfolio have a long position in U.S. high yield corporate debt versus local emerging markets debt to a view that it hold a long position in local emerging markets debt versus U.S. high yield corporate debt. This move reflected our belief that credit spreads, which typically start to widen before an equity market peak, would be a headwind for U.S. high yield corporate bonds in the near term. (Credit spreads are yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity.) |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Portfolio’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective June 21, 2018, Edward J. Tostanoski III no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Portfolio. By design, all investment decisions for the Portfolio are performed within a co-lead or team structure, with multiple subject matter experts. This strategic decision making has been the cornerstone of our approach and ensures continuity in the Portfolio. At the end of the Reporting Period, the portfolio managers for the Portfolio were Raymond Chan and Christopher Lvoff. |

GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements
June 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 “Portfolios” or individually a “Portfolio”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
| | | | |
Portfolio | | Share Classes Offered | | Diversified/ Non-diversified |
All Portfolios | | A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, P*, R, R6 | | Diversified |
* | | Commenced operations on April 17, 2018. |
Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Investor, Class 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 Portfolios pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
The Portfolios are expected to invest primarily in a combination of domestic and international equity and fixed income underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) which are registered under the Act, for which GSAM or Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), also an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, act as investment advisers.
|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The valuation policy of the Portfolios and Underlying Funds is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, 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 Portfolios 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. Income distributions are recognized as capital gains or income in the financial statements in accordance with the character that is distributed.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Statements 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.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of each Portfolio are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Portfolios on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.
Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”). Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by each Portfolio will vary.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Portfolio is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | |
Portfolio | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Balanced Strategy, Growth and Income Strategy and Satellite Strategies | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Equity Growth Strategy and Growth Strategy | | | | Annually | | Annually |
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Portfolio’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Portfolios’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Portfolios 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 Portfolios’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
96
GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
|
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 Portfolios’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Portfolios, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Portfolios’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Underlying Funds (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 Class R6 Shares 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 Portfolios invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolio enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are valued at the last sale or settlement price and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.
i. Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.
A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a forward contract in which a Portfolio agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.
ii. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial
97

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Portfolio equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Portfolio and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Portfolio, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
iii. Options — When a Portfolio writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by a Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
iv. Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which a Portfolio and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between a Portfolio and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”) (“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty or clearinghouse prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, a Portfolio is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a triparty account on behalf of the counterparty), which can be adjusted by any mark-to-market gains or losses pursuant to bilateral or centrally cleared arrangements. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin.
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. A Portfolio’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If a Portfolio buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Portfolio, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted reference obligation in a physically settled trade. A Portfolio may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade.
As a seller of protection, a Portfolio generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if a Portfolio sells protection through a credit default swap, a Portfolio could suffer a loss because the value of the referenced obligation and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Portfolio, as a seller of credit protection, may be required to take possession of the defaulted reference obligation and pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap in a physically settled trade. A Portfolio may also pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted security or obligation. In addition, a Portfolio is entitled to a return of any assets, which have been pledged as collateral to the counterparty upon settlement.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These

potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where a Portfolio bought credit protection.
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 Portfolios’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Portfolio’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

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

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Portfolios, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

The Trust, on behalf of Service Shares of each Portfolio, 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 Portfolios, as set forth below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates | |

* | | 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 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 Portfolios pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC.

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% the average daily net assets attributable to Class C or Service Shares of the Portfolios, respectively.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolios for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, 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.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Portfolios (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolios are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.01% for the Satellite Strategies Portfolio and 0.004% for each other Portfolio. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Portfolios have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Portfolios’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio | | | | Transfer Agency Waivers/Credits | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Expense Reductions | |

Satellite Strategies | | | | | 139 | | | | 79,410 | | | | 79,549 | |
G. Line of Credit Facility — As of June 30, 2018, the Portfolios participated in a $770,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Portfolios based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Portfolios did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to May 1, 2018, the facility was $1,100,000,000. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — As of June 30, 2018, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of 100% of Class R6 Shares of the Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of June 30, 2018, the Portfolios’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Balanced Strategy | | | Equity Growth Strategy | | | Growth and Income Strategy | | | Growth Strategy | | | Satellite Strategies | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 525,010,812 | | | $ | 291,288,637 | | | $ | 936,724,894 | | | $ | 821,566,320 | | | $ | 564,538,758 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 6,883,868 | | | | 46,941,094 | | | | 38,760,049 | | | | 55,106,061 | | | | 46,994,039 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (25,263,244 | ) | | | (6,925,278 | ) | | | (31,429,281 | ) | | | (15,907,201 | ) | | | (34,974,343 | ) |
Net unrealized security gain (loss) | | $ | (18,379,376 | ) | | $ | 40,015,816 | | | $ | 7,330,768 | | | $ | 39,198,860 | | | $ | 12,019,696 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures and options contracts and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Portfolios’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Portfolios’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Portfolios’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Portfolios. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios 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 Portfolios also invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Investments in the Underlying Funds — The investments of a Portfolio are concentrated in the Underlying Funds, and the Portfolio’s investment performance is directly related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds it holds. A Portfolio is subject to the risk factors associated with the investments of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets allocated to each. A Portfolio that has a relative concentration of its portfolio in a single Underlying Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting that Underlying Fund, and may be more susceptible to losses because of these developments.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Portfolio or an Underlying Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Portfolio or an Underlying Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Portfolio’s or the Underlying Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the expense ratio of the Portfolio or the Underlying Fund. Similarly, large Portfolio or Underlying Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Portfolio’s or an Underlying Fund’s performance to the extent that the Portfolio or the Underlying Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — A Portfolio may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Portfolio will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Portfolio may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Portfolio trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolios. Additionally, in the course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), 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 Portfolio expenses.
The 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 Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year (74 out of 365 days for Class P Shares, which commenced operations on April 17, 2018). The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from April 17,2018 through June 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 Portfolios’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees and do not include expenses of Underlying Funds in which the Portfolios invest. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio, and Goldman Sachs Satellite Strategies Portfolio (the “Portfolios”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Portfolios at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Portfolios.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2019 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Portfolio, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Portfolio and the underlying funds in which it invests (the “Underlying Funds”) by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and a benchmark performance index; and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Underlying Funds invest; |
| (c) | | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Portfolio’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Portfolio’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | | the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Portfolio; |
| (e) | | fee and expense information for the Portfolio, including: |
| (i) | | the relative management fee and expense levels of the Portfolio as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (ii) | | the Portfolio’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | | to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolio, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser; |
| (f) | | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Portfolio; |
| (g) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations of the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds; |
120

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (h) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Portfolio to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | | whether the Portfolio’s existing management fee schedule, together with the management fee schedules of the Underlying Funds, adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (j) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds for transfer agency, securities lending, portfolio trading, distribution and other services; |
| (k) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Portfolio and/or the Underlying Funds as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | | with respect to the applicable Underlying Funds, information regarding commissions paid by the Underlying Equity Funds and broker oversight, an update on the Investment Adviser’s soft dollars practices, other information regarding portfolio trading, and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution; |
| (m) | | portfolio manager ownership of Portfolio shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (n) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Portfolio and the Underlying Funds by their unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (o) | | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Portfolios’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Portfolios’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Portfolio shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Portfolio investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Portfolios and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Portfolios. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Portfolios and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Portfolios, the Underlying Funds, and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Portfolio to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on each Portfolio’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates. The Trustees also reviewed each Portfolio’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Portfolios over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Portfolio in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Portfolio performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Underlying Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management. They noted the efforts of the portfolio management team of certain Underlying Funds to continue to enhance the investment models used in managing the Underlying Funds.
The Trustees observed that the Balanced Strategy Portfolio’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Portfolio’s peer group for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the one-year period, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the three-year period and underperformed for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees further observed that the Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Portfolio’s peer group and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. They noted that the Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Portfolio’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods and underperformed for the five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. They observed that the Growth Strategy Portfolio’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Portfolio’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and underperformed for the ten-year period ended March 31, 2018. They noted that the Satellite Strategies Portfolio’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Portfolio’s peer group for the one- and three-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the five- and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Portfolio’s benchmark index for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees noted that the Satellite Strategies Portfolio had certain significant differences from both the Portfolio’s peer group and benchmark index that caused the peer group and benchmark index to be imperfect bases for comparison.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Portfolio thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Portfolios as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Portfolios. The analyses provided a comparison of each Portfolio’s management fee to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Portfolio’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Portfolio’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Portfolio’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Portfolios.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations of the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Portfolios, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Portfolios differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Portfolio shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Portfolio fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Portfolio.

Profitability
The Trustees reviewed each Portfolio’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Portfolio and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for each Portfolio was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Portfolios.
The Trustees noted that, although the Portfolios themselves do not have breakpoints in their management fee schedules, any benefits of the breakpoints in the management fee schedules of certain Underlying Funds, when reached, would pass through to the shareholders in the Portfolios at the specified asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Portfolios; the Portfolios’ recent purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and the profits realized by them; information comparing the fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Portfolios and Underlying Funds that exceed specified levels. They also considered the services provided to the Portfolios under the Management Agreement and the fees and expenses borne by the Underlying Funds, and determined that the management fees payable by the Portfolios were not duplicative of the management fees paid at the Underlying Fund level.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Portfolios and/or the Underlying Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of certain Underlying Funds; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of certain Underlying Funds; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Underlying Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent for certain Underlying Funds (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which those Underlying Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Portfolios on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Portfolio shareholders; (h) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Portfolio Distributor; (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Portfolios and Underlying Funds; and (j) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Portfolios’ and Underlying Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Portfolios and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Portfolios and/or the Underlying Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Underlying Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) with respect to the Underlying Funds, enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) with respect to certain Underlying Funds, the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience
123
GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Portfolios and the Underlying Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Portfolios’ and Underlying Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; (h) with respect to certain Underlying Funds, the ability to participate in the securities lending program administered by GSAL, as measured by the revenue received by the Underlying Funds in connection with the program; and (i) the Portfolios’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Portfolios’ shareholders invested in the Portfolios in part because of the Portfolios’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Portfolios were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Portfolio’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Portfolio and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Portfolio until June 30, 2019.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 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 -2.03%, -2.42%, -1.81%, -1.94%, -2.19% and -1.89%, respectively. These returns compare to the -1.30% cumulative total return of the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”). The Index is intended to measure all sectors of the infrastructure market.1 The Fund’s former benchmark, the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), returned -0.82% during the same period. |
| | For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 1.33% compared to the 1.74% cumulative total return of the Index. The Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) returned 2.03% during the same period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced global infrastructure companies during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During January 2018, when the Reporting Period began, the global infrastructure market edged down slightly. The utilities sector declined as investors began to reassess utility companies’ growth prospects amid higher interest rates. The transportation sector performed best, supported by companies that reported strong fourth quarter and calendar year 2017 earnings. The global infrastructure market retreated further in February 2018. Every sector recorded a negative return, with energy posting the worst performance. |
| | In March 2018, the global infrastructure market achieved a modest gain. Among sectors, utilities produced positive returns, while energy generated the weakest results. Energy infrastructure companies struggled following a surprise ruling from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) that energy master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) could no longer include an income tax allowance in their cost-of-service rate calculations (a method used to set rates for pipeline customers). FERC also made a market-expected announcement regarding regulated pipelines owned by “C” corporations, ruling that the federal income tax allowance should be reduced from 35% to 21%, in keeping with corporate tax reform. |
| | In April 2018, the global infrastructure market recorded another modest gain. The best performing sector was transportation, while the communications sector declined. Communications companies weakened following the announcement of the T-Mobile and Sprint merger, as investors worried about potential revenue losses from overlapping cell towers that supported the two companies’ networks. The global infrastructure market fell back slightly in May 2018. The transportation sector declined, while the energy sector generated solidly positive returns. During June 2018, the global infrastructure market produced a gain. The energy sector performed best, while the transportation sector declined. |
| | For the Reporting Period overall, the global infrastructure market, as measured by the Index, generated a cumulative total return of -1.30%. Japan was the top performing market during the Reporting Period, followed at a distance by Hong Kong and the U.S. Decliners were led by Italy and Canada. Within market sectors, communications companies generated gains, while transportation companies posted losses. Energy infrastructure and utilities companies ended the Reporting Period about where they started. |

The Index includes companies domiciled globally that qualify as “pure-play” infrastructure companies —companies whose primary business is the ownership and operation of infrastructure assets, activities that generally generate long-term stable cash flows. It includes master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) in addition to other equity securities. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, security selection in the utilities sector, particularly among gas utilities, detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund was also hampered by its overweight position compared the Index in the transportation sector. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from security selection in the energy sector, especially among energy MLPs. Among countries, security selection in Spain, Australia and France hurt relative returns most. The Fund was helped by security selection and an overweight position relative to the Index in the U.S. |
Q | | What individual holdings detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The top detractors from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were ONEOK, Aena SME and Beijing Enterprises Water Group. |
| | The Fund’s underweight compared to the Index in ONEOK (OKE), one of the largest energy midstream2 service providers in the U.S., detracted from relative returns. OKE’s shares performed strongly in April 2018 alongside a general recovery in the North American energy sector that was driven by increasing exports and global demand. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained the Fund’s underweight position in OKE, as we thought the stock was trading at a significant premium compared to others in the sector. |
| | An investment in Aena SME (AENA), a Spanish state-owned manager and operator of airport terminals, also hurt the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. While AENA’s fundamentals remained strong, its shares declined after Transcontinental Realty Investors and Talos Capital took a 2.6% stake in the company. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed AENA was well positioned to benefit from increasing travel driven by a better economy, and it should, in our view, continue to grow revenues in 2018 and beyond. We also thought the regulatory framework remained favorable for the company at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | Another notable detractor from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period was Beijing Enterprises Water Group (BEW), a Hong Kong-based provider of various water and environmental protection services in China, Singapore, Malaysia and Portugal. The company’s stock price declined in January 2018 following the announcement of a new issue placement, which would increase the total number of outstanding shares and therefore dilute BEW’s earnings per share. Investor sentiment remained weak ahead of China’s National People’s Congress because of concerns surrounding the off-balance sheet structure of BEW’s public-private partnership (“PPP”) investment funds and the Chinese government’s regulatory tightening on PPP projects. (An off-balance sheet structure means the financing activity is not on a company’s balance sheet.) Additionally, BEW reported lower than market expected fiscal year 2017 earnings in March 2018, driven by slower progress on water renovation PPP project development and lower construction margins. Despite these disappointing results, at the end of the Reporting Period, we believed BEW had high quality projects that are well structured, which should potentially allow the company to gain access to low-cost capital and to generate stable cash flows. In our opinion, BEW was on track at the end of the Reporting Period to meet its fiscal 2017 goals, with strong potential for both its water capacity and water renovation contracts. We thought BEW could continue to benefit from what we see as its solid management team and lower leverage levels as well as from broader efforts to clean up China’s water supply. |
Q | | What individual holdings added most to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, Cheniere Energy, Sempra Energy and Williams Partners L.P. were leading positive contributors to the Fund’s relative returns. |
| | Cheniere Energy (LNG), a company primarily engaged in liquefied natural gas businesses, added to the Fund’s relative performance. LNG’s shares appreciated along with the price of natural gas, which rose amid increased global demand growth. In addition, its company management raised guidance after deciding to invest in the Corpus Christi Train 3 expansion, as it is likely to increase LNG’s capacity for |
| 2 | | 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 business can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities. |

