GOLDMAN SACHS ABSOLUTE RETURN MULTI-ASSET FUND
What Differentiates Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund’s Investment Process?
The Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to deliver consistent returns in all market environments through broad diversification and dynamic management. The Fund aims to provide exposure beyond traditional asset classes, with less dependence on the direction of stock and bond markets, and thoughtfully combines the investment capabilities across Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM).
∎ | | By investing across asset classes using less-traditional strategies and techniques, we aim to incorporate distinct sources of return into the portfolio that are different from traditional core equities and bond returns |
∎ | | We use a proprietary, factor-based risk-budgeting framework that seeks to balance risk across unique return drivers and active strategies |
∎ | | The Fund seeks to capitalize on the changing economic cycle and tactically adjusts for dislocations in the current environment, with the aim of enhancing returns and mitigating portfolio losses |
∎ | | We seek to profit from opportunities across medium- to shorter-term time horizons and multiple geographies |
∎ | | For over two decades, we have managed multi-asset class solutions for clients including sovereign wealth funds, pension plans, endowments, and foundations |
∎ | | We leverage the insights and alpha generation of GSAM’s 700+ investment professionals in 30 offices around the globe (as of September 30, 2018) |
∎ | | We monitor portfolio risk daily and have a robust risk management framework with multiple layers of oversight at the strategic allocation, security selection and firm levels |
Diversification does not protect an investor from market risk and does not ensure a profit. The portfolio risk management process includes an effort to monitor and manage risk, but does not imply low risk.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Absolute Return Multi-Asset Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.01%, 3.61%, 4.22%, 4.10%, 4.27%, 3.90%, and 4.25%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.34% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
| References to the Fund’s benchmark and to other indices, if any, mentioned herein are for informational purposes only, and unless otherwise noted, are not indications of how the Fund is managed. The use of the Index as the Fund’s benchmark does not imply the Fund is being managed like cash and does not imply low risk or low volatility. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period overall, the factors most influencing the financial markets and the Fund were global economic data, central bank monetary policy, crude oil prices and geopolitical events. |
| In November 2018, when the Reporting Period began, global economic growth appeared to be stabilizing following previous weakness, with risk assets supported by less hawkish commentary from the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”), decreased concerns around U.S.-China trade relations and improved Chinese economic data. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Global equities recorded gains, led by emerging markets stocks. Within fixed income, the10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell. |
| In December 2018, global economic growth moderated, as evidenced by declining manufacturing indicators across the U.S., Europe and China. The Fed hiked short-term interest rates by 25 basis points at its December meeting, in line with market expectations. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The less accommodative Fed and the slowing global economic growth backdrop weighed on risk assets during the month. Global equities declined, fueled by sell-offs in U.S. and Japanese stocks. Emerging markets equities posted negative returns, but outpaced developed markets stocks. In fixed income, the10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell on a combination of market-perceived safe-haven demand and lower crude oil prices. Crude oil prices fell during December 2018 in spite of proposed production cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia, as weak investor risk appetite and market concerns around oversupply remained in focus. |
| Risk assets broadly rebounded during the first quarter of 2019, as investor sentiment turned positive on a combination of dovish global central bank policy, tentative stabilization in Chinese economic growth and seemingly promising developments in U.S.-China trade talks. As inflationary pressures remained rather muted, the Fed and the European Central Bank (“ECB”) each made a dovish shift and then maintained monetary policy stances that were broadly supportive of economic growth. More specifically, the Fed signaled it would make no additional short-term interest rate hikes during 2019, and the ECB indicated it was reluctant to hike interest rates during the calendar year. Although global economic growth continued to decelerate, there were signs of improvement, including indications of a bottoming in Chinese credit growth, a modestpick-up in fixed asset investment and an uptick in March 2019 manufacturing data. Global equities posted a double-digit gain during the first calendar quarter, led by a rally in U.S. stocks. Emerging markets equities overall underperformed developed markets equities, but Chinese stocks rose significantly. In fixed income, the10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell during the first quarter of 2019. |

FUND RESULTS
| In April 2019, risk assets continued to rally, supported by signs of stabilization in global economic growth and continued dovishness from major central banks amidst muted inflationary pressures. In the U.S., stocks reached new highs on the back of stronger than consensus expected corporate earnings. European stocks also posted solid gains. Although Japanese equities recorded positive returns, they lagged their developed markets counterparts due to weaker than market expected corporate earnings. In China, money supply and credit data were stronger than market anticipated, adding to investor expectations that Chinese economic growth might continue to recover. However, a less dovish stance by China’s central bank dampened market optimism. In fixed income, the U.S.10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose. Crude oil prices rallied, driven mostly by the U.S. Administration’s decision to end waivers on Iranian oil exports. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through investments in different asset classes, geographic regions and security selection strategies in a portfolio primarily of equity, fixed income, real assets and currency asset classes. Real assets are physical assets that derive their value from their own intrinsic qualities (e.g., precious metals, commodities and real estate). The Fund also invests in multi-strategy liquid alternatives as it seeks to achieve its investment objective. Multi-strategy liquid alternatives invest across asset classes through both systematic and rules-based investment strategies. The Fund’s performance is driven by four sources of return: long-term strategic asset allocation to market exposures, medium-term cycle-aware allocation, short-term tactical allocation and excess returns from investments in Underlying Funds through which the Fund gains exposure to underlying asset classes. Strategic asset allocation is the process by which the Fund’s assets are allocated across underlying asset classes and strategies in a way that considers the risks of each underlying asset class and strategy. Medium-term cycle-aware allocation is the process by which we adjust the portfolio for changes in the business or economic cycle. Short-term tactical allocation is the implementation of tactical market views with the goal of improving the Fund’s risk-adjusted return. The risk-adjusted return on an investment takes into account the risk associated with that investment relative to other potential investments. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund generated positive returns, driven primarily by strategic asset allocation and, to a lesser extent, by short-term tactical asset allocation. These results were offset somewhat by medium-term cycle-aware allocation and security selection within the Underlying Funds, which detracted from the Fund’s performance. |
| Strategic asset allocation overall added to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. At the asset class level, allocations to equities, fixed income, real assets and currencies contributed positively. Strategic allocations to multi-strategy liquid alternatives detracted from returns. Within its strategic allocations to equities, the Fund’s positive performance was largely due to its exposure to emerging markets stocks. Investor sentiment was buoyed by a combination of constructive U.S.-China trade talks, the Fed’s considerably more dovish stance and market expectations for better Chinese economic data due to policy stimulus. In addition, the Fund benefited from its exposure to U.S. and international equities, as risk assets rallied during the first quarter of 2019. Within its strategic fixed income allocations, the Fund’s exposure to high yield corporate bonds added to performance, as credit spreads narrowed and interest rates broadly declined during the Reporting Period. (Credit spreads are yield differentials between corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of comparable maturity.) The Fund was also aided by our long U.S. interest rate options strategy, through which we seek to profit if interest rates fall, remain constant or rise less than anticipated. This strategy bolstered the Fund’s performance, given that U.S. Treasury yields fell over the course of the Reporting Period. (Our long U.S. interest rate options strategy is a macroeconomic hedge that buys put options on short-term interest rates. A put option is an option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying asset at a specified price within a specified time.) Additionally, the Fund’s strategic allocations to U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets debt and local currency emerging markets debt contributed positively. Within its strategic allocations to real assets, the Fund was helped by its exposure to U.S. and international real estate securities as well as by its exposure to global infrastructure securities. Within its strategic allocations to currencies, the Fund benefited from our decision to hedge foreign currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar (accomplished through foreign exchange currency forward contracts), as the U.S. dollar strengthened versus other major currencies during the Reporting Period. With its strategic allocations to multi-strategy liquid alternatives, the Fund was hurt, especially during the first quarter of 2019, by our U.S. equity volatility strategy, which seeks to benefit from the difference between |

FUND RESULTS
| implied volatility (i.e., expectations of future volatility) and realized volatility (i.e., historical volatility) in equity markets. On the other hand, the Fund’s strategic allocation to the Goldman Sachs Alternative Premia Fund, which provides exposure to a diversified range of alternative investment strategies, and its strategic allocation to the Goldman Sachs Managed Futures Strategy Fund added to returns during the Reporting Period. |
| Medium-term cycle-aware allocation detracted overall from the Fund’s performance. We held three medium-term cycle-aware views during the Reporting Period. The first view was to be short interest rate duration, which we expressed through the Fund’s short position in long-maturity German government bonds and the Fund’s short positions in specific segments of the U.S. Treasury yield curve. (Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve is a spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths.) The Fund’s short position in long-maturity German government bonds hampered returns, as Germany’s long-term interest rates fell in response to slower European economic growth, dovish ECB monetary policy and benign inflation. The Fund’s short positioning in specific segments of the U.S. Treasury yield curve detracted from performance on the back of the broad decline in U.S. Treasury yields during the Reporting Period. The second medium-term cycle-aware view was to hold a long position in emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities. This positioning contributed positively to the Fund’s results, as emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets equities during the Reporting Period. The third medium-term cycle-aware view — to hold a long position in local currency emerging markets bonds versus U.S. high yield corporate bonds — also enhanced the Fund’s returns, as local currency emerging markets debt outperformed U.S. high yield corporate bonds during the Reporting Period. |
| Tactical asset allocation added to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, as the Goldman Sachs Tactical Exposure Fund (the “Underlying Tactical Fund”), which we use to express our tactical views, generated a positive return. |
| Security selection overall detracted from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period. The Fund was hurt most by security selection within the Goldman Sachs Managed Futures Strategy Fund, followed by the marginally negative performance of our U.S. real estate strategy (implemented through the Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund). These results were partially offset by the positive contributions of our emerging markets equity strategy (implemented primarily through the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund), emerging markets debt strategy (implemented primarily through the Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund and the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund), international real estate strategy (implemented through the Goldman Sachs International Real Estate Securities Fund) and security selection within the Goldman Sachs Global Infrastructure Fund. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned at the beginning of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund had approximately 34% of its total net assets in long equity-related investments; approximately 34% of its total net assets in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 9% of its total net assets in long real assets investments; approximately 11% of its total net assets in long currency-related investments; and approximately 51% of its total net assets in long multi-strategy liquid alternatives. It had short positions of approximately-5% of its total net assets in equity-related investments; approximately-17% of its total net assets in fixed income-related assets; none of its total net assets in real asset investments; approximately-10% of its total net assets in currency-related investments; and none of its total net assets in multi-strategy liquid alternatives. The positioning breakout above is inclusive of derivatives exposure across all asset classes, which generally includes the use of equity index futures, equity options, interest rate futures, commodity futures and currency forwards. |
Q | | How did you manage the Fund’s allocations during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We took advantage of the rally in risk assets during the first quarter of 2019 to reduce the Fund’s overall exposure to risk. More specifically, we decreased the Fund’s strategic allocations to emerging markets equities, real estate securities and managed futures over the course of the first calendar quarter and increased its allocations to more traditional investments, such as U.S. large cap equities andnon-U.S. developed markets equities. As part of this effort, we also reduced the size of the Fund’s short-term tactical allocation by trimming its investment in the Underlying Tactical Fund. During January 2019, we eliminated the Fund’s short positions in futures on the S&P 500® Index and the MSCI EAFE Index, which sought to moderate exposure to equity beta, and adopted long positions in U.S. and international stocks (implemented through futures on the |

FUND RESULTS
| S&P 500® Index and the MSCI EAFE Index). (Beta refers to the component of returns that is attributable to market risk exposure, rather than manager skill.) |
| We also sought to adjust the Fund’s exposure for what we viewed as medium-term changes to the business or economic cycle. In January 2019, we removed our medium-term cycle-aware view that the Fund be overweight emerging markets equities versus developed markets equities. We had expected to see the start of a rebound in China’s economic data by the end of 2018 in response to policy initiatives that sought to stimulate growth, but fresh data releases showed continued deterioration. Although we continued to believe Chinese economic data would recover, we thought the likely timing had been pushed into the future and market uncertainty around it had increased. Finally, during March 2019, we reduced the Fund’s short position in long-maturity German government bonds, as Germany’s long-term interest rates fell. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund used exchange-traded index futures contracts to gain long exposure to U.S.large-cap equities,non-U.S. developed equities and emerging markets equities (each had a positive impact on performance). |
| Interest rate futures were used to manage the Fund’s interest rate exposures and to facilitate the implementation of specific duration and yield curve views (negative impact on performance). The Fund employed U.S. Treasury futures to gain access to10-year U.S. Treasury notes (positive impact). German bund futures were utilized to express a view on the direction of long-term German interest rates (negative impact). The Fund used options on Eurodollar futures to take tactical positions on the U.S. interest rate yield curve (positive impact). (Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S.) Different positions may be taken within the Fund based on expectations of changes in interest rates and expectations of changes in the yield curve. Changes in the shape of the yield curve will change the relative price of bonds represented by the curve. Also during the Reporting Period, the Fund used a specialized index of credit default swaps to gain exposure to U.S. high yield corporate bonds (positive impact). Interest rate options were employed as part of the Fund’s macroeconomic hedge (positive impact). |
| To hedge its exposure tonon-U.S. developed markets currencies and emerging markets currencies, the Fund used forward foreign currency exchange contracts (positive impact on performance). |
| Lastly, the Fund obtained exposure to the underlying asset classes through the use of the Underlying Funds, which may also invest in derivatives to provide exposure to equity, fixed income and commodity asset classes. Derivatives and similar instruments allow us to manage interest rate, credit and currency risks more effectively by allowing us both to apply active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision than we would otherwise be able to implement. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had approximately 31% of its total net assets in long equity-related investments; approximately 52% of its total net assets in long fixed income-related investments; approximately 5% of its total net assets in long real assets investments; approximately 6% of its total net assets in long currency-related investments; and approximately 39% of its total net assets in long multi-strategy liquid alternatives. It had short positions of approximately-2% of its total net assets in equity-related investments; approximately-2% of its total net assets in fixed income-related assets; none of its total net assets in real asset investments; approximately-6% of its total net assets in currency-related investments; and none of its total net assets in multi-strategy liquid alternatives. The positioning breakout above is inclusive of derivatives exposure across all asset classes, which generally includes the use of equity index futures, equity options, interest rate futures, commodity futures and currency forwards. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical asset allocation view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, we emphasized three macro themes. First, we expected to see an elongated U.S. economic expansion in 2019, with growth continuing and a downturn unlikely, in our view. Second, we expected to see signs of a synchronized rebound in economic growth across the U.S., Europe and China following the slowdown in activity near the beginning of 2019. Third, we believed risk assets were less likely to experience sell-offs in the very near term, though we anticipated episodic drawdowns later in 2019, which should create attractive investment |

FUND RESULTS
| opportunities, in our opinion, if global economic growth flattens and bond yields become less well-anchored. |
| At the asset class level, we had a positive outlook on equities over the medium term at the end of the Reporting Period. In our view, the macro environment is likely to support equities going into the summer months. We expect the equity market rally to continue thereafter, though we believe returns may be capped to some degree by more modest corporate earnings growth and there-rating seen in the first four months of 2019.(Re-rating occurs when market participants change their view of a company, and valuation measures, such as the price-earnings ratio, are revised substantially higher or lower.) As for fixed income, we remained bearish on government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. In the near term, long-term interest rates are likely to remain range bound, in our view, given the Fed’s dovish shift during the Reporting Period and limited inflationary pressures. However, in the medium term, we expect the elongated U.S. economic cycle to lead to higher bond yields should the Fed hike short-term interest rates. As for credit spreads, while they compressed significantly during the first four months of 2019, we see scope for additional tightening into the summer and believe they are more likely than not to tighten further by the end of 2019. That said, we think late economic cycle dynamics, especially near calendaryear-end, could potentially push credit spreads wider. |

| (a) | | Payments made quarterly. |
| (b) | | Credit spread on the referenced obligation, together with the term of the swap contract, are indicators of payment/performance risk. The likelihood of a credit event occurring which would require a fund or its counterparty to make a payment or otherwise be required to perform under the swap contract is generally greater as the credit spread and the term of the swap contract increase. |

|
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 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. 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting 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 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. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”). Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.
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 the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as eithershort-term orlong-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 Statement of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
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:
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. Because the Fund invests primarily in other mutual funds that fluctuate in value, the Fund’s shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities

prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on Statement of Assets or Liabilities as receivable/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are 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 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 the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts 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.
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, the Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.
iii. Options — When the Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequentlymarked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate and or credit default swap contracts.
Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by the Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequentlymarked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.
iv. Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which the Fund and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between the Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”)(“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps aremarked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty or clearinghouse prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, the Fund is required to satisfy an
27
GOLDMAN SACHS ABSOLUTE RETURN MULTI-ASSET FUND
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 anymark-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.
Acredit default swap is an agreement that involves one party (the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. The Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If the Fund buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, the Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted reference obligation in a physically settled trade. The Fund may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade.
As a seller of protection, the Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Fund sells protection through a credit default swap, the Fund could suffer a loss because the value of the referenced obligation and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, the Fund, as a seller of credit protection, may be required to take possession of the defaulted reference obligation and pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap in a physically settled trade. The Fund may also pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in a cash settled trade. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted security or obligation. In addition, the Fund is entitled to a return of any assets, which have been pledged as collateral to the counterparty upon settlement.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where the Fund bought credit protection.
Atotal return swap is an agreement that gives the 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, the Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments— To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

They also do not reflect the fair value of any assets pledged as collateral which, through the daily margining process, substantially offsets the aforementioned amounts and for which the Fund is entitled to a full return. |
The following tables set forth, by certain risk types, the Fund’s gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the six months ended April 30, 2019. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to create investment opportunities and/or economically hedge certain investments, and accordingly, certain gains (losses) on such derivative contracts may offset certain (losses) gains attributable to investments. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Statement of Operations:

B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Fund, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of the Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs as Distributor is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Fund, as set forth below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates | |
| | Class A* | | | Class C | | | Class R* | |
Distribution and/or Service Plan | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.50 | % |
* | | With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. For the six months ended April 30, 2019 , Goldman Sachs retained $0 of the front end sales charges and $0 of the CDSC for this Fund.
D. Service Plan — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan to allow Class C Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Fund.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Fund for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares; and 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Fund are 0.104%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2020 for Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares, and prior to such dates GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Fund’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the six months ended April 30, 2019, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | Management fees | | | Other Expense Reimbursements | | | Total Expense Reimbursements | |

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 2019, the Fund participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Fund based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was $770,000,000 prior to April 30, 2019.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2019 , Goldman Sachs did not earn any brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Fund.
As of April 30, 2019, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 100%, 32%, 100%, 100% and 100% of outstanding Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares, respectively of the Fund.

