Dear Shareholder:
      On behalf of the Board of Trustees of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (“Enterprise Trust”), we are pleased to invite you to a special meeting of shareholders of the Enterprise Trust’s funds named above (each fund an “AXA Enterprise Fund” and, together, the “AXA Enterprise Funds”) to be held at [                     a.m.] (Eastern time) on April 25, 2007 at the offices of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of January      , 2007 (the “Reorganization Agreement”), by and between Enterprise Trust and the Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”), which contemplates the reorganization of each of the AXA Enterprise Funds into a corresponding fund of GST (each a “GST Fund” and, together, the “GST Funds”) as follows:

Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund
Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund
Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund
Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund
Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund
Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund
Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime
  Obligations Portfolio
 
In separate combined proxy statements/prospectuses, it is also proposed that the: (1) AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (“Multimanager Trust”) be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; (2) AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund of the Multimanager Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund; and (3) AXA Enterprise Growth Fund of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund.
     The Enterprise Trust Trustees recommend that you vote to approve the proposed reorganizations.


 

      In considering these matters, you should note:
•  Similar Investment Objectives and Policies
      Each of the AXA Enterprise Funds (other than the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, Small Company Growth Fund and Small Company Value Fund) is proposed to be reorganized into an existing GST Fund, each of which has investment objectives and policies that are similar to those of its corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund. The Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund are each newly organized and have similar investment objectives and policies to those of the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, Small Company Growth Fund and Small Company Value Fund, respectively.
•  Same Aggregate Value of Shares
      The GST Fund shares you receive in the reorganization will have the same total dollar value as the total dollar value of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares that you held immediately prior to the reorganization. Your receipt of those GST Fund shares is intended to be tax-free under the federal tax law (although there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position), and no front-end or contingent deferred sales charges will be charged as a result of the exchange.
•  Reasons for the Reorganizations
      At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial, Inc. and AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA”), the investment adviser to the AXA Enterprise Funds, informed the Enterprise Trust Trustees that AXA had entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that each AXA Enterprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into its corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Trust Trustees approve the proposed reorganizations. After reviewing and considering, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Funds, GSAM and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Enterprise Trust Trustees determined that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into corresponding GST Funds is in the best interest of the shareholders of each of the AXA Enterprise Funds.
      To see how the reorganizations will affect your AXA Enterprise Funds, please carefully review the enclosed materials where you will find information on the expenses, investment policies and services relating to the corresponding GST Funds.
* * * * *
      The formal Notice of Special Meeting, a Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus, a Proxy Ballot and certain GST Fund prospectuses are enclosed. If you own shares in more than one of the AXA Enterprise Funds, more than one Proxy Ballot accompanies these materials. Please be sure to vote and return each Proxy Ballot.

AXA ENTERPRISE FUNDS TRUST
GOLDMAN SACHS TRUST
                    , 2007
Questions & Answers
For Shareholders of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust:
      The following questions and answers provide an overview of the proposals to reorganize your portfolio of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (“Enterprise Trust”) into a corresponding portfolio offered by the Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”). We also encourage you to read the full text of the combined proxy statement/ prospectus (the “Proxy/ Prospectus”) that follows.
 
Q: What are Enterprise Trust shareholders being asked to vote upon?
A: Enterprise Trust shareholders are being asked in the attached Proxy/ Prospectus to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of January      , 2007 (the “Reorganization Agreement”) under which each of the funds offered by Enterprise Trust (except for the AXA Enterprise Global Financial Services Fund and AXA Enterprise Socially Responsible Fund) (each, an “AXA Enterprise Fund” and, together, the “AXA Enterprise Funds”) would reorganize into a corresponding fund offered by GST (each, a “GST Fund” and, together, the “GST Funds”). Enterprise Trust shareholders will vote on the Reorganization Agreement on a fund by fund basis.
Q. Why has the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into corresponding GST Funds been recommended?
A: The Enterprise Trust Board of Trustees (the “Enterprise Trust Trustees”) have determined that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into corresponding GST Funds is in the best interest of the shareholders of each of the AXA Enterprise Funds. At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial, Inc. and AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable” and together with AXA Financial, Inc., “AXA”), the investment adviser to the AXA Enterprise Funds, informed the Enterprise Trust Trustees that AXA had entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that each AXA Enterprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into its corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Trust Trustees approve the proposed reorganizations.
      The Enterprise Trust Trustees reviewed and considered, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Funds, GSAM and Goldman, Sachs & Co. The Enterprise Trust Trustees also considered that neither Enterprise Trust nor GST will bear any direct fees or expenses in connection with the reorganizations or any explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the AXA Enterprise Funds in preparation for, or immediately following, the reorganizations. Under the Reorganization Agreement, which contemplates the reorganization of each of the AXA Enterprise Funds into a corresponding GST Fund, all of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated are concluded, will be paid by AXA Equitable (or an affiliate) or GSAM (or an affiliate).
Q: What is the anticipated timing of the reorganizations?
A: The special meeting of shareholders to consider the proposal is scheduled to occur on April 25, 2007. If all necessary approvals are obtained, the proposed reorganizations will likely take place immediately before the opening of business on April 30, 2007.

Q: Who will receive the Proxy/ Prospectus material?
A: The Proxy/ Prospectus has been mailed to all persons and entities that held shares of record in an AXA Enterprise Fund on February 12, 2007. Please note that in some cases record ownership of and/or voting authority over AXA Enterprise Fund shares may reside with a fiduciary or other agent. In these cases, the fiduciary or other agent may receive the Proxy/ Prospectus.
Q: How are the AXA Enterprise Funds proposed to be reorganized?
A: As you may know, Enterprise Trust consists of sixteen separate mutual funds, fourteen of which would be affected by the proposed reorganizations. The Reorganization Agreement for these AXA Enterprise Funds, approved by the Enterprise Trust Trustees, contemplates the reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into a corresponding GST Fund having similar investment objectives and policies. Under the Reorganization Agreement, each AXA Enterprise Fund will be reorganized into the corresponding GST Fund listed directly opposite such AXA Enterprise Fund in the table below.

      At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into the GST Funds, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, one additional portfolio of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (“Enterprise Group”) and twelve portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (“Multimanager Trust”) will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. In this regard, it is proposed that (1) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund, the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; (2) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund, the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund; and (3) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund, the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. The reorganizations will be completed whether or not the reorganization of the funds of the Enterprise Group or Multimanager Trust is completed. Separate proxy/prospectuses have been mailed to shareholders of the Multimanager Trust and Enterprise Group.
 
      The Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund are newly organized GST Funds that have been created in connection with the reorganizations and will not commence operations until the date of the reorganizations. Each GST Fund has investment objectives and policies that are similar to the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund being reorganized into it.
Q: Which class of shares of the GST Funds will I receive in the reorganizations?
A: Except for shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class A Shares will receive GST Fund Class A Shares, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class B

2


 

Shares will receive GST Fund Class B Shares, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class C Shares will receive GST Fund Class C Shares (except that holders of Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund will receive Class A Shares of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund) and holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class Y Shares will receive GST Fund Institutional Shares. For shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class A Shares will receive GST Fund ILA Service Shares, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class B Shares will receive GST Fund ILA Class B Shares, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class C Shares will receive GST Fund ILA Class C Shares and holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class Y Shares will receive GST Fund ILA Service Shares.

      The sales loads and Rule 12b-1 fees for each class of shares of the GST Funds generally are similar to those of the AXA Enterprise Funds. However, except as noted below, Class A Shares of the GST Equity Funds (as defined herein) are subject to a higher front-end sales load equal to 5.50% of the offering price for Class A Shares (versus 4.75% for Class A Shares of the AXA Enterprise Equity Funds (as defined herein)). With respect to the GST Fixed Income Funds (as defined herein), except the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund, the Class A Shares are subject to a front-end sales load equal to 4.50% of the offering price, while the Class A Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fixed Income Funds (as defined herein) are subject to a higher front-end sales load equal to 4.75%. With respect to the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund, Class A Shares are subject to a front-end sales load equal to 1.50% of the offering price, while Class A Shares of the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund are subject to a higher front-end sales load equal to 3.50%. With respect to the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, ILA Class B Shares and ILA Class C Shares are subject to contingent deferred sales charges payable upon redemption equal to 5.00% and 1.00%, respectively, while the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund does not impose such charges. In addition, Class A Shares of a GST Fund generally have a lower Rule 12b-1 fee (except as noted below) equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of a GST Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares (versus 0.45% for Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund). With respect to the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund, Class A Shares are currently subject to the same Rule 12b-1 fee as the corresponding GST Fund (0.25%). With respect to the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, ILA Class B Shares and ILA Class C Shares are subject to a higher Rule 12b-1 fee (equal to an annual rate of 1.00%) than the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, which does not currently pay Rule 12b-1 fees.
 
      If the reorganization of an AXA Enterprise Fund is approved by its shareholders, shareholders of that AXA Enterprise Fund who do not wish to have their AXA Enterprise Fund shares exchanged for shares of a corresponding GST Fund as part of the reorganization should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you will recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference, if any, between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them, unless you are a tax-exempt investor. In addition, if you redeem your shares prior to the reorganization and your shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, your redemption proceeds will be reduced by any applicable sales charge.
Q. What are the key differences between my AXA Enterprise Fund and its corresponding GST Fund?
A. AXA Equitable has recommended the acquiring fund in each reorganization based on, among other factors, its evaluation of the compatibility of your fund’s investment objective and policies with those of the acquiring fund. There are, however, certain differences in investment objectives, principal investment policies and strategies, and principal risks between your fund(s) and the acquiring fund(s). Please see the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus for more details on these differences, including comparative data on fees and performance. The following chart provides a brief summary of some of the more significant factors considered by your fund’s boards.

    Each Fund seeks income consistent with preservation of capital and invests primarily in investment grade debt securities. Each Fund seeks to maintain a relatively short duration; however, the AXA Enterprise Fund is permitted to have a longer duration than the GST Fund. In addition, the GST Fund seeks to maintain an average credit quality of AA while the AXA Enterprise Fund seeks to maintain a minimum average credit quality of A.
      The GST Fund is significantly larger than the AXA Enterprise Fund with net assets of $226 million versus $49 million.
      The net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund for the last fiscal year (or estimated for Class B Shares of the GST Fund) was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund.

Q: What are the costs and federal tax implications to shareholders in connection with the proposed reorganizations?
A: Neither Enterprise Trust nor GST will bear any direct fees or expenses in connection with the reorganizations or any explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the AXA Enterprise Funds in preparation for, or immediately following, the reorganizations. Under the Reorganization Agreement, GSAM (or an affiliate) and AXA Equitable (or an affiliate) have agreed to pay all of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement whether or not the transactions contemplated are concluded.
      No sales charge will be imposed on the shares of a GST Fund issued to you in a reorganization, which means that the aggregate value of the GST Fund shares issued to you will be equal to the aggregate value of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares that you own immediately prior to the reorganization. In addition, each reorganization is intended to be tax-free under the federal tax law (however, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position). However, immediately prior to the reorganizations, each AXA Enterprise Fund will declare and pay a final distribution to its shareholders of all of its investment company taxable income (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for taxable years ending on or before the effective time of its reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, recognized in those years. The sale of securities by an AXA Enterprise Fund prior to its reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business or in anticipation of the reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution it makes before the reorganization.

Q: Can one of the proposed reorganizations take place without the others?
A: Yes. The proposed reorganizations are not conditioned on each other. If shareholders of one AXA Enterprise Fund approve the proposed reorganization of their AXA Enterprise Fund, it will proceed whether or not the proposed reorganizations for the other AXA Enterprise Funds proceed. However, no reorganization of any AXA Enterprise Fund will be consummated until either all of the AXA Enterprise Funds of the Enterprise Trust approve the Reorganization Agreement or shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds with combined total assets under management of at least $1,000,000,000 approve the Reorganization Agreement. Under certain circumstances detailed in the Reorganization Agreement, an AXA Enterprise Fund reorganization involving one or more AXA Enterprise Funds may be consummated with a lesser amount of combined total assets under management.

SUMMARY
      The following is a summary of certain information contained in this Proxy/ Prospectus and the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement governs the terms of the Reorganization and is attached as Appendix A.
Board’s Consideration of the Reorganizations
      At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial, Inc. and AXA Equitable (“AXA”), the investment adviser to the AXA Enterprise Funds, informed the Enterprise Trust Trustees that AXA had entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that each AXA Enterprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into its corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Trust Trustees approve the proposed reorganizations.
      In addition to the October 23 meeting, the Enterprise Trust Trustees met on November 29 and December 28, 2006 to consider the Reorganization Agreement and the Reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into its Corresponding GST Fund. The Enterprise Trust Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)) of Enterprise Trust (the “Independent Enterprise Trust Trustees”), together with their independent legal counsel, also met in executive session at the October 23 and November 29 meetings to consider the Reorganizations. After reviewing and considering, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Funds, GSAM and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Enterprise Trust Trustees, including all of the Independent Enterprise Trust Trustees, determined that participation in the Reorganizations, as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, is in the best interests of the shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations. For additional information, see “Additional Information Applicable to all of the Reorganizations — Reasons for the Reorganizations and Board Considerations” below.
      The Enterprise Trust Trustees, including all of the Independent Enterprise Trust Trustees, unanimously recommend that shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement.
      At a meeting held on                     , 2006, the GST Board of Trustees (“GST Trustees”) similarly found that participation in the Reorganizations is in the best interests of each GST Fund and that the interests of the shareholders of each GST Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations.

      The Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity, Structured Small Cap Growth and Structured Small Cap Value Funds are each newly organized GST Funds that have been created for purposes of the Reorganization and will not commence operations until the day of the Reorganization. Each GST Fund has investment objectives and policies that are similar to the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund being reorganized into it. You should note that an investment in each Fund is subject to specific risks arising from the types of securities in which the Fund invests and general risks arising from investing in any mutual fund. There is no assurance that a Fund will meet its investment objective, and investors could lose money by investing in a Fund. As with all mutual funds, an investment in a Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
      As set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, each Reorganization between an AXA Enterprise Fund and its Corresponding GST Fund would involve:
  The acquisition of all of the assets of an AXA Enterprise Fund by its Corresponding GST Fund and the assumption by that GST Fund of all of the liabilities (other than those liabilities specifically excluded under the Reorganization Agreement) of the AXA Enterprise Fund, in exchange for the number of shares of the corresponding classes of the GST Fund noted in the above chart having aggregate values equal to the net asset values of the shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s corresponding classes noted in the above chart as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective time of the Reorganization;
 
  The distribution of the Corresponding GST Fund’s corresponding classes of shares to each holder of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class Y Shares (as applicable) of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the effective time of the Reorganization; and
 
  The complete liquidation of the AXA Enterprise Fund.
      As a result of the Reorganizations, each AXA Enterprise Fund shareholder will become a shareholder of its Corresponding GST Fund and will hold, immediately after its Reorganization, shares in such Corresponding GST Fund having a total dollar value equal to the total dollar value of the shares such shareholder held in the AXA Enterprise Fund immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reorganization. Each Reorganization is intended to be tax-free under the federal tax law (although there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position) and shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds will not pay any sales charge as a result of the Reorganizations.
      If approved, the Reorganizations will occur as of the opening of business on or about April 30, 2007, or another date selected by Enterprise Trust and GST. Approval of each Reorganization requires the approval of the

3


 

holders of a majority of the shares of the relevant AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. See “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations” and “Voting Information” below.
      At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into the GST Funds, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, twelve additional portfolios of the Multimanager Trust and one portfolio of the Enterprise Group will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. In this regard, it is proposed that (1) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund, the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; (2) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund, the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund; and (3) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund, the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. The Reorganizations will be completed whether or not the reorganizations of the Multimanager Trust or the Enterprise Group portfolios are completed. However, no reorganization of any AXA Enterprise Fund will be consummated until either all of the AXA Enterprise Funds of the Enterprise Trust approve the Reorganization Agreement or shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds with combined total assets of at least $1,000,000,000 approve the Reorganization Agreement. Under certain circumstances detailed in the Reorganization Agreement, an AXA Enterprise Fund reorganization involving one or more AXA Enterprise Funds may be consummated with a lesser amount of combined total assets under management.
      Although each AXA Enterprise Fund has a similar investment objective and principal strategies to its Corresponding GST Fund, some of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings may not be permissible portfolio holdings for its Corresponding GST Fund. Therefore, some portion of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings may be sold prior to or immediately following its Reorganization. In addition, for certain AXA Enterprise Funds, the investment adviser to the GST Funds, GSAM, anticipates selling a portion of such AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings shortly after the Reorganizations. To the extent that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings are sold prior to its Reorganization, the proceeds of such sales will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that the Corresponding GST Fund may hold. The possible need for a Fund to dispose of certain portfolio investments in connection with its Reorganization could result in selling such investments at a disadvantageous time and price. The sale of securities either prior to its Reorganization or shortly thereafter could result in the AXA Enterprise Fund or its Corresponding GST Fund realizing gains (which may be taxable) or losses that would not otherwise have been realized but for the Reorganization. Such a sale of assets and the reinvestment of the proceeds would involve brokerage and other transactional costs. In this event, GSAM will pay the explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of either Fund in connection with the Reorganization.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations
      It is intended that the Reorganizations will not result in the recognition, for federal income tax purposes, of gain or loss by the AXA Enterprise Funds, the GST Funds or the former’s shareholders, although there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position. However, immediately prior to its Reorganization, each AXA Enterprise Fund (other than the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, Small Company Growth Fund and Small Company Value Fund, each of which is reorganizing into a Corresponding GST Fund with no assets or liabilities) will declare and pay a distribution to its shareholders of all of its investment company taxable income (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for taxable years ending on or before the effective time of its Reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, recognized in those years. The sale of securities by an AXA Enterprise Fund prior to its Reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business or in anticipation of the Reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution it makes prior to the Reorganization.
      As a condition to the closing of each Reorganization, Enterprise Trust and GST each will receive an opinion from GST’s counsel, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP (based on certain facts, qualifications, assumptions and representations) to the effect that each Reorganization, for federal income tax purposes, will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The GST Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

Investment Objective
  Investment Objective
Seeks to achieve maximum capital appreciation.   Seeks long-term growth of capital and dividend income.
 
Investment Policies
  Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies that the sub-adviser selects for their growth potential. For purposes of this Fund, large capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization in excess of $4 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. issuers, including foreign companies that are traded in the United States. However, it is currently anticipated that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its Net Assets in such equity investments.

The sub-adviser focuses on identifying companies with growth potential. In choosing investments, the sub-adviser utilizes a process that combines top-down economic analysis with bottom-up stock selection. The “top-down” approach takes into consideration macro- economic factors such as interest rates and inflation. The “bottom-up” stock selection process looks for individual companies with earnings growth potential that may not be recognized by the market at large based on any of a number of different attributes.   The Fund’s investments are selected using both a variety of quantitative techniques derived from fundamental research including but not limited to valuation, momentum, profitability and earnings in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return, while maintaining risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the S&P 500® Index. The Fund seeks a broadly diversified portfolio of large cap and blue chip equity investments representing all major sectors of the U.S. economy. The Fund is not required to limit its investments to securities in the S&P 500® Index. The Fund’s investments in fixed-income securities are limited to securities that are considered cash equivalents.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for capital appreciation, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund also may invest in equity securities of small and mid-capitalization companies.   The Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, invest in small- and mid- capitalization companies.
 
The Fund will normally hold a core position of between 35 and 50 common stocks. The Fund may hold a limited number of additional common stocks at times when the sub-adviser is accumulating new positions, phasing out existing positions or responding to exceptional market conditions.   The Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of large-cap and blue chip equity investments representing all major sectors of the U.S. economy.
 
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including depositary receipts of foreign based companies, including companies based in developing countries.   The Fund may make foreign investments, including American and global depositary receipts. The Fund generally does not invest in securities of emerging market issuers. Equity securities of foreign issuers must be traded in the United States.
 
The Fund may engage in active or frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective.   Same.

For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets (not including securities lending collateral and any investment of that collateral) (“Total Assets”) in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises (“U.S. Government Securities”); commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group (“Standard & Poor’s” or “S&P”), P-2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or having a comparable rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”); certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers
  Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is Marsico Capital Management, LLC.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, polices and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund are, in general, similar. One difference between the Funds is that the GST Fund seeks capital appreciation and dividend income as part of its objective, while the AXA Enterprise Fund only seeks capital appreciation. The GST Fund also generally invests in a larger number of issuers than the AXA Enterprise Fund, which has a policy to hold a core position of 35-50 stocks. In addition, GSAM, unlike the investment sub-adviser for the AXA Enterprise Fund, relies primarily on a quantitative investment style.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations  — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization (assuming only the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund into the GST Fund and then assuming the Reorganization of both the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund and the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund into the GST Fund). The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered

an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists, (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure) and (4) the same GST Fund if both the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund and the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 2”).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Structured U.S. Equity Fund
    0.65%     First $1 Billion
      0.59%     Next $1 Billion
      0.56%     Over $2 Billion
Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fees for the Structured U.S. Equity Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.65%. Additionally, as of August 31, 2006, GSAM was voluntarily waiving a portion of its management fee equal to 0.10% based on the average daily net assets of the GST Fund.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.75% for Class A Shares, 2.30% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.30% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.56% for Class A Shares, 2.11% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.11% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma Figure 1”); and (4) the same GST if it acquires both the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund and the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma Figure 2”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.

14


 

      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Capitalization
      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of August 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share. For this Reorganization, because more than one AXA Enterprise Fund is being reorganized

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies that the sub-adviser believes are undervalued. Large capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization in excess of $10 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers with public stock market capitalizations (based upon shares available for trading on an unrestricted basis) within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell 1000® Value Index at the time of investment. If the market capitalization of a company held by the Fund moves outside this range, the Fund may, but is not required to, sell the securities. Currently, the capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Value Index was between $1.3 billion and $448 billion.
 
The sub-adviser utilizes a value-oriented investment style that emphasizes companies whose stocks are undervalued based on certain financial measurements, including price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios and dividend income potential.   The Fund seeks its investment objective by investing in value opportunities that GSAM defines as companies with identifiable competitive advantages whose intrinsic value is not reflected in the stock price.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for total return, such as preferred securities, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities, including securities of companies in emerging markets.   Although the Fund will invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its Net Assets in foreign securities, including securities quoted in foreign currencies.
 
The Fund also may invest in equity securities of small and mid-capitalization companies.   The Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, invest in small- and mid- capitalization companies.
 
The Fund generally does not invest more than 5% of its assets in fixed-income securities.   The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in fixed-income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.

AXA Enterprise Deep Value Fund   Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund
     
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, Inc.
  Investment Adviser
GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies, and restrictions of AXA Enterprise Deep Value Fund and Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund generally is required to invest a greater portion of its assets (at least 80% of its Net Assets) in equity securities of U.S. companies with large capitalizations than the AXA Enterprise Deep Value Fund (at least 65% of its assets). The GST Fund considers large capitalization companies to be those companies having a market capitalization within the range of companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index, which includes companies with capitalizations as small as $1.3 billion, while the AXA Enterprise Fund considers large capitalization companies to be those companies with a market capitalization of more than $10 billion. In addition, the GST Fund may invest in up to 25% of its Net Assets in foreign securities, while the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Deep Value Fund and the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.

      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Large Cap Value Fund
    0.75%     First $1 Billion
      0.68%     Next $1 Billion
      0.65%     Over $2 Billion
      Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fees for the Large Cap Value Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.75%.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.064% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.50% for Class A Shares, 2.05% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.05% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
       A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.49% for Class A Shares, 2.04% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.04% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

26


 

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
    Goldman Sachs Structured
AXA Enterprise Equity Fund   Large Cap Growth Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks Long-term capital appreciation.   Seeks long-term growth of capital. Dividend income is a secondary consideration. The Fund seeks this objective through a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers that are expected to have better prospects for earnings growth than the growth rate of the general domestic economy.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The Fund intends to invest primarily in the equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies that meet the sub-adviser’s criteria of high return on investment capital, strong positions within their industries, sound financial fundamentals and management committed to shareholder interests. Large capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the United States. However, it is currently anticipated that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its Net Assets in such equity investments. These issuers will have public stock market capitalizations (based upon shares available for trading on an unrestricted basis) similar to that of the Russell 1000® Growth Index at the time of investment. If the market capitalization of a company held by the Fund moves outside this range, the Fund may, but is not required to, sell the securities. The Fund is not required to limit its investments to securities in the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Growth Index is currently between $1.369 billion and $432.114 billion.

The sub-adviser generally chooses investments that include either companies with above average growth prospects, companies selling at reasonable valuations, or both. The sub-adviser generally selects companies with one or more of the following characteristics: superior business practices that will benefit from long-term trends, superior growth, profitability and leading market share versus others in their industry, strong enduring business models, valuable consumer or commercial franchises, high return on capital, favorable price to intrinsic value and undervalued assets.   The adviser emphasizes a company’s growth prospects in analyzing equity investments to be purchased by the Fund. The Fund’s investments are selected using both a variety of quantitative techniques derived from fundamental research including but not limited to valuation, momentum, profitability and earnings in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return. The Fund maintains the risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Fund seeks to maximize expected return while maintaining characteristics similar to its benchmark which generally consists of companies with above average capitalizations and earnings growth expectations and below average dividend yields.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for capital appreciation, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities, including securities of companies in emerging markets, provided that they are listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange or represented by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) or European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) listed on a domestic securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market.   The Fund may make foreign investments, including ADRs and global depositary receipts. The Fund generally does not invest in securities of emerging market issuers. Equity securities of foreign issuers must be traded in the United States.
 
The Fund also may invest in equity securities of small and mid-capitalization companies.   The Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, invest in small- and mid- capitalization companies.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements; non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.

    Goldman Sachs Structured
AXA Enterprise Equity Fund   Large Cap Growth Fund
     
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is TCW Investment Management Company.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the AXA Enterprise Fund defines large capitalization companies as companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion at the time of investment, while the GST Fund targets equity investments that fall within the capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which is currently between $1.369 billion and $432.114 billion. One other difference is that the investment adviser to the GST Fund uses a quantitative investment style unlike the investment sub-adviser to the AXA Enterprise Fund.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that

34


 

shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization (assuming only the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund into the GST Fund and then assuming the Reorganization of both the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund and the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund into the GST Fund). The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists, (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure) and (4) the same GST Fund if both the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund and the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 2”).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Structured Large Cap Growth
    0.65%     First $1 Billion
      0.59%     Next $1 Billion
      0.56%     Over $2 Billion
       Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.65%. Additionally, as of August 31, 2006, GSAM was voluntarily waiving a portion of its management fee equal to 0.10% based on the average daily net assets of the GST Fund.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.60% for Class A Shares, 2.15% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.15% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
       A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.55% for Class A Shares, 2.10% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.10% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma Figure 1”); and (4) the same GST Fund if it acquires both the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund and the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma Figure 2”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.

39


 

      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

1 The after-tax returns are for Class A Shares only. The after-tax returns for Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class Shares will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share. For this Reorganization, because more than one AXA Enterprise Fund is being reorganized into the GST Fund, the Pro forma Combined Fund reflects both Funds being reorganized into the GST Fund and only the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund being reorganized into the GST Fund.

Proposal 1(d): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund into the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund into the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The AXA Enterprise Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund   Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks above average and consistent total return through a combination of growth and income investing.   Seeks long-term growth of capital and growth of income.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The Fund intends to invest primarily in dividend-paying common stocks of U.S. large capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies include those companies with market capitalization in excess of $10 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its Total Assets in equity investments that the adviser considers to have favorable prospects for capital appreciation and/or dividend-paying ability. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies.
 
The sub-adviser focuses primarily on companies that offer the potential for capital appreciation combined with an above market level of dividend income. The sub-adviser generally uses the following guidelines in constructing the portfolio: (1) each individual stock holding will pay a dividend at least annually; (2) the overall portfolio yield will be greater than the dividend yield on the S&P 500 Index; and (3) at least 80% of the stocks (measured by net assets) will pay a dividend that exceeds the dividend yield on the S&P 500 Index.   The Fund invests primarily in securities that are believed to be undervalued.

AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund   Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund
     
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for total return, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund may invest up to 20% (but generally does not invest more than 5%) of its assets in fixed-income securities.   The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its Total Assets in fixed-income securities (including up to 10% in non- investment grade fixed-income securities), such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations, that offer the potential to further the Fund’s investment objective.
 
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging markets.   The Fund may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies.
 
The Fund also may invest in equity securities of small-and mid-capitalization companies.   The Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, invest in small- and mid- capitalization companies.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is Boston Advisors, LLC.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the AXA Enterprise Fund generally is required to invest a greater portion of its assets (at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities than the GST Fund (at least 65% of its assets). In addition, the GST Fund also may invest in fixed-income securities, including non-investment grade fixed-income securities, and foreign securities (including securities of issuers in emerging markets) to a greater extent than the AXA Enterprise Fund.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund and the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization (assuming only the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund into the GST Fund and then assuming the Reorganization of both the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund and the AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund). The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses

or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists, (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure) and (4) the same GST Fund if both the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund and AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund are acquired by the single GST Fund.
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Growth and Income Fund
    0.70%     First $1 Billion
      0.63%     Next $1 Billion
      0.60%     Over $2 Billion
      Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.70%.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.054% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.50% for Class A Shares, 2.05% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.05% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
       A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.49% for Class A Shares, 2.04% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.04% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma Figure 1”); and (4) the same GST Fund if it acquires both the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund and the AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma Figure 2”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1   The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.

51


 

      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

1 The after-tax returns are for Class A Shares only. The after-tax returns for Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class Shares will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

Capitalization
      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of August 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share. For this Reorganization, because more than one AXA Enterprise Fund is being reorganized into the GST Fund, the Pro forma Combined Fund reflects both Funds being reorganized into the GST Fund and only the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund being reorganized into the GST Fund.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund   Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks total return through capital appreciation with income as a secondary consideration.   Seeks long-term growth of capital and growth of income.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest primarily in a broadly diversified group of equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies that offer the opportunity for capital appreciation and, secondarily, income. Large capitalization companies include those companies with market capitalization in excess of $10 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its Total Assets in equity investments that the adviser considers to have favorable prospects for capital appreciation and/or dividend-paying ability. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies.
 
The sub-adviser utilizes an investment style that focuses on identifying discrepancies between a security’s fundamental value (i.e., the sub-adviser’s assessment of what the security is worth) and its market price.   The Fund invests primarily in securities that are believed to be undervalued.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for total return, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund may invest up to 35% (but generally does not invest more than 5%) of its assets in fixed-income securities. In seeking income, the Fund generally invests in stocks of dividend-paying companies.   The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its Total Assets in fixed-income securities (including up to 10% in non- investment grade fixed-income securities), such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations, that offer the potential to further the Fund’s investment objective.
 
The Fund may invest, to a limited extent, in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging markets.   The Fund may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies.
 
The Fund also may invest in equity securities of small-and mid-capitalization companies.   The Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, invest in small- and mid- capitalization companies.

AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund   Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund
     
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non- convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund generally may invest in fixed-income securities, including non-investment grade fixed-income securities, and foreign securities (including securities of issuers in emerging markets) to a greater extent than the AXA Enterprise Fund.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund and the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization (assuming only the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund into the GST Fund and then assuming the Reorganization of both the AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund and the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund into the GST Fund). The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of

58


 

future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists, (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure) and (4) the same GST Fund if both the AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund and the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 2”).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Growth and Income Fund
    0.70%     First $1 Billion
      0.63%     Next $1 Billion
      0.60%     Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.70%.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.054% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.50% for Class A Shares, 2.05% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.05% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
  A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.49% for Class A Shares, 2.04% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.04% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma Figure 1”); and (4) the same GST Fund if it acquires both the AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund and the AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro Forma Figure 2”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1   The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.

63


 

      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Capitalization
      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of August 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share. For this Reorganization, because more than one AXA Enterprise Fund is being reorganized

Proposal 1(f): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund into the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund into the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The GST Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the

68


 

investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise   Goldman Sachs Strategic
International Growth Fund   International Equity Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks capital appreciation.   Seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks this objective by investing in the stocks of leading companies within developed and emerging countries around the world, outside the U.S.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of foreign companies that the sub-adviser believes are positioned for capital appreciation. Foreign companies include those companies that are organized or headquartered outside of the U.S.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, substantially all, and at least 80% of its Net Assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States.
 
The Fund does not limit its investments to issuers within a specific market capitalization.   The Fund intends to invest in companies with public stock market capitalizations that are larger than $500 million at the time of investment.
 
The Fund generally diversifies its investments among different foreign markets and may invest in securities issued by companies in countries with either developed or developing economies. The Fund also may invest in U.S. securities.   The Fund may allocate its assets among countries as determined by the adviser from time to time provided that the Fund’s assets are invested in at least three foreign countries. The Fund expects to invest a substantial portion of its assets in the securities of issuers located in the developed countries of Western Europe and in Japan. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in a particular developed country may exceed 25% of its investment portfolio. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers located in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and in emerging countries. Currently, emerging countries include, among others, most Latin and South American, African, Asian and Eastern European nations.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for capital appreciation, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund may also invest up to 20% (but generally does not invest more than 5%) of its assets in fixed-income securities.   The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in fixed-income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.

69


 

     
AXA Enterprise   Goldman Sachs Strategic
International Growth Fund   International Equity Fund
     
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; Bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements; and non-convertible preferred stocks and non- convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is Wentworth, Hauser and Violich, Inc.   Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”) manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that GST Fund intends to invest in companies with a market capitalization of more than $500 million, while the AXA Enterprise Fund does not target issuers with a specific market capitalization. In addition, the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest in securities of U.S. companies, while the GST Fund generally does not. In addition, the GST Fund generally invests in fixed-income securities to a greater extent than the AXA Enterprise Fund.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund and the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual

71


 

representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. A 2% redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) of the GST Fund Goldman held for 30 calendar days or less.
 
6 GSAM is entitled to management fees from the GST Fund at an annual rate equal to the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Strategic International Equity Fund
    0.85%     First $1 Billion
      0.77%     Next $1 Billion
      0.73%     Over $2 Billion
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.16% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.85% for Class A Shares, 2.40% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.40% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
  A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.72% for Class A Shares, 2.27% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.27% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund is a newly organized GST Fund that has been created in connection with the Reorganization and will not commence operations until the date of the Reorganization. Therefore, the GST Fund currently has no performance information of its own to compare to that of the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund. Information regarding the performance of the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund is included in that Fund’s current Prospectus, dated March 1, 2006, as supplemented, which is incorporated herein by reference. A Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Proposal 1(g): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The AXA Enterprise Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund   Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks capital appreciation.
  Seeks long-term growth of capital.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of large capitalization companies. For purposes of this Fund, large capitalization companies include those companies with market capitalizations of $4 billion or more.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 90% of its Total Assets in equity investments. The Fund’s investment focus is on large-cap U.S. equity investments.
 
The Fund normally will have between 20-35 core holdings of large capitalization companies with growth characteristics, which the sub-adviser believes will provide superior rates of return over time, as compared to the Russell 1000 Growth Index.   The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity investments that are considered by the adviser to have long-term capital appreciation potential.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for capital appreciation, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund may invest, to a limited extent, in foreign securities, including securities of companies in emerging markets.   The Fund may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies.
 
The Fund also may invest in equity securities of small-and mid-capitalization companies.   The Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, invest in small- and mid- capitalization companies.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements; and non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is Ark Asset Management Co., Inc.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.

Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund generally has greater flexibility to invest in securities of companies that do not have large capitalizations, although it focuses its investments on large-cap companies. In addition, the GST Fund generally is more diversified than the AXA Enterprise Fund, which has a policy to hold approximately 20-35 core positions, and has less flexibility to invest in foreign securities than the AXA Enterprise Fund.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund and the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization (assuming only the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund into the GST Fund and assuming the Reorganization of both the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund and the AXA

Enterprise Growth Fund into the GST Fund). The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists, (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure) and (4) the same GST fund if both the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund and the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 2”).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily Net
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Assets
         
Capital Growth Fund
    1.00%     First $1 Billion
      0.90%     Next $1 Billion
      0.80%     Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 1.00%.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.60% for Class A Shares, 2.15% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.15% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
  A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.52% for Class A Shares, 2.07% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.07% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma Figure 1”); and (4) the same GST Fund if it acquires both the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund and the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro Forma Figure 2”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.

86


 

      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

1 The after-tax returns are for Class A Shares only. The after-tax returns for Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class Shares will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

Capitalization
      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of August 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share. For this Reorganization, because more than one AXA Enterprise Fund is being reorganized into the GST Fund, the Pro forma Combined Fund reflects both Funds being reorganized into the GST Fund and only the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund being reorganized into the GST Fund.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund   Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks capital appreciation.   Seeks long-term growth of capital.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in stocks of small capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization of $2.0 billion or less at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in small-cap U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the United States. However, it is currently anticipated that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its Net Assets in such equity investments. Most of these issuers will have public stock market capitalizations (based upon shares available for trading on an unrestricted basis) similar to that of the range of the market capitalizations of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Growth Index at the time of investment. The Fund is not required to limit its investments to securities in the Russell 2000® Growth Index. If the market capitalization of a company held by the Fund moves outside this range, the Fund may, but is not required to, sell the securities. The capitalization range of the Russell 2000® Growth Index is currently (as of November 30, 2006) between $90 million and $3.0 billion.

AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund   Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund
     
The sub-adviser utilizes an aggressive, growth-oriented investment style that emphasizes companies that are either in or entering into the growth phase of their business cycle.   The adviser emphasizes a company’s growth prospects in analyzing equity investments to be purchased by the Fund. The Fund’s investments are selected using a variety of quantitative techniques to analyze fundamental data in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return, while maintaining risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 2000® Growth Index. The Fund seeks a portfolio consisting of companies that the adviser believes exhibit good stock price momentum and also appear to be at reasonable valuations. The Fund also seeks companies with strong profit margins, sustainable earnings and who use their capital to enhance shareholder value. The Fund also seeks those companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive in the outlook regarding a company’s future.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for capital appreciation, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements; and non-convertible preferred stocks and non- convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is Eagle Asset Management, Inc.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund considers small-capitalization companies to be those companies with a market capitalization that falls within the range of the Russell 2000® Growth Index (which is currently between $90 million and $3 billion), while the AXA Enterprise Fund defines such companies as those having a market capitalization of $2 billion or less. In addition, the adviser to the GST Fund uses a quantitative investment style unlike the sub-adviser to the AXA Enterprise Fund.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The estimated annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma, net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement

purposes, the AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM is entitled to management fees from certain GST Funds at annual rates equal to the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the GST Funds:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Structured Small Cap Growth Fund
    0.85%     First $2 Billion
      0.77%     Over $2 Billion
6 GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee equal to 0.04% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. GSAM may discontinue or modify such voluntary limitations in the future at its discretion.
 
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.65% for Class A Shares, 2.20% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.20% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
    A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.60% for Class A Shares, 2.15% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.15% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund is a newly organized GST Fund that has been created in connection with the Reorganization and will not commence operations until the date of the Reorganization. Therefore, the GST Fund currently has no performance information of its own to compare to that of the AXA Enterprise Small Cap Growth Fund. Information regarding the performance of the AXA Enterprise Small Cap Growth Fund is included in that Fund’s current Prospectus, dated March 1, 2006, as supplemented, which is incorporated herein by reference. A Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
Comparison of the Distribution Policies and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies
      The sales charges, sales charge exemptions, distribution and servicing arrangements, purchase, redemption, exchange, dividend and other policies and procedures of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund are generally similar. There are, however, some differences of which you should be aware. The following table summarizes and compares the distribution policies and the purchase, redemption and exchange policies of the Funds.

Proposal 1(i): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

AXA Enterprise   Goldman Sachs
Small Company Value Fund   Structured Small Cap Value Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks maximum capital appreciation.   Seeks long-term growth of capital.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in stocks of small capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization of $2.0 billion or less at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in small-cap U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the United States. However, it is currently anticipated that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its Net Assets in such equity investments. Most of these issuers will have public stock market capitalizations (based upon shares available for trading on an unrestricted basis) similar to that of the range of the market capitalizations of companies constituting the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of investment. The Fund is not required to limit its investments to securities in the Russell 2000® Value Index. If the market capitalization of a company held by the Fund moves outside this range, the Fund may, but is not required to, sell the securities. The capitalization range of the Russell 2000® Value Index is currently (as of November 30, 2006) between $94 million and $3 billion.
 
The sub-adviser utilizes a value-oriented investment style that emphasizes companies deemed to be currently underpriced according to certain financial measurements, which may include price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios and dividend income potential.   The Fund’s investments are selected using a variety of quantitative techniques to analyze fundamental data such as valuation, momentum, profitability and earnings in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return, while maintaining risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 2000® Value Index. The Fund seeks a portfolio consisting of companies that the adviser believes exhibit good stock price momentum and also appear to be at reasonable valuations. The Fund also seeks companies with strong profit margins, sustainable earnings and who use their capital to enhance shareholder value. The Fund also seeks those companies about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive in the outlook regarding a company’s future.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes provide opportunities for capital appreciation, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stocks.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.

Small Company Value Fund   Structured Small Cap Value Fund
     
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; Bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements; and non-convertible preferred stocks and non- convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is GAMCO Asset Management, Inc.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund considers small-capitalization companies to be those companies with a market capitalization that falls within the range of the Russell 2000® Value Index (which is currently between $94 million and $3 billion), while the AXA Enterprise Fund defines such companies as those having a market capitalization of $2 billion or less. In addition, the adviser to the GST Fund uses a quantitative investment style unlike the sub-adviser to the AXA Enterprise Fund.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The estimated annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM is entitled to management fees from certain GST Funds at annual rates equal to the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the GST Funds:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Structured Small Cap Value Fund
    0.85%     First $2 Billion
      0.77%     Over $2 Billion
    GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee equal to 0.04% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. GSAM may discontinue or modify such voluntary limitations in the future at its discretion.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.75% for Class A Shares, 2.30% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.30% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
    A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.64% for Class A Shares, 2.19% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.19% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund is a newly organized GST Fund that has been created in connection with the Reorganization and will not commence operations until the date of the Reorganization. Therefore, the GST Fund currently has no performance information of its own to compare to that of the AXA Enterprise Small Cap Value Fund. Information regarding the performance of the AXA Enterprise Small Cap Value Fund is included in that Fund’s current Prospectus, dated March 1, 2006, as supplemented, which is incorporated herein by reference. A Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
Comparison of the Distribution Policies and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies
      The sales charges, sales charge exemptions, distribution and servicing arrangements, purchase, redemption, exchange, dividend and other policies and procedures of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund are generally similar. There are, however, some differences of which you should be aware. The following table summarizes and compares the distribution policies and the purchase, redemption and exchange policies of the Funds. For more information, see “Comparison of Shareholder Transactions and Services of the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds” in Appendix D.

      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of August 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share. The Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund is a newly organized GST Fund that has been created in connection with the Reorganization and will not commence operations until the date of the Reorganization.

Proposal 1(j): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Government Securities Fund into the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Government Securities Fund into the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

AXA Enterprise Government Securities Fund   Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks current income and safety of principal.   Seeks a high level of current income, consistent with safety of principal.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities that are obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Securities issued by the U.S. Government include securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, such as treasury bills, treasury notes and treasury bonds. Securities issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government include those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in U.S. Government Securities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities.
 
The Fund may invest in securities of any maturity. The sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s duration based on the sub-adviser’s view of the market and interest rates. The sub-adviser seeks to maintain a duration within 1.5 years of that of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index, which currently has a duration (as of December 31, 2006) of approximately 4.95 years.   The Fund has a target duration that is equal to that of the Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund Government/Mortgage Index, plus or minus one year. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of this index has ranged between 3 and 4.8 years. The Fund’s maximum duration is 6 years. The Fund’s expected approximate interest rate sensitivity is comparable to the 5-year U.S. Treasury note.
 
Subject to compliance with its other investment policies, the Fund has the flexibility to invest in non-government securities, such as privately issued mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and corporate securities.   The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in non-government securities, such as privately issued mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and corporate securities.
 
The Fund invests in U.S. Government securities, non-U.S. Government securities rated AAA or Aaa by an NRSRO at the time of purchase or, if unrated, determined by the adviser to be of comparable quality.   Same.
 
The Fund may invest primarily in GNMA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac securities and mortgage obligations collateralized by such securities and may concentrate from time to time in different U.S. Government securities in order to obtain the highest available level of current income and safety of principal.   No corresponding policy but may invest in the same types of securities.
 
The Fund generally invests all of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated securities.   The Fund will invest all of its assets in U.S. dollar- denominated securities.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes the Fund may invest in U.S. Government Securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government Securities.

AXA Enterprise Government Securities Fund   Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund
     
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is TCW Investment Management Company.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Government Securities Fund and Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund has a duration based on the Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund Government/ Mortgage Index, plus or minus 1 year. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of the Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund Government/ Mortgage Index has ranged between 3 and 4.8 years. The AXA Enterprise Fund, on the other hand, seeks to maintain a duration within 1.5 years of that of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index, which currently has a duration (as of December 31, 2006) of approximately 4.95 years. In addition, the GST Fund, unlike the AXA Enterprise Fund, does not have a policy that it may invest primarily in GNMA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and mortgage obligations collateralized by such securities or that it may concentrate its investments from time to time in different U.S. Government Securities.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual

113


 

operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Government Securities Fund and the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on November 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. A 2% redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) of the GST Fund held for 30 calendar days or less.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily Net
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Assets
         
Government Income Fund
    0.54%     First $1 Billion
      0.49%     Next $1 Billion
      0.47%     Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.54%. The annual operating expenses of the GST Fund have been restated to reflect a contractual reduction in transfer agent fees from an annual rate of 0.19% to an annual rate of 0.16% of the average daily net assets the GST Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C Shares.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.16% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.25% for Class A Shares, 1.80% for Class B and Class C Shares and 0.80% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund   Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks maximum current income.   Seeks a high level of current income and may also consider the potential for capital appreciation.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds that are rated below investment grade. The Fund generally invests in high-yield, income producing U.S. corporate bonds that are rated at the time of purchase B3 to Ba1 by Moody’s or B- to BB+ by Standard & Poor’s or determined by the sub-adviser to be of comparable quality, which are commonly known as “junk bonds.”   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in high-yield, fixed-income securities that, at the time of purchase, are non- investment grade securities. Non-investment grade securities are securities rated BB, Ba or below by a NRSRO, or, if unrated, determined by the adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest in all types of fixed-income securities, including senior and subordinated corporate debt obligations (such as bonds, debentures, notes and commercial paper), convertible and non-convertible corporate debt obligations, loan participations, custodial receipts, municipal securities and preferred stock.
 
The Fund generally does not purchase bonds in the lowest ratings categories (rated Ca or lower by Moody’s or CC or lower by Standard & Poor’s or which, if unrated, in the judgment of the sub-adviser are of comparable quality). If an investment is downgraded to Ca or lower or CC or lower after its purchase by the Fund, the sub-adviser has the discretion to hold or liquidate the security.   The Fund may invest in bonds in the lowest ratings categories.

123


 

     
AXA Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund   Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund
     
Subject to the Fund’s other investment policies, under normal circumstances, up to 20% of the Fund’s assets may include: (1) bonds rated Caa by Moody’s or CCC by Standard & Poor’s; (2) unrated debt securities which, in the judgment of the sub-adviser, have characteristics similar to those described above in (1); (3) convertible debt securities; (4) puts, calls and futures as hedging devices; (5) foreign issuer debt securities; and (6) short-term money market instruments, including certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. Government securities and other income-producing cash equivalents.   Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in investment grade fixed- income securities, including U.S. Government Securities. The Fund may also invest in common stocks, warrants, rights and other equity securities, but will generally hold such equity investments only when debt or preferred stock of the issuer of such equity securities is held by the Fund or when the equity securities are received by the Fund in connection with a corporate restructuring of an issuer.
 
The Fund has the flexibility to invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities, subject to compliance with its other investment policies.   The Fund may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in obligations of domestic and foreign issuers which are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and in securities of issuers located in emerging countries denominated in any currency. However, to the extent that GSAM has entered into transactions that are intended to hedge the Fund’s position in a non-U.S. dollar denominated obligation against currency risk, such obligation will not be counted when calculating compliance with the 25% limitation on obligations in non-U.S. currency.
 
The Fund may invest in securities of any maturity. The sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s duration based on the sub-adviser’s view of the market and interest rates. The sub-adviser is not required to maintain the Fund’s duration within any particular range.   The Fund has a target duration that is equal to that of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index -2% Issuer Capped, plus or minus 2.5 years. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of this index has ranged between 4.1 and 4.8 years. The Fund’s maximum duration is 7.5 years. The Fund’s expected approximate interest rate sensitivity is comparable to the 6-year U.S. Treasury note.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest in U.S. Government Securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government Securities.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is Caywood-Scholl Capital Management LLC.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund and Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST

124


 

Fund has the flexibility to invest all of its assets in non-investment grade securities in the lowest rating categories (rated Ca or lower by Moody’s or CC or lower by Standard & Poor’s or determined by the adviser to be of comparable quality), while the AXA Enterprise Fund’s investments in such securities are limited to 20% of its assets. In addition, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund has a duration targeted on the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index -2% Issuer Capped plus or minus 2.5 years, with a maximum duration of 7.5 years. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index -2% Issuer Capped has ranged between 4.1 and 4.8 years. The AXA Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund’s sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s duration based on its view of the market and interest rates and is not required to maintain the Fund’s duration within any particular range. The GST Fund also generally invests at least 80% of its Net Assets in all types of fixed-income securities, while the AXA Enterprise Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that Class A and Class Y shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. It is expected that Class B and Class C shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur the same annual operating expense ratios (after waivers and expense reimbursements) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratios of the Class A Shares and Institutional Shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently are lower than those of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each of these classes of shares of the combined GST Fund. The annual operating expense ratios of the Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the GST Fund (after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently are 2 basis points higher than those of the Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, while the pro forma net annual operating expense ratios are the same. GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual fund operating expenses of the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of the GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the tables below.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise High Yield Bond Fund and the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The

126


 

purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on November 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. A 2% redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) of the GST Fund held for 60 calendar days or less.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
High Yield Fund
    0.70%     First $2 Billion
      0.63%     Over $2 Billion
      Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.70%.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.16% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.024% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.30% for Class A Shares, 1.85% for Class B and Class C Shares and 0.85% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Proposal 1(l): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund into the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund into the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The AXA Enterprise Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning

135


 

the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund   Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks current income with reduced volatility of principal.   Seeks to generate return in excess of traditional money market products while maintaining an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds and other debt securities. These securities may include U.S. Government bonds and notes, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, foreign debt securities, convertible securities, preferred stocks, asset-backed securities and mortgage related securities.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, primarily in a portfolio of fixed-income securities, including non-mortgage securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, corporate notes and commercial paper and fixed and floating rate asset- backed securities.
 
The Fund intends to invest only in investment grade fixed income securities and seeks to maintain a minimum average credit quality rating of “A” by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s in its portfolio.   The Fund may invest across a broad range of high- grade fixed-income sectors with an emphasis on the preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund’s investments must be rated at least A at the time of purchase (or determined by the adviser to be of comparable quality). The Fund seeks to maintain a weighted average credit quality of AA.
 
The Fund seeks to maintain a high level of share price stability by keeping the average duration of the overall portfolio between one year and three years. The Fund may adjust its holdings based on actual or anticipated changes in interest rates or credit quality. The Fund may also engage in risk management techniques, including futures contracts, swap agreements and other derivatives, in seeking to increase share price stability, increase income and otherwise manage the Fund’s exposure to investment risks.   The Fund has a target duration that is equal to that of the Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of this index has been approximately 0.75 years. The Fund’s expected approximate interest rate sensitivity is comparable to the 9-Month U.S. Treasury Bill.
 
The Fund may invest in securities with effective or final maturities of any length at the time of purchase. It is anticipated that the average effective maturity of the Fund will range from one to four years.   Except for asset-backed securities and Treasury Securities deliverable into futures transactions, the Fund will not invest in securities with remaining maturities of more than 5 years. With respect to asset-backed securities, the Fund will not invest in asset-backed securities with a weighted average life of more than 5 years.
 
The Fund will focus primarily on U.S. securities but may invest up to 20% of its total assets in U.S. dollar denominated fixed income securities of foreign issuers.   The Fund is permitted to invest in U.S. dollar denominated fixed income securities of foreign issuers.

136


 

     
AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund   Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund
     
In choosing investments, the sub-adviser searches for the best values on securities that meet the fund’s credit and maturity requirements.   In pursuing the Fund’s investment objective, the adviser will seek to enhance the Fund’s return by identifying those high grade fixed income securities that are within the maturity limitations discussed above and that the adviser believes offer advantageous yields relative to other similar securities.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes the Fund may invest in U.S. Government Securities and repurchase agreement collateralized by U.S. Government Securities.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund and Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund seeks to maintain a minimum average credit quality of AA, while the AXA Enterprise Fund seeks to maintain a minimum average credit quality of A. In addition, the GST Fund has a duration target equal to the Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index to One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of the Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index/ One Year U.S. Treasury Note Index has been approximately 0.75 years. The duration of the AXA Enterprise Fund may range from 1 to 3 years. Also, the GST Fund generally does not invest in foreign securities, while the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in such securities.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio (estimated annual operating expense ratio with respect to Class B shares) of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund and the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period (except that the fees and expenses of the Class B Shares of the GST Fund are estimated) and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be

138


 

considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 (except with respect to the Class B Shares of the GST Fund as noted above). The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on November 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Enhanced Income Fund
    0.25%     First $1 Billion
      0.23%     Next $1 Billion
      0.22%     Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.25%.
 
  GSAM has voluntarily agreed not to impose a portion of the management fee on the GST Fund equal to 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. As a result of fee waivers, the current management fee of the GST Fund is 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This waiver may be terminated at any time at the option of GSAM.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.16% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A and B Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.014% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.90% for Class A Shares, 1.65% for Class B and Class C Shares and 0.65% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing

141


 

in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.

Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The AXA Enterprise Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name requires shareholder approval. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund   Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, with consideration given to preservation of principal.   Seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in investments, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax or from both federal and state income tax. The issuers of these securities may be located in any state, territory or possession of the United States.   The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its Net Assets in Municipal Securities, the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax (i.e., excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes).
 
The Fund generally invests in investment grade municipal securities (i.e., those securities rated BBB or better by Standard & Poor’s or Baa or better by Moody’s or unrated securities of similar quality).   The Fund’s investments must be rated at least BBB or Baa at the time of purchase (or determined by the adviser to be of comparable quality). The Fund seeks to maintain a weighted average credit quality of A.
 
The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its net assets in municipal securities, the interest on which is a tax preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax.   The Fund may invest up to 100% of its Net Assets in private activity bonds, the interest on which (including the Fund’s distributions of such interest) may be a preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax.
 
While there are no maturity restrictions on the municipal securities in which the Fund may invest, the average weighted maturity is expected to range from 10 to 25 years. The sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s average maturity and, in some cases, may utilize futures contracts and options on futures as a defensive measure according to its judgment of anticipated changes in interest rates.   The Fund has a target duration that is equal to that of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Municipal Bond Index, plus or minus one year. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of this index has ranged between 6 and 8 years. The Fund has a maximum duration of 12 years. The Fund’s expected approximate interest rate sensitivity is comparable to a 15-year municipal bond.
 
The Fund invests all of its assets in U.S. dollar denominated securities.   Same.
 
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in cash, cash equivalents and debt securities, the interest from which may be subject to federal income tax. Investments in taxable securities generally will be limited to investment grade corporate debt securities and U.S. Government securities.   Same.

148


 

     
AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund   Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund
     
The Fund may use derivatives, including purchasing put and call options and writing covered put and call options on securities it may purchase. The Fund also may invest in mortgage-backed securities. The Fund also may invest in floating rate and variable rate tax exempt securities.   Same, subject to the Fund’s other investment policies.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes the Fund may invest in U.S. Government Securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government Securities.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is MBIA Capital Management Corp.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund has a duration target equal to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Municipal Bond Index, plus or minus one year, with a maximum duration of 12 years. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Municipal Bond Index has ranged between six and eight years. The AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund has no specific target duration and its average weighted maturity may range from 10 to 25 years. In addition, the GST Fund may invest up to 100% of its Net Assets in private activity bonds, the interest on which (including the Fund’s distributions of such interest) may be a preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax, while the AXA Enterprise Fund may not invest more than 20% of its net assets in such securities.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that Class A and Class Y shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. However, it is expected that Class B and Class C shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur higher annual operating expense ratios (approximately 10 basis points higher) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratios of the Class A and Institutional Shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently are lower than those of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as are the pro forma net annual operating expense ratios of these classes of shares of the combined GST Fund. The annual operating expense ratios of the Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the GST Fund (after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently are 10 basis points higher than those of the Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as are the pro forma net annual operating expense ratios of the Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the combined GST Fund, and would be 27 and 26 basis points lower, respectively, absent the expense limitation arrangements currently in effect. GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual fund operating expenses of the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of the GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the tables below.

150


 

      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund and the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on November 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily Net
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Assets
         
Municipal Income Fund
    0.55%     First $1 Billion
      0.50%     Next $1 Billion
      0.48%     Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.55%. The annual operating expenses of the GST Fund have been restated to reflect a contractual reduction in transfer agent fees from an annual rate of 0.19% to an annual rate of 0.16% of the average daily net assets the GST Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C Shares.
 
  GSAM has voluntarily agreed not to impose a portion of the management fee on the GST Fund equal to 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. As a result of fee waivers, the current management fee of the GST Fund is 0.50% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. This waiver may be terminated at any time at the option of GSAM.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.16% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares for the Fund. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.10% for Class A Shares, 1.65% for Class B and Class C Shares and 0.65% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing

153


 

in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1  The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or

154


 

Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

1 The after-tax returns are for Class A Shares only. The after-tax returns for Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class Shares will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

Redemption Fees   There is a 2% redemption fee assessed on certain redemptions of shares (including by exchange) within one month after purchase.   There is a 2% redemption fee assessed on certain redemptions of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less.
Capitalization
      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of October 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on October 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would

Proposal 1(n): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund into the Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund into the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment

159


 

Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund   Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks highest possible level of current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.   Seeks to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the fund intends to invest only in short-term, high quality dollar-denominated securities. These securities may be issued by U.S. companies, U.S. and foreign banks, U.S. and foreign governments, U.S. agencies, states and municipalities and international organizations, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The fund’s principal investments include bank obligations, commercial paper and corporate obligations. The fund may also invest in repurchase agreements based on these securities.   The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in U.S. Government Securities, obligations of U.S. banks, commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S. companies, states, municipalities and other entities and repurchase agreements.
 
The fund will maintain a weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less, and will not invest in securities with remaining maturities of more than 13 months.   Same.
 
All securities purchased by the fund must meet the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which is designed to mitigate the risk of loss.   Same.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-adviser is The Dreyfus Corporation.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest in securities issued by foreign banks, while the GST Fund may not.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur higher annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratios of the Service Shares of the GST Fund (after taking into account any expense limitation arrangements) currently are 13 basis points higher than that of the Class A Shares and Class Y Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as are the pro forma net annual operating expense ratios of these classes of shares of the combined GST Fund, and would be 37 basis points lower absent the expense limitation arrangements currently in effect. The annual operating expense ratios for the Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the GST Fund (after taking into account any expense limitation arrangements) currently are 73 basis points higher than those of the Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as are the pro forma net annual operating expense ratios of these classes of shares of the combined GST Fund, and would be 23 basis points higher absent the expense limitation arrangements currently in effect. GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual fund operating expenses of the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio (Service, Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of the GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the tables below.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund and the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on July 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. For financial statement

purposes, the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 Investors wishing to purchase shares of the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio are generally required to purchase ILA Service Shares. ILA Class B and Class C Shares of the Prime Obligations Portfolio will typically be acquired in exchange for Class B or Class C Shares, respectively, of another Goldman Sachs Fund.
 
2 When you exchange shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund into shares of the Money Market Fund, the holding period for purposes of determining the CDSC will continue to run while you hold your shares of the Money Market Fund. If you redeem those shares of the Money Market Fund, the applicable CDSC will apply.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon ILA Class B Shares of the GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund and ILA Class B Shares of the GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares and ILA Service Class, respectively, shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on ILA Class C Shares of the GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 GSAM is entitled to management fees from certain GST Funds at annual rates equal to the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the GST Funds:
         
    Management Fee
GST Fund   Annual Rate
     
ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio
    0.35 %
6 Service Organizations may charge other fees directly to their customers who are the beneficial owners of ILA Service Shares in connection with their customers’ accounts. Such fees may affect the return such customers realize with respect to their investments.
 
7 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administration and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.70% for each Class of shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
 
8 GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, shareholder administration fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.434% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, ILA Service Shares, ILA B Shares or ILA C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, the GST Fund or the Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1  The ILA Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of ILA Class B Shares to ILA Service Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of ILA Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares,

Class C Shares, ILA Service Shares, ILA Class B Shares or ILA Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.

Comparison of the Distribution Policies and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies
      The sales charges, sales charge exemptions, distribution and servicing arrangements, purchase, redemption, exchange, dividend and other policies and procedures of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund are generally similar. There are, however, some differences of which you should be aware. The following table summarizes and compares the distribution policies and the purchase, redemption and exchange policies of the Funds. For more information, see “Comparison of Shareholder Transactions and Services of the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds” in Appendix D.

    AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund   Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio
         
Sales Charges and Distribution/Service (Rule 12b-1) Fees   Class A Shares. Initial purchases of shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund are not subject to any sales charges. However, an investor will have to pay a sales charge if the investor exchanges Class A Shares of the Fund for Class A Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund, unless the investor has already paid a sales charge on those shares. Class A Shares currently do not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees (but are subject to a maximum Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A Shares).   Service Shares. Service Shares are not subject to any sales charges or Rule 12b-1 fees. However, Service Shares are subject to a service plan and shareholder administration plan under which Service Shares bear fees for personal and account maintenance services plus shareholder administration services paid to service organizations. Under the plan, service organizations are entitled to receive payments from the Fund equal to an annual rate of 0.25% for personal and account maintenance services plus an additional fee equal to an annual rate of 0.15% for shareholder administrative services of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares attributable to or held in the name of the organization for its customers.
 