| liquefied natural gas. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive about LNG, as the majority of the company’s capacity is concentrated in long-term take-or-pay3 agreements with investment grade rate counterparties, making its cash flow highly visible. |
| | Sempra Energy (SRE), the largest natural gas distribution utility in California, was another top contributor to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. SRE has a balanced portfolio of growth businesses composed of regulated utilities and long-term contracted energy infrastructure, and it is well-diversified geographically, in our view. Its shares gained during February 2018 on the back of a positive fourth quarter 2017 earnings announcement, which highlighted better than market expected earnings and an increased 2018 annual dividend. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were encouraged by the approval of SRE’s acquisition of Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC, and we believed SRE was poised for growth for 2018 overall. |
| | Williams Partners L.P. (WPZ), a natural gas-focused midstream energy company with operations in numerous U.S. basins, also enhanced the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Its shares appreciated after the company announced in May 2018 an improved outlook and better than market expected financial metrics. During the Reporting Period, its parent company Williams Companies announced it would acquire WPZ in an all stock-for-unit transaction. In our view, WPZ had strong dividend coverage and was trading at the end of the Reporting Period at an attractive valuation relative to its peers. |
Q | | Were there any notable purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among the purchases made during the Reporting Period were the Fund’s investments in SRE and AENA, both mentioned previously. |
| | Notable sales included Atlas Arteria Group (ALX), an Australia-based operator of toll roads in the U.S. and Europe. ALX’s stock price had rallied during 2017 due to strong earnings results, driven by stable traffic trends across the U.S. and Europe as well as by the company’s expansion of its French toll road network, which benefited from an improving regional economy. Encouraged by its shareholders, ALX separated from parent Macquarie Group in order to have its own management team and to reduce liabilities. The announcement drove ALX’s shares higher in November 2017. In our view, ALX could see a traffic decline for its Virginia-based toll road going forward because of growing congestion and the completion of competing roads in the area. As a result, we sold the Fund’s position in ALX during the Reporting Period as we sought to capture profits. |
| | We exited the Fund’s investment in Equinix. We had initially purchased shares of the data center provider because we thought it was well positioned to benefit from continued demand for data storage. During the Reporting Period, Equinix reached our price target, and we decided to reallocate the capital to investment ideas with what we considered greater potential risk/reward. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments within its investment process during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking securities rather than on making sector, subsector or country bets. We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting securities we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in the Fund’s sector or country weights are generally the direct result of individual security selection and/or the appreciation or depreciation of particular Fund holdings. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund moved from an underweight in the transportation sector to an overweight position. This shift was largely the result of our decision to add more exposure to airport companies. At the same time, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to toll road companies. In addition, the Fund shifted from an overweight in the energy sector to a slightly underweight position. Its underweight in the utilities sector also decreased. From a country perspective, compared to the Index, the Fund’s overweight in the U.S. increased, while the Fund moved from underweights in the U.K. and Spain to rather neutral positions in each. Also, the Fund’s overweight in Italy decreased 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 neutral relative to the Index in the energy and communications sectors. It was overweight versus the Index in the transportation sector and underweight the utilities sector. In geographic terms, the Fund was overweight the U.S. and Italy and underweight Hong Kong at the end of the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed modest economic growth provided an excellent backdrop for global infrastructure securities. We thought the financing environment was accommodative; fundamentals with respect to supply and demand were healthy; and the investment attributes of global infrastructure securities continued to be viewed favorably, especially relative to fixed income. Therefore, investor demand is likely, in our view, to increase, which could be supportive of valuations. Despite the more uncertain and volatile global macro environment, we believe infrastructure companies hold unique positions in the global economy and can benefit from their strong business models, which typically feature stable demand, high barriers to entry and regulated or contract-based businesses. We further believe the financing environment for global infrastructure companies is likely to continue to be accommodative, which is particularly important given the capital-intensive nature of these businesses. In the near term, we believe divergent global central bank monetary policies and varying fundamentals at the sub-sector level may present compelling investment opportunities. We think global infrastructure securities may provide investors with attractive yields and lower volatility relative to the broader equity market. Compared to bonds, we believe they offer long-term growth potential, inflation hedging benefits and resiliency to interest rate fluctuations. |

| | As of June 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. 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. |

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Fund may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Fund as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT. Distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. The Fund records its pro-rata share of the income/loss and capital gains/losses, allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost basis of the underlying partnerships accordingly.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, 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 fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly, and distributions from net capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Fund’s net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation —The accounting records and reporting currency of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statement of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Fund’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Fund, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges
22
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 the 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 the Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2018:

and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Contractual Management Rate | | | | | | Effective Net Management Rate* | |
First $1 billion | | | Next $1 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Over $8 billion | | | Effective Rate | |
| 0.90% | | | | 0.81% | | | | 0.77% | | | | 0.75% | | | | 0.74% | | | | 0.90% | | | | 0.90% | |
* | | Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. |
The Fund invests in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs 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 an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Fund invests. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, GSAM waived $1,457 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 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 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 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 June 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained $3,410 for Class A Shares and did not retain any portion of the CDSC for Class C Shares 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; 0.03% of 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.
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 0.054%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Fund’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Management Fee Waiver | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Expense Reductions | |
$ | 1,457 | | | $ | 59,397 | | | $ | 60,854 | |
G. Line of Credit Facility — As of June 30, 2018, the Fund participated in a $770,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Fund based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to May 1, 2018, the facility was $1,100,000,000. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs earned $53 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Fund.
The following table provides information about the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Fund as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
As of the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end, December 31, 2017, the Fund’s certain timing differences, on a tax-basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Timing differences (Qualified Post-October Loss Deferral, PTP Passive Activity Loss Deferral) | | $ | (2,565,839 | ) |
As of June 30, 2018, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 224,933,123 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 13,930,380 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (9,270,351 | ) |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 4,660,029 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of partnership investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior two years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the 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:
Foreign Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.
Foreign Custody Risk — If the Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.
Geographic Risk — If the Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, 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.
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.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, 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.
26
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
|
7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include the Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
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.
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.
Non-Diversification Risk— The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the 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.

Fund Expenses — Period Ended June 30, 2018 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of the 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 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 January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365 day year. The Class P Shares example is based on the period from April 17, 2018, which represents a period of 75 out of 365 days. The Class P Shares example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 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 ratio 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:

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) is an investment portfolio of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Fund at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Fund.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2019 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to the Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |

The Trustees also received an overview of the Fund’s distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Fund’s assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution and service fees. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Fund and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Fund. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Fund and its service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Fund and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Fund and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of the Fund to its peers using rankings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on the Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-year period ending on the applicable date. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of
31
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Fund over time, and reviewed the investment performance of the Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Fund’s risk profile, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by the Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Fund, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Fund as a registered mutual fund.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Fund. The analyses provided a comparison of the Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared the Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing the Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared the Fund’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Fund.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the Fund that would have the effect of decreasing total expenses of Class A, Class C, Investor, and Class R Shares of the Fund, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Fund’s next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Fund differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Fund was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
32
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for the Fund at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Fund:
| | | | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.90 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.81 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.77 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.75 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.74 | |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Fund and its shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Fund; the Fund’s recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed a specified level. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Fund; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of the Fund; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Fund on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (h) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Fund; and (i) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Fund and Its Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Fund receives certain potential benefits as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Fund with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Fund as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Fund because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Fund’s access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (h) the Fund’s access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Fund’s shareholders invested in the Fund in part because of the Fund’s relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.

Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by the Fund were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and the Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit the Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to the Fund until June 30, 2019.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 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 0.34%, 0.01%, 0.58%, 0.57%, 0.24% and 0.55%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.46% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “FTSE Index”), during the same period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) returned 0.91% during the same period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of 3.38%. This compares to the 4.01% cumulative total return of the FTSE Index during the same time period. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (gross, USD, unhedged) returned 4.25% during the same period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the global real estate securities market as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | For the Reporting Period overall, the global real estate securities market, as measured by the FTSE Index, gained 0.46%. |
| The FTSE Index declined 4.38% during the first quarter of 2018. Israel and Australia were the weakest markets, while Japan was the only market to outperform the FTSE Index. In Australia, signs of capitalization rate compression ending, in conjunction with weaker outlooks for rental growth, weighed on the market broadly. (Capitalization rate, or “cap rate,” is the ratio of net operating income of a property to its market value, i.e. the percentage return an investor would get if they purchased the property for cash. When cap rates are down, or compressing, it means real estate values are increasing.) In Japan, demand benefited from continued quantitative easing by the Bank of Japan as well as from better than consensus expected Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth. |
| The FTSE Index gained 5.45% during the second quarter of 2018. The U.S. and Israel were the top performing markets, while Singapore was the weakest. In the U.S., self-storage and lodging subsectors drove strong performance. In Singapore, despite improving macroeconomic conditions and a pick-up in broad-based demand domestically, locally-listed real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) struggled due to market concerns about the sustainability of the current residential cycle, driven by the broader rising interest rate environment and elevated 10-year Singapore government securities yields. |
| For the Reporting Period overall, Japan was the top performing market by some distance, followed by the U.S. real estate securities market. Singapore and Hong Kong were the weakest performing markets during the Reporting Period. In Japan, demand for property markets benefited from continued quantitative easing by the Bank of Japan as well as from better than consensus expected GDP growth. The Singapore REIT market underperformed due primarily to new equity issuance that led to profit-taking amongst residential developers. Overall, within the global real estate securities market, fundamentals generally remained strong. New supply of apartment, industrial, mall, office and strip centers was limited and peaking, in our view, given 1) rising construction costs and 2) stable and improving demand against a backdrop of a healthy global economy. At the end of the Reporting Period, leverage levels were at record lows, and payout ratios were below historical averages, according to Green Street Advisors. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most share classes of the Fund either closely tracked or outperformed the FTSE Index during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Stock selection in the U.K. and Japan contributed most positively. Stock selection in continental Europe detracted most. Sector allocation overall had a rather neutral, albeit slightly positive, effect on relative results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings? |
A | | Orix JREIT, a Japanese REIT (“JREIT”) investing in real estate properties that include offices, rental houses and hotels, was the top positive contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The JREIT sector broadly traded at inexpensive valuations after underperforming both global peers and domestic real estate developers in 2017. Orix JREIT, along with the broader sector, saw a recovery in share prices during the Reporting Period, as the Bank of Japan maintained its dovish tone and reiterated its quantitative easing agenda despite increasingly hawkish comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve in light of inflation. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) With growing concerns about global inflation, the Japanese equity market saw a return to a search for yield, providing additional support for higher income generating securities, including JREITs. As Orix JREIT outperformed the FTSE Index during the Reporting Period on the back of robust leasing operations from its quality portfolio of assets, we decided to take profits in the stock during the Reporting Period and reinvest the capital into other opportunities in Japan’s real estate market. |
| Chesapeake Lodging Trust, an owner of upscale hotels in key gateway markets in the U.S., was also a top positive contributor to the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Following disappointing performance in 2017, a stronger economic backdrop, coupled with positive 2018 guidance, led shares of Chesapeake Lodging Trust to appreciate. At the end of the Reporting Period, we had high conviction in the company’s strategy and its assets for the remainder of the hotel cycle given its roughly 20% exposure to the San Francisco hotel market. In our view, this may well continue to be one of the top markets in the U.S. during the next several years, especially with the reopening of the Moscone Convention Center, which should help further fuel demand in the area. Lastly, we believed Chesapeake Lodging Trust’s high quality assets and relatively small size continued to make the company a compelling candidate for acquisition. |
Q | | Which positions detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | CK Asset Holdings is a large cap, blue chip, diversified real estate developer from Hong Kong managing what we see as a robust balance sheet supported by its management team’s active asset monetization strategy during the past two years. The company has diversified its income stream to include recurrent non-property income to support high, predictable dividend payments for its shareholders. However, CK Asset Holdings underperformed the FTSE Index during the Reporting Period largely due to persistent concerns about U.S.-China trade relations and the potentially resulting impact on the property market in Hong Kong. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to view the company positively given what we saw as its attractive valuation, strong balance sheet, experienced management team and high quality asset portfolio. |
| City Developments, a Singapore-based diversified real estate developer with exposure to the condominium, hotel and office subsectors, was also a top detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Market fundamentals largely remained intact, with completion rates estimated to remain below the historical average for the next few years and continued residential destocking driven by “en bloc” sales. (In real estate, an en bloc sale, or collective sale, occurs when the there is a sale of two or more property units to a common developer.) However, recent cooling measures by the Singaporean government may have the potential to reduce land banking and en bloc participation by developers. Lowered loan-to-value ratios for mortgages could also reduce the pace of demand for residential property going forward, in our view, at the same time introducing new pricing pressures. We believe City Developments remains well positioned to weather market volatility due to what we consider to be its complementary and diversified asset base, strong project launch pipeline and further initiatives to unlock asset value. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund did not use derivatives during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we re-initiated a position in Mitsubishi Estate, having sold the Fund’s position in this Japanese diversified real estate landlord and developer |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| focused on prime Tokyo office space, during the Fund’s prior fiscal year. Shares of the company had not performed well during the last three years due to weaker than peer rental performance from its Marunouchi-focused prime office portfolio and residential development business. However, looking ahead, we believe its office portfolio of superior asset quality is likely to perform strongly, as the Tokyo vacancy rate dipped below 4% during the Reporting Period, providing, in our view, tailwinds for landlords’ pricing power. As such, we re-established a Fund position in Mitsubishi Estate, as we viewed the stock to be trading at an attractive valuation. |
| We established a Fund position in Duke Realty, an owner of industrial properties across the U.S. In our view, its shares were trading at compelling valuations following price weakness relative to other industrial names. Additionally, in our view, secular drivers of e-commerce have led to strong demand, which is still ahead of supply, especially in the core markets. Furthermore, we believe Duke Realty offers an attractive dividend yield, and we are positive on the company’s management team. |
| Conversely, we exited the Fund’s position in Brixmor Property Group, a U.S. REIT that owns and operates grocery-anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers in the U.S. Brixmor Property Group was among the top detractors from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. There was no company-specific catalyst for its underperformance of the FTSE Index, but rather it was mainly due to the pullback in the retail sector in January 2018. Given its high exposure to highly productive grocers, along with its mix of convenience store and value retail tenants, we believe Brixmor Property Group’s portfolio of properties may be more insulated from e-commerce pressures than some of its subsector peers. Also, the company announced during the Reporting Period an increase in its planned disposition program, which we believe could result in lower leverage and a stronger portfolio quality. Nevertheless, we opted to sell the Fund’s position in Brixmor Property Group and reallocate the proceeds to higher conviction names. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in Mitsui Fudosan, Japan’s second largest property developer. During the Reporting Period, shares of the company rose due largely to active office redevelopment and improved residential development margins. However, we believe maintaining high earnings growth could become challenging for Mitsui Fudosan going forward. Additionally, the developer’s new office project completions may incur higher than consensus expected opening costs, as indicated by its management team’s modest guidance during full-year 2017 results announced in May 2018. After the company’s shares performed strongly following a small-scale buyback in May 2018, we decided to sell the position, taking profits and redeploying the capital to other investments within Japan. |
Q | | Were there any changes made in the Fund’s investment strategy during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking securities rather than on making regional, country or subsector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its regional or subsector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of real estate securities’ appreciation or depreciation. That said, the Fund’s exposure to Hong Kong increased and its exposure to the U.K. and U.S. decreased relative to the FTSE Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | From a region/country perspective, the Fund was underweighted relative to the FTSE Index in the U.K., was generally overweighted relative to the FTSE Index in continental Europe and was rather neutrally weighted compared to the FTSE Index in the U.S. and other constituent countries of the FTSE Index at the end of June 2018, with the exceptions of Israel and New Zealand to which the Fund had no exposure at all. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed global REITs could continue to generate positive returns given robust demand and improving sentiment across most subsectors and geographies. In the U.S., while new supply is growing due to high margins driven by the attractive spread, or differential, between development yields and cap rates, supply levels were still below demand. We believe this imbalance could lead to further increases in occupancy levels and rental rates, including higher rent per square foot, as new leases replace expiring ones. |
| Outside of the U.S., we believed market fundamentals continued to provide support for international REITs. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Reported GDP in countries like Japan and Germany surpassed consensus estimates during the Reporting Period, while trade and consumption in continental Europe, the U.K. and China stayed strong and improved. Furthermore, business spending and sentiment appeared to, we believe, be picking up across industries, including financials, hospitality and information technology, in the absence of wage pressures. We view these trends as indications of ongoing growth potential in demand for real estate space. Anticipating an eventual interest rate hike by several developed market central banks, many international REITs have also locked in low-cost debt funding whenever available and have generally maintained what we consider to be strong balance sheets in the wake of the 2008 recession. Despite some rise of both the short-term and long-term ends of the rate curves for a few major countries, we observed the funding environment for REITs remained quite open and inexpensive relative to the consensus outlook of the long-term cash yield from REITs’ underlying assets. In our view, the favorable environment at the end of the Reporting Period may allow REITs to deploy capital toward high quality projects to potentially drive future growth. |
| Overall, we believe global REITs can continue to offer attractive liquidity and risk-adjusted total returns given the yield, growth, diversification and inflation-hedging benefits the asset class has historically exhibited. On a stock level, we believe opportunities abound, as various property subsectors and geographies could offer wide dispersions in returns. As fundamental, bottom-up investors, we see opportunities beyond the headline risks associated with certain regions and intend to continue to focus our approach on those companies that have well-capitalized balance sheets and that possess quality attributes, such as a robust business model, a high quality asset exposure and a strong management team with a sound reinvestment strategy. |