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities oflong-term securities for the six months ended April 30, 2019, were $1,478,445 and $1,558,403, respectively.
As of the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end, October 31, 2018, the Fund’s capital loss carryforwards and certain timing differences on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Capital loss carryforwards:(1) | | | | |
Perpetual Long Term | | $ | (399,559 | ) |
Perpetual Short Term | | | (23,066 | ) |
Total capital loss carryovers | | $ | (422,625 | ) |
Timing differences (Straddle Deferral) | | $ | 140 | |
(1) | | Due to certain Section 382 limitations, certain losses may be limited. |
As of April 30, 2019, the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 4,469,080 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 42,773 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (13,119 | ) |
Net unrealizd security gain (loss) | | $ | 29,654 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures and options contracts, net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments and swap transactions.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk— The Fund’s use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk— Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (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. To the extent that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If the Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.
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”), the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include the Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly, may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it

|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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. These risks may be more pronounced in connection with the Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
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.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2019 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, which represents a period of 181 days in a365-day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

GOLDMAN SACHS INCOME BUILDER FUND
What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’
Income Builder Fund Investment Process?
Income Builder Fund is a broadly diversified portfolio that seeks to provide income and capital appreciation.
The Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund provides exposure to the wealth-building opportunities of stocks and the regular income potential of bonds. The Fund invests in both equity and fixed income securities with a focus on yield enhancing strategies to earn a monthly income stream. The Fund seeks to maintain broad exposure to equities with lower than general equity market volatility.
We believe that similar themes can perform differently across asset classes. The Fund can potentially take advantage of these cross-asset class opportunities as it is a dynamic portfolio that allows the flexibility to allocate across equities and fixed income from a top-down perspective, given our views on macro opportunities and valuations.
In our risk management process, we identify, monitor and measure a fund’s risk profile. We consider the risk relative to the benchmark and the Fund’s investment goal to seek income stability and capital growth.
The Fund’s portfolio comprises the ideas of three experienced Goldman Sachs investment groups:
Global Fundamental Equity Group: A group of investment professionals averaging over 15 years of investment experience and with a strong commitment to fundamental research.
Global Fixed Income Group: Broad, deep capabilities across global fixed income markets, with a total return investment philosophy.
Global Portfolio Solutions Group: The team is comprised of over 135* professionals with significant academic and practitioner experience.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Team, the Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Investment Management Team, and the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Team, collectively the Goldman Sachs Income Builder Team (the “Income Builder Team”), discuss the Goldman Sachs Income Builder Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 7.59%, 7.13%, 7.77%, 7.67%, 7.77% and 7.73%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.90% and 6.07% cumulative total returns of the Russell 1000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Russell Index”) and the ICE BofAML BB to B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index (the “ICE BofAML Index”), respectively, during the same period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, Federal Reserve (“Fed”) monetary policy, economic growth expectations and geopolitics most influenced the financial markets and the Fund. |
| When the Reporting Period began in November 2018, U.S. stocks gained on dovish comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and encouraging progress in U.S.-China trade talks. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) Within fixed income, U.S. Treasury yields fell, as investors grew fearful about the possible end of the global economic cycle and as their expectations for Fed rate hikes diminished. U.S. high yield corporate bonds experienced a modest loss amid pressure on corporate profit margins, company-specific events and lower crude oil prices. In December 2018, Fed policymakers raised short-term interest rates, much as the markets had expected, but lowered their projection for 2019 monetary policy tightening from three rate hikes to two. The U.S.10-year Treasury yield fell on a combination of market-perceived safe-haven demand and lower crude oil prices. For similar reasons, U.S. high yield corporate credit posted its worst monthly total return since 2015. Meanwhile, U.S. equities plunged on renewed investor fears sparked by the partial U.S. federal government shutdown, the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Powell and reignited corporate earnings growth concerns. |
| During the first quarter of 2019, U.S. stocks posted double-digit gains. The Fed kept its monetary policy unchanged, with its dot plot projecting no interest rate hikes at all during 2019. (The “dot plot” shows interest rate projections of the members of the Federal Open Market Committee.) Largely as a result, U.S. Treasury yields fell. U.S. high yield corporate bonds logged their strongest start to a calendar year on record, due in part to better than market expected corporate earnings and improved investor risk sentiment. |
| U.S. stocks continued to rally in April 2019, driven by the dovish Fed, market anticipation of a rebound in Chinese economic growth and investor expectations of a resolution to trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. U.S. equities received additional support from positive corporate earnings reports. In fixed income, the U.S.10-year Treasury yield fell, driven by a drop in the breakeven inflation rate. (The breakeven inflation rate is a market-based measure of expected inflation.) U.S. high yield corporate bonds delivered positive returns, as corporate earnings remained better than market expected, global economic data improved and the market anticipated a lengthier credit cycle. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s asset allocation positioning during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As part of its principal investment strategies, the Fund has a baseline allocation of 60% to fixed income securities and 40% to equity securities, though in seeking to meet its investment objective, the Fund has the flexibility to opportunistically tilt the allocation to fixed income and equity securities up to 15% above or below that baseline allocation. The Fund seeks to provide a high and stable |

| income stream plus capital appreciation, with lower volatility than the equity market. The percentage of the portfolio invested in equity and fixed income securities will vary from time to time as the Income Builder Team evaluates such securities’ relative attractiveness based on, among other factors, income opportunities, market valuations, economic growth and inflation prospects. Because of these stated goals of the Fund, the Income Builder Team believes the returns of the Russell Index and the ICE BofAML Index should be considered for reference only. |
| At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund was invested 39.9% in equities and 55.7% in fixed income, with the balance of 4.4% in cash and cash equivalents. During the Reporting Period, we lengthened the Fund’s duration position. (Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) In addition, we sought to mitigate potential risk within high yield corporate credit and within equities. We also increased the Fund’s position in cash and cash equivalents. Within equities, we reduced the Fund’s allocation to emerging markets stocks amidst lowered investor expectations for global economic growth and as U.S.-China trade negotiations dragged on. Over the course of the first quarter of 2019, as equities outperformed our expectations, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to stocks and sold equity call options to mitigate potential downside risk. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was invested 37.8% in equities and 58.0% in fixed income, with the balance of 4.2% in cash and cash equivalents. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s12-month distribution rate and what was its30-day SEC yield during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares provided12-month distribution rates of 3.69%, 3.03%, 3.98%, 3.85%, 3.99% and 3.99%, respectively. On April 30, 2019, the Fund’s30-day SEC yields (subsidized) for its Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares were 3.13%, 2.57%, 3.70%, 3.56%, 3.71% and 3.71%, respectively. |
Q | | What key factors had the greatest impact on the performance of the Fund’s equity allocation during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Russell Index, stock selection had the greatest positive impact on the Fund’s equity allocation during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s call writing strategy, which seeks to generate additional cash flow and potentially reduce volatility by sales of call options on the S&P 500® Index or other regional stock market indices (or related ETFs), had a negative impact on its performance during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s overweight positions compared to the Russell Index in the utilities, information technology and industrials sectors added to its returns. Stock selection in all three sectors also contributed positively. Detracting most from relative performance was the Fund’s positioning in two sectors. The Fund was hampered by a modest overweight position in health care and by an underweight position in consumer staples. Stock selection in both sectors also detracted from relative results. |
Q | | Which stocks contributed significantly to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Compared to the Russell Index, the Fund’s investments in Microsoft, Enel and Rio Tinto added to performance during the Reporting Period. |
| Microsoft was the Fund’s top positive contributor. The developer and marketer of software and hardware services posted strong quarterly earnings results during the Reporting Period, with outperformance across all business segments, including continued robust demand for its cloud computing service, Azure. Investor concerns around slowing hardware purchases, which had caused Microsoft to underperform in early 2019, also eased toward the end of the Reporting Period. At the end of the Reporting Period, we had a favorable view of the company’s ongoing progress in migrating enterprise customers to its cloud platform, as Microsoft remains a major player in the public cloud market. We also continued to believe Microsoft was a well-diversified, high quality company led by an excellent management team. |
| Another notable contributor to the Fund’s relative returns was Enel, a European utility company. Its shares traded higher after Enel reported solid quarterly earnings, driven largely by strong growth in renewables/networks, which offset its weaker Italian operations. We, along with the market at large, were also positive about the company’s new business plan and outlook for 2019. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Enel was continuing to trade at an attractive valuation relative to its peers. In addition, we had a favorable view of the company’s cash flow generation. |

FUND RESULTS
| Rio Tinto, an Anglo-Australian company that explores, mines and processes mineral resources, also added to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. The company reported strong 2018 results with successfully completed disposals as well as higher iron ore shipments and mined copper production, which led its share price higher. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed Rio Tinto may benefit from continued commodity price strength, especially iron ore. We also thought shares of Rio Tinto were trading at an attractive discount relative to peers. In our view, the company also offered high asset quality, a strong balance sheet and a sustainable dividend yield. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the largest detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the Russell Index were Altria Group, The Kraft Heinz Company (“Kraft”) and British American Tobacco. |
| Altria Group, which produces and markets tobacco products, was a top detractor from the Fund’s relative returns. At the beginning of the Reporting Period, its share price declined in response to the Federal Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) increased focus on regulation, including the potential of minimizing youth access toe-vapor products. In our view, Altria Group was well insulated from key pressures facing the consumer packaged goods industry and was attractively valued at the end of the Reporting Period. Additionally, we believed the company had positioned itself to continue adapting to consumer preferences over time. |
| Kraft, a producer of processed food and beverages, also hurt the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. Its shares plummeted near the end of February 2019 after the company reported quarterly earnings that missed market estimates across all metrics. Furthermore, Kraft cut its dividend by roughly one third, announced a $15 billion goodwill impairment* charge, and said it had received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Following the report, we decided to exit the Fund’s position in the stock in favor of what we considered to be more attractive investment opportunities. |
| Another leading detractor from the Fund’s relative results was U.K.-based British American Tobacco. Its stock declined following reports that senior FDA officials had signaled a possible ban on menthol cigarettes. Although such a ban could take years to implement, we believed the company was overexposed to menthol relative to its peers and could be impacted most if the ban takes effect. Given the continued regulatory uncertainty arounde-cigarettes in general, combined with British American Tobacco’s weak underlying growth and its high levels of debt, we decided to eliminate the Fund’s investment in the stock by the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Were any significant purchases or sales made within the equity allocation of the Fund during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund initiated a position in Texas Instruments. In our view, the company is a high quality semiconductor manufacturer that has underperformed due to fears around tariffs, trade tensions and slowing economic growth. We also believed its stock was trading at an attractive valuation relative to peers and its share price was highly discounted due to these investor fears. |
| Another notable purchase was CMS Energy, which is focused on electric and gas utility operations. We appreciated what we saw as the company’s excellent execution, solid earnings growth and favorable medium-term outlook in an encouraging regulatory environment. Furthermore, we had a positive view on what we considered to be CMS Energy’s strong balance sheet, attractive dividend yield and management team. |
| Among sales completed during the Reporting Period was the Fund’s position in Duke Energy, a regulated utility company and the largest electric power holding company in the U.S. |
| * | | Goodwill impairment is an earnings charge that companies record on their income statements after they identify that there is persuasive evidence that the asset associated with the goodwill can no longer demonstrate financial results that were expected from it at the time of its purchase. Because many companies acquire other firms and pay a price that exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities that the acquired firm possesses, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of acquired assets is recorded as goodwill. However, if unforeseen circumstances arise that decrease expected cash flows from acquired assets, their fair value can be lower than what was originally paid for them, and a company must book a goodwill impairment. |

FUND RESULTS
| Our original investment thesis had largely played out, and the stock had reached our price target. We decided to sell the stock in order to pursue new, high conviction ideas in the utilities sector. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in Fortis, a Canada-based diversified electric utility. Our original investment thesis had largely played out, and the stock had reached our price target. We exited the Fund’s position in the stock in favor of new, high conviction ideas in the utilities sector. |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund’s equity market sector and industry weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we reduced the Fund’s exposures to the consumer staples and health care sectors. We increased its exposures to the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Russell Index in the information technology, energy, real estate, industrials and utilities sectors. Within the energy sector, the Fund was overweight energy infrastructure companies. Within the real estate sector, the Fund was overweight real estate investment trusts. The Fund was underweight compared to the Russell Index in the financials, health care, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. Relative to the Russell Index, the Fund was rather neutrally weighted in the communication services and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which fixed income market segments significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the ICE BofAML Index, the Fund’s overweight position in communications-related high yield corporate bonds detracted from performance as did an underweight in consumer cyclicals-related high yield corporate bonds. In addition, a slight overweight in emerging markets debt diminished the Fund’s relative returns. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from its underweight position in energy-related high yield corporate bonds and from its overweight position in technology-related high yield corporate bonds. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategies affect performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s duration positioning strategy added to returns. Specifically, our decision to lengthen the Fund’s duration position contributed positively, as interest rates generally declined over the course of the Reporting Period. We do not actively manage the Fund’s yield curve positioning as part of our investment process. (Yield curve is a spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths.) |
Q | | What changes were made to the Fund’s fixed income weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s exposure to the commercial services and technology market segments. We accomplished this by making investments in the business services, payment processing and software industries within these market segments. In addition, we reduced the Fund’s overweight in cellular telecommunications, as we sought to increase diversification across industries and individual securities. In April 2019, we scaled back the Fund’s exposure overall to high yield corporate bonds due to their strong performance since the beginning of the calendar year. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the ICE BofAML Index in the banking and technology market segments. It was also overweight communications industries broadly. Compared to the ICE BofAML Index, the Fund was underweight the gaming and lodging, energy, and metals and mining market segments. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As mentioned previously, the Income Builder Team wrote equity index options on a portion of the Fund’s equity allocation in an effort to generate additional cash flow and potentially reduce volatility (negative impact on performance). In addition, total return swaps were employed as part of the systematic strategy to buy and sell equity index options (negative impact). Within the Fund’s fixed income allocation, the Income Builder Team used interest rates swaps and U.S. Treasury futures as cost-efficient instruments to provide greater precision and versatility in the management of duration (both had a positive impact). To hedge against currency risk (that is, the risk that certain currencies might fluctuate in value), the Fund employed currency forwards to express our views on a given currency (slightly negative impact). Finally, equity futures were utilized within the Fund overall to help manage cash balances during the Reporting Period (positive impact). |

Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Effective February 19, 2019, Raymond Chan no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Fund, and Christopher Lvoff became a portfolio manager of the Fund. As of March 1, 2019, David Beers no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Fund, and Ashish Shah became a portfolio manager of the Fund. By design, all investment decisions for the Fund 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 Fund. At the end of the Reporting Period, the portfolio managers for the Fund were Ashish Shah, Ron Arons, Collin Bell, Daniel Lochner, Charles “Brook” Dane and Christopher Lvoff. |
Q | | What is the Income Builder Team’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Income Builder Team believed U.S. equities had rebounded from a tumultuous environment at the end of 2018. In our view, equities should continue to appreciate and corporate earnings should continue to grow, albeit at a more moderate pace, throughout 2019. We considered the U.S. economic backdrop steady at the end of the Reporting Period, with above-trend economic growth and a solid labor market, as demonstrated by a low unemployment rate and ongoing wage growth. Although higher wages, along with rising raw materials and transportation costs, have pressured corporate profit margins, we believed the impact had been partially offset by topline growth and in some cases, company pricing power. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed corporate fundamentals remained healthy, with no immediate risks. Additionally, the Fed had adopted a patient, data-driven approach to avoid raising short-term interest rates too quickly. That said, fundamental,bottom-up stock selection will continue to drive our process, not headlines or investor sentiment, regardless of the market direction. We maintained high conviction in the companies owned by the equity portion of the Fund at the end of the Reporting Period, and we believed they have the potential to outperform relative to the broader market regardless of the growth environment. We intend to continue focusing on undervalued companies we believe are in control of their own future, such as innovators with differentiated products, companies withlow-cost structures and firms that have been investing in their own businesses and are poised to gain market share. We intend to maintain our discipline in identifying companies with what we consider to be strong or improving balance sheets, led by quality management teams and trading at discounted valuations, seeking to generate long-term outperformance. |
| Within the fixed income allocation, the Fund remained overweight U.S. high yield corporate bonds at the end of Reporting Period. In our opinion, the high yield corporate bond market was supported by strong fundamentals, with the high yield default rate below the historical average at the close of the Reporting Period; ongoing investor demand amid solid investment inflows into high yield corporate bond mutual funds during the first four months of 2019; a net demand/supply imbalance; and fair but not rich valuations. We plan to maintain the Fund’s underweight relative to the ICE BofAML Index inBB-rated high yield corporate bonds, as we considered them expensive at the end of the Reporting Period. We had a favorable view of high yield corporate bonds issued by smaller companies, as they generally underperformed high yield corporate bonds issued by larger companies during the Reporting Period and therefore were relatively less expensive, in our view. Going forward, we expect to continue increasing the Fund’s diversification among individual securities. We intend to reduce the Fund’s overweight relative to the ICE BofAML Index in communications industries and trim its underweight in consumer-oriented market segments, given our positive views on employment, consumer sentiment and health of household balance sheets. We plan to maintain the Fund’s overweight in energy-related high yield corporate bonds, primarily high quality exploration and production issues, due to the potential of consolidating mergers and acquisitions activity. Finally, we expected to reduce the Fund’s exposure to the technology and chemicals market segments because of tight valuations at the end of the Reporting Period. |

| | Class R6 | | | 3.99 | | | | 3.71 | | | | 3.68 | |
| 4 | | The 12 month distribution rate is calculated by taking the sum of all cash distributions over the past 12 months and dividing by the month end NAV in the last month of the period. Distributions may include interest from fixed income, dividends from equities, short term and long term capital gains, return of capital, and special distributions. Return of capital distribution may include a return of some or all of the money that an investor invested in Fund shares. Distributions from securities such as MLPs passing through the Fund may also be characterized as return of capital. Special distributions may include any off-cycle distributions that occur outside of regular interest or dividend payment dates, such as when a company opts to pay a special dividend. The amounts and sources of distribution are not provided for tax reporting purposes. The Fund reports the character of distributions for federal income tax purposes each calendar year on Form 1099-DIV. Distributions will fluctuate over time and a large proportion of the distribution may occur at the end of the year in the form of capital gains. Distributions and market value movements affect the NAV of the Fund and will also affect this calculation. 12 month distribution rate numbers are based on historical distributions and NAVs and are not predictive of future distributions or yields. 12 month distribution rate is calculated to provide a sense of the total cash flow associated with investment in the Fund, but should not be confused with SEC yield, dividend yield or interest yield. |
| 5 | | The method of calculation of the30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the SEC and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the last 30 days of the period by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. The30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/ or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield and30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical. |

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

Investment Objective
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and current income.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Quantitative Investment Strategies (“QIS”) portfolio management team, the Goldman Sachs Global Portfolio Solutions Group and the Dividend Assets Capital, LLC (“DAC”) portfolio management team, the Fund’ssub-adviser, discuss the Goldman Sachs Rising Dividend Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.37%, 8.99%, 9.60%, 9.52%, 9.61%, 9.18% and 9.53%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.76% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s® 500 Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “S&P 500 Index”), during the same time period. |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced the U.S. equity markets as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The S&P 500 Index gained 2.04% in November 2018 following a volatile prior month. Trade and political uncertainty persisted, but U.S. equities were buoyed by dovish comments from the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Jerome Powell and by seemingly encouraging progress towardChina-U.S. trade talks. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) The U.S. midterm elections on November 6th resulted in a divided government, as had been widely anticipated, with the Democrats gaining control of the House of Representatives and the Republicans maintaining their majority in the Senate. U.S. economic data remained strong, with Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growing at an annualized pace of 3.5% in the third quarter of 2018, following a 4.2% annualized GDP growth rate in the second calendar quarter. However, the rally was short-lived, as U.S. equities plunged in December 2018 on renewed investor fears, sparked by the arrest of a Chinese technology executive, the partial federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Powell. |
| The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% in January 2019, as U.S. equities rebounded after a challenging and volatile 2018. The U.S. federal government shutdown and decelerating emerging market demand were headwinds, but U.S. equities were buoyed by dovish Fed commentary, headlines of easing trade tensions and strong corporate earnings reports. The December 2018 labor market report was solid, with the U.S. economy adding 312,000 jobs, and the annualized growth rate in average hourly earnings reaching a cycle high of 3.2%. Other U.S. activity data were mixed. The ISM manufacturing andnon-manufacturing indices declined to 54.1 and 57.6, respectively, in December 2018. Flash Purchasing Managers Index data for January 2019 indicated growth stabilization in the U.S. but continued downward paths for other key advanced economies, such as Europe and Japan. Toward month end, U.S. equities were supported by a temporary end to the U.S. government shutdown. Also supportive was the Fed keeping its monetary policy unchanged at its January 2019 meeting and delivering dovish tilts, including the statement it will be “patient” as it determines “future adjustments” of interest rates and its description of inflationary pressures as “muted.” |
| The S&P 500 Index increased 3.21% in February, extending the prior month’s gains. U.S. equities were buoyed by promising developments in U.S.-China trade talks, further indications of the Fed’s dovish stance and evidence of a solid U.S. economy. The U.S. equities market was primarily fixated on U.S.-China trade negotiations, and investors rallied around the headline that enough progress had been made to avert the increase in tariffs on Chinese goods that had been scheduled for March 1st. After confirming the shift in its thinking in January 2019 to prioritize “patience,” the Fed maintained this dovish stance by announcing its intention to maintain a larger balance sheet and therefore stop its quantitative tightening, or the shrinking of the Fed |

| balance sheet as securities mature, by the end of the year, a move that pushed longer-term bond yields down and pushed U.S. equity indices higher. The release of a fourth quarter 2018 GDP growth rate of 2.6% on an annualized basis illustrated that the U.S. economy was moderating but remained seemingly healthy. U.S. unemployment came in persistently low at 4.05%, and private payrolls grew by 296,000 in January 2019, beating consensus expectations by 90,000. |
| The S&P 500 Index rose 1.94% in March, bringing first quarter 2019 returns to 13.65%. After a volatile end to 2018, the rally to begin 2019 marked the best first quarter performance for the S&P 500 Index since 1998. Fed commentary provided a supportive background for U.S. equities, as Fed Chair Powell reiterated a “patient” approach to monetary policy that included a pause in interest rate hikes and a nearing end to its balance sheet runoff. The U.S. unemployment rate remained well below trend at 3.8% in February 2019, with a steady increase in wages of 3.4% year over year. Housing data continued to show strength in the first quarter, with new home sales reaching 667,000 in February 2019, bringing the three-month average up to 630,000. Strength in housing data can be partially attributed to a steep decline in mortgage rates, resulting, in turn, from a more cautious Fed. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index was a point of significant strength in the U.S. economy, steadily climbing in each month of the first quarter and eventually reaching 98.4 in March 2019, its highest level in six months. Economic growth concerns, however, failed to completely abate, as fourth quarter 2018 GDP growth was revised down 0.4% in March to a 2.2% annualized rate. While the revision was further evidence of a slowing U.S. economy, the result was largely priced in by U.S. equity markets and thus had limited effect on stock prices outside the financials sector, which tends to be more rate sensitive. |
| The S&P 500 Index increased 4.05% in April 2019, extending March’s gains and bringingyear-to-date total returns to 18.25%. After a strong first calendar quarter, U.S. equities continued to rally, driven by a relatively accommodative Fed, consensus anticipation of a rebound in Chinese economic growth, and widespread expectations of a resolution to trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. U.S. equities received additional support from a healthy start to the first quarter 2019 corporate earnings season. Consensus estimates had come down since the beginning of the calendar year, but a significant number of companies were able to deliver positive surprises. Within the broader economic backdrop, the U.S. labor market report for March eased near-term recession concerns, as the 196,000 payroll gain came in above consensus expectations. Year-over-year wage growth of 3.3% appeared high enough to support real wage growth and, by extension, consumption, without prompting fears at the Fed of rising inflationary pressures. The first estimate of first quarter 2019 GDP annualized growth was 3.2%, a signal the U.S. economy was still growing at an above-trend rate. |
| For the Reporting Period overall, consumer discretionary, information technology, real estate and industrials were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index. The weakest performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index were energy, health care, consumer staples and financials. |
| Within the U.S. equity market, all capitalization segments posted solid positive absolute returns, but on a relative basis,mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index, performed best, followed closely bylarge-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, and then, at some distance, bysmall-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.) |
Q | | What economic and market factors most influenced energy MLPs as a whole during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In the first months of the Reporting Period, fears about a U.S. economic slowdown led by weakness abroad and trade tensions with China triggered a global equity marketsell-off, including energy Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). Brent crude oil active contracts lost 26.8% between October 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018, while economically-sensitive indices like the Dow Jones Transportation Average declined approximately 10% and the S&P 500 Index shed approximately 7.6%. As a result, Fed policy makers paused their interest rate hiking cycle and signaled monetary policy would remain accommodative and “patient” with any future interest rate increases. Risky assets subsequently rebounded from their December 2018 lows in the new calendar year, including equity markets and commodity prices. In the meantime, U.S. economic data, such as Purchasing Managers Index (“PMI”), Consumer Sentiment Index and labor market data all came in above consensus expectations. China’s PMI also reverted from contraction to expansion, suggesting its government’s stimulus measures put in place in 2018 started to channel |