    Class B Shares. Initial purchases of shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund are not subject to any sales charges. However, if an investor exchanges Class B Shares of the Fund for Class B Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund, the shares received in the exchange will become subject to a CDSC. Class B Shares convert to Class A Shares approximately 8 years after purchase. When an investor exchanges Class B Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund into Class B Shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, the holding period for purposes of determining the CDSC and conversion to Class A Shares will continue to run while the investor holds his Class B Shares of the Fund. Class B Shares currently do not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees (but are subject to a maximum Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B Shares).   Class B Shares. There is no front-end sales charge on Class B Shares. However, ILA Class B Shares are subject to a CDSC of up to 5% on certain redemptions within 6 years of purchase. Class B Shares also are subject to a Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B Shares. Class B Shares convert to Service Shares approximately 8 years after purchase.

    Class C Shares. Initial purchases of shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund are not subject to any sales charges. However, if an investor exchanges Class C Shares of the Fund for Class C Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund, the shares received in the exchange will become subject to a CDSC. When an investor exchanges Class C Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund into Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, the holding period for purposes of determining the CDSC will continue to run while the investor holds his Class C Shares of the Fund. Class C Shares currently do not pay any Rule 12b-1 fees (but are subject to a maximum Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares).   Class C Shares. There is no front-end sales charge on Class C Shares. However, Class C Shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% on certain redemptions within the first year of purchase. Class C Shares also are subject to a Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares.
 
    Class Y Shares. Class Y Shares are not subject to any front-end sales charge, CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees.   Class Y shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will receive Service Shares of the GST Fund in connection with the Reorganization. Information regarding the sales charges, distribution/service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other fees is shown above.
 
Purchase Policies   Investors can purchase shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund directly through the Fund’s principal underwriter, Enterprise Fund Distributors, Inc., or through an authorized dealer, subject to certain minimum investments and eligibility and other requirements.   Investors can purchase shares of a GST Fund directly from Goldman Sachs, through authorized dealers and directly from GST, subject to certain minimum investments and eligibility and other requirements.
 
Exchange Policies   Shareholders can exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value without the imposition of any front-end sales charge or CDSC at the time of the exchange for shares of the same class of another AXA Enterprise Fund.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO ALL OF THE REORGANIZATIONS
Risks of Investing in the AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds
      All of the principal risks applicable to the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds are summarized in the tables appearing in the description of each proposal above and are described in more detail below. More information about certain types of portfolio securities and investment techniques, and their associated risks for the GST Fund, is provided in Appendix A to the prospectuses of the GST Funds. You should consider the investment risks discussed in this section and the prospectuses of the GST Funds, which are important to your investment choice.
      The Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund, and Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “GST Equity Funds”) and AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund, AXA Enterprise Deep Value Fund, AXA Enterprise Equity Fund, AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund, AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund, AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund, and AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund (collectively, the “AXA Enterprise Equity Funds” and along with the GST Equity Funds, the “Equity Funds”) will be subject to the risks associated with equity investments. “Equity investments” may include common stocks, preferred stocks, interests in real estate investment trusts, convertible debt obligations, convertible preferred stocks, equity interests in trusts, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and similar enterprises, warrants, stock purchase rights and synthetic and derivative instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities. In general, the values of equity investments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and in response to general market and economic conditions. Accordingly, the values of the equity investments that the Equity Funds hold may rise or decline over short or extended periods. The stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when prices generally decline. This volatility means that the value of an investment in an Equity Fund may increase or decrease. Recently, certain stock markets have experienced substantial price volatility.
      The Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund, Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund, and Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund (collectively, the “GST Fixed Income Funds”), the AXA Enterprise Government Securities Fund, AXA Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund, AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund, and AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund (collectively, the “AXA Enterprise Fixed Income Funds”), the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio and AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund will be subject to the risks associated with fixed-income securities. To the extent it invests in fixed-income securities, an Equity Fund will also be subject to the risks associated with fixed-income securities. These risks include interest rate risk, credit risk and call/extension risk. In general, interest rate risk involves the risk that when interest rates decline, the market value of fixed-income securities tends to increase. Conversely, when interest rates increase, the market value of fixed-income securities tends to decline. Credit risk involves the risk that an issuer or guarantor could default on its obligations, and an AXA Enterprise Fund or its Corresponding GST Fund will not recover its investment. Call risk and extension risk are normally present when the borrower has the option to prepay its obligations.
     
Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Net Asset Value Risk — The risk that the net asset value of a Fund and the value of your investment will fluctuate or in the case of a money market fund that a Fund will not be able to maintain a net asset value per share of $1.00 at all times.
  All GST Funds
All AXA Enterprise Funds

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Interest Rate Risk — The risk that when interest rates increase, fixed income securities held by a Fund will decline in value. Long-term fixed-income securities will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed-income securities. Also with respect to money market funds, during periods of rising interest rates, a Fund’s yield (and the market value of its securities) will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates; in periods of falling interest rates, a Fund’s yield will tend to be higher.
  All GST Funds
All AXA Enterprise Fixed Income Funds
AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund
 
Credit/ Default Risk — The risk that an issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security held by a Fund, or a bank or other financial institution that has entered into a repurchase agreement, or the counterparty in a derivative transaction, may default on its payment obligations including the obligation to pay interest and repay principal. For certain funds, this risk may include the risk of default on foreign letters of credit, guarantees or insurance that back municipal securities.

Call Risk — The risk that an issuer will exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation held by a Fund (such as a mortgage-backed security) earlier than expected. This may happen when there is a decline in interest rates. Under these circumstances, a Fund may be unable to recoup all of its initial investment and will also suffer from having to reinvest in lower yielding securities.

Extension Risk — The risk that an issuer will exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation held by a Fund (such as a mortgage-backed security) later than expected. This may happen when there is a rise in interest rates. Under these circumstances, the value of the obligation will decrease, and a Fund will also suffer from the inability to invest in higher yielding securities.

U.S. Government Securities Risk — The risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. Although many U.S. Government Securities purchased by the Funds, such as those issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Banks, may be chartered or sponsored by Acts of Congress, their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the United States Treasury and, therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. Government Securities held by a Fund may greatly exceed their current resources, including their legal right to support from the U.S. Treasury. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

Stock Risk — The risk that stock prices have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. Stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline in value over short or extended periods. In recent years, U.S. and foreign stock markets have experienced substantial price volatility. The value of such securities will change based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market and economic conditions.
  All GST Equity Funds
All AXA Enterprise Equity Funds
 
Derivatives Risk — The risk that loss may result from a Fund’s investments in options, futures, swaps, structured securities and other derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to a Fund. Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. A Fund’s investment in derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. These transactions are subject to changes in the value of the underlying security on which such transactions are based. Even a small investment in derivative securities can have a significant impact on a Fund’s exposure to stock market values, interest rates or currency exchange rates. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and portfolio management risk depending on the type of underlying asset, reference rate or index. They also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate well with the underlying asset, rate or index. These types of transactions will be used primarily as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset and/or for hedging purposes. When a derivative security is used as a hedge against an offsetting position that a Fund also holds, any loss generated by the derivative security should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged instrument, and vice versa. To the extent that a Fund uses a derivative security for purposes other than as a hedge, that Fund is directly exposed to the risks of that derivative security and any loss generated by the derivative security will not be offset by a gain.

Market Risk — The risk that the value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. A Fund’s investments may be overweighted from time to time in one or more industry sectors, which will increase a Fund’s exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those sectors.

Liquidity Risk — The risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the time period stated in its prospectus because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Funds that invest in small and mid-capitalization stocks and real estate investment trusts will be especially subject to the risk that during certain periods the liquidity of particular issuers or industries, or all securities within particular investment categories, will shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic, market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions whether or not accurate.
  All GST Funds
AXA Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund
 
Tax Risk  — A Fund may be adversely impacted by changes in tax rates and policies. Because interest income from municipal securities is normally not subject to regular federal income taxation, the attractiveness of municipal securities in relation to other investment alternatives is affected by changes in federal income tax rates or changes in the tax-exempt status of interest income from municipal securities. Any proposed or actual changes in such rates or exempt status, therefore, can significantly affect the demand for and supply, liquidity and marketability of municipal securities. This could in turn affect a Fund’s net asset value and ability to acquire and dispose of municipal securities at desirable yield and price levels. Additionally, these Funds would not be suitable investments for IRAs, other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for other investors who are not sensitive to the federal, state or local income tax consequences of their investments.
  Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund
AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund
 
Concentration Risk  — The risk that if a Fund invests more than 25% of its total assets in issuers within the same state, industry or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of a Fund’s investments more than if its investments were not so concentrated.

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Investment Style Risk — Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market and economic conditions as well as investor sentiment. A Fund may outperform or underperform other funds that employ a different investment style. Examples of different investment styles include growth and value investing. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investor perceptions of the issuing company’s growth of earnings potential. Growth companies are often expected by investors to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, investors can punish the stock inordinately even if earnings showed an absolute increase. Also, since growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, growth stocks may lack the dividends of some value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. Growth oriented funds will typically underperform when value investing is in favor. Value stocks are those that are undervalued in comparison to their peers due to adverse business developments or other factors.

Mid-Capitalization Risk — Risk is greater for the securities of mid-capitalization companies because they generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. The securities of mid- capitalization companies also may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than larger companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies, and a Fund may experience difficulty in purchasing or selling such securities at the desired time and price.

Foreign Risk — The risk that when a Fund invests in foreign securities, it will be subject to risk of loss not typically associated with domestic issuers. Loss may result because of less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions. A Fund will also be subject to the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations. Foreign risks will normally be greatest when a Fund invests in issuers located in emerging countries.

Emerging Countries Risk — The securities markets of Asian, Latin and South American, Eastern European, African and other emerging countries are less liquid, are especially subject to greater price volatility, have smaller market capitalizations, have less government regulation and are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements as the securities markets of more developed countries. Further, investment in equity securities of issuers located in certain emerging countries involves risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody and substantial economic and political disruptions. These risks are not normally associated with investments in more developed countries.

Sovereign Risk  — The risk that the issuer of the sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay the principal or interest when due. This risk includes, political, economic and repayment risks. Political risk is the risk associated with the general political and social environment of a country and includes, among other factors, government instability, poor socioeconomic conditions, corruption, lack of law and order, lack of democratic accountability, poor quality of the bureaucracy, internal and external conflict, and religious and ethnic tensions. High political risk can impede the economic welfare of a country. Economic risk is the risk associated with general economic conditions and includes, among other things, low quality and growth rate of gross domestic product (“GDP”), high inflation or deflation, high government deficits as a percentage of GDP, weak financial sector, overvalued exchange rate, and high current accounts deficits as a percentage of GDP. Repayment risk is the risk associated with the inability of a country to pay its external debt obligations in the immediate future and includes, among other items but are not limited to, high foreign debt as a percentage of GDP, high foreign debt service as a percentage of exports, and an unsustainable exchange rate structure.

Geographic Risk  — Concentration of investments in issuers located in a particular country or region will subject a Fund, to a greater extent than if investments were less concentrated, to the risk of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in that country or region.
  Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund
AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund
 
Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) Risk — The risk that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. When a Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of a Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because such investments would have a magnified impact on a Fund. As a Fund’s assets grow, the effect of a Fund’s investments in IPOs on a Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce a Fund’s performance.

“Junk Bond” Risk — Some Funds will invest in non-investment grade fixed-income securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) that are considered predominantly speculative by traditional standards. Non-investment grade fixed-income securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. These securities may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate or municipal developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of the junk bond markets generally and less secondary market liquidity.
  Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund
AXA Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund
 
Non-Hedging Foreign Currency Trading Risk — A Fund may engage, to a greater extent than other Funds, in forward foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes. A Fund’s investment adviser may purchase or sell foreign currencies through the use of forward contracts based on the investment adviser’s judgment regarding the direction of the market for a particular foreign currency or currencies. In pursuing this strategy, an investment adviser seeks to profit from anticipated movements in currency rates by establishing “long” and/or “short” positions in forward contracts on various foreign currencies. Foreign exchange rates can be extremely volatile and a variance in the degree of volatility of the market or in the direction of the market from the investment adviser’s expectations may produce significant losses to a Fund.

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Small Capitalization Risk  — The securities of small capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Securities of such issuers may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable a Fund to effect sales at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. Small-cap companies often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio. Generally, the smaller the company, the greater these risks.

  All AXA Enterprise Funds

Portfolio Turnover Risk  — High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs to a Fund, which may result in higher fund expenses and lower returns. The sale of portfolio securities also may result in the recognition of capital gain, which can create adverse tax results on shareholders when distributed to them, or loss. Depending on the frequency of sales, any such net gain will likely be short-term capital gain. Unlike long-term capital gain, short-term gain is taxable to individuals at the same rates as ordinary income.

Reasons for the Reorganizations and Board Considerations
      The Enterprise Trust Trustees, including the Independent Enterprise Trust Trustees, have determined that each Reorganization is in the best interest of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund involved therein, and that the interests of the current shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Enterprise Trust Trustees, including the Independent Enterprise Trust Trustees, also have considered and unanimously approved the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement. The following sets forth in greater detail the steps taken by the Enterprise Trust Trustees in arriving at these conclusions.
      Background. At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial and AXA Equitable (“AXA”) informed the Enterprise Trust Trustees that AXA had entered into an agreement with GSAM under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business and AXA would use its reasonable best efforts to effect the Reorganizations. AXA also informed the Enterprise Trust Trustees that, in consideration for these assets, the opportunity to manage additional assets after the proposed Reorganizations and covenants from AXA, including its assistance in facilitating the Reorganizations, GSAM agreed to pay AXA an amount based on the assets of each AXA Enterprise Fund at the time of its Reorganization. AXA then noted that the Reorganizations were subject to the approval of the Enterprise Trust Trustees and the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds, satisfactory completion of due diligence and execution of the Reorganization Agreement. AXA stated that it proposed to present the Reorganizations to the Enterprise Trust Trustees for their consideration and approval at meetings later in 2006 and noted that the Enterprise Trust Trustees would receive additional information regarding the Reorganizations in advance of such meetings.

179


 

      Board Considerations. In addition to the October 23 meeting, the Board also met on November 29 and December 28, 2006 to consider the proposed Reorganizations. The Independent Enterprise Trust Trustees, together with their independent legal counsel, also met in executive session at the October 23 and November 29 meetings to consider the Reorganizations. In connection with these meetings, the Enterprise Trust Trustees requested, and AXA and GSAM provided in advance of the meetings, detailed information about the proposed Reorganizations, including information regarding: (1) the reputation, financial strength and capabilities of GSAM and its affiliates; (2) GSAM’s experience with and capabilities managing mutual funds; (3) the investment objectives and policies of the GST Funds and their relative compatibility with those of the AXA Enterprise Funds; (4) the historical investment performance records of the GST Funds (or, with respect to the newly or recently organized GST Funds, the historical investment performance records of similar accounts), and the AXA Enterprise Funds, relative to each other; (5) the investment advisory and total expenses payable and paid by the GST Funds (including pro forma expense information), as compared with those of the AXA Enterprise Funds; (6) the qualifications and experience of the GSAM investment personnel managing the GST Funds; (7) Goldman Sachs’ distribution capabilities, the distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements (including Rule 12b-1 fees) and the sales charge structures of the GST Fund share classes, as compared with those of the AXA Enterprise Funds; (8) the reputation and capabilities of certain service providers for the GST Funds; (9) the current size of the GST Funds and the prospects for their future growth, as compared to the AXA Enterprise Funds; (10) alternatives to the Reorganization, including restructuring with different funds and liquidating the AXA Enterprise Funds; (11) the terms of the proposed Reorganization Agreement, including the anticipated tax-free nature of the transaction for the AXA Enterprise Funds and their shareholders and that the AXA Enterprise Funds would not bear any fees, expenses or explicit brokerage commissions in connection with the Reorganizations; and (12) potential benefits of the Reorganizations to AXA and GSAM and their respective affiliates. At each meeting, AXA representatives discussed, and the Independent Enterprise Trust Trustees reviewed (with the assistance of independent legal counsel), information regarding the Reorganizations. In addition, at the November 29, 2006 meeting, representatives of GSAM met with the Enterprise Trust Trustees to discuss GSAM, the GST Funds and the proposed Reorganizations.
      At the November 29, 2006 meeting, AXA and GSAM personnel were interviewed by the Board regarding GSAM, the GST Funds and the proposed Reorganizations. GSAM reviewed, among other things, information regarding its investment advisory business and the organizational and operational structure of the GSAM family of funds, including its various service providers. AXA and GSAM noted that GSAM serves as the investment adviser to the GST Funds and would continue to serve in that capacity after the Reorganizations. AXA and GSAM then reviewed GSAM’s investment advisory experience, capabilities and processes in managing funds with investment objectives and policies that are similar to the AXA Enterprise Funds. GSAM also reviewed the qualifications and experience of its portfolio managers for the GST Funds. AXA and GSAM also reviewed the experience and capabilities of the other service providers that provide services to the GST Funds.
      AXA and GSAM stated that the investment objectives, policies and strategies and principal risks of each AXA Enterprise Fund and its Corresponding GST Fund are similar. They also noted that each GST Fund is substantially larger than its corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, which would offer shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds greater opportunity for diversification of investments and economies of scale as shareholders of the GST Funds.
      AXA and GSAM also stated that it is expected that, while the advisory fees for certain GST Funds are higher than the corresponding AXA Enterprise Funds, the net annual operating expense ratio of each class of Shares of each GST Fund after the Reorganizations, except for the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund and the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, would be the same as or lower than that of the corresponding class of Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund. With respect to the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund, AXA and GSAM noted that it is expected that the net annual operating expense ratios of the Class A and Institutional Shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization are expected to be lower than those of the Class A and Class Y Shares, respectively, of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, and that it is expected that the net annual operating expense ratios of the Class B and Class C Shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization would be 10 basis points higher than those of the Class B and Class C Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund. With respect to the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, AXA and GSAM noted that it is expected that the net

180


 

annual operating expense ratio for each class of Shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization would be higher than that of the corresponding class of Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund. AXA and GSAM noted, however, that GSAM has agreed to cap the net annual operating expenses of the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) and ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio (Service, Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of each such GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of Shares of each such GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of Shares of such GST Fund as set forth in the annual operating expense table in this Proxy/ Prospectus. In addition, with respect to the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, GSAM and AXA noted that the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund into the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio would ensure that shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund continue to have a wide range of investment alternatives into which they would be permitted to exchange their money market investment without incurring any additional sales charges.
      GSAM also reviewed the performance of each GST Fund and its corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund for various periods ended September 30, 2006 and noted that the performance of each GST Fund generally was more favorable or compared reasonably to that of its corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, although there is no guarantee or assurance as to the future performance of the GST Funds. The Board noted, however, that the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio generally underperformed the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund primarily due to its higher expense ratio.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed with the Board the distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements for the GST Funds, including the sales load structures for each class of Shares. GSAM noted that the sales load structures generally are similar, except that Class A Shares of the GST Equity Funds are subject to a higher front-end sales load but a lower Rule 12b-1 fee than the AXA Enterprise Equity Funds. GSAM also noted that, unlike shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, shareholders of the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio (except Service Shares) are subject to sales charges upon purchase of Shares of the Portfolio and ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees. GSAM noted, however, that, unlike the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, there is no sales charge imposed on exchanges from the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio into Shares of the corresponding class of another GST Fund.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed with the Board the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement, noting that the Reorganizations are expected to be tax-free to each of the AXA Enterprise Funds and their respective shareholders. They also noted that AXA and GSAM would bear the costs associated with the Reorganizations, including the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the Reorganizations and the explicit brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions incurred in connection with the Reorganizations. They also noted that shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds would not pay any sales charges in connection with the Reorganizations.
      AXA and GSAM also noted that the interests of the shareholders would not be diluted by the Reorganizations because each Reorganization would be effected on the basis of each participating Fund’s net asset value.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed information regarding potential benefits of the Reorganizations to AXA and GSAM, respectively, including those under the purchase agreement between AXA and GSAM. They also noted that the Reorganizations were part of a larger set of reorganizations involving 14 funds of the Enterprise Trust, 12 funds of the Multimanager Trust and one fund of the Enterprise Group. AXA also noted that GSAM had agreed to use its best efforts to assure compliance with the conditions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser or any affiliated persons thereof to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a sale of securities of, or any other interest in, such adviser which results in an assignment of an investment advisory contract with an investment company as long as two conditions are met. First, no “unfair burden” may be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. As defined in the 1940 Act, the term “unfair burden” includes any arrangement during the two-year period after which such transaction occurs whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser) or any interested person of any such adviser receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services), or from any person in

181


 

connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter of the investment company). The Enterprise Trust Trustees were advised that AXA and GSAM were not aware of any circumstances relating to the Reorganizations that might result in the imposition of an “unfair burden” on any AXA Enterprise Fund. Second, during the three-year period immediately following the change of control, at least 75% of an investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” of the investment adviser or the predecessor investment adviser within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The GST Board of Trustees currently satisfies and intends to continue to satisfy this condition.
      At the Enterprise Trust Trustees meeting held on December 28, 2006, the Enterprise Trust Trustees reviewed additional information regarding the proposed Reorganizations. At that meeting, the Enterprise Trust Trustees determined that, based on the representations and information from AXA and GSAM, each Reorganization was in the best interest of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund involved therein, and that the interests of the current shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Enterprise Trust Trustees also considered and unanimously approved the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement. The Board’s conclusion as to each Reorganization was based on a number of factors, including the following:
  •  The Reorganizations will enable shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund to continue their investment in a GST Fund that has similar investment objectives, policies and risks as the AXA Enterprise Fund and which is part of a substantially larger, more diversified family of funds with increased potential for asset growth and the benefits of that growth resulting from economies of scale and greater portfolio diversification.
 
  •  GSAM has substantial experience, qualifications and capabilities in managing mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies as the AXA Enterprise Funds.
 
  •  The historical investment performance record of each GST Fund for the periods provided generally was more favorable or compared reasonably to that of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, although there is no guarantee or assurance as to the future performance of the GST Funds.
 
  •  The net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of each GST Fund after the Reorganizations, except for the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund and the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, are expected to be the same as or lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund.
 
  •  The net annual operating expense ratios of the Class A and Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund after the Reorganization are expected to be lower than those of the Class A and Class Y Shares, respectively, of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, and the net annual operating expense ratios of the Class B and Class C Shares of this GST Fund after the Reorganization are expected to be 10 basis points higher than those of the Class B and Class C Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund. In addition, GSAM has agreed to cap the net annual operating expenses of the Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization, as described above.
 
  •  Although the net annual operating expense ratio for each class of Shares of the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio after the Reorganization is expected to be higher than that of the corresponding class of Shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, the Reorganization would ensure that shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund continue to have a wide range of investment alternatives into which they would be permitted to exchange their money market investment after the Reorganization without incurring any additional sales charges. In addition, GSAM has agreed to cap the net annual operating expenses of the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio (Service, Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization, as described above.
 
  •  The distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements compare favorably to those of the AXA Enterprise Funds. In addition, as a result of the Reorganizations, each shareholder of an AXA Enterprise Fund would receive shares of a corresponding class of the corresponding GST Fund that has a similar sales charge and Rule 12b-1 fee structure. Although the Class A Shares of the GST Equity Funds

182


 

  generally have a higher front-end sales load than Class A Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Funds, the ongoing Rule 12b-1 fee for Class A Shares of the GST Funds is lower than that of the AXA Enterprise Funds.
 
  •  As a result of the Reorganizations, each shareholder invested in shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund would hold, immediately after the Reorganization, shares of the corresponding class of the corresponding GST Fund having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of those AXA Enterprise Fund Shares held immediately before the Effective Time of the Reorganization.
 
  •  Goldman Sachs has substantial distribution capabilities for the GST Funds, which is reasonably likely to lead to future growth of the GST Funds.
 
  •  The Reorganizations are expected to be tax-free for the AXA Enterprise Funds and their shareholders.
 
  •  The AXA Enterprise Funds would not bear any of the expenses of the proposed Reorganizations.

      On the basis of the foregoing and other representations and information provided to it and its evaluation of those representations and information, the Enterprise Trust Trustees, including the Independent Enterprise Trust Trustees, voted unanimously to approve the Reorganization Agreement with respect to each AXA Enterprise Fund and to recommend that the shareholders also approve the Reorganizations.
The Reorganization Agreement
      The following summary of the Reorganization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement attached to this Proxy/ Prospectus as Appendix A.
      The Reorganization Agreement provides that with respect to each AXA Enterprise Fund: (1) all of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s assets will be acquired, and all of its liabilities (other than those liabilities specifically excluded under the Reorganization Agreement) will be assumed, by its Corresponding GST Fund in exchange for Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares (except in the case of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund), and Institutional Shares (or in the case of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, ILA Service Shares, ILA B Shares or ILA C Shares (as shown in the chart appearing in the “Summary” section above)) (collectively, “GST Shares”), (2) such GST shares will be distributed to the shareholders of the corresponding share class of the AXA Enterprise Fund, and (3) the AXA Enterprise Fund will liquidate.
      Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described below, each Reorganization is scheduled to occur immediately before the opening of business on April 30, 2007 or on a later date as the parties may agree (the “Effective Time of the Reorganization”).
      Generally, with respect to each Reorganization and except as noted immediately below, each shareholder of an AXA Enterprise Fund will receive the number of full and fractional (to the third decimal place) Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares or Institutional Shares of its Corresponding GST Fund equal in value to the value of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares or Class Y Shares, respectively of the AXA Enterprise Fund, held as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the business day preceding the Effective Time of the Reorganization or other agreed upon time and date (the “Valuation Time”), except that (i) shareholders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares or Class Y Shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund will receive ILA Service Shares, ILA B Shares, ILA C Shares and ILA Service Shares, respectively, of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio and (ii) shareholders of Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Fund will receive Class A Shares of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund. Immediately upon receipt of GST Fund shares, each AXA Enterprise Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the Valuation Time in complete liquidation thereof the shares of the Corresponding GST Fund received by such AXA Enterprise Fund in the Reorganization.
      Each such distribution by an AXA Enterprise Fund will be accomplished by the transfer of the Corresponding GST Fund’s shares then credited to the account of the AXA Enterprise Fund on the Corresponding GST Fund’s share records to open accounts on those share records in the names of the record shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund. The aggregate net asset values of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares

183


 

(Class A Shares in the case of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund) and Institutional Shares (or ILA Service Shares, ILA B Shares, ILA C Shares and ILA Service Shares in the case of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio) of the Corresponding GST Fund to be credited to the accounts of each AXA Enterprise Fund’s shareholders will be equal to the aggregate net asset values of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class Y Shares respectively, of the AXA Enterprise Fund owned by such shareholders at the Valuation Time. All issued and outstanding shares of each AXA Enterprise Fund will simultaneously be canceled on its share records.
      Under the Reorganization Agreement, Enterprise Trust and GST will not bear any fees, expenses or explicit brokerage commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement. All of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out those transactions will be paid by AXA Equitable or GSAM (or any affiliate thereof).
      The Reorganization Agreement provides that each GST Fund will assume all obligations of its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund to indemnify the Independent Trustees against all liabilities and expenses to the extent provided by Enterprise Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-laws.
      The Reorganization Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties made by Enterprise Trust to GST related to, among other things, its legal status, compliance with laws and regulations and financial position (section 4.1) and similar representations and warranties made by GST to Enterprise Trust (section 4.2). The Reorganization Agreement contains a number of conditions precedent that must occur before either Enterprise Trust or GST is obligated to proceed with any of the Reorganizations (Article VI). These include, among others, that: (1) the shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement with respect thereto; (2) Enterprise Trust receives from GST’s legal counsel, and GST receives from Enterprise Trust’s legal counsel, certain opinions supporting the representations and warranties made by each party regarding legal status and compliance with laws and regulations (including an opinion from GST’s counsel that the shares issued in the Reorganizations will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable); (3) both Enterprise Trust and GST receive from GST’s counsel the tax opinion discussed below under “Federal Income Tax Consequences;” and (4) both Enterprise Trust and GST receive certain certificates from the other’s officers concerning the continuing accuracy of its representations and warranties made in the Reorganization Agreement.
      The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated and the Reorganizations abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time of the Reorganizations by: (1) the mutual written consent of Enterprise Trust and GST; or (2) either Enterprise Trust or GST (a) following any material breach by the other of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Reorganization Agreement, if such breach is not cured within 10 business days; (b) if any applicable condition precedent is not satisfied by December 31, 2007; (c) upon the occurrence of an event that has a material adverse effect upon the other or a Fund thereof; (d) if the Effective Time does not occur by December 31, 2007; or (e) following a determination by its Board that the consummation of the Reorganizations are not in the best interest of its shareholders.
      Approval of each Reorganization requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the relevant AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. See the section of this Proxy/ Prospectus entitled “Voting Information” for more information.
      The Reorganization Agreement provides that the failure of any AXA Enterprise Fund to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Reorganization Agreement will not affect the consummation of the Reorganization of any other AXA Enterprise Fund.
      At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into the GST Funds, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, one additional portfolio of the Enterprise Group and twelve portfolios of Multimanager Trust will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. In this regard, it is proposed that (1) the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund of the Multimanager Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; (2) the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund of the Multimanager Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund; and (3) the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund of Enterprise Group be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. Separate combined proxy

184


 

statement/ prospectuses are being mailed to shareholders of those AXA Enterprise Funds. The Reorganizations will be completed whether or not the reorganizations of the Enterprise Group or Multimanager Trust portfolios are completed. However, no Reorganization of any AXA Enterprise Fund will be consummated until either (i) shareholders of all AXA Enterprise Funds of the Enterprise Trust approve the Reorganization Agreement or (ii) shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds with combined total assets under management of at least $1,000,000,000 approve the Reorganization Agreement. Under certain circumstances detailed in the Reorganization Agreement, an AXA Enterprise Fund reorganization involving one or more AXA Enterprise Funds may be consummated with a lesser amount of combined total assets under management.
      The Reorganization Agreement also provides that in order to facilitate the transfer of the assets of the AXA Enterprise Funds at the Effective Time of a Reorganization, GSAM may request that AXA Equitable use its commercially reasonable best efforts, subject to its fiduciary duty and that of the investment sub-adviser to the applicable AXA Enterprise Fund, to limit or cease portfolio trading on behalf of that AXA Enterprise Fund for a period of up to three days prior to the Valuation Time of the Reorganization.
      Although each AXA Enterprise Fund has a similar investment objective and principal strategies to its Corresponding GST Fund, some of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings may not be permissible portfolio holdings of its Corresponding GST Fund. Therefore, some portion of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings may be sold prior to or immediately following its Reorganization. In addition, GSAM anticipates selling a portion of certain AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings shortly after its Reorganization. To the extent that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings are sold prior to its Reorganization, the proceeds of such sales will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that the Corresponding GST Fund may hold. The possible need for a Fund to dispose of certain portfolio investments in connection with its Reorganization could result in selling such investments at a disadvantageous time and price. The sale of securities either prior to its Reorganization or shortly thereafter could result in the AXA Enterprise Fund or its Corresponding GST Fund realizing gains (which may be taxable) or losses that would not otherwise have been realized but for the Reorganization. Such a sale of assets and the reinvestment of the proceeds would involve brokerage and other transactional costs. In that event, GSAM will pay the explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the either Fund in connection with the Reorganizations.
      If the Reorganizations are approved, AXA Enterprise Fund shareholders who do not wish to have their AXA Enterprise Fund shares exchanged for shares of a Corresponding GST Fund as part of the Reorganizations should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Reorganizations. If you redeem your shares, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them. In addition, if you redeem your shares prior to the Reorganizations and your shares are subject to a CDSC, your redemption proceeds will be reduced by any applicable sales charge.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
      Shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization will receive full and/or fractional Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares (except in the case of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund) and Institutional Shares (or ILA Service Shares, ILA Class B Shares or ILA Class C Shares in the case of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio) of the respective Corresponding GST Fund in accordance with the procedures provided for in the Reorganization Agreement, as described above. The GST Fund shares to be issued in connection with each Reorganization will be fully paid and non-assessable when issued, and will have no preemptive or conversion rights (except that Class B Shares or ILA Class B Shares in the case of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligation Portfolio) of each GST Fund convert to Class A Shares (or ILA Service Shares in the case of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligation Portfolio) of the same Fund approximately eight years after purchase). The rights of shareholders of Enterprise Trust and GST are comparable. For more information see “Comparison of Enterprise Trust’s and GST’s Charter Documents” below and — “Comparison of Shareholder Transactions and Services of the AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds” in Appendix D.