Investment Objective
The Fund seeks total return comprised of long-term growth of capital and dividend income.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 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 -0.11%, -0.45%, 0.23%, 0.01% and 0.25%, respectively. These returns compare to the -0.41% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-US Real Estate Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Real Estate Index”) during the same period. The Fund’s former benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-US Real Estate Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) returned 0.03% for the same period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of -1.63%. This compares to the -1.22% cumulative total return of the Real Estate Index during the same time period. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex-US Real Estate Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) returned -0.94% during the same period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the international real estate securities market as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | For the Reporting Period overall, the international real estate securities market, as measured by the Real Estate Index, underperformed the U.S. real estate securities market, as measured by the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index (with dividends reinvested), by approximately two percentage points, but outperformed the broad international equity market, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), by more than two percentage points. |
| The Real Estate Index returned -0.66% during the first quarter of 2018. Japan and the U.K. were the best performing markets, while Australia and Hong Kong were weakest, generating negative absolute returns. In Japan, demand for property markets benefited from continued quantitative easing by the Bank of Japan as well as from better than consensus expected Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth. In Australia, signs of capitalization rate compression ending, in conjunction with weaker outlooks for rental growth, weighed on its real estate market broadly. (Capitalization rate, or “cap rate,” is the ratio of net operating income of a property to its market value, i.e. the percentage return an investor would get if they purchased the property for cash. When cap rates are down, or compressing, it means real estate values are increasing.) |
| The Real Estate Index returned 0.25% during the second quarter of 2018. Australia and Germany were the best performing markets, while Singapore and Spain were weakest, generating negative absolute returns. Merger and acquisition activity led the Australian real estate market higher during the quarter, while the Singapore real estate investment trust (“REIT”) market underperformed due primarily to new equity issuance that led to profit-taking amongst residential developers. |
| | For the Reporting Period overall, primary drivers were rising interest rates. Overall, rising interest rates hurt the international real estate market, as the increased cost of capital negatively affected real estate company operators’ margins and free cash flow/funds from operations. E-commerce disruption was a negative for the retail sector, with a couple of high profile store closures weighing on market sentiment. This was particularly pronounced in the U.K., where the number of store closures during the Reporting Period already matched that of calendar year 2017. Still, data showed that such disruption has not been as universal as many had thought, with high quality retail posting improving sales and revenue figures during the second quarter of 2018. The industrial subsector has |
9
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| benefited from this disruption conversely, as there is growing demand for quicker shipments of goods, requiring locations near city centers, which tend to be more expensive and higher quality real estate. This has generally led to rental growth and low vacancies within the subsector, both positive drivers for earnings. (Disruption, in this context, displaces an existing market, industry or technology and produces something new and more efficient and worthwhile, at once destructive and creative.) The hotel sub-sector was an especially strong performer during the Reporting Period, as an improving global economy fueled increases in corporate travel demand. Hotels are able to reprice rooms daily, which helps shield companies from the effects of inflation and rising interest rates. |
| For the Reporting Period overall, Spain, Japan and Austria were the best performing markets during the Reporting Period. Finland, Israel and the Netherlands were the weakest performing markets during the Reporting Period. All that said, fundamentals within the international real estate market generally remained strong. New supply of apartment, industrial, mall, office and strip centers was limited and peaking, in our view, given 1) rising construction costs and 2) stable and improving demand off the back of a healthy global economy. At the end of the Reporting Period, leverage levels were at record lows, and payout ratios were below historical averages, according to Green Street Advisors. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most share classes of the Fund outperformed the Real Estate Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period. Stock selection in the U.K. and Japan contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results. In the U.K., the Fund was prudently underweight U.K. retail and overweight U.K. self-storage. In Japan, security selection was strongest within the diversified and retail sub-sectors. Offsetting these positive contributors was stock selection in Germany, which detracted. Having an overweight to France, which underperformed the Real Estate Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. In Germany, security selection within the residential subsector hurt most. In France, the Fund’s overweights in the diversified and retail subsectors detracted most. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings? |
A | | Orix JREIT, a Japanese REIT (“JREIT”) investing in real estate properties that include offices, rental houses and hotels, was the top positive contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The JREIT sector broadly traded at inexpensive valuations after underperforming both international peers and domestic real estate developers in 2017. Orix JREIT, along with the broader sector, saw a recovery in share prices during the Reporting Period, as the Bank of Japan maintained its dovish tone and reiterated its quantitative easing agenda despite increasingly hawkish comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve in light of inflation. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) With growing concerns about global inflation, the Japanese equity market saw a return to a search for yield, providing additional support for higher income generating securities, including JREITs. As Orix JREIT outperformed the Real Estate Index during the Reporting Period on the back of robust leasing operations from its quality portfolio of assets, we decided to take profits in the stock during the Reporting Period and reinvest the capital into other opportunities in Japan’s real estate market. |
| Similarly, Nomura Real Estate Master Fund (“Nomura”), a diversified JREIT owning Tokyo prime office, residential and logistics properties, was one of the top detractors from the Fund’s results in 2017 and was one of its top positive contributors to its results during the Reporting Period. Its stock performed well on the back of strong leasing activity across its residential and logistics warehouse properties. However, we believe its growth ahead may be largely dependent on asset purchases from third parties and from parent Nomura Group, hence increasing equity issuance and, potentially, dilution risk. As such, we sold the Fund’s position, taking profits in Nomura during the Reporting Period. |
| | Mitsui Fudosan, Japan’s second largest property developer, was another top positive contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Shares of the company rose due largely to active office redevelopment and improved residential development margins. However, we believe maintaining high earnings growth could become challenging for Mitsui Fudosan going forward. Additionally, the developer’s new office project completions may incur higher than consensus expected opening costs, as indicated by its management team’s modest guidance during full-year 2017 results announced in May 2018. After the company’s shares performed strongly following a small-scale buyback in May 2018, we decided to trim the position, taking profits and redeploying the capital to other investments within Japan. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Which positions detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | A position in Klepierre, a French REIT owning shopping centers across Europe and office properties in Paris, was the largest detractor from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The company announced an offer to purchase Hammerson during the Reporting Period for 50% cash and 50% shares. Hammerson is a U.K.-based REIT that owns, manages and develops retail destinations in the U.K., France and Ireland. Shares of Klepierre struggled following Hammerson’s swift rejection of the proposal, as it found Klepierre’s bid to be highly opportunistic. The market reacted negatively to this development, as the tone of Hammerson’s response suggested the parties were not close to a deal, creating uncertainty for Klepierre’s next move. In our view, this reaction by the market was largely overblown, as the company’s fundamentals remained unchanged from the rejected bid. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed increasing net rental incomes combined with decreasing cost of debt may well allow Klepierre to continue net current cash flow growth as 2018 progresses. We maintained the holding in the Fund but trimmed the Fund’s position during the Reporting Period to reduce its exposure to the stock. |
| CK Asset Holdings is a large cap, blue chip, diversified real estate developer from Hong Kong managing what we see as a robust balance sheet supported by its management team’s active asset monetization strategy during the past two years. The company has diversified its income stream to include recurrent non-property income to support high, predictable dividend payments for its shareholders. However, CK Asset Holdings underperformed the Real Estate Index during the Reporting Period largely due to persistent concerns about U.S.-China trade relations and the potentially resulting impact on the property market in Hong Kong. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to view the company positively given what we saw as its attractive valuation, strong balance sheet, experienced management team and high quality asset portfolio. |
| | City Developments, a Singapore-based diversified real estate developer with exposure to the condominium, hotel and office subsectors, was also a top detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Market fundamentals largely remained intact, with completion rates estimated to remain below the historical average for the next few years and continued residential destocking driven by “en bloc” sales. (In real estate, an en bloc sale, or collective sale, occurs when the there is a sale of two or more property units to a common developer.) However, recent cooling measures by the Singaporean government may have the potential to reduce land banking an en-bloc participation by developers. Lowered loan-to-value ratios for mortgages could also reduce the pace of demand for residential property going forward, in our view, at the same time introducing new pricing pressures. We believe City Developments remains well positioned to weather market volatility due to what we consider to be its complementary and diversified asset base, strong project launch pipeline and further initiatives to unlock asset value. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund did not use derivatives during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We established a Fund position in GLP J-REIT, a large-scale logistics warehouse manager, during the Reporting Period. In line with other logistics peers, GLP J-REIT had underperformed the broader JREIT sector and began to trade at what we viewed as a relatively inexpensive valuation due to concerns about new supply over the past two years. In our view, demand for modern logistics facilities remains strong, as e-commerce continues to penetrate the retail landscape, albeit at a slower rate than in other developed countries. We believe supply concerns have already been priced in, and physical supply risk is likely to recede going forward should demand remain robust. We believe GLP J-REIT remains well positioned to benefit from this environment, as it has, in our view, one of the best management teams and high asset quality. |
| We initiated a Fund position in Gecina, an owner and operator of offices in France. We decided to purchase the stock due to the company’s high exposure to the greater Paris region, as the French office market has benefited from low vacancies and from an improving French economy, led by the reforms its country’s President is proposing. Gecina has acquired EuroSIIC, another Parisian office company. We feel the acquisition is accretive and enables Gecina to scale efficiently in its core market, which appears to be at the beginning of a rental upcycle. |

| | Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, a Canadian company which focuses on owning, developing and operating shopping centers. The company announced a strategic plan to sell several billion Canadian dollars’ worth of lower quality assets to redeploy capital into stock buybacks and residential development projects. We viewed this announcement negatively due to concerns around its execution and pricing of its plan, as cap rates have increased for lower quality retail assets. Additionally, we believe the company’s ability to grow earnings over the next two to three years may be limited as RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust is placing proceeds into low yielding development. |
| We sold the Fund’s position in Nippon Building Fund, a large cap JREIT focused on office properties. Its share price performed strongly during the Reporting Period on the back of diminishing impact from the Financial Services Agency’s warning on monthly dividend-paying investment products, which caused sector outflows in 2017. (The Financial Services Agency is a Japanese government entity responsible for overseeing banking, insurance and securities and exchange.) Furthermore, the Tokyo office market remained rather stable, in our view, throughout the first calendar quarter of 2018, notably recovering from three years ago. The 2017 underperformance of Nippon Building Fund shares, along with that of the broader sector, gave rise to what we saw as an inexpensive valuation at the start of 2018, leading to a share price recovery through the first quarter. As such, we exited the Fund’s position in the stock to take profits. |
Q | | Were there any changes made in the Fund’s investment strategy during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking securities rather than on making regional, country or subsector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by |
| overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its regional or subsector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of real estate securities’ appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to Asia ex-Japan and to the Pacific increased relative to the Real Estate Index, and its exposure to Europe ex-U.K. decreased relative to the Real Estate Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | From a regional perspective, the Fund was underweighted relative to the Real Estate Index in the U.K. and Pacific and was rather neutrally weighted to the remaining regions of the Real Estate Index at the end of June 2018. |
| More specifically, from a country perspective, the Fund was overweighted relative to the Real Estate Index in France, Spain, Ireland and Hong Kong and was underweighted relative to the Real Estate Index in Germany, Sweden and the U.K. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted compared to the Real Estate Index in the other constituent countries of the Real Estate Index at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed international REITs could continue to generate positive returns given robust demand and improving sentiment across most subsectors and geographies. Reported GDP in countries like Japan and Germany surpassed consensus estimates during the Reporting Period, while trade and consumption in continental Europe, the U.K. and China stayed strong and improved. Furthermore, business spending and sentiment appeared to be picking up across industries, including financials, hospitality and information technology, in the absence of wage pressures. We view these trends as indications of ongoing growth potential in demand for real estate space. Anticipating an eventual interest rate hike by several developed market central banks, many international REITs have also locked in low-cost debt funding whenever available and have generally maintained what we consider to be strong balance sheets in the wake of the 2008 recession. Despite some rise in yields at both the short-term and long-term ends of the rate curves for a few major countries, we observed the funding environment for REITs remained quite open and inexpensive relative to the consensus outlook of the long-term cash yield from REITs’ underlying assets. In our view, the favorable environment at the end of the Reporting Period may allow REITs to deploy capital toward high quality projects to potentially drive future growth. |
| Overall, we believe international REITs can continue to offer attractive liquidity and risk-adjusted total returns given the yield, growth, diversification and inflation-hedging benefits the asset class has historically exhibited. On a stock level, we believe opportunities abound, as various property subsectors and geographies could offer wide dispersions in returns. As |

