MARKET REVIEW
Fund of Funds Portfolios
The capital markets were influenced most during the 12 months ended December 31, 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 U.S. 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, because of the comparatively stronger economic data within emerging markets countries and because of higher commodity prices. In the fixed income markets, the10-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 consensus 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; opposite of hawkish.) 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 large 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 also contributed to the weakness of emerging markets stocks. Within fixed income, the10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose, as U.S. macroeconomic data remained relatively strong, inflation increased and crude 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.
In the third quarter of 2018, global economic growth continued to moderate, especially outside of the U.S. At the same time, U.S.-China trade tensions escalated, leading to tariffs of $250 billion on U.S. imports from China. In terms of monetary policy, the Fed raised short-term interest rates at its September policy meeting and signaled one more hike in 2018. Global

MARKET REVIEW
equities overall posted gains during the third calendar quarter, driven by a rally in developed markets stocks. Within developed markets stocks, U.S. equities outperformed, recording one of their best performing quarters in five years due to strong corporate earnings and economic data. European equities retreated, as softer economic activity and concerns around Italy weighed on their performance. Japanese equities rallied on the back of a weakening Japanese yen. Meanwhile, emerging markets equities declined, primarily due to the negative performance of Chinese stocks. Regarding fixed income, the10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose in response to strong U.S. economic activity, which caused the market to price in additional Fed rate hikes. In Europe, the spread, or yield differential, between10-year Italian and German government bonds widened, reflecting higher risk premiums on Italian assets because of increased concerns about the Italian government’s budget. Also during the third quarter of 2018, the currencies of emerging markets countries with significant financing needs fell to their 2018 calendar year lows versus the U.S. dollar; the Turkish lira and Argentinian peso, as prime examples, were down 42% and 50%, respectively, between January 1 and August 31. Within commodities, higher U.S. interest rates and slowing Chinese economic growth dampened gold and copper prices.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, softer global economic data, which led to downward consensus expectations for corporate earnings growth, and the Fed’s less accommodative monetary policy weighed on global equity markets, driving a double-digit decline across most major equity indices. Within developed markets stocks, Japanese equities turned in the weakest performance, as cyclical stocks were pressured by decelerating global economic growth, and export-oriented stocks were hurt by a stronger Japanese yen. U.S. and European equities also experienced substantial losses. Despite weaker economic data from China, emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets equities during the fourth calendar quarter, thanks in large part to rallies in Brazilian and Indian stocks. Brazilian risk assets broadly benefited from renewed investor optimism about potentially market-friendly measures from its new government and relatively better economic data. Indian equities were helped by lower crude oil prices and improving macro data. Within fixed income, the10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell in response to a decline in U.S. inflation, driven by the drop in crude oil prices and signs of slowing U.S. economic growth. Yields of government bonds in other developed markets countries also fell but by a lesser magnitude. Investors revised downward their expectations for 2019 Fed monetary policy action from two short-term interest rate increases to no rate hike at all. The Fed, however, still projected two rate hikes during the 2019 calendar year. Within commodities, crude oil prices declined on market concerns about global economic growth and as oversupply led investors to unwind long positions. Regarding metals, copper prices fell, while gold prices rallied. As for currencies, the Japanese yen was the best performing major currency during the fourth quarter of 2018. The U.S. dollar strengthened overall versus most major currencies.
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we emphasized three macro themes. First, we expected to see an elongated U.S. economic expansion in 2019, with U.S. economic growth slowing but remaining at above trend levels. Second, we expected to see renewed convergence in global economic growth, as the U.S. economy slows, the European economy stabilizes and emerging markets economic growth (outside of China) improves. Third, we saw attractive opportunities in the wake of the 2018 market downturn. In our view, valuations and investor expectations had adjusted significantly since the start of 2018, and we had become more positive about potential returns in the near term.

MARKET REVIEW
At the asset class level, we were positive on equities over the medium term. We believed a slowdown in U.S. economic growth, which could eventually reduce labor market pressures, had increased the likelihood at the margin of an elongation in the U.S. economic cycle. This, along with the 2018 equity market downturn, continued corporate earnings growth and global economic expansion, should support equity returns, in our view. As for fixed income, we remained bearish on government bonds. In our opinion, the elongated U.S. economic cycle is likely to lead to higher yields due to Fed interest rate hikes, and we expected a path that is more hawkish than what the market was pricing in at the end of the Reporting Period. Additionally, we considered credit spreads rather wide and expected to see some compression in the near term. Over the course of 2019, credit spreads are likely to tighten further, we believe. Finally, while we still thought emerging markets assets would likely outperform developed markets assets over the long term, deterioration in China’s economic growth has been worse than we expected. As a result, we decided to reduce the Portfolios’ allocation to emerging markets assets in the medium term because we believe there is increased uncertainty around the timing and magnitude of economic growth improvements for China.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
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 150* 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.
*As | of December 2018. |
†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. |

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 the12-month period ended December 31, 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 average annual total returns of-6.90%,-7.58%,-6.53%,-6.93%,-6.61%,-7.07% and-6.52%, respectively. This compares to the-2.57% average annual 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 1.93% and-10.45%, 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 using various strategies including 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 ofbottom-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 greater negative results. In addition, all four Portfolios underperformed their respective benchmark indices.* Our long-term strategic asset allocation generally detracted most. The Portfolios were also hurt overall by our medium-term cycle-aware views and by security selection within the Underlying Funds. The contribution from our short-term tactical decisions was mixed. |
Strategic asset allocation was the main detractor from performance for 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. The impact of strategic asset allocation on the performance of the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio was rather neutral overall. Negative performance was driven by strategic allocations to emerging markets assets. Strategic allocations to emerging markets equities detracted from the performance of all four Portfolios, while strategic allocations to U.S.-dollar denominated emerging markets debt and local currency emerging markets debt detracted from the performance of all Portfolios, except the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio. Emerging markets assets generally struggled during the Reporting Period due to weaker than market expected global economic growth data, rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China and a stronger U.S. dollar. Additionally, strategic allocations to internationalsmall-cap equities detracted from the performance of the |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio, assmall-cap stocks underperformedlarge-cap stocks during the Reporting Period amid global economic growth concerns. Small-cap stocks tend to be more economically sensitive thanlarge-cap stocks. On the positive side, strategic allocations to global infrastructure and global real estate contributed positively to the performance of these three Portfolios, as the equity marketsell-off led investors to seek relative safety in higher-yielding equity asset classes. |
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 developed markets equities outperformed emerging markets equities on the back of weaker than market expected economic growth in the emerging markets, a stronger U.S. dollar and spillover effects from countries with economic imbalances, such as Argentina and Turkey. 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 interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths. The Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio did not adopt any of our fixed income views as it is anall-equity portfolio.) The short position in long-maturity German government bonds detracted from the Portfolios’ performance as German yields fell during the Reporting Period due to slower European economic growth and Italian political risk. A short position in thetwo-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve added marginally, partially offsetting these negative results, as U.S. longer-term interest rates rose. 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 in May 2018 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.) Although this view contributed positively during the fourth quarter of 2018, it detracted from the performance of the Portfolios during the Reporting Period overall as U.S. high yield corporate bonds outperformed local emerging markets debt. |
Our short-term tactical views, which seek to take advantage of what we consider short-term market mispricing, had mixed results during the Reporting Period. Although they added to the performance of the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, they detracted from the performance of the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio. For these three Portfolios, we used a single implementation vehicle to express our short-term tactical views — the Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund (the “Underlying Tactical Fund”) — which underperformed its benchmark index during the Reporting Period and therefore detracted from the Portfolios’ returns. That said, within the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, the impact of our country-specific views was mixed. Overall, our view to hold long positions in certain developed markets stocks, including Singaporean equities and Europeanlarge-cap stocks, and short positions in certain emerging markets stocks, such as South African and Mexican equities, added to the Portfolio’s performance. This was offset by country-specific long positions in emerging markets equities, which detracted from results, as emerging markets assets were broadly challenged during the Reporting Period. |
Security selection within the Underlying Funds detracted from the returns of all four of the Portfolios during the Reporting Period, especially the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio because of its relatively higher proportion of equity assets. |
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 Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund underperformed its benchmark index most during the Reporting Period. The Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Goldman Sachs Global Income Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund and the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund also lagged their respective benchmark indices. In addition, the Goldman Sachs Access High Yield Corporate Bond ETF underperformed its benchmark index. On the positive side, the Goldman Sachs Access Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF outperformed its benchmark index. Among Underlying Equity Funds, the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights Fund underperformed its benchmark index |

most during the Reporting Period. Also, the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights Fund, the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF, the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund and the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund all underperformed their respective benchmark indices. Conversely, the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund outperformed its benchmark index, while the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF and the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta International Equity ETF were essentially flat versus their respective benchmark indices. 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, all four Portfolios used derivatives for passive replication of asset classes. Specifically, each of the Portfolios held a strategic position in S&P 500®Index futures (negative impact). |
The primary purpose of derivatives in the Portfolios was 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 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). The Portfolio also used equity index futures to establish tactical long positions in Singaporean equities and European bank stocks (both had a positive impact). The Portfolio utilized equity index futures to take tactical long positions in Chinese onshore- and offshore- listed equities, emerging markets stocks, European high-dividend equities, Japanese equities and South Korean equities (all had a negative impact). Over the course of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio used both long and short positioning in European equity index futures and international developed markets equity index futures to express our tactical views (both had a negative impact). Furthermore, during the Reporting Period, the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio used equity call options to adopt long positions in emerging markets equities and European equities (both had a negative impact) and U.S.large-cap stocks and Japanese equities (both had a 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 anall-equity portfolio.) |
The Portfolios also used forward foreign currency exchange contracts within a foreign currency hedging strategy (positive impact), which seeks to manage the risk associated with investing innon-U.S. currencies. |
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. |
8
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
In October 2018, we made changes to the medium-term cycle aware views of all four Portfolios, wherein we began reducing risk related to the emerging markets. More specifically, we decreased the Portfolios’ exposure to emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities. In three of the Portfolios — the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio — we reduced exposure to local emerging markets debt relative to U.S. high yield corporate bonds. By the end of the Reporting Period, we had partially reduced the Portfolios’ overweight positions compared to their respective benchmarks in emerging markets assets. |
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 aco-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. (On February 19, 2019, after the end of the Reporting Period, Raymond Chan no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Portfolios. At the same time, Neill Nuttall became a portfolio manager for the Portfolios, joining Christopher Lvoff.) |

FUND BASICS
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 December 31, 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS BALANCED STRATEGY PORTFOLIO
Performance Summary
December 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value, as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on January 1, 2009 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Portfolio’s benchmarks, the Balanced Strategy Composite Index (the “Balanced Composite”), which is comprised of 60% of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, Hedged) (the “Bloomberg Barclays Global Index”) and 40% of the MSCI® All Country World Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI ACWI Index”), the Bloomberg Barclays Global Index and the MSCI ACWI Index (each with distributions reinvested), are shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations currently in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding underlying fund selection and allocations among them, other factors may affect Portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Portfolio.

FUND BASICS
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 December 31, 2018. Actual underlying 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. |

GOLDMAN SACHS GROWTH AND INCOME STRATEGY PORTFOLIO
Performance Summary
December 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value, as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on January 1, 2009 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Portfolio’s benchmarks, the Growth and Income Strategy Composite Index (the “Growth and Income Composite”), which is comprised of 60% of the MSCI® All Country World Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI ACWI Index”) and 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, Hedged) (the “Bloomberg Barclays Global Index”), the Bloomberg Barclays Global Index and the MSCI ACWI Index (each with distributions reinvested), are shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations currently in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding underlying mutual fund selection and allocations among them, other factors may affect Portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Portfolio.