185


 

Federal Income Tax Consequences
      The exchange of each AXA Enterprise Fund’s assets for the Corresponding GST Fund’s shares and its assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of the AXA Enterprise Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. As a condition to the closing of each Reorganization, Enterprise Trust and GST will receive the opinion of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, counsel to GST, to the effect that on the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings and pronouncements and court decisions, and certain facts, qualifications, assumptions and representations, for federal income tax purposes:
  (1) each Reorganization will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund will be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;
 
  (2) each AXA Enterprise Fund will recognize no gain or loss (a) upon the transfer of its assets to the Corresponding GST Fund in exchange for that GST Fund’s shares and the assumption of the liabilities of the AXA Enterprise Fund, and (b) upon the distribution of those shares to the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund;
 
  (3) each GST Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund in exchange for shares of such GST Fund and the assumption of the liabilities of such AXA Enterprise Fund;
 
  (4) the tax basis in the hands of each GST Fund of each asset of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund transferred to such GST Fund in their Reorganization will be the same as the basis of that asset in the hands of such AXA Enterprise Fund immediately before the transfer;
 
  (5) the holding period of each asset of each AXA Enterprise Fund in the hands of the Corresponding GST Fund will include the period during which that asset was held by such AXA Enterprise Fund;
 
  (6) the shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon their receipt of shares of the Corresponding GST Fund;
 
  (7) the aggregate tax basis of the GST Fund shares received by each shareholder of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund will equal the aggregate tax basis of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor;
 
  (8) the holding period of the GST Fund shares received by each AXA Enterprise Fund shareholder will include the holding period of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the AXA Enterprise Fund shares are held by that shareholder as capital assets on the date of the exchange; and
 
  (9) each GST Fund will succeed to and take into account the tax attributes of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
      Shares held for the purpose of investment are generally considered to be capital assets.
      Neither Enterprise Trust nor GST has sought a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS nor does it preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary position.
      At or before the Valuation Time, each AXA Enterprise Fund (except the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, Small Company Growth Fund and Small Company Value Fund) will pay a dividend that, together with all previous dividends, will have the effect of distributing to its shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for all taxable periods or years ending at or before the Effective Time of a Reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, after reduction for any capital loss carry-forwards recognized in those periods or years. Any

186


 

such dividends will generally be included in the taxable income of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s shareholders. The sale of securities by an AXA Enterprise Fund prior to its Reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business or in anticipation of the Reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution made by the AXA Enterprise Fund prior to its Reorganization.
      As a result of the Reorganizations, each GST Fund will succeed to the tax attributes of its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, except that the amount of capital loss carryforwards of an AXA Enterprise Fund that a Corresponding GST Fund (other than a newly organized shell GST Fund) may use to offset capital gains it recognizes after its Reorganization will be subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. In general, the limitation for each taxable year will equal the sum of (1) the product of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization (the “AXA Enterprise Fund’s NAV”) multiplied by the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (which is a market-based rate published by the IRS each month) for the month in which the Effective Time occurs plus (2) the amount of any net unrealized built-in gain of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization that the GST Fund recognizes in any taxable year all or part of which is in the period through the fifth anniversary of the Reorganization (as long as the amount of net unrealized built-in gain is greater than the lesser of (i) 15% of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s NAV or (ii) $10,000,000). (The annual limitation will be proportionately reduced for the portion of the GST Fund’s current taxable year after the Effective Time of the Reorganization and for any subsequent short taxable year.
      Certain GST Funds anticipate selling portions of the portfolio holdings received from AXA Enterprise Funds after the Reorganizations. The sale of these securities after the Reorganizations will result in those GST Funds recognizing gains and/or losses that they would not otherwise have realized were it not for the Reorganizations. If the net effect of these additional gains and/or losses is an increase in a GST Fund’s net short-term or long-term capital gain for the current calendar year and/or fiscal year, the amount of its taxable distributions to shareholders may likely be increased.
      Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning the potential tax consequences of each Reorganization to them, including foreign, state and local tax consequences.
Comparison of Enterprise Trust’s and GST’s Charter Documents
      Both Enterprise Trust and GST are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. Their operations are governed by their respective Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-laws and applicable Delaware law. The operations of both Enterprise Trust and GST are also subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and applicable state securities laws. In general, the charter documents governing Enterprise Trust are similar to those documents governing GST. The attributes of a share of beneficial interest of Enterprise Trust and GST are also comparable. The following is only a summary of certain of the differences between Enterprise Trust and its Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Enterprise Trust Charter”), on the one hand, and GST and its Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “GST Charter”), on the other. It is not a complete list of differences.
Trustees of Enterprise Trust and GST
      Subject to the provisions of the GST Charter, the operations of GST are supervised by GST’s Trustees and, subject to the provisions of the Enterprise Trust Charter, the operations of Enterprise Trust are supervised by the Enterprise Trust Trustees. The responsibilities, powers and fiduciary duties of the GST Trustees are substantially the same as those of the Enterprise Trust Trustees. The GST Charter permits GST’s Board of Trustees to remove a GST Trustee with or without cause at any time by a written instrument signed by at least a majority of the then Trustees specifying the effective date of removal or by the vote of holders of shares of beneficial interest of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of GST at a meeting of the shareholders.
      The Enterprise Trust Charter permits the Enterprise Trust Trustees to remove an Enterprise Trust Trustee with or without cause at any time by a written instrument signed by at least two-thirds of the other Trustees,

187


 

specifying the effective date of removal or by the vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Enterprise Trust at a meeting of the shareholders.
      Both the Enterprise Trust Charter and GST Charter permit the Enterprise Trust Trustees or the GST Trustees, as applicable, to amend the respective Charter documents without a shareholder vote. However, shareholders of the GST Trust have the right to vote on any amendment: (1) that would adversely affect the voting rights of shareholders; (2) that is required by law to be approved by shareholders; (3) that would amend the provisions of the GST Charter regarding amendments thereto; or (4) that the GST Trustees determine to submit to shareholders.
      Shareholders of Enterprise Trust have the right to vote on any amendment: (1) that would affect the voting rights of shareholders granted in Article V of the Enterprise Trust Charter; (2) that would amend the provisions of the Enterprise Trust Charter regarding amendments to the Charter; (3) that is required by applicable law or by the Enterprise Trust’s registration statement; or (4) that the Enterprise Trust Trustees determine to submit to shareholders.
Liability and Indemnification of Enterprise Trust and GST Trustees
      To protect the GST Trustees against certain liabilities, the GST Charter provides that if the GST Trustees have exercised reasonable care and have acted under reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interests of GST, the GST Trustees shall not be responsible or liable for any action or omission or for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee, investment adviser or independent contractor of GST, however; nothing in the GST Charter protects a GST Trustee against any liability to GST or its shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
      In addition, the GST Charter provides for indemnification of Trustees, officers, employees and agents of GST unless the recipient is adjudicated: (1) to be liable by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office; or (2) not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such person’s actions were in the best interest of GST.
      The Enterprise Trust Charter has similar liability and indemnification provisions.
Shareholder Liability
      Under Delaware law, shareholders generally are not personally liable for the obligations of a Delaware statutory trust. A shareholder is entitled to the same limitation of liability extended to stockholders of private, for-profit corporations. Similar statutory or other authority, however, limiting shareholder liability does not exist in certain states. As a result, to the extent that Enterprise Trust or GST or a shareholder of either is subject to the jurisdiction of courts to those states, the courts may not apply Delaware law, thereby subjecting the shareholder to liability. To guard against this risk, the Enterprise Trust Charter and the GST Charter: (1) contain an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of each AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund; and (2) provide for indemnification out of such Enterprise Trust and GST Fund’s property, as applicable, for any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of an applicable Fund. In addition, notice of disclaimer of shareholder liability will normally be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by a GST Fund, GST, AXA Enterprise Fund and/or Enterprise Trust. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment because of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which: (1) a court refuses to apply Delaware law; (2) no contractual limitation of liability is in effect; and (3) the applicable Fund is unable to meet its obligations to indemnify a shareholder. In light of Delaware law, the nature of the AXA Enterprise Funds’ and GST Funds’ businesses and the nature of their assets, Enterprise Trust’s and GST’s respective Board of Trustees believes that the risk of personal liability to a shareholder is extremely remote.

Voting Rights of Shareholders of Enterprise Trust and GST
      Neither Enterprise Trust nor GST is required to hold annual meetings of shareholders and Enterprise Trust and GST do not intend to hold such meetings. In the event that a meeting of shareholders is held, each share of GST will be entitled, as determined by the GST Trustees without the vote or consent of shareholders, either to one vote for each share or to one vote for each dollar of net asset value represented by such shares on all matters presented to shareholders including the election of GST Trustees (this method of voting being referred to as “dollar based voting”). However, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or otherwise determined by the GST Trustees, series and classes of GST will vote separately from each other. Shareholders of GST do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of Trustees. Meetings of shareholders of GST, or any series or class thereof, may be called by the GST Trustees, certain officers or upon the written request of holders of 10% or more of the shares entitled to vote at such meetings. The GST Trustees will call a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees if, at any time, less than a majority of Trustees holding office at the time were elected by shareholders. The GST Charter provides that the shareholders have the power to, vote only with respect to: (1) the election of GST Trustees to the extent and as provided therein; (2) the removal of Trustees as provided therein; (3) any matter required to be approved by the shareholders under the 1940 Act; (4) the termination of GST under certain circumstances as provided therein; (5) certain amendments of the GST Charter; and (6) with respect to such additional matters relating to GST as may be required or authorized by law, the GST Charter or the GST By-laws or any registration of GST with the SEC or any state, or as the GST Trustees may consider desirable.
      Similarly, a shareholder meeting may be called by the Enterprise Trust Trustees for the purpose of electing Trustees, for such other purposes as may be prescribed by law, the Enterprise Trust Charter or the By-laws or for any other matter deemed by the Enterprise Trust Trustees to be necessary or desirable. The Enterprise Trust Charter provides that its shareholders shall have the power to vote only: (1) for the election of Trustees to the extent and as provided therein; (2) the removal of Trustees to the extent and as provided therein; (3) the termination of the Enterprise Trust to the extent and as provided therein; (4) the amendments of the Enterprise Trust Charter to the extent and as provided therein; and (5) such additional matters relating to the Enterprise Trust as may be required or authorized by law, the Enterprise Trust Charter, or the By-laws or any registration of the Enterprise Trust with the SEC or any State, or as the Enterprise Trust Trustees may consider desirable. The shareholder of record of such share is entitled to one vote for each full share and a fractional vote for each fractional share. Shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of Trustees or on any other matter.
      Except when a larger vote is required by law, both the Enterprise Trust Charter and GST Charter require the holders of one-third of the shares entitled to vote to establish a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders. In addition, both the Enterprise Trust Charter and GST Charter provide that, except when a larger vote is required by law, by the respective GST Charter or Enterprise Trust Charter, or by the respective By-laws of GST or Enterprise Trust, the holders of shares representing a majority of votes present and entitled to be cast at a shareholders’ meeting in person or by proxy on the matter shall decide that matter except that a plurality of votes cast shall elect a trustee.
Termination of Enterprise Trust/ GST and its Series or Classes
      The GST Charter permits the termination of GST or any series or class of GST: (1) by a majority of the affected shareholders at a meeting of shareholders of GST, series or class; or (2) by a majority of the GST Trustees without shareholder approval if the GST Trustees determine, in their sole discretion, that such action is in the best interest of GST, such series, such class or their shareholders.
      Similarly, the Enterprise Trust Charter provides that the Enterprise Trust may be terminated at any time by: (1) a vote of a majority of the shares of each series entitled to vote, voting separately by series; or (2) by the Enterprise Trust Trustees by written notice to the shareholders. Any series or class may be terminated at any time by: (1) a vote of a majority of the shares of such series or class entitled to vote; or (2) by the Enterprise Trust Trustees by written notice to the shareholders of such series or class.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE AXA ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND GST FUNDS
Investment Advisers and Advisory Fee Information
      The GST Funds, except for the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, are managed on a day-to-day basis by GSAM. GSAMI manages the Strategic International Equity Fund on a day-to-day basis. GSAM and GSAMI will continue to manage the GST Funds after the Reorganization. As of                     , 2006, GSAM and GSAMI had assets under management of approximately $                billion.
      AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, currently serves as investment adviser to each AXA Enterprise Fund of the Enterprise Trust.

Fund’s net asset value is determined and the dividend and distribution policies for the Funds, is summarized in Appendix D and is described in detail in each Fund’s prospectus.
Financial Highlights
      The following financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand each GST Fund’s financial performance for the past five years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single GST Fund share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in GST Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information for the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligation Portfolio has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The information for the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund, Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s and Ernst & Young LLP’s reports along with such GST Fund’s financial statements, are included in each GST Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request without charge. The financial highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2006 with respect to the GST Funds are unaudited. No financial highlights tables are presented for the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity, Structured Small Cap Growth and Structured Small Cap Value Funds because the accounting survivor of the respective GST Funds will be the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund and AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund.

VOTING INFORMATION
General Information
      The Enterprise Trust Trustees are furnishing this Proxy/ Prospectus in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. Officers and service contractors of Enterprise Trust and GST may also solicit proxies by telephone or otherwise. In this connection, Enterprise Trust may retain                     to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Any expenses incurred as a result of hiring                     will not be borne by Enterprise Trust or an AXA Enterprise Fund but by AXA Equitable or GSAM (or any affiliate thereof). It is estimated that the cost associated with using                     as a proxy solicitor will be approximately $          . Shareholders may vote: (1) by mail, by marking, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy ballot(s) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, (2) by touch-tone voting, or (3) by on-line voting. Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by submitting to Enterprise Trust a written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person.

215


 

      Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. On that date, the following AXA Enterprise Fund Shares were outstanding and entitled to be voted:
         
    Shares Outstanding and
Enterprise Trust   Entitled to Vote
     
AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Deep Value Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Equity Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Equity Income Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Fund
       
AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Government Securities Fund
       
AXA Enterprise High-Yield Bond Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund
       
      Each whole and fractional share of an AXA Enterprise Fund is entitled to a whole or fractional vote, as the case may be.
      The votes of the shareholders of the GST Funds are not being solicited since their approval or consent is not necessary for the Reorganizations to take place.
      If an accompanying proxy is executed and returned in time for the Special Meeting, the shares covered thereby will be voted in accordance with the proxy on all matters that may properly come before the Special Meeting.
Shareholder and Board Approvals
      The Reorganization Agreement is being submitted for approval by AXA Enterprise Funds’ shareholders at the Special Meeting, and was unanimously approved by the Enterprise Trust Trustees at a meeting held on December 28, 2006. Enterprise Trust shareholders will vote on the Reorganization Agreement on a fund by fund basis. One-third of the shares of each AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting. Approval of each Reorganization requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the relevant AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A vote for the Reorganization Agreement includes a vote for the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds; conversely, a vote against the Reorganization Agreement is a vote against the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds. The Reorganization Agreement provides that in the event the Reorganization Agreement is approved with respect to less than all of the AXA Enterprise Funds, the failure of an AXA Enterprise Fund to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement shall not affect the consummation or validity of the Reorganization with respect to any other AXA Enterprise Fund. Accordingly, it is possible that if a shareholder owns shares in two or more AXA Enterprise Funds and one of the AXA Enterprise Funds does not approve the Reorganization, then the shareholder of the particular AXA Enterprise Fund which did not approve the Reorganization would remain a shareholder of that AXA Enterprise Fund. However, with respect to the AXA Enterprise Funds that approve the Reorganization, the shareholder of those particular AXA Enterprise Funds at the Effective Time of the Reorganization would become a shareholder of the Corresponding GST Funds.

216


 

Quorum and Adjournment
      In the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, one or more adjournment(s) may be proposed to permit further solicitation of proxies. In determining whether to adjourn the Special Meeting with respect to a proposal, the following factors may be considered: the percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative votes cast, the nature of any further solicitation and the information to be provided to owners with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Generally, votes cast in favor of a proposal will be voted in favor of adjournment while votes cast against a proposal will be voted against adjournment.
      Any adjourned session or sessions may be held after the date set for the original Special Meeting without notice except announcement at the Special Meeting or other reasonable notice to persons present at the Special Meeting and the adjourned meeting is held within a reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting as determined by the Enterprise Trust’s officers. Any such adjournment(s) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares affected by the adjournment(s) that are represented at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. A shareholder vote may be taken with respect to one or more AXA Enterprise Funds (but not the other AXA Enterprise Funds) on some or all matters before any such adjournment(s) if a quorum is present and sufficient votes have been received for approval with respect to such AXA Enterprise Funds.
      A quorum is constituted with respect to an AXA Enterprise Fund by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of 331/3% of the shares of such AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Special Meeting, abstentions will be treated as shares that are present at the Special Meeting but which have not been voted. Abstentions will have the effect of a “no” vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approvals of the Reorganization Agreement. Broker “non-votes” (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will have the same effect as abstentions.
Principal Shareholders
      As of February 12, 2007, the Officers and Trustees of the Enterprise Trust as a group owned or controlled less than 1% of each AXA Enterprise Fund’s outstanding shares. As of February 12, 2007, the officers and Trustees of GST as a group owned or controlled less than 1% of each GST Fund’s outstanding shares. The following table sets forth the name, address and share ownership of each person known to AXA Enterprise Fund to have ownership with respect to 5% or more of a class of an AXA Enterprise Fund as of February 12, 2007. The type of ownership of each entry listed on the table is record ownership. The percentage of the Corresponding GST Fund other than the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund and AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund that would be owned by the below named shareholders upon consummation of the Reorganization is expected to decline.

      For purposes of the 1940 Act, any person who owns directly or through one or more controlled companies more than 25% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to “control” such company. Accordingly, to the extent that a shareholder identified in the foregoing table is identified as the beneficial holder of more than 25% of a class, or is identified as the holder of record of more than 25% of a class and has voting and/or investment power, it may be presumed to control such class.
      Enterprise Trust and GST have been advised by AXA Equitable that the Shares of each AXA Enterprise Fund over which AXA Equitable and its affiliates have voting power will be voted by AXA Equitable either for or against approval of the Reorganization Agreement with respect to an AXA Enterprise Fund, or as an abstention, in the same proportion as the Shares held by other shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting are voted.

Legal Proceedings
      On April 2, 2004, Lois Burke, a plaintiff identifying herself as a shareholder of the Goldman Sachs Internet Tollkeeper Fund, filed a purported class and derivative action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Goldman Sachs, GSAM, the Trustees and Officers of GST, and John Doe Defendants. In addition, certain other investment portfolios of GST were named as nominal defendants. On April 19 and May 6, 2004, additional class and derivative action lawsuits containing substantially similar allegations and requests for redress were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 29, 2004, the three complaints were consolidated into one action, In re Goldman Sachs Mutual Funds Fee Litigation, and on November 17, 2004, the plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaint against Goldman Sachs, GSAM, GSAMI, the Trustees and Officers of GST and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (“GSVIT”) and John Doe Defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Certain investment portfolios of GST and GSVIT (collectively, the “Goldman Funds”) were named as nominal defendants in the amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on April 15, 2005.
      The second amended consolidated complaint, which is brought on behalf of all persons or entities who held shares in the Goldman Funds between April 2, 1999 and January 9, 2004, inclusive (the “Class Period”), asserts claims involving (i) violations of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, (ii) common law breach of fiduciary duty, and (iii) unjust enrichment. The complaint alleges, among other things, that during the Class Period, the Defendants made improper and excessive brokerage commission and other payments to brokers that sold shares of the Goldman Funds and omitted statements of fact in registration statements and reports filed pursuant to the 1940 Act which were necessary to prevent such registration statements and reports from being materially false and misleading. In addition, the complaint alleges that the Goldman Funds paid excessive and improper investment advisory fees to GSAM and GSAMI. The complaint also alleges that GSAM and GSAMI used Rule 12b-1 fees for improper purposes and made improper use of soft dollars. The complaint further alleges that GST’s Officers and Trustees breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the foregoing. The plaintiffs in the cases are seeking compensatory damages; rescission of GSAM’s and GSAMI’s investment advisory agreements and return of fees paid; an accounting of all Goldman Funds-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. On January 13, 2006, all claims against the Defendants were dismissed by the U.S. District Court. On February 22, 2006, the plaintiffs appealed this decision. By agreement, plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their appeal without prejudice but reserved their right to reactivate their appeal pending a decision by the circuit court of appeals in similar litigation.
      Based on currently available information, GSAM and GSAMI believe that the likelihood that the pending purported class and derivative action lawsuit will have a material adverse financial impact on the Sachs Goldman Funds is remote, and the pending action is not likely to materially affect their ability to provide investment management services to their clients, including the Goldman Funds.

A-1


 

sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties, and AXA, GSAM and GSAMI to the extent indicated above, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE REORGANIZATION AND FUND TRANSACTIONS
      1.1 The Reorganization and Fund Transactions. In accordance with Title 12 of the Delaware Code (the “Delaware Law”) and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and by-laws, as they may be amended from time to time, of Enterprise Trust (“Enterprise Governing Documents”), at the Effective Time (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, Enterprise Trust shall assign, deliver and otherwise transfer all of the Fund Assets of each Enterprise Fund, subject to all of the Liabilities of such Enterprise Fund, to GST on behalf of the GST Fund set forth opposite such Enterprise Fund on Exhibit A attached hereto (each such Enterprise Fund and its corresponding GST Fund, a “Transaction Party” of the other), and GST shall assume all of the Liabilities of each Enterprise Fund on behalf of its GST Fund Transaction Party. In consideration of the foregoing, GST shall, on behalf of each GST Fund, at the Effective Time deliver to Enterprise Trust on behalf of each Enterprise Fund set forth opposite such GST Fund on Exhibit A, full and fractional (to the third decimal place) Institutional shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares (ILA Service shares, ILA B shares and ILA C shares, in the case of the ILA Portfolio) of such GST Fund. The number of shares of each such class of each such GST Fund shall be determined as set forth in paragraph 2.3 by dividing (a) the value of the Fund Assets attributable to the class of its Enterprise Fund Transaction Party set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A attached hereto, net of such Enterprise Fund’s Known Liabilities attributable to such class (computed as of the Valuation Time (as defined below) in the manner set forth in paragraph 2.1), by (b) the net asset value of one share of such class of such GST Fund (computed as of the Valuation Time in the manner set forth in paragraph 2.2). (Each such transaction between an Enterprise Fund and its GST Fund Transaction Party is hereinafter referred to as a “Fund Transaction”). At and after the Effective Time, all of the Fund Assets of each Enterprise Fund shall become and be included in the Fund Assets of its GST Fund Transaction Party and the Liabilities of each Enterprise Fund shall become and be the Liabilities of and shall attach to its GST Fund Transaction Party. At and after the Effective Time, the Liabilities of each Enterprise Fund may be enforced only against its GST Fund Transaction Party to the same extent as if such Liabilities had been incurred by such GST Fund Transaction Party subject to any defense and/or set off that Enterprise Trust or such Enterprise Fund was entitled to assert immediately prior to the Effective Time and further subject to any defense and/or setoff that GST or a GST Fund may from time to time be entitled to assert.
      1.2 Enterprise Fund Assets.
           (a) At least fifteen Business Days prior to the Valuation Time, Enterprise Trust will provide GST with a schedule of the securities and other assets and Known Liabilities of each Enterprise Fund. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, GST has provided Enterprise Trust with a copy of the current investment objective, investment policies, principal investment strategies, and restrictions applicable to each GST Fund (including restrictions applicable to GSAM arising as a result of the investment activities of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its Affiliates for proprietary accounts and other clients) and GST will provide Enterprise Trust with a written notice of any changes thereto until the Valuation Time. Enterprise Trust reserves the right to sell any of the securities or other assets shown on the list for any Enterprise Fund prior to the Valuation Time but will not, without the prior approval of GST, acquire any additional securities other than securities which the Enterprise Fund’s Transaction Party may purchase in accordance with its stated investment objective and policies.
           (b) At least ten Business Days prior to the Valuation Time, GST will advise Enterprise Trust of any investments of an Enterprise Fund shown on the Enterprise Fund’s schedule provided pursuant to paragraph (a) which the Enterprise Fund Transaction Party would not be permitted to hold (i) under its investment objective, principal investment strategies or investment restrictions; (ii) under applicable Law; or (iii) because the transfer of such investments would result in material operational or administrative difficulties to GST in connection with facilitating the orderly transition of the Enterprise Fund’s Fund Assets. Under such circumstances, to the extent practicable, Enterprise Trust will, if requested by GST and, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own

A-2


 

investment objectives and policies and the fiduciary duties of the investment sub-adviser responsible for the portfolio management of the Enterprise Fund, dispose of such investments prior to the Valuation Time. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of two Transaction Parties, when aggregated, would contain investments exceeding certain percentage limitations to which an Existing GST Fund is or will be subject with respect to such investments, Enterprise Trust will, if requested by GST and, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies and the fiduciary duties of AXA or the investment sub-adviser responsible for the portfolio management of the Enterprise Fund, dispose of and/or reinvest a sufficient amount of such investments as may be necessary to avoid violating such limitations as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will require an Enterprise Fund to dispose of any portfolio securities or other investments, if, in the reasonable judgment of the Enterprise Funds’ Board or Enterprise Trust’s investment adviser, such disposition would adversely affect the tax-free nature of the Reorganization for federal income tax purposes or would otherwise not be in the best interests of an Enterprise Fund.
      1.3 Assumption of Liabilities. Enterprise Trust will, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies, use its best efforts to discharge all of the Known Liabilities of each Enterprise Fund prior to or at the Effective Time. GST, on behalf of each GST Fund, will assume all of the Liabilities of the Enterprise Fund Transaction Party of such GST Fund. If prior to the Effective Time either Party identifies a Liability that the Parties mutually agree should not be assumed by GST, such Liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Parties at the Closing (the “Excluded Liabilities”). Certain Liabilities that would otherwise be listed as Excluded Liabilities may be assumed by GST on the condition that GST and the GST Funds be indemnified in writing to their reasonable satisfaction by AXA against any and all losses, claims, damages or liability that GST and the GST Funds may become subject to as a result of assuming such Liability. GST shall not assume any Liability for any obligation of Enterprise Trust to file reports with the SEC, Internal Revenue Service or other regulatory or tax authority covering any reporting period ending prior to or at the Effective Time with respect to Enterprise Trust or any Enterprise Fund.
      1.4 Distribution of GST Shares. Immediately upon receipt, Enterprise Trust, on behalf of each Enterprise Fund, will distribute the Institutional shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares (Class A shares in lieu of Class C shares, in the case of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund) (ILA Service shares, ILA Service shares, ILA B shares, and ILA C shares, in the case of the ILA Portfolio) of such Enterprise Fund’s Transaction Party received by Enterprise Trust from GST pursuant to paragraph 1.1 (the “GST Shares”), pro rata to the record holders of the Class Y shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares, respectively, of such Enterprise Fund determined as of the Valuation Time in complete liquidation of such Enterprise Fund. Such distribution will be accomplished by an instruction, signed by an appropriate officer of Enterprise Trust, to transfer the GST Shares then credited to each Enterprise Fund’s account on the Books and Records of GST and to open accounts on the Books and Records of GST established and maintained by GST’s transfer agent in the names of record holders of each class of shares of such Enterprise Fund and representing the respective pro rata number of each class of such GST Shares due to such record holder. All issued and outstanding Enterprise Trust shares will be cancelled promptly by Enterprise Trust on Enterprise Trust’s Books and Records. Any such shares issued and outstanding prior to such cancellation shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the GST Shares issued to such Enterprise Fund in accordance with paragraph 1.1 above. In addition, each record holder of an Enterprise Fund shall have the right to receive any unpaid dividends or other distributions which were declared with respect to his/her or its shares of such Enterprise Fund at or before the Valuation Time. Each Shell GST Fund shall redeem the shares issued pursuant to paragraph 6.3(g) for $10.00 each at or before the Closing.
      1.5 Liquidation of Enterprise Funds. As soon as conveniently practicable after the distribution of GST Shares pursuant to paragraph 1.4 has been made, Enterprise Trust shall take, in accordance with Delaware Law, the 1940 Act and the Enterprise Governing Documents, all steps as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a complete liquidation and termination of each Enterprise Fund that consummates a Fund Transaction.
      1.6 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer taxes payable on issuance of GST Shares in a name other than that of the record holder of Enterprise Trust shares on Enterprise Trust’s Books and Records shall be paid by the Person to whom such GST Shares are issued and transferred, as a condition of that transfer.