| fundamental, bottom-up investors, we see opportunities beyond the headline risks associated with certain regions and intend to continue to focus our approach on those companies that have well-capitalized balance sheets and that possess quality attributes, such as a robust business model, a high quality asset exposure and a strong management team with a sound reinvestment strategy. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 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 1.28%, 0.93%, 1.42%, 1.22%, 1.32%, 1.11% and 1.49%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.60% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index (the “Wilshire Index”) during the same period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of 8.33%. This compares to the 9.01% cumulative total return of the Wilshire Index during the same time period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the U.S. real estate securities market as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The U.S. real estate securities market, as represented by the Wilshire Index, posted positive absolute returns during the Reporting Period but lagged the broad U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, which was up 2.65% for the same period. |
| For the first quarter of 2018, the Wilshire Index decreased 7.42%. Primary drivers were rising interest rates and tax reform concerns. Overall, rising interest rates hurt the U.S. real estate market, as the increased cost of capital negatively affected real estate company operators’ margins and free cash flow/funds from operations. Sentiment around tax reform legislation also hurt, as real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) were largely viewed as non-beneficiaries of the new law, as REITs do not pay a corporate tax. Sub-sectors underpinned by secular growth trends and e-commerce disruption beneficiaries, such as industrials, towers and digital storage, outperformed the Wilshire Index, while those viewed as most interest rate sensitive, such as health care, or as negatively impacted by e-commerce disruption, such as retail, underperformed the Wilshire Index during the quarter. A couple of high profile store closures, such as Toys R Us, particularly weighed on market sentiment. Conversely, the industrial sub-sector benefited from such disruption, as there is growing demand for quicker shipments of goods, requiring locations near city centers, which tend to be more expensive and higher quality real estate. (Disruption, in this context, displaces an existing market, industry or technology and produces something new and more efficient and worthwhile, at once destructive and creative.) |
| | The Wilshire Index increased 9.74% during the second quarter of 2018. Following a tough first calendar quarter, U.S. REITs enjoyed a strong rebound, outperforming most major equity indices for the first time since the second quarter of 2016. Each subsector within the Wilshire Index posted positive absolute returns during the quarter, compared with mixed results in the quarter prior and in 2017. A primary driver for the strong performance was increased activity in the mergers and acquisitions space, which provided upward pressure on valuations. A solid U.S. economy off the back of the recently enacted U.S. tax reform legislation and some stability in the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) outlook for interest rate increases further buoyed the U.S. real estate market in these months. The hotel sub-sector was an especially strong performer during the quarter, given a combination of some newsworthy mergers and acquisitions, such as that of Lasalle Hotel Properties and Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, and the improving global economy fueling increases in corporate travel demand. |
| For the Reporting Period overall, the strongest subsectors in the Wilshire Index were self-storage, triple net and hotel. Conversely, the technology, retail and office subsectors were the weakest performers within the Wilshire Index during the Reporting Period. (Triple net properties are typically |
17
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| single-tenant retail properties leased to tenants with high credit ratings on “net, net, net” terms, meaning the tenant is responsible for real estate taxes, insurance, and all maintenance.) All that said, fundamentals within the U.S. real estate market generally remained strong. Price/funds from operations ratios decreased, thus presenting more attractive valuations for the market as a whole, in our view. At the same time, funds from operations growth is expected to accelerate through 2018, according to Barclays Research. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund underperformed the return of the Wilshire Index. Weak stock selection in the residential and health care subsectors detracted most. Contributing most positively to the Fund’s relative results was effective individual stock selection in the retail and hotel subsectors. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s weakest-performing individual holdings? |
A | | Essex Property Trust, a REIT that invests in apartment communities primarily on the west coast of the U.S., was the top detractor from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period given the Fund’s underweight in the strongly performing name. Shares of the REIT increased following a solid fourth quarter 2017 earnings release that was in line with market expectations. The Fund was underweight Essex Property Trust because we believed other names in the apartment industry offered more attractive valuations. While demand remained robust on the U.S.’ west coast, we ultimately increased the Fund’s position in the name, bringing the position to an overweight relative to the Wilshire Index by the end of the Reporting Period. |
| Similarly, Welltower, a U.S. health care REIT operating a mix of senior housing, medical office buildings and skilled nursing facilities, was also a top detractor from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Its stock appreciated following a solid quarterly earnings report at the end of April 2018, as the company exceeded market expectations on projected revenues. The Fund’s relative performance was negatively affected by being underweight the name. |
| Federal Realty Investment Trust, a REIT that engages in the ownership, management, acquisition and redevelopment of high quality retail focused properties, also detracted from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Shares in the company struggled at the start of 2018, as they were affected by the negative sentiment surrounding the retail subsector. Investors pointed toward muted same-store net operating income growth as a major concern and potential headwind for the company. Despite the concerns, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on the company given what we see as its high quality portfolio of assets, which we believe should be insulated from online disruption moving forward. Also, at the end of the Reporting Period, the stock was trading at a valuation we felt was attractive relative to the high quality assets in its property portfolio. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings? |
A | | Chesapeake Lodging Trust, an owner of upscale hotels in key gateway markets in the U.S., was a top positive contributor to the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Following disappointing performance in 2017, a stronger economic backdrop coupled with positive 2018 guidance led shares of Chesapeake Lodging Trust to appreciate. At the end of the Reporting Period, we had high conviction in the company’s strategy and its assets during the remainder of the hotel cycle, given its roughly 20% exposure to the San Francisco hotel market. In our view, this may well continue to be one of the top markets in the U.S. during the next several years, especially with the reopening of the Moscone Convention Center, which should help further fuel demand in the area. Lastly, we believed Chesapeake Lodging Trust’s high quality assets and relatively small size continued to make the company a compelling candidate for acquisition. |
| La Quinta Holdings, an owner and manager of hotel chains across the U.S., was also a top contributor to Fund returns during the Reporting Period. Shares of the company increased after the announcement that La Quinta Holdings would be selling its franchise and operations to Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. Following the news, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in La Quinta Holdings in favor of opportunities where we saw greater risk-adjusted return potential. |
| | Macerich Company, an owner and operator of regional shopping malls in the U.S., was another top contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. In our view, investors grew to appreciate the announcement that hedge fund Third Point Management initiated a 5% position in the company. Macerich Company’s shares also appreciated following the announcement regarding the sale of a non-core office building in Chicago. We ultimately decided to exit the Fund’s position to invest in opportunities where we saw greater risk-adjusted return potential. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund did not use derivatives during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we established a Fund position in Duke Realty, an owner of industrial properties across the U.S. In our view, its shares were trading at compelling valuations following price weakness relative to other industrial names. Additionally, in our view, secular drivers of e-commerce have led to strong demand, which is still ahead of supply, especially in its core markets. Furthermore, we believe Duke Realty offers an attractive dividend yield, and we are positive on the company’s management team. |
| We initiated a Fund position in Digital Realty Trust, a digital center REIT. Rising interest rates led data centers to come under pressure given the subsector’s capital intensive businesses and development pipelines as well as floating rate debt that has been magnified by worsening fundamentals within the subsector. Despite the pullback in its performance, we believed such weakness created an attractive entry point into Digital Realty Trust. We believed the REIT offered favorable fundamentals, a strong balance sheet and potential to benefit from improving leasing following a soft fourth quarter of 2017. Overall, we also remain positive on data centers, as we believe demand is likely to continue to be driven from enterprise outsourcing and cloud growth. Conversely, the Fund’s most significant sales during the Reporting Period were those of La Quinta Holdings and Macerich Company, each already mentioned. |
Q | | Were there any changes made in the Fund’s investment strategy during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking securities rather than on making real estate subsector bets. We seek to outpace the benchmark index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those that we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its real estate subsector weights are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of real estate securities’ appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to the residential, diversified and health care subsectors increased relative to the Wilshire Index and its exposure to the retail, hotel and industrial subsectors decreased relative to the Wilshire Index. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | From a subsector perspective, the Fund had overweighted exposures compared to the Wilshire Index in the office, residential and industrial subsectors at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund was underweighted compared to the Wilshire Index in the self-storage subsector and was rather neutrally weighted in the diversified, health care, technology, retail and hotel subsectors within the Wilshire Index. The Fund had no exposure to the triple net subsector at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed U.S. REITs could continue to generate positive returns given reasonable demand in most subsectors. In our view, the asset class has the potential to generate solid single-digit returns for calendar year 2018, driven by a combination of yield, modest funds from operations growth, and multiple expansion in certain subsectors. While REITs may lag other cyclical sectors, we believe they may well outperform more defensive equities. We believe the demand picture remains robust in light of healthy global economic growth. While there are pockets of increasing supply, the overall real estate supply response continues to be rational, in our view, which means occupancy rates should continue to remain strong. We believe this scenario will likely remain so due to rising construction costs and long construction development delivery timelines. While interest rates are widely anticipated to increase, the overall low interest rate environment, coupled with strong economic growth, should continue to benefit REITs, in our opinion. Additionally, we believe real estate may continue to be supported by large, raised but not yet funded capital in the private market, particularly in subsectors or geographies where the discount to private equity has reached historically high levels, such as what we have witnessed in the U.S. retail REIT space. As a consequence of monetary policy normalizing, correlations have dropped to levels we have not seen since prior to the global financial crisis. Dispersion of returns in the asset class were particularly wide in 2017, in our view. |
| We believe this backdrop should play into our strengths of stock picking as 2018 progresses. Overall, we believe REITs may continue to provide investors with attractive risk-adjusted returns, relative to fixed income in particular, given the asset class’ potential yield, growth, diversification and inflation hedge benefits. |

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 United States (“U.S.”) real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
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
40
GOLDMAN SACHS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUNDS

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 |
Global Real Estate Securities and Real Estate Securities | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
International Real Estate Securities | | | | Semi-Annually | | Annually |
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of 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.
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 U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Private Investments — Private investments may include, but are not limited to, investments in private equity or debt instruments. The investment manager estimates the fair value of private investments based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in underlying investments or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in equity or debt capital markets, and changes in current and projected financial ratios or cash flows.
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.
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) |
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 Plans | | | 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/or 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 June 30, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Front End Sales Charge | | | Contingent Deferred Sales Charge | |
Fund | | | | Class A | | | Class C | |
Global Real Estate Securities | | | | $ | 303 | | | $ | — | |
International Real Estate Securities | | | | | 4 | | | | 3 | |
Real Estate Securities | | | | | 561 | | | | 3 | |
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.
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 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2019, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. Prior to April 30, 2018, the Other Expense limitation was 0.034% for the Global Real Estate Securities Fund. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of June 30, 2018, the Funds participated in a $770,000,000 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 June 30, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to May 1, 2018 the facility was $1,100,000,000. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.

5. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended June 30, 2018, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Global Real Estate Securities | | | | $ | 142,311,419 | | | $ | 141,765,327 | |
International Real Estate Securities | | | | | 30,875,787 | | | | 45,668,207 | |
Real Estate Securities | | | | | 58,879,642 | | | | 92,208,913 | |
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Global Real Estate Securities Fund 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 Fund’s securities lending procedures, the Fund receives cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at 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 Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Fund or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the 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 Global Real Estate Securities Fund invests 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 Fund whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL will indemnify the Fund by paying the Fund 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 Fund’s loaned securities were all subject to enforceable Securities Lending Agreements and the value of the collateral was at least equal to the value of the cash received. The amounts of the Fund’s overnight and continuous agreements represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of June 30, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Each of the Global Real Estate Securities Fund and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

As of June 30, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Global Real Estate Securities | | | International Real Estate Securities | | | Real Estate Securities | |
Tax cost | | $ | 323,434,662 | | | $ | 105,507,696 | | | $ | 169,506,902 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 18,832,960 | | | | 7,003,451 | | | | 70,852,999 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (8,326,312 | ) | | | (6,170,186 | ) | | | (2,930,083 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | $ | 10,506,648 | | | $ | 833,265 | | | $ | 67,922,916 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, differences related to the tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies and real estate investment trust investments.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Foreign 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.
Industry Concentration Risk — Concentrating Fund investments in a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same industry or group of industries will subject a 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.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Non-Diversification Risk — The Funds are non-diversified, meaning that they are permitted to invest a larger percentage of their assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, a Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
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 June 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 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 January 1, 2018 through June 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 June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 74 out of 365 days. The Class P example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 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 fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

GOLDMAN SACHS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund, and Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2019 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), a benchmark performance index, and (in the case of the International Real Estate Securities Fund) a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser; and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | | the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (e) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | | the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (ii) | | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | | to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser; |
| (f) | | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (g) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (h) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
55
GOLDMAN SACHS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (i) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
| (j) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, (in the case of the Global Real Estate Securities Fund and International Real Estate Securities Fund) securities lending, portfolio trading, distribution and other services; |
| (k) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | | information regarding commissions paid by the Fund and broker oversight, an update on the Investment Adviser’s soft dollars practices, other information regarding portfolio trading, and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution; |
| (m) | | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (n) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (o) | | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and (except the Global Real Estate Securities Fund) ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using
56
GOLDMAN SACHS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing the International Real Estate Securities Fund’s performance to that of a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.
The Trustees noted that the Global Real Estate Securities Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. They observed that the International Real Estate Securities Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one- and three-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the five- and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees considered that the International Real Estate Securities Fund has a “global” peer group and benchmark that contemplates investments in U.S. and non-U.S. securities, whereas the Fund invests only in non-U.S. securities. They also noted that the International Real Estate Securities Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in the first half of 2018. The Trustees considered that the Real Estate Securities Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the five- and ten-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the one- and three-year periods, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency, custody and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
The Trustees noted that each Fund’s management fee breakpoint schedule had been reduced at all asset levels since the Management Agreement was last approved. In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be
57
GOLDMAN SACHS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Global Real Estate Securities Fund | | | International Real Estate Securities Fund | | | Real Estate Securities Fund | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.93 | % | | | 0.95 | % | | | 0.87 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.84 | | | | 0.95 | | | | 0.78 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.80 | | | | 0.86 | | | | 0.74 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.78 | | | | 0.81 | | | | 0.73 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.76 | | | | 0.80 | | | | 0.71 | |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) research received by the Investment Adviser from broker-dealers in exchange for executing certain transactions on behalf of the Funds; (d) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (e) (in the case of the Global Real Estate Securities Fund and International Real Estate Securities Fund) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (h) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (i) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (j) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (f) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain
58

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; (g) the Funds’ ability to participate in the securities lending program administered by GSAL, as measured by the revenue received by the Funds in connection with the program; and (h) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2019.

Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to deliver long-term total return consistent with investment results that approximate the return and risk patterns of a diversified universe of hedge funds.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies (“QIS”) Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 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 0.54%, 0.23%, 0.73%, 0.63%, 0.33% and 0.73%, respectively. These returns compare to the -0.85% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (net of management, administrative and performance/incentive fees) (the “HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index”)1, during the same time period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of 0.10%. This compares to the -0.76% cumulative total return of the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index during the same time period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the hedge fund asset class as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Hedge funds, as measured by the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, overall posted losses, albeit modest, during the Reporting Period, following their strongest calendar year performance in four years in 2017. Event driven hedge funds were weakest, with the HFRX Event Driven Index returning -4.49%. Global macro hedge funds also posted negative returns, with the HFRX Macro/CTA Index returning -1.81% for the Reporting Period. Relative value hedge funds performed best during the Reporting Period, with the HFRX Relative Value Arbitrage Index returning 2.20%. Equity long/short hedge funds, as measured by the HFRX Equity Hedge Index generated a modestly positive return of 0.24%. |
| As the Reporting Period began, hedge funds were up overall, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index gaining 2.45% for the first month of 2018. Global equities rallied in January, particularly in the U.S., as the S&P 500 Index posted a gain of 5.73% amidst a backdrop of strong earnings growth. Global government bond yields edged higher toward late January. The U.S. dollar depreciated against many global currencies during the month, including the British pound sterling, euro and Japanese yen. Commodities gained broadly across energy, precious metals and agriculture sectors. Hedge funds gained across styles in January, led by global macro hedge funds. Hedge funds were then down overall in February 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning -2.42% for the month. Global equities declined sharply on the back of market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes, which stoked a sharp rise in volatility. U.S. government bond yields rose during the month, while European government bond yields declined modestly. The U.S. dollar was mixed against global currencies, and agricultural commodities posted gains, while energy and metals declined. Global macro hedge funds, event driven hedge funds and equity long/short hedge funds overall lost ground; relative value hedge funds eked out a modest gain in February. Hedge funds overall posted losses in March 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning -0.98%. Equities were down across geographies on the back of escalating trade tensions and tariffs. Government bond yields declined overall for the month, and the U.S. dollar was mixed against global currencies. Hedge funds were down |