| through different economic sectors. With the relief rally at the start of 2019, Brent crude oil active contracts jumped 31.6% between January 1, 2019 and April 30, 2019. For the same time period, the Dow Jones Transportation Average rebounded approximately 18.8%, and the S&P 500 Index was up approximately 18.3%. |
| Overall, midstream assets operators, as measured by the Alerian U.S. Midstream Energy Index (“AMNA”), which is a broad-based composite of North American energy infrastructure companies, delivered a total return of 10.70% for the Reporting Period. (The midstream component of the energy industry is usually defined as those companies providing products or services that help link the supply side, i.e. energy producers, and the demand side, i.e. energyend-users, for any type of energy commodity. Such midstream businesses can include, but are not limited to, those that process, store, market and transport various energy commodities.) The energyMLP-based Alerian MLP Index (“AMZ”) posted a total return of 3.41%, and the S&P 500 Index energy sector generated a total return of 0.07% for the Reporting Period. AMNA’s outperformance of AMZ indicated, in our view, strength and investor acceptance fornon-MLP structured midstream assets operators. AMNA’s and AMZ’s outperformance of pure energy companies indicated, in our opinion, that the attractive yield and improved business fundamentals for the midstream space were embraced by investors seeking income and energy commodity exposure. |
| Notably, during the Reporting Period, the topic of simplification — through a Limited Partnership roll up or an Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”) buy in or a structural change from an MLP to a C-corp — to seek to attract a broad investor base was at the forefront of traditional MLP management decision making. (IDRs give a general partner an increasing share of a limited partnership’s incremental distributable cash flow. Used in MLPs, IDRs outlineper-unit distribution increases to the limited partners. IDRs are used to align the interests of all parties in a partnership. A C-corp, orC-corporation, is a corporation in which the owners, or shareholders, are taxed separately from the entity.) As a result, there was increased merger activity between limited partners and general partners during the Reporting Period. Some of these corporate events caused heightened volatility. Some became a catalyst for superior performance, for as idiosyncratic risks increased, actively managed strategies outperformed passively managed strategies during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | While the Fund posted solid absolute gains, it underperformed the S&P 500 Index on a relative basis for the Reporting Period. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s dividend-paying investments outperformed the S&P 500ex-Energy Index, the benchmark used for the dividend-paying growers portion of the Fund. While sector allocation contributed positively, albeit modestly, to relative results, the primary driver of outperformance within this portion of the Fund was stock selection. |
| For the Reporting Period, the Fund’s MLP assets outperformed the Alerian MLP Index, the benchmark used for the MLP portion of the Fund. Such outperformance was driven by favorable stock selection and, to a lesser degree, by effective allocation positioning. In particular, DAC’s focus on high quality midstream assets operators contributed positively to its relative performance during the Reporting Period. On a factor level, the Fund’s MLPs had positive active exposure to growth and profitability and negative exposure to leverage, dividend yield and volatility. Such positioning proved beneficial, for as crude oil prices rebounded from their December 2018 low in the first several months of 2019, factors such as higher growth and profitability drove returns, while high leverage detracted. A position in cash within this portion of the Fund, albeit modest, detracted from relative results during this Reporting Period when the Alerian MLP Index posted solid positive returns. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The dividend-paying growers portion of the Fund does not take explicit sector bets relative to the S&P 500ex-Energy Index but rather allocations are the result of stock selection. That said, the sectors that contributed most positively on a relative basis to the S&P 500ex-Energy Index during the Reporting Period were information technology, financials and communication services. Partially offsetting these positive contributors were consumer staples, health care and industrials, which detracted from this portion of the Fund’s relative results. |

FUND RESULTS
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Having no exposure to information technology giant Apple, which underperformed the S&P 500ex-Energy Index during the Reporting Period, contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Among positions held, the top individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period were overweighted positions in semiconductor company Xilinx and entertainment company The Walt Disney Company, each of which outperformed the S&P 500ex-Energy Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the S&P 500ex-Energy Index during the Reporting Period were overweight positions in integrated pharmacy health care provider CVS Health and health care products developer, manufacturer and distributor Perrigo and an underweight position in software behemoth Microsoft. CVS Health and Perrigo underperformed the S&P 500ex-Energy Index and Microsoft outperformed the S&P 500ex-Energy Index during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which industries within the Alerian MLP Index most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As measured by the Alerian MLP Index, the GICSsub-industries that contributed most positively on a relative basis during the Reporting Period were oil and gas storage and transportation; oil and gas equipment and services; and gas utilities. Effective security selection helped most within oil and gas storage and transportation, while both security selection and having an underweight to oil and gas equipment and services boosted relative results. The Fund had no exposure to gas utilities, which proved prudent, as thesub-industry underperformed the Alerian MLP Index during the Reporting Period. |
| Only twosub-industries detracted from the MLP portion of the Fund during the Reporting Period, partially offsetting these positive contributors. Weak security selection within oil and gas refining and marketing and having an overweight to coal and consumable fuels detracted. The negative impact in both cases was due primarily to the timing of the Alerian MLP Index changing its rules to no longer include the coal and consumable fuelssub-industry and also excluding one of the Fund’s holdings within the oil and gas refining and marketingsub-industry after the company changed the legal entity from a limited partnership to a limited liability company. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing MLPs and energy infrastructure securities during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Alerian MLP Index, among those MLPs and energy infrastructure securities that contributed most to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Williams Cos., EQGP Holdings L.P. and Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. Each of these holdings delivered a double-digit positive absolute return during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which MLPs and energy infrastructure securities detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among those MLPs and energy infrastructure securities detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Alerian MLP Index were overweight positions in Targa Resources Corp., EnLink Midstream Partners, L.P. and Antero Midstream Partners, L.P., each of which posted a double-digit negative return during the Reporting Period. EnLink Midstream Partners, L.P. and Antero Midstream Partners, L.P. each merged with their general partners during the Reporting Period and then changed their underlying ticker and legal entity in the process. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The MLP portion of the Fund did not use derivatives during the Reporting Period. The dividend-paying equity investments portion of the Fund used equity index futures on an opportunistic basis during the Reporting Period to equitize its modest cash position. 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. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant equity purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The dividend-paying growers portion of the Fund uses a systematic, rules-based approach and thus equity purchases and sales are based solely on that quantitative process. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales of MLPs during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The MLP portion of the Fund initiated a position in Oneok, Inc. (“OKE”) during the Reporting Period. OKE is a fully |

FUND RESULTS
| integrated and diversified midstream asset operator that, in our view, has a simplified organizational structure and strong cash flow to support potential dividend growth. OKE’s debt is rated investment grade, offering attractive financing to support growth projects that may create economic value for shareholders, in our opinion. At the time of purchase, we viewed OKE as undervalued and believed it had the potential to produce superior returns. |
| We established a Fund position in Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”). HEP is the limited partnership of HollyFrontier Corp. HEP has grown its distribution every quarter since its Initial Public Offering in March 2014, with a rather stable rate of growth of about 6% per year. Most of HEP’s assets support crude oil transportation, terminaling, and storage for the petroleum industry. Unlike other MLPs that had strongly rebounded in the first months of 2019, HEP had not done so at the time of the Fund‘s purchase in early April 2019. However, HEP had held its value relatively well during the collapse of late 2018. We view HEP as a stable distribution payer with a straightforward business model. |
| Conversely, the MLP portion of the Fund eliminated its position in Summit Midstream Partners (“SMLP”) after the limited partner announced a distribution cut as well as the stepping down of its Chief Executive Officer at the end of February 2019. Based on our investment criteria, the distribution cut triggered DAC’s sell discipline. The timing of our sale proved prudent, as SMLP’s share price declined significantly since its distribution cut announcement. |
| We exited the MLP portion of the Fund’s position in Andeavor Logistics, L.P. (“ANDX”), as its general partner agreed to be acquired by Marathon Petroleum Corp. (“MPLX”), which already has a stand-alone MLP structure. Since then, ANDX’s distribution growth rate decelerated. Further, in our view, the opportunity for ANDX to be folded into MPLX reduced ANDX’s investment attractiveness. Thus, we sold the position in favor of what we believed were better opportunities elsewhere. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s equity sector weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | As mentioned earlier, under the QIS team’s investment approach, the dividend-paying growers portion of the Fund does not take sector bets by design. Therefore, the dividend-paying investments portion of the Fund, using a quantitative process, strove to be similar to the S&P 500ex-Energy Index in terms of sector allocation. We seek to provide exposure to high quality, dividend-paying growers within each sector. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s MLP weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Alerian MLP Index updated its methodology guidance and inclusion rules. As a result, the Alerian MLP Index no longer has exposure to gas utilities; oil and gas exploration and production; oil and gas equipment services; and coal and consumable fuels. The only GICSsub-industries the Alerian MLP Index has exposure to since November 30, 2018 are oil and gas storage and transportation and oil and gas refining and marketing. Given these changes, the MLP portion of the Fund hadout-of-benchmark exposure to oil and gas equipment and services; oil and gas exploration and production; coal and consumable fuels and renewable electricity at the end of the Reporting Period. Based on GICSsub-industries, the MLP portion of the Fund had an underweighted allocation relative to the Alerian MLP Index in oil and gas storage and transportation and had no exposure to oil and gas refining and marketing. |
| At the end of the Reporting Period, the MLP portion of the Fund had its largest allocation in the oil and gas storage and transportationsub-industry, equivalent to approximately 91.6% of the Fund’s MLP assets, excluding cash. |
Q | | How was the dividend-paying investments portion of the Fund positioned relative to the S&P 500ex-Energy Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | As mentioned earlier, it is not part of the dividend-paying investments portion of the Fund’s approach to take sector bets. Thus, at the end of April 2019, the dividend-paying investments portion of the Fund had rather neutral positions in each sector of the S&P 500ex-Energy Index. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes in either portion of the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead? |
A | | The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and current income. Within the dividend-paying growers sleeve, we maintained confidence at the end of the Reporting Period in high quality business models that have demonstrated commitment to grow their dividend in a rather stable manner. |

FUND RESULTS
| As for MLPs, we believed at the end of the Reporting Period that macroeconomic conditions continued to be key. Healthy economic conditions historically support higher demand for crude oil and energy consumption. In turn, we would expect U.S. shale operators to benefit from higher production and relatively stable prices, and midstream assets operators to benefit from increased volume transportation, export, storage and other process steps through the value chain. In our view, manageable inflation and an accommodative monetary environment increases the attractiveness of higher income assets such as midstream MLPs. |
| On the micro level, as MLPs simplify their organizational structures and improve governance, we believe disciplined investment and sustainable distribution/dividend policies can provide much-needed confidence for other investors seeking not only attractive valuations but also exposure to a positive commodity cycle and higher or sustainable income potential. Finally, we expect mergers and acquisitions to increase among exploration and production companies, which could increase both risk and opportunity to associated MLPs, creating winners and losers along the way. We believe the MLP portion of the Fund was well positioned at the end of the Reporting Period, embracing the changes in the MLP space to diversify some of the MLP structure-related risks and to focus on those names having a broad value chain presence and those with ownership of critical assets that are hard to replicate due to regulatory constraints. In our opinion, the most important feature of the MLP portion of the Fund is its emphasis on higher quality through growth and profitability and its underweight to the leverage and high yield factors — especially in a late economic cycle environment. Over the long term, we believe this focus on high quality has produced superior relative returns compared to the Alerian MLP Index, despite near-term market volatility. As always, we continue to monitor domestic and global economies, geopolitical factors, interest rates and equity market fundamentals as we actively manage the Fund. |

| 3 | | The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. Effective February 27, 2012, the Rising Dividend Growth Fund, a series of Dividend Growth Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”), was reorganized into the Fund. As accounting successor to the Predecessor Fund, the Fund has assumed the Predecessor Fund’s historical performance. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Prior to February 27, 2012 (the effective date of the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund), the maximum initial sales charge applicable to sales of Class A Shares of the Predecessor Fund was 5.75%, which is not reflected in the average annual total return figures shown. 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. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

(j) | | Bank Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. As bank loan positions may involve multiple underlying tranches for which the aggregate position is presented, the stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts on April 30, 2019. Bank Loans typically have rates of interest which are predetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These |
| | base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders. |
| |
(k) | | This position represents an unsettled loan commitment at period end. Certain details associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date, including coupon rate. |
| |
(l) | | All or a portion of security is segregated as collateral for initial margin requirements on futures transactions. |
| |
(m) | | Represents an affiliated issuer/fund. |
| |
(n) | | Reverse repurchase agreements are entered on a rolling day-to-day basis with no final maturity; both parties to the agreement have the right to terminate the contract on any date. |

|
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 U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT. Distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally recorded based on the characterization reported on the MLP’s tax return. A 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. 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. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as income.
C. Class Allocations and Expenses —Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), 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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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 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 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 |
Income Builder | | | | Monthly | | Annually |
Rising Dividend Growth Fund | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from 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.
| | |
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | | |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
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 United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. Bank Loans — Bank loans (“Loans”) are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. Loans are arranged through private negotiations between the borrower and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”). A Fund’s investments in Loans are in the form of either participations in Loans (“Participations”) or assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third parties (“Assignments”). With respect to Participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the Lender selling the Participations and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement with respect to Participations. Conversely, assignments result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may be permitted to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
ii. Commercial Paper — Commercial paper normally represents short-term unsecured promissory notes issued in bearer form by banks or bank holding companies, corporations, finance companies and other issuers. Commercial paper consists of direct U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of domestic or foreign issuers. Asset-backed commercial paper is issued by a special purpose entity that is organized to issue the commercial paper and to purchase trade receivables or other financial assets.
iii. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real estate property. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of other assets or receivables. The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers.
Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral.
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all interest payments (interest-only, or “IO” and/or high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all principal payments (principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income.
iv. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designatedsub-custodians undertri-party repurchase agreements.
An MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation of the transaction, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty.
If the seller defaults, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund are less than the repurchase price and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, a court could determine that a Fund’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Under these joint accounts, the Funds maintainpro-rata credit exposure to the underlying repurchase agreements’ counterparties. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.
Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts.Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are 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.
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 contractis 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.
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.
iii. Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequentlymarked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate and/or credit default 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 subsequentlymarked-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 aremarked-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 anymark-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 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.
Secured Borrowings — Secured borrowings are valued at their contractual amounts, which approximate fair value, and are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
i. Reverse Repurchase Agreements — Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest), under the terms of an MRA. The gross value of reverse repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.
When a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it is required to deliver securities as collateral to the counterparty that exceed the value of the reverse repurchase agreement. During the term of a reverse repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities pledged as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the value of those securities pledged as collateral, including accrued interest, becomes less than the value of the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest, a Fund will be obligated to deliver additional collateral to the buyer. If the buyer defaults on its commitment to sell back the securities, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the amount borrowed is less than the replacement cost of similar securities and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the reverse repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the buyer, a court could determine that the Fund’s interest in the amount borrowed is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to a Fund.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments —To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of 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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

The Income Builder Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), to certain qualified borrowers. Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Rising Dividend Growth Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Trust. The Government
64

7. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
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% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.
In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, GSAL will and BNYM may exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL or BNYM are unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL and/or BNYM will indemnify the Funds by paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The 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 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 April 30, 2019, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds, GSAL and BNYM received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2019, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, October 31, 2018, the Funds’ capital loss carryforwards on a tax basis were as follows:

As of April 30, 2019, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Income Builder | | | Rising Dividend Growth | |
Tax Cost | | $ | 1,509,526,458 | | | $ | 755,726,374 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 152,534,438 | | | | 160,686,406 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (32,983,920 | ) | | | (37,395,594 | ) |
Net unrealized gains (losses) | | $ | 119,550,518 | | | $ | 123,290,812 | |
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 contracts and foreign currency contracts, differences to the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, partnership investments, swap transactions, and modification of debt securities.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Funds invest. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody,
66
GOLDMAN SACHS DIVIDEND FOCUS FUNDS
|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.
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.
Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Funds will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Funds’ investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, 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.
Leverage Risk— Leverage creates exposure to potential gains and losses in excess of the initial amount invested. Borrowing and the use of derivatives may result in leverage and may make a Fund more volatile. When a Fund uses leverage, the sum of that Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. A Fund will identify liquid assets on its books or otherwise cover transactions that may give rise to such risk, to the extent required by applicable law. The use of leverage may cause a Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by a Fund can substantially increase the adverse impact to which the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.
Liquidity Risk— A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period 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. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.

9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Loan-Related Investments Risk— In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments, loan-related investments such as loan participations and assignments are subject to other risks. Although a loan obligation may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. Many loan investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. There is less readily available, reliable information about most loan investments than is the case for many other types of securities. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan obligation defaults. With respect to loan participations, the Fund may not always have direct recourse against a borrower if the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and/or interest; may be subject to greater delays, expenses and risks than if the Fund had purchased a direct obligation of the borrower; and may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower), subjecting the Fund to the creditworthiness of that lender as well. Investors in loans, such as the Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, although they may be entitled to certain contractual remedies. The market for loan obligations may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Because transactions in many loans are subject to extended trade settlement periods, the Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund’s redemption obligations for a period after the sale of the loans, and, as a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions, such as borrowing from its credit facility, if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.
Senior Loans hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, and are typically secured with specific collateral, but are nevertheless usually rated below investment grade. Because Second Lien Loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority of payment to Senior Loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Master Limited Partnership Risk— Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks, limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.
Short Position Risk — The Funds may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that the Funds may purchase for investment. Taking short positions involves leverage of the Funds’ assets and presents various risks, including counterparty risk. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which the Funds have taken a short position increases, then the Funds will incur a loss equal to the increase in value from the time that the short position was entered into plus any related interest payments or other fees. Taking short positions involves the risk that losses may be disproportionate, may exceed the amount invested, and may be unlimited. To the extent that the Funds use the proceeds they receive from a short position to take additional long positions, the risks associated with the short position, including leverage risks, may be heightened, because doing so increases the exposure of the Funds to the markets and therefore could magnify changes to the Funds’ NAV.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’s maximum

exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): 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.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2019 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service(12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365 day year.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher:

| * | | Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2019.