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 Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) for the12-month period ended December 31, 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 average annual total returns of-10.39%,-11.07%,-10.06%,-10.41%,-10.19%,-10.56% and-10.04%, respectively. This compares to the -5.34% average annual 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, 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 Net Total Return Index, generated average annual total returns of 0.01%,-4.38% and -13.79%, respectively, during the same period. The MSCI EAFE Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), which was part of the Portfolio’s former blended benchmark, returned -13.36% during the same period. The Portfolio’s former blended benchmark was composed 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Index, 30% of the S&P 500® Index and 30% of the MSCI EAFE Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged). |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Portfolio’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of-9.76% compared to the -5.56% 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 Net Total Return Index, generated cumulative total returns of 1.60%,-6.06% and -14.52%, respectively, during the same period. The MSCI EAFE Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) returned -14.24% during the same period. |
Q | How did various satellite asset classes perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, satellite asset classes broadly recorded negative absolute returns, though leveraged loans posted gains. Relative to traditional equity and fixed income asset classes, performance across satellite asset classes was mostly negative, with the exception of leveraged loans, global real estate securities and global infrastructure securities, which posted negative absolute returns but outperformed the traditional equity asset class on a relative basis. |
Among real assets, global real estate securities, as represented by the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index, posted a return of-5.46% but was the best-performing satellite asset class in the Portfolio and one of only two that outperformed the equity component of the blended benchmark, which is an equal-weighted blend of U.S. and international stocks, as represented by the S&P 500® Index and the MSCI EAFE Net Total Return Index. These equity indices were down-4.38% and -13.79%, respectively, during the Reporting Period. Global infrastructure securities, as measured by the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index (Net, USD, Unhedged), returned-7.87% and was the other equity satellite asset class in the Portfolio to outperform the equity component of the blended benchmark. |
The worst performing satellite asset class in the Portfolio was within equities. International small cap stocks returned-17.89%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. Also among the worst performers was emerging markets equities, which returned-14.58%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Emerging markets equities were pushed down by a stronger U.S. dollar, rising U.S. interest rates, investor concerns around trade protectionism and slowing global economic growth. |
Fixed income satellite asset classes generally posted negative performance during the Reporting Period, in contrast to the |

fixed income component of the benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Index, which was essentially flat at 0.01%. Among fixed income satellite asset classes within the Portfolio, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index Global Diversified Index, and emerging markets local debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets Global Diversified Index, were the major detractors, returning-4.26% and-6.21%, respectively. Emerging markets debt struggled for many of the same reasons that contributed to the weakness in emerging markets equities during the Reporting Period. U.S. high yield corporate bonds underperformed, returning-2.08% as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index, in line with the broad underperformance of risk assets. Leveraged loans, as measured by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, outperformed the fixed income component of the blended benchmark, which is the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Index, generating a positive return of 1.14%. 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. As a result, they can potentially offer protection against rising interest rates. |
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. The largest source of weakness was within equities, as the Portfolio’s strategic allocation to international small cap stocks struggled amid geopolitical risks and a stronger U.S. dollar. For similar reasons, a strategic allocation to emerging markets equities also diminished performance. Within fixed income asset classes, the Portfolio was hampered by its strategic allocations to local emerging markets debt and U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt, which were hurt by U.S. dollar strength as well as by investor concerns around global trade policies and global economic growth. On the other hand, the Portfolio’s strategic allocation to leveraged loans contributed positively to performance. Among real asset classes, strategic allocations to global real estate securities and global infrastructure securities generated negative absolute returns but outperformed the equity components of the Portfolio’s blended benchmark. |
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 emerging markets equities and local emerging markets debt detracted from performance during the Reporting Period. |
Overall, security selection within the Underlying Funds detracted from Portfolio returns, with underperformance concentrated in the Underlying Fixed Income Funds. |
Q | How did the Portfolio’s Underlying Funds perform relative to their respective benchmark indices during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, security selection within the Underlying Funds detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. The negative results came from both the Underlying Fixed Income Funds and the Underlying Equity |

Funds. Among Underlying Fixed Income Funds, the Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund lagged its benchmark index the most. Each of the other Underlying Fixed Income Funds also underperformed their respective benchmarks. The Underlying Equity Funds all detracted from the Portfolio’s returns, led by the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund, which underperformed its benchmark index the most. Among Underlying Funds that invest in real assets, the Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund outperformed its benchmark index, while the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund underperformed its benchmark index. |
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 several 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 its 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, which tend to be sensitive to interest rates. |
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. We exited this view in June 2018 by reducing exposure to global infrastructure securities and adding exposure to global real estate securities. |
Third, in early May 2018, we added a medium-term cycle-aware view that the Portfolio 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.) |
Fourth, during October 2018, in a risk management move, we reduced our medium-term cycle-aware view that the Portfolio be overweight emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities. We also decreased the Portfolio’s allocation to local emerging markets debt by increasing its exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt. Furthermore, we reduced the Portfolio’s exposure to the emerging markets broadly by increasing its allocations to global real estate securities and global infrastructure securities. We continued to reduce the Portfolio’s emerging markets risk in November and December by decreasing its long positions in emerging markets equities and local emerging markets debt, eventually removing the Portfolio’s medium-term cycle-aware positions in the emerging markets altogether. |
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 aco-lead or team structure, with multiple subject matter experts.

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

Performance Summary
December 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value, as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on January 1, 2009 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Portfolio’s benchmarks, the Satellite Strategies Composite Index (the “Satellite Composite”), which is comprised of 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “BBCAB Index”), 30% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500® Index”), and 30% of the MSCI® Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (the “MSCI EAFE Index”), the S&P 500® Index, the BBCAB Index and the MSCI EAFE Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (all with distributions reinvested), are shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations currently in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding underlying mutual fund selection and allocations among them, other factors may affect Portfolio performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Portfolio operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Portfolio.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
December 31, 2018
1. ORGANIZATION |
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 swap contracts 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
100
GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
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 distributable earnings 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).

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
December 31, 2018
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 either the Class R6 Shares or the Institutional 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 generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives 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.
Aforward foreign currency exchange contractis 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. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Portfolio equal to
102
GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 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.
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.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Portfolios’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2018:

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.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Portfolios’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of 0.124% for the Satellite Strategies Portfolio and 0.15% for each of the other Portfolios.
B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of each Portfolio, 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 Portfolios, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each Portfolio, 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 Portfolios, as set forth below.
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 | ||||||||||||||||
Class A* | Class C | Class R* | Service | |||||||||||||
Distribution and/or Service Plan | 0.25 | % | 0.75 | % | 0.50 | % | 0.25 | % |

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
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. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts:
Front End Sales Charge | Contingent Deferred Sales Charge | |||||||||

Growth Strategy | 16,357 | 1,124 | ||||||||
Satellite Strategies | 2,435 | 13 |
D. Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, 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% 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, 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.

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of December 31, 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.

(1) | The Equity Growth Strategy, Growth and Income Strategy and Growth Strategy Portfolios utilized $12,496,850, $16,468,549, $17,785,442, respectively, of capital losses in the current fiscal year. The Equity Growth Strategy, Growth and Income Strategy, Growth Strategy and Satellite Strategies Portfolios had capital loss carryforwards of $64,111,329, $171,139,087, $163,489,663 and $853,855, respectively, which expired in the current fiscal year. |
As of December 31, 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 | $ | 497,485,413 | $ | 295,222,275 | $ | 909,858,387 | $ | 803,646,941 | $ | 408,966,997 | ||||||||||
Gross unrealized gain | — | 7,206,672 | 453,856 | 2,839,620 | 18,447,235 | |||||||||||||||
Gross unrealized loss | (44,902,134 | ) | (12,182,383 | ) | (72,563,340 | ) | (59,005,126 | ) | (25,237,069 | ) | ||||||||||
Net unrealized gains (losses) | $ | (44,902,134 | ) | $ | (4,975,711 | ) | $ | (72,109,484 | ) | $ | (56,165,506 | ) | $ | (6,789,834 | ) |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures and options contracts, net mark to market gains/(losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments.
The Equity Growth Strategy, Growth and Income Strategy, Growth Strategy and Satellite Strategies Portfolios reclassed $64,111,329, $171,177,286, $163,520,052 and $853,855 from paid-in capital to distributable earnings, respectively. In order to present certain components of the Portfolios’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Portfolios’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Portfolios’ and result primarily from redemptions utilized as distributions, taxable overdistributions and expired capital loss carryforwards.
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.
8. OTHER RISKS |
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