ARTICLE II
VALUATION
      2.1 Net Asset Value of the Enterprise Funds. The net asset value of a share of each class of each Enterprise Fund shall be the net asset value computed as of the Valuation Time, after the declaration and payment of any dividends and/or other distributions on the date thereof, using the valuation procedures described in the then-current prospectus and statement of additional information of its GST Fund Transaction Party as supplemented from time to time.
      2.2 Net Asset Value of the GST Funds. The net asset value of a share of each class of each Existing GST Fund shall be the net asset value computed as of the Valuation Time after the declaration and payment of any dividends and/or other distributions on the date thereof, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Existing GST Fund’s then-current prospectus and statement of additional information. The net asset value of a share of each class of each Shell GST Fund shall be $10.00 per share.
      2.3 Calculation of Number of GST Shares.
           (a) The number of GST Fund Institutional shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with a Fund Transaction shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Enterprise Fund participating therein attributable to Class Y shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per Institutional share of its GST Fund Transaction Party determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (b) The number of GST Fund Class A shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with a Fund Transaction shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Enterprise Fund participating therein attributable to Class A shares (and also Class C shares in the case of the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund), determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per Class A share of its GST Fund Transaction Party determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (c) The number of GST Fund Class B shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with a Fund Transaction shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Enterprise Fund participating therein attributable to Class B shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per Class B share of its GST Fund Transaction Party determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (d) Except in the case of the AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund, the number of GST Fund Class C shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with a Fund Transaction shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Enterprise Fund participating therein attributable to Class C shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per Class C share of its GST Fund Transaction Party determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (e) The number of GST Fund ILA Service shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with the Fund Transaction involving the ILA Portfolio shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of its Enterprise Fund Transaction Party attributable to (i) Class A shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per ILA Service share of the ILA Portfolio determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2 and (ii) attributable to Class Y shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per ILA Service share of the ILA Portfolio determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (f) The number of GST Fund ILA B shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with the Fund Transaction involving the ILA Portfolio shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of its Enterprise Fund Transaction Party attributable to Class B shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per

A-4


 

ILA B share of the ILA Portfolio determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (g) The number of GST Fund ILA C shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with the Fund Transaction involving the ILA Portfolio shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of its Enterprise Fund Transaction Party attributable to Class C shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per ILA C share of the ILA Portfolio determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
      2.4 Joint Direction of Calculation. All computations of net asset value and the value of securities transferred under this Article II shall be made by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JP Morgan”) under the joint direction of the following entities, in accordance with their regular practice and the requirements of the 1940 Act: (a) AXA, the investment adviser to the Enterprise Funds; and (b) GSAM, the investment adviser to the GST Funds. Enterprise Trust and GST agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve prior to the Valuation Time any material pricing differences between the prices of portfolio securities determined in accordance with the pricing policies and procedures of an Enterprise Fund and those determined in accordance with the pricing policies and procedures of its GST Fund Transaction Party.
      2.5 Net Asset Value of Money Market Fund. The net asset value of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, a series of Enterprise Trust (the “Enterprise Money Market Fund”), is based on the amortized cost procedures that have been adopted by the Enterprise Trust Board. If, for any period from the date of this Agreement up to and including the Valuation Time, the market value per share of the Enterprise Money Market Fund falls below $1.0000, Enterprise Trust shall adhere to its amortized cost procedures, including but not limited to, providing any required notices to the Enterprise Trust Board (a copy of which shall be simultaneously provided to the GST Board and GSAM). To the extent that the Enterprise Money Market Fund has any realized capital losses in excess of any realized capital gains on any of the three Business Days prior to the Valuation Time, AXA will make a contribution to the Enterprise Money Market Fund in an amount equal to such excess. However, AXA need not make such contribution if it is otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the authorized officers of the Parties. If the difference between the per share net asset value of any class of the Enterprise Money Market Fund and the corresponding class of the ILA Portfolio equals or exceeds $0.001 at the Valuation Time, as computed by using market values in accordance with the policies and procedures established by GST, either Party shall have the right to postpone the Effective Time of the Fund Transaction involving such Funds until such time as the per share difference is less than that amount. If such Effective Time is postponed pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Party (and its investment adviser) with the Fund having the per share net asset value of any class (as computed in accordance with the preceding sentence) at the Valuation Time that is $0.001 or more lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the other Fund shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce such difference to less than $0.001 within thirty days. If after thirty days, the difference between the per share net asset value of any class of the Enterprise Money Market Fund and the corresponding class of the ILA Portfolio still equals or exceeds $0.001, then either Party shall have the right to terminate the Fund Transaction involving the Enterprise Money Market Fund and the ILA Portfolio.
      2.6 Valuation Time. The valuation time shall be the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the Business Day preceding the Effective Time, or such earlier or later date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each of the Parties (the “Valuation Time”).
ARTICLE III
EFFECTIVE TIME AND CLOSING
      3.1 Effective Time and Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Fund Transaction shall occur immediately prior to the opening of business on April 30, 2007, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party (the “Effective Time”). To the extent any Fund Assets are, for any reason, not transferred at the Effective Time, Enterprise Trust shall cause such Fund

A-5


 

Assets to be transferred in accordance with this Agreement at the earliest practical date thereafter. The closing of the Fund Transactions will take place at the offices of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, One Logan Square, 18th and Cherry Streets, Philadelphia, PA 19103, or at such other place as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party, at the Effective Time (the “Closing”).
      3.2 Transfer and Delivery of Fund Assets. Enterprise Trust shall direct JP Morgan, as custodian for Enterprise Trust, to deliver to GST at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer certifying that: (a) JP Morgan delivered the Fund Assets of each Enterprise Fund to the corresponding GST Fund at the Effective Time; and (b) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of such Fund Assets, including all applicable foreign, federal and state stock transfer stamps and any other stamp duty taxes, if any, have been paid or provision (as reasonably estimated) for payment has been made. At least three Business Days prior to the Effective Time, JP Morgan shall present for examination those Fund Assets represented by certificate or other written instrument to those Persons who have primary responsibility for the safekeeping of the assets of the GST Funds at (a) JP Morgan, as custodian of GST on behalf of the Goldman Sachs International Equity Fund and Municipal Income Fund, and (b) State Street, with the principal place of business at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, as custodian of GST on behalf of the GST Funds other than the Goldman Sachs International Equity Fund and Municipal Income Fund. At the Effective Time, Enterprise Trust shall endorse and deliver, or transfer by appropriate transfer or assignment documents, such certificates and other written instruments as of the Effective Time for the account of the appropriate GST Fund in proper form for transfer and in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof in accordance with the customs of brokers. JP Morgan shall deliver other Fund Assets to those Persons who have primary responsibility for the safekeeping of the GST Funds at JP Morgan (with respect to the Goldman Sachs International Equity Fund and Municipal Income Fund) and State Street (with respect to all the GST Funds other than the Goldman Sachs International Equity and Municipal Income Funds) as of the Effective Time by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of JP Morgan and of each securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 and Rule 17f-7 under the 1940 Act) in which such Fund Assets are held. Any cash to be transferred by an Enterprise Fund to a GST Fund shall be delivered by wire transfer of federal funds at the Effective Time pursuant to instructions provided by GST.
      3.3 GST Share Records. GST shall deliver to the Secretary of Enterprise Trust at the Closing a confirmation evidencing that: (a) the appropriate number of each class and series of GST Shares have been credited to the account of each Enterprise Fund on the Books and Records of the Enterprise Fund’s Transaction Party pursuant to paragraph 1.1 prior to the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.4, and (b) the appropriate number of each class and series of GST Shares have been credited to the accounts of record holders of Enterprise Trust shares on the Books and Records of GST pursuant to paragraph 1.4.
      3.4 Postponement of Valuation Time and Effective Time. If immediately prior to the Valuation Time: (a) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of a GST Fund or an Enterprise Fund is closed to trading, or trading thereupon is restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such market is disrupted so that, in the judgment of an appropriate officer of Enterprise Trust or GST, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of a GST Fund or Enterprise Fund is impracticable, the Valuation Time for the Fund Transaction involving that GST Fund or Enterprise Fund shall be postponed until the first Business Day that is a Friday (or a Thursday if that Friday is not a Business Day) after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored, and the Effective Time shall be postponed until the first Business Day after such Valuation Time, or such later dates as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
      4.1 Representations and Warranties of Enterprise Trust. Enterprise Trust, severally on behalf of each of the Enterprise Funds, hereby represents and warrants to GST, on behalf of the GST Funds, as follows, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct on the date hereof:
           (a) Enterprise Trust is a statutory trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified, licensed or admitted to do business and is in good standing as a foreign association under the Laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification, licensing or admission necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or admitted and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on its properties or assets or the properties or assets of any Enterprise Fund. Enterprise Trust has full power under the Enterprise Governing Documents to conduct its business as it is now being conducted and to own the properties and assets it now owns for itself and on behalf of each Enterprise Fund. Enterprise Trust has all necessary authorizations, licenses and approvals from any applicable Governmental or Regulatory Body necessary to carry on its business as such business is now being carried on except authorizations, licenses and approvals that the failure to so obtain would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Enterprise Trust.
           (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Enterprise Trust on behalf of each Enterprise Fund and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly and validly authorized by the Enterprise Trust Board, and the Enterprise Trust Board has approved the Fund Transactions and has resolved to recommend each Fund Transaction to the shareholders of the applicable Enterprise Fund and to call a special meeting of shareholders of each Enterprise Fund for the purpose of approving this Agreement and the Fund Transaction contemplated thereby for that Fund. Other than the approval by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the outstanding shares of each Enterprise Fund in accordance with the provisions of the Enterprise Governing Documents, applicable Delaware Law and the 1940 Act, no other action on the part of Enterprise Trust or its shareholders, or the shareholders of each Enterprise Fund, is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Enterprise Trust on behalf of each Enterprise Fund or the consummation of each Fund Transaction contemplated herein. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Enterprise Trust on behalf of each Enterprise Fund, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by GST, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Enterprise Trust, as it relates to each Enterprise Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, to general equity principles and to any limitations on indemnity as may be required under federal and state securities Laws).
           (c) The authorized capital of Enterprise Trust consists of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a par value of one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share. Each class and series of shares has been duly established and represents a fractional undivided interest in one of the Enterprise Funds. The issued and outstanding Enterprise Trust shares of each class and series are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights of any kind to acquire from Enterprise Trust any shares of any series or equity interests of any Enterprise Fund or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or which otherwise confer on the holder thereof any right to acquire, any such additional shares, nor is Enterprise Trust committed to issue any share appreciation or similar rights or options, warrants, rights or securities in connection with any series of shares. Enterprise Trust has no share certificates outstanding.

It is understood that such ordinary course of business shall include (a) the declaration and payment of customary dividends and other distributions; (b) shareholder purchases and redemptions; (c) the withdrawal of a portion or all of the seed capital and investments of AXA (prior to the Effective Time) in any Enterprise Fund or GSAM in any GST Fund; and (d) the continued good faith performance by the investment adviser, sub-advisers, administrator, distributor and other service providers of their respective responsibilities in accordance with their agreements with Enterprise Trust or GST, as applicable, and applicable Law. In order to facilitate the transfer of Fund Assets at the Effective Time, GSAM or GSAMI may request in writing that AXA use its commercially reasonable best efforts, subject to its fiduciary duty and that of the investment sub-adviser to the applicable Enterprise Fund, to limit or cease portfolio trading on behalf of an Enterprise Fund for a period of up to three days prior to the Valuation Time. AXA agrees that it will accommodate such requests to the extent such trading restrictions are consistent with the investment objectives, policies and strategies of the Enterprise Fund and consistent with fulfilling its fiduciary obligations as an investment adviser. No Party shall take any action that would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue in any material respect.
      5.2 Shareholders’ Meeting. Enterprise Trust will call, convene and hold a meeting of shareholders of each Enterprise Fund as soon as practicable, in accordance with applicable Law and the Enterprise Governing Documents, for the purpose of approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein as set forth in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, and for such other purposes as may be necessary or desirable. In the event that, for any Enterprise Fund, insufficient votes are received from shareholders, the meeting may be adjourned as permitted under the Enterprise Governing Documents and applicable Law, and as set forth in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus in order to permit further solicitation of proxies.
      5.3 Proxy Statement/ Prospectus and Registration Statement. Enterprise Trust and GST each will cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus and Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC in a form satisfactory to GST and Enterprise Trust and their respective counsel as promptly as practicable. Upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, Enterprise Trust will cause the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus to be delivered to shareholders of the Enterprise Funds entitled to vote on this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein in accordance with the Enterprise Governing Documents. Each Party will provide the materials and information necessary to prepare the Registration Statement, for inclusion therein, in connection with the shareholder meeting of each Enterprise Fund to consider the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

A-25


 

cause to be delivered to GST at the Closing, the Books and Records of each Enterprise Fund (regardless of whose possession they are in).
      10.10 Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to create rights in Persons not Parties (including, without limitation, any shareholder of GST or Enterprise Trust) except that the Enterprise Trust Independent Trustees are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of paragraph 1.3 herein.
      10.11 Failure of Any Fund(s) to Consummate the Transactions.
           (a) The failure of any GST Fund or Enterprise Fund to consummate its Fund Transaction shall not affect the consummation or validity of the Fund Transaction with respect to any other GST Fund or Enterprise Fund, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed to effect this intent.
           (b) In the event that any Enterprise Fund fails to obtain the required shareholder vote for approval of this Agreement with respect to the Fund Transaction in which it is participating at or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall continue the solicitation of the shareholders of the applicable Enterprise Fund. If approval of this Agreement is denied by the shareholders of an Enterprise Fund, such Enterprise Fund shall resolicit such shareholders and make such new or amended filings as are required or desirable to obtain such shareholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required shareholder vote for approval of this Agreement with respect to any Fund Transaction has not been obtained on or before the nine-month anniversary of the originally scheduled Effective Time (and before the date specified in paragraph 8.2(e)), then the Parties, AXA, GSAM and GSAMI shall take such actions as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
           (c) Notwithstanding paragraph 10.11(a), no Fund Transaction involving any Enterprise Fund shall be consummated until either (i) shareholders of all Enterprise Funds approve this Agreement with respect to their respective Fund Transactions or (ii) shareholders of certain but not all Enterprise Funds approve this Agreement with respect to their respective Fund Transactions and shareholders of certain portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (“Multimanager Trust”) or The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (“Enterprise Group”) approve related agreements and plans of reorganization such that the Enterprise Funds and the portfolios of the Multimanager Trust and Enterprise Group whose shareholders provided approval have combined total assets under management of at least $1,000,000,000. If shareholder approval of this Agreement with respect to a Fund Transaction in respect of one or more of the Enterprise Funds has not been received on or before the Effective Time and the Closing, then, if such approvals are ultimately received, a subsequent Closing shall occur, at such time and place and on such date (and with such Effective Time) as is mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party. It is agreed that such subsequent Closing shall not be set in a piecemeal fashion and that no subsequent Fund Transaction involving any Enterprise Fund shall be consummated until shareholders of those remaining Enterprise Funds with combined total assets under management of at least $500,000,000 approve this Agreement with respect to their respective Fund Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a subsequent Fund Transaction involving one or more Enterprise Funds will be consummated with a lesser amount of combined total assets under management if no other Fund Transactions are reasonably believed by AXA to occur by December 31, 2007 or if it is mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party.
      10.12 Validity. Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid, but if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by Law or invalid, then such provision or term shall be ineffective only in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions so holding and only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
      10.13 Effect of Facsimile Signature. A facsimile signature of an authorized officer of a Party hereto on any Transfer Document shall have the same effect as if executed in the original by such officer.
      10.14 GST Liability. The name “Goldman Sachs Trust” is the designation of the trustees for the time being under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated January 28, 1997, as amended from time to time, and all Persons dealing with GST or a GST Fund must look solely to the property of GST or such GST Fund for the enforcement of any claims as none of its trustees, officers, agents or shareholders assume any personal liability for obligations entered into on behalf of GST. No GST Fund shall be liable for any claims against any other GST

      10.15 Enterprise Funds Liability. The name “AXA Enterprise Funds Trust” is the designation of the trustees for the time being under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 30, 2004, and all Persons dealing with Enterprise Trust or an Enterprise Fund must look solely to the property of Enterprise Trust or such Enterprise Fund for the enforcement of any claims as none of its trustees, officers, agents or shareholders assume any personal liability for obligations entered into on behalf of Enterprise Trust.

APPENDIX C
Comparison of the Investment Restrictions of the
AXA Enterprise and GST Funds
      This section briefly compares and contrasts certain fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions of each AXA Enterprise Fund with those of its corresponding GST Fund. More complete information may be found in the respective statements of additional information for the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds.
      Unless otherwise indicated, the restrictions discussed below are fundamental policies of an AXA Enterprise or GST Fund. This means that they cannot be changed without approval of shareholders. Investment restrictions that are non-fundamental may be changed for the AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds by the Boards of Trustees of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST, respectively.
      Maintenance of Status as a “Diversified Company.” All the AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds are “diversified companies” as defined by the 1940 Act. A “diversified company” is one that, with respect to at least 75% of the value of its total assets, is invested in cash, cash items, government securities and other securities. Investments in other securities are limited as to any one issuer to: (1) an amount no greater than 5% of the value of the total assets of the Fund; and (2) not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. The AXA Enterprise Funds employ the following non-fundamental policy with respect to this diversification restriction: mortgage- and asset-backed securities will not be considered to have been issued by the same issuer by reason of the securities having the same sponsor, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities issued by a finance or other special purpose subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the parent company will be considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the parent company. As money market funds, the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund and Goldman Sachs Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio are subject to additional diversification requirements under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.
      Issuance of Senior Securities. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, and then not in excess of 331/3% of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s total assets (including the amount of the senior securities issued but reduced by any liabilities not constituting senior securities) at the time of the issuance. For purposes of this restriction, the purchase or sale of securities on a “when-issued,” delayed delivery or forward commitment basis, the purchase and sale of options and futures contracts and collateral arrangements with respect thereto are not deemed to be the issuance of a senior security. The GST Funds are prohibited from issuing senior securities except to the extent such issuance would not violate applicable law.
      Borrowings. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not borrow money, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, and then not in excess of 331/3% of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s total assets at the time of the borrowing, except that each AXA Enterprise Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) for temporary purposes such as clearance of portfolio transactions and share redemptions. For purposes of this restriction, the purchase or sale of securities on a “when-issued,” delayed delivery or forward commitment basis, the purchase and sale of options and futures contracts and collateral arrangements with respect thereto are not deemed to be a borrowing or a pledge of assets.
      Each GST Fund has a fundamental investment restriction of not borrowing money, except: (1) each GST Fund (except the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Structured Small Cap Growth Fund and Structured Small Cap Value Fund) may borrow from banks or through reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed); (2) the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Structured Small Cap Growth Fund and Structured Small Cap Value Fund may to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow from banks (as defined in the 1940 Act), other affiliated investment companies and other persons or through reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed); (3) each GST Fund may to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes; (4) each GST Fund may obtain short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities; (5) each GST Fund may purchase

C-1


 

securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law; and (6) other than the Goldman Sachs Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio, each GST Fund may engage in transactions in mortgage dollar rolls which are accounted for as financings. In addition, each GST Fund has a non-fundamental policy prohibiting a GST Fund from purchasing additional securities if its borrowings (excluding covered mortgage dollar rolls) exceed 5% of its net assets. (Notwithstanding the foregoing fundamental policy that would allow the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio to borrow through reverse repurchase agreements, as of the date of this Proxy/ Prospectus, the Portfolio does not engage in reverse repurchase transactions as a matter of non-fundamental policy which may be changed or amended by action of the GST Board of Trustees without approval of shareholders.)
      As a non-fundamental policy, both the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds may not purchase additional securities if a Fund’s borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets (AXA Enterprise Funds) and 5% of its net assets (GST Funds).
      Securities Underwriting. Both the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds have similar restrictions with respect to securities underwriting. Neither the AXA Enterprise Funds nor the GST Funds may underwrite securities issued by others except to the extent that the sale of portfolio securities may be deemed to be an underwriting.
      Concentration in Industries. Both the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds have a similar restriction generally prohibiting them from investing 25% or more of their respective total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more of a Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry, except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities or to municipal securities. The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of this fundamental restriction with respect to the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, certificates of deposit or securities issued and guaranteed by banks will not be considered to have been issued by issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry.
      For purposes of applying this restriction to the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income, High Yield Income, Government Income and Municipal Income Funds, the GST Funds may not invest more than 25% of their total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry (excluding the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities). (For the purposes of this restriction, state and municipal governments and their agencies, authorities and instrumentalities are not deemed to be industries; telephone companies are considered to be a separate industry from water, gas or electric utilities; personal credit finance companies and business credit finance companies are deemed to be separate industries; and wholly-owned finance companies are considered to be in the same industry of their parents if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of their parents.) This restriction does not apply to investments in municipal securities which have been pre-refunded by the use of obligations of the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities. The Municipal Income Fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in municipal securities which are related in such a way that an economic, business or political development or change affecting one municipal security would also affect the other municipal securities. These municipal securities include (a) municipal securities, the interest on which is paid solely from revenues of similar projects such as hospitals, electric utility systems, multi-family housing, nursing homes, commercial facilities (including hotels), steel companies or life care facilities; (b) municipal securities whose issuers are in the same state; and (c) industrial development obligations.
      For purposes of applying this restriction to the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio may not purchase securities if such purchase would cause more than 25% in the aggregate of the market value of the total assets of the series to be invested in the securities of one or more issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry, provided that there is no limitation with respect to, and the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio reserves freedom of action, when otherwise consistent with its investment policies, to concentrate its investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, obligations (other than commercial paper)

C-2


 

issued or guaranteed by U.S. banks and U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks and repurchase agreements and securities loans collateralized by such U.S. government obligations or such bank obligations.
      For purposes of applying this restriction to the GST Funds, the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities are excluded.
      Purchases of Real Estate. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in securities of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other instruments supported by interests in real estate are not subject to this limitation, and except that each Fund may exercise rights under agreements relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner. The GST Funds may not purchase, hold or deal in real estate although the GST Funds may purchase or sell: (1) securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate, (2) securities of real estate investment trusts, (3) mortgage-related securities, and (4) may hold and sell real estate acquired by a Fund as a result of the ownership of securities.
      Commodities. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of owning securities or other instruments, but each Fund may purchase, sell or enter into financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments. None of the GST Funds may invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except that the GST Funds may invest in currency and financial instruments and contracts that are commodities or commodity contracts.
      Investments in Other Investment Companies or Series Thereof. As a non-fundamental policy, the AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and orders thereunder and except that (i) this limitation does not apply to securities received or acquired as dividends, through offers of exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger and (ii) each AXA Enterprise Fund may not acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on Section 12(d)(1)(F) or (G) of the 1940 Act. This investment restriction will not prevent the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund from investing all or a part of its assets in an open-end investment company with the same investment objective as the AXA Enterprise Fund. Notwithstanding any other fundamental investment restriction or policy, a GST Fund may invest some or all of its assets in a single open-end investment company or series thereof with substantially the same investment objective, restrictions and policies as the GST Fund.
      Loans. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not make loans, except loans of portfolio securities or through repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt securities or instruments, or participations or other interests therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances or similar instruments will not be considered the making of a loan. The GST Funds may not make loans except through (1) the purchase of debt obligations in accordance with each GST Fund’s investment objective and policies; (2) repurchase agreements with banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions; (3) loans of securities as permitted by applicable law; and (4) with respect to the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Structured Small Cap Growth Fund and Structured Small Cap Value Fund, loans to affiliates of the GST Funds to the extent permitted by law.
      Investments in Illiquid Securities. As a non-fundamental limitation, each AXA Enterprise Fund, except the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. The AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. As a non-fundamental limitation, the GST Funds may not acquire any illiquid (not readily marketable) investments if more than 15% of their net assets (10% of the net assets with respect to the ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio) would be invested in illiquid investments.
      Investments for Purposes of Exercising Control. As a non-fundamental policy, the GST Funds are restricted from investing in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management. The AXA Enterprise Funds have no similar restriction.

C-3


 

      Short Sales of Securities. As a non-fundamental restriction, the AXA Enterprise Funds may not engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position, except that each AXA Enterprise Fund may (a) engage in covered short sales and (b) maintain short positions in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments. As a non-fundamental limitation, the GST Funds may not make short sales of securities, except short sales against-the-box.
      Purchases of Securities on Margin. As a non-fundamental limitation, each of the AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credit necessary for clearance of portfolio transactions and except that each AXA Enterprise Fund may make margin deposits in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments. As a fundamental policy, the GST Funds may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Purchases and Sales of Shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund

     The reduced sales charges on AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares and GST Class A Shares described above are available through:
          Rights of Accumulation
      AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares
      An investor is entitled to a reduced sales charge on additional purchases of Class A shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund if the value of the investor’s existing aggregate holdings at the time of the additional purchase, calculated at the then applicable net asset value per share or the initial purchase price less any redemptions, whichever is higher, plus the amount of the additional purchase equals $100,000 or more. The investor’s discount is determined based on the schedule listed above under “Sales Charges for AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares.” For purposes of determining the discount, AXA Enterprise Funds will aggregate holdings of fund shares of the investor’s spouse, immediate family or accounts the investor controls, whether as a single investor or trustee, provided that the investor notifies AXA Enterprise Funds of the applicable accounts at the time of his/her

D-3


 

additional investment by providing AXA Enterprise Funds with appropriate documentation, including the account numbers for all accounts that the investor is seeking to aggregate.
GST Class A Shares
      When buying Class A Shares in GST Funds, the current aggregate investment determines the initial sales charge an investor will pay. An investor may qualify for reduced sales charges when the current market value of holdings across Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares, plus new purchases, reaches $50,000 or more (except for the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund and Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund, all of which require an aggregate of $100,000 or more, and the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund which requires an aggregate of $500,000 or more). Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of any of the GST Funds may be combined under the Right of Accumulation. For purposes of applying the Right of Accumulation, shares of the GST Funds and any other GST Fund of GST purchased by an existing client of Goldman Sachs Wealth Management or GS Ayco Holding LLC will be combined with Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares and other assets held by all other Goldman Sachs Wealth Management accounts or accounts of GS Ayco Holding LLC, respectively. In addition, under some circumstances, Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of the GST Funds and Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of any other GST Fund purchased by partners, directors, officers or employees of the same business organization, groups of individuals represented by and investing on the recommendation of the same accounting firm, certain affinity groups or other similar organizations may be combined for the purpose of determining whether a purchase will qualify for the Right of Accumulation and, if qualifying, the applicable sales charge level. To qualify for a reduced sales charge, an investor or the investor’s Authorized Dealer must notify the GST Funds’ Transfer Agent at the time of investment that a quantity discount is applicable. Use of this option is subject to a check of appropriate records.
          Letter of Intent
AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares
      An investor is entitled to a reduced sales charge if he/she executes a Letter of Intent to purchase $100,000 or more of Class A Shares at the public offering price within a period of 13 months. The discount will be determined based on the schedule listed above under “Sales Charges for AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares.” The minimum initial investment under a Letter of Intent is 5% of the amount stated in the Letter of Intent. Class A Shares purchased with the first 5% of such amount will be held in escrow (while remaining registered in the investor’s name) to secure payment of the higher sales charge that would apply to the shares actually purchased if the full amount stated is not purchased, and such escrowed shares will be involuntarily redeemed to pay the additional sales charge, if necessary. When the full amount has been purchased, the escrow will be released. If an investor wishes to enter into a Letter of Intent, he/she should complete the appropriate portion of the new account application. At the investor’s request, purchases made during the previous 90 days may be included.
GST Class A Shares
      An investor may obtain a reduced sales charge by means of a written Statement of Intention which expresses his/her non-binding commitment to invest (not counting reinvestments of dividends and distributions) in the aggregate $50,000 or more within a period of 13 months in Class A Shares of one or more of the GST Funds (except for the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund and Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund, all of which require an aggregate of $100,000 or more, and the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund which requires an aggregate of $500,000 or more). Any investments made during the period will receive the discounted sales charge based on the full amount of the investment commitment. At the investor’s request, purchases made during the previous 90 days may be included; however, capital appreciation does not apply toward these combined purchases. If the investment commitment of the Statement of Intention is not met prior to the expiration of the 13-month period, the entire amount will be subject to the higher applicable sales charge. By selecting the Statement of Intention, the investor authorizes the Transfer Agent to escrow and redeem Class A Shares in his/her account to pay this additional charge.

The CDSC may not be imposed if your authorized dealer enters into an agreement with Goldman Sachs to return all or an applicable prorated portion of its commission to Goldman Sachs (FESC only).

AXA Enterprise Funds   GST Funds
     
    Excess contributions distributed from an Employee Benefit Plan;
 
    Distributions from a qualified Employee Benefit Plan invested in the GST Funds which are being rolled over to a Goldman IRA in the same share class.
 
    Redemption proceeds which are to be reinvested in accounts or non-registered products over which GSAM or its advisory affiliates have investment discretion.
      Repurchase of AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares. An investor repurchasing Class A Shares within 180 days of redeeming shares in the same class of the same AXA Enterprise Fund is eligible, upon request, for a sales charge waiver or a credit to the investor’s account with the amount of the CDSC previously paid. The reinvested shares will keep their original cost and purchase date for purposes of calculating any future CDSCs. For federal income tax purposes, the original redemption is treated as a sale that involves tax consequences, even if the proceeds are later reinvested. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisor to determine how a redemption would affect them. The Enterprise Trust may modify or terminate the reinstatement privilege at any time.
      Repurchase of GST Class A Shares. An investor may redeem shares of a GST Fund and reinvest a portion or all of the redemption proceeds (plus any additional amounts needed to round off purchases to the nearest full share) at net asset value. To be eligible for this privilege, the investor must hold the shares he wants to redeem for at least 30 days and he must reinvest the share proceeds within 90 days after redemption. An investor may reinvest in Class A Shares of the same GST Fund or another GST Fund.
      If an investor pays a CDSC upon redemption of Class A Shares and then reinvests in Class A Shares as described above, the account will be credited with the amount of the CDSC the investor paid. The reinvested shares will, however, continue to be subject to a CDSC. The holding period of the shares acquired through reinvestment will include the holding period of the redeemed shares for purposes of computing the CDSC payable under a subsequent redemption.
      The reinvestment privilege may be exercised at any time in connection with transactions in which the proceeds are reinvested at net asset value in a tax-sheltered Employee Benefit Plan. In other cases, the reinvestment privilege may be exercised once per year upon receipt of a written request. There may be tax consequences as a result of a redemption. Professional tax advice should be sought regarding the tax consequences of a redemption and reinvestment.

Sales charge, Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements for GST
      GST Class A Shares. GST has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “GST Class A Plan”) under which Class A Shares of the GST Funds bear distribution and service fees paid to authorized dealers and Goldman Sachs. Under the GST Class A Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee from each GST Fund for distribution services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a GST Fund attributable to Class A Shares.
      GST Class B Shares. GST has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “GST Class B Plan”) under which Class B Shares of the GST Funds bear distribution and service fees paid to authorized dealers and Goldman Sachs. Under the GST Class B Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee from each GST Fund for distribution services and personal account maintenance services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.75% and 0.25%, respectively, of a GST Fund attributable to Class B Shares.
      GST Class C Shares. GST has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “GST Class C Plan”) under which Class C Shares of the GST Funds bear distribution and service fees paid to authorized dealers and Goldman Sachs. Under the GST Class C Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee from each GST Fund for distribution services and personal account maintenance services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.75% and 0.25%, respectively, of a GST Fund attributable to Class C Shares.
      The distribution fees paid under the GST Class A, B and C Plans are subject to the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and may be used (among other things) for: (1) compensation paid to and expenses incurred by authorized dealers, Goldman Sachs and their respective officers, employees and sales representatives; (2) commissions paid to authorized dealers; (3) allocable overhead; (4) telephone and travel expenses; (5) interest and other costs associated with the financing of such compensation and expenses; (6) printing of prospectuses for prospective shareholders; (7) preparation and distribution of sales literature or

Under the GST Service Plan, service organizations are entitled to receive payments for their service from GST equal to 0.25% (annualized) for personal and account maintenance services plus an additional 0.15% (annualized) for shareholder administrative services of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio that are attributable to or held in the name of a service organization for its customers. In addition, GSAM, at its own expense may pay a service organization up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio. The compensation paid by GSAM does not represent an additional expense to the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio or its shareholders, since it will be paid from the assets of GSAM.
          Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
      AXA Enterprise Funds Class B Shares. Class B Shares are sold at net asset value, without any sales charges at the time of purchase. However, there may be a CDSC on shares that is payable upon redemption. Initial purchases of Class B Shares of the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund are not subject to a CDSC unless and until the shares are exchanged into Class B Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund. The holding period for purposes of timing the conversion to Class A Shares and determining the CDSC will continue to run after an exchange to Class B Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund. The AXA Enterprise Funds will not accept single purchase orders for Class B shares over $100,000.
      The amount of the CDSC declines as you hold your shares over time, according to the following schedule.