The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows: | |

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

GOLDMAN SACHS DOMESTIC EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
Enhancements Made to Proprietary Quantitative Model during theSix-Month Period Ended April 30, 2019
We continuously look for ways to improve our investment process. Accordingly, we introduced a number of enhancements to our proprietary quantitative model during thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).
Within our High Quality Business Models investment theme, we added a signal 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 help us better understand retailers’ earnings growth. In addition, we 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. Within our Sentiment Analysis investment theme, we enhanced our 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 have introduced a new machine learning algorithm to help classify sentiment.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Domestic Equity Insights Funds
Market Review
U.S. equities generated positive returns during thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), with Federal Reserve (“Fed”) monetary policy, economic growth expectations, corporate earnings results and geopolitics dominating market sentiment.
When the Reporting Period began in November 2018, U.S. equities gained following a volatile prior month. Trade and political uncertainty persisted, but U.S. stocks were buoyed by dovish comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and by seemingly encouraging progress towardChina-U.S. trade talks. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) The U.S. midterm elections on November 6th resulted in a divided government, as had been widely anticipated, with the Democrats gaining control of the House of Representatives and the Republicans maintaining their majority in the Senate. U.S. economic data remained strong, with Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growing at an annualized pace of 3.5% in the third quarter of 2018, following a 4.2% annualized GDP growth rate in the second calendar quarter. However, the rally was short-lived, as U.S. equities plunged in December 2018 on renewed investor fears, sparked by the arrest of a Chinese technology executive, a partial U.S. federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Powell.
U.S. equities rallied in January 2019, rebounding after a challenging and volatile 2018. The U.S. federal government shutdown and decelerating emerging markets demand were headwinds, but U.S. equities were supported by dovish Fed commentary, headlines of easing U.S.-China trade tensions and strong corporate earnings reports. The December 2018 labor market report was solid, with the U.S. economy adding 312,000 jobs, and the annualized growth rate in average hourly earnings reaching a cycle high of 3.2%. Other U.S. activity data were mixed. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing andnon-manufacturing indices declined to 54.1 and 57.6, respectively, in December 2018. Flash Purchasing Managers Indices data for January 2019 indicated growth stabilization in the U.S. but continued downward paths for other key advanced economies, such as Europe and Japan. Toward month end, U.S. equities were buoyed by a temporary end to the U.S. federal government shutdown. Also supportive was the Fed keeping its monetary policy unchanged at its January 2019 meeting and delivering dovish tilts, including the statement it will be “patient” as it determines “future adjustments” of interest rates and its description of inflationary pressures as “muted.”
The U.S. stock market continued to rally in February 2019, extending January’s gains. U.S. equities were buoyed by promising developments in U.S.-China trade talks, further indications of the Fed’s dovish stance and evidence of a solid U.S. economy. The U.S. equities market was primarily fixated on U.S.-China trade negotiations, and investors rallied around the headline that enough progress had been made to avert the increase in tariffs on Chinese goods that had been scheduled for March 1st. After confirming the shift in its thinking in January 2019 to prioritize “patience,” the Fed maintained its dovish stance by announcing its intention to maintain a larger balance sheet and therefore stop its quantitative tightening, or the shrinking of the Fed balance sheet as securities mature, by the end of the calendar year, a move that pushed longer-term yields down and pushed U.S. equity indices higher. The release of a fourth quarter 2018 GDP annualized growth rate of 2.6% illustrated that the U.S. economy was moderating but remained seemingly healthy. U.S. unemployment came in persistently at 4.05%, and private payrolls grew by 296,000 in January 2019, beating consensus expectations by 90,000.
In March 2019, U.S. equities recorded positive returns, driving double-digit gains for the first calendar quarter overall. Fed commentary provided a supportive background for U.S. equities, as Fed Chair Powell reiterated a “patient” approach to monetary policy that included a pause in interest rate hikes and a nearing end to its balance sheet runoff. The U.S. unemployment rate remained well below trend at 3.8% in February 2019, with a steady increase in wages of 3.4%

MARKET REVIEW
year-over-year. Housing data continued to show strength in the first calendar quarter, with new home sales reaching 667,000 in February 2019, bringing the three-month average up to 630,000. Strength in housing data seemed partially related to a steep decline in mortgage rates, resulting, in turn, from a more cautious Fed. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index was a point of significant strength in the U.S. economy, steadily climbing in each month of the first calendar quarter and eventually reaching 98.4 in March 2019, its highest level in six months. However, fourth quarter 2018 GDP growth was revised down 0.4% in March to a 2.2% annualized rate. While the revision was further evidence of a slowing U.S. economy, the result was largely priced in by U.S. equity markets and thus had limited effect on stock prices outside of the financials sector, which tends to be more rate sensitive.
During April 2019, U.S. equities extended their March gains, supported by a relatively accommodative Fed, consensus anticipation of a rebound in Chinese economic growth and widespread expectations of a resolution to trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. U.S. equities received additional support from a healthy start to the first quarter 2019 corporate earnings season. Consensus estimates had come down since the beginning of the calendar year, but a significant number of companies were able to deliver positive surprises. Within the broader economic backdrop, the U.S. labor market report for March 2019 eased near-term recession concerns, as the 196,000 payroll gain came in above consensus expectations. Year-over-year wage growth of 3.3% appeared high enough to support real wage growth and, by extension, consumption, without prompting fears at the Fed of rising inflationary pressures. The first estimate of first quarter 2019 GDP annualized growth was 3.2%, a signal the U.S. economy was still growing at an above-trend rate.
For the Reporting Period overall, the S&P 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) returned 9.76%, with all 11 of its sectors generating positive absolute returns. Consumer discretionary, information technology, real estate and industrials were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index. The weakest performing sectors in the S&P 500® Index were energy, health care, consumer staples and financials.
In terms of market capitalization, all segments posted solid positive absolute returns, but on a relative basis,mid-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® Index, performed best, followed closely bylarge-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, and then, at some distance, bysmall-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Index. From a style perspective, growth-oriented stocks significantly outpaced value-oriented stocks across the capitalization spectrum. (All as measured by the FTSE Russell indices.)
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe that less expensive stocks should outpace more expensive stocks. In addition, we expected stocks with good momentum to outperform those with poor momentum. We plan to focus on seeking companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive as well as profitable companies with sustainable earnings and a track record of using their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested, with long-term performance likely to be the result of stock selection rather than sector or capitalization allocations.
We stand behind our investment philosophy that sound economic investment principles, coupled with a disciplined quantitative approach, can provide strong, uncorrelated returns over the long term. Our research agenda is robust, and we continue to enhance our existing models, add new proprietary forecasting signals and improve our trading execution as we seek to provide the most value to our shareholders.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Growth Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.70%, 9.27%, 9.89%, 9.61%, 9.84%, 9.90%, 9.53% and 9.91%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.09% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a quantitative style of management, in combination with a qualitative overlay, that emphasizes fundamentally-based stock selection, careful portfolio construction and efficient implementation. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on certain investment themes, including Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index, with all four of our quantitative model’s investment themes detracting from performance. Stock selection driven by these investment themes hurt relative returns. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and four investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, all four of our investment themes — Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends — detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Fundamental Mispricings seeks to identify high quality businesses trading at a fair price, which we believe may lead to strong performance over the long run. High Quality Business Models seeks to identify companies that are generating high quality revenues with sustainable business models and aligned management incentives. Sentiment Analysis seeks to identify stocks experiencing improvements in their overall market sentiment. Market Themes & Trends seeks to identify companies positively positioned to benefit from themes and trends in the market and macroeconomic environment. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Fundamental Mispricings characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, stock selection hurt the Fund’s relative performance, highlighted by holdings in the health care, energy and materials sectors. On the other hand, the Fund benefited from stock selection in communication services. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hurt during the Reporting Period by overweight positions relative to the Index in HCA Healthcare, a health care facility operator; Humana, a health care insurance company; and Abiomed, a medical implant device manufacturer. The Fund’s overweight in all three stocks was predominantly due to our Sentiment Analysis and High Quality Business Models investment themes. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in technology company Apple and cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks. Both overweights were established largely because of our High Quality Business Models investment theme. In addition, the Fund’s underweight in tobacco maker Altria Group added to performance, a position driven by our Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends investment themes. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the financials, utilities, real estate and health care sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the consumer staples, communication services, industrials and information technology sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the consumer discretionary, energy and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 5.10%, 4.73%, 5.27%, 5.07%, 5.27%, 5.33%, 4.95% and 5.33%, respectively.

| | During the Reporting Period, stock selection detracted from the Fund’s relative performance, led by investments in the health care, energy and communication services sectors. Stock selection in two sectors — information technology and utilities — contributed positively to relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hampered by overweight positions relative to the Index in Conagra Brands, a packaged food company, and in Humana and Anthem, both health insurance companies. We decided to overweight Conagra Brands mainly because of our Market Themes & Trends and Sentiment Analysis investment themes. Overweight positions in Humana and Anthem were chosen largely due to our Sentiment Analysis and High Quality investment themes. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from underweight positions in CVS Health, a retail pharmacy chain and pharmacy benefit manager, and in Walgreens Boots Alliance, which owns pharmacy chains and a number of pharmaceutical manufacturing, wholesale and distribution companies. Our decision to underweight CVS Health added to relative returns, driven predominantly by our High Quality Business Models investment theme. The underweight in Walgreens Boots Alliance was established primarily due to our Market Themes & Trends and High Quality Business Models investment themes. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight compared to the Index in semiconductor maker NXP Semiconductors boosted relative performance, a position implemented largely as a result of our High Quality Business Models and Fundamental Mispricings investment themes. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the financials and utilities sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the consumer staples and communication services sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral in the health care, real estate, energy, materials, industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.15%, 3.80%, 4.36%, 4.14%, 4.33%, 4.39%, 4.04% and 4.38%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.06% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a quantitative style of management, in combination with a qualitative overlay, that emphasizes fundamentally-based stock selection, careful portfolio construction and efficient implementation. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on certain investment themes, including Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends. |
| | During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index, with all four of our quantitative model’s investment themes detracting from performance. Stock selection driven by these investment themes hurt relative returns. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and four investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| | During the Reporting Period, all four of our investment themes — Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends — detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Fundamental Mispricings seeks to identify high quality businesses trading at a fair price, which we believe may lead to strong performance over the long run. High Quality Business Models seeks to identify companies that are generating high quality revenues with sustainable business models and aligned management incentives. Sentiment Analysis seeks to identify stocks experiencing improvements in their overall market sentiment. Market Themes & Trends seeks to identify companies positively positioned to benefit from themes and trends in the market and macroeconomic environment. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Fundamental Mispricings characteristics than the Index. |
| | During the Reporting Period, stock selection hurt the Fund’s performance, with investments in the information technology, consumer staples and materials sectors detracting most. Holdings in the communication services, real estate and health care sectors added to the Fund’s relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hindered by its overweight positions compared to the Index in nutrition and weight loss company Medifast, fashion retailer Express and molecular diagnostic company Myriad Genetics. The overweight in Medifast was established primarily as a result of our High Quality Business Models and Sentiment Analysis investment themes. We chose to overweight the Fund’s position in Express primarily due to our Fundamental Mispricings and High Quality Business Models investment themes. Largely because of our Fundamental Mispricings and Market Themes & Trends investment themes, the Fund was overweight Myriad Genetics. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund was helped during the Reporting Period by its overweights in telecommunications companies Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group. The overweight in Sinclair Broadcast Group was established predominantly due to our High Quality Business Models investment theme. The overweight in Nexstar Media Group was driven by our Sentiment Analysis and High Quality Business Models investment themes. In addition, a modest underweight in biotechnology company Loxo Oncology contributed positively, a position implemented largely because of our Market Themes & Trends and Fundamental Mispricings investment themes. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the communication services and materials sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the information technology, health care, industrials and utilities sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral versus the Index in the financials, consumer discretionary, real estate, energy and consumer staples sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Growth Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 5.56%, 5.20%, 5.78%, 5.69%, 5.78%, 5.42% and 5.78%, respectively. These returns compare to the 8.27% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |

Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hurt by its overweight positions relative to the Index in nutrition and weight loss company Medifast, biopharmaceutical company Ligand Pharmaceuticals and cloud communications services provider Vonage Holdings. We chose to overweight Medifast due primarily to our High Quality Business Models investment theme. The Fund’s overweight in Ligand Pharmaceuticals was largely driven by our Fundamental Mispricings and Sentiment Analysis investment themes.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.29%, 2.95%, 3.48%, 3.42%, 3.50%, 3.15% and 3.48%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.77% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a quantitative style of management, in combination with a qualitative overlay, that emphasizes fundamentally-based stock selection, careful portfolio construction and efficient implementation. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on certain investment themes, including Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends. |
| | During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index. Collectively, our quantitative model’s four investment themes had a modestly negative impact on performance. The Fund was also hurt by certain individual stock positions based on our investment themes. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and four investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| | During the Reporting Period, three of our four investment themes — Sentiment Analysis, Fundamental Mispricings and Market Themes & Trends — added to relative returns. However, these results were offset by our High Quality Business Models investment theme, which had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. |
| | Sentiment Analysis seeks to identify stocks experiencing improvements in their overall market sentiment. Fundamental Mispricings seeks to identify high quality businesses trading at a fair price, which we believe may lead to strong performance over the long run. Market Themes & Trends seeks to identify companies positively positioned to benefit from themes and trends in the market and macroeconomic environment. High Quality Business Models seeks to identify companies that are generating high quality revenues with sustainable business models and aligned management incentives. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector allocations affect relative performance? |
A | | In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its |
25
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| sector and industry allocations and style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. |
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Fundamental Mispricings characteristics than the Index. |
| | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hampered by certain individual stock positions, with investments in the information technology, consumer staples and materials sectors detracting from relative returns. Holdings in the communication services, health care and real estate sectors bolstered the Fund’s relative performance. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual positions, the Fund was hurt by an underweight versus the Index in Cree, which makes lighting-class light emitting diodes (“LEDs”), lighting products and products for power and radio-frequency applications. The positioning was primarily driven by our High Quality Business Models and Fundamental Mispricings investment themes. An overweight in nutrition and weight loss company Medifast also dampened relative returns, a position largely based on our High Quality Business Models investment theme. The Fund’s overweight in food and beverage company Dean Foods diminished performance, a position implemented because of our Market Themes & Trends, Fundamental Mispricings and High Quality Business Models investment themes. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from its overweight positions in telecommunications companies Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group as well as in Fabrinet, a provider of optical packaging and precision optical, electro-mechanical and electronic manufacturing services. The overweight in Sinclair Broadcast Group was due primarily to our High Quality Business Models investment theme. Our Sentiment Analysis and High Quality Business Models investment themes mainly fueled the Fund’s overweights in Nexstar Media Group and Fabrinet. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What was the Fund’s sector positioning relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight the materials, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors relative to the Index. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the financials, information technology, industrials and utilities sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the health care, energy, consumer staples and real estate sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). 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 R6Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 6.65%, 6.30%, 6.86%, 6.61%, 6.78%, 6.87%, 6.54% and 6.84%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.76% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |

The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on certain investment themes, including Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index, with all four of our quantitative model’s investment themes detracting from results. Stock selection driven by these investment themes diminished relative performance. |

| During the Reporting Period, stock selection hampered the Fund’s performance, with investments in the health care sector detracting most. Holdings in the energy, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors also had a negative impact on relative returns. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from stock selection in information technology and, to a lesser extent, utilities. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hindered by overweight positions relative to the Index in packaged food company Conagra Brands, health insurer Anthem and energy company ConocoPhilips. The overweight in Conagra Brands was largely due to our Market Themes & Trends and Sentiment Analysis investment themes. The Fund’s overweight in Anthem was driven by our Sentiment Analysis and High Quality Business Models investment themes. Mainly because of our High Quality Business Models investment theme, the Fund was overweight ConocoPhillips. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was aided by overweight positions in technology company Apple, cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks and fast casual restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill. The overweights in Apple and Chipotle Mexican Grill were established primarily because of our High Quality Business Models investment theme. The Fund was overweight Palo Alto Networks due to our Market Themes & Trends, High Quality Business Models and Sentiment Analysis investment themes. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts.

Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the consumer staples and communication services sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the consumer discretionary, health care, energy, materials, industrials and information technology sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
|
As of April 30, 2019 |
| 6 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from the percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”), however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 0.0% of the Fund’s net assets as of April 30, 2019. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
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 |
Large Cap Growth Insights, Large Cap Value Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights and U.S. Equity Insights | | A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, P, R and R6 | | Diversified |
Small Cap Growth Insights and Small Cap Value Insights | | A, C, Institutional, Investor, P, R and R6 | | Diversified |
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, 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 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies 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 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/Pain |
Large Cap Value Insights | | | | Quarterly | | Annually |
Large Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Equity Insights, Small Cap Growth Insights, Small Cap Value Insights and U.S. Equity Insights | | | | Annually | | Annually |
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from 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.

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts.Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
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 and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value OTC and centrally cleared derivatives depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.
i. Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security. 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.
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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets are 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 2019, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 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 period ended April 30, 2019, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 30, 2019 the facility was $770,000,000.

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

of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the 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% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Government Money Market Fund.
In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, GSAL will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the replacement securities. If GSAL is unable to purchase replacement securities, GSAL will indemnify the Funds by paying an amount equal to the market value of the securities loaned minus the value of cash collateral received from the borrower for the loan, subject to an exclusion for any shortfalls resulting from a loss of value in such cash collateral due to reinvestment risk. The Funds may enter into master netting agreements with borrowers, which provide the right, in the event of a default (including bankruptcy or insolvency), for thenon-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 ofset-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 April 30, 2019, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Large Cap Value Insights Fund did not have securities on loan as of April 30, 2019.
Both the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2019, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
April 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
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 Custody Risk — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use 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.
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. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Period Ended April 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service(12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, which represents a period of 181 days in a 365 day year. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.
Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher:

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Funds
Market Review
Emerging markets equities rallied during thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”). The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EM Index”) posted a return of 13.76%.* Emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets equities on a relative basis, as measured by the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index, which returned 7.45% for the same time period.*
Following a challenging October 2018, emerging markets equities saw a brief reprieve as the Reporting Period began in November 2018 on dovish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Jerome Powell, an accommodative stance by Chinese policymakers toward the private corporate sector and seemingly encouraging progress towardChina-U.S. trade talks. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) However, the relief rally proved short-lived, as investors were unnerved in December 2018 by the arrest of Chinese technology executive, a partial U.S. federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Powell. Equities globally also fell sharply on trade war escalations between the U.S. and China as well as on political uncertainty — and in a delayed response to an earliersell-off in global rates. Though posting negative absolute returns, emerging market equities outperformed their developed markets counterparts on a relative basis both for the month of December and for the fourth calendar quarter overall.
The U.S. federal government shutdown and decelerating emerging market demand were headwinds in January 2019, but emerging markets equities were buoyed by easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China as well by a dovish U.S. Fed. China’s fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) grew at a 6.4% year-over-year rate, in line with consensus expectations, and its industrial production for December 2018 beat consensus expectations at a 5.7% year-over-year growth rate. However, growth in Chinese exports and imports declined 4.4% and 7.6% year over year, respectively, in December 2018, below consensus expectations for a 2% and 4.5% increase, respectively. Consistent with tariff measures, U.S.-bound exports from China showed the sharpest deceleration. That said, headlines pointed to promising progress toward U.S.-China trade talks. Latin American equities outperformed broader emerging markets equities in January 2019, led by Brazil, where sentiment was boosted by the inauguration of its new government. Indian equities underperformed the MSCI EM Index, facing deteriorating sentiment from a mixed corporate earnings season, uncertainty from then-upcoming elections there and its budget, a weaker macroeconomic backdrop and concerns about corporate governance.
The MSCI EM Index gained 0.22% in February 2019, taking a pause after an 8.76% rally in January 2019.* However, some countries remained in full sprint, reminding investors of the sector’s high degree of heterogeneity, or diversity. China’s equity market, in particular, continued its strong performance, outperforming the MSCI EM Index and the MSCI EAFE Index by 320 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The Chinese equity market benefited from seeming progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations, faster than consensus expected policy easing and positive corporate earnings results. Corporate earnings, in general, with a significant share of emerging markets companies having reported, were another cue for investors not to tar the whole of emerging markets with the same brush. While the emerging markets saw some downward revisions at the aggregate level in the first two months of 2019, China, Brazil and India kept showing attractive earnings per share growth estimates for 2019. However, despite solid fundamentals, Indian equities were still held back by uncertainty around then-upcoming elections and concerns about corporate governance.