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 inthe transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involvesinvestment 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.
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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains 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 or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests 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. If a Portfolio is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Portfolio’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. 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. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with a Portfolio’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
9. INDEMNIFICATIONS |
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Portfolios. Additionally, in the course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
10. OTHER MATTERS |
In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Portfolios’ fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Effective February 28, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), there will be changes to the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio’s name and principal investment strategy. After the Effective Date, the Portfolio will reduce its investment allocation to underlying funds while increasing its allocation to derivative instruments to gain exposure to global equity asset classes. However, the Portfolio’s current investment objective to seek long-term capital appreciation will not change. After the close of business on February 28, 2019, the Portfolio’s name will change to the “Goldman Sachs Dynamic Global Equity Fund.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of
Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of 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
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of 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 (five of the portfolios constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of December 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUND OF FUNDS PORTFOLIOS
Portfolio Expenses — Six Month Period Ended December 31, 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 July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, which represents a period of 181 days of a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses —The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes— The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolios’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees and do not include expenses of Underlying Funds in which the Portfolios invest. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 the12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of-9.31%,-9.96%,-8.89%,-9.00%,-9.49% and-8.88%, respectively. These returns compare to the-7.87% average annual 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. The Fund’s former benchmark, the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), returned-7.04% during the same period. |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of-5.91% compared to the-5.04% cumulative total return of the Index. The Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) returned-4.37% during the same period. |
Q | What economic and market factors most influenced global infrastructure companies during the Reporting Period? |
A | Global equities, including global infrastructure securities, saw a strong start to the Reporting Period in January 2018, driven by market exuberance over strong economic data, the $1.5 trillion U.S. tax reform plan signed into law during December 2017 and a favorable start to the corporate earnings season. In February, however, global 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 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 anothersell-off in the U.S. equity markets. (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 in the 2018 calendar year. (The “dot plot” shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee.) In Europe, an agreement between the U.K. and the European Union on a21-month Brexit transition reduced political uncertainty. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s exit from the European Union.) Elsewhere, the increase in global risk aversion during the first calendar quarter resulted in the appreciation of the Japanese yen, which pressured Japanese equities. A land sale scandal involving the Japanese administration also hurt investor sentiment. In Australia, its central bank left interest rates on hold at a record low of 1.5% for the nineteenth consecutive month because of weak wage growth and low inflation, despite positive business and macroeconomic conditions amid a strengthening economic recovery. |
Although the U.S. and China continued to generate trade headlines, the impact on global equities was relatively muted in April 2018, as investors remained relatively resistant to the risk of a trade war. May 2018 was a volatile month amid political and protectionism concerns. U.S. equities rallied, driven by upside surprises in economic activity and sentiment data. However, the rally was hampered by escalating geopolitical uncertainty stemming from an unexpected political outcome in Italy, the ongoing unpredictability around the U.S.-North Korea summit, and escalating trade tensions with many U.S. allies. In June 2018, |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
the Fed raised short-term interest rates, as widely anticipated, but the outcome of the Fed meeting was more hawkish than the consensus had expected. 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 market sentiment, with the U.S. threatening tariffs on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods and China vowing to retaliate. |
In the third quarter of 2018, global equity market volatility was high, driven by tense rhetoric between the U.S. and China, as well as between the U.S. and key allies, and by strong U.S. macroeconomic data relative to other developed markets. In July 2018, are-escalation of trade tensions and renewed fears of a Chinese economic slowdown tamped down investor risk sentiment, but fiscal stimulus policies announced by the Chinese government and the promising outcome of a trade meeting between the U.S. and European Union ultimately lifted global equities higher. Global equities continued to rally in August 2018, led by the U.S., where strong domestic economic data outweighed the headwinds of moderating global economic growth as well as trade and diplomatic tensions.Non-U.S. developed markets equities were more vulnerable to these headwinds as well as to political risk in Europe ahead of the Italian budget, but they reboundedmid-month on various tailwinds that included a strong corporate earnings season and progress on negotiations surrounding what was the North American Free Trade Agreement. At its September 2018 policy meeting, the Fed raised short-term interest rates for the third time in 2018 and signaled another rate hike during the calendar year against the backdrop of solid U.S. economic growth, inflation near the Fed’s 2% target and healthy monthly job gains. The successful negotiations among the U.S., Canada and Mexico near the end of September was broadly supportive of investor sentiment. |
During the fourth quarter of 2018, global equities sold off, though global infrastructure securities held up better than the broader global equity market. When the quarter began, global stocks fell sharply on continued escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions, political uncertainty and a delayed reaction to rising interest rates. They had a brief reprieve in November 2018 on dovish comments from Fed Chair Powell and encouraging progress in U.S.-China trade talks but then plunged in December on renewed investor fears, which were sparked by the arrest of a Chinese technology executive, the partial U.S. federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Powell. By the end of the Reporting Period, the Fed had hiked interest rates four times in 2018 and communicated an upbeat view of its economic outlook, spurred by strong U.S. labor and inflation data. Meanwhile, escalating trade tensions, fears of a global economic slowdown and populist politics continued to weigh on investor sentiment. Political uncertainty remained elevated in Europe, particularly surrounding the Italian fiscal budget and ongoing Brexit negotiations. |
For the Reporting Period overall, the global infrastructure market, as measured by the Index, generated an average annual total return of -7.87%. Canada and Italy were the worst performing markets, followed by France and the U.K. The top performing market was Japan, followed at some distance by Hong Kong. Within market sectors, energy and transportation companies recorded losses. Utilities companies also declined, though much more modestly. On the positive side, the communications sector generated gains. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by its underweight position versus the Index in the communications subsector*, especially by its allocation to telecommunications towers. In addition, an overweight in the transportation sector, specifically toll roads and airports, detracted from relative performance. Within the energy sector, the Fund benefited from its allocation to energy master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), which are represented in the Index. |
In terms of security selection, the Fund’s investments in the transportation sector, particularly toll roads, and in the communications and utilities sectors detracted from returns. Conversely, selection in the energy sector contributed positively to relative performance. Among countries, security selection in Spain had a negative impact on results as did selection and an underweight position in Hong Kong. The Fund was helped by security selection in the U.S. and Canada. |
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 Williams Companies, Aena SME and Atlantia. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Williams Companies (WMB), an energy infrastructure company focused on connecting North America’s natural gas and natural gas liquids markets, detracted most from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The stock performed poorly after WMB completed a simplification transaction,1 in which it acquired its underlying MLP, Williams Partners LP, at a 7% premium in an allstock-for-unit deal valued at $10.5 billion. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on the company, however, and continued to believe WMB can benefit from growing natural gas production and end market demand. |
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. After monitoring the company for some time, we decided to purchase the stock early in the second quarter of 2018, which turned out to be near the stock’s peak share price. In our view, shares declined because of their elevated valuation. However, at the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on Aena’s prospects. We note that passenger air traffic growth remained steady, and in this context, we considered the stock attractive relative to other developed markets airports. |
Another notable detractor from the Fund’s relative returns was Atlantia, an owner of Italian toll roads and airports. Its shares declined sharply following the tragic collapse of a motorway bridge, one of Atlantia’s concessions, in Genoa, Italy that resulted in multiple casualties. The collapse led to many uncertainties for the company in the short term, including the value of the concession, cost of damages and insurance coverage. Therefore, we trimmed the Fund’s position in the stock and continue to monitor the company. While we expect its stock price to be volatile in the near term, we maintained a positive long-term outlook on Atlantia at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | What individual holdings added most to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, Williams Partners L.P., PG&E and Atmos Energy were leading positive contributors to the Fund’s relative returns. |
Williams Partners L.P. (WPZ), a naturalgas-focused midstream2 energy company with operations in numerous U.S. basins, was the top contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares appreciated on news it would be acquired by WMB in the simplification transaction mentioned previously. Market participants appeared to believe the merger would provide immediate benefits to shareholders, while also simplifying the company’s corporate structure, streamlining its governance and preserving its investment grade credit rating. |
The Fund’s underweight compared to the Index in PG&E added to its relative returns. The utilities company’s shares declined in response to a wildfire outbreak in California and news that its equipment might have caused the destructive fire. Furthermore, investors grew concerned the liability from the fire could send the company into bankruptcy. The stock price recovered modestly after the California Public Utilities Commission President announced a PG&E bankruptcy would not happen. Despite the stock’s inexpensive valuation at the end of the Reporting Period, we saw few catalysts in the near term and therefore, the Fund maintained an underweight position.(On January 14, 2019, after the close of the Reporting Period, PG&E declared its intent to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy.) |
U.S. natural gas distributor Atmos Energy further enhanced the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Its stock price appreciated during September 2018, though the company modestly missed market expectations for second quarter earnings. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on what we considered to be Atmos Energy’s solid balance sheet as well as its successful and recent cost-cutting initiatives, which may lead to additional growth for the company, in our view. |
Q | Were there any notable purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a position in CMS Energy, a high quality regulated utility with exposure to what we consider a favorable regulatory environment in Michigan. We established the position because we believe the company has the ability to deliver consistent earnings per share growth, and we have a positive view of its management team and its |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
strategy. Furthermore, we thought its shares were trading at an attractive valuation relative to its peers. |
Another notable purchase was Xcel Energy, a regulated U.S. utility that specializes in electricity and natural gas. We initiated the position due to what we believed were the company’s above-average growth prospects, driven by its investment in renewable energy in what we consider reasonable regulatory environments. We saw an attractive entry point because of the stock’s then-recent short-term underperformance and its suppressed valuation. |
Also during the Reporting Period, the Fund made an investment in Spark Infrastructure Group, an owner and operator of electricity distribution networks in Australia. The company’s shares retreated after a draft of tighter rate of return regulations were released in June 2018; the regulations could potentially lead to a lower allowed rate of return on the company’s assets. As investors priced in the downside of these possible changes, the stock began trading at what we felt was an attractive valuation, even after more regulatory clarity was provided. Although we believe regulatory headwinds might remain, Spark Infrastructure Group offers a distribution yield of more than 7%, higher than its peer group, and we think the company could continue to grow this yield over the medium term should it continue to expand its asset base and improve its cost of capital. |
Notable sales included China Gas Holdings, a gas operator and infrastructure manager. The company’s shares rallied during the second quarter of 2018 on the back of strong gas sales volume growth and new connections fromcoal-to-gas users among Chinese residential households. Following this period of strong performance, we thought the stock had limited upside, and so we eliminated the Fund’s position in favor of higher conviction ideas. |
We also exited the Fund’s investment in Equinix during the Reporting Period. We had originally purchased shares of the U.S. 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. |
In addition, we sold the Fund’s position in NiSource, a high quality Indiana-based electric and gas utility company. We originally bought the stock after the company raised its forecast for earnings per share growth from4%-6% to5%-7%, and its management announced plans to grow dividends in line with earnings per share. NiSource’s stock appreciated strongly during the Reporting Period, driven by8%-10% annual growth in its rate base through the company’s healthy pipeline of infrastructure investments. We decided to realize the Fund’s gains and redeploy the capital to other longer-term investment opportunities. |
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, we increased the Fund’s exposure to the communications sector, though it remained relatively neutral compared to the Index, by adding investments in telecommunications towers. The Fund moved from a rather neutral position in the transportation sector to a slightly overweight position, as we increased exposure to airports and trimmed exposure to toll road companies. In addition, during the Reporting Period, the Fund maintained a rather neutral position relative to the Index in the energy sector, even as we eliminated exposure to energy MLPs. In utilities, we moved the Fund from an underweight position to a rather neutral position, largely by adding exposure to diversified utility companies. From a country perspective, compared to the Index, the Fund moved from an overweight in Italy to a relatively neutral position. The Fund maintained a rather neutral position in Canada but we reduced its Canadian investments overall. In addition, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s overweight in the U.S. increased as did its overweight positions versus the Index in Spain and the U.K. |
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the transportation sector. It was rather neutral compared to the Index in the energy, utilities and communications sectors. In geographic terms, the Fund was |
4
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
overweight the U.S., France and Australia and underweight Hong Kong 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 market sentiment would shift toward defensive sectors as the economic cycle continues to age. Because of market concerns around slowing global economic growth, combined with the impact of steadily rising interest rates, we also think investors may seek more value-oriented sectors with predictable cash flows and attractive yields. Should this scenario materialize, we believe the Fund is well positioned to capitalize on this market rotation due to the strong fundamentals of its holdings. |
In the near term, we believe the financing environment for global infrastructure companies will likely continue to be accommodative, which is particularly important given the capital-intensive nature of these businesses. Furthermore, diverging global central bank monetary policies and varying fundamentals at thesub-sector level may present compelling investment opportunities, in our view. Overall, we believe global infrastructure securities can provide investors with attractive yields and lower volatility relative to the broader equity market, with potential for upside performance from mergers and acquisitions activity. Compared to bonds, we think they offer long-term growth potential, inflation hedging opportunities and resilience to interest rate fluctuations. |

1. ORGANIZATION |
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) is anon-diversified portfolio and currently offers seven classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P (commenced operations on April 17, 2018), Class R, and Class R6 Shares.
Class A Shares are sold with afront-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, 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 Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Fund’s valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-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 itspro-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, andnon-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/orpro-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 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 theex-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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings 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 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 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 GSAMday-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.
24
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
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.
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 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 andbuy-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 December 31, 2018:

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.

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
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 arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Fund’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
Management Fee Waiver | Transfer Agency Waivers/Credits | Other Expense Reimbursements | Total Expense Reductions | |||||||||

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of December 31, 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates —For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 , Goldman Sachs did not earn any brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, on behalf of the Fund.
The following table provides information about the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Fund as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018:

6. TAX INFORMATION |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, was as follows:
2017 | 2018 | |||||||
Distribution paid from: | ||||||||
Ordinary income | $ | 4,173,777 | $ | 4,375,896 | ||||

Total taxable distributions | $ | 4,182,252 | $ | 4,375,896 | ||||
Tax return of capital | $ | 79,876 | $ | — |
As of December 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income — net | $ | 424,617 | ||
Undistributed long-term capital gains | — | |||
Total undistributed earnings | $ | 424,617 | ||
Capital loss carryforwards: | ||||

Unrealized gains (losses) — net | (12,750,987 | ) | ||
Total accumulated earnings (losses) — net | $ | (19,862,749 | ) |
As of December 31, 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 | $ | 203,597,838 | ||
Gross unrealized gain | 9,906,032 | |||
Gross unrealized loss | (22,657,019 | ) | ||
Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities | $ | (12,750,987 | ) |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The Fund reclassed $804,022 from paid in capital to distributable earnings for the year ending December 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on atax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund’s and result primarily from differences in the tax treatment of partnership investments and underlying fund 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.
7. OTHER RISKS |
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
28
GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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 ofnon-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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains 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 or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests 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. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests.
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.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
December 31, 2018
7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 isnon-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.
8. INDEMNIFICATIONS |
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.
9. OTHER MATTERS |
In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of
Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund (one of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statementof operations for the year ended December 31, 2018and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year ended December 31, 2018,and the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GOLDMAN SACHS GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
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 July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days in a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses —The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual
expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual net expense 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.

Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: |

1 | You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time. |

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 the12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of-5.77%,-6.45%,-5.41%,-5.50%,-5.97% and-5.44%, respectively. These returns compare to the-5.46% average annual 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-4.74% during the same period. |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of-2.69%. This compares to the-2.12% cumulative total return of the FTSE Index during the same time period. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Gross, USD, unhedged) returned-1.59% 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, returned-5.46%. The U.K. and Singapore were the weakest performing markets, while Japan was the only country that posted a positive return for the Reporting Period. The Singapore real estate market experienced improving macroeconomic conditions and apick-up in broad-based domestic demand. However, despite these factors, it also saw its locally-listed real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) struggle due to market concerns about the sustainability of the current residential cycle, driven by the broader rising interest rate environment and elevated10-year Singapore government securities yields. In Japan, on the other hand, demand for property markets benefited from ongoing quantitative easing by the Bank of Japan as well as from better than consensus expected Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | Most share classes of the Fund closely tracked the FTSE Index during the Reporting Period. Stock selection in the U.K., Australia and Canada contributed most positively. Stock selection in the U.S., continental Europe and Singapore detracted most. Sector allocation overall had a modestly positive effect on relative results during the Reporting Period, attributable primarily to a position in cash during a calendar year when the FTSE Index declined. |
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings? |
A | HCP, a REIT that invests in health care-related real estate throughout the U.S., was the top positive contributor to the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Its stock performed well in 2018, as the company made great progress in strengthening its balance sheet in efforts to drive more consistent cash flows. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were pleased with HCP’s high exposure to triple net leases relative to its peers, which, in our view, mitigates the risk of weak occupancy rates in senior housing on a forward-looking basis. (Triple net properties are typically 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.) Additionally, we viewed HCP as well positioned in its life science business segment given its presence in San Francisco and San Diego, two of the largest markets for this business segment. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Orix JREIT, a Japanese REIT(“J-REIT”) primarily managing high quality office and retail leasing properties in Tokyo, was another top contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The REIT was one of the top performingJ-REITs in 2018. Its property portfolio benefited from a robust business and leasing environment in Tokyo, while its management team effectively executed the purchase of a few quality assets early in the Reporting Period. As Orix JREIT outperformed the FTSE Index during the Reporting Period, 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. |
Q | Which positions detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | Welltower, a U.S. health care REIT operating a mix of senior housing, medical office buildings and skilled nursing facilities, was the 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 revenue, and thus the Fund’s relative performance was negatively affected by being underweight the name. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Welltower, as the company benefits, in our view, from a strong balance sheet, ratings momentum, an improving portfolio of properties and low issuance risk. In addition, we believed Welltower was well positioned to capitalize on aging demographic trends. |
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. Its weak performance was largely attributable to new property cooling measures announced by the Singapore government targeting speculative buyers and foreigners. While strong fundamentals for the occupier market largely remained intact, with completion rates estimated to remain below the historical average for the next three years and withdrawals from the residential supply caused by “en bloc” sales, we believe the cooling measures have the potential to reduce land banking and en bloc participation by developers. (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.) At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed City Developments remained 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, were-initiated a position in Mitsubishi Estate, having sold the Fund’s position in this Japanese diversified real estate landlord and developer 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, were-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 GLPJ-REIT, a large-scale logistics warehouse manager, during the Reporting Period. In line with other logistics peers, GLPJ-REIT had underperformed the broaderJ-REIT 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, ase-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 GLPJ-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. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Conversely, 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, we felt the developer’s new office project completions may incur higher than consensus expected opening costs, as indicated by its management team’s modest guidance for full-year 2018 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. |
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., early in 2018. Shares of the company underperformed the FTSE Index early in the Reporting Period, largely due to the broad-based pullback in the retail sector in January 2018. As such, we decided to eliminate the Fund position and allocate the proceeds to names we felt had greater risk/return potential. |
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 the U.S., continental Europe and Singapore decreased relative to the FTSE Index during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s position in cash increased. |
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 overweight relative to the FTSE Index in the U.S., France, Spain, Ireland and Norway, was rather neutrally weighted compared to the FTSE Index in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and Sweden, and was underweighted in the other constituent countries of the FTSE Index at the end of December 2018. |
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 resume their generation of 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. 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 inlow-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. |
As for the U.S. real estate market, we maintained a constructive outlook for U.S. REITs overall at the end of the Reporting Period. First, despite being late in the real estate cycle, we believed fundamentals remained generally healthy, with limited supply and stable or improving demand. Second, we felt the macro backdrop for REITs had improved with a moderating economic growth outlook and ebbing interest |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
rate concerns. This improved backdrop is, in our view, a positive for financing costs, which, in turn, may translate to increased flows from investors seeking defense, yield and potentially better returns. Third, in our opinion, the dividend sustainability potential of REITs is high, and the quality of REITs’ growth has improved. Fourth, increased merger and acquisition activity should provide additional support to the sector, as record levels of private capital may translate to price discovery in listed markets. Finally, despite the decline of the fourth quarter of 2018, we believe valuations of most REITs remained attractive, especially relative to bonds, equities and private real estate companies. |
Against this backdrop, we believe U.S. REIT returns may fall somewhere between those of equities and fixed income over the long term given that U.S. REITs offer some equity-like attributes, such as the ability to grow, and some fixed income-like attributes, such as attractive yield. For the upcoming calendar year, we believe U.S. REITs may offer attractive returns that outperform both fixed income and equities, especially cyclical equities, given moderating interest rate and economic growth market expectations. We believe such U.S. REIT returns will likely be comprised of dividend yield and growth (factoring in no multiple expansion), with the potential for upside from merger and acquisition activity. |

Performance Summary
December 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on August 31, 2015 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (with dividends reinvested), and the Fund’s former benchmark, FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (with dividends reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decision regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Investment Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the12-month period ended December 31, 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 average annual total returns, without sales charges, of-7.19%,-7.89%,-6.72%,-7.00% and-6.71%, respectively. These returns compare to the-6.41% average annual 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 FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Ex US Real Estate Index (gross, USD, unhedged) returned-5.79% for the same period. |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of-8.45%. This compares to the-7.17% 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-6.70% 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 one percentage point, but outperformed the broad international equity market, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index (net), by just less than eight 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. |
The Real Estate Index returned-1.08% during the third quarter of 2018. The U.K. and Japan generated negative absolute returns, while Canada and Singapore were the best performing markets. The U.K. REIT market underperformed due to ongoing concerns around Brexit, or the U.K.’s exit from the European Union, along with a softening retail landscape. A healthy residential market led Canadian REITs higher during the quarter. |
The Real Estate Index returned-5.23% during the fourth quarter of 2018. Japan was the only market in the Real Estate Index to generate a positive return during the quarter, while the U.K. and continental Europe were the worst performing regions. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
For the Reporting Period 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 subsector*, 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 first half of the Reporting Period already matched that of calendar year 2017. Still, data showed that such disruption was not as universal as many had thought, with high quality retail posting improving sales and revenue figures. The industrial subsector benefited from this disruption conversely, as there was growing demand for quicker shipments of goods, requiring locations near city centers, which tend to be more expensive and higher quality real estate. This 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 subsector was another 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, Japan was the best performing market by far and the only one to post a positive return. The U.K., Singapore and continental Europe were the weakest performing markets during the Reporting Period. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund underperformed the Real Estate Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period. Stock selection in continental Europe and Singapore detracted most from the Fund’s relative results. Partially offsetting these detractors was stock selection in the U.K., Canada and Australia, which contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. |
From a subsector perspective, stock selection in the office, residential and industrial subsectors detracted. Partially offsetting these detractors was stock selection in retail and diversified, which contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. Having a position in cash during a Reporting Period when the Real Estate Index declined also added value. |
Q | Which positions detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | A position in Klepierre, which is 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 purchaseU.K-based mall owner Hammerson during the Reporting Period for 50% cash and 50% shares. 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. |
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. Its weak performance was largely attributable to new property cooling measures announced by the Singapore government targeting speculative buyers and foreigners. While strong fundamentals for the occupier market largely remained intact, with completion rates estimated to remain below the historical average for the next three years and withdrawals from the residential supply caused by “en bloc” sales, we believe the cooling measures have the potential to reduce land banking and en bloc participation by developers. (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.) At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed City Developments remained 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 | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings? |
A | Hammerson, a mall owner headquartered in the U.K., was the top positive contributor to the Fund’s relative results |

during the Reporting Period. As mentioned earlier, the company received a 50% cash/50% shares offer from Klepierre, a French REIT shopping center owner, during March 2018, which was promptly rejected by Hammerson, as it felt the bid was highly opportunistic. Hammerson also placed a bid to purchase Intu Properties, another U.K.-based shopping center owner, which ultimately fell through. Shares of Hammerson traded higher because of the bid. Given its strong performance, we opted to sell the Fund’s position in Hammerson by the end of the Reporting Period, taking profits. |
Sumitomo Realty & Development (“Sumitomo”), a Japanese diversified real estate landlord and developer, also contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The company enjoyed strong momentum in both presales among its central Tokyo apartment projects and office leasing on the back of low office vacancy levels. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Sumitomo had solid completion pipelines for both apartment and office segments, which, in our view, could help to support its future earnings growth. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund did not use the 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 GLPJ-REIT, a large-scale logistics warehouse manager, during the Reporting Period. In line with other logistics peers, GLPJ-REIT had underperformed the broaderJ-REIT 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, ase-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 GLPJ-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 office properties in France. In our view, Gecina has the opportunity to continue to benefit from a supportive office market in Paris and may have the potential to grow rental income in the coming years. |
Conversely, in addition to the sale of Hammerson already mentioned, we sold the Fund’s position in Nippon Building Fund, Japan’s largest REIT focused on the Tokyo office market. Shares of the REIT rallied during the Reporting Period, reversing its underperformance at the end of 2017, on the back of positive trends in the Tokyo office market, including robust leasing activity and modest rental growth. As such, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in the stock to take profits and reallocate the capital to what we see as higher risk-return opportunities. |
We eliminated the Fund’s position in Nomura Real Estate Master Fund (“NMF”), a diversified Japanese REIT owning Tokyo prime office, residential and logistics assets. NMF was one of the best performing Japanese REITs during the Reporting Period on the back of strong leasing activity across its residential and logistics warehouse properties. However, we believe its future growth may be largely dependent on asset purchases from third parties and parent Nomura Group, hence increasing equity issuance and potentially dilution risk as well. As such, we took profits in NMF, selling the Fund’s position by the end of the Reporting Period. |
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 Japan and Singapore decreased relative to the Real Estate Index. The Fund’s position in cash increased. |
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 overweighted relative to the Real Estate Index in Hong Kong, France, Spain, the U.S., Ireland and Norway, was underweighted in Germany, Singapore and Australia and was rather neutrally weighted to the remaining regions of the Real Estate Index at the end of December 2018. The Fund also had anout-of-benchmark exposure to India 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 international REITs could resume its generation of 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. 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 inlow-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 12-month period ended December 31, 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 average annual total returns, without sales charges, of-5.39%, -6.12%, -5.04%, -5.56%, -5.18%, -5.62% and-5.03%, respectively. These returns compare to the -4.80% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Wilshire Index”) during the same period. |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of 1.36%. This compares to the 2.14% 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 negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period that only modestly lagged the broad U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index, which returned -4.38% 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. Subsectors* 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 negatively impacted bye-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 subsector 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. real estate investment trusts (“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 as well. Primary drivers for the strong performance were increased activity in the mergers and acquisitions space, a solid U.S. economy off the back of the then-recently enacted U.S. tax reform legislation (which was a particularly important catalyst of demand for commercial real estate), higher construction costs limiting new construction, attractive valuations and a gradual rise in interest rates. The hotel subsector 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. |
During the third quarter of 2018, the Wilshire Index was relatively flat, returning 0.73%. Despite the strong economic backdrop, U.S. REITs underperformed the broader equity market, as investors grew concerned about a potential trade war, tariffs and rising interest rates. Residential and retail |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
REITs were the top performing subsectors, while self-storage and office underperformed the Wilshire Index during the quarter. Retail REITs benefited from a strong consumer backdrop, while self-storage struggled amid concerns about 2019 economic growth. |
The Wilshire Index returned -6.98% during the fourth quarter of 2018. For much of the calendar year, REITs had underperformed the broader U.S. equity market, as investors looked for stronger growth in other areas of the market. However, U.S. REITs made up ground in the fourth quarter of 2018, as the U.S. equity market was adversely affected by the technology turmoil, the pullback of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and the persistent tit-for-tat trade wars. During the quarter, health care and self-storage were the top performing subsectors, while hotels and technology REITs underperformed the Wilshire Index. Health care benefited as the subsector is less cycle dependent and comparatively more defensive. Technology REITs were pressured by interest rates and weaker than consensus expected fourth quarter 2018 bookings. |
For the Reporting Period overall, the strongest subsectors in the Wilshire Index were triple net, health care and residential. Conversely, the technology, office and hotel subsectors were the weakest performers within the Wilshire Index during the Reporting Period. (Triple net properties are typically 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.) |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund underperformed the Wilshire Index during the Reporting Period. Weak stock selection in the health care and industrials subsectors detracted most. Having no exposure to the triple net subsector, the strongest subsector in the Wilshire Index during the Reporting Period, also dampened relative results. Contributing most positively to the Fund’s relative results was effective individual stock selection in the retail, hotel and self-storage subsectors. |
Q | What were some of the Fund’s weakest-performing individual holdings? |
A | Welltower, a U.S. health care REIT operating a mix of senior housing, medical office buildings and skilled nursing facilities, was the 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, and thus the Fund’s relative performance was negatively affected by being underweight the name. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive on Welltower, as the company benefits, in our view, from a strong balance sheet, ratings momentum, an improving portfolio of properties and low issuance risk. In addition, we believed Welltower was well positioned to capitalize on aging demographic trends. |
RLJ Lodging Trust, a U.S. hotel REIT, also detracted from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Its shares declined after the company reported second quarter 2018 earnings that met market expectations but led investors to question its second half 2018 growth due to unchanged full year guidance. Hurricane Florence, although not causing any significant damage to RLJ Lodging Trust assets, negatively affected the company, as it saw a sharp reduction in demand and an increase in room cancellations. This ultimately led the company to adjust its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization guidance below market expectations, which weighed on its stock’s performance further. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained constructive on the REIT, however, and we believed RLJ Lodging Trust was trading at compelling valuations relative to its peers. We also were pleased with its approximately 6% dividend yield. We believed the company would likely continue to benefit from what we view as its attractive portfolio of assets and from strong demand growth at the subsector level. |
Q | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual holdings? |
A | HCP, a REIT that invests in health care-related real estate throughout the U.S., was the top positive contributor to the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. Its stock performed well in 2018, as the company made great progress in strengthening its balance sheet in efforts to drive more consistent cash flows. At the end of the Reporting Period, we were pleased with HCP’s high exposure to triple net leases relative to its peers, which, in our view, mitigates the risk of weak occupancy rates in senior housing on a forward-looking basis. Additionally, we viewed HCP as well positioned in its life science business segment given its presence in San Francisco and San Diego, two of the largest markets for this business segment. |
Equity Residential, a REIT managing apartment complexes primarily in the coastal regions of the U.S., was also a top contributor to Fund returns during the Reporting Period. |
19
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Shares of the company appreciated following the Global Property CEO Conference, where Equity Residential’s management team discussed its stock’s favorable valuation, which was trading at a discount to its net asset value. Additionally, the team encouraged investors to focus on the positive long-term demand trends in the apartment subsector, while supply was expected, in its view, to decrease in the coming years. In our view, Equity Residential’s stock had among the lowest leverage, the strongest balance sheet and the highest quality assets of any REIT in the apartment subsector, and thus we continued to like this name at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund used forward contracts to reduce currency risk. This had a modestly positive effect on the Fund’s performance. |
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 Essex Property Trust, a REIT that invests in apartment communities, primarily on the west coast of the U.S. Shares of the company increased during the Reporting Period after it reported first quarter earnings that beat market expectations while raising its guidance for the remainder of 2018. We were impressed by the company’s 3.3% same-store revenue growth rate. We also felt Essex Property Trust was well positioned to capitalize on external growth, as its Station Park Green development project nears completion in a high demand San Mateo, California area. In our view, Essex Property Trust has one of the best management teams in the industry and should continue to benefit from its exposures in high growth west coast markets where the cost to own is prohibitively high. We believe this dynamic should benefit rentals moving forward assuming labor markets and income growth remain generally healthy. |
We initiated 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. |
Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in EastGroup Properties, an owner of business distribution properties in the sunbelt region of the U.S. Shares of the company rose steadily during the Reporting Period, driven by favorable quarterly earnings, particularly in the third quarter of 2018, as leasing spreads remained healthy. As a result, its shares reached our price target, and we exited the position to transition capital into what we viewed as more compelling return/risk opportunities. |
We exited the Fund’s position in Cousins Properties, an office REIT with properties in the sunbelt region of the U.S. Shares of the company declined during the Reporting Period, partially driven by softer office employment growth in its key markets. During the Reporting Period, we decided to eliminate the position in favor of opportunities where we saw greater risk-adjusted return potential. |
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 industrial, retail and technology subsectors increased relative to the Wilshire Index and its exposure to the office subsector 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 retail, office and hotel subsectors at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had overweighted exposures compared to the Wilshire Index in the office subsector at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund was underweighted compared to the Wilshire Index in the industrial subsector and was rather neutrally weighted in the remaining subsectors of the Wilshire Index. The Fund had no exposure to the triple net subsector at the end of the Reporting Period. |
20
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 maintained a constructive outlook for U.S. REITs overall. First, despite being late in the real estate cycle, we believed fundamentals remained generally healthy, with limited supply and stable or improving demand. Second, we felt the macro backdrop for REITs had improved with a moderating economic growth outlook and ebbing interest rate concerns. This improved backdrop is, in our view, a positive for financing costs, which, in turn, may translate to increased flows from investors seeking defense, yield and potentially better returns. Third, in our opinion, the dividend sustainability potential of REITs is high, and the quality of REITs’ growth has improved. Fourth, increased merger and acquisition activity should provide additional support to the sector, as record levels of private capital may translate to price discovery in listed markets. Finally, despite the decline of the fourth quarter of 2018, we believe valuations of most REITs remained attractive, especially relative to bonds, equities and private real estate companies. |
Against this backdrop, we believe U.S. REIT returns may fall somewhere between those of equities and fixed income over the long term given that U.S. REITs offer some equity-like attributes, such as the ability to grow, and some fixed income-like attributes, such as attractive yield. For the upcoming calendar year, we believe U.S. REITs may offer attractive returns that outperform both fixed income and equities, especially cyclical equities, given moderating interest rate and economic growth market expectations. We believe such U.S. REIT returns will be comprised of dividend yield and growth (factoring in no multiple expansion), with the potential for upside from merger and acquisition activity. |