| across all four major styles in March 2018, with event driven hedge funds posting the largest declines. |
| Hedge funds were slightly up overall in April 2018. The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returned 0.09% for the month. Equities were generally up in April across geographies, albeit mixed across sectors in the U.S. Government bond yields increased overall; oil prices rose; and the U.S. dollar strengthened against global currencies. Hedge funds were mixed across styles in April 2018, with macro, relative value and event driven managers posting modest gains for the month, and equity long/short managers posting modest declines. Hedge funds were slightly up overall in May 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning 0.26% for the month. Equities were mixed across geographies, with U.S. equities posting gains on the back of strong economic data, while European and emerging market equities declined against a backdrop of geopolitical and trade uncertainty. Government bond yields declined in May 2018; commodities generally posted gains; and the U.S. dollar strengthened against global currencies. For the month, relative value, equity long/short and event driven hedge fund indices posted modest gains, while the macro index was slightly down. Hedge funds were slightly down overall in June 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning -0.19% for the month. Equities were mixed in June across geographies, with U.S. equities posting modest gains, while emerging market equities declined sharply against a backdrop of escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) increased its targeted federal funds rate in June, its second increase of the calendar year; the U.S. dollar gained against most global currencies; and commodities delivered mixed performance across sectors. For the month of June 2018, hedge funds were mixed across styles, with equity long/short and event driven hedge funds losing ground overall, and macro and relative value hedge funds as a whole posting modest gains. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We believe hedge funds derive a large portion of their returns from exposure to sources of market risk. The Fund uses a quantitative methodology in combination with a qualitative overlay to seek to identify the Market Exposures, or sources of market risk, that approximate the return and risk patterns of specific hedge fund indices. The Fund’s quantitative methodology seeks to allocate the Fund’s exposure to each Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy such that the Fund’s investment results approximate the return and risk patterns of a diversified universe of hedge funds. During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Equity Long/Short and Event Driven Hedge Fund Sub-Strategies contributed positively to performance on an absolute basis, while its Macro Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy detracted from absolute performance. The Fund’s Relative Value Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy had a rather neutral effect on performance during the Reporting Period. |
| Among the four Sub-Strategies, the Fund’s Equity Long/Short Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy contributed most positively to the Fund’s absolute return during the Reporting Period. Long exposure to single-name stocks to which hedge funds had large investments (based on 13F filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”)) and technology stocks contributed the most. Conversely, long exposure to emerging market equities and short exposure to U.S. growth equities detracted from results. |
| The Fund’s Event Driven Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy also contributed to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, with the strongest performance from long exposure to U.S. small cap equities and senior bank loans. The Fund’s Event Driven S&P 500 put writing strategy and long exposure to U.S. high yield credit detracted most from results during the Reporting Period. (Put options are most commonly used in the stock market to protect against the decline of the price of a stock below a specified price. If the price of the stock declines below the specified price of the put option, the owner/buyer of the put has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the asset at the specified price, while the seller of the put has the obligation to purchase the asset at the strike price if the owner uses the right to do so (the owner/buyer is said to exercise the put or put option).) |
| The Fund’s Macro Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy detracted from the Fund’s return on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period. Weak performance from the trend-following strategy outweighed gains from long exposure to a broad commodity index. |
| The Fund’s Relative Value Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy had a rather neutral effect on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The Relative Value S&P 500 put writing strategy as well as long exposure to European high yield credit detracted from the Sub-Strategy’s results, while its convertible arbitrage strategy and long exposure to senior bank loans contributed positively. |
| In addition to the asset classes mentioned above, the Fund was invested in a variety of developed and emerging market equities, short-term interest rates, government bonds, |

| currencies, credit, real estate and commodities during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund used exchange-traded index futures contracts to gain exposure to U.S. large-cap and small-cap equities, non-U.S. developed market equities including those in Europe, the U.K. and Japan, emerging markets equities, commodities, government bonds and short-term interest rates. The Fund used currency forward contracts to gain exposure to select developed and emerging market currencies of non-U.S. developed markets. The Fund used total return swaps to gain exposure to U.S. large cap growth and value equities, a broad commodity index, Master Limited Partnerships, and developed market and developed market growth equity indices. The Fund also used listed put options on the S&P 500 Index within the put writing sub-strategies to gain exposure to U.S. large cap equities. Lastly, the Fund used exchange-traded credit default swaps to gain exposure to high yield and investment grade credit markets across the U.S. and Europe. Overall, the use of derivatives had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were there any changes made in the Fund’s investment strategy during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund’s Equity Long/Short Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy was enhanced in May 2018, with the addition of four new market-neutral factors—global long/short growth, global long/short momentum, global long/short quality, and global long/short value. These factors are implemented with long positions in single-name stocks across developed regions in the case of the global long/short momentum, global long/short quality, and global long/short value factors and long exposure to a developed market growth equity index in the case of the long/short growth factor as well as short exposure to broad market indices across all four factors. We believe this enhancement may improve our ability to deliver the risk and return profile of equity long/short hedge fund managers. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had a 47% allocation to the Equity Long/Short Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy, 27% to the Macro Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy, 19% to the Relative Value Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy and 7% to the Event Driven Hedge Fund Sub-Strategy. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy going forward? |
A | | In the coming months, we intend to remain focused on the Fund’s investment objective of seeking to deliver long-term total return consistent with investment results that approximate the return and risk patterns of a diversified universe of hedge funds. We understand that the hedge fund industry is dynamic, and to keep pace, we seek to understand trends in the hedge fund industry by digesting information from a number of sources, including hedge fund return databases, prime brokerage reports, hedge fund consultants, regulatory filings and other public sources. Additionally, we emphasize ongoing research and continued process and model enhancement, which we can implement through our scalable, robust technological platform. |

Goldman Sachs Alternative Premia Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks long-term absolute return.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies (“QIS”) Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Alternative Premia Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 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 -1.57%, -1.91%, -1.32%, -1.44%, -1.60% and -1.33%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.92% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE® Bank of America Merrill Lynch® USD LIBOR 3-Month Constant Maturity Index (the “LIBOR Three-Month Index”). The Fund’s former benchmark, the ICE® BofAML® USD LIBOR One-Month Constant Maturity Index had a cumulative return of 0.86% for the Reporting Period. The Fund’s former secondary benchmark, the Dynamic Allocation Fund Composite Index, composed 60% of the MSCI All Country World Index Investable Market Index (net, unhedged) (“MSCI ACWI IMI”) and 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, hedged) (“Barclays Bond Index”), returned -0.01% during the same period. The MSCI ACWI IMI and Barclays Bond Index posted cumulative total returns of -0.18% and 0.07%, respectively, during the same period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 1.02%. This compares to the -0.49% cumulative total return of the LIBOR Three-Month Index during the same time period. The ICE® BofAML® USD LIBOR One-Month Constant Maturity Index, the Dynamic Allocation Fund Composite Index, the MSCI ACWI IMI and the Barclays Bond Index posted cumulative total returns of 0.39%, -0.76%, -1.42% and 0.23%, respectively, during the same period. |
| We note that the Fund’s benchmark being the LIBOR Three-Month Index is a means of emphasizing that the Fund has an unconstrained strategy. That said, this Fund employs a benchmark agnostic strategy and thus comparisons to a benchmark index are not particularly relevant. |
| The Fund’s overall annualized volatility was 6.01% during the Reporting Period. To compare, the overall annualized volatility of the S&P® 500 Index during the same time period was 16.32%. |
Q | | What were the primary contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance based on your team’s asset allocation decisions during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Overall, the Fund realized negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period. From an asset class perspective, alternative risk premia in equities and commodities detracted the most from performance. (Alternative risk premia are multi-asset, quantitatively driven investment strategies that seek to capture diversified sources of returns.) On the upside, allocations to currency and fixed income premia contributed positively. |
| Many asset classes experienced significant trend reversals during the first quarter of 2018 and the early part of the second quarter of 2018, especially commodities and equities. Therefore, from a style perspective, momentum-typed premia detracted the most from performance. Value-typed premia also detracted from performance, especially within equities. On the other hand, structural-typed premia contributed positively to performance. Carry-typed premia also contributed positively, albeit to a lesser extent. Momentum styles seek to exploit the tendency for recent relative price movements to continue in the near future. Value styles seek to take advantage of the tendency for assets with low or high market prices to revert to their fundamental valuation. Structural styles seek to profit from anomalies or mispricing present in the market. Carry styles seek to capitalize on the tendency for higher yielding assets to outperform lower yielding assets. |
6
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund allocated to alternative risk premia across a range of asset classes, which may include equities, fixed income, credit, currencies and commodities. The Fund used derivative instruments to gain exposure to these asset classes. Instruments traded included foreign exchange forward contracts, options, futures contracts and options and swaps on futures contracts, credit, currency, index, interest rate, and total return swaps. The use of these instruments is integral to the Fund’s current investment strategy, which realized negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | The Fund is a multi-alternative solution that seeks to deliver long-term absolute return differentiated from those returns of core equities and fixed income markets. The Fund maintains a diversified set of exposures across equities, fixed income, currencies, commodities and credit. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained conviction in our diversified approach and intend to continue to manage the Fund consistent with stated objectives. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s diversified alternative investment strategies will cause it to achieve its investment objective. |

GOLDMAN SACHS COMMODITY STRATEGY FUND
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs Commodity Investment Process?
At Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), the goal of our commodity investment process is to provide consistent, strong performance by actively managing our portfolios within a research-intensive, risk-managed framework.
Goldman Sachs’ Commodity Investment Process
Our commodity investment process emphasizes the importance of both short-term, tactical opportunities and long-term investment views. Our team-based approach to managing the Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund ensures continuity and idea sharing among some of the industry’s most experienced fixed income specialists. We pursue strong, consistent performance across commodity markets through:
The Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund primarily gains exposure to the performance of the commodity markets through investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized as a company under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked swaps (which may include total return swaps), as well as other commodity-linked securities and derivative instruments that provide exposure to the performance of the commodities markets, and in fixed income and debt instruments. The Fund’s portfolio is designed to provide exposure that corresponds to the investment return of assets that trade in the commodity markets without direct investment in physical commodities.
The Fund implements enhanced cash strategies that capitalize on GSAM’s global fixed income expertise. The Fixed Income Team will employ the full spectrum of capabilities offered, including bottom-up strategies (credit, mortgages, governments /municipals, high yield, and emerging markets debt) and top-down strategies (duration, cross-sector, currency and country) in an attempt to enhance the return of the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Commodities Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 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 8.85%, 8.44%, 9.01%, 8.97%, 8.69% and 9.01%, respectively. These returns compare to the 10.36% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P GSCI® Total Return Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged, formerly the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index) (the “S&P GSCI®”), during the same period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of 4.61%. This compares to the 5.30% cumulative total return of the S&P GSCI® during the same time period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the commodities markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Commodities markets overall, as measured by the S&P GSCI®, posted solid positive returns during the Reporting Period, though there was great dispersion in returns amongst various individual commodities during the Reporting Period. By comparison to the S&P GSCI® return of 10.36% for the Reporting Period, the S&P 500® Index and the ICE® U.S. Dollar Index (“DXY”) returned 2.65% and 2.74%, respectively.1 |
| During the Reporting Period, commodities markets overall rose on fundamental strength but with geopolitical hindrance and uncertainty surrounding actual and potential tariffs imposed by the U.S. Administration and escalating trade tensions dominating the direction of various commodity prices. Several commodities, such as oil and gold, were also affected as increased concerns of slower European Union and Chinese economic growth, exacerbated by potentially increasing trade frictions, contributed to a stronger U.S. dollar. Against this backdrop, commodity price volatility heightened during the Reporting Period compared to calendar year 2017. |
Q | | Which commodity subsectors were strongest during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The energy component of the S&P GSCI® was strongest and indeed was the only commodity subsector to post a positive absolute return during the Reporting Period, with a gain of 19.7%. Still, there was great dispersion within the subsector. West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil returned 24.9%, and Brent crude oil returned 23.1%. Natural gas returned 0.5%. |
| Oil prices rallied to start the year 2018, driven by a tighter market due to ongoing compliance with production cuts by Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and unexpected disruptions in key pipelines globally. Prices were supported by a firm U.S. stance on Iran sanctions and uncertainty surrounding the June 2018 OPEC summit. Although the summit ended with the appearance of a near-term ramping up of production, conflicting statements helped oil prices sustain at higher levels as did lower production expectations from Venezuela and Libya. WTI further benefited toward the end of the Reporting Period from reduced crude flows to Cushing, Oklahoma, caused by an outage in the largest producer of crude oil in Canada and from the U.S. Administration warning companies from buying Iranian oil. Brent crude performed even better than WTI crude in the last months of the Reporting Period due to high production and inventory levels for WTI crude oil compared with Brent crude oil, which had been moderated |

Q | | Which commodity subsectors were weakest during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The industrial metals subsector was the weakest performer during the Reporting Period. The industrial metals subsector, as measured by the S&P GSCI® Industrial Metals Index, returned -5.7% for the Reporting Period overall. Industrial metals moved lower as the threat of tariffs and trade wars raised concerns about demand out of China for copper and other metals. Of the industrial metals, all posted negative returns, with aluminum, nickel and lead in particular hurt by a rising U.S. dollar. Nickel was the single exception, posting double-digit positive returns. |
| Precious metals similarly posted negative returns, with the precious metals subsector of the S&P GSCI® returning -4.7% during the Reporting Period. Precious metals were particularly affected by rising U.S. Treasury yields, which reduced the relative appeal of gold and silver, each a non-yielding asset. The increase in the DYX during the Reporting Period also dulled demand for gold, a U.S.-dollar denominated metal. |
| The agriculture component of the S&P GSCI® was also weak, returning -3.3% during the Reporting Period. Still, grains prices were mixed. Soybean prices fell sharply on the back of record supply expectations in the U.S., with a healthy harvest in 2017 and a healthy planting season year to date through June 30, 2018. Also, tensions in the trade relationship between China and the U.S. led to uncertainty about whether China, one of the largest buyers and consumers of U.S. soybeans, would purchase the grain in the fall. Wheat prices, however, rallied on reduced planting acreage and poor growing conditions globally. Outside of the grains, sugar, coffee and corn each posted negative returns during the Reporting Period, while cotton and cocoa generated solid positive returns. Cocoa was the best performing commodity in the entirety of the S&P GSCI®, benefiting from Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana announcing plans to work together to strengthen the cocoa market and set price floors to better manage global prices, which had been weighed down over the past two years by higher than expected levels of production. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund generated solid positive absolute returns but underperformed the S&P GSCI® during the Reporting Period. The Fund generally matched the exposures of the S&P GSCI® with no material deviations via commodity index-linked swaps. However, we did maintain a deferred WTI crude oil position that detracted from relative performance as oil markets rallied. This was the main driver of deviations in the Fund’s performance from the S&P GSCI® during the Reporting Period. Our enhanced cash management strategy added value, albeit modest, during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s enhanced roll-timing strategies impact performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Our enhanced roll-timing strategies, implemented via exposure to commodity index-linked swaps, detracted from returns for the Reporting Period overall. We employ an approach whereby we do not take active views on individual commodities but rather gain Fund exposure to commodities through investments whose performance is linked to commodity indices. |
| We often implement commodity roll-timing strategies by deviating from the S&P GSCI® roll convention, which typically calls for rolling forward exposure at the front, or near-month, end of the futures curve on a monthly basis. The roll occurs during business days 5 through 9. To the extent our team believes fundamental or technical developments will impact the futures roll-timing decision, we will incorporate those views into the portfolio by electing to roll positions earlier, later, forward or in different weights versus the S&P GSCI® roll. However, through most of the Reporting Period, we maintained the Fund’s position along with the S&P GSCI® in the front month across the stack of commodities curves, a position implemented toward the end of 2016. Since the front month contracts are more sensitive to market dynamics, the Fund’s positions reflected our bullish view on commodity markets. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we had implemented a deferred WTI crude oil position reflecting our views that the U.S. market would see greater pressure relative to global markets, a position we maintained through the Reporting Period. This position detracted from relative returns. |
Q | | How did you implement the Fund’s enhanced cash management strategy? |
A | | In addition to seeking value through management of the commodities portion of the Fund’s portfolio, we also attempt to add a modest amount of excess return through thoughtful management of collateral held in the Fund. The cash portion |
13
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| of the Fund’s portfolio is typically allocated to high-grade collateral that includes U.S. Treasury securities, agency debentures, mortgage-backed securities and short-term fixed income instruments. During the Reporting Period, we favored high quality government and agency securities for the Fund’s collateral allocation. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As mentioned earlier in some detail, the Fund used commodity index-linked total return swaps in implementing our enhanced roll-timing strategies in order to gain exposure to the commodities markets. In implementing our enhanced cash management strategy, the Fund used futures, options, interest rate swaps and forward sales contracts, which are agency mortgage-backed derivatives used in purchasing a future issuance of agency mortgage-backed securities. The use of these instruments is integral to the Fund’s investment strategy, which, overall, realized positive absolute returns during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did you make any changes in the Fund’s strategy or allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We did not make any significant changes in the Fund’s strategy or allocations during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was, for the most part, positioned along with S&P GSCI® in the front month across the stack of commodities curves, except for the deferred exposure to WTI crude oil. The Fund held exposure to the commodities underlying the S&P GSCI® through customized swaps in the Subsidiary. (The Subsidiary has the same objective as the Fund but unlike the Fund may invest without limitation in commodity index-linked securities, such as swaps and futures that provide exposure to the performance of the commodity markets.) |
| The cash portion of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated across various fixed income sectors, with an emphasis on the higher quality, lower volatility segments of the market, such as U.S. government and government-sponsored bonds. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s view and strategy going forward? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we were bullish on crude oil heading into the second half of 2018. OPEC had decided during the Reporting Period to lift crude production starting on July 1, 2018, after reducing output since the start of 2017. However, in our view, such production increases are likely to be offset by potential supply disruptions and minimal spare capacity in global oil inventories. The pace of U.S. shale oil production increases has exceeded market expectations and are likely to move higher with prices above $60 per barrel, in our opinion. Yet, this production increase has been paired with constrained pipeline capacity. |
| We held a bearish view of grains at the end of the Reporting Period, as key markets remained well supplied with healthy global inventories. The strong harvest of 2017 in the U.S. left inventories elevated. However, the market was pricing in, at the end of the Reporting Period, material weather premiums, as we head into the South American harvest. |
| We were slightly bearish on industrials metals broadly, and on copper in particular, heading into the second half of 2018, after a disappointing first half due to concerns around the near-term growth prospects of China and amid rising trade tensions with the U.S. As for the precious metals, we believe gold prices are likely to remain suppressed unless or until the U.S. dollar weakens versus other major currencies. |
| Irrespective of directionality, we believe the market will continue to hold opportunities for the active, relative value investor. |