MARKET REVIEW
The MSCI EM Index gained 0.84% in March 2019*. After a challenging 2018, emerging markets equities moved into positive territory during the first quarter of 2019, as three major headwinds subsided. First, on trade, markets perceived progressing negotiations between the U.S. and China as constructive, decreasing some of the volatility previously caused by tariff uncertainty. Subsequently, China’s equity market regained some of the trade-related losses from the prior calendar year, with the MSCI China Index outperforming the MSCI EM Index by 778 basis pointsyear-to-date through March 2019. Second, financial conditions became more supportive, with the Fed taking a pause in its interest rate hiking cycle. Third, macroeconomic data releases showed emerging markets GDP growth returning to above-trend levels, while some developed markets countries saw their economic growth forecasts revised downwards, though symptoms of a possible recession in the U.S. and other developed markets countries remained scarce. The healthy macroeconomic diagnosis for emerging markets generally was complemented by solid fundamentals, as markets expected 2019 earnings in the emerging markets to grow more than twice as much as in the U.S.1 Despite the broader recovery, investors remained cautious about Indian equities, with its general elections scheduled to commence in April 2019. Investors also remained cautious around Turkish markets, which were rattled by the overall economic downturn and by municipal elections at the end of March 2019.
The MSCI EM Index gained 2.11% in April 2019, bringing totalyear-to-date returns to 12.23%*. Emerging markets equities continued trending upwards, underpinned by robust fundamentals and supportive financial conditions, as the Fed maintained its pause in increasing U.S. interest rates. Positive surprises on released macroeconomic data further drove emerging markets corporate earnings growth consensus expectations, forecasting emerging markets to outpace both the U.S. and developed markets in 2019 and 2020. Indeed, markets expected 2019 earnings in the emerging markets to grow more than twice that of the U.S. Also, valuations stayed below their historical averages, and emerging markets equities ended the month trading at a steep 28% discount to U.S. equities and at a 22% discount to developed markets equities, respectively.2 Investors stayed cautious about Indian equities, as its general elections got underway, scheduled to come to a close in late May 2019. Brazil also caused some concern for investors, with its political climate drawing some attention after reports of disagreements between its President and its House Speaker.
For the Reporting Period as a whole, consumer discretionary, real estate and communication services were the strongest sectors in the MSCI EM Index during the Reporting Period. Still posting positive absolute returns but lagging the MSCI EM Index most during the Reporting Period were the health care, materials and energy sectors.
From a country perspective, Egypt was the best performing individual constituent of the MSCI EM Index for the Reporting Period, followed by South Africa, China, Indonesia and India, each of which posted a robust double-digit absolute gain. Conversely, Pakistan was by far the weakest individual country constituent of the MSCI EM Index, posting a double-digit decline during the Reporting Period, followed by Malaysia, which generated a more modest decline during the Reporting Period. Turkey, the Czech Republic and Chile eked out modestly positive returns but were also among the weakest constituents of the MSCI EM Index during the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed equities as the most favorable asset class, offering reasonable valuations relative to solid macroeconomic and corporate fundamentals, in our opinion. After a significant repricing of assets and market expectations in the fourth quarter of 2018, the first four months of 2019 saw a sharp recovery, as investor fears abated. Specifically, the geopolitical landscape, trade relations and monetary policy showed signs of improvement, easing earlier concerns. While we were encouraged by the strong start to 2019, we did expect at the end of the Reporting Period to see more signals of an aging cycle as the calendar year progresses, which may be challenging to navigate and require even more selectivity. Yet without clearer indications of deteriorating fundamentals, we believed it was too early to position for a downturn in global economic growth or in corporate earnings.
We remained constructive at the end of the Reporting Period on emerging markets equities given what we view as robust fundamentals, with emerging markets corporate earnings growth forecasted to outstrip that of international developed markets and of the U.S. in 2019. It appears to us that almost all of the underperformance of emerging markets equities in 2018 was driven by a decline in the valuation due to a shift in sentiment, with the residual coming from the depreciation of emerging markets currencies against the U.S. dollar, while earnings were a positive contributor. Additionally, we expect a continuation of multi-year cyclical earnings recovery given the seemingly solid fundamental picture outside of specific countries. This is important, in our opinion, as corporate earnings have been the primary driver of emerging markets equity performance over the long term, significantly eclipsing the impact of dividends, valuation and currency.3
The emerging markets remain a largely domestic-facing universe, where many countries are somewhat insulated from escalating trade tensions. In aggregate, emerging markets companies derive only 7% of their total revenue from the U.S.4 In addition, emerging markets equities have historically outperformed developed markets equities in previous Fed rate hiking cycles.5 Finally, contrary to concerns about U.S. dollar strength, currency has had a limited impact on emerging markets equity returns during the last 15 years, while corporate earnings dominate returns over the medium to long term.6
As always, we maintain our focus on seeking high-quality equity investments trading at compelling valuations and intend to stay true to our long-term discipline as we seek to navigate potentially volatile markets ahead.
Please note that effective 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. These changes were implemented in the MSCI Equity Indexes in one step as part of its November 2018 Semi-Annual Index Review.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Asia ex Japan Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Asia Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 18.43%, 18.00%, 18.67% 18.59%, 18.67% and 18.66%, respectively. These returns compare to the 16.34% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asiaex-Japan Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same time period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund outperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period, primarily attributable to individual stock selection. From a country perspective, stock selection in China/Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results. Having underweights to the comparatively weaker performing Taiwan and Malaysia equity markets also boosted the Fund’s relative performance. Only partially offsetting these positive contributors was stock selection in India and allocation positioning in both India and Thailand, which detracted from the Fund’s relative results most. Having a position, albeit modest, in cash also dampened relative results during a Reporting Period when the Index posted a double-digit positive return. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The Fund benefited most relative to the Index from holdings in Kweichow Moutai, AIA Group and Dalmia Bharat. |
| Within the consumer discretionary sector, the Fund’s overweight position in Kweichow Moutai was the strongest positive contributor to relative results. Kweichow Moutai is the largest Chinese hard liquor maker positioned at the premium end of the market. Its stock outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, as the company reported a strong set of preliminary fiscal year 2018 results, demonstrating its resilience during the economic slowdown in China. The company is undergoing a reorganization of channels, which could enhance, in our view, its operating profitability as well as its corporate governance. These measures were well received by investors during the Reporting Period despite a potential transitional operating softness during the first several months of 2019. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained the Fund’s overweight position in the stock and believed Kweichow Moutai would resume its rather steady growth path in the second half of 2019 after the anticipated completion of its reorganization process. |
| AIA Group is a Hong Kong-based insurance and financial services company. We maintained an overweight position in the Fund in AIA Group because we liked what we saw as its well diversified Asian footprint and strong management. During the Reporting Period, its onshore China business showed sustained growth momentum with a premium agent model targeting high end customers. In our view, its growth opportunity was enhanced by its recent opening of additional China provinces for the firm. Further, its cross-border business between Hong Kong and Southeast Asia local businesses was improving, in our opinion, with an expanded distribution network and better margins, reinforcing its positive earnings and value creation outlook for the medium term. The company delivered fourth quarter 2018 results above market expectations, driven by what investors saw as its solid fundamentals. |
| The Fund’sout-of-Index position in Dalmia Bharat, an India-based cement manufacturer, also contributed positively to relative results, as it outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period. Its stock was volatile and corrected in the |

| first quarter of 2019 after it reported a weak set of quarterly results. Also, in March 2019, the company reported a case of fraud in its treasury. The company alleged that its depository participant had fraudulently transferred mutual fund units from the company’s account to his account, thereby raising expectations of a probable corporate governance issue. However, Dalmia Bharat’s stock recovered in April 2019 after investor concerns were pacified by the realization that it appeared to be a case of individual fraud instead of a governance misdeed. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Index were positions in Ctrip.com International, Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Geely Automobile Holdings. |
| The Fund’s underweight position in Ctrip.com International, a China-based online travel agency services provider, detracted most from its relative results during the Reporting Period. We had sold the Fund’s position in Ctrip.com International after it released third quarter 2018 results largely in line with market expectations and guidance for the fourth quarter of 2018 that appeared to us to be on the weaker side, especially for its margins. The company started to invest to gain more market share with younger customers and lower-tier cities. We expected these short-term investments to hinder its margin recovery process and sold the position. Its stock price, however, subsequently recovered, as the company released better results with improved margins for the fourth quarter of 2018 and guidance for the first quarter of 2019 that was better than the market expected. Such results gave investors confidence in the company’s recovery, supported by easingChina-U.S. trade talks in the first quarter of 2019, which drove the overall global equity market recovery as well. |
| Within the information technology sector, the Fund’s overweight position in Samsung Electro-Mechanics, a South Korea-based manufacturer of a variety of electronic components, detracted from relative results during the Reporting Period. Its stock underperformed the Index due to a correction in the broader information technology sector as well as weak performance by the company and its peers. Though we trimmed the Fund’s position in the stock, we maintained an overweight position relative to the Index, as we continued to believe at the end of the Reporting Period that the company was on track to perform well, especially on consensus margin expectations. |
| The Fund’s overweight position in Geely Automobile Holdings, a China-based passenger vehicle manufacturer, detracted from relative results during the Reporting Period. The company had a mixed year in 2018, when after strong momentum in the first half of the calendar year, it demonstrated signs of vulnerability, as the economic slowdown in China worsened during the second half of 2018. While we maintained confidence in the company’s medium-term competitiveness, we believed the ongoing economic slowdown in China could impact the company’s main markets, especially in the country’slow-tier cities. We opted to exit the Fund’s position in Geely Automobile Holdings by the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index were financials, consumer staples and information technology, where stock selection in each boosted relative results. At an individual stock level, positions in AIA Group and Kweichow Moutai, each mentioned earlier, boosted results most in financials and consumer staples, respectively. In information technology, having no exposure to Baidu, a China-based Internet search engine, helped most, as its stock performed poorly during the Reporting Period. We had sold the Fund’s position in Baidu during the first quarter of 2018 due to our concerns about its business outlook. During the Reporting Period, the company was losing market share in the online advertising market given heightened competition. |
| Only two sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period — consumer discretionary and real estate. In consumer discretionary, the Fund’s position in Ctrip.com International, mentioned earlier, detracted most. In real estate, having a significant underweight to this strongly performing sector dampened relative results most. China/Hong Kong real estate securities comprise the vast majority of the overall average 6.3% weight of the sector in the Index. During much of the second half of 2018, the Chinese property sector was under pressure as a result of a sales slowdown amongtier-two to tier-four cities in China following months of tighter credit and slower economic momentum. Also, during the first two months of 2019, especially in January and during the festive Chinese New Year season, housing sales had been on the weaker side for the overall industry. However, the broader China/Hong Kong-listed real estate companies performed stronger |

| thereafter given widely anticipated alleviation of theU.S.-China trade war, fiscal and credit stimulus by the Chinese government and pockets of policy loosening the country, including a mortgage rate cut by a small number of Chinese banks in select cities. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in Axis Bank within the financials sector. Axis Bank is the third largest private bank in India in terms of loans and profitability but had been struggling due to corporate loan quality issues, with its earnings being impacted by loan loss provisions. (A loan loss provision is an expense set aside as an allowance for uncollected loans and loan payments. This provision is used to cover a number of factors associated with potential loan losses, including bad loans, customer defaults, and renegotiated terms of a loan that incur lower than previously estimated payments.) We established the Fund position based on our expectations for the asset quality cycle to bottom out and for management changes at the bank in the near term. We also viewed Axis Bank as a strong liability franchise trading at what we considered to be attractive valuations. |
| We established a Fund position in Silverlake Axis within the information technology sector in Singapore. The company provides digital solutions and services to the banking, insurance and payment industries. The banking industry in Singapore had experienced a slowdown of capital expenditures in core banking products since 2016, and it was only during the last few months of the Reporting Period that we witnessed a reversal of this trend. In our view, Silverlake Axis has been able to rebuild its order backlog, as banks, beginning in the early months of 2019, seem to be avoiding delay in upgrading their core banking systems and introducing new digital initiatives. We initiated the position, as we expect the company’s order backlog to help grow its business. |
| Conversely, in addition to those sales already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in British American Tobacco Malaysia within the consumer staples sector. Following therun-up in its stock price during the Reporting Period, we saw the risk/reward balance of an investment in its stock as a bit less attractive. Despite the Malaysian government stepping up law enforcement to curb an illicit tobacco trade there, including conducting an increased number of checks, there was, at the end of the Reporting Period, no significant declines in the business of illicit cigarettes. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Most sector weights are usually established within a relatively narrow range from the Index, as our team prefers to make decisions at the individual stock level, where we believe we can generate more added value. That said, during the Reporting Period, relative to the Index, the Fund’s exposure to financials and communication services increased, and its allocations to consumer discretionary and information technology decreased. |
| Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. During the Reporting Period, relative to the Index, the Fund’s allocations to China/Hong Kong and Indonesia increased, and its exposures to South Korea and Thailand decreased. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Kevin Ohn, managing director and portfolio manager for the Fund since 2013 retired from the firm at the end of March 2019. Basak Yavuz and Hiren Dasani,co-heads of Emerging Markets Equity, and Sumit Mangal, vice president on the Emerging Markets Equity team, assumed Kevin’s portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund effective the same date. Basak and Hiren have deep expertise investing across the emerging market equities universe, with 19 and 18 years of industry experience, respectively. Sumit has 14 years of industry experience. Additionally, Seong Kook Jung had been a portfolio manager for the Fund since 2016. Effective March 31, 2019, he no longer had portfolio management responsibilities for the Fund, but maintained his sector research responsibilities for the strategy. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweighted exposure to India and held anout-of-Index allocation in Vietnam. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted exposure relative to the Index to Taiwan, China/Hong Kong and Malaysia. The Fund was rather neutrally weighted relative to the Index in Indonesia, South |

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

| 2 | | The MSCI® All Country Asia ex-Japan Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of Asia, excluding Japan. As of April 30, 2019, the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index consisted of the following 11 developed and emerging market country indices: China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. The series of returns reflected by the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI Barra uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |

They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 17.10%, 16.62%, 17.27%, 16.98%, 17.22%, 17.24% and 17.29%, respectively. These returns compare to the 13.76% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund outperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period, primarily attributable to individual stock selection. From a country perspective, effective stock selection in China, Brazil and Taiwan contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance. These positive contributors were only partially offset by stock selection in South Africa and United Arab Emirates, which detracted. Having anout-of-Index exposure to Romania, which significantly underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. The Fund’s relative results were further dampened by having an exposure, albeit modest, to cash during a Reporting Period when the Index posted a double-digit positive return. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were Kweichow Moutai, AIA Group and Win Semiconductors. |
| | Within the consumer discretionary sector, the Fund’s overweight position in Kweichow Moutai was the strongest positive contributor to relative results. Kweichow Moutai is the largest Chinese hard liquor maker positioned at the premium end of the market. Its stock outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, as the company reported a strong set of preliminary fiscal year 2018 results, demonstrating its resilience during the economic slowdown in China. The company is undergoing a reorganization of channels, which could enhance, in our view, its operating profitability as well as its corporate governance. These measures were well received by investors during the Reporting Period despite a potential transitional operating softness during the first several months of 2019. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained the Fund’s overweight position in the stock and believed Kweichow Moutai would resume its rather steady growth path in the second half of 2019 after the anticipated completion of its reorganization process. |
| | AIA Group is a Hong Kong-based insurance and financial services company. We maintained an overweight position in the Fund in AIA Group because we liked what we saw as its well diversified Asian footprint and strong management. During the Reporting Period, its onshore China business showed sustained growth momentum with a premium agent model targeting high end customers. In our view, its growth opportunity was enhanced by its recent opening of additional China provinces for the firm. Further, its cross-border business between Hong Kong and Southeast Asia local businesses was improving, in our opinion, with an expanded distribution network and better margins, reinforcing its positive earnings and value creation outlook for the medium term. The company delivered fourth quarter 2018 results above market expectations, driven by what investors saw as its solid fundamentals. |
| | Win Semiconductors is a Taiwan-based firm, whose line of business includes the manufacturing of semiconductors and related solid-state devices. The company benefited during the Reporting Period from posting better than market expected |