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 or cumulative total returns for periods of 1 year or less. 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, Class R Shares and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |

Performance Summary
December 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on January 1, 2009 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decision regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

GOLDMAN SACHS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUNDS
December 31, 2018
1. ORGANIZATION |
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
Fund | Share Classes Offered | Diversified/ Non-diversified | ||
Global Real Estate Securities | A, C, Institutional, Investor, P(a), R and R6 | Non-diversified | ||
International Real Estate Securities | A, C, Institutional, Investor, P(a) and R6 | Non-diversified | ||
Real Estate Securities | A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, P(a), R and R6 | Non-diversified |
(a) | Commenced operations on April 17, 2018. |
Class A Shares of the Global Real Estate Securities, International Real Estate Securities, and Real Estate Securities Funds are sold with afront-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 Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized onex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to theex-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, andnon-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/orpro-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 and to distribute each
57

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 theex-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 distributable earnings 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).
58
GOLDMAN SACHS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUNDS
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 GSAMday-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 the 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 generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence oftwo-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 aremarked-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.
Aforward 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 apre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts aremarked-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.
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 andbuy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

7. SECURITIES LENDING |
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 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 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 its 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 Rule2a-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 Funds may enter into master netting agreements with borrowers, which provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. 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, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of December 31, 2018, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable. The Global Real Estate Fund did not have securities on loan as of December 31, 2018.

(1) | Expiration occurs on December 31 of the year indicated. The International Real Estate Securities Fund utilized $520,557 of capital losses in the current fiscal year. The International Real Estate Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $18,621,372 which expired in the current fiscal year. |
As of December 31, 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 | International Real Estate | Real Estate Securities | ||||||||||
Tax cost | $ | 318,407,685 | $ | 100,768,086 | $ | 122,994,289 | ||||||
Gross unrealized gain | 7,697,798 | 4,192,230 | 42,644,660 | |||||||||
Gross unrealized loss | (19,175,452 | ) | (10,556,207 | ) | (4,516,974 | ) | ||||||
Net unrealized gain (loss) | $ | (11,477,654 | ) | $ | (6,363,977 | ) | $ | 38,127,686 |
The difference between GAAP-basis andtax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on foreign currency contracts, differences related to the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, partnership investments and passive foreign investment companies.
The International Real Estate Securities Fund reclassified $18,630,198 from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending December 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from expired capital loss carryforwards.
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.
9. OTHER RISKS |
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk —The Fund’s use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid,
67

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
December 31, 2018
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the 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, 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.
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 ofnon-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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
68
GOLDMAN SACHS REAL ESTATE SECURITIES FUNDS
9. 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 or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests 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. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Funds’ 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 arenon-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.
10. INDEMNIFICATIONS |
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.
11. OTHER MATTERS |
In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)2018-13— Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of
Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund
and Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Global Real Estate Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund and Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund (three of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended December 31, 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 July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses— The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes— The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 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 the12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (“the Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of-2.80%,-3.60%,-2.47%,-2.58%,-3.13% and-2.46%, respectively. These returns compare to the-6.72% average annual 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 December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of-3.17%. This compares to the-6.64% 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 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-11.68%. Equity long/short hedge funds, as measured by the HFRX Equity Hedge Index, generated a return of-9.42%. Global macro hedge funds followed, with the HFRX Macro/CTA Index returning-3.25% for the Reporting Period. Relative value hedge funds performed comparatively best during the Reporting Period, with the HFRX Relative Value Arbitrage Index returning-1.17%. |
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 |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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. |
Hedge funds were slightly down overall in July 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning-0.15% for the month. Equities were broadly up against a backdrop of strong corporate earnings and economic data, particularly as U.S. Government bond yields rose during the month, and the U.S. Dollar Index was essentially flat versus global currencies overall. Commodities generally declined across energy and metals, while some agricultural commodities posted gains. For the month of July 2018, hedge funds were mixed across styles, with equity long/short hedge funds up, macro and event driven hedge funds losing ground overall, and relative value hedge funds as a whole rather flat. Hedge funds were then up overall in August 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning 0.45% for the month. Equities were mixed across geographies, with U.S. equities posting gains, while developed and emerging market equities declined. Government bond yields generally declined modestly, and the U.S. dollar gained versus global currencies overall. Commodities were mixed, with oil prices increasing but many agricultural contracts declining. Macro and relative value hedge funds overall posted gains for the month of August, while equity long/short and event driven hedge funds were slightly down for the month. Hedge funds overall were then down again in September 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning-0.69% for the month. Equities were mixed across geographies; global bond yields increased across most maturities as the Fed raised interest rates; and the U.S. dollar depreciated relative to global currencies early in the month before sharply rebounding. Relative value overall was the only group among the four major styles of hedge funds to post positive, albeit modest, gains for the month. |
Hedge funds were down more substantially in October 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning-3.11% for the month. Equities declined sharply in October, and U.S. bond yields edged higher, while European bond yields declined. The U.S. dollar appreciated versus global currencies during the surge in market volatility, and commodities were mixed. Hedge funds were down across all four major styles in October 2018, with event driven hedge funds posting the largest declines. Hedge funds were down again in November 2018, though less so compared to the month prior, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning-0.62% for the month of November. Following a volatile October, global equities fluctuated in November before ending the month slightly up. Most global government bond yields declined; the U.S. dollar appreciated overall relative to global currencies; and commodities were mixed, with oil prices continuing to decline, while natural gas prices rose. Hedge funds were down across all four major styles in November 2018, with event driven hedge funds posting the largest decline, though followed closely by relative value and equity long/short hedge funds. Hedge funds were down again in December 2018, with the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returning-1.93% for the month. Global equities declined sharply overall. Most global government bond yields declined; the U.S. dollar weakened overall relative to global currencies; and commodities were mixed but largely declined, particularly among energy assets. Of the four major styles, macro hedge funds posted modest gains, while equity |

long/short hedge funds declined most, followed by relative value and then event driven hedge funds, which posted more modest losses. |
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 FundSub-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 posted negative absolute returns but significantly outperformed the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index on a relative basis. On an absolute basis, the Fund’s Equity Long/Short Hedge FundSub-Strategy, Macro Hedge FundSub-Strategy and Event Driven Hedge FundSub-Strategy detracted from performance, while its Relative Value Hedge FundSub-Strategy had a rather neutral effect on its performance. |
Among the fourSub-Strategies, the Fund’s Equity Long/Short Hedge FundSub-Strategy detracted the most from 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 emerging market equities detracted the most. Conversely, exposure to health care stocks and the Fund’s global long/short quality strategy contributed positively to results. |
The Fund’s Macro Hedge FundSub-Strategy detracted from the Fund’s return on an absolute basis during the Reporting Period, with its trend-following strategy and long exposure to a broad commodity index hurting most. Conversely, the Fund’s foreign currency carry strategy contributed positively to results during the Reporting Period. |
Within the Fund’s Event Driven Hedge FundSub-Strategy, the Event Driven S&P 500 put writing strategy and exposure to U.S.small-cap equities detracted most from results. (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). Exposure to bank loans contributed positively to results. |
Within the Fund’s Relative Value Hedge FundSub-Strategy, long exposure to Master Limited Partnerships and its Relative Value S&P 500 put writing strategy detracted most from results. Conversely, its convertible arbitrage strategy as well as short exposure to U.S. equities contributed positively to results. |
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 andsmall-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 ofnon-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 writingsub-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. The use of these instruments is integral to the Fund’s investment strategy, which, overall, realized negative absolute returns 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 FundSub-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 |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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 with long exposure to a developed market growth index in the case of the long/short growth factor. These factors are implemented with 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 FundSub-Strategy, 26% to the Macro Hedge FundSub-Strategy, 20% to the Relative Value Hedge FundSub-Strategy and 7% to the Event Driven Hedge FundSub-Strategy, quite similar to theSub-Strategy allocations at the start of the Reporting Period. |
Q | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, it was announced that Stephan Kessler, vice president and portfolio manager for the Fund, left the firm. Stephan’s portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund were assumed by Matthew Schwab and Federico Gilly, managing directors on the QIS team, each with 25 years of industry experience. Gary Chropuvka and Oliver Bunn remained portfolio managers for the Fund, which they have managed since 2013 and 2017, respectively, working closely with Matthew and Federico. |
Q | What is the Fund’s 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. |