Goldman Sachs Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks to generate long-term absolute return.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Managed Futures Strategy Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 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 R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -3.20%, -3.54%, -3.14%, -3.16% and -3.35%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.86% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE® Bank of America Merrill Lynch® USD LIBOR One-Month Constant Maturity Index (the “LIBOR One-Month Index”), during the same time period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of -3.50%. This compares to the 0.39% cumulative total return of the LIBOR One-Month Index during the same time period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 shares generated a cumulative total return of -1.54%. This compares to the 0.32% cumulative total return of the LIBOR One-Month Index during the same time period. |
| We note that the Fund’s benchmark being the LIBOR One-Month Index is a means of emphasizing that the Fund has an unconstrained strategy. That said, this Fund employs a benchmark agnostic strategy and thus comparisons to a benchmark index are not particularly relevant. |
| The Fund’s overall annualized volatility was 7.50% during the Reporting Period, while the overall annualized volatility of the S&P® 500 Index during the same time period was 16.32%. |
Q | | What were the primary contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund implements a trend-following strategy that takes long and/or short positions in a wide range of asset classes, including equities, fixed income and currencies, among others, to seek long-term absolute return. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of equities, equity index futures, bonds, bond futures, equity swaps, interest rate swaps, currency forwards and non-deliverable forwards, options, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and structured securities. As a result of the Fund’s use of derivatives, the Fund may also hold significant amounts of U.S. Treasuries or short-term investments. The Fund’s investments are made without restriction as to issuer capitalization, country, currency, maturity or credit rating. |
| Negative Fund performance for the Reporting Period overall was most concentrated in February and May 2018, as the Fund was down by more than 2% in each of those two months. On the upside, the Fund posted strong positive performance in January 2018, with the Fund gaining 4.18% in that month. |
| During the Reporting Period, long exposures to developed market currencies and to emerging market equities were the largest asset class-level detractors from the Fund’s returns. Geopolitical uncertainty in the emerging markets and U.S. interest rate strength edged the U.S. dollar higher against global currencies, causing the Fund’s long positions in developed market currencies to detract, especially long positions in the Norwegian krone and New Zealand dollar during the first quarter of 2018. Emerging market equities experienced strong trend reversals due to geopolitical uncertainty around the U.S.-North Korea summit, escalation of trade tensions between the U.S. and China, worker strikes in Brazil, and unfavorable policy implications in the Mexican political elections. As emerging market equities had experienced strong positive trends in 2017, the Fund was long most emerging market equity markets going into 2018. While the Fund’s long positions in emerging market equities contributed positively in January 2018 amid the equity |

| market rally that had begun in the prior year, these positions detracted in February and March 2018, especially long positions in South African and South Korean equities. By the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had switched to an overall net short exposure to emerging market equities. |
| Conversely, allocations to short-term interest rates and opportunistic strategies were the largest asset class-level positive contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. While the Fund held net long exposures in global short-term interest rates, it maintained short exposure to U.S. short-term interest rates in particular. This position contributed positively to the Fund’s performance, as the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised the targeted federal funds rate twice during the Reporting Period—in March and June 2018. The Fund’s opportunistic strategies also contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. Indeed, in early February 2018, global equities reversed course and declined sharply on the back of market speculation of a faster pace of interest rate hikes by the Fed and sudden shifts in the volatility markets. While this sudden trend reversal caused the Fund’s long equity positions to detract from performance, the Fund’s short-term opportunistic strategies led to a reduction in the Fund’s overall long equity position, especially during days that experienced large equity sell offs, contributing positively. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund used derivatives, including futures, swaps and forwards, to implement long and short positions. The Fund invested in equity index futures and currency forwards to achieve exposure to equities (both in U.S. and non-U.S. companies) and currencies (U.S. and non-U.S. currencies), respectively. The Fund used interest rate swaps and currency forwards to achieve exposure to fixed income. We used sector-based commodity-linked structured notes and commodity futures as a means of expressing momentum/trend views on various commodity assets. The use of these instruments is integral to the Fund’s investment strategy and contributed negatively to the Fund’s absolute returns as a whole during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What positioning changes did you make within the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In 2017, equities had rallied, with the S&P 500® Index (Total Return) achieving positive returns for every month of the calendar year. Consequently, the Fund was long developed market equities and emerging market equities throughout the first quarter of 2018. We subsequently reduced the level of long exposures in these two market segments following the global equity sell-off in February 2018. The Fund had short exposure to longer-dated fixed income and long exposure to shorter-dated fixed income. Due to weakness in the U.S. dollar during the latter half of 2017, the Fund was long global currencies throughout the first quarter of 2018. Additionally, the Fund was long commodities overall and specifically long energy (West Texas Intermediate crude oil and Brent crude oil), as oil prices experienced a strong rebound in the latter half of 2017. |
| Throughout the second quarter of 2018, the Fund maintained its long positions in developed market equities, while first reducing its long positions and then switching to short positions in emerging market equities, as trends in those markets reversed. The Fund maintained its short exposure to long-term fixed income and its long exposure to short-term fixed income, with the exception of April 2018 when the Fund had net short exposure to short-term fixed income. Additionally, as the U.S. dollar appreciated against global currencies following the Fed’s interest rate hikes, the Fund switched from long to short positions in global currencies in May 2018. The Fund also reduced its long exposure to commodities throughout the second quarter of 2018 and shifted to short exposure to commodities overall toward the end of June 2018. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | Going into the second half of 2018, we intend to continue to seek to identify price trends in various asset classes over short-, medium- and long-term horizons via a proprietary investment model. Upon identifying a trend in a given instrument or asset, the Fund may take a long or short position in the instrument or asset. Long positions benefit from an increase in price of the underlying instrument or asset, while short positions benefit from a decrease in price of the underlying instrument or asset. The size of the Fund’s position in an instrument or asset is primarily related to the strength of the overall trend identified by the investment model. |
| Going forward, the Fund seeks to maintain economic exposure to commodities markets by investing in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized as a company under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”) and in commodity index-linked notes. The Subsidiary primarily obtains its commodity exposure investing in futures and swaps instruments. The Subsidiary may also hold bonds or |
18
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| other instruments, including fixed income securities, either as investments or to serve as margin or collateral for its swap positions. |
| We continue to believe that the Fund’s trend-following strategy is important because it attempts to adapt to changing markets, seeking what we believe are opportunities with the highest potential for investment and attempting to manage risk when the markets become unstable. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s trend-following strategy will cause it to achieve its investment objective. |

| 4 | | The expense ratios of the Fund, both current (net of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and before waivers (gross of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) are as set forth above according to the most recent publicly available Prospectus for the Fund and may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in the Financial Highlights in this report. Pursuant to contractual arrangements, the Fund’s waivers and/or expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2019, and prior to such date the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. If these arrangements are discontinued in the future, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval. |
| 5 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets. Figures in the above graph may not sum to 100% due to the exclusion of other assets and liabilities. Certain of the Fund’s investments reflected in the table above may be held for the purpose of covering derivative positions as required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or for satisfying certain margin requirements related to such positions. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Index Definitions
HFRX Event Driven Index: Event Driven Managers maintain positions in companies currently or prospectively involved in corporate transactions of a wide variety including but not limited to mergers, restructurings, financial distress, tender offers, shareholder buybacks, debt exchanges, security issuance or other capital structure adjustments. Security types can range from most senior in the capital structure to most junior or subordinated, and frequently involve additional derivative securities. Event Driven exposure includes a combination of sensitivities to equity markets, credit markets and idiosyncratic, company specific developments. Investment theses are typically predicated on fundamental characteristics (as opposed to quantitative), with the realization of the thesis predicated on a specific development exogenous to the existing capital structure.*
HFRX Relative Value Arbitrage Index: Relative Value investment managers maintain positions in which the investment thesis is predicated on realization of a valuation discrepancy in the relationship between multiple securities. Managers employ a variety of fundamental and quantitative techniques to establish investment theses, and security types range broadly across equity, fixed income, derivative or other security types. Fixed income strategies are typically quantitatively driven to measure the existing relationship between instruments and, in some cases, identify attractive positions in which the risk adjusted spread between these instruments represents an attractive opportunity for the investment manager. Relative Value position may be involved in corporate transactions also, but as opposed to Event Driven exposures, the investment thesis is predicated on realization of a pricing discrepancy between related securities, as opposed to the outcome of the corporate transaction.*
HFRX Equity Hedge Index: Equity Hedge strategies maintain positions both long and short in primarily equity and equity derivative securities. A wide variety of investment processes can be employed to arrive at an investment decision, including both quantitative and fundamental techniques; strategies can be broadly diversified or narrowly focused on specific sectors and can range broadly in terms of levels of net exposure, leverage employed, holding period, concentrations of market capitalizations and valuation ranges of typical portfolios. Equity Hedge managers would typically maintain at least 50%, and may in some cases be substantially entirely invested in equities, both long and short.*
HFRX Macro/CTA Index: Active Trading strategies utilize active trading methods, typically with high frequency position turnover or leverage; these may employ components of both Discretionary and Systematic Macro strategies. Strategies may contain distinct, identifiable sub-strategies, such as equity hedge or equity market neutral, or in some cases a number of sub-strategies are blended together without the capacity for portfolio level disaggregation. Strategies employ an investment process based on systematic, quantitative evaluation of macroeconomic variables in which the portfolio positioning is predicated on convergence of differentials between markets, not necessarily highly correlated with each other, but currently diverging from their historical levels of correlation. Strategies focus on fundamental relationships across geographic areas both inter and intra-asset classes, and typical holding periods are shorter than trend following or discretionary strategies. Active Trading strategies are distinct from other macro in that they characteristically emphasize rapid market response to new information and high volume of turnover in liquid but frequently volatile and unstable market positions.*
S&P GSCI® Industrial Metals Index: The S&P GSCI® Industrial Metals Index provides investors with a reliable and publicly available benchmark for investment performance in the industrial metals market.

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 Tracker, Alternative Premia, Commodity Strategy and Managed Futures Strategy Funds — Cayman Commodity-ART, Ltd., Cayman Commodity-AP, Ltd., Cayman Commodity-CSF, Ltd. and Cayman Commodity-MFS, Ltd. (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), Cayman Islands exempted companies, were incorporated on September 11, 2013, September 11, 2014, April 2, 2009 and June 16, 2016, respectively and are currently wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Absolute Return Tracker, Alternative Premia, Commodity Strategy and Managed Futures Strategy Funds, respectively. The Subsidiaries act as an investment vehicles for the Funds to enable the Funds to gain exposure to certain types of commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Funds are the sole shareholders of the Subsidiaries pursuant to subscription agreements dated as of June 20, 2014, November 17, 2014, June 17, 2009 and July 18, 2016 respectively, and it is intended that each Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control its respective Subsidiary. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of each Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
As of June 30, 2018, the Fund and Subsidiary net assets were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | Fund Net Assets | | Subsidiary Net Assets | | % Represented by Subsidiary’s Net Assets |
Absolute Return Tracker | | $2,210,763,795 | | $16,423,619 | | 1% |
Alternative Premia | | 105,277,523 | | 12,418,771 | | 12 |
Commodity Strategy | | 421,081,873 | | 87,037,019 | | 21 |
Managed Futures Strategy | | 270,858,435 | | 54,727,057 | | 20 |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
B. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ 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 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 United States (“U.S.”) real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income. For treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost.
D. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), 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 fees.
E. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
Absolute Return Tracker, Alternative Premia and Managed Futures Strategy | | | | Annually | | Annually |
Commodity Strategy | | | | Semi-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 Subsidiaries are classified as controlled foreign corporations under the Code. Therefore, the Funds are required to increase their taxable income by their share of their Subsidiary’s income. Net losses of a Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Funds in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
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 Consolidated Statements 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 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 Consolidated 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 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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. 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.
ii. 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.
iii. Mortgage Dollar Rolls — Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions whereby a Fund sells mortgage-backed-securities and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar securities on a specified future date. During the settlement period, a Fund will not be entitled to accrue interest and receive principal payments on the securities sold. The Funds account for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realize gains and losses on these transactions.

iv. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities — TIPS are treasury securities in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
v. When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments — When-issued securities, including TBA (“To Be Announced”) securities, are securities that are authorized but not yet issued in the market and purchased in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield to a Fund. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Although a Fund will generally purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of when-issued securities or forward commitments prior to settlement, which may result in a realized gain or loss.
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. 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 the Funds and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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.
iv. Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which a 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 a 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, a 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.
An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in interest rates on a specified notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
A credit default swap is an agreement that involves one party (the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. A 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 a 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, a 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. A 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.
As a seller of protection, a Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if a Fund sells protection through a credit default swap, a 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, a 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. A 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, a 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 a 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 a Fund bought credit protection.

A total return swap is an agreement that gives a 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, a 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 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. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued) |
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 Consolidated 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 following tables set forth the Funds’ net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of June 30, 2018:

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% (except for the Commodity Strategy Fund, which charges an annual rate of 0.13%) 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 Shares.