| orders for its radio frequency, or RF, power components due to demand from early stage fifth-generation network infrastructure and Huawei Technologies’ orderpull-in. Huawei Technologies is a major China-based communications equipment firm. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Index were positions in NMC Health, Geely Automobile Holdings and Hankook Tire. |
| | NMC Health is a diversified health care company based in the United Arab Emirates. Its stock declined during the Reporting Period, as the hospital sector in Europe, where most of the company’s investors are located, did not perform well. Also, the company’s high financial leverage was out of favor during the Reporting Period. |
| | The Fund’s overweight position in Geely Automobile Holdings, a China-based passenger vehicle manufacturer, detracted from relative results during the Reporting Period. The company had a mixed year in 2018, when after strong momentum in the first half of the calendar year, it demonstrated signs of vulnerability, as the economic slowdown in China worsened during the second half of 2018. While we maintained confidence in the company’s medium-term competitiveness, we believed the ongoing economic slowdown in China could impact the company’s main markets, especially in the country’slow-tier cities. We opted to exit the Fund’s position in Geely Automobile Holdings by the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | Hankook Tire is a South-Korea-based developer and manufacturer of radial tires for passenger cars, light trucks, trucks and buses. The company also produces batteries and aluminum alloy wheels. Its shares declined during the Reporting Period on the back of persistent concerns about trade tariffs impacting its business. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Index, strong stock selection within the financials, consumer staples and communication services sectors contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance. Conversely, weak stock selection in consumer discretionary and health care detracted most from the Fund’s relative results. Having an underweight to real estate, which outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, and an overweight to health care, which lagged the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of our active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We initiated a Fund position in Axis Bank within the financials sector. Axis Bank is the third largest private bank in India in terms of loans and profitability but had been struggling due to corporate loan quality issues, with its earnings being impacted by loan loss provisions. (A loan loss provision is an expense set aside as an allowance for uncollected loans and loan payments. This provision is used to cover a number of factors associated with potential loan losses, including bad loans, customer defaults, and renegotiated terms of a loan that incur lower than previously estimated payments.) We established the Fund position based on our expectations for the asset quality cycle to bottom out and for management changes at the bank in the near term. We also viewed Axis Bank as a strong liability franchise trading at what we considered to be attractive valuations. |
| | We established a Fund position in Shanghai International Airport, the owner and operator of Pudong International Airport, the second busiest airport in China. It has the highest proportion of international passenger traffic of any major Chinese airport. In our view, the revenue and profit growth of the company can remain solid, driven by the duty-free business. |
| | We initiated a Fund position in Techtronic Industries, a Hong Kong-based global power equipment and floor care company. The company delivered record sales and net profits for the ninth consecutive quarter during the Reporting Period. We believe this is a result of a strategic foundation of research and development, innovation, ongoing operational improvement and a powerful brand portfolio — the combination of which we expect to help the company grow moving ahead, with the potential to expand its market further with new product launches. We further believe the company can improve its gross margin owing to what we see as a better product mix than its competitors and strong supply management. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of Geely Automobile Holdings, already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in Grupo Financiero Banorte, a financial institution in Mexico. The company’s merger with Banco Interacciones, another Mexican bank, has resulted in higher industry and borrower concentration for the bank and will add, in our opinion, to the challenges related to its expansion into riskier asset classes. |
| | We sold the Fund’s position in Ctrip.com International, a China-based online travel agency services provider. We sold the Fund’s position in Ctrip.com International after it released third quarter 2018 results largely in line with market expectations and guidance for the fourth quarter of 2018 that appeared to us to be on the weaker side, especially for its margins. The company started to invest to gain more market share with younger customers and lower-tier cities. However, we expected these short-term investments to hinder its margin recovery process and sold the position. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Fund weightings at a sector level are driven bybottom-up stock selection. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index to consumer staples and communication services increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to information technology and consumer discretionary decreased. |
| | Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. As such, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index in China increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to South Africa and Russia decreased. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweighted exposure to China, India and Peru and underweighted exposure to Taiwan, South Africa, Malaysia and Thailand relative to the Index. On the same date, the Fund was relatively neutrally weighted to the Index in the remaining components of the Index, with the exceptions of Chile, Qatar, Hungary and Pakistan, where the Fund had no exposure at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund also had exposure to several equity markets that are not components of the Index, including Vietnam and Georgia. |
| | From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweighted positions relative to the Index in financials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Index in the energy, real estate, materials and communication services sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had rather neutral exposure to the information technology, health care and industrials sectors and no allocation to the utilities sector at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs ESG Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 17.43%, 17.08%, 17.70%, 17.60%, 17.38% and 17.71%, respectively. These returns compare to the 13.76% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund outperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period, primarily attributable to individual stock selection. From a country perspective, effective stock selection in China, Brazil and Taiwan contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative performance. These positive contributors were only partially offset by weaker stock selection in South Africa, Mexico and United Arab Emirates, which detracted. The Fund’s relative results were further dampened by having an exposure, albeit modest, to cash during a Reporting Period when the Index posted a double-digit positive return. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were AIA Group, Tencent Holdings and Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing. |
| | AIA Group is a Hong Kong-based insurance and financial services company. We maintained an overweight position in the Fund in AIA Group because we liked what we saw as its well diversified Asian footprint and strong management. During the Reporting Period, its onshore China business showed sustained growth momentum with a premium agent model targeting high end customers. In our view, its growth opportunity was enhanced by its recent opening of additional China provinces for the firm. Further, its cross-border business between Hong Kong and Southeast Asia local businesses was improving, in our opinion, with expanded distribution network and better margins, reinforcing its positive earnings and value creation outlook for the medium term. The company delivered fourth quarter 2018 results above market expectations, driven by what investors saw as its solid fundamentals. |
| | A China-based company, Tencent Holdings, through its subsidiaries, provides Internet and mobile value-added services, online advertising ande-commerce transactions. A significant detractor during the Fund’s prior Reporting Period, its shares rebounded and gained during the Reporting Period, as the reopening of game monetization led to growth in the gaming market and advertising revenues. |
| | Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing owns and operates the stock exchange, futures exchange and their related clearing houses in Hong Kong. The company provides the trading platforms for a range of cash and derivatives products and the facilities for processing trades. Its shares posted positive returns during the Reporting Period, as investors favored its high profit margins, natural entry barriers and strong management. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among those stocks detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Index were positions in NMC Health, Alsea SAB de CV and Geely Automobile Holdings. |
| | NMC Health is a diversified health care company based in the United Arab Emirates. Its stock declined during the Reporting Period, as the hospital sector in Europe, where most of the company’s investors are located, did not perform |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| well. Also, the company’s high financial leverage was out of favor during the Reporting Period. |
| | Alsea SAB de CV, based in Mexico, is a multi-brand operator in Latin America, operating brands from the fast food, cafeteria and casual dining segments. Factors contributing to its stock’s price decline during the Reporting Period include below market expected fourth quarter 2018 results, slower operating performance and concerns regarding Mexico’s and Spain’s economic growth. |
| | The Fund’s overweight position in Geely Automobile Holdings, a China-based passenger vehicle manufacturer, detracted from relative results during the Reporting Period. The company had a mixed year in 2018, when after strong momentum in the first half of the calendar year, it demonstrated signs of vulnerability, as the economic slowdown in China worsened during the second half of 2018. While we maintained confidence in the company’s medium-term competitiveness, we believed the ongoing economic slowdown in China could impact the company’s main markets, especially in the country’slow-tier cities. We opted to exit the Fund’s position in Geely Automobile Holdings by the end of the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Index, strong stock selection in financials and communication services contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results. Having an underweighted allocation to energy, which underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, also boosted the Fund’s relative results. |
| | Conversely, weak stock selection in consumer discretionary and health care detracted most from the Fund’s relative results. Having no exposure to real estate, which significantly outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we did not use derivatives as part of our active management strategy. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We established a Fund position in Shanghai International Airport, the owner and operator of Pudong International Airport, the second busiest airport in China. It has the highest proportion of international passenger traffic of any major Chinese airport. In our view, the revenue and profit growth of the company can remain solid, driven by the duty-free business. |
| | We initiated a Fund position in Techtronic Industries, a Hong Kong-based global power equipment and floor care company. The company delivered record sales and net profits for the ninth consecutive quarter during the Reporting Period. We believe this is a result of a strategic foundation of research and development, innovation, ongoing operational improvement and a powerful brand portfolio — the combination of which we expect to help the company grow moving ahead, with the potential to expand its market further with new product launches. We further believe the company can improve its gross margin owing to what we see as a better product mix than its competitors and strong supply management. |
| | Conversely, in addition to the sale of Geely Automobile Holdings, already mentioned, we eliminated the Fund’s position in Grupo Financiero Banorte, a financial institution in Mexico. The company’s merger with Banco Interacciones, another Mexican bank, has resulted in higher industry and borrower concentration for the bank and will add, in our opinion, to the challenges related to its expansion into riskier asset classes. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Fund weightings at a sector level are driven bybottom-up stock selection. Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index to communication services and energy increased, and its allocations relative to the Index to information technology and financials decreased. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had overweighted exposures to China, India, Peru and Brazil and underweighted exposures to Taiwan, South Africa, Mexico, Thailand and South Korea relative to the Index. On the same date, the Fund was relatively neutrally weighted to the Index in the remaining components of the Index, with the exceptions of Chile, Qatar, Hungary and Pakistan, where the Fund had no exposure at all. |
| | From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had an overweighted position relative to the Index in financials at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had underweighted positions compared to the Index in the materials, industrials, consumer staples and communication services sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had rather neutral exposure to the consumer discretionary, information technology and health care sectors and no allocations to the utilities and real estate sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | We remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman SachsN-11 Equity Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 10.73%, 10.34%, 10.89%, 10.86%, 11.03% and 10.87%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.91% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Next 11ex-Iran GDP Weighted Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund outperformed the Index on a relative basis during the Reporting Period, primarily attributable to individual stock selection. The Fund’s effective stock selection in Indonesia and Mexico contributed most positively. Having no exposure to Nigeria, the second weakest performing constituent of the Index during the Reporting Period, also helped. Such positive contributors were partially offset by weaker stock selection in Bangladesh, the only constituent of the Index to detract from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s relative results were further dampened by having an exposure, albeit modest, to cash during a Reporting Period when the Index posted a solid positive return. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period were positions in the financials sector — Bank Central Asia, Bolsa Mexicana de Valores and Ayala Land. |
| Bank Central Asia is the largest bank in Indonesia. During the Reporting Period, its shares gained, reflecting its reports |
| of a strong return on equity as well as solid balance sheet performance. |
| Bolsa Mexicana de Valores operates full service cash and derivatives exchanges, with equities and fixed income securities listings, in Mexico. The company offers fully electronic platforms for cash equities, financial derivatives andover-the-counter fixed income and derivatives. During the Reporting Period, it was announced Mexico will cut the tax rate paid by companies on the proceeds of initial public offerings to 10% as part of a broad-ranging plan to boost public offerings and spur growth in the financial system. Many investors believed cutting the tax from the current 35% would encourage entrepreneurs to finance themselves through the stock market, providing significant potential benefit to this major stock exchange in Mexico. |
| Ayala Land is a Philippines-based company that develops and invests in real estate properties. The company also operates hotels and provides property management services. During the Reporting Period, investors favored the company’s growth plans put in place to supportpre-sales momentum. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Detracting most from the Fund’s results relative to the Index were Bank Rakyat Indonesia Persero, Grupo Financiero Banorte and Aygaz. |
| Bank Rakyat Indonesia Persero, based in Indonesia, provides commercial banking activities and its related services. During the Reporting Period, the company recorded slightly lower than market anticipated net profits for the first quarter of 2019. Also, itspre-provision operating profit came in weaker than the market expected.(Pre-provision operating profit is the amount of income a bank or similar type of financial institution earns in a given time period, before |
24
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| taking into account funds set aside to provide for future bad debts.) |
| Grupo Financiero Banorte is a financial institution in Mexico. During the Reporting Period, the company posted a below market estimate recurring net income along with a higher than market anticipated insurance operating loss. While we maintained the position in the Fund at the end of the Reporting Period, the company’s merger with Banco Interacciones, another Mexican bank, has resulted in higher industry and borrower concentration for the bank and will add, in our opinion, to the challenges related to its expansion into riskier asset classes, and thus we are monitoring the position closely for any potential deterioration in its fundamentals. |
| Aygaz, based in Turkey, purchases from local refineries and distributes liquified propane gas. The company also markets plastifiers, alcohols, solvents, aromatic hydrocarbons and general purpose plastics. During the Reporting Period, its share price declined, as the company faced key risks regarding unfavorable currency moves, loss of market share and a lower dividend payout. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Relative to the Index, effective stock selection in the financials, materials and communication services sectors contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance. Having an overweighted allocation to financials, which outpaced the Index during the Reporting Period, and an underweighted allocation to communication services, which lagged the Index during the Reporting Period, also helped. Conversely, weaker stock selection in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance. Having an underweighted allocation to the real estate sector, which significantly outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, also hurt. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we initiated a Fund position in Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi, a Turkish commercial bank. It |
| engages in providing banking and financial services and operates through the following segments — retail banking, corporate and commercial banking and private banking and wealth management. We favored the bank given what we perceived as its strong growth prospects. |
| We established a Fund position in Orion, a South Korean manufacturing company. It engages in the manufacturing of confectionary items. Its products include pie, snacks, biscuits, candy, jelly, gum and chocolate. We believe its rather unique position in the China confectionary market may help it capitalize on ongoing premiumization and the channel shift toward higher margin traditional trade channels. (Premiumization is the action or process of attempting to make a brand or product appeal to consumers by emphasizing its superior quality and exclusivity.) |
| Conversely, we sold the Fund’s position in PT Matahari Department Store, a retail store chain in Indonesia, because of what we saw as the company’s heightened liquidity risk and reduced financial flexibility, combined with weaker than market expected operating performance. |
| We exited the Fund’s position in KT, a South Korean telecommunication services provider, due to what we viewed as the company’s moderate profitability amidst intense competition and regulatory pressures to lower wireless tariffs. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Fund weightings at a sector level are driven bybottom-up stock selection. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure relative to the Index to materials and financials increased, and its allocation relative to the Index to information technology decreased. |
| Similarly, allocations to countries are directly the result of various stock selection decisions. As such, the Fund’s allocation relative to the Index to Turkey increased, and its exposure relative to the Index in South Korea decreased. |
Q | | Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period? |
A | | There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in Egypt, Vietnam and the Philippines |

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

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

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
|
As of April 30, 2019 |
| 6 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocations of exchange traded funds and investment companies held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 0.4% of the Fund’s net assets at April 30, 2019. |

|
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.
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 astraight-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 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 annually.
70
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY 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 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. Offering Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of the ESG Emerging Markets Equity Fund were amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement 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).
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 toGSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities— Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official

|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2019:

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
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.
For the six months ended April 30, 2019, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Contractual Management Rate | | | Effective Rate | | | Effective Net Management Rate^ | |
Fund | | | | First $1 billion | | | Next $1 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Over $8 billion | |
Asia Equity | | | | | 1.00 | % | | | 0.90 | % | | | 0.86 | % | | | 0.84 | % | | | 0.82 | % | | | 1.00 | % | | | 1.00 | % |

^ | | Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. |
The Asia Equity, Emerging Markets Equity and ESG Emerging Markets Equity 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 six months ended April 30, 2019, GSAM waived $1,400, $1,605 and $2 of the Asia Equity, Emerging Markets Equity and ESG Emerging Markets Equity Funds’ management fees, respectively.
B. Distribution and/or Service(12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Funds, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule12b-1 under the Act.

D. Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans to allow Class C and Service Shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and/or shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and/or Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares. Effective February 28, 2019 Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.04% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, and Investor Shares of the Asia Equity Fund through at least February 28, 2020, and prior to such date the Investment Adviser and Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or 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 Asia Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, ESG Emerging Markets Equity andN-11 Equity Funds are 0.114%, 0.104%, 0.124% and 0.164%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2020 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.

Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 2019, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 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.

5. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities of long-term securities for the six months ended April 30, 2019, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Purchases | | | Sales and Maturities | |
Asia Equity | | | | $ | 7,393,695 | | | $ | 13,387,844 | |
Emerging Markets Equity | | | | | 379,092,958 | | | | 285,744,737 | |
ESG Emerging Markets Equity | | | | | 2,117,062 | | | | 1,098,789 | |
N-11 Equity | | | | | 1,182,667 | | | | 9,594,628 | |
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Asia Equity, Emerging Markets Equity andN-11 Equity Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Asia Equity, Emerging Markets Equity andN-11 Equity 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 Rule2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% 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 thenon-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 ofset-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 April 30, 2019 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.

GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUNDS
|
7. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
The difference between GAAP-basis andtax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
ESG Standards Risk — The ESG Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s adherence to its environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria and the application of GSAM’s supplemental ESG analysis when selecting investments may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain companies, sectors, regions, and countries and may affect the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. For example, the Fund will not seek to invest in companies that GSAM believes have adverse social or environmental impacts (i.e., gambling, alcohol, tobacco, coal or weapons companies), and the Fund will not seek to invest in companies that GSAM believes show inadequate governance standards (e.g., certain state-owned enterprises).
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Geographic Risk — If a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were less focused, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that country or region, such as: adverse securities markets; adverse exchange rates; adverse social, political, regulatory, economic, business, environmental or other developments; or natural disasters.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use ofnon-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment

8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 Funds’ investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
At a meeting held on June 11-12, 2019, upon the recommendation of GSAM, the Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust approved certain changes to the Goldman Sachs N-11 Equity Fund’s name, principal investment strategy and benchmark, amongst other changes. The Fund’s name will change to the “Goldman Sachs Imprint Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund.” However, the Fund’s current investment objective to seek long-term capital appreciation will not change. The changes are expected to take place after the close of business on August 30, 2019.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date, other than the above, have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2019 (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 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, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, 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 Funds’ actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fee or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MARKET REVIEW
Goldman Sachs Fundamental International Equity Funds
Market Review
International equities rallied during thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”). The MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) posted a return of 7.45%.*
Following a challenging October 2018, international equities experienced a brief reprieve as the Reporting Period began in November 2018 on dovish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Jerome Powell, an accommodative stance by Chinese policymakers toward the private corporate sector and seemingly encouraging progress towardChina-U.S. trade talks. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) However, the relief rally proved short-lived, as international equities then plunged in December on renewed investor fears sparked by the arrest of a Chinese technology executive, a partial U.S. federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Powell. International equities also fell sharply on trade war escalations between the U.S. and China as well as on political uncertainty — and in a delayed response to an earliersell-off in global rates. Political uncertainty remained elevated in Europe, particularly surrounding the Italian fiscal budget and ongoing Brexit negotiations. (Brexit indicates the U.K.’s path out of the European Union.)
Recovering from weakness in the last months of 2018, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 9.98% in the first quarter of 2019.* International developed equity markets rebounded across all regions. The Fed maintained its dovish stance amidst slower global economic growth, and significant progress appeared to be made in the trade talks between China and the U.S., paving the way for a potential resolution. European equities remained resilient, despite the overhang of Brexit and slowing economic data. Japanese equities gained during the quarter, as fears around the extent of the global economic growth slowdown eased and the yen gradually weakened.
The MSCI EAFE Index returned 2.81% in April 2019.* European equity markets broke records for calm and quiet trading periods, with little variation through the month of April, and remained resilient despite the persistent overhang of Brexit and slowing economic data. Japanese equities gained amidst similar conditions as dominated in the first quarter of 2019. The Fed maintained its dovish stance amidst slower economic growth, and the European Central Bank extended its forward guidance to confirm its interest rates would remain “unchanged through 2019.”
For the Reporting Period as a whole, information technology, real estate, utilities and industrials were the strongest performing sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index, each producing a positive double-digit absolute return. The weakest performing sector in the MSCI EAFE Index and the only one to post a negative absolute return during the Reporting Period was energy. Health care, communication services, financials and consumer discretionary generated solid positive absolute returns but also lagged the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period.
From a country perspective, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Singapore were the strongest performing constituents of the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, each posting strong double-digit gains. Norway and Austria were the weakest individual country constituents of the MSCI EAFE Index and the only markets to post negative absolute returns. Japan, Finland, Israel and Germany each generated positive absolute returns but also significantly lagged the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed equities as the most favorable asset class, offering reasonable valuations relative to solid macroeconomic and corporate fundamentals, in our opinion. After a significant repricing of assets and market expectations in the fourth quarter of 2018, the first four months of 2019 saw a sharp recovery, as investor fears abated. Specifically, the geopolitical landscape, trade relations and monetary policy showed signs of improvement, easing earlier concerns. While we were encouraged by the strong start to 2019, we did expect at the end of the Reporting Period to see more signals of an aging cycle as the calendar year progresses, which may be challenging to navigate and require even more selectivity. Yet without clearer indications of deteriorating fundamentals, we believed it was too early to position for a downturn in global economic growth or in corporate earnings.
Economic data in some regions of the world was showing weakness after a long run of recovery and expansion. Europe is one such region where economic growth peaked in 2018 and seems to have reverted to its long-term trend level of 1% to 1.5%. Indeed, we believe the global economy overall has transitioned from a period of above-trend growth and rapid absorption of slack, particularly in the labor market, to a period of near-trend growth and slower absorption of slack. In our view, the risk of recession in this environment is low, as consumers continue to drive economic growth, supported by generally healthy balance sheets and strong labor markets.
In addition, while we believe the economic cycle is mature and some cyclical softening is to be expected, economic softening does not necessarily lead to recession, and stock markets have a checkered history of predicting such. Geopolitics has been and will likely continue to be the other major source of concern for international developed markets — a trade war between the world’s two most important economies, Brexit uncertainty and rising nationalism together create a challenging backdrop for investors.
As a result, markets have returned to more historically “normal” patterns of volatility. We can be reasonably confident that volatility is here to stay. But, at the same time, volatility is more a reflection of investor uncertainty than economic reality, and the two should not be confused. In our opinion, volatility may ultimately provide opportunity. We are always cognizant of the fact that the companies the Funds own will have to face challenging economic times at some point, predictable or not. We selected those companies because of our confidence in their ability to grow and prosper relative to their competitors — over the long term.
As always, we maintain our focus on seeking companies with durable businesses that we believe will generate long-term growth in today’s ever-changing market conditions.
Please note that effective 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. These changes were implemented in the MSCI Equity Indexes in one step as part of its November 2018 Semi-Annual Index Review.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Equity ESG Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q | | How did the Fund perform during Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 11.25%, 10.83%, 11.47%, 11.19%, 11.44%, 11.47% and 11.50%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.45% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, attributable primarily to individual stock selection. Country allocation and sector allocation each had rather neutral effect during the Reporting Period. Having an allocation, albeit modest, to cash dampened the Fund’s relative results during a Reporting Period when the Index posted a solid positive return. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among the greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were BTG, Cellnex Telecom and Rentokil Initial. |
| BTG, based in the U.K., is an international specialist health care company that is developing and commercializing products targeting critical care, cancer and other disorders. Its shares performed well on the announcement the company would be acquired by Boston Scientific. We did not anticipate competing offers coming in and thus decided to sell the Fund’s position in BTG, taking profits. |
| Cellnex Telecom, based in Spain, operates infrastructure for wireless telecommunications in Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland and elsewhere. The tower industry has been consolidating in Europe, which has led to a positivere-rating of the tower industry overall. (When the market changes its view of a company, industry or sector sufficiently to make calculation ratios, such as price/earnings ratios, substantially higher or lower, this is are-rating.) Further, Cellnex Telecom is, in our view, well exposed to new industry entrants thereby expanding its network footprint —notably via Iliad in France and Italy. Longer term, we believe Cellnex Telecom may well be a beneficiary of rising data consumption across Europe. |
| Rentokil Initial, based in the U.K., is a global pest management and hygiene services company. Its stock performed well after the company reported an increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2018. This increase was partly organic and partly buoyed by further acquisitions and improvements in the French workwear market. The pest control business grew by double digits during the Reporting Period, with good performance being delivered across both developed and emerging markets. After the harsh weather conditions experienced in the first half of 2018, the company benefited from favorable weather conditions across Europe and the U.K. during the Reporting Period. This facilitated stronger revenues from wholesalers. At the end of the Reporting Period, Rentokil Initial remained a core holding in the Fund given what we see as its defensive nature as well as its potential value accretion from mergers and acquisitions, margin improvement from enhanced business synergies and better return on invested capital. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among the biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were Orix JREIT, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Novartis. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
| Orix JREIT (“Orix”) is a Japanese real estate investment trust that invests in securitized real estate products, directly investing in real estate properties, such as offices, rental housing, hotels and more. Its stock price declined during the Reporting Period primarily due to weak quarterly earnings. Orix’s quarterly earnings are generally volatile, but its fourth quarter 2018 results were lower than market expectations. Our investment thesis still hinges on the fact it is a real asset company and should not be impacted by the yield curve, i.e., changes in interest rates. Orix has sold real estate and leasing assets and has been changing its asset mix in its efforts to seek higher return on equity assets. Its management team has also been aggressively doing acquisitions. For example, during the Reporting Period, the company announced the acquisition of an aircraft division of a U.K. company. It also announced it was considering another acquisition within the social infrastructure space, such as a railway or airport. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the decline in Orix’s share price was temporary and so we held the position within the Fund’s portfolio. |
| Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, based in Japan, is a holding company that engages in the management of its subsidiaries, which provide financial services. Its stock underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index in line with the broad financials sector, which was impacted significantly by global long-term interest rates heading downward almost uninterruptedly since November 2018. Japanese bank stocks underperformed the broad Japanese equity market, as measured by the TOPIX, by 5.4% in November 2018 alone. Share prices fell for major international banks and major regional banks alike. All that said, following a sharp decline in price during the fourth quarter of 2018, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group’s stock recovered somewhat after outperforming the Index during January 2019, primarily based on the bank showing favorable progress toward full-year guidance and a solid outlook for its earnings as well. |
| Novartis, a new position for the Fund during the Reporting Period, is a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company. Novartis actually outperformed the health care sector within the MSCI EAFE Index, but the sector as a whole underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. Its stock had a solidrun-up in price going into the spinoff of its eye care business, Alcon, in early April 2019, but then it pulled back sharply. Since then, the stock recovered somewhat, as the fundamentals of the business were strong as seen in its first quarter 2019 results, including strong organictop-line high single-digit growth anddouble-digit operating profit growth with margins ahead of market expectations and a modest guidance upgrade. At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed Novartis as a focused innovation company with margin expansion potential drivingmid-single-digittop-line and double-digit earnings per share growth. In our opinion, Novartis remained well on track on its margin trajectory and appeared to have a catalyst-heavy second half of 2019 wherein its risk/reward profile is skewed to the upside, with support from sharebuy-backs. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were health care, communication services and consumer discretionary, each due primarily to effective stock selection. |
| The sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results were financials and real estate, each hurt by weak stock selection. Having no allocation to utilities, which outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, also detracted. |
Q | | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in a concentrated portfolio or in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
| That said, effective stock selection and allocation positioning in Japan, the U.K. and Germany boosted the Fund’s relative returns most. Conversely, having no exposure to Hong Kong, which substantially outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. The other countries that detracted most from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period were Switzerland and France, where stock selection overall hurt. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did the Fund make any significant purchases or sales during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In addition to the purchase of Novartis, mentioned earlier, we established a Fund position in Swiss-based multinational packaged food company Nestle during the Reporting Period. We view Nestle as a high quality and defensive business with strong competitive positioning in high growth categories, such as coffee, pet food, water and nutrition. Under the leadership of its Chief Executive Officer, in place since 2017, Nestle has seen a significant change, in our view, and improvement in its business mix by the disposing ofnon-core assets and the acquiring of better quality assets, like Starbucks’ packaged coffee business. This deal bode well, we believe, for fastertop-line growth and margin expansion in coming years. We also observed improved corporate governance and incentive structure and leaner organization structure, which could position Nestle well in the fast-changing landscape, in our opinion. Nestle is clearly a leader in the food and beverage industry globally and, we believe, from an ESG perspective, as health, wellness and nutrition are at the core of Nestle’s product strategy. |
| Conversely, in addition to the sale of BTG, already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in British multinational telecommunications conglomerate Vodafone during the Reporting Period. We liked the company’s digital transformation, but we grew concerned about heightened competition in parts of Vodafone’s footprint. We were additionally concerned about the risk of cost escalation caused by expensive spectrum auctions and about the company’s high leverage as well. |
| We eliminated the Fund’s position in Rexel, a French distributor of electrical products. We continued to like the underlying improvement the company’s new management team has been delivering. However, we were more concerned about the slowing European construction backdrop and thus decided to sell the position. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of ourbottom-up stock selection process rather than anytop-down macroeconomic views or regional, country, sector or industry bets. We seek to outpace the MSCI EAFE Index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector or country weightings are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to communication services, energy and consumer staples increased relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, while its relative exposure to health care, industrials, consumer discretionary and financials decreased. |
| From a country perspective, the Fund’s exposure to Japan, Switzerland, Germany and Norway increased relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, while its relative exposure to the U.K., France and Ireland decreased during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the MSCI EAFE Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to the U.K., Spain and Denmark and less exposure to Germany relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held a neutral position relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in Japan, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, Sweden, Norway and New Zealand and held no exposure to the remaining components of the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund also had a position in Taiwan, which is not a constituent of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in communication services, health care, real estate, industrials and information technology at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI EAFE Index in financials, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and energy. The Fund had no exposure to the utilities and materials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Equity Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Equity Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.50%, 9.08%, 9.64%, 9.57%, 9.68%, 9.31% and 9.75%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.45% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, attributable primarily to individual stock selection. Country allocation also contributed positively, while sector allocation detracted, albeit modestly, from relative results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What were some of the Fund’s best-performing individual stocks? |
A | | Among the greatest contributors to Fund performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were Rio Tinto, Iberdrola and Ferrovial. |
| Rio Tinto is a U.K.-based international mining company. Its share price reacted strongly to the surge in iron ore prices after a disaster at a competitor’s mine in Brazil during the Reporting Period. Toward the end of the Reporting Period, the company released news of its first quarter 2019 production results, which revealed reduced iron ore shipments. The company also faced several challenges at the start of 2019, particularly from tropical cyclones, which resulted in Pilbara iron ore shipments being reduced. Pilbara iron ore shipments were down 14% in the first quarter of 2019, making the company unable to take full advantage of the iron ore price surge even though circumstances were out of its control. While we maintained the Fund’s position in Rio Tinto at the end of the Reporting Period, we intended to review Rio Tino’s prospects going forward. |
| Iberdrola is a Spain-based utility with high exposure to renewable assets globally. Its stock performed well during the Reporting Period, driven by strong results across its businesses. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to like the stock given what we feel is good visibility and growth prospects going forward. Also, global bond yields’ move lower toward the end of the Reporting Period favors stable, high dividend-yielding stocks, such as Iberdrola, in our opinion. |
| Ferrovial, a Spain-based company, owns infrastructure assets and also has exposure to the construction and related services businesses. Its stock performed well during the Reporting Period on the back of strong performance by its infrastructure assets, including toll roads, managed lanes and airports. Also, the company announced the potential sale of its services business, which we expect to be a positive outcome given we anticipate it to significantly reduce the volatility of its earnings and enhance investors’ ability to focus on its infrastructure assets. |
Q | | Which stocks detracted significantly from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Among the biggest detractors from Fund performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period were Takeda Pharmaceutical, British American Tobacco and Novartis. |
| Takeda Pharmaceutical is a Japan-based company engaged in research and development, manufacturing, sales and marketing and import and export of pharmaceutical drugs. In March 2018, before the start of the Reporting Period, Takeda Pharmaceutical announced it was acquiring competitor Shire. Typical of any firm making a big acquisition, Takeda Pharmaceutical’s purchase of Shire could lead to write- |