      Class B Shares will automatically convert to Class A Shares of the same AXA Enterprise Fund eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the purchase order for the Class B Shares was accepted. A pro rata portion of any Class B Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions will convert along with Class B Shares that were purchased. Class A Shares are subject to lower expenses than Class B Shares. The conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares is not a taxable event for federal income tax purposes.
      GST Fund Class B Shares and ILA Class B Shares. As discussed further below, the CDSC schedule for the Corresponding GST Funds only differs in the third year from the AXA Enterprise Funds CDSC schedule. [Holders of AXA Enterprise Funds Class B Shares who receive GST Fund Class B Shares in connection with the Reorganization will be charged CDSCs on those GST Fund Class B Shares based on the [AXA Enterprise/ GST CDSC schedule set forth above/below.]] In addition, former AXA Enterprise Funds Class B shareholders will be credited for the period of time from the original date of purchase of the AXA Enterprise Funds Class B Shares for

purposes of determining the amount of their CDSC, if any. GST Fund Class B Shares purchased after the Effective Time of the Reorganization will be charged CDSCs according to the GST Fund CDSC schedule below.

      Class B Shares or ILA Class B Shares of a GST Fund will automatically convert into Class A Shares (Service Shares in the case of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio) of the same GST Fund at the end of the calendar quarter that is eight years after the purchase date.
      If an investor acquires Class B Shares of a GST Fund by exchange from Class B Shares of another GST Fund, his Class B Shares will convert into Class A Shares (Service Shares in the case of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio) of such GST Fund based on the date of the initial purchase and the CDSC schedule of that purchase.
      If an investor acquires Class B Shares through reinvestment of distributions, his Class B Shares will convert into Class A Shares (Service Shares in the case of the Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio) based on the date of the initial purchase of the shares on which the distribution was paid.
      A maximum purchase limitation of $100,000 in the aggregate normally applies to the purchase of Class B Shares or ILA Class B Shares of GST Funds. Once the current value of an investor’s Class B Shares or ILA Class B Shares in the aggregate across all GST Funds is equal to $100,000, an investor will not be allowed to purchase any additional Class B Shares or ILA Class B Shares. Individual purchases exceeding $100,000 will be rejected and additional purchases which could cause an investor’s holdings in Class B Shares to exceed $100,000 will be rejected.
      AXA Enterprise Funds Class C Shares. Class C Shares are sold at net asset value. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on redemptions of Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Funds within the first year after purchase. Initial purchases of Class C Shares of the Money Market Fund are not subject to a CDSC unless and until the shares are exchanged into Class C Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund. The holding period for purposes of determining the CDSC will continue to run after an exchange to Class C Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund. The AXA Enterprise Funds will not accept single purchase orders for Class C Shares over $1,000,000.
      Class A Shares of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund are not subject to a CDSC. As a result, AXA Enterprise Short Duration Bond Fund Class C shareholders who received Class A Shares of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund will no longer be subject to a CDSC.
      GST Fund Class C Shares and ILA Class C Shares. Class C Shares sold at net asset value. There is no front-end sales charge imposed on Class C Shares of the GST Funds, however, a maximum CDSC of 1.00% is imposed in the event of redemptions within 12 months of purchase (or initial investment in a GST Fund from which an exchange is made). No additional Class C Shares may be purchased by an investor either in an initial purchase or in subsequent purchases if the current market value of the shares owned and/or purchased is equal to or exceeds $1 million.
      For more information on the circumstances when the Class B Share CDSC will be waived see “CDSC Waivers — AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds.”

      Redemption Fees.
      All AXA Enterprise Funds, except the AXA Enterprise Money Market Fund, charge a 2% redemption fee if you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less. This fee is assessed and retained by an AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. If the short-term trading fee is $50 or less, it may not be assessed on a redemption or exchange; however, during the 30-day period following a purchase or exchange, an AXA Enterprise Fund reserves the right to collect short-term trading fees relating to a series of transactions by a shareholder if, in the aggregate, the fees total more than $50. The AXA Enterprise Funds will use the “first in, first out” method to determine the shareholder’s holding period. Under this method, the date of redemption or exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in the shareholder’s account. The AXA Enterprise Funds reserve the right to modify or discontinue the short-term trading fee at any time or from time to time.
      Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund and Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less (60 calendar days in the case of the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund). For this purpose, GST Fund uses a first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method so that shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest will be treated as being redeemed last. The redemption fee will be paid to the GST Fund, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the GST Fund. The redemption fee may be collected by deduction from the redemption proceeds or, if assessed after the redemption transaction, through a separate billing.
      The AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds do not assess a redemption fee with respect to certain transactions, specifically:
     
AXA Enterprise Funds   GST Funds
     
Shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions;   Redemptions of shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions;
 
Shares redeemed or exchanged by the AXA Enterprise Allocation Funds or the portfolios of the Texas 529 qualified tuition savings plans;   Redemptions of shares by other Goldman Sachs Funds (e.g., Goldman Sachs Asset Allocation Portfolios);
 
Shares redeemed or exchanged through rebalancing, or asset reallocation, wrap fee, omnibus or other program approved by AXA Equitable;   Redemptions of shares that are acquired or redeemed in connection with participation in a systematic withdrawal program or automatic investment plan;
 
    Redemptions of shares held through discretionary wrap programs or models programs that utilize regularly scheduled automatic rebalancing of assets and that have provided GSAM with a representation letter specifying certain operating policies and standards;

D-12


 

     
AXA Enterprise Funds   GST Funds
     
Shares redeemed or exchanged from the Money Market Fund; or

Shares redeemed by an AXA Enterprise Fund to cover various fees (e.g., account fees).
  Redemptions of shares involving transactions other than participant initiated exchanges from retirement plans and accounts maintained pursuant to Section 401 (tax-qualified pension, profit sharing, 401(k), money purchase and stock bonus plans), 403 (qualified annuity plans and tax-sheltered annuities) and 457 (deferred compensation plans for employees of tax-exempt entities or governments) of the Code. Redemptions involving transactions other than participant initiated exchanges would include, for example: loans; required minimum distributions; rollovers; forfeiture; redemptions of shares to pay fees; plan level redemptions or exchanges; redemptions pursuant to systematic withdrawal programs; return of excess contribution amounts; hardship withdrawals; redemptions related to death, disability or qualified domestic relations order; and certain other transactions;
 
    Redemptions of shares from accounts of financial institutions in connection with hedging services provided in support of nonqualified deferred compensation plans offering the GST Funds;
 
    Redemption of shares where the GST Funds are made available as an underlying investment in certain group annuity contracts; or
 
    Redemption of shares that are issued as part of an investment company reorganization to which a GST Fund is a party.
 
    Redemption of shares representing “seed capital” investments by Goldman Sachs or its affiliates.
      Class A, Class B, Class C or Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund and Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund issued on the closing date of the Reorganization to AXA Enterprise Funds shareholders in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to a redemption fee. However, new purchase of Class A, Class B, Class C or Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity, High Yield and Municipal Income Fund made by former AXA Enterprise shareholders on or after the closing date of the Reorganization will be subject to the redemption fee.

     Shown below are unaudited pro forma financial statements for the combined Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio, assuming the Reorganization, as more fully described in the combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated ___, 2007, had been consummated as of August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund, and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, October 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio. Pro forma financial information has not been prepared for the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund and AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund into the Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund, respectively, because the AXA Enterprise Funds are being reorganized into newly organized GST Funds with no assets and liabilities that will commence investment operations upon completion of the Reorganization and continue the operations of the AXA Enterprise Funds. In addition no pro forma information has been prepared for the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Deep Value Fund, AXA Enterprise Equity Fund, AXA Enterprise International Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund (individual combination with Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund only), AXA Enterprise Small Company Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Small Company Value Fund, AXA Enterprise High Yield Bond Fund and AXA Enterprise Tax-Exempt Income Fund because as of January 12, 2007, the net asset value of such AXA Enterprise Funds did not exceed 10% of the net asset value of the Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Strategic International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund and Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund, respectively, and, therefore pro forma financial information is not required.
     The Pro Forma Combined Schedules of Investments and the Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Growth Income Fund, and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, October 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund

and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio.
     The Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund are for the twelve-months ended August 31, 2006 and have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred September 1, 2005. The Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund are for the twelve-months ended October 31, 2006 and have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred November 1, 2005. The Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio are for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2006 and have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred July 1, 2005.
     The unaudited pro forma combined schedules and financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the financial condition that actually would have resulted if the Reorganization had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, October 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund and June 30, 2006 as of the Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio. These pro forma numbers have been estimated in good faith based on information regarding the applicable AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund for the twelve month period ended August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, October 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio.
     The following unaudited pro forma combined schedules and financial statements have been derived from the schedules and financial statements of certain AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds and such information has been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, October 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund and Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED U.S. EQUITY FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust(the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Capital Appreciation Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A
    Class B
    Class C
    Institutional
 
Shares Issued
    6,044,721       2,241,425       2,172,399       2,009,444  
Net Assets 08/31/2006
  $ 192,169,019     $ 67,065,118     $ 64,690,343     $ 65,266,936  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 08/31/2006
  $ 31.79     $ 29.92     $ 29.78     $ 32.48  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service

 


 

is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Fund, which are subject to taxes. Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
      Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
      The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
      In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
      The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
Capital Loss Carryforward*

Expiring 2009
  $3,326   $  
Expiring 2010
  25,282     21,317,839  
Expiring 2011
       
 
Total
  $28,608   $ 21,317,839  
 
*   Expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.
E. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker or the Funds’ custodian bank on behalf of the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum ''initial margin’’ requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (''variation margin’’) are paid or received by the Funds, dependant on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts,

2


 

and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
      The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
      Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, transfers uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
G. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
H. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
      The Investment Adviser has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the Fund which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of December 29, 2005 to achieve the rates listed below:
         
Average Daily Net Assets
 
Annual Rate
First $1 Billion
    0.65 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.59 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.56 %
 
      Additionally, effective December 29, 2005, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its Management fees equal to 0.14% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.
      GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.004% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.

      The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.
      Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $56,400, $0, and $0 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
      Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
      The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
      For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $1,048,000, $538,000, and $15,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $0, $101,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
      At August 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $589,000, $225,000, and $137,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. In addition, amounts owed to affiliates by The Portfolio were approximately $241,000, $35,000, and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
      Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $7,169 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $2,714, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $54,679,277 collateralized by cash in the amount of $55,463,875. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED U.S. EQUITY FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust(the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Capital Appreciation Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust(the “Multimanager Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Multimanager Trust currently has thirteen portfolios, including the Multimanager Core Equity (the “Multimanager Portfolio”) which offers five classes of shares—Class A, B, C, P, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Portfolio and Class A and Class P of the Multimanager Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolio and Class B of the Multimanager Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Portfolio and Class C of the Multimanager Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolio and Class Y of the Multimanager Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio and Multimanager Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A
  Class B
  Class C
  Institutional
Shares Issued
    6,182,112       2,252,214       2,183,278       2,221,889  
Net Assets 08/31/2006
  $ 196,536,820     $ 67,387,928     $ 65,014,308     $ 72,167,169  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 08/31/2006
  $ 31.79     $ 29.92     $ 29.78     $ 32.48  

 


 

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Fund, which are subject to taxes. Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
    The Portfolio and the Multi

Expiring 2009
  $ 3,326     $

Expiring 2011
           
 
Total
  $ 28,608     $ 21,317,839  
 
*   Expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

2


 

E. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker or the Funds’ custodian bank on behalf of the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum ‘‘initial margin’’ requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (‘‘variation margin’’) are paid or received by the Funds, dependant on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, transfers uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
G. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
H. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     The Investment Adviser has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the Fund which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of December 29, 2005 to achieve the rates listed below:
         
Average Daily Net Assets
 
Annual Rate
First $1 Billion
    0.65 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.59 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.56 %
 

3


 

     Additionally, effective December 29, 2005, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its Management fees equal to 0.14% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.004% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.
     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $56,400, $0, and $0 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $1,048,000, $538,000, and $15,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $0, $101,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Multi manager Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $298,000, $3,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At August 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $589,000, $225,000, and $137,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. Amounts owed to affiliates by the Portfolio were approximately $241,000, $35,000, and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. Amounts owed to affiliates by the Multi Manager Portfolio were approximately $30,000, $0, and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.

4


 

     Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $7,169 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $2,714, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $54,679,277 collateralized by cash in the amount of $55,463,875. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

GOLDMAN SACHS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust(the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Equity Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A   Class B   Class C   Institutional
   
 
 
 
Shares Issued
    4,001,214       1,579,948       555,665       489,949  
Net Assets 08/31/2006
  $ 113,844,920     $ 43,750,594     $ 15,333,901     $ 14,113,359  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 08/31/2006
  $ 28.45     $ 27.69     $ 27.60     $ 28.81  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 


 

A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Fund, which are subject to taxes. Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
Capital Loss Carryforward*   The Portfolio   Growth and Income Fund

 
 
Expiring 2010
  $     $ 1,571  
 
Total
  $     $ 1,571  
 
 
*   Expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

2


 

E. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, transfers uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
F. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
G. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     The Investment Adviser has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the Fund which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of December 29, 2005 to achieve the rates listed below:
         
Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Rate

First $1 Billion
    0.70 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.63 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.60 %
 
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.054% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.

     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $569,000, $300, and $0 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $12,000, $42,000, and $7,000 for Management Fee waiver, Transfer Agent Fee Reduction, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $161,000, $15,000, $14,000 and $222,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Advisory Fee Waiver and Registration Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At August 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $677,000, $293,000, and $183,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. In addition, amounts owed to affiliates by The Portfolio were approximately $0, $0, and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
     Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $5,370 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $483, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $49,911,437 collateralized by cash in the amount of $51,167,925. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

GOLDMAN SACHS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Equity Income Portfolio and Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolios”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Portfolios will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolios will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Portfolios will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolios will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolios will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolios. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolios. The Portfolios will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A
  Class B
  Class C
  Institutional
Shares Issued
    7,043,981       3,721,258       1,168,587       1,371,283  
Net Assets 08/31/2006
  $ 200,419,562     $ 103,045,959     $ 32,247,845     $ 39,500,843  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 08/31/2006
  $ 28.45     $ 27.69     $ 27.60     $ 28.81  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 


 

A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Fund, which are subject to taxes. Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Sharholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
Capital Loss Carryforward*
  The Portfolios
  Growth and Income Fund
Expiring 2010
  $     $ 1,571  
Expiring 2011
    21,768        
 
Total
  $ 21,768     $ 1,571  
 
     
*   Expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.
E. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to

2


 

repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, transfers uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
F. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
G. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     The Investment Adviser has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the Fund which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of December 29, 2005 to achieve the rates listed below:
         
Average Daily Net Assets
 
Annual Rate
 
First $1 Billion
    0.70 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.63 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.60 %
 
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.054% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.
     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended August 31,

3


 

2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $569,000, $300, and $0 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $12,000, $42,000, and $7,000 for Management Fee waiver, Transfer Agent Fee Reduction, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolios’ expense reductions were approximately, $327,000, $30,000, $73,000, and $629,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Advisory Fee waiver and Registration Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At August 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $677,000, $293,000, and $183,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. Amounts owed to affiliates by the Portfolios were approximately $0, $0, and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
     Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $5,370 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $483, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $49,911,437 collateralized by cash in the amount of $51,167,925. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

GOLDMAN SACHS GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A   Class B   Class C   Institutional
   
 
 
 
Shares Issued
    3,042,768       2,141,310       612,922       881,334  
Net Assets 08/31/2006
  $ 86,574,642     $ 59,295,365     $ 16,913,944     $ 25,387,484  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 08/31/2006
  $ 28.45     $ 27.69     $ 27.60     $ 28.81  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 


 

A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Fund, which are subject to taxes. Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
Capital Loss Carryforward*   The Portfolio   Growth and Income Fund

 
 
Expiring 2010
  $     $ 1,571  
Expiring 2011
  21,768        
 
Total
  $ 21,768     $ 1,571  
 
 
*   Expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

2


 

E. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, transfers uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
F. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
G. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     The Investment Adviser has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the Fund which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of December 29, 2005 to achieve the rates listed below:
         
Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Rate



First $1 Billion
    0.70 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.63 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.60 %
 
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.054% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.

Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $569,000, $300, and $0 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $12,000, $42,000, and $7,000 for Management Fee waiver, Transfer Agent Fee Reduction, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $166,000, $15,000, $59,000 and $407,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Advisory Fee waiver and Registration Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At August 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $677,000, $293,000, and $183,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. In addition, amounts owed to affiliates by The Portfolio were approximately $0, $0, and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
     Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $5,370 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $483, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $49,911,437 collateralized by cash in the amount of $51,167,925. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

GOLDMAN SACHS CAPITAL GROWTH FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (“EGF” or “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation and is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. EGF currently has 2 active Funds, including the Growth Fund (the “Enterprise Group Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-ended management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Large Cap Growth Fund Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and Class A of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and Class B of the Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and Class C of the Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and Class Y of the Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and the Portfolio (“the Portfolios”) into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolios will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolios. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolios. The Portfolios will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A
  Class B
  Class C

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted.
     Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net capital losses are carried forward to future years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gain distributions.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):

E. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to segregate cash or securities equal to the minimum ‘‘initial margin’’ requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (‘‘variation margin’’) are paid or received by the Funds, dependant on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
     The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“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.
G. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
H. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     GSAM currently receives a Management Fee on a contractual basis at the following rates:
         
Average Daily Net Assets
 
Annual Rate
 
First $1 Billion
    1.00 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.90 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.80 %
 
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.004% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.

     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.
     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $180,700, $1000, and $100 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $0, $734,000, $3,000, and $69,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction and Transfer Agent Fee, respectively. The Enterprise Group Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $408,000, $175,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $173,000, $149,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At August 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $1,404,000, $411,000, and $243,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. Amounts owed to affiliates by the Portfolios were approximately $0.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
     Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $18,394 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $4,166, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $78,901,761 collateralized by cash in the amount of $80,977,750. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

GOLDMAN SACHS GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio of the Trust. The Fund offers five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund charges a maximum initial sales charge of 4.50%. The contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5.00% maximum declining to zero after six years for the Fund. The Class C shares of the Fund has a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service shares are not subject to a sales charge. Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) as distributor of the Fund receives such sales loads of which a certain portion may be retained.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Government Securities Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. Class A of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on October 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the October 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A   Class B   Class C   Institutional
   
 
 
 
Shares Issued
    7,092,694       3,253,704       886,666       3,057,602  
Net Assets 10/31/2006
  $ 103,852,245     $ 47,643,606     $ 12,975,393     $ 44,720,442  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 10/31/2006
  $ 14.64     $ 14.64     $ 14.63     $ 14.63  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


 

A. Investment Valuation Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service or provided by dealers in such securities. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the investment adviser are valued based on yield equivalents, pricing matrices or other sources, under valuation procedures established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. Net investment income (other than class specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
     Certain mortgage security paydown gains and losses are recorded as interest income (loss) and are included in interest income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Original issue discounts (OID) on debt securities are accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis of that security. Market discounts and market premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized to interest income over the expected life of the security with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis of that security.
     Pursuant to applicable law and procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, securities transactions in portfolio securities (including futures transactions) may be effected from time to time through Goldman Sachs or an affiliate. In order for Goldman Sachs or an affiliate, acting as agent, to effect securities or futures transactions for a Fund, the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by Goldman Sachs or an affiliate must be reasonable and fair compared to the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities or futures contracts.
C. Expenses Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line or “pro-rata” basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to their respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares/Class P bear all expenses and fees relating to their Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares of the Fund separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distribution to Shareholders It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net capital losses are carried forward to future years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gain distributions.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gains, or as a tax return of capital.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):

Total
$ 1,264 $ 11,925
 
*   Expiration occurs on October 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.
E. Foreign Currency Translations The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investment valuations, foreign currency and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates; and (ii) purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

     Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions will represent: (i) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (ii) gains and losses from the sale of investments (applicable to fixed income securities); (iii) currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward exchange contracts; and (iv) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on securities and derivative instruments are segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities and derivative instruments, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on securities and derivative instruments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates are included as increases and decreases in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions.
F. Forward Sales Contracts — The Fund may enter into forward security sales of mortgage-backed securities in which the Fund will sell securities in the current month for delivery of securities defined by pool-stipulated characteristics on a specified future date. The value of the contract is recorded as an asset and a liability on the Fund’s records with the difference between its market value and expected cash proceeds recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon delivery of the security sold.
G. Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Fund will realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
     The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Fund’s strategies and potentially result in a loss.
H. Mortgage Dollar Rolls — The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells securities in the current month for delivery and simultaneously contract with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. For financial reporting and tax reporting purposes, the Fund will treat mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions; one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale.
     During the settlement period between sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to accrued interest and/or receive principal payments on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of those securities. In the event the buyer of the securities under a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of proceeds of the transaction may be restricted pending a determination by, or with respect to, the other party.
I. 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. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management or investment advisory agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“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.
J. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis — The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it is required to have segregated assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments. Credit risks exist on these commitments to the extent of any unrealized gains on the underlying securities purchased and any

3


 

unrealized losses on the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. In addition to the normal credit and market risks, transactions with delayed settlement dates may expose the Funds to greater risk that such transactions may not be consummated.
K. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, swap contracts, written options, mortgage dollar rolls, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
L. Swap Contracts — The Fund may enter into swap transactions for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Fund, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Fund must consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, market, liquidity, elements of credit, legal and documentation risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund may invest in the following types of swaps:
     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 specific prices, rates or indices for a specified amount of an underlying notional 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 the Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, the Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.
     Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically a corporate issuer on its obligation. A Fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of a corporate issuer or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. As a seller of protection, a Fund generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. If the Fund enters into a buy contract and no credit event occurs, its exposure is limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. In addition, if the Fund enters into a sale contract and a credit event occurs, the value of the referenced obligation received by the Fund reduced by the period payments previously received may be less than the maximum payment it pays to the counterparty, resulting in a loss to the Fund.
     Swaps are marked to market daily using either pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or models prices and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. An upfront payment made and/or received by the Funds, is recorded as an asset and/or liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is only recorded as a realized gain or loss when either the contract’s term ends or, with respect to a Credit Default Swap, a credit event occurs. Periodic payments received or made on swap contracts are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Gains or losses are also realized upon early termination of the swap agreements.
M. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities — The Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), specially structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index (“CPI”). The adjustments for interest income due to inflation are reflected in interest income on the Statements of Operations. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
     As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management fee”), computed daily and payable monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     For the period from February 28, 2006 through October 31, 2006, GSAM received a Management fee on a contractual basis at the following rates:
         
    Government
Average Daily Net Assets   Income

Up to $1 billion
    0.54 %
Next $1 billion
    0.49  
Over $2 billion
    0.47  
 
     Prior to February 28, 2006, the contractual Management fee for the Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.54%. For the period after February 28, 2006, GSAM entered into a voluntary fee reduction commitment for the Fund, in order to achieve the rates in the above table.
     GSAM has also voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” (excluding Management fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Share fees, Account Service fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.004% of the average daily net assets of the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2006. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to Class B or Class C Shares.
     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $35,800, $200, and $8,900 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.16% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service/Class P Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service/Class P Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended October 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $0, $746,000, $21,000, and $46,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense

5


 

Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, and Transfer Agent Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $760,000, $0, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At October 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $291,000, $122,000, and $69,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. Amounts owed to affiliates by the Portfolio were approximately $115,000, $0, and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively.

GOLDMAN SACHS ENHANCED INCOME FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering four classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Institutional and Administration. Class A shares charge a maximum initial sales charge of 1.50%. The contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5.00% maximum declining to zero after six years for the Fund. Institutional and Administration shares are not subject to a sales charge.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Short Duration Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. Class A and Class C of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on October 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the October 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                         
    Class A   Class B   Institutional
   
 
 
Shares Issued
    2,195,827       675,169       2,224,646  
Net Assets 10/31/2006
  $ 21,365,397     $ 6,569,396     $ 21,623,558  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 10/31/2006
  $ 9.73     $ 9.73     $ 9.72  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service or provided by dealers in such securities. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are


 

not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the investment adviser are valued based on yield equivalents, pricing matrices or other sources, under valuation procedures established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. Net investment income (other than class specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
     Certain mortgage security paydown gains and losses are recorded as interest income (loss) and are included in interest income in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Original issue discounts (OID) on debt securities are accreted to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the cost basis of that security. Market discounts and market premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized to interest income over the expected life of the security with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis of that security.
     Pursuant to applicable law and procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, securities transactions in portfolio securities (including futures transactions) may be effected from time to time through Goldman Sachs or an affiliate. In order for Goldman Sachs or an affiliate, acting as agent, to effect securities or futures transactions for a Fund, the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by Goldman Sachs or an affiliate must be reasonable and fair compared to the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities or futures contracts.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A and Class B shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Administration Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to their Administration Plan. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net capital losses are carried forward to future years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gain distributions.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
Capital Loss Carryforward*   The Portfolio   Enhanced Income Fund

Total
  $ 539     $ 80,553  
 
*   Expiration occurs on October 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

E. Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to segregate cash or securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (“variation margin”) are paid or received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
     The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. These risks may decrease the effectiveness of the Fund’s strategies and potentially result in a loss.
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Funds seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management or investment advisory agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“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.
G. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis — The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it is required to have segregated assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments. Credit risks exist on these commitments to the extent of any unrealized gains on the underlying securities purchased and any unrealized losses on the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. In addition to the normal credit and market risks, transactions with delayed settlement dates may expose the Fund to greater risk that such transactions may not be consummated.
H. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, swap contracts, written options, mortgage dollar rolls, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate liquid assets with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
I. Swap Contracts — The Fund may enter into swap transactions for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Fund, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, market, liquidity, elements of credit, legal and documentation risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
     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 specific prices, rates or indices for a specified amount of an underlying notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
     Swaps are marked to market daily using either pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or models prices and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. An upfront payment made and/or received by the Funds, is recorded as an asset and/or liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is only recorded as a realized gain or loss

3


 

when either the contract’s term ends or, with respect to a Credit Default Swap, a credit event occurs. Periodic payments received or made on swap contracts are recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Gains or losses are also realized upon early termination of the swap agreements.
J. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities — The Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), specially structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index (“CPI”). The adjustments for interest income due to inflation are reflected in interest income on the Statements of Operations. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     GSAM receives a Management fee on a contractual basis at the following rates:
         
Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Rate  

 
Up to $1 Billion
    0.25 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.23 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.22 %
 
     Prior to February 28, 2006, the contractual Management Fees for the Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.25%. Prior to February 28, 2006, GSAM entered into a voluntary fee reduction commitment for the Fund in order to achieve the rates in the above table. In addition, GSAM voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee to 0.20% as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” (excluding Management fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Share fees, Account Service fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. For the year ended October 31, 2006, the Other Expense limitations for the Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets were 0.014%.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares. Additionally Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealer are entitled to receive, under the Plan, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares.
     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $3,800 and $0 for Class A and Class B, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.16% of the average daily net assets for Class A and Class B, and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Administration Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted an Administration Plan for Administration Shares. This plan allows for Administration Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Administration Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25%, of the average daily net asset value of

4


 

the Administration Shares.
     For the twelve months ended October 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees and reimburse other expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and transfer agent resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $133,000, $5,000, $296,000 and $7,000 for Management Fee waiver, Transfer Agent Fee Reduction, Other Expense Reimbursement and Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $159,000, $0, $0 and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Transfer Agent Fee Reduction, Other Expense Reimbursement and Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At October 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $35,000, $8,000, $33,000 and $10,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, over reimbursement and Transfer Agent fees, respectively.

GOLDMAN SACHS PRIME OBLIGATION PORTFOLIO
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Prime Obligation Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is a diversified portfolio offering six classes of shares – ILA Units, ILA Administration Units, ILA Service Units, ILA Cash Management Shares, ILA Class B Units and ILA Class C Units.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Class A and Class Y of the Fund will be combined with ILA Service Shares of the Portfolio, Class B of the Fund will be combined with ILA Class B Units of the Portfolio and Class C of the Fund will be combined with ILA Class C Units of the Portfolio. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Portfolio will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Fund into the Portfolio. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Portfolio will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Fund. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Portfolio will be distributed to the shareholders of the Fund. The Fund will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Portfolio, which would have been issued on June 30, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the June 30, 2006 net assets of the Portfolio and the net asset value per share of the Portfolio. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                         
    ILA Service   ILA Class B   ILA Class
    Units   Units   C Units
   
 
 
Shares Issued
    81,962,049       23,562,833       9,541,449  
Net Assets 06/30/2006
  $ 81,964,474     $ 23,563,065     $ 9,541,774  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 06/30/2006
  $ 1.00     $ 1.00     $ 1.00  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 


 

A. Investment Valuation — ILA uses the amortized-cost method, as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Act, for valuing portfolio securities, which approximates market value. Under this method, all investments purchased at a discount or at a premium are valued by accreting or amortizing the difference between the original purchase price and maturity value of the issue over the period to maturity.
B. Security Transactions and Interest Income — Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. Net investment income (other than class specific expenses) and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of units/shares of the Portfolios based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Federal Taxes — It is the Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable and tax-exempt income to its unit/shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Income distributions to unit/shareholders are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly by the Portfolio.
          The characterization of distributions to unit/shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax rules, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
     The Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                                 
Capital Loss Carryforward*   The Fund   ILA Prime Obligation Portfolio

 
 
Expiring 2013
  $     $ 8  
 
Total
  $     $ 8  
 
     
*   Expiration occurs on December 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.
D. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Portfolio of the Trust are allocated to the Portfolios on either a straight-line or pro rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
Unit/Shareholders of Administration, Service, Class B, Class C and Cash Management Share classes bear all expenses and fees paid to service organizations under Distribution and Service, Administration and Service Plans as described in footnote 5.
E. Forward Commitment Transactions — The Portfolio may enter into forward commitments. These transactions involve a commitment by a Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Portfolio is required to segregate liquid assets equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions. The securities in the forward commitment transactions do not begin to accrue interest income until the settlement date of these securities. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the security or from the inability of counterparties to meet their obligations with respect to the terms of the transaction.
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Portfolio, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Portfolio may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Portfolio seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolio’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Portfolio, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset

Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, transfers uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Portfolio. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Portfolio, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Portfolio’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit the total operating expenses of the Portfolio (excluding Distribution and Service fees, Administration, Cash Management and Service plan fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) such that total operating expenses will not exceed 0.434% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Portfolio is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursement, if any.
     For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees and reimburse other expenses. In addition, the Portfolio has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Portfolio’s expenses. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $19,000, $152,000, and $2,000 for CMS Share Distribution Fee Waiver, Other Expense Reimbursements, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $0, $644,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio, which offers Class B Units and Class C Units, has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services and personal and account maintenance fees equal to, on an annual basis, 0.75% and 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Units which may be reallowed to Authorized Dealers.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio, which offers Cash Management Shares, has adopted a Distribution Plan. Under the Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs and/or Authorized Dealers are entitled to a monthly fee from the Portfolio for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Cash Management Shares. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Distribution fees equal to 0.43%, on an annual basis, of the average daily net assets attributable to Cash Management Shares.
     Goldman Sachs acts as ILA’s Distributor under a Distribution Agreement for which it receives no additional compensation other than amounts related to the Distribution and Service Plan except for a portion of the Class B and Class C Units contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, Goldman Sachs has advised the Portfolio that it retained approximately $100 in CDSC charges from Class C Units, and did not retain any amounts from Class B Units.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio, has adopted an Administration and Service Plan (“the Plan”). The plan allows for Administration Units, Service Units, and Cash Management Shares, to compensate service organizations including affiliates of Goldman Sachs for providing varying levels of account administration and unitholder/shareholder liaison services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such units. The Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to 0.15%, 0.40% and 0.50%(on an annualized basis), respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the respective Units/Shares.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as the Transfer Agent for the Portfolio and is entitled to a fee calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.04% of the average daily net assets of each class.
     At June 30, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Portfolio were approximately $151,000, $26,000, $17,000 and $54,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent fees and Affiliated Dealers, respectively. In addition, amounts owed to affiliates by The Fund were approximately $0, $0, $0 and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent fees and Affiliated Dealers, respectively.