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 Absolute Return Tracker, Alternative Premia, Commodity Strategy and Managed Futures Strategy Funds are 0.014%, 0.114%, 0.074% and 0.254%, respectively. Prior to April 30, 2018, the Other Expense limitation was 0.004% for the Alternative Premia Fund.

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of June 30, 2018, the Funds participated in a $770,000,000 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 June 30, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to May 1, 2018, the facility was $1,100,000,000.

Fund | | | | Purchases of U.S. Government and Agency Obligations) | | | Purchases (Excluding U.S. Government and Agency Obligations) | | | Sales and Maturities of U.S. Government and Agency Obligations) | | | Sales and Maturities (Excluding U.S. Government and Agency Obligations) | |

Commodity Strategy | | | | | 35,342,156 | | | | — | | | | 87,998,422 | | | | 343,727 | |
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Absolute Return Tracker 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 Consolidated 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 Absolute Return Tracker Fund invests 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 June 30, 2018 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Both the Absolute Return Tracker Fund and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
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.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by a 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 changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and a Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.
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.

|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a 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.
Tax Risk — 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 IRS has issued such PLRs to the Absolute Return Tracker, Alternative Premia and Commodity Strategy Funds. Based on such rulings, these Funds may seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets through investments in commodity-linked notes and/or subsidiaries. The Managed Futures Strategy 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 Managed Futures Strategy 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 regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code if over 10% of its gross income were derived from these investments. If a Fund failed to qualify as a RIC, it would be subject to federal and state income tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. This would significantly adversely affect the returns to, and could cause substantial losses for, Fund shareholders.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
In 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 December 31, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
Subsequent events after the Consolidated 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 June 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) 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 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 Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year. The Class R6 example is based on the period from April 30, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 61 out of 365 days for Managed Futures Strategy Fund. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 74 out of 365 days. The Class P for all funds and Class R6 for Managed Futures Strategy Fund example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 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 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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund, Goldman Sachs Alternative Premia Fund (formerly Goldman Sachs Dynamic Allocation Fund), Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund, and Goldman Sachs Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2019 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |

The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution and service fees. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The
126
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing the Absolute Return Tracker Fund’s performance to that of a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management. They noted the efforts of the Absolute Return Tracker, Alternative Premia, and Managed Futures Strategy Funds’ portfolio management team to continue to enhance the investment models used in managing the Funds.
The Trustees observed that the Absolute Return Tracker Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods; had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods; and had outperformed the average performance of a group of competitor funds, as determined by the Investment Adviser (the “Competitor Fund Average”), for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees also noted that the Absolute Return Tracker Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in 2017. The Trustees observed that the Alternative Premia Fund’s Institutional Shares had outperformed the Fund’s LIBOR-based benchmark index by 7.21%, 1.99%, and 2.40%, respectively, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and had underperformed the Fund’s Competitor Fund Average for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees considered that the Alternative Premia Fund had certain significant differences from the Fund’s benchmark index that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison. The Trustees noted that in October 2017 the Alternative Premia Fund had been repositioned from the Dynamic Allocation Fund, which involved changes to the Fund’s investment objective, investment strategy, benchmark, and portfolio management. The Trustees also noted that, following the Alternative Premia Fund’s repositioning, the Fund was placed into a new Morningstar category and, therefore, did not have meaningful peer group comparison information. The Trustees observed that the Commodity Strategy Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-year period, in the third quartile for the ten-year period, and in the fourth quartile for the three- and five-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the five- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees noted that the Managed Futures Strategy Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods; had outperformed the Fund’s LIBOR-based benchmark index by 1.28%, 0.23%, and 0.76%, respectively, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods; and had outperformed the Fund’s Competitor Fund Average for the one- and three-year periods and underperformed for the five-year period ended March 31, 2018.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
With respect to the Absolute Return Tracker and Alternative Premia Funds, the Trustees noted that the management fee breakpoint schedules had been reduced at all asset levels since the Management Agreement was last approved. In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount equal to the entire management fee paid to the Investment Adviser as the investment adviser to each Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to
127
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Absolute Return Tracker Fund | | | Alternative Premia Fund | | | Commodity Strategy Fund | | | Managed Futures Strategy Fund | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.70 | % | | | 0.79 | % | | | 0.50 | % | | | 1.00 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.63 | | | | 0.71 | | | | 0.50 | | | | 0.90 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.60 | | | | 0.68 | | | | 0.45 | | | | 0.86 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.59 | | | | 0.66 | | | | 0.43 | | | | 0.84 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.53 | | | | 0.65 | | | | 0.42 | | | | 0.82 | |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the Absolute Return Tracker Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (d) with respect to the Absolute Return Tracker and Alternative Premia Funds, fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Absolute Return Tracker and Alternative Premia Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs’
128
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (h) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (i) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; (h) the Absolute Return Tracker and Alternative Premia Funds’ ability to participate in the securities lending program administered by GSAL, as measured by the revenue received by the Funds in connection with the program; and (i) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2019.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Tax-Advantaged Equity Funds
Market Review
During the six months ended June 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), the performance of the U.S. and international equity markets was influenced most by economic data, central bank monetary policy and geopolitical events.
U.S. and international equities saw a strong start to the Reporting Period in January 2018, driven by positive economic data, a $1.5 trillion tax reform law signed in December 2017, and a favorable corporate earnings season. In February 2018, however, U.S. and international equities sold off on market speculation of a faster pace of Federal Reserve (“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. While the hawkish Fed minutes were largely expected, new Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Congressional testimony, positing a more optimistic economic outlook since the December 2017 Fed meeting, surprised equity markets with its hawkish tilt, sparking another sell-off in U.S. and international stocks. (Jerome Powell assumed the chairmanship of the Fed in February 2018. Hawkish language 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 delivered on a widely expected interest rate increase, with its “dot plot” pointing to a total of three interest rate hikes this calendar year and potentially two in 2019. (The “dot plot” shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee.) In Europe, an agreement on a 21-month transition after Brexit between the U.K. and the European Union reduced political uncertainty. (Brexit is the popular term for the U.K.’s approved vote on a referendum to exit the European Union.)
The U.S. and China continued to generate trade headlines and geopolitical uncertainty about sanctions on Russia surfaced, but the impact of such on the U.S. and international equity markets remained relatively muted during April 2018, as investors stayed rather resistant to the risk of a trade war. 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. Outside the U.S., the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan kept their respective monetary policies unchanged, indicating ongoing monetary accommodation. In May 2018, U.S. equities rallied, driven not only by strong corporate earnings but also by upside surprises in economic activity and sentiment data as well as on a new U.S. unemployment low of 3.8%. However, the U.S. equity rally was hampered by escalating geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the unexpected political outcome in Italy, the ongoing unpredictability around the U.S.-North Korea summit, and escalating trade tensions with many U.S. allies. For the same reasons, international equity markets were volatile during May 2018. In June, the Fed raised interest rates, as widely expected, but the outcome of the Fed meeting was more hawkish than the consensus had anticipated. The Fed retained language indicating an “accommodative” monetary policy stance, but its economic growth and inflation forecasts were upgraded, and its median projection was lifted to four interest rate hikes in 2018 from the three it had indicated in March 2018. Still-escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China hurt investor sentiment in the U.S. and international equity markets, as the U.S. threatened tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and China vowed to retaliate.
For the Reporting Period overall, the U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, generated a return of 2.65%. Six of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500® Index posted positive absolute returns and five generated negative returns. Consumer discretionary,

MARKET REVIEW
information technology and energy were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index, as measured by total return, and the weakest performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index during the Reporting Period were telecommunication services, consumer staples and industrials.
Within the U.S. equity market, there was significant disparity in performance not only among sectors but also among the various capitalization and style segments. While all capitalization segments posted positive returns, small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index, performed best, followed at some distance by large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, and mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index, which performed similarly to each other. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks significantly outpaced value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum, with value-oriented stocks overall in the large-cap and mid-cap capitalization segments posting modestly negative absolute returns. (All as measured by the FTSE Russell indices.)
As for international equities, they produced a negative return of -2.75%,1 as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, during the Reporting Period as a whole. Energy was the best performing sector in the MSCI EAFE Index on the basis of total return by some distance, followed by utilities and health care. The weakest performing sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were telecommunication services, financials and industrials.
From a country perspective, Finland, Portugal and Norway were the best performing equity markets in the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. Austria, Denmark and Switzerland were the weakest individual country constituents in the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period.
Looking Ahead
In the months ahead, we expect less expensive stocks to outpace more expensive stocks. We also believe that stocks with good momentum are likely to outperform those with poor momentum. Our plan is to seek profitable companies with positive fundamentals, sustainable earnings and a track record of using capital to enhance shareholder value. To that end, we anticipate remaining fully invested, with long-term performance likely to be the result of stock selection rather than sector or capitalization allocations.
We stand behind our investment philosophy that sound economic investment principles, coupled with a disciplined quantitative approach, can provide potentially strong, uncorrelated returns over the long term. Our research agenda is robust, and we continue to enhance our existing models, add new proprietary forecasting signals and improve our trading execution as we seek to provide the most value to our shareholders.

INVESTMENT PROCESS
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium and Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Funds’ Investment Process?
The Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund seeks to maximize income and total return. The Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund seeks to maximize total return with an emphasis on income. Their portfolios consist primarily of large-cap, dividend-paying stocks.1 By investing in these securities, and through the use of option call writing, the Funds seek to generate an attractive after-tax cash flow.
A diversified portfolio:
∎ | | Create a diversified large-cap equity portfolio that participates in all industries and sectors. |
∎ | | Emphasize higher dividend-paying stocks within each industry and sector. |
Written call options:
∎ | | The Funds utilize index call writing to seek to enhance their cash flow. |
∎ | | We use proprietary quantitative techniques, including optimization tools, a risk model and a transactions cost model, in identifying a portfolio of stocks that we believe may enhance expected dividend yield while limiting deviations when compared to the S&P 500® Index or MSCI EAFE Index, as applicable. |
∎ | | A fully invested, style-consistent portfolio. |
∎ | | The Funds seek attractive after-tax cash flow from qualified dividends, long-term capital gains and option call writing. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 30, 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 1.00%, 0.64%, 1.19% and 1.13%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.65% cumulative total return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “S&P 500® Index”), during the same period. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the secondary benchmark, returned -1.62%. |
| | For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 0.69% compared to the 0.85% cumulative total return of the S&P 500® Index. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.59% during the same period. |
| | For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of 2.89% compared to the 3.04% cumulative total return of the S&P 500® Index. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.59% during the same period. |
| | Although the Fund does not invest in fixed income securities, maximizing income is part of the Fund’s investment objective, and therefore we believe that a comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is useful to investors. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, security selection detracted from relative performance. Specifically, the Fund’s bias toward stocks with higher dividend yields hurt returns. Overall, the Fund was hampered by its holdings in the financials, consumer staples and information technology sectors. It benefited from its investments in the energy and health care sectors. |
| | The sale of call options on the S&P 500® Index contributed positively to the Fund’s total return during the Reporting Period. A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s call writing affect its performance? |
A | | Consistent with our investment approach, we wrote index call options on a portion of the stock portfolio’s market value. When the Fund sells an index call option, it retains the premium it receives from the sale. However, if the purchaser exercises the option, the Fund is obligated to pay the purchaser the difference between the price of the index and the exercise price of the option. Although the Fund retains the premium it receives from the sale of the option, the premium may not exceed the difference in the value of the index as call options are exercised. This is what happened during the Reporting Period for certain of the Fund’s options positions, however, our call writing overall added to performance. |
| | Call option writing has the potential to reduce Fund volatility. Since its inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been 17.44% compared to the realized volatility of the S&P 500® Index of 18.96%. During the Reporting Period, the realized daily volatility of the Fund was 14.47% compared to the realized volatility of the S&P 500® Index of 16.38%.1 |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | What was the Fund’s dividend yield during the Reporting Period? |
A | | While maintaining industry and sector weights consistent with the S&P 500® Index, we favor stocks with higher dividend yields. The dividend yield of the Fund’s Institutional Share class during the Reporting Period was 2.75% compared to 1.96% for the S&P 500® Index. (Dividend yield is a ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends in a year divided by its share price.) The Fund’s dividend yield served to enhance its quarterly net income distributions. As of June 30, 2018, the Standardized 30-Day Subsidized Yield was 1.95% and the Standardized 30-Day Unsubsidized Yield was 1.94%.2 |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the S&P 500® Index, the Fund was hurt by its overweight positions in investment management company Invesco, fashion retailer L Brands and infrastructure businesses owner and operator Macquarie Infrastructure. The Fund was overweight all three stocks primarily due to their attractive dividend yields and/or risk metrics. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results? |
A | | The Fund benefited from underweight positions relative to the S&P 500® Index in industrial conglomerate General Electric and biotechnology company Celgene. An overweight in department store chain Macy’s also contributed positively. The Fund was underweight General Electric and Celgene primarily because of their unattractive yields and/or risk metrics. The overweight in Macy’s was largely due to its attractive dividend yield and/or risk metrics. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used equity index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to equitize the Fund’s excess cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s excess cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of equity index futures. Equity index futures did not have a significant impact on Fund performance during the Reporting Period. Consistent with our investment approach, we also wrote equity index options on a portion of the portfolio’s market value in an effort to generate premiums. Equity index options had a modestly positive impact on performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We made no changes to our quantitative model during the Reporting Period. |
|
|
Effective after the close of business on June 29, 2018, the final day of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in particular assets changed. After that date, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in dividend-paying equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of the S&P 500® Index at the time of the investment. |

6 | | The after-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. The 2017 tax rates (23.8% for qualifying ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions and 43.4% for non-qualifying ordinary income dividends) and tax characteristics of distributions were used to estimate after-tax returns in 2018. Actual after-tax returns will be calculated at calendar year-end and depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes. Standardized after-tax returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 30, 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 -4.20%, -4.51%, -3.97% and -4.05%, respectively. These returns compare to the -2.75% cumulative total return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net, USD, unhedged). The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (USD, Unhedged), the secondary benchmark, returned -1.46%. |
| | For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -5.52% compared to the -3.57% cumulative total return of the MSCI EAFE Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index returned -2.83% during the same period. |
| | For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of -4.29% compared to the -3.44% cumulative total return of the MSCI EAFE Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index returned -1.20% during the same period. |
| | Although the Fund does not invest in fixed income securities, maximizing income is part of the Fund’s investment objective, and therefore we believe that a comparison of the Fund’s performance to that of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index is useful to investors. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Security selection hurt relative returns during the Reporting Period, as the Fund’s bias toward stocks with higher dividend yields detracted from performance. Overall, the Fund was hindered by investments in the telecommunication services, consumer discretionary and health care sectors. It was helped by holdings in the materials, financials and utilities sectors. |
| | The sale of call options on the MSCI EAFE Index had a rather neutral impact on the Fund’s total return during the Reporting Period. A call option is an option that gives the holder the right to buy a certain quantity of an underlying security at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s call writing affect its performance? |
A | | Consistent with our investment approach, we wrote index call options on a portion of the stock portfolio’s market value. When the Fund sells an index call option, it retains the premium it receives from the sale. However, if the purchaser exercises the option, the Fund is obligated to pay the purchaser the difference between the price of the index and the exercise price of the option. While the Fund retains the premium it receives from the sale of the option, the premium may not exceed the difference in the value of the index as call options are exercised. During the Reporting Period, the total amount of premiums the Fund retained was offset by the difference in the value of the index when call options were exercised. Therefore, our call writing had a neutral impact on Fund performance during the Reporting Period. |
| | Call option writing has the potential to reduce Fund volatility. However, since its inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been 20.57% compared to the realized volatility of the MSCI EAFE Index of 19.02%. During the Reporting Period, the realized daily volatility of the Fund was 9.04% compared to the realized volatility of the MSCI EAFE Index of 8.81%.1 |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | What was the Fund’s dividend yield during the Reporting Period? |
A | | While maintaining industry and sector weights consistent with the MSCI EAFE Index, we favor stocks with higher dividend yields. The dividend yield of the Fund’s Institutional Share class during the Reporting Period was 4.20% compared to 3.17% for the MSCI EAFE Index. (Dividend yield is a ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends in a year divided by its share price.) The Fund’s dividend yield served to enhance its quarterly net income distributions. As of June 30, 2018, the Standardized 30-Day Subsidized Yield was 3.27% and the Standardized 30-Day Unsubsidized Yield was 3.27%.2 |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by overweight positions relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in German automobile maker Daimler, French retailer Casino Guichard-Perrachon and British telecommunications conglomerate Vodafone. It was overweight all three stocks largely because of their attractive dividend yield and/or risk metrics. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results? |
A | | Compared to the MSCI EAFE Index, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in U.K. pharmaceutical manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline and Norwegian seafood company Marine Harvest. An underweight in German financial services company Deutsche Bank also added to relative performance. The Fund was overweight GlaxoSmithKline and Marine Harvest mainly because of their attractive dividend yields and/or risk metrics. The underweight in Deutsche Bank was largely due to its unattractive yield and/or risk metrics. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used equity index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to equitize the Fund’s excess cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s excess cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of equity index futures. Equity index futures did not have a significant impact on Fund performance during the Reporting Period. Consistent with our investment approach, we also wrote equity index options on a portion of the portfolio’s market value in an effort to generate premiums. Equity index options had a rather neutral impact on performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We made no changes to our quantitative model during the Reporting Period. |
|
|
Effective after the close of business on June 29, 2018, the final day of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in particular assets changed. After that date, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in dividend-paying equity investments in non-U.S. issuers with public stock market capitalizations within the range of the market capitalization of the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) at the time of investment. |

| 4 | | 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). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. 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.