| downs, distractions from operating cost cuts and ongoing debt management on its balance sheet. Financing activities, bond issuance and dividend payments all increased Takeda Pharmaceutical’s cash balance, and companies holding high debt following acquisitions were generally out of favor during the Reporting Period. For Takeda Pharmaceutical in particular, Shire could have additional financial costs related to fair value adjustments. |
| British American Tobacco is a U.K.-based tobacco company. In November 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner announced it may clamp down on menthol flavored cigarettes. If implemented, this could put significant pressure on British American Tobacco’s cash flow, as menthol cigarettes in the U.S. accounts for approximately 25% of the company’s profits. Further, given its levered balance sheet, this could potentially put the company’s dividends under threat. Also, the tobacco industry broadly is undergoing a significant change, driven by new generational products (“NGPs”), like JUUL and iQOS, which, combined with harsher regulations on traditional cigarettes, could lead to faster volume declines and unsettling of existing economics within the industry. Although British American Tobacco had a reasonably diversified NGP strategy to adjust to this changing dynamic, in our view, we were no longer comfortable with the industry at large, as these disruptive trends strengthened, and we felt we saw further downside from a long-term perspective. We thus decided to sell the Fund’s position in British American Tobacco rather early in the Reporting Period. |
| Novartis is a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company. Novartis actually outperformed the health care sector within the MSCI EAFE Index, but the sector as a whole underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. Its stock had a solid run-up in price going into the spinoff of its eye care business, Alcon, in early April 2019, but then it pulled back sharply. Since then, the stock recovered somewhat, as the fundamentals of the business were strong as seen in its first quarter 2019 results, including strong organic top-line high single-digit growth and double-digit operating profit growth with margins ahead of market expectations and a modest guidance upgrade. At the end of the Reporting Period, we viewed Novartis as a focused innovation company with margin expansion potential driving mid-single-digit top-line and double-digit earnings per share growth. In our opinion, Novartis remained well on track on its margin trajectory and appeared to have a catalyst-heavy second half of 2019 wherein its risk/reward profile is skewed to the upside, with support from share buy-backs. |
Q | | Which equity market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the MSCI EAFE Index were industrials, utilities and materials. Stock selection in all three sectors proved effective during the Reporting Period. |
| The sectors that detracted from the Fund’s results most during the Reporting Period were consumer staples, health care and information technology, where weak stock selection in each hurt. Having an overweighted allocation to health care, which underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, and having an underweighted allocation to information technology, which outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, also dampened the Fund’s relative results. |
Q | | Which countries most affected the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Typically, the Fund’s individual stock holdings will significantly influence the Fund’s performance within a particular country or region relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. This effect may be even more pronounced in countries that represent only a modest proportion of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
| That said, effective stock selection and allocation positioning in Spain and Italy contributed most positively to the Fund’s results relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period. Being underweight Japan, which underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, also added value. Conversely, the countries that detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance were Switzerland and the U.K., where stock selection overall hurt. Having no exposure to Hong Kong, which outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, also dampened the Fund’s relative results. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not use derivatives or similar instruments. |
11
PORTFOLIO RESULTS
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 DBS Group Holdings, a Singapore-based bank and financial services provider. We expect DBS Group Holdings to post stable top-line growth going forward and for its expenses and provisions to remain under control. Based on our fundamental analysis, the firm generates good capital. Also, DBS Group Holdings had increased its pay-out from 35% to 50% and offers what we consider to be an attractive dividend yield. |
| We initiated a Fund position in Reckitt Benckiser Group, a U.K-based consumer products manufacturer and distributor. We like the company from a long-term perspective owing to its portfolio of what we view as high quality power brands in fast growing categories, including consumer health, baby nutrition and hygiene home. Reckitt Benckiser Group missed consensus expectations in its top-line results in the third quarter of 2018 given an issue in one of its infant nutrition manufacturing facilities. Given that the problem appeared to be only a short-term one, it gave us the opportunity to establish a Fund position. The company is reviewing whether it should spin off its hygiene home division by mid-2020. If implemented, this could act, in our view, as a positive catalyst to its valuation, as investors may be able to appreciate the underlying value of both of the company’s divisions separately. |
| Conversely, in addition to the sale of British American Tobacco, already mentioned, we exited the Fund’s position in Swedbank, as allegations of money laundering surfaced against the Swedish bank. Swedbank was not able to provide a satisfactory response to those allegations, and so we sold the Fund’s position in its stock. |
Q | | Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In this Fund, both sector weightings and country allocations are largely the result of our bottom-up stock selection process rather than any top-down macroeconomic views or regional, country, sector or industry bets. We seek to outpace the MSCI EAFE Index by overweighting stocks that we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. Consequently, changes in its sector or country weightings are generally the direct result of individual stock selection or of stock appreciation or depreciation. That said, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s exposure to energy increased relative to the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, while its relative exposure to consumer staples decreased. |
| From a country perspective, the Fund’s exposure to Spain and Singapore increased relative to the MSCI EAFE Index, while its relative exposure to Sweden decreased during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s position in cash also decreased during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | How was the Fund positioned relative to the MSCI EAFE Index at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had more exposure to the U.K., Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Singapore, the Netherlands, Denmark and France relative to the MSCI EAFE Index and less exposure to Japan, Germany and Australia relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had eliminated its position in Sweden and continued to have no exposure to several other components of the MSCI EAFE Index, including Austria, Belgium, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Norway and Portugal. The Fund also held a position in Taiwan, which is not a component of the MSCI EAFE Index. |
| From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund had overweight positions relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in real estate, utilities, health care, industrials, energy and financials at the end of the Reporting Period. On the same date, the Fund had underweighted positions compared to the MSCI EAFE Index in consumer discretionary, consumer staples, materials and information technology and a rather neutral position relative to the MSCI EAFE Index in communication services. |
| As always, we remained focused on individual stock selection, with sector and country positioning being a secondary, closely-monitored effect. |

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
|
As of April 30, 2019 |
| 6 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Underlying sector allocations of exchange traded funds and investment companies held by the Fund are not reflected in the graph above. Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 1.7% of the Fund’s net assets at April 30, 2019. |

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 |

|
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.
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 astraight-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 year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not
38

|
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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:
| | | | | | |
Portfolio | | | | Income Distributions Declared/Paid | | Capital Gains Distributions Declared/Paid |
International Equity ESG | | | | Annually | | Annually |
International Equity Income | | | | 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.
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.
C. Fair Value Hierarchy — The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2019:

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS |
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.
For the six months ended April 30, 2019, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Contractual Management Rate | | | | | | Effective Net Management Rate^ | |
Fund | | | | First $1 billion | | | Next $1 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Next $3 billion | | | Over $8 billion | | | Effective Rate | |
International Equity ESG | | | | | 0.85 | % | | | 0.77 | % | | | 0.73 | % | | | 0.71 | % | | | 0.70 | % | | | 0.85 | % | | | 0.85 | % |
International Equity Income | | | | | 0.80 | | | | 0.72 | | | | 0.68 | | | | 0.67 | | | | 0.66 | | | | 0.80 | | | | 0.80 | |
^ | | Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any. |
The International Equity ESG and International Equity Income 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 of the affiliated Underlying Fund in which the Funds invest, except those management fees it earns from the Funds’ investments of cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2019, GSAM waived $572 and $142 of the International Equity ESG and International Equity Income Funds’ management fees, respectively.
B. Distribution and/or Service(12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule12b-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

4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Funds, as applicable, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs as Distributor is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.
The Trust, on behalf of Service Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Service Plan subject to Rule12b-1 under the Act to allow Service Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Service Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates | |
| | Class A* | | | Class C | | | Class R* | | | Service | |
Distribution and/or Service Plan | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.75 | % | | | 0.50 | % | | | 0.25 | % |
* | | With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution and Service Plans to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. |
C. Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended April 30, 2019, Goldman Sachs retained the following amounts:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Front End Sales Charge | | | Contingent Deferred Sales Charge | |
Fund | | | | Class A | | | Class C | |
International Equity ESG | | | | $ | 403 | | | $ | 148 | |
International Equity Income | | | | | 277 | | | | 24 | |
D. Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans to allow Class C and Service Shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and/or shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and/or Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares. Effective February 28, 2019, Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.05% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Investor Shares of the International Equity ESG Fund through at least February 28, 2020, and prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or 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
42
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
|
4. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Funds are 0.014%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the six months ended April 30, 2019, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Custody Fee Credits | | | Transfer Agency Waiver/Credits | | | Other Expense Reimbursement | | | Total Expense Reductions | |
International Equity ESG | | $ | 572 | | | $ | 442 | | | $ | 3,830 | | | $ | 242,119 | | | $ | 246,963 | |
International Equity Income | | | 142 | | | | 46 | | | | — | | | | 209,549 | | | | 209,737 | |
G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 2019, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 30, 2019 the facility was $770,000,000.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — The following table provides information about the Funds’ investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund as of and for the six months ended April 30, 2019:

April 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds may lend their securities through a securities lending agent, Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“GSAL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% 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 thenon-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 ofset-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 April 30, 2019 are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Each of the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2019, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
The table below details securities lending activity with affiliates of Goldman Sachs:

6. SECURITIES LENDING (continued) |
The following table provides information about the Funds’ investment in the Government Money Market Fund for the six months ended April 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Beginning Value as of October 31, 2018 | | | Purchases at Cost | | | Proceeds from Sales | | | Ending Value as of April 30, 2019 | |
International Equity ESG | | | | $ | 9,909,535 | | | $ | 26,167,265 | | | $ | (28,236,220 | ) | | $ | 7,840,580 | |
International Equity Income | | | | | 61 | | | | 8,171,600 | | | | (7,286,181 | ) | | | 885,480 | |
As of the Funds’ most recent fiscal year ended, October 31, 2018, the Funds’ capital loss carryforwards on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Equity ESG | | | International Equity Income | |

Total capital loss carryforwards | | $ | (17,052,901 | ) | | $ | — | |
(1) | | Expiration occurs on October 31 of the year indicated. |
As of April 30, 2019, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | International Equity ESG | | | International Equity Income | |
Tax cost | | $ | 146,350,168 | | | $ | 53,732,524 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | 12,313,395 | | | | 3,079,199 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | (12,175,947 | ) | | | (4,254,482 | ) |
Net unrealized gain/loss | | $ | 137,448 | | | $ | (1,175,283 | ) |
The difference between GAAP-basis andtax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences related to the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
ESG Standards Risk — The International Equity ESG’s adherence to its environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria and the application of GSAM’s supplemental ESG analysis when selecting investments may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain companies, sectors, regions, and countries and may affect the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. For example, the Fund will not seek to invest in companies that GSAM believes have adverse social or environmental impacts (i.e., gambling, alcohol, tobacco, coal or weapons companies), and the Fund will not seek to invest in companies that GSAM believes show inadequate governance standards (e.g., certain state-owned enterprises).

|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
Foreign Custody Risk — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Geographic Risk — If a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were less focused, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that country or region, such as: adverse securities markets; adverse exchange rates; adverse social, political, regulatory, economic, business, environmental or other developments; or natural disasters.
Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an ETF, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.
Issuer Concentration Risk — The Funds may invest in a relatively small number of issuers. As a result, they may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers. A change in the value of any single investment held by the Funds may affect the overall value of the Funds more than it would affect a mutual fund that holds more investments. In particular, the Funds may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer in the Funds and may be susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use 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.
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
46
GOLDMAN SACHS FUNDAMENTAL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS
|
8. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2019 (Unaudited) | | |
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service(12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, 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 Funds’ actual net expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fee or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| * | | Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2019. 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.

Enhancements Made to Proprietary Quantitative Model during theSix-Month Period Ended April 30, 2019
We continuously look for ways to improve our investment process. Accordingly, we introduced a number of enhancements to our proprietary quantitative model during the six-month period ended April 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”).
Within our Sentiment Analysis investment theme, we enhanced existing signals that use machine learning to help understand sell-side analyst sentiment. 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. We extended an existing market sentiment signal to the U.K. investment region; the signal examines institutional investor activity to extract conviction positions. In addition, within our High Quality Business Models and Sentiment Analysis investment themes, we extended a suite of signals to the Japan region that use natural language processing on Japanese regulatory filings.

Market Review
During thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”), international equities and emerging markets equities generated positive returns. Emerging markets equities generally outperformed international equities.
Emerging Markets Equities
Emerging markets equities rallied during the Reporting Period, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EM Index”) posting a return of 13.76%.1
Following a challenging October 2018, emerging markets equities saw a brief reprieve as the Reporting Period began in November 2018 on dovish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Jerome Powell, an accommodative stance by Chinese policymakers toward the private corporate sector and seemingly encouraging progress towardChina-U.S. trade talks. (Dovish language tends to suggest lower interest rates; opposite of hawkish.) However, the relief rally proved short-lived, as investors were unnerved in December 2018 by the arrest of a Chinese technology executive, a partial U.S. federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Powell. Emerging markets stocks also fell sharply on trade war escalations between the U.S. and China as well as on political uncertainty — and in a delayed response to an earliersell-off, or rise, in global interest rates. Though posting negative absolute returns, emerging markets equities outperformed their developed markets counterparts on a relative basis both for the month of December and for the fourth calendar quarter overall.
The U.S. federal government shutdown and decelerating emerging market demand were headwinds in January 2019, but emerging markets equities were buoyed by easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China as well as by a dovish U.S. Fed. China’s fourth quarter 2018 Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) grew at a 6.4% year-over-year rate, in line with consensus expectations, and its industrial production for December 2018 beat consensus expectations at a 5.7% year-over-year growth rate. However, growth in Chinese exports and imports declined 4.4% and 7.6% year-over-year, respectively, in December 2018, below consensus expectations for a 2.0% and 4.5% increase, respectively. Consistent with tariff measures, U.S.-bound exports from China showed the sharpest deceleration. That said, headlines pointed to promising progress toward U.S.-China trade talks. Latin American equities outperformed broader emerging markets equities in January 2019, led by Brazil, where sentiment was boosted by the inauguration of its new government. Indian equities underperformed emerging markets equities broadly, facing deteriorating investor sentiment from a mixed corporate earnings season, uncertainty from the country’s then-upcoming elections and its budget, a weaker macroeconomic backdrop, and concerns about corporate governance.
Emerging markets equities recorded a modest gain in February 2019, taking a pause after the January rally. However, some countries remained in full sprint, reminding investors of emerging markets’ high degree of heterogeneity, or diversity. China’s equity market, in particular, continued its strong performance, benefiting from seeming progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations, faster than consensus expected policy easing and positive corporate earnings results. Corporate earnings, in general, with a significant share of emerging markets companies having reported, were another cue for investors not to tar the whole of emerging markets with the same brush. While the emerging markets saw some downward revisions at