Dear Shareholder:
      On behalf of the Board of Trustees of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (“Enterprise Multimanager Trust”), we are pleased to invite you to a special meeting of shareholders of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s funds named above (each fund, an “AXA Enterprise Fund” and, together, the “AXA Enterprise Funds”) to be held at [                     a.m.] (Eastern time) on April 25, 2007 at the offices of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of January                    , 2007 (the “Reorganization Agreement”), by and between Enterprise Multimanager Trust and the Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”), which contemplates the reorganization of each of the AXA Enterprise Funds into a corresponding fund of GST (each a “GST Fund” and, together, the “GST Funds”) as follows:
     
AXA Enterprise Funds   GST Funds
     
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund
  Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund†
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund
  Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund†
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Growth Fund
  Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Value Fund
  Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund
  Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund
AXA Enterprise Multimanager International Equity Fund

  Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio
AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund
  Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio
AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund
  Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio
AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund
  Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio
 
In a separate combined proxy statement/prospectus, it is also proposed that the: (1) AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; and (2) AXA Enterprise Equity Fund of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund.
      Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s Trustees recommend that you vote to approve the proposed reorganizations.


 

      In considering these matters, you should note:
•  Similar Investment Objectives and Policies
      Each of the AXA Enterprise Funds is proposed to be reorganized into an existing GST Fund, each of which has investment objectives and policies that are similar to those of its corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund.
•  Same Aggregate Value of Shares
      The GST Fund shares you receive in the reorganization will have the same total dollar value as the total dollar value of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares that you held immediately prior to the reorganization. Your receipt of those GST Fund shares is intended to be tax-free under the federal tax law (although there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position), and no front-end or contingent deferred sales charges will be charged as a result of the exchange.
•  Reasons for the Reorganizations
      At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial, Inc. and AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA”), the investment adviser to the AXA Enterprise Funds, informed the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees that AXA had entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that each AXA Enteprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into its corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees approve the proposed reorganizations. After reviewing and considering, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Funds, GSAM and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees determined that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into corresponding GST Funds is in the best interest of the shareholders of each of the AXA Enterprise Funds.
      To see how the reorganizations will affect your AXA Enterprise Funds, please carefully review the enclosed materials where you will find information on the expenses, investment policies and services relating to the corresponding GST Funds.
* * * * *
      The formal Notice of Special Meeting, a Combined Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, a Proxy Ballot and certain GST Fund prospectuses are enclosed. If you own shares in more than one of the AXA Enterprise Funds, more than one Proxy Ballot accompanies these materials. Please be sure to vote and return each Proxy Ballot.

AXA ENTERPRISE MULTIMANAGER FUNDS TRUST
GOLDMAN SACHS TRUST
                    , 2007
Questions & Answers
For Shareholders of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust:
      The following questions and answers provide an overview of the proposals to reorganize your portfolio of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (“Enterprise Multimanager Trust”) into a corresponding portfolio offered by the Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”). We also encourage you to read the full text of the combined proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy/ Prospectus”) that follows.
 
Q: What are Enterprise Multimanager Trust shareholders being asked to vote upon?
 
A: Enterprise Multimanager Trust shareholders are being asked in the attached Proxy/ Prospectus to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of January      , 2007 (the “Reorganization Agreement”) under which each of the funds offered by Enterprise Multimanager Trust (except for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Health Care Fund) (each, an “AXA Enterprise Fund” and, together, the “AXA Enterprise Funds”) would reorganize into a corresponding fund offered by GST (each, a “GST Fund” and, together, the “GST Funds”). Enterprise Multimanager Trust shareholders will vote on the Reorganization Agreement on a fund by fund basis.
 
Q. Why has the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into corresponding GST Funds been recommended?
 
A: The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Board of Trustees (the “Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees”) have determined that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into corresponding GST Funds is in the best interest of the shareholders of each of the AXA Enterprise Funds. At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial, Inc. and AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable” and together with AXA Financial, Inc., “AXA”), the investment adviser to the AXA Enterprise Funds, informed the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees that AXA had entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that each AXA Enterprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into its corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Trust Trustees approve the proposed reorganizations.
 
The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees reviewed and considered, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Funds, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees also considered that neither Enterprise Multimanager Trust nor GST will bear any direct fees or expenses in connection with the reorganization or any explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the AXA Enterprise Funds in preparation for, or immediately following, the reorganization. Under the Reorganization Agreement, which contemplates the reorganization of each of the AXA Enterprise Funds into a corresponding GST Fund, all of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement whether or not the transactions contemplated are concluded will be paid by AXA Equitable (or an affiliate) or GSAM (or an affiliate).

Q: What is the anticipated timing of the reorganizations?
 
A: The special meeting of shareholders to consider the proposal is scheduled to occur on April 25, 2007. If all necessary approvals are obtained, the proposed reorganizations will likely take place immediately before the opening of business on April 30, 2007.
 
Q: Who will receive the Proxy/ Prospectus material?
 
A: The Proxy/ Prospectus has been mailed to all persons and entities that held shares of record in an AXA Enterprise Fund on February 12, 2007. Please note that in some cases record ownership of and/or voting authority over AXA Enterprise Fund shares may reside with a fiduciary or other agent. In these cases, the fiduciary or other agent may receive the Proxy/ Prospectus.
 
Q: How are the AXA Enterprise Funds proposed to be reorganized?
 
A: As you may know, Enterprise Multimanager Trust consists of thirteen separate mutual funds, twelve of which would be affected by the proposed reorganizations. The Reorganization Agreement for these AXA Enterprise Funds, approved by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, contemplates the reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Funds into a corresponding GST Fund having similar investment objectives and policies. Under the Reorganization Agreement, each AXA Enterprise Fund will be reorganized into the corresponding GST Fund listed directly opposite such AXA Enterprise Fund in the table below.

At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into the GST Funds, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, fourteen additional portfolios of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. In this regard, it is proposed that: (1) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund, the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; and (2) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund, the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund. A separate proxy/ prospectus has been mailed to shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust.
 
Each GST Fund has investment objectives and policies that are similar to the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund being reorganized into it.
 
Q: Which class of shares of the GST Funds will I receive in the reorganizations?
 
A: Holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class A Shares will receive GST Fund Class A Shares, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class B Shares will receive GST Fund Class B Shares, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class C Shares will receive GST Fund Class C Shares, holders of AXA Enterprise Fund Class Y Shares will receive GST Fund Institutional Shares and holders of AXA Enterprise Funds Class P Shares will receive GST Fund Class A Shares.

The sales loads and Rule 12b-1 fees for each class of shares of the GST Funds generally are similar to those of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Funds, except that Class A shares of the GST Funds (other than the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund) are subject to a higher front-end sales load equal to 5.50% of the offering price for Class A shares (versus 4.75% for Class A shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Funds), but a lower Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of each GST Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (versus either 0.30% or 0.45% for Class A shares of the AXA Enterprise Funds).
 
If the reorganization of an AXA Enterprise Fund is approved by its shareholders, shareholders of that AXA Enterprise Fund who do not wish to have their AXA Enterprise Fund shares exchanged for shares of a corresponding GST Fund as part of the reorganization should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you will recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference, if any, between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them. In addition, if you redeem your shares prior to the reorganization and your shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, your redemption proceeds will be reduced by any applicable sales charge.
 
Q: What are the key differences between my AXA Enterprise Fund and the corresponding GST Fund?
 
A. AXA Equitable has recommended the acquiring fund in each reorganization based on, among other factors, its evaluation of the compatibility of your fund’s investment objective and policies with those of the acquiring fund. There are, however, certain differences in investment objectives, principal investment policies and strategies, and principal risks between your fund(s) and the acquiring fund(s). Please see the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus for more details on these differences, including comparative data on fees and performance. The following chart provides a brief summary of some of the more significant factors considered by your fund’s boards.

    The AXA Enterprise Fund may invest in foreign securities to a greater extent than the GST Fund. In addition, the AXA Enterprise Fund is non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), which means that it may invest in a limited number of issuers. The GST Fund also may invest in a relatively few number of issuers in comparison to other funds but is considered diversified under the 1940 Act.
      The GST Fund is substantially larger than the AXA Enterprise Fund with net assets of approximately $275 million versus $60 million.

      The net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (including underlying fund expenses) for the last fiscal year was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund.

Sachs Growth
Strategy Fund
    The GST Fund normally invests about 80% of its assets in equity investments and 20% in fixed income investments, while the AXA Enterprise Fund normally invests about 70% of its assets in equity investments and 30% in fixed income investments.
      The GST Fund is substantially larger than the AXA Enterprise Fund with net assets of approximately $1.4 billion versus $129 million.
      The net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (including underlying fund expenses) for the last fiscal year was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund.
Q: What are the costs and federal tax implications to shareholders in connection with the proposed reorganizations?
 
A: Neither Enterprise Multimanager Trust nor GST will bear any direct fees or expenses in connection with the reorganizations or any explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the AXA Enterprise Funds in preparation for, or immediately following, the reorganizations. Under the Reorganization Agreement, GSAM (or an affiliate) and AXA Equitable (or an affiliate) have agreed to pay all of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement whether or not the transactions contemplated are concluded.
 
No sales charge will be imposed on the shares of a GST Fund issued to you in a reorganization, which means that the aggregate value of the GST Fund shares issued to you will be equal to the aggregate value of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares that you own immediately prior to the reorganization. In addition, each reorganization is intended to be tax-free under the federal tax law (however, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position). However, immediately prior to the reorganizations, each AXA Enterprise Fund will declare and pay a final distribution to its shareholders of all of its investment company taxable income (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for taxable years ending on or before the effective time of its reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, recognized in those years. The sale of securities by an AXA Enterprise Fund prior to its reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business or in anticipation of the reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution it makes before the reorganization.

Q: Can one of the proposed reorganizations take place without the others?
A:      Yes. The proposed reorganizations are not conditioned on each other. If shareholders of one AXA Enterprise Fund approve the proposed reorganization of their AXA Enterprise Fund, it will proceed whether or not the proposed reorganizations for the other AXA Enterprise Funds proceed. However, no reorganization of any AXA Enterprise Fund will be consummated until either all of the AXA Enterprise Funds of Enterprise Multimanager Trust approve the Reorganization Agreement or shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds with combined total assets under management of at least $1,000,000,000 approve the Reorganization Agreement. Under certain circumstances detailed in the Reorganization Agreement, an AXA Enterprise Fund reorganization involving one or more AXA Enterprise Funds may be consummated with a lesser amount of combined total assets under management.

SUMMARY
      The following is a summary of certain information contained in this Proxy/ Prospectus and the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement governs the terms of the Reorganization and is attached as Appendix A.
Board’s Consideration of the Reorganizations
      At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial, Inc. and AXA Equitable (“AXA”), the investment adviser to the AXA Enterprise Funds, informed the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees that AXA had entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that each AXA Enterprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into its corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees approve the proposed reorganizations.
      In addition to the October 23 meeting, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees met on December 7 and December 28, 2006 to consider the Reorganization Agreement and the Reorganization of each AXA Enterprise Fund into its Corresponding GST Fund. The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)) of Enterprise Multimanager Trust (the “Independent Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees”), together with their independent legal counsel, also met on November 13, 2006, and in executive session at the October 23 and December 7 meetings to consider the Reorganizations. After reviewing and considering, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Funds, GSAM and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, including all of the Independent Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, determined that participation in the Reorganizations, as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, was in the best interests of the shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations. For additional information, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Reasons for the Reorganizations and Board Considerations below.”
      The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, including all of the Independent Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, unanimously recommend that shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement.
      At a meeting held on                     , 2006, the GST Board of Trustees (the “GST Trustees”) similarly found that participation in the Reorganizations is in the best interests of each GST Fund and that the interests of the shareholders of each GST Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations.

      Each GST Fund has investment objectives and policies that are similar to the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund being reorganized into it. You should note that an investment in each Fund is subject to specific risks arising from the types of securities in which the Fund invests and general risks arising from investing in any mutual fund. There is no assurance that either Fund will meet its investment objective, and investors could lose money by investing in a Fund. As with all mutual funds, an investment in a Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
      As set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, each Reorganization between an AXA Enterprise Fund and its Corresponding GST Fund would involve:
  The acquisition of all of the assets of an AXA Enterprise Fund by its Corresponding GST Fund and the assumption by that GST Fund of all of the liabilities (other than those liabilities specifically excluded under the Reorganization Agreement) of the AXA Enterprise Fund, in exchange for the number of shares of the corresponding classes of the GST Fund noted in the above chart having aggregate values equal to the net asset values of the shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s corresponding classes of shares noted in the above chart as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective time of the Reorganization;
 
  The distribution of the Corresponding GST Fund’s corresponding classes of shares to each holder of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class P Shares and Class Y Shares (as applicable) of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the effective time of the Reorganization; and
 
  The complete liquidation of the AXA Enterprise Fund.

3


 

      As a result of the Reorganizations, each AXA Enterprise Fund shareholder will become a shareholder of its Corresponding GST Fund and will hold, immediately after its Reorganization, shares in such Corresponding GST Fund having a total dollar value equal to the total dollar value of the shares such shareholder held in the AXA Enterprise Fund immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reorganization. Each Reorganization is intended to be tax-free under the federal tax law (although there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position) and shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds will not pay any sales charge as a result of the Reorganizations.
      If approved, the Reorganizations will occur as of the opening of business on or about April 30, 2007, or another date selected by Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST. Approval of each Reorganization requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the relevant AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. See “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations” and “Voting Information” below.
      At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into the GST Funds, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, fourteen additional portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and one portfolio of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. In this regard, it is proposed that: (1) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund, the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; and (2) in addition to the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund, the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund. The Reorganizations will be completed whether or not the reorganizations of the portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust or The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. is completed. However, no reorganization of any AXA Enterprise Fund will be consummated until either all of the AXA Enterprise Funds of Enterprise Multimanager Trust approve the Reorganization Agreement or shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds with combined total assets of at least $1,000,000,000 approve the Reorganization Agreement. Under certain circumstances detailed in the Reorganization Agreement, an AXA Enterprise Fund reorganization involving one or more AXA Enterprise Funds may be consummated with a lesser amount of combined total assets under management.
      Although each AXA Enterprise Fund has a similar investment objective and principal strategies to its Corresponding GST Fund, some of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings may not be permissible portfolio holdings for its Corresponding GST Fund. Therefore, some portion of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings may be sold prior to or immediately following the Reorganization. To the extent that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings are sold prior to the Reorganization, the proceeds of such sales will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that the Corresponding GST Fund may hold. The possible need for an AXA Enterprise Fund to dispose of certain portfolio investments in connection with its Reorganization could result in selling such investments at a disadvantageous time and price. The sale of securities either prior to the Reorganization or shortly thereafter could result in the AXA Enterprise Fund or its Corresponding GST Fund realizing gains (which may be taxable) or losses that would not otherwise have been realized but for the Reorganization. Such a sale of assets and the reinvestment of the proceeds would involve brokerage and other transactional costs. In this event, GSAM will pay the reasonable explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of either Fund in connection with the Reorganization.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations
      It is intended that the Reorganizations will not result in the recognition, for federal income tax purposes, of gain or loss by the AXA Enterprise Funds, the GST Funds or the former’s shareholders, although there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position. However, immediately prior to its Reorganization, each AXA Enterprise Fund will declare and pay a distribution to its shareholders of all of its investment company taxable income (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for taxable years ending on or before the effective time of its Reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, recognized in those years. The sale of securities by an AXA Enterprise Fund prior to its Reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business or

4


 

in anticipation of the Reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution it makes prior to the Reorganization.
      As a condition to the closing of each Reorganization, Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST each will receive an opinion from GST’s counsel, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP (based on certain facts, qualifications, assumptions and representations), to the effect that each Reorganization, for federal income tax purposes, will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). See “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Federal Income Tax Consequences,” below.
Voting Information
      The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees are furnishing this Proxy/ Prospectus in connection with the solicitation of proxies. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2007, will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no instruction is made, the named proxies will vote in favor of the proposal set forth in the Notice of Meeting. Proxies may be revoked at any time before they are exercised by submitting to Enterprise Multimanager Trust a written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. For additional information, see “Voting Information” below.
Proposal 1(a): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities, including at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes measured at the time of purchase) (“Net Assets”) in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in U.S. issuers, including foreign companies that are traded in the United States. However, it is currently anticipated that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its Net Assets in such equity investments.
 
Each sub-adviser generally chooses investments that include either companies with above average growth prospects, companies selling at reasonable valuations, or both. Among other things, these processes involve researching and evaluating individual companies for potential investment. Each sub-adviser may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as to invest in a company offering superior investment opportunities.   The Fund’s investments are selected using both a variety of quantitative techniques, derived from fundamental research including but not limited to valuation, momentum, profitability and earnings in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return, while maintaining risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the S&P 500® Index. The Fund seeks a broadly diversified portfolio of large cap and blue chip equity investments representing all major sectors of the U.S. economy. The Fund is not required to limit its investments to securities in the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are limited to securities that are considered cash equivalents.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-advisers believe provide opportunities for capital growth, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund also may invest, to a limited extent, in foreign securities, including depositary receipts of foreign based companies, including companies in developing countries.   The Fund may make foreign investments, including American and global depositary receipts. The Fund generally does not invest in securities of emerging market issuers. Equity securities of foreign issuers must be traded in the United States.

For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets (not including securities lending collateral and any investment of that collateral) measured at time of purchase (“Total Assets”) in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises (“U.S. Government Securities”); commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group (“Standard & Poor’s” or “S&P”), P-2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or having a comparable rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”); certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 

Investment Advisers
 
Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by investment sub-advisers selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-advisers are AllianceBernstein Management L.P., Janus Capital Management LLC and Thornburg Investment Management, Inc.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, polices and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund are, in general, similar. One difference between the Funds is that the GST Fund seeks capital appreciation and dividend income as part of its objective, while the AXA Enterprise Fund seeks only capital appreciation. In addition, the GST Fund normally invests at least 80% of its Net Assets in equity investments in U.S. issuers (including foreign companies traded in the U.S.) and generally invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of large-cap and blue chip equity investments, while the AXA Enterprise Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities, including at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies. Another difference regarding the Funds that should be noted is that the investment adviser for the GST Fund, unlike the investment sub-advisers for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund, relies primarily on a quantitative investment style.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization (assuming only the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund into the GST Fund and then assuming the Reorganization of both the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund and the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund into the GST Fund). The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists, (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 1”) and (4) the same GST Fund if both AXA Enterprise Funds are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 2”).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class P Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and redeem those shares within one year of the date of purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions on those shares.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following fee reduction commitment for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Structured U.S. Equity Fund
    0.65%     First $1 Billion
      0.59%     Next $1 Billion
      0.56%     Over $2 Billion
Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.65%. Additionally, GSAM is currently voluntarily waiving a portion of its management fee equal to 0.10% based on the average daily net assets of the GST Fund.
 
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.65% for Class A Shares, 2.20% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.45% for Class P Shares and 1.20% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
 
For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, a portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction, the Net Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) for the AXA Enterprise Fund was 1.63% for Class A Shares, 2.18% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.43% for Class P Shares and 1.18% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma figure 1”), and (4) the same GST fund if it acquires both the AXA Enterprise Fund and the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund (i.e. the “Combined Fund Pro Forma, figure 2”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and Class P Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable

14


 

Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Capitalization
      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of August 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share. For this Reorganization, because more than one AXA Enterprise Fund is being reorganized into the GST Fund, the Pro forma Combined Fund reflects both Funds being reorganized into the GST Fund and only the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund being reorganized into the GST Fund.

Proposal 1(b): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The GST Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA

Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Multimanager   Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap
Growth Fund   Growth Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks long-term growth of capital.   Seeks long-term growth of capital. Dividend income is a secondary consideration. The Fund seeks this objective through a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers that are expected to have better prospects for earnings growth than the growth rate of the general domestic economy.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the United States. However, it is currently anticipated that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its Net Assets in such equity investments. These issuers will have public stock market capitalizations (based upon shares available for trading on an unrestricted basis) similar to that of the Russell 1000® Growth Index at the time of investment. If the market capitalization of a company held by the Fund moves outside this range, the Fund may, but is not required to, sell the securities. The Fund is not required to limit its investments to securities in the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Growth Index is currently between $1.369 billion and $432.114 billion.
 
The sub-advisers focus on identifying companies expected to grow at a faster rate than the U.S. economy. This process involves researching and evaluating individual companies for potential investment. The sub-advisers may sell a security for a variety of reasons, including to seek more attractive growth prospects.   The adviser emphasizes a company’s growth prospects in analyzing equity investments to be purchased by the Fund. The Fund’s investments are selected using both a variety of quantitative techniques derived from fundamental research including but not limited to valuation, momentum, profitability and earnings in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return. The Fund maintains the risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Fund seeks to maximize expected return while maintaining characteristics similar to its benchmark which generally consists of companies with above average capitalizations and earnings growth expectations and below average dividend yields.

Growth Fund   Growth Fund
     
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-advisers believe provide opportunities for capital growth, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund also may invest, to a limited extent, in foreign securities, including depositary receipts of foreign based companies, including companies in developing countries.   The Fund may make foreign investments, including ADRs and global depositary receipts. The Fund generally does not invest in securities of emerging market issuers. Equity securities of foreign issuers must be traded in the United States.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements; non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by investment sub-advisers selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-advisers are AllianceBernstein L.P., RCM Capital Management LLC and TCW Investment Management Company.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund normally is required to invest at least 80% of its Net Assets in equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers (including foreign issuers that are traded in the U.S.), while the AXA Enterprise Fund is required to invest at least 65% of its assets in such securities. In addition, the AXA Enterprise Fund defines large capitalization companies as companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion at the time of investment, while the investment adviser for the GST Fund targets equity investments that fall within the capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which is currently between $1.369 million and $432.114 billion. One other difference is that the investment adviser to the GST Fund uses a quantitative investment style unlike the investment advisers for the AXA Enterprise Fund.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization (assuming only the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund into the GST Fund and then assuming the reorganization of both the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund and the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund into the GST Fund). The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.

      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists, (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 1”) and (4) the same GST Fund if both AXA Enterprise Funds are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 2”).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class P Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and redeem those shares within one year of the date of purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions on those shares.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following fee reduction commitment for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Structured Large Cap Growth Fund
    0.65%     First $1 Billion
      0.59%     Next $1 Billion
      0.56%     Over $2 Billion
Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.65%. Additionally, GSAM is currently voluntarily waiving a portion of its management fee equal to 0.10% based on the average daily net assets of the GST Fund.
 
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.65% for Class A Shares, 2.20% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.45% for Class P Shares and 1.20% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
 
For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, a portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction, the Net Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) for the AXA Enterprise Fund was 1.63% for Class A Shares, 2.18% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.43% for Class P Shares and 1.18% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma figure 1”) and (4) the same GST Fund of both the AXA Enterprise Fund and the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., the “Combined Fund Pro forma figure 2”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and Class P Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.

29


 

      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of August 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share.

      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Growth Fund into the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The AXA Enterprise Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the

AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

Mid Cap Growth Fund   Opportunities Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks long-term growth of capital.   Seeks long-term growth of capital.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of U.S. mid-capitalization companies. Mid-capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization within the range of companies in the Russell Midcap® Growth Index at the time of investment. The market capitalization of companies included in this index currently (as of December 31, 2006) ranges from approximately $1.18 billion to $21.43 billion.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 90% of its Total Assets in equity investments with a primary focus on mid-cap companies.
 
The sub-advisers utilize an aggressive, growth-oriented investment style that emphasizes companies that are either in or entering into the growth phase of their business cycle. In choosing investments, sub- advisers utilize a process that involves researching and evaluating individual companies for potential investment. The sub-advisers may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as to invest in a company offering superior investment opportunities.   The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity investments that are considered by the adviser to be strategically positioned for long-term growth.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-advisers believe provide opportunities for capital growth, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   Although the Fund invests primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. The fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund, to a limited extent, may invest in foreign securities, including depositary receipts of foreign based companies, including companies in developing countries.

For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non- convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by investment sub-advisers selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-advisers are AllianceBernstein L.P., Franklin Advisers, Inc. and Provident Investment Counsel, Inc.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund normally is required to invest at least 90% of its Total Assets in equity investments and has a primary focus on mid-cap companies, while the AXA Enterprise Fund normally is required to invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of mid-cap companies at the time of investment. Another difference is that the GST Fund may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies, while the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in such securities.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Growth Fund and the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by

38


 

assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class P Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and redeem those shares within one year of the date of purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions on those shares.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following fee reduction commitment for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Growth Opportunities Fund
    1.00%     First $2 Billion
      0.90%     Over $2 Billion
Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 1.00%.
 
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.114% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. The expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.90% for Class A Shares, 2.45% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.70% for Class P Shares and 1.45% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
 
For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, a portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction, the Net Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) for the AXA Enterprise Fund was 1.86% for Class A Shares, 2.41% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.66% for Class P Shares and 1.41% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should

42


 

not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and Class P Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

2 The Russell Midcap® Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the bottom 800 companies in the Russell 1000® Index with a greater than average growth orientation. Securities in this index tend to exhibit higher price-to-book and price-earnings ratios, lower dividend yields and higher forecasted growth values. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Proposal 1(d): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Value Fund into the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Value Fund into the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

Investment Objective   Investment Objective

Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of U.S. mid-capitalization companies. Mid-capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization within the range of companies in the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment. The capitalization of the Russell Midcap® Value Index is currently between $1.3 billion and $19 billion.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in mid-cap issuers with public stock market capitalizations (based upon shares available for trading on an unrestricted basis) within the range of the market capitalization of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment. If the market capitalization of a company held by the Fund moves outside this range, the Fund may, but is not required to, sell the securities. The capitalization of the Russell Midcap® Value Index is currently between $1.3 billion and $19 billion.
 
The sub-advisers utilize a value-oriented investment style that emphasizes companies deemed to be currently under-priced according to certain financial measurements, which may include price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios and dividend income potential. This process involves researching and evaluating individual companies for potential investment by the Fund. This approach will often lead the Fund to focus on “strong companies” in out-of-favor sectors or out-of-favor companies exhibiting a catalyst for change. The sub-advisers may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as because it becomes overvalued or shows deteriorating fundamentals.   The investment adviser focuses on mid-cap U.S. equity investments that are believed to be undervalued or undiscovered by the market place.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-advisers believe provide opportunities for capital growth, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund also may invest, to a limited extent, in foreign securities, including depositary receipts of foreign based companies, including companies in developing countries.   Although the Fund invests primarily in publicly- traded U.S. securities, it may invest up to 25% of its Net Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies.

The Fund may invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its net assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment, foreign securities and fixed- income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.   The Fund may invest in the aggregate up to 20% of its Net Assets in companies with public stock market capitalizations outside the range of companies constituting the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of investment and in fixed-income securities such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non- convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by investment sub-advisers selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-advisers are AXA Rosenberg Investment Management LLC, TCW Investment Management Company and Wellington Management Company, LLP.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Value Fund and Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund may invest up to 25% of its Net Assets in foreign securities, while the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest up to 20% of its Net Assets in such securities.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Value Fund and the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by

assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class P Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and redeem those shares within one year of the date of purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions on those shares.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following fee reduction commitment for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Mid Cap Value Fund
    0.75%     First $2 Billion
      0.68%     Over $2 Billion
      Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.75%.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.104% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time of the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.90% for Class A Shares, 2.45% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.70% for Class P Shares and 1.45% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, a portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction, the Net Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) for the AXA Enterprise Fund was 1.89% for Class A Shares, 2.44% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.69% for Class P Shares and 1.44% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1   The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and Class P Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

2 The Russell Midcap® Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the bottom 800 companies in the Russell 1000® Index with a lower than average growth orientation. Securities in this index tend to exhibit lower price-to-book and price-earnings ratios, lower dividend yields and lower forecasted growth values. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Proposal 1(e): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The GST Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA

61


 

Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund   Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks long-term growth of capital.   Seeks long-term growth of capital and dividend income.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies are companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in large-cap U.S. issuers, including foreign issuers that are traded in the United States. However, it is currently anticipated that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its Net Assets in such equity investments. These issuers will have public stock market capitalizations (based upon shares available for trading on an unrestricted basis) similar to that of the range of the market capitalizations of companies constituting the Russell 1000® Value Index at the time of investment. If the market capitalization of a company held by the Fund moves outside this range, the Fund may, but is not required to, sell the securities. The capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Value Index is currently between $1.601 billion and $432.114 billion. The Fund is not required to limit its investments to securities in the Russell 1000® Value Index.
 
The sub-advisers focus primarily on stocks that are currently under priced using certain financial measurements, including the stock’s price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios and dividend income potential. This process involves researching and evaluating individual companies for potential investment. This approach often leads the Fund to focus on “strong companies” in out-of-favor sectors or out-of-favor companies exhibiting a catalyst for change. The sub-advisers may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as because it becomes overvalued or shows deteriorating fundamentals.   The Fund’s investments are selected using both a variety of quantitative techniques derived from fundamental research including but not limited to valuation, momentum, profitability and earnings in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return. The Fund maintains risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Fund seeks to maximize expected return while maintaining characteristics similar to its benchmark which consists of companies with above average capitalizations, low earnings growth expectations and above average dividend yields.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-advisers believe provide opportunities for capital growth, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.