6 | | The after-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. The 2017 tax rates (23.8% for qualifying ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions and 43.4% for non-qualifying ordinary income dividends) and tax characteristics of distributions were used to estimate after-tax returns in 2018. Actual after-tax returns will be calculated at calendar year-end and depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes. Standardized after-tax returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares. |
* | | Returns Before Taxes do not reflect taxes on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed. |
** | | Returns After Taxes on Distributions assume that taxes are paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period. |

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 0.6% of the Fund’s net assets at June 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. |

INVESTMENT PROCESS
What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Management Investment Process?
In managing money for many of the world’s wealthiest taxable investors, Goldman Sachs often constructs a diversified investment portfolio around a tax-managed core. With the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, investors can access Goldman Sachs’ tax-smart investment expertise while capitalizing on this same strategic approach to portfolio construction.
Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Management Investment Process
The Goldman Sachs Global Tax-Management investment process is a disciplined quantitative approach that has been consistently applied since 1989. With the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, the investment process is enhanced with an additional layer that seeks to maximize after-tax returns.
Advantage: Daily analysis of approximately 3,000 U.S. and international equity securities using a proprietary model.
∎ | | Sector and size neutral |
Tax optimization is an additional layer that is built into the existing investment process — a distinct advantage. While other managers may simply seek to minimize taxable distributions through a low turnover strategy, this extension of the investment process seeks to maximize after-tax returns — the true objective of every taxable investor.
Advantage: Value added through stock selection — not market timing, industry rotation or style bias.
∎ | | A fully invested, style-consistent portfolio |
∎ | | Broad access to the total U.S. and international equity markets |
∎ | | A consistent goal of seeking to maximize after-tax risk-adjusted returns |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, Service and Investor Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.44%, 3.11%, 3.65%, 3.38% and 3.61%, respectively. This compares to the 3.22% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index (the “Index”), over the same time period. |
| | For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of 0.47% compared to the 1.29% cumulative total return of the Index. |
| | For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of 2.66% compared to the 3.50% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund generally outperformed the Index, with four of our quantitative model’s six investment themes adding to relative returns. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and its six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by the Fund’s different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| | During the Reporting Period, four of our quantitative model’s six investment themes — Quality, Momentum, Profitability and Sentiment — contributed positively to relative performance. The Quality theme seeks to assess both firm and management quality. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. The Profitability theme 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. |
| | Our Valuation theme detracted from the Fund’s relative returns. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. |
| | The impact of our Management theme was rather neutral during the Reporting Period. 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 performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How successful was your stock selection during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund seeks to provide investors with a tax-efficient means for maintaining broadly diversified exposure to the entire U.S. equity market, ranging from large- to small-cap stocks. During the Reporting Period, individual stock positions in the industrials, energy and financials sectors bolstered relative returns. Selection in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and materials sectors hurt relative performance. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results? |
A | | Relative to the Index, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in independent petroleum refiner Valero Energy, software company Adobe Systems and semiconductor producer Micron Technology. We adopted the overweight in Valero Energy due to our positive views on Valuation and Quality. The overweight in Adobe Systems was based on our positive views on Sentiment and Profitability. Our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment led us to overweight Micron Technology. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by overweight positions compared to the Index in energy company Chevron and aerospace and defense company Lockheed Martin. Fund performance was also hampered by an underweight in financial services firm Mastercard. The overweights in Chevron and Lockheed Martin were based on our positive views on Sentiment and Quality. We chose to underweight Mastercard due to our negative views on Valuation and Profitability. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy to add value to the Fund’s results. However, we used equity index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to equitize the Fund’s excess cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s excess cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of equity index futures. Equity index futures did not have a significant impact on Fund performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we made some enhancements to our quantitative model within the U.S. region. Within our Sentiment theme, we introduced two new signals that use options data to gauge sentiment around companies. The first signal looks at high-conviction option purchases to assess how strongly market participants feel about the prospects of a particular stock. The second signal aims to infer the positive or negative sentiment around a stock by looking at put and call options purchased for the particular company. (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. A call option is an option that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy an underlying asset at an agreed-upon price at any time up to an agreed-upon date.) |
| | We also introduced a new signal within our Momentum theme that helps us create economic links between different companies, potentially giving us insight into price movements of related companies. The signal uses natural language processing techniques to read through various sections in the patent document to form linkages. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector allocation and style. That said, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the health care, consumer discretionary and real estate sectors. It was underweight compared to the Index in the information technology, telecommunication services, consumer staples, utilities and financials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral in the energy, industrials and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
|
|
Effective after the close of business on June 29, 2018, the final day of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in particular assets changed. After that date, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in equity investments in U.S. issuers. |

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). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. 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. |

In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

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 -2.10%, -2.36%, -1.84% and -1.92%, respectively. This compares to the -2.75% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net, USD, unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -3.79% compared to the -3.57% cumulative total return of the Index. |
| For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of -2.47% compared to the -3.44% 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 three of our quantitative model’s six investment themes contributing positively to relative returns. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and its six investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by the Fund’s different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, three of our quantitative model’s six investment themes added to the Fund’s relative performance. Momentum, Sentiment and Quality 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 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 Valuation and Profitability themes detracted from the Fund’s relative results. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
| The impact of our Management theme was rather neutral during the Reporting Period. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | | How did the Fund sector and industry allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |
Q | | How successful was your stock selection during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund seeks to provide investors with a tax-efficient means for maintaining broadly diversified exposure to the entire EAFE equity market. During the Reporting Period, stock selection in the consumer staples, financials and energy sectors added to relative results. Investments in the industrials, materials and real estate sectors detracted from relative performance. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited most relative to the Index from its overweights in Shiseido, a Japan-based maker of personal care products; Aker BP, a Norwegian oil exploration and development company; and Taiyo Yuden, a Japanese materials and electronics manufacturer. The overweights in Shiseido and Aker BP were based on our positive views on Momentum and Sentiment. Our positive views on Profitability and Quality led us to overweight Taiyo Yuden. |
Q | | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was hampered by its overweight positions compared to the Index in Air France-KLM, Deutsche Lufthansa and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. The Fund was overweight French-Dutch airline company Air France-KLM because of our positive views on Valuation and Profitability. We chose to overweight German airline company Deutsche Lufthansa due to our positive views on Sentiment and Valuation. The overweight in Japanese financial services company Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group was the result of our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of an active management strategy to add value to the Fund’s results. However, we used equity index futures, on an opportunistic basis, to equitize the Fund’s excess cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s excess cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of equity index futures. Equity index futures did not have a significant impact on Fund performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes or enhancements did you make to your quantitative model during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we made some enhancements to our quantitative model within international regions. Within our Momentum theme, we introduced two signals that help us create economic links between different companies, potentially giving us insight into price movements of related companies. The first signal, introduced in the Europe, Japan and emerging markets regions, uses natural language processing techniques to read through various sections in the patent document to form linkages. The second signal, introduced in the Japan region, uses natural language processing techniques to analyze various sections within companies’ annual financial statements. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on country weightings. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and country allocations. That said, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the energy, consumer discretionary, health care and information technology sectors relative to the Index. It was underweight the telecommunication services, real estate, industrials and financials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutrally weighted in the consumer staples, materials and utilities sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight compared to the Index in Japan, Norway, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark and Hong Kong. Relative to the Index, it was underweight the U.K., France and Switzerland. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted relative to the Index in Italy, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Portugal, Austria, Israel, Ireland, Finland, Sweden and Germany at the end of the Reporting Period. |
|
|
Effective after the close of business on June 29, 2018, the final day of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in particular assets changed. After that date, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in equity investments in non-U.S. issuers. |

| | Class R6 | | | N/A | | | | N/A | | | | N/A | | | | -2.47 | | | | 4/30/18 | |
| 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). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. 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.

| | Class A Shares | | One Year | | | Five Years | | | Ten Years | |
| | Returns before taxes* | | | 2.68 | % | | | 6.60 | % | | | 2.31 | % |
| | Returns after taxes on distributions** | | | 2.44 | | | | 6.29 | | | | 2.03 | |
| | Returns after taxes on distributions*** and sale of Fund shares | | | 2.00 | | | | 5.21 | | | | 1.86 | |
5 | | The after-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. The 2017 tax rates (23.8% for qualifying ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions and 43.4% for non-qualifying ordinary income dividends) and tax characteristics of distributions were used to estimate after-tax returns in 2018. Actual after-tax returns will be calculated at calendar year-end and depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even Returns Before Taxes. Standardized after-tax returns assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV and reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares. |
* | | Returns Before Taxes do not reflect taxes on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed. |
** | | Returns After Taxes on Distributions assume that taxes are paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period. |
*** | | Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares reflect taxes paid on distributions on the Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS7 |
As of June 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 0.4% of the Fund’s net assets at June 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. |

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 United States (“U.S.”) real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium International Equity Dividend and Premium | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
U.S. Tax-Managed Equity International Tax-Managed Equity | | | | Annually | | Annually |
Net capital losses, 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.
F. In-Kind Transactions — The Funds may allow investors, under certain circumstances, to purchase shares with securities instead of cash. In addition, the Trust reserves the right to redeem an investor’s shares by distributing securities instead of cash. These are known as in-kind transactions. Securities included as part of in-kind purchases and redemptions of Fund shares are valued in the same manner as they are valued for purposes of computing a Fund’s NAV, in accordance with the Fund’s Valuation Procedures, and such valuations are as of the date the trade is submitted pursuant to the procedures specified in the Funds’ prospectus.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the 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;
61
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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,
62

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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.
ii. Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of 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.

These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C 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.

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 and Investor 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 0.01% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Investor Shares of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least April 30, 2019, and prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, 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 U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, U.S. Tax-Managed Equity and International Tax-Managed Equity Funds are 0.014%, 0.094%, 0.044% and 0.014%, respectively. Prior to April 30, 2018, the Other Expense limitation was 0.124% for the International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least April 30, 2019, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of June 30, 2018, the Funds participated in a $770,000,000 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 June 30, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to May 1, 2018, the facility was $1,100,000,000. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.

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.

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
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 June 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 June 30, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

As of June 30, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium | | | International Equity Dividend and Premium | | | U.S. Tax-Managed Equity | | | International Tax-Managed Equity | |

Gross unrealized loss | | | | | (127,469,728 | ) | | | (45,162,485 | ) | | | (4,286,832 | ) | | | (7,117,520 | ) |

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, options and foreign currency contracts and differences related to the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, real estate investment trust investments and 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the 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.
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 TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended June 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 January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year. The Class R6 example is based on the period from April 30, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 61 out of 365 days. The Class P example is based on the period from April 17, 2018 through June 30, 2018, which represents a period of 74 out of 365 days. The Class P and Class R6 example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from January 1, 2018 through June 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 fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Background
The Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, and Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.
The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2019 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 13-14, 2018 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:
| (a) | | the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about: |
| (i) | | the structure, staff, and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams; |
| (ii) | | the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services, and operations); controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance, and central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training); |
| (iii) | | trends in employee headcount; |
| (iv) | | the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and |
| (v) | | the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management; |
| (b) | | information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third-party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), and a benchmark performance index; and information on general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests; |
| (c) | | information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy; |
| (d) | | the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund; |
| (e) | | fee and expense information for the Fund, including: |
| (i) | | the relative management fee and expense levels of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider; |
| (ii) | | the Fund’s expense trends over time; and |
| (iii) | | to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser; |
| (f) | | with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund; |
| (g) | | the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations; |
| (h) | | information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; |
| (i) | | whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale; |
80
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
| (j) | | a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, securities lending, portfolio trading, distribution and other services; |
| (k) | | a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser; |
| (l) | | information regarding commissions paid by the Fund and broker oversight, other information regarding portfolio trading, and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution; |
| (m) | | portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers; |
| (n) | | the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and |
| (o) | | the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Fund’s compliance program; and periodic compliance reports. |
The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity, and payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.
The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement
As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.
Investment Performance
The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2017, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2018. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they
81
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.
In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management. They noted the efforts of the Funds’ portfolio management team to continue to enhance the investment models used in managing the Funds.
The Trustees considered that the International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one- and three-year periods and in the third quartile for the five- and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the three-year period and underperformed for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. They noted that the International Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. The Trustees observed that the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods and in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018. They also noted that the U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the three-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and five-year periods and underperformed for the three- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018.
Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information
The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.
In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency, custody and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the International Tax-Managed Equity Fund and U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund that would have the effect of decreasing expenses of Class A, Class C, and Investor Shares of the Fund, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Funds’ next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.
In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.
Profitability
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s contribution to the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins. In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service), and information on the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense
82
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
allocation methodology and that the internal audit group was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for each Fund was provided for 2017 and 2016, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund | | | International Tax-Managed Equity Fund | | | U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund | | | U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.81 | % | | | 0.85 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.70 | % |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.77 | | | | 0.68 | | | | 0.63 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.69 | | | | 0.73 | | | | 0.65 | | | | 0.60 | |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.68 | | | | 0.72 | | | | 0.64 | | | | 0.59 | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.67 | | | | 0.71 | | | | 0.63 | | | | 0.58 | |
The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund and U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.
Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates
The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) brokerage and futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing securities and futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (d) fees earned by Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, as securities lending agent (and fees earned by the Investment Adviser for managing the fund in which the Funds’ cash collateral is invested); (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (g) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (h) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (i) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.
Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders
The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to
83
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)
hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; (h) the Funds’ ability to participate in the securities lending program administered by GSAL, as measured by the revenue received by the Funds in connection with the program; and (i) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.
Conclusion
In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2019.