MARKET REVIEW
the aggregate level in the first two months of 2019, China, Brazil and India kept showing attractive earnings per share growth estimates for 2019. However, despite solid fundamentals, Indian equities were still held back by uncertainty around then-upcoming elections and investor concerns about corporate governance.
In March 2019, emerging markets equites posted another modest gain, as three major headwinds subsided. First, on trade, markets perceived progressing negotiations between the U.S. and China as constructive, decreasing some of the volatility previously caused by tariff uncertainty. Subsequently, China’s equity market regained some of its trade-related losses from the 2018 calendar year. Second, financial conditions became more supportive, with the Fed taking a pause in its interest rate hiking cycle. Third, macroeconomic data releases showed emerging markets GDP growth returning to above-trend levels, while some developed markets countries saw their economic growth forecasts revised downwards, though symptoms of a possible recession in the U.S. and other developed markets countries remained scarce. The healthy macroeconomic diagnosis for emerging markets generally was complemented by solid fundamentals, as markets expected 2019 earnings in the emerging markets to grow more than twice as much as in the U.S.2 Despite the broader recovery, investors remained cautious about Indian equities, with that country’s general elections scheduled to commence in April 2019. Investors also remained cautious around Turkish markets, which were rattled by the overall economic downturn and by municipal elections at the end of March 2019.
Emerging markets equities notched solidly positive returns in April 2019, underpinned by robust fundamentals and supportive financial conditions, as the Fed maintained its pause in increasing U.S. interest rates. Positive surprises on released macroeconomic data further drove consensus expectations for emerging markets corporate earnings growth, forecasting emerging markets to outpace both the U.S. and developed markets in 2019 and in 2020. Also, valuations stayed below their historical averages, and emerging markets equities ended April 2019 trading at a steep 28% discount to U.S. equities and at a 22% discount to developed markets equities, respectively.3 Investors stayed cautious about Indian equities, as its general elections got underway, scheduled to come to a close in late May 2019. Brazil also caused some concern for investors, with its political climate drawing some attention after reports of disagreements between its President and its House Speaker.
For the Reporting Period as a whole, consumer discretionary, real estate and communication services were the strongest sectors in the MSCI EM Index. Still posting positive absolute returns but lagging the MSCI EM Index most during the Reporting Period were the health care, materials and energy sectors.
From a country perspective, Egypt was the best performing individual constituent of the MSCI EM Index for the Reporting Period, followed by South Africa, China, Indonesia and India, each of which posted a robust double-digit absolute gain. Conversely, Pakistan was by far the weakest individual country constituent of the MSCI EM Index, posting a double-digit decline during the Reporting Period, followed by Malaysia, which generated a more modest decline. Turkey, the Czech Republic and Chile eked out modestly positive returns but were also among the weakest constituents of the MSCI EM Index during the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW
International Equities
International equities advanced during the Reporting Period, with the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Standard Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “MSCI EAFE Index”) recording a return of 7.45%.1
When the Reporting Period began in November 2018, international equities gained on dovish comments from Fed Chair Powell, an accommodative stance by Chinese policymakers toward the private corporate sector and seemingly encouraging progress towardChina-U.S. trade talks. However, international equities then plunged in December on renewed investor risk aversion triggered by the arrest of a Chinese technology executive, a partial U.S. federal government shutdown and the U.S. President’s criticism of Fed Chair Powell. International stocks also fell sharply on trade war escalations between the U.S. and China as well as on political uncertainty — and in a delayed response to an earliersell-off, or increase, in global interest rates. Political uncertainty remained elevated in Europe, particularly surrounding the Italian fiscal budget and ongoing Brexit negotiations. (Brexit indicates the U.K.’s path out of the European Union.)
During the first quarter of 2019, international equities posted strongly positive returns, rebounding from previous losses across all regions. The Fed maintained its dovish stance amidst slower global economic growth, and significant progress appeared to be made in the trade talks between China and the U.S., paving the way for a potential resolution. European equities remained resilient, despite the overhang of Brexit and slowing economic data. Japanese equities gained during the first calendar quarter, as fears around the extent of the global economic growth slowdown eased and the Japanese yen gradually weakened.
In April 2019, international equities continued to rally. European equity markets broke records for calm and quiet trading periods, with little variation through the month, and remained resilient despite the persistent overhang of Brexit and slowing economic data. Japanese equities gained against a similar backdrop as dominated in the first quarter of 2019. The Fed maintained its dovish stance amidst slower economic growth, and the European Central Bank extended its forward guidance to confirm its interest rates would remain “unchanged through 2019.”
For the Reporting Period as a whole, information technology, real estate, utilities and industrials were the strongest performing sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index, each producing a positive double-digit absolute return. The weakest performing sector in the MSCI EAFE Index and the only one to post a negative absolute return during the Reporting Period was energy. Health care, communication services, financials and consumer discretionary generated solidly positive absolute returns but also lagged the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period.
From a country perspective, Hong Kong, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Singapore were the strongest performing constituents of the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period, each posting strong double-digit gains. Norway and Austria were the weakest individual country constituents of the MSCI EAFE Index and the only markets to post negative absolute returns. Japan, Finland, Israel and Germany each generated positive absolute returns but also significantly lagged the MSCI EAFE Index during the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW
Looking Ahead
At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to believe that less expensive stocks should outpace more expensive stocks. In addition, we expected stocks with good momentum to outperform those with poor momentum. We plan to focus on seeking companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive as well as profitable companies with what we view as sustainable earnings and a track record of using their capital to enhance shareholder value. As such, we anticipate remaining fully invested, with long-term performance likely to be the result of stock selection rather than sector or capitalization allocations.
We stand behind our investment philosophy that sound economic investment principles, coupled with a disciplined quantitative approach, can provide strong, uncorrelated returns over the long term. Our research agenda is robust, and we continue to enhance our existing models, add new proprietary forecasting signals and improve our trading execution as we seek to provide the most value to our shareholders.
Please note that effective 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. These changes were implemented in the MSCI Equity Indexes in one step as part of its November 2018 Semi-Annual Index Review.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.93%, 9.55%, 10.16%, 10.04%, 10.21%, 9.76% and 10.19%, respectively. These returns compare to the 13.76% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Standard Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a quantitative style of management, in combination with a qualitative overlay, that emphasizes fundamentally-based stock and country/currency selection, careful portfolio construction and efficient implementation. To manage the Fund, we use two distinct strategies — abottom-up stock selection strategy and atop-down country/currency selection strategy. These strategies are uncorrelated, that is, they tend to perform independently of each other over time, which enables us to greater diversify the portfolio. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index, with our stock selection strategy detracting from performance. Our country/currency strategy added to relative returns. |
Q | | Which investment themes helped and which hurt within the Team’s stock selection strategy? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and four investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, all four of our investment themes — Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends — detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Fundamental Mispricings seeks to identify high quality businesses trading at a fair price, which we believe may lead to strong performance over the long run. High Quality Business Models seeks to identify companies that are generating high quality revenues with sustainable business models and aligned management incentives. Sentiment Analysis seeks to identify stocks experiencing improvements in their overall market sentiment. Market Themes & Trends seeks to identify companies positively positioned to benefit from themes and trends in the market and macroeconomic environment. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative results? |
A | | In constructing the portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative returns. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Fundamental Mispricings characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, stock selection hindered the Fund’s relative performance, with investments in the consumer staples sector detracting most. Selection within the energy and materials sectors also had a negative impact on results. On the positive side, the Fund was aided by stock selection in the real estate, information technology and utilities sectors during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hurt by its overweights relative to the Index in China Petroleum & Chemical (“Sinopec”), a Chinese oil and gas enterprise; President Chain Store, a Taiwan-based convenience store company; and PetroChina, a Chinese oil and gas company. Our decision to overweight Sinopec was mainly due to our High Quality Business Models investment theme. Largely because of our Market Themes & Trends and High Quality Business Models investment themes, the Fund was overweight President Chain Store. The Fund’s overweight in PetroChina was primarily a result of our High Quality Business Models investment theme. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was helped by its underweight positions in Vale, a Brazilian metals and mining company and logistics operator; Petroleo Brasileiro (“Petrobras”), a Brazilian petroleum company; and Baidu, a Chinese artificial intelligence and Internet company. The underweights in Vale and Baidu were driven mainly by our Market Themes & Trends and Fundamental Mispricings investment themes. An underweight in Petrobras was established primarily because of our Fundamental Mispricings investment theme. |
Q | | What impact did the Team’s country/currency selection strategy have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | Our country/currency strategy added to the Fund’s relative returns. During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from its underweights versus the Index in Malaysia and Qatar. An overweight position in China also contributed positively. Conversely, the Fund was hurt by its overweights in South Korea and Indonesia. A slightly underweight position compared to the Index in Turkey also detracted from performance during the Reporting Period. |
| We made our picks using our proprietary models, which, during the Reporting Period, were based on three investment themes specific to our country/currency strategy — Valuation, Risk Premium and Macro. Valuation favors equity and currency markets that appear cheap relative to accounting measures of value and purchasing power. Risk Premium evaluates whether a country is overcompensating investors for various types of risk. Macro assesses a market’s macroeconomic environment and growth prospects. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we shifted the Fund from an overweight relative to the Index in India to a rather neutral position. We moved the Fund from a relatively neutral position in Thailand to an underweight. Compared to the Index, we changed the Fund’s underweight in Brazil to an overweight position. We also shifted the Fund from an underweight in Taiwan to a rather neutral position during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What were the Fund’s sector and country weightings at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the information technology, real estate, materials, industrials and utilities sectors. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the financials, energy, communication services, health care and consumer |

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

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS6 |
|
As of April 30, 2019 |
| 6 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 0.5% of the Fund’s net assets at April 30, 2019. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Equity Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.70%, 4.31%, 4.90%, 4.59%, 4.80%, 4.86%, 4.60% and 4.93%, respectively. These returns compare to the 7.45% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Standard Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | The Fund uses a quantitative style of management, in combination with a qualitative overlay, that emphasizes fundamentally-based stock and country/currency selection, careful portfolio construction and efficient implementation. To manage the Fund, we use two distinct strategies — abottom-up stock selection strategy and atop-down country/currency selection strategy. These strategies are uncorrelated, that is, they tend to perform independently of each other over time, which enables us to greater diversify the portfolio. |
| During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index, with our stock selection strategy and country/currency strategy both detracting from performance. |
Q | | Which investment themes helped and which hurt within the Team’s stock selection strategy? |
A | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and four investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| During the Reporting Period, all four of our investment themes — Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends — detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Fundamental Mispricings seeks to identify high quality businesses trading at a fair price, which we believe may lead to strong performance over the long run. High Quality Business Models seeks to identify companies that are generating high quality revenues with sustainable business models and aligned management incentives. Sentiment Analysis seeks to identify stocks experiencing improvements in their overall market sentiment. Market Themes & Trends seeks to identify companies positively positioned to benefit from themes and trends in the market and macroeconomic environment. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative results? |
A | In constructing the portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative returns. |

PORTFOLIO RESULTS
Q | | Did stock selection help or hurt Fund performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | We seek to outpace the Index by overweighting stocks we expect to outperform and underweighting those we think may lag. At the same time, we strive to maintain a risk profile similar to the Index. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Fundamental Mispricings characteristics than the Index. |
| During the Reporting Period, stock selection overall hurt the Fund’s relative performance, primarily investments in the health care, consumer staples and materials sectors. On the positive side, the Fund was helped by stock selection in information technology and, to a lesser extent, in industrials during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund’s returns were diminished by overweights compared to the Index in ProSiebenSat.1 Media, a German-based mass media company; Eisai, a Japanese pharmaceutical company; and Swedbank, a Nordic-Baltic banking group. The overweight in ProSiebenSat.1 Media was a result of our Fundamental Mispricings, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends investment themes. Largely because of our High Quality Business Models investment theme, the Fund was overweight Eisai. The Fund’s overweight in Swedbank was primarily due to our Market Themes & Trends and High Quality Business Models investment themes. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was helped by overweight positions in Evotec, a German biotechnology company, and in Koninklijke DSM, a Netherlands-based company focused on the fields of health, nutrition and materials. The overweight in Evotec was implemented mainly because of our Market Themes & Trends and High Quality Business Models investment themes. The Fund’s overweight in Koninklijke DSM was driven predominantly by our Sentiment Analysis investment theme. In addition, an underweight in Norwegian energy company Equinor bolstered performance, a position established largely as a result of our High Quality Business Models and Market Themes & Trends investment themes. |
Q | | What impact did the Team’s country/currency selection strategy have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | Our country/currency selection strategy detracted from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. Compared to the Index, the Fund was hampered by its underweight in Hong Kong and by its overweights in Norway and Japan. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from its overweight positions in the Netherlands and Sweden. |
| We made our picks using our proprietary models, which, during the Reporting Period, were based on five investment themes specific to our country/currency strategy — Valuation, Momentum, Risk Premium, Fund Flows and Macro. Valuation favors equity and currency markets that appear cheap relative to accounting measures of value and purchasing power. Momentum favors countries and currencies that have had strong recent outperformance. Risk Premium evaluates whether a country is overcompensating investors for various types of risk, while Fund Flows evaluates the strength of capital market inflows. Finally, Macro assesses a market’s macroeconomic environment and growth prospects. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | During the Reporting Period, we moved the Fund from an overweight versus the Index in Japan to a relatively neutral position. Compared to the Index, we shifted the Fund from an overweight in Australia to an underweight position. We increased the Fund’s overweight in Sweden and reduced its underweight in France during the Reporting Period. |

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

| 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 calendarquarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, 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. |

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, the Goldman Sachs Quantitative Investment Strategies Team discusses the Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Insights Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for thesix-month period ended April 30, 2019 (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 P and Class R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.51%, 4.07%, 4.65%, 4.63%, 4.75% and 4.75%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.89% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same period. |
Q | | What key factors were most responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | The Fund uses a quantitative style of management, in combination with a qualitative overlay, that emphasizes fundamentally-based stock selection, careful portfolio construction and efficient implementation. The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on certain investment themes, including Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends. |
| | During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index, with three of our quantitative model’s four investment themes detracting from results. Stock selection driven by these investment themes diminished relative returns. |
Q | | What impact did the Fund’s investment themes have on performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In keeping with our investment approach, we use our quantitative model and four investment themes to take a long-term view of market patterns and look for inefficiencies, selecting stocks for the Fund and overweighting or underweighting the ones chosen by the model. Over time and by design, the performance of any one of the model’s investment themes tends to have a low correlation with the model’s other themes, demonstrating the diversification benefit of the Fund’s theme-driven quantitative model. The variance in performance supports our research indicating that the diversification provided by our different investment themes is a significant investment advantage over the long term, even though the Fund may experience underperformance in the short term. Of course, diversification does not protect an investor from market risk nor does it ensure a profit. |
| | During the Reporting Period, three of our investment themes — Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models and Market Themes & Trends — detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Fundamental Mispricings seeks to identify high quality businesses trading at a fair price, which we believe may leads to strong performance over the long run. High Quality Business Models seeks to identify companies that are generating high quality revenues with sustainable business models and aligned management incentives. Market Themes and Trends seeks to identify companies positively positioned to benefit from themes and trends in the market and macroeconomic environment. |
| | The impact of our Sentiment Analysis investment theme was rather neutral during the Reporting Period. Sentiment Analysis seeks to identify stocks experiencing improvements in their overall market sentiment. |
Q | | How did the Fund’s sector and industry allocations affect relative results? |
A | | In constructing the portfolio, we focus on picking stocks rather than on making sector or industry bets. Consequently, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its sector and industry allocations and its style. Changes in its sector or industry weights generally do not have a meaningful impact on relative returns. |

The Fund’s investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on our investment themes. For example, the Fund aims to hold a basket of stocks with better Fundamental Mispricings characteristics than the Index. |
| | During the Reporting Period, stock selection had a negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance, led by holdings in the communication services, industrials and consumer staples sectors. On the positive side, investments in the consumer discretionary sector added to relative returns. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions detracted most from the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period? |
A | | In terms of individual stock positions, the Fund was hampered by overweight positions relative to the Index in Plus500, an Israel-based provider of online trading services; Cosmo Energy Holdings, a Japanese petroleum refining company; and IG Group, a U.K.-based derivatives trading company. The overweight in Plus500 was implemented primarily because of our High Quality Business Models investment theme. An overweight in Cosmo Energy Holdings was established due mainly to our Fundamental Mispricings and Market Themes & Trends investment themes. The Fund’s overweight in IG Group was largely driven by our High Quality Business Models and Sentiment Analysis investment themes. |
Q | | Which individual stock positions contributed most to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, the Fund was helped by its overweight positions in Altium, a U.S.-Australian provider ofPC-based software for the design of printed circuit boards; Evotec, a German biotechnology company; and Nemetschek, a German vendor of software for architects, engineers and the construction industry. The overweight in Altium was fueled mainly by our High Quality Business Models and Market Themes & Trends investment themes. Largely driven by our Market Themes & Trends and High Quality Business Models investment themes, the Fund benefited from its overweights in Evotec and Nemetschek. |
Q | | What impact did country selection have on the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period? |
A | | To construct the portfolio, we focus on security selection rather than on making country bets. As a result, the Fund is similar to the Index in terms of its country allocation; changes in its country weightings are generally the result of our stock picking. |
Q | | How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we used futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings. In other words, we put the Fund’s cash holdings to work by using them as collateral for the purchase of futures contracts. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on Fund results during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What changes did you make to the Fund’s country weightings during the Reporting Period? |
A | | During the Reporting Period, we changed the Fund’s rather neutral position versus the Index in Sweden to an underweight position. We shifted the Fund from an overweight to a relatively neutral position in Switzerland and from a rather neutral position to an overweight in the Netherlands. Compared to the Index, we increased the Fund’s overweight in Germany during the Reporting Period. |
Q | | What were the Fund’s sector and country weightings at the end of the Reporting Period? |
A | | At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the information technology, health care and consumer staples sectors. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the real estate and materials sectors. The Fund was relatively neutral compared to the Index in the energy, utilities, consumer discretionary, communication services, industrials and financials sectors at the end of the Reporting Period. |
| | In terms of countries, the Fund was overweight Germany, Japan, Norway and the Netherlands relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight the U.K., Sweden, Israel, Singapore and France. It was relatively neutral compared to the Index in Finland, Italy, Denmark, Australia, Spain, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Austria, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Belgium and Ireland at the end of the Reporting Period. |

These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 5.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Effective July 30, 2018, Class C Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is ten years after the purchase date. The Since Inception returns for Class C Shares do not reflect the conversion to Class A Shares after the first ten years of performance. Because Institutional, Investor, Class P and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. |
The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recentmonth-end returns.Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

FUND VS. BENCHMARK SECTOR ALLOCATIONS7 |
|
As of April 30, 2019 |
| 7 | | The Fund is actively managed and, as such, its composition may differ over time. Consequently, the Fund’s overall sector allocations may differ from percentages contained in the graph above. The graph categorizes investments using Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); however, the sector classifications used by the portfolio management team may differ from GICS. The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of market value (excluding investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle, if any). Investments in the securities lending reinvestment vehicle represented 1.7% of the Fund’s net assets at April 30, 2019. The graph depicts the Fund’s investments but may not represent the Fund’s market exposure due to the exclusion of certain derivatives, if any, as listed in the Additional Investment Information section of the Schedule of Investments. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments.
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/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 year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Fund is not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
72
GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INSIGHTS 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 eithershort-term orlong-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.
|
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
The 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 United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last

ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts.Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.
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. 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.
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. To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs for valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

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

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

International Small Cap Insights | | | | | 2,011 | | | | — | |
D. Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans to allow Class C and Service Shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and/or shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and/or Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.
E. Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.18% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class P and Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued) |
F. Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to reduce or limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for Emerging Markets Equity Insights, International Equity Insights and International Small Cap Insights Funds are 0.054%, 0.004% and 0.014%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least February 28, 2020, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.
For the six months ended April 30, 2019, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Management Fee Waiver | | | Custody Fee Credits | | | Transfer Agency Waiver/Credits | | | Other Expense Reimbursement | | | Total Expense Reductions | |

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of April 30, 2019, the Funds participated in a $580,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates. This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended April 30, 2019, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. Prior to April 30, 2019 the facility was $770,000,000.
H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended April 30, 2019, Goldman Sachs earned $1,402, $5 and $167 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Emerging Markets Equity Insights, International Equity Insights and International Small Cap Insights Funds, respectively.

6. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales and maturities oflong-term securities for the six months ended April 30, 2019, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | Purchases | | | Sales and Maturities | |
Emerging Markets Equity Insights | | | | $ | 1,448,793,794 | | | $ | 1,562,688,135 | |
International Equity Insights | | | | | 1,926,952,033 | | | | 1,565,589,763 | |
International Small Cap Insights | | | | | 2,528,118,276 | | | | 2,863,766,847 | |
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”), awholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Funds’ securities lending procedures, the Funds receive cash collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may experience delay in the recovery of their securities or incur a loss should the borrower of the securities breach its agreement with the Funds or become insolvent at a time when the collateral is insufficient to cover the cost of repurchasing securities on loan. Dividend income received from securities on loan may not be subject to withholding taxes and therefore withholding taxes paid may differ from the amounts listed in the Statements of Operations. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and as such 1) the remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and 2) the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.
The Funds invest the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), an affiliated series of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Government Money Market Fund is registered under the Act as an open end investment company, is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Act, and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM may receive a management fee of up to 0.16% 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 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 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 April 30, 2019, are disclosed as “Payable upon return of securities loaned” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Each of the Funds and GSAL received compensation relating to the lending of the Funds’ securities. The amounts earned, if any, by the Funds for the six months ended April 30, 2019, are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.

8. TAX INFORMATION (continued) |
As of April 30, 2019, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Emerging Markets Equity Insights | | | International Equity Insights | | | International Small Cap Insights | |
Tax cost | | | | | | $ | 1,807,062,361 | | | $ | 3,021,588,530 | | | $ | 3,816,433,593 | |
Gross unrealized gain | | | | | | | 250,043,699 | | | | 173,784,745 | | | | 349,448,004 | |
Gross unrealized loss | | | | | | | (63,208,004 | ) | | | (119,585,585 | ) | | | (227,130,373 | ) |
Net unrealized gain | | | | | | $ | 186,835,695 | | | $ | 54,199,160 | | | $ | 122,317,631 | |
The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains (losses) on regulated futures, net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts and differences in the tax treatment of passive foreign investment company investments.
GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Derivatives Risk — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.
Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the U.S. or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.
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.

GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INSIGHTS FUNDS
|
9. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
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 a Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries. Redemptions by large shareholders may have a negative impact on a Fund’s liquidity.
Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated, and GSAM has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2019 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R or Class R6 Shares of a Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service(12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class P, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, 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 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.

* | | Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2019. 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: |

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

The Funds will file their portfolio holdings for each month in a fiscal quarter within 60 days after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter on Form N-PORT. Portfolio holdings information for the third month of each fiscal quarter will be made available on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Fund holdings and allocations shown are unaudited, and may not be representative of current or future investments.