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, Class R and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |

Performance Summary
December 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on January 1, 2009 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (net of management, administrative and performance/incentive fees), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decision regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies (“QIS”) Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Alternative Premia Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of-6.18%,-6.93%,-5.74%,-5.99%,-6.40% and-5.75%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.08% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE® BofAML® USD LIBORThree-Month Constant Maturity Index (the “LIBOR Three-Month Index”). |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of-3.51%. This compares to the 1.64% cumulative total return of the LIBORThree-Month Index during the same time 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 5.90% during the Reporting Period. To compare, the overall annualized volatility of the S&P® 500 Index during the same time period was 16.96%. |
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. On the upside, allocations to fixed income premia contributed positively. |
Alternative risk premia in equities detracted the most from performance, particularly in the first quarter of 2018 and the early part of the second quarter of 2018 and then again in the fourth quarter of 2018 when market reversals and whipsawing trends resulted in equity momentum strategies detracting across regions. Commodities experienced similarly significant trend reversals in both the earlier and later parts of the calendar year. Value-oriented securities suffered throughout the Reporting Period, especially in the equities asset class. Consequently, value-typed premia detracted the most from performance, with equities in the U.S. and European Union leading the underperformance. 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. |
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 included equities, fixed income, credit, currencies and commodities. The Fund used derivative instruments to gain exposure to these asset classes. Instruments traded included credit swaps, total return swaps, equity-linked derivative instruments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts and written options. The use of these instruments is integral to the Fund’s current investment strategy, which realized negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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 intended 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. |
Q | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, it was announced that Stephan Kessler, vice president and portfolio manager for the Fund, left the firm. Stephan’s portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund were assumed by Evgeny Gladchenko, Executive Director. Federico Gilly and Matthew Schwab remained portfolio managers for the Fund. |

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.
A Commodity Fund that:
∎ | Provides exposure to the commodity markets without direct investment in physical commodities |
∎ | Utilizes commodity-linked swaps that provide economic exposure to movements in commodity prices |

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 the12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of-15.17%,-15.84%,-14.89%,-14.97%,-15.40% and-14.96%, respectively. These returns compare to the-13.82% average annual 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 December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of-18.31%. This compares to the-17.77% 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 negative 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-13.82% for the Reporting Period, the S&P 500® Index and the ICE U.S. Dollar Index (“DXY”) returned-4.38% and 4.40%, respectively.1 Overall, commodities in 2018 were hampered by the strong U.S. dollar, which rose frommid-April, a collapse in oil prices from early October and the ongoing U.S.-China trade war. |
During the Reporting Period, crude oil rallied through September 2018 but gave back gains in the fourth calendar quarter amidst demand concerns, U.S. actions surrounding Iran and continued strong U.S. production. The selloff in crude oil was paralleled by bearish sentiment in broader capital markets late in the year. Yet, crude oil, in particular, faced headwinds emanating from multiple influences. For example, Saudi Arabia and Russia ramped up production ahead of anticipated Iran sanctions and faced with increasing pressure from the U.S. Subsequently, the U.S. pivot from a hawkish stance on Iran to offering waivers to countries importing Iranian crude impacted supply expectations. These factors, combined with technicals, or supply/demand imbalances, compounded the selloff in crude oil. |
Agriculture posted mixed performance during the Reporting Period. Wheat led with adverse weather early in the Reporting Period in the U.S., Russia and the European Union negatively affecting their respective wheat crops. However, subsequent favorable weather for the U.S., coupled with global trade concerns, weighed on agriculture as the Reporting Period progressed. |
Industrial metals performance was negative during the Reporting Period amidst global tariff and trade tensions. Precious metal prices were more moderately negative for the Reporting Period overall. Gold prices struggled for momentum, as the labor market saw modest growth, strong optimism was maintained in the services sector, and the U.S. Dollar Index rose. |
Q | Which commodity subsectors were strongest during the Reporting Period? |
A | While all commodity subsectors posted negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period, the livestock component |
1 | The S&P 500® Index is the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index of 500 stocks, an unmanaged index of common stock prices. The DXY is a measure of the general international value of the U.S. dollar as calculated by averaging the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and six major world currencies. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
of the S&P GSCI® was strongest on a relative basis, posting a return of-1.5% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2018. Within the subsector, performance was mixed, with cattle generating positive returns, but lean hogs down for the calendar year. |
The precious metals subsector of the S&P GSCI® was second strongest on a relative basis with a return of-3.6% for the Reporting Period. Gold was down for the calendar year, but up in the fourth quarter of 2018, benefiting from elevated equity market volatility, trade tensions and economic growth concerns, which together drove arisk-off sentiment among investors. For the calendar year, gold prices remained rather range-bound as a result of atug-of-war between the effects of rising U.S. Treasury yields, which reduced the relative appeal of gold and silver, and heightened market volatility, which led to a flight to perceived safe havens. Silver moved lower than gold, posting a double-digit negative return for the Reporting Period. |
The agriculture component of the S&P GSCI® also outperformed the broad S&P GSCI®, returning-8.0% during the Reporting Period. Still, there was wide divergence of returns among individual commodities within the subsector. Wheat posted a positive return, as the tightening of global wheatstocks-to-use ratios added nervousness to global supply. (Thestocks-to-use ratio is a measure of supply and demand interrelationships of commodities. The ratio indicates the level of carryover stock for any given commodity as a percentage of the total use of the commodity.) Cocoa was the best performing commodity both within the subsector and within the broad S&P GSCI® during the Reporting Period, sparked by dry weather in top producer nation Cote d’Ivoire and then 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. All of the remaining commodities within the subsector posted negative returns during the Reporting Period. Soybeans, for example, remained in bearish territory, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) forecasted record high soybean production for 2018. Despite China’s order of soybeans during its90-day trade truce with the U.S., the order was smaller than expected and then was not repeated. |
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-18.0% for the Reporting Period overall. Industrial metals moved lower as the threat and then actuality of tariffs and trade wars raised concerns about demand out of China and the emerging markets for copper and other metals. Worries about slowing global economic growth dampening demand also weighed on this subsector. Of the industrial metals, all posted double-digit negative returns, with zinc the weakest. |
The energy component of the S&P GSCI® was also weak, down 17.1% for the Reporting Period, with crude oil leading the selloff of the fourth calendar quarter. Market concerns around global economic growth and the supply picture weighed on the subsector, especially as the U.S. became the largest producer of crude oil in the world as of November 2018. Indeed, U.S. production climbed to record highs of 11.7 million barrels per day, surpassing Russia as the world’s largest producer. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and its allies agreed to a production cut following its December 2018 meeting, with Saudi Arabia and Russia coordinating on the pace and extent of cuts. Gasoline prices fell even more dramatically, as the economy stalled and the trade war hit export sales, though they remained in record territory. Notably, natural gas gained ground, returning 4.8% during the Reporting Period. Natural gas performed well, as the amount of natural gas in U.S. storage was well below its five-year average and at the lowest level to start the winter of 2018-2019 in 15 years, in part due to the warm weather in the U.S. stretching longer into the fall, requiring extended air conditioning usage across the country, followed by a cold snap extending longer than expected. |
Q | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund generated negative absolute returns that 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 West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil position that detracted from relative performance as oil markets rallied during the first nine months of the Reporting Period and then sold off sharply in late 2018 on macroeconomic growth concerns and unanticipated additional supply. 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 also detracted, albeit modestly, during the Reporting Period. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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 modestly 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 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, investments in short-term money market instruments, such as commercial paper, contributed positively to performance, as commercial paper rallied. Short positions in U.S. Treasury futures, held for the purpose of duration management, were also accretive. Investments in U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities posted mixed performance during the Reporting Period amidst U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hikes and balance sheet normalization. Overall, fixed income securities used for the Fund’s collateral allocation detracted modestly from returns. |
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, 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 Fund used futures contracts for duration management purposes. The use of these instruments is integral to the Fund’s investment strategy, which, overall, realized negative 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 the 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. |
At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s net assets were allocated approximately 17.5% to commodity-linked securities, 49.5% to fixed income securities and 33% to cash. |
Q | What is the Fund’s view and strategy going forward? |
A | While we saw a relative increase in oil production during the Reporting Period on the supply side, this did not manifest in |
17
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
sharply rising inventories. We believe the magnitude of the selloff in crude oil was not justified in light of current inventory levels, the outlook for production cuts and an overly pessimistic demand side consensus. Notably, ahead of OPEC’s December 2018 meeting, Saudi Arabia announced it would consider reducing output and has suggested OPEC and its allies reduce production by one million barrels per day from January 2019 to arrest price declines. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained the Fund’s strategy regarding deferred exposure to WTI crude oil. Potential risks to our view would include but not be limited to the possibility of economic growth and demand for oil disappointing and/or OPEC cuts not materializing. |
Irrespective of directionality, we believe the market will continue to hold opportunities for the active, relative value investor. |

They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 4.5% 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, Class R and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |

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 the12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor and Class R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of-2.37%,-3.08%,-2.13%,-2.24% and-2.70%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.98% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE® BofAML® USD LIBOROne-Month Constant Maturity Index (the “LIBOROne-Month Index”), during the same time period. |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P shares generated a cumulative total return of-2.50%. This compares to the 1.51% cumulative total return of the LIBOROne-Month Index during the same time period. |
For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 shares generated a cumulative total return of-0.52%. This compares to the 1.44% cumulative total return of the LIBOROne-Month Index during the same time period. |
We note that the Fund’s benchmark being the LIBOROne-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 7.38% during the Reporting Period, while the overall annualized volatility of the S&P® 500 Index during the same time period was 16.93%. |
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 andnon-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 and August 2018, with the Fund gaining 4.18% and 2.58%, respectively, in those months. |
During the Reporting Period, exposures to fixed income slope steepening trades and commodities detracted the most from the Fund’s performance. (A slope steepening trade is a strategy that seeks to benefit from escalating yield differences that occur as a result of increases in the yield curve between two U.S. Treasury bonds of different maturities. This strategy can be effective in certain macroeconomic scenarios in which the price of the longer term U.S. Treasury is driven down but can detract when the differential in yields between different maturities flattens, or narrows.) Further, 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 |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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 June 2018, the Fund had switched to an overall net short exposure to emerging market equities. Additionally, following challenged performance in the emerging markets equity markets broadly, September 2018 saw sudden rallies in Turkish and South African equities due to stabilizing investor sentiment. Consequently, the Fund’s short exposure to these two equity markets detracted. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the biggest detractor at the asset class level was commodities. The Fund entered the fourth calendar quarter with long positions in energy due to oil’s sustained upward trend since the beginning of 2016. However, during the quarter, West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil prices declined nearly 40%. In turn, the Fund’s long positions in crude oil in the early part of the fourth quarter of 2018 detracted from performance. |
Conversely, exposure to short-term opportunistic trades and emerging market currencies contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. During the first half of the Reporting Period, the Fund held net long exposures in global short-term interest rates, but it maintained short exposure to U.S. short-term interest rates in particular. This position contributed positively to the Fund’s performance during the first half of 2018, as the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raised the targeted federal funds rate twice during these months — 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. October 2018 was also a period with heightened equity market volatility. Global equities declined sharply in October, with the MSCI World Index falling approximately 7.3% for the month. As a result, the Fund’s long exposure to developed market equities detracted, especially in the U.S. and Japan. Nonetheless, opportunistic trades within the Fund adapted to sudden declines in developed market equities, reducing its long exposure to developed market equities and, in turn, mitigating losses from these positions. During this period of heightened equity market volatility, the U.S. dollar appreciated relative to most global currencies. As the Fund had begun the fourth quarter of 2018 with short positions in most currencies, these positions contributed positively to its performance, especially the Colombian peso and Chilean peso. |
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, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency forwards to achieve exposure to equities (both in U.S. andnon-U.S. companies) and currencies (U.S. andnon-U.S. currencies), respectively. The Fund used interest rate swaps, credit swaps, total return 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, which, overall, realized negative absolute returns 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 going into January 2018. We subsequently reduced the level of long exposures in these two market segments following the global equitysell-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 (WTI crude oil and Brent crude oil), as oil prices experienced a strong rebound in the latter half of 2017. |
23
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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. |
Throughout the third quarter of 2018, the Fund maintained its short exposure to global currencies, emerging markets equities and commodities and maintained its long exposure to developed market equities. On the fixed income side, the Fund maintained its long exposure to short-term fixed income until September, when the position was switched to a short exposure, as the Fed raised interest rates in September. |
The Fund maintained its short exposure to global currencies and commodities during the fourth quarter of 2018 and reduced its long exposure to developed market equities. The Fund also shifted from its previously long exposure to short-term fixed income and previously short exposure to long-term fixed income, each in the opposite direction, as the yield curve continued to flatten during the fourth calendar quarter and even experienced a period of inversion in certain of its segments. On December 31, 2018, the Fund was slightly long developed market equities and short emerging markets equities. The Fund was long longer-term fixed income and short shorter-term fixed income. The Fund was short both global currencies and commodities at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | What is the Fund’s tactical asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | Going into 2019, 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 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 the best opportunities 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. |

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, identifiablesub-strategies, such as equity hedge or equity market neutral, or in some cases a number ofsub-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.*

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 vehicle 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.

Managed Futures Strategy | 252,383,477 | 48,699,642 | 19 |
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 swap contracts 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 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 |
132
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The 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 respective 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 distributable earnings 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional share class on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. 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
134
GOLDMAN SACHS SELECT SATELLITE FUNDS
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives 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.
Aforward 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.

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
December 31, 2018
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
ii. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. 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, basket of investments or indices, 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 December 31, 2018:

A. Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.
As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
As of December 31, 2018, the contractual management fees with GSAM were as stated below. The effective contractual management rates and effective net management rates represent the rates for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiaries pursuant to a Subsidiary Management Agreement (the “Subsidiary Agreement”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of each Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary’s management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, GSAM waived $65,373, $48,235, $301,281 and $231,265 of each Fund’s management fee for Absolute Return Tracker, Alternative Premia, Commodity Strategy and Managed Futures Strategy Funds, respectively. This waiver represents an inter-fund transaction and, accordingly, has been eliminated in consolidation.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
The Funds invest 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 Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Funds invest, except those management fees it earns from the Funds’ investments of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, GSAM waived $2,446,675, $159,772, $370,239 and $344,792 of the Absolute Return Tracker, Alternative Premia, Commodity Strategy and Managed Futures Strategy Funds’ management fees, respectively.

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

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.

D. Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Funds.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% (except for the Commodity Strategy Fund, which charges an annual rate of 0.13%) of the average daily net

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 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. 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. The Subsidiaries also pay certain other expenses, including service and custody fees. GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit each Subsidiary’s expenses (excluding management fees) to 0.004% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets for the Absolute Return Tracker, Alternative Premia, Commodity Strategy and Managed Futures Strategy Funds. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of December 31, 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

7. SECURITIES LENDING |
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 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 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 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 may enter into master netting agreements with borrowers, which provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. 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, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of December 31, 2018, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Absolute Return Tracker | Alternative Premia | Commodity Strategy | Managed Futures Strategy | |||||||||||||
Tax cost | $ | 2,663,135,836 | $ | 90,355,874 | $ | 247,180,210 | $ | 197,220,386 | ||||||||

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 swap transactions and underlying fund investments and passive foreign investment company investments.
The Alternative Premia Fund reclassified $4,971,759 from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending December 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from taxable overdistributions, net operating losses, and elimination entries related to cayman subsidiary.
The Commodity Strategy Fund reclassified $33,049,119 from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending December 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from elimination entries related to Cayman subsidiary.
The Managed Futures Strategy Fund reclassified $3,250,594 from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending December 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from net operating losses, and elimination entries related to cayman subsidiary.
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.

9. OTHER RISKS |
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.
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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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.

December 31, 2018
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk — A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests 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. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. 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. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Funds’ 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.
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.
10. INDEMNIFICATIONS |
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.
11. OTHER MATTERS |
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 ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of
Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund, Goldman Sachs Alternative Premia Fund, Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund and Goldman Sachs Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Tracker Fund, Goldman Sachs Alternative Premia Fund, Goldman Sachs Commodity Strategy Fund and Goldman Sachs Managed Futures Strategy Fund and each of their subsidiaries (four of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and each of the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended December 31, 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 July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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.

The portfolio risk management process includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but does not imply low risk.
The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds.

Market Review
During the 12 months ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), the performance of the U.S. and international equity markets was influenced most by U.S. and global economic data, central bank monetary policy and geopolitical issues.
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 in the 2018 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 between the U.K. and the European Union on a 21-month transition after Brexit reduced political uncertainty. (Brexit is the popular term for the U.K.’s approved vote on a referendum to exit the European Union.)
By the end of the Reporting Period, the Fed had hiked interest rates four times and communicated an upbeat view of its economic outlook, spurred by strong U.S. labor and inflation data. Against these strong fundamentals, escalating trade tensions, fears of a global economic slowdown and populist politics broadly weighed on investor sentiment throughout 2018. During the second and third calendar quarters, U.S. equities recorded generally solid gains, supported by a combination of robust economic growth, strong corporate profits and rising earnings estimates. In contrast, international stocks finished the second calendar quarter with modestly negative returns and posted only modest gains during the third calendar quarter, as political uncertainty remained elevated in Europe, particularly surrounding the Italian fiscal budget and ongoing Brexit negotiations. In the fourth quarter of 2018, U.S. and international equities alike fell sharply on continued trade war escalations between the U.S. and China, on heightened political uncertainty and in a delayed response to an earlier rise in global interest rates. U.S. and international equities saw a reprieve in November on more accommodative comments from Fed Chair Powell and on encouraging progress toward China-U.S. trade talks. However, the recovery was short-lived, as U.S. and international equities plunged in December 2018 on softer global economic data, which led to downward consensus expectations for corporate earnings growth, and on the Fed’s ongoing interest rate hikes. A partial U.S. federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell also weighed on U.S. stocks, while European equities fell on continued uncertainty surrounding a no-deal Brexit scenario.
For the Reporting Period overall, the U.S. equity market, as represented by the S&P 500® Index (with dividends reinvested), recorded a return of -4.38%. Seven of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500® Index posted negative returns and four generated positive returns. During the Reporting Period, health care, utilities, consumer discretionary and information technology were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index, as measured by total return, while

MARKET REVIEW
the weakest performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index were energy, materials, industrials and financials.
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 negative returns, large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, performed best, followed at some distance by mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index, and then small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks significantly outpaced value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the FTSE Russell indices.)
International equities produced a return of -13.79%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged), during the Reporting Period as a whole. On the basis of total return, financials, materials, information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials were the weakest performing sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index. Utilities was the only sector in the MSCI EAFE Index to post a positive return during the Reporting Period.
From a country perspective, all equity markets in the MSCI EAFE Index recorded negative absolute returns during the Reporting Period. Austria, Belgium, Ireland and Germany were the weakest individual country constituents in the MSCI EAFE Index. Although Finland, New Zealand, Israel, Norway, Hong Kong and Switzerland also posted negative absolute returns, they were the best performing 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.

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 oflarge-cap, dividend-paying stocks.1 By investing in these securities, and through the use of option call writing, the Funds seek to generate an attractiveafter-tax cash flow.
A diversified portfolio:
∎ | Create a diversifiedlarge-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 attractiveafter-tax cash flow from qualified dividends, long-term capital gains and option call writing. |
∎ | The Funds seek to enhanceafter-tax returns by generating distributions primarily from qualified dividends and long-term capital gains. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective after the close of business on June 29, 2018, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s (the “Fund”) non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in particular investments changed. After that date, the Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in 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.
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional and Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -6.63%, -7.38%,-6.28% and -6.47%, respectively. These returns compare to the -4.38% average annual 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 0.01%. |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -6.73% compared to the -6.06% cumulative total return of the S&P 500® Index. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.25% during the same period. |
For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of -4.78% compared to the -4.02% cumulative total return of the S&P 500® Index. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.25% 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 the Fund’s 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 discretionary and consumer staples sectors. It benefited from its investments in the health care, energy and real estate 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. However, during the Reporting Period, the S&P® 500 Index declined, and thus our call writing overall added slightly to relative performance. |
4
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Call option writing has the potential to reduce Fund volatility. Since its inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been 17.39% compared to the realized volatility of the S&P 500® Index of 18.91%. During the Reporting Period, the realized daily volatility of the Fund was 15.39% compared to the realized volatility of the S&P 500® Index of 16.93%.1 |
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 3.08% compared to 2.24% 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 December 31, 2018, the Standardized 30-Day Subsidized Yield was 2.37% and the Standardized 30-Day Unsubsidized Yield was 2.33%.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 automaker Ford Motor Company. 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 overweight positions versus the S&P 500® Index in Pfizer and Abbott Laboratories, both pharmaceutical companies. An underweight in industrial conglomerate General Electric also added to performance. The Fund was overweight Pfizer and Abbott Laboratories largely because of their attractive dividend yields and/or risk metrics. The underweight in General Electric was primarily 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 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. |
1 | The realized daily volatility of the Fund quoted herein is for Institutional Shares, net of fees. Based on GSAM calculations. |

Performance Summary
December 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on January 1, 2009 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s primary and secondary benchmarks, the S&P 500® Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, respectively, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decision regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Effective after the close of business on June 29, 2018, the Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund’s (the “Fund”) non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in particular investment changed. After that date, the Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in 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.
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional and Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -13.34%, -14.01%,-12.96% and -13.10%, respectively. These returns compare to the -13.79% average annual total return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (“MSCI EAFE Index”). The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (USD, Unhedged), the secondary benchmark, returned -1.20%. |
For the period since their inception on April 17, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -14.35% compared to the -14.52% cumulative total return of the MSCI EAFE Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index returned -2.58% during the same period. |
For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of -13.25% compared to the -14.40% cumulative total return of the MSCI EAFE Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index returned -0.94% 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 | The Fund benefited from security selection during the Reporting Period, as the Fund’s bias toward stocks with higher dividend yields added to performance. Overall, the Fund was helped by holdings in the financials, materials and health care sectors. It was held back by its investments in the communication services, industrials and information technology sectors. (After the close of business on September 28, 2018, the telecommunications services sector was renamed the communication services sector and was broadened to include certain companies from the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various media.) |
The sale of call options on the MSCI EAFE 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. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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. However, during the Reporting Period, the MSCI EAFE Index declined, and our call writing overall added to performance. |
Call option writing has the potential to reduce Fund volatility, but since its inception, the realized daily volatility of the Fund has been 20.30% compared to the realized volatility of the MSCI EAFE Index of 18.78%. During the Reporting Period, the realized daily volatility of the Fund was 12.17% compared to the realized volatility of the MSCI EAFE Index of 11.74%.1 |
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 4.95% compared to 3.78% 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 December 31, 2018, the Standardized 30-Day Subsidized Yield was 3.68% and the Standardized 30-Day Unsubsidized Yield was 3.51%.2 |
Q | Which individual stock holdings contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period? |
A | Compared to the MSCI EAFE Index, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in Norwegian seafood company Mowi (formerly Marine Harvest); Hong Kong-based Link Real Estate Investment Trust; and U.K. pharmaceutical manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline. We chose to overweight all three stocks largely because of their attractive dividend yields and/or risk metrics. |
Q | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by overweight positions relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in British telecommunications conglomerate Vodafone, German automobile maker Daimler and French-Italian semiconductor manufacturer STMicroelectronics. It was overweight all three stocks primarily because of their 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 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. |
1 | The realized daily volatility of the Fund quoted herein is for Institutional Shares, net of fees. Based on GSAM calculations. |
2 | The Standardized 30-Day Subsidized Yield and Standardized30-Day Unsubsidized Yield of the Fund quoted herein is for Institutional Shares, net of fees. Based on GSAM calculations. |