62


 

     
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund   Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund
     
The Fund also may invest, to a limited extent, in foreign securities, including depositary receipts of foreign based companies, including companies in developing countries.   The Fund may invest in foreign issuers that are traded in the United States.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by investment sub-advisers selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-advisers are Alliance Capital Management L.P., Institutional Capital LLC and MFS Investment Management.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund seeks capital appreciation and dividend income as part of its objective, while the AXA Enterprise Fund only seeks capital appreciation. In addition, the GST Fund normally invests at least 80% of its Net Assets in equity investment in large-cap U.S. issuers (including foreign companies traded in the U.S.), while the AXA Enterprise Fund normally invests 65% of its assets in such securities. In addition, the AXA Enterprise Fund defines large capitalization companies as companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion at the time of investment. The investment adviser for the GST Fund targets equity investments that fall within the capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Value Index, which is currently between $1.601 billion and $432.114 billion. Another difference is that the GST Fund may invest in foreign securities to a greater extent than the AXA Enterprise Fund. In addition, the investment adviser to the GST Fund uses a quantitative investment style unlike the investment advisers for the AXA Enterprise Fund.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the

64


 

combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class P Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and redeem those shares within one year of the date of purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions on those shares.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following fee reduction commitment for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Structured Large Cap Value Fund
    0.60%     First $1 Billion
      0.54%     Next $1 Billion
      0.51%     Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.60%. Additionally, GSAM is currently voluntarily waiving a portion of its management fee equal to 0.07% based on the average daily net assets of the GST Fund.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. The expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.65% for Class A Shares, 2.20% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.45% for Class P Shares and 1.20% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, a portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction, the Net Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) for the AXA Enterprise Fund was 1.60% for Class A Shares, 2.15% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.40% for Class P Shares and 1.15% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1   The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and Class P Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Proposal 1(f): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager International Equity Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager International Equity Fund into the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA

Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its Net Assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies, including at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of foreign companies (companies organized or headquartered outside of the U.S.). Foreign securities include securities issued by companies in countries with either developed or developing economies. The Fund does not limit its investment to issuers within a specific market capitalization range.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments in companies that are organized outside the United States or whose securities are principally traded outside the United States. The Fund generally focuses its investments in large-cap companies. The Fund may allocate its assets among countries as determined by the adviser from time to time, provided the Fund’s assets are invested in at least three foreign countries. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers in countries with emerging markets or economies.
 
Each of the sub-advisers utilizes an approach that concentrates its efforts on identifying foreign companies with good prospects for future growth. Other factors, such as country and regional factors, are considered by the sub-advisers. While the sub-advisers believe that the identification, research and selection of individual stocks is of great importance to the Fund’s success, regional issues or political and economic considerations also play a role in the overall success of the Fund. The sub-advisers may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as to invest in a company offering superior investment opportunities.   The Fund seeks broad representation of large-cap issuers across major countries and sectors of the international economy. The Fund’s investments are selected using both a variety of quantitative techniques derived from fundamental research including but not limited to valuation, momentum, profitability and earnings in seeking to maximize the Fund’s expected return, while maintaining risk, style, capitalization and industry characteristics similar to the MSCI® Europe, Australasia, Far East (“EAFE®”) Index (unhedged). In addition, the Fund seeks a portfolio composed of companies with attractive valuations and stronger momentum characteristics than the EAFE® Index.
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-advisers believe provide opportunities for capital growth, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.

For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in U.S. securities, cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest up to 35% of Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non- convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by investment sub-advisers selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-advisers are AllianceBernstein L.P. (Bernstein Investment Research and Management Unit), J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. and Marsico Capital Management, LLC.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager International Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund normally is required to invest at least 80% of its Net Assets in equity investments in companies organized or traded outside the U.S., while AXA Enterprise Fund normally is required to invest at least 65% of its total assets in securities of companies located or headquartered outside of the U.S. In addition, the AXA Enterprise Fund does not target a specific market capitalization range, while the investment adviser for the GST Fund, on the other hand, generally focuses on large-cap companies. One other difference is that the investment adviser to the GST Fund uses a quantitative investment style unlike the investment advisers for the AXA Enterprise Fund.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratio as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager International Equity Fund and the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses

or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class P Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and redeem those shares within one year of the date of purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions on those shares.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. A 2% redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) of the GST Fund held for 30 calendar days or less.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following fee reduction commitment for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Structured International Equity Fund
    0.85%     First $1 Billion
      0.77%     Next $1 Billion
      0.73%     Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 0.85%. Additionally, GSAM is currently voluntarily waiving a portion of its management fee equal to 0.04% based on the average daily net assets of the GST Fund.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 2.00% for Class A Shares, 2.55% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.80% for Class P Shares and 1.55% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, a portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction, the Net Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) for the AXA Enterprise Fund was 2.03% for Class A Shares, 2.58% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.83% for Class P Shares and 1.58% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and Class P Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Proposal 1(g): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund into the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund into the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The AXA Equitable Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning

the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the technology sector. Such companies include, among others, those in the internet products and services, computer, electronic, hardware and components, communication, software, e-commerce, information service, healthcare equipment and services, including medical devices, biotechnology, chemical products and synthetic materials, defense and aerospace industries, environmental services, nanotechnology, energy equipment and services, and electronic manufacturing services.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in equity investments in “Tollkeeper” companies. In general, the adviser defines a Tollkeeper company as a high-quality technology, media or service company that adopts or uses technology to improve its cost structure, revenue opportunities or competitive advantage.
 
The sub-advisers select securities based upon fundamental analysis, such as an analysis of earnings, cash flows, competitive position and management’s abilities. The sub-advisers may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as to invest in a company with more attractive growth prospects.   The Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its assets in companies the adviser describes as Tollkeepers. The adviser believes that the characteristics of many Tollkeeper companies should enable them to consistently grow their business. The adviser seeks to identify Tollkeeper companies that exhibit many of the following characteristics: strong brand name; dominant market share; recurring revenue streams; free cash flow generation; long product life cycle; enduring competitive advantage and excellent management. To the adviser, Tollkeeper connotes a promising growth business. Like a toll collector for a highway or bridge, Tollkeeper companies may grow revenue by increasing “traffic,” or customers and sales, and raising “tolls,” or prices, and margins. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity investments of companies that the adviser believes are well positioned to benefit from the proliferation of technology. The adviser does not define companies that are capital intensive, low margin businesses as Tollkeepers (although the adviser may invest in such companies as part of the Fund’s 20% basket of securities which are not or may not be Tollkeepers).
 
The Fund does not limit its investment to issuers with a specific market capitalization range.   Same.

AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund   Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund
     
 
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-advisers believe provide opportunities for capital growth, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
 
The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in a limited number of issuers.   The Fund may invest in a relatively few number of issuers in comparison to other funds but is considered “diversified” under the 1940 Act.
 
While the Fund can invest in securities of U.S. and foreign companies, including companies based in developing countries, the majority of Fund assets are expected to be invested in securities of U.S. companies.   The Fund may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging markets or countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies.
 
For temporary defensive purposes, the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s, P-2 by Moody’s or having a comparable rating by another NRSRO; certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and non-convertible preferred stocks and non- convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
 
Investment Adviser   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by investment sub-advisers selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-advisers are Firsthand Capital Management, Inc., RCM Capital Management LLC and Wellington Management Company, LLP.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Technology Fund and Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, while the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest up to approximately half of its assets in such securities. In addition, while the GST Fund may invest in a relatively few number of issuers in comparison to other mutual funds, it is a diversified fund for the purposes of the 1940 Act. The AXA Enterprise Fund is a non-diversified fund.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund and the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such

90


 

pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on July 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class P Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and redeem those shares within one year of the date of purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions on those shares.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following fee reduction commitment for the GST Fund:
         
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Tollkeeper Fund
  1.00%   First $1 Billion
    0.90%   Next $1 Billion
    0.86%   Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 1.00%.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.064% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
8 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 2.15% for Class A Shares, 2.70% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.95% for Class P Shares and 1.70% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, a portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction, the Net Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) for the AXA Enterprise Fund was 1.86% for Class A Shares, 2.41% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.66% for Class P Shares and 1.41% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and Class P Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund   Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
 
Seeks a balance of a high current income and capital appreciation, consistent with a prudent level of risk.   Seeks a total return consisting of capital appreciation and income that exceeds the total return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in investment grade bonds. For purposes of this investment policy, a debt security is considered a “bond.” Debt securities represent an issuer’s obligation to repay a loan of money that generally pays interest to the holder. Bonds, notes and debentures are examples of debt securities. The Fund focuses on U.S. government and corporate debt securities and mortgage- and asset-backed securities.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its Net Assets in fixed-income securities, including U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, privately issued mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, high yield non-investment grade securities (securities rated BB, Ba or below by a NRSRO, or, if unrated, determined by the adviser to be of comparable quality) and fixed income securities of issuers located in countries with emerging markets or economies (“emerging countries”).
 
The Fund’s sub-advisers evaluate several sectors of the bond market and individual securities within these sectors. The sub-advisers select bonds from several sectors including: U.S. Treasuries and agency securities, commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and bonds of foreign issuers. Securities are purchased for the Fund when the sub-advisers determine that they have the potential for above-average total return.   The Fund’s advisers’ fixed income investing philosophy consists of four factors. The advisers combine diversified sources of return by employing multiple investment strategies, take a global perspective to uncover relative value opportunities, employ focused specialist teams to identify short-term mispricings and incorporate long-term views and emphasize a risk-aware approach to select investments for the Fund.
 
The Fund may purchase bonds of any maturity, but generally the Fund’s overall effective duration will be of an intermediate-term nature (similar to that of five-to seven-year U.S. Treasury notes) and have a comparable duration to that of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (4.46 years as of December 31, 2006).   The Fund has a target duration that is equal to that of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, plus or minus 1.5 years. Historically, over the last ten years, the duration of this index has ranged between 3.8 and 5 years. The Fund has a maximum duration of 6 years. The Fund’s expected approximate interest rate sensitivity is comparable to a 5-year U.S. Treasury note.

AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund   Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund
     
The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its assets in securities rated below investment grade (i.e., Ba or lower by Moody’s or BB or lower by S&P) or, if unrated, determined by the sub-adviser to be of comparable quality (“junk bonds”).   The Fund’s investments in junk bonds will not exceed 15% of its Total Assets at the time of investment. The Fund may purchase securities of issuers in default.
 
The Fund has no specific limit on its investments in foreign securities denominated in U.S. dollars and may invest up to 10% of its assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies, including issuers located in emerging markets. The Fund normally will seek to hedge most of its exposure to foreign currency to reduce the risk of loss due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.   15% of the Fund’s Total Assets may be invested in obligations of issuers in emerging countries.
 
Although it is not a principal investment strategy, the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act except the Fund may not acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or (G) of the 1940 Act.   In lieu of direct investments in particular types of fixed income securities, the Fund intends to invest up to 20% of its Total Assets in one or more fixed income funds for which the adviser or an affiliate now or in the future acts as investment adviser or principal underwriter (“Underlying Funds”). The Fund is permitted to invest in the affiliated Underlying Funds under rules adopted by the SEC. The adviser expects that the Fund, from time to time, will invest up to 10% of its Total Assets in each of the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund and the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund. When investing in an Underlying Fund, the Fund bears expenses charged by the Underlying Fund in which it invests.
 
The Fund’s sub-advisers may, when consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, use derivative securities. Derivative securities include futures and options contracts, options on futures contracts, foreign currencies, securities and bond indices, structured notes, swaps (including long and short credit default swaps) and indexed securities. The Fund will typically use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset and/or in an attempt to reduce risk to the Fund as a whole (hedge), but they may also be used to maintain liquidity, commit cash pending investment or for speculation to increase returns. The Fund may also enter into interest rate transactions as a hedging technique. In these transactions, the Fund exchanges its right to pay or receive interest with another party for their right to pay or receive interest.   The Fund may also invest in custodial receipts, municipal securities and convertible securities. The Fund may also engage in forward foreign currency transactions for both speculative and hedging purposes.

For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government Securities.
 
Investment Advisers   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by investment sub-advisers selected by AXA Equitable. The Fund’s sub-advisers are BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund and Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund’s investment objective is to seek return that exceeds the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, while the AXA Enterprise Fund seeks total return, consistent with a prudent level of risk. In addition, the GST Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in junk bonds (including securities of issuers in default), while the AXA Enterprise Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in such securities. Another difference is that the GST Fund may invest up to 15% in emerging market securities, while the AXA Enterprise Fund has no specific limit on investments in foreign securities (including those in energy markets) that are denominated in U.S. dollars. The AXA Enterprise Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the GST Fund intends to invest in one or more Underlying Funds in lieu of direct investments in particular types of fixed income securities.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in fixed-income securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (before and after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund and the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed

by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, respectively. The GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on November 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

 1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
 2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
 3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
 4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase. If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class P Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund and redeem those shares within one year of the date of purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions on those shares.
 
 5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. A 2% redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) of the GST Fund held for 30 calendar days or less.
 
 6 The Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund’s annual fund operating expenses have been estimated for the current fiscal year.
 
 7 The management agreement for the Core Plus Fixed Income Fund provides for management fees at annual rates equal to the following percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund:
         
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Core Plus Fixed Income Fund
  0.45%   First $1 Billion
    0.35%   Next $1 Billion
    0.30%   Over $2 Billion
 8 “Acquired Fund” means any investment company in which the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund invests or has invested during the period. The Acquired Fund fees and expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. The total annual Fund operating expenses will not correlate to the Core Plus Fixed Income Fund’s ratio of expenses to average net assets, which reflects the operating expenses of the Core Plus Fixed Income Fund and does not include Acquired Fund fees and expenses. The Core Plus Fixed Income Fund calculates the Acquired Funds’ expenses using the net expense ratios reported in the Acquired Funds’ most recent shareholder reports.
 
 9 “Other Expenses” include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.16% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
10 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.25% for Class A Shares, 1.80% for Class B and Class C Shares, 1.05% for Class P Shares and 0.80% for Class Y Shares. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.

      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund commenced operations on October 16, 2006. Thus no performance information is provided in this section. Information regarding the performance of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund is included in that Fund’s current Prospectus, dated March 1, 2006, as supplemented, which is incorporated herein by reference. A Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
Comparison of the Distribution Policies and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies
      The sales charges, sales charge exemptions, distribution and servicing arrangements, purchase, redemption, exchange, dividend and other policies and procedures of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund are generally similar. There are, however, some differences of which you should be aware. The following table summarizes and compares the distribution policies and the purchase, redemption and exchange policies of the Funds. For more information, see “Comparison of Shareholder Transactions and Services of the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds” in Appendix E.

Proposal 1(i): Approval of the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund into the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement.
 
      The following is a summary of more complete information appearing later in this Proxy/ Prospectus or incorporated herein relating to the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund into the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio. You should read carefully the entire Proxy/ Prospectus, including the form of Reorganization Agreement attached as Appendix A and other documents incorporated herein, because they contain details that are not in this summary.
Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The GST Fund has a policy that, to the extent required by SEC regulations, its shareholders will be provided with at least sixty days notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the particular type of investment suggested by its name. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B, “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C and “Additional Information Regarding the AXA Enterprise Asset Allocation Funds and GST Asset Allocation Funds and Description of the Underlying Funds” in Appendix D. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund   Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks long-term capital appreciation.
  Seeks long-term capital appreciation.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other mutual funds managed by AXA Equitable or Enterprise Capital Management, Inc., an affiliate of AXA Equitable (the “AXA Underlying Funds”).   The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other mutual funds managed by GSAM or an affiliate (the “GST Underlying Funds”).
The Fund invests approximately 90% of its assets in equity investments and approximately 10% of its assets in fixed income investments through investments in AXA Underlying Funds that invest primarily in either equity securities or fixed-income securities. Subject to this asset allocation target, the Fund generally invests its assets in a combination of AXA Underlying Funds that would result in the Fund being invested in the following asset categories in the approximate percentages: International Equity — 25%; Large Cap Equity — 45%; Small/Mid Cap Equity — 20%; Investment Grade — 10%; and High Yield Bonds — 0%. Actual allocations between asset classes and among asset categories can deviate from the amounts shown above by up to 15% of the Fund’s assets.   Under normal conditions, substantially all of the Fund’s Total Assets will be allocated among GST Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity securities (“GST Underlying Equity Funds”), with a greater focus on small cap and international investments relative to the other asset allocation funds advised by GSAM (“GST Asset Allocation Funds”). The target allocation is 100% for GST Underlying Equity Funds and 0% for GST Underlying Funds that invest primarily in fixed- income securities (“GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds”). The allocation range is 80% to 100% for GST Underlying Equity Funds and 0% to 20% for GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds. The Fund will invest a relatively significant percentage of its assets in the Structured Large Cap Growth, Structured Large Cap Value and Structured International Equity Funds.

AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund   Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio
     
 
The Fund is managed so that it can serve as a core part of a larger portfolio. AXA Equitable establishes the asset allocation targets for each asset class and the target investment percentages for each asset category and identifies the specific AXA Underlying Funds in which to invest using its proprietary investment process, based on fundamental research regarding the investment characteristics of the asset classes, asset categories and AXA Underlying Funds, as well as its outlook for the economy and financial markets. AXA Equitable may change the asset allocation targets and the target investment percentages.   The Fund is intended for investors who prefer to have their asset allocation decisions made by professional money managers. GSAM uses a disciplined, rigorous and quantitative approach to global tactical allocation. The Global Tactical Asset Allocation (“GTAA”) strategy attempts to add value by actively managing exposure to global stock, bond and currency markets. GSAM’s GTAA models use financial and economic factors that are designed to capture intuitive fundamental relationships across markets. The Fund may tactically deviate from the strategic allocations based on forecasts provided by the models. This process seeks to add value by overweighting attractive markets and underweighting unattractive markets.
 
Information regarding the AXA Underlying Funds in which the AXA Enterprise Fund currently may invest is included in Appendix D. These Underlying Funds have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the relevant Fund. AXA Equitable may change the particular Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests from time to time.   Information regarding the GST Underlying Funds in which the GST Fund currently may invest is included in Appendix D. These Underlying Funds have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the relevant Fund. GSAM may change the particular Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests from time to time.
 
Investment Adviser   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment adviser for the Fund.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund and Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio normally invests substantially all of its assets in equity investments, while the AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund normally invests approximately 90% of its assets in equity investments and 10% in fixed-income investments.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The investments of the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio and the AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund (each an “Asset Allocation Fund”) are concentrated in other mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”). Shareholders will be affected by the investment policies of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of the assets the Asset Allocation Funds allocate to specific Underlying Funds. To the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such investments. Similarly, to the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in fixed-income securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with those investments. In addition, the investment adviser for an Asset Allocation Fund is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating investments among Underlying Funds. An Asset Allocation Fund also will incur a proportionate share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests in addition to its own expenses.

114


 

      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund is an Asset Allocation Fund. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that Class A and Institutional shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. It is expected that Class B and C shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur higher annual operating expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. However, the net annual operating expense ratio for each class of shares of the GST Fund for the last fiscal year, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests, was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invested. GSAM has

115


 

agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual operating expenses of the GST Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of the GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the table below.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund and the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on July 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual fund operating expenses of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the following tables.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

 1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
 2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
 3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
 4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
 5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
 6 GSAM’s fee reduction commitment with GST has permanently reduced the management fee for the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio to an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. As a result, “Management Fees” and “Total Fund Operating Expenses” of the Fund have been restated to reflect the current expenses that are expected for the current fiscal year.
 
 7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
 8 The AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund and Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio invest in shares of Underlying Funds (as defined below). Therefore, each Fund will, in addition to its own expenses such as management fees, bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and the investment return of each Fund will be reduced by each Underlying Fund’s expenses.
 
 9 The range of expenses (as a percentage of net assets) expected to be incurred indirectly in connection with the AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund’s investments in Underlying Funds is 1.20% to 1.70%. Thus, the Total Fund Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) ratio of the Fund, including the Fund’s direct and indirect expenses, is currently expected to range from 1.70% to 2.20% for Class A Shares, 2.40% to 2.90% for Class B Shares, 2.40% to 2.90% for Class C Shares, and 1.40% to 1.90% for Class Y Shares, after taking into account the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement described above. The Underlying Fund Expenses and Total Fund Operating Expenses (after current expense limitations) set forth in the fee and expense tables assume the highest amount of the expected range of expenses of the Underlying Funds is incurred. Absent this arrangement, the total operating expense ratio of the shares of the Fund would range from 8.15% to 8.65% for Class A Shares, 8.85% to 9.35% for Class B Shares, 8.85% to 9.35% for Class C Shares, and 7.85% to 8.35% for Class Y Shares. This information is based on a weighted-average range of the expense ratios since the average assets of the Fund invested in the Underlying Funds will fluctuate. The total expense ratios may be higher or lower depending on the allocation of the Fund’s assets among Underlying Funds and the actual expenses of the Underlying Funds. An investor could realize lower overall expenses by investing directly in the Underlying Funds.
10 “Underlying Fund Expenses” for the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio are based upon the strategic allocation of the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds and upon the actual total operating expenses of the Underlying Funds (including any current waivers and expense limitations of the Underlying Funds). Actual Underlying Fund expenses incurred by the Fund may vary with changes in the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the Underlying Funds and with other events that directly affect the expenses of the Underlying Funds.

11 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through April 30, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.50% for Class A Shares, 1.20% for Class B and Class C Shares and 0.20% for Class Y Shares. The Total Fund Operating Expenses set forth in the previous sentence with respect to AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund do not include the proportionate share of Underlying Fund expenses that this Fund indirectly bears. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after April 30, 2008.
     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1  The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).

      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

1 The after-tax returns are for Class A Shares only. The after-tax returns for Class B, Class C, Class Y, and Institutional Class Shares will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

Comparison of the Distribution Policies and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies
      The sales charges, sales charge exemptions, distribution and servicing arrangements, purchase, redemption, exchange, dividend and other policies and procedures of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund are generally similar. There are, however, some differences of which you should be aware.

Capitalization
      The following table shows the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund as of June 30, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on June 30, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B, “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C and “Additional Information Regarding the AXA Enterprise Asset Allocation Funds and GST Asset Allocation Funds and Description of the Underlying Funds” in Appendix D. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund   Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks a high level of current income.   Current income and long-term capital appreciation.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other mutual funds managed by AXA Equitable or Enterprise Capital Management, Inc., an affiliate of AXA Equitable.   The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other mutual funds managed by GSAM or an affiliate.
 
The Fund invests approximately 80% of its assets in fixed income investments and approximately 20% of its assets in equity investments through investments in AXA Underlying Funds. Subject to this asset allocation target, the Fund generally invests its assets in a combination of AXA Underlying Funds that would result in the Fund being invested in the following asset categories in the following approximate percentages: 5% in International Equity Securities, 10% in Large Cap Equity Securities, 5% in Small/Mid Cap Equity Securities, 75% in Investment Grade Bonds and 5% in High Yield Bonds. The target allocation to investment grade and high yield fixed income asset classes may include securities of both U.S. and foreign issuers. Actual allocations between asset classes and among asset categories can deviate from the amounts shown above by up to 15% of the Fund’s assets.   Under normal conditions, approximately 60% of the Fund’s Total Assets will be allocated among GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds and 40% of the Fund’s Total Assets will be allocated among GST Underlying Equity Funds. Allocation to GST Underlying Equity Funds is intended to add diversification and enhance returns, but will also add some volatility. GSAM expects that the Fund will invest a relatively significant percentage of its equity allocation in the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value, and Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Funds and may invest a relatively significant percentage of its assets in the Goldman Sachs Global Income and Goldman Sachs High Yield Funds. It is expected that the Fund will invest more than 25% of its assets in the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund. The target allocation is 40% for GST Underlying Equity Fund and 60% for GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds. The allocation range is 20-60% for GST Underlying Equity Funds and 40%-80% for GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds.

AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund   Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio
     
The Fund is managed so that it can serve as a core part of a larger portfolio. AXA Equitable establishes the asset allocation targets for each asset class and the target investment percentages for each asset category and identifies the specific AXA Underlying Funds in which to invest using its proprietary investment process, based on fundamental research regarding the investment characteristics of the asset classes, asset categories and AXA Underlying Funds, as well as its outlook for the economy and financial markets. AXA Equitable may change the asset allocation targets and the target investment percentages.   The Fund is intended for investors who prefer to have their asset allocation decisions made by professional money managers. GSAM uses a disciplined, rigorous and quantitative approach to global tactical allocation. The Global Tactical Asset Allocation (“GTAA”) strategy attempts to add value by actively managing exposure to global stock, bond and currency markets. GSAM’s GTAA models use financial and economic factors that are designed to capture intuitive fundamental relationships across markets. The Fund may tactically deviate from the strategic allocations based on forecasts provided by the models. This process seeks to add value by overweighting attractive markets and underweighting unattractive markets.
 
Information regarding the AXA Underlying Funds in which the AXA Enterprise Fund currently may invest is included in Appendix D. These Underlying Funds have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the relevant Fund. AXA Equitable may change the particular Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests from time to time.   Information regarding the GST Underlying Funds in which the GST Fund currently may invest is included in Appendix D. These Underlying Funds have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the relevant Fund. GSAM may change the particular Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests from time to time.
 
Investment Adviser   Investment Adviser
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment adviser for the Fund.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund and Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund normally invests approximately 60% of its assets in fixed-income investments and approximately 40% in equity investments, while the AXA Enterprise Fund invests 80% in fixed-income investments and 20% in equity investments.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The investments of the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio and the AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund (each an “Asset Allocation Fund”) are concentrated in other mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”). Shareholders will be affected by the investment policies of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of the assets the Asset Allocation Funds allocate to specific Underlying Funds. To the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such investments. Similarly, to the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in fixed-income securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with those investments. In addition, the investment adviser for an Asset Allocation Fund is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating investments among Underlying Funds. An Asset Allocation Fund also will incur a proportionate share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests in addition to its own expenses.

      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund is an Asset Allocation Fund. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that Class A and Institutional shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expenses (excluding fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the

128


 

GST Fund after the Reorganization. It is expected that Class B and C shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur higher annual operating expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. However, the net annual operating expense ratio for each class of shares of the GST Fund for the last fiscal year, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests, was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invested. GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual operating expenses of the GST Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of the GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the table below.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund and the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on July 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual fund operating expenses of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the following tables.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

 1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
 2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
 3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
 4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
 5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
 6 GSAM’s fee reduction commitment with GST has permanently reduced the management fee for the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio to an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. As a result, “Management Fees” and “Total Fund Operating Expenses” of the Fund have been restated to reflect the current expenses that are expected for the current fiscal year.
 
 7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
 8 The AXA Enterprise Conservative Fund and Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio invest in shares of Underlying Funds (as defined below). Therefore, each Fund will, in addition to its own expenses such as management fees, bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and the investment return of each Fund will be reduced by each Underlying Fund’s expenses.
 
 9 The range of expenses (as a percentage of average net assets) expected to be incurred indirectly in connection with each fund’s investments in Underlying Funds is 0.75% to 1.25%; Thus, the net operating expense ratio of the shares of each fund, including the fund’s direct and indirect expenses, is currently expected to range from 1.25% to 1.75% for Class A Shares, 1.95% to 2.45% for Class B Shares, 1.95% to 2.45% for Class C Shares, and 0.95% to 1.45% for Class Y Shares, after taking into account the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement described above. Absent this arrangement, the total operating expense ratio of the shares of each fund would range from 13.04% to 13.54% for Class A Shares, 13.74 to 14.24% for Class B Shares, 13.74% to 14.24% for Class C Shares, and 12.74% to 13.24% for Class Y Shares. This information is based on a weighted-average range of the expense ratios since the average assets of each fund invested in Underlying Funds will fluctuate. The total expense ratios may be higher or lower depending on the allocation of a fund’s assets among Underlying Funds and the actual expenses of the Underlying Funds. An investor could realize lower overall expenses by investing directly in the Underlying Funds.
10 “Underlying Fund Expenses” for the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio are based upon the strategic allocation of the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds and upon the actual total operating expenses of the Underlying Funds (including any current waivers and expense limitations of the Underlying Funds). Actual Underlying Fund expenses incurred by the Fund may vary with changes in the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the Underlying Funds and with other events that directly affect the expenses of the Underlying Funds.
 
11 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through April 30, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating

131


 

Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.50% for Class A Shares, 1.20% for Class B and Class C Shares and 0.20% for Class Y Shares. The Total Fund Operating Expenses set forth in the previous sentence with respect to AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund do not include the proportionate share of Underlying Fund expenses that this Fund indirectly bears. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after April 30, 2008.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).

      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B, “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C and “Additional Information Regarding the AXA Enterprise Asset Allocation Funds and GST Asset Allocation Funds and Description of the Underlying Funds” in Appendix D. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund   Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks long-term capital appreciation.   Seeks long-term capital appreciation and current income.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
 
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other mutual funds managed by AXA Equitable or Enterprise Capital Management, Inc., an affiliate of AXA Equitable.   The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other mutual funds managed by GSAM or an affiliate.
The Fund invests approximately 50% of its assets in equity investments and approximately 50% of its assets in fixed-income investments through investments in AXA Underlying Funds. Subject to this asset allocation target, the Fund generally invests its assets in a combination of AXA Underlying Funds that would result in the Fund being invested in the following asset categories in the approximate percentages: International Equity — 15%; Large Cap Equity — 25%; Small/Mid Cap Equity — 10%; Investment Grade — 45%; and High Yield Bonds — 5%. Actual allocations between asset classes and among asset categories can deviate from the amounts shown above by up to 15% of the Fund’s assets.   Under normal conditions, approximately 60% of the Fund’s Total Assets will be allocated among GST Underlying Equity Funds, which are intended to provide the capital appreciation component, and approximately 40% of the Fund’s Total Assets will be allocated among GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds. Allocation to GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds is intended to provide the income component. GSAM expects that the Fund will invest a relatively significant percentage of its equity allocation in the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value and Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Funds and will invest a relatively significant percentage of its assets in the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income and Goldman Sachs Global Income Funds. The target allocation is 60% for GST Underlying Equity Funds and 40% for GST Underlying Fixed Income Funds. The allocation range is 40%-80% for GST Underlying Equity Funds and 20%-60% for GST Underlying Fixed Income Funds.

AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund   Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio
     
The Fund is managed so that it can serve as a core part of a larger portfolio. AXA Equitable establishes the asset allocation targets for each asset class and the target investment percentages for each asset category and identifies the specific AXA Underlying Funds in which to invest using its proprietary investment process, based on fundamental research regarding the investment characteristics of the asset classes, asset categories and AXA Underlying Funds, as well as its outlook for the economy and financial markets. AXA Equitable may change the asset allocation targets and the target investment percentages.   The Fund is intended for investors who prefer to have their asset allocation decisions made by professional money managers. GSAM uses a disciplined, rigorous and quantitative approach to global tactical allocation. The Global Tactical Asset Allocation (“GTAA”) strategy attempts to add value by actively managing exposure to global stock, bond and currency markets. GSAM’s GTAA models use financial and economic factors that are designed to capture intuitive fundamental relationships across markets. The Fund may tactically deviate from the strategic allocations based on forecasts provided by the models. This process seeks to add value by overweighting attractive markets and underweighting unattractive markets.
Information regarding the AXA