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. |

Performance Summary
December 31, 2018
The following graph shows the value as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on January 1, 2009 in Institutional Shares. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s primary and secondary benchmarks, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), respectively, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decision regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

What Differentiates the Goldman Sachs GlobalTax-Management Investment Process?
In managing money for many of the world’s wealthiest taxable investors, Goldman Sachs often constructs a diversified investment portfolio around atax-managed core. With the Goldman Sachs U.S.Tax-Managed Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs InternationalTax-Managed Equity Fund, investors can access Goldman Sachs’tax-smart investment expertise while capitalizing on this same strategic approach to portfolio construction.
Goldman Sachs GlobalTax-Management Investment Process
The Goldman Sachs GlobalTax-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 InternationalTax-Managed Equity Fund, the investment process is enhanced with an additional layer that seeks to maximizeafter-tax returns.
∎ | Comprehensive |
∎ | Extensive |
∎ | Rigorous |
∎ | Fundamental |
∎ | Objective |
∎ | Insightful |
Advantage: Daily analysis of approximately 3,000 U.S. and international equity securities using a proprietary model.
∎ | Benchmark driven |
∎ | Sector and size neutral |
∎ | Tax optimized |
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 maximizeafter-tax returns —the true objective of every taxable investor.
Advantage: Value added through stock selection — not market timing, industry rotation or style bias.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective after the close of business on June 29, 2018, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in particular investments changed. After that date, the Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in equity investments in U.S. issuers.
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service and Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -8.15%,-8.85%, -7.78%, -8.26% and -7.95%, respectively. This compares to the -5.24% average annual 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 December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -10.62% compared to the -7.01% cumulative total return of the Index. |
For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of -8.72% compared to the -4.99% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, four of our quantitative model’s six investment themes added to relative returns. However, the Fund underperformed the Index largely because of certain individual stock positions. |
Q | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund uses a variety of quantitative techniques, in combination with a qualitative overlay, when selecting investments that have the potential to maximize the Fund’s after-tax return and minimize capital gains and income distributions. These quantitative techniques are derived from fundamental research and are based on certain investment themes. 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 contributed positively to relative performance. Quality was our best performing theme. The Quality theme assesses both firm and financial quality. Momentum, Management and Sentiment added further to relative results. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. The Management theme assesses |
17
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial intermediaries. |
The Valuation and Profitability themes detracted from relative returns during the Reporting Period. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. |
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. 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. |
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, certain individual stock positions, led by holdings in the consumer discretionary, information technology and consumer staples sectors, detracted from relative performance. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from its investments in the industrials, utilities and health care sectors. |
Q | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by overweight positions compared to the Index in semiconductor manufacturer Applied Materials, food maker Tyson Foods and recreational vehicle manufacturer Thor Industries. We chose to overweight Applied Materials because of our positive views on Sentiment and Management. The overweights in Tyson Foods and Thor Industries were due to our positive views on Sentiment and Valuation. |
Q | Which individual stock holdings contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period? |
A | Relative to the Index, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific and software company Adobe Systems. We adopted the overweights in Boston Scientific and Adobe Systems based on our positive views on Sentiment. An underweight in industrial conglomerate General Electric, assumed due to our negative views on Management, also bolstered performance. |
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. In the second quarter of 2018, we introduced two new signals within our Sentiment theme 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 patent documents to form such economic linkages. |
In the fourth quarter of 2018, we added a signal within our Quality theme that uses novel data to help us understand consumer retail trends. We believe this signal will complement our existing suite of alternative data metrics to |
18
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
help us better understand retailers’ earnings growth. We also added a number of signals that utilize natural language processing and regulatory filings to help us better understand the regulatory and business risks faced by companies. In addition, within our Sentiment theme, we enhanced existing signals that use machine learning to help understand sell-side analyst sentiment. With a larger corpus of sell-side research reports to analyze, we introduced a new machine learning algorithm to help classify sentiment. |
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | As mentioned previously, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. 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 and financials sectors. It was underweight compared to the Index in the consumer staples, communications services and information technology sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral versus the Index in the industrials, consumer discretionary, energy, real estate, utilities and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. (After the close of business on September 28, 2018, the telecommunications services sector was renamed the communication services sector and was broadened to include certain companies from the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various media.) |

The following graph shows the value as of December 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on January 1, 2009 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decision regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
International Tax-Managed Equity Fund
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks to provide long-term after-tax growth of capital through tax-sensitive participation in a broadly diversified portfolio of international equity securities.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Effective after the close of business on June 29, 2018, the Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) non-fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in particular investments changed. After that date, the Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in equity investments in non-U.S. issuers.
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional and Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -16.86%, -17.39%,-16.49% and -16.66%, respectively. This compares to the-13.79% average annual 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 December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class P Shares generated a cumulative total return of -18.09% compared to the -14.52% cumulative total return of the Index. |
For the period since their inception on April 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return of -17.07% compared to the -14.40% cumulative total return of the Index. |
Q | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, four of our quantitative model’s six investment themes added to relative returns. However, the Fund underperformed the Index because of certain individual stock positions. |
Q | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund uses a variety of quantitative techniques, in combination with a qualitative overlay, when selecting investments that have the potential to maximize the Fund’s after-tax return and minimize capital gains and income distributions. These quantitative techniques are derived from fundamental research and are based on certain investment themes. 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 — Momentum, Quality, Sentiment and Valuation — bolstered the Fund’s relative performance. The Momentum theme seeks to predict drifts in stock prices caused by delayed investor reaction to company-specific information and information about related companies. The Quality theme assesses both firm and financial quality. The Sentiment theme reflects selected investment views and decisions of individuals and financial |
24
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
intermediaries. The Valuation theme attempts to capture potential mispricings of securities, typically by comparing a measure of the company’s intrinsic value to its market value. |
Our Profitability and Management themes detracted from relative returns during the Reporting Period. The Profitability theme assesses whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. The Management theme assesses the characteristics, policies and strategic decisions of company management. |
Q | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative performance? |
A | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. 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. |
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, certain individual stock positions detracted from relative returns, including investments in the consumer discretionary, industrials and materials sectors. The Fund was helped by its holdings in the financials and energy sectors. |
Q | Which individual stock holdings detracted significantly from relative performance? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by its overweight positions versus the Index in Covestro, a Germany-based adhesive manufacturing company and Air France-KLM, a French-Dutch airline. Our positive views on Management and Valuation led to the overweight in Covestro, while our positive views on Valuation and Momentum resulted in the overweight in Air France-KLM. An underweight position in Fresenius Medical Care, a German medical supplies maker, also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The underweight in Fresenius Medical Care was driven by our negative views on Momentum. |
Q | Which individual stock holdings contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period? |
A | Compared to the Index, the Fund benefited most from its overweights in Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma and Wirecard. We assumed the overweight in Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, due to our positive views on Valuation and Sentiment. The Fund’s overweight in German electronic payment processor Wirecard was the result of our positive views on Management. An underweight in tobacco company British American Tobacco, which was based on our negative views on Momentum and Quality, also added to the Fund’s performance. |
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 uses natural language processing techniques to read through various sections in patent documents to form such economic linkages in the markets of Europe and Japan. The second signal, introduced in the Japan region, uses natural language processing techniques to analyze various sections within companies’ annual financial statements. Also in the Japan region, we added a signal that uses consumer and retailer activity data to predict the sales of retailers and consumer goods companies. Within our Sentiment theme, we enhanced existing signals that use machine learning to help understand sell-side analyst sentiment. With a larger corpus of sell-side research reports to analyze, we introduced a new machine learning algorithm |
25
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
to help classify sentiment. We also extended an existing market sentiment signal from the U.S. to the U.K. region. The signal examines institutional investor activity to extract conviction positions. Finally, we extended to the Japan region a suite of signals within our Quality and Sentiment themes that use natural language processing techniques on Japanese regulatory filings. |
Q | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | As mentioned previously, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making industry or sector bets. 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 the industrials, communication services, utilities and health care sectors relative to the Index. It was underweight the financials, real estate, materials and information technology sectors. The Fund was relatively neutrally weighted in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary and energy sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. (After the close of business on September 28, 2018, the telecommunications services sector was renamed the communication services sector and was broadened to include certain companies from the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various media.) |
At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight compared to the Index in the Netherlands and Sweden. Relative to the Index, it was underweight Switzerland, the U.K. and France. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted relative to the Index in Germany, Japan, Norway, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Hong Kong, Austria, Portugal, New Zealand, Finland, Ireland, Israel, Belgium, Singapore and Australia at the end of the Reporting Period. |

1. ORGANIZATION |
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:
Fund | Share Classes Offered | Diversified/ Non-diversified | ||
U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium, International Equity Dividend and Premium, International Tax-Managed Equity | A, C, Institutional, Investor, P(a) and R6(b) | Diversified | ||
U. S. Tax-Managed Equity | A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, P(a) and R6(b) | Diversified |
(a) | Commenced operations on April 17, 2018. |
(b) | Commenced operations on April 30, 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 and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.
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.
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 and to distribute each
83
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
December 31, 2018
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 distributable earnings 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;
84
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
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 the 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 generally valued at the last sale or settlement price on the exchange where they are principally traded. Exchange-traded options without settlement prices are generally valued at the midpoint of the bid and ask prices on the exchange where they are principally traded (or, in the absence of two-way trading, at the last bid price for long positions and the last ask price for short positions). Exchange-traded derivatives 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
85

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
December 31, 2018
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.
i. Futures Contracts— Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by 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.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy— The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives classified in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2018:

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.

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.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

7. SECURITIES LENDING |
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
92
GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% (prior to February 21, 2018, GSAM may have received a management fee of up to 0.205%) on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.
In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds may enter into master netting agreements with borrowers, which provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for the nondefaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. However, in the event of a default by a borrower, a resolution authority could determine that such rights are not enforceable due to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of set-off that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws. 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, which represent the gross amounts of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions outstanding as of December 31, 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of December 31, 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 | |||||||||||||
Tax cost | $ | 2,736,160,904 | $ | 357,434,833 | $ | 1,117,736,848 | $ | 671,049,741 | ||||||||
Gross unrealized gain | 377,096,042 | 21,374,512 | 358,445,457 | 20,376,518 | ||||||||||||
Gross unrealized loss | (272,140,104 | ) | (60,828,816 | ) | (41,552,437 | ) | (52,732,973 | ) | ||||||||
Net unrealized gain (loss) | $ | 104,955,938 | $ | (39,454,304 | ) | $ | 316,893,020 | $ | (32,356,455 | ) |
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, real estate investment trust investments and passive foreign investment company investments.
The International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund reclassified $5,767 from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending December 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and result primarily from certain non-deductible expenses.
The U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund reclassified $(77,483,163) from distributable earnings to paid in capital for the year ending December 31, 2018. In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and result primarily from redemptions in-kind.
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.
9. OTHER RISKS |
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

December 31, 2018
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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.
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, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, 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 or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Liquidity Risk— A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests 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. If a Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and dilute remaining investors’ interests. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the 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.
10. INDEMNIFICATIONS |
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.
11. OTHER MATTERS |
In September 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-13 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in the ASU modify fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments are effective for the Fund’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, Goldman Sachs International Equity Dividend and Premium Fund, Goldman Sachs U.S. Tax-Managed Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs International Tax-Managed Equity Fund (four of the funds constituting Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

GOLDMAN SACHS TAX-ADVANTAGED EQUITY FUNDS
Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended December 31, 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) contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), (if any); 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 July 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, which represents a period of 184 days of a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses— The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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.
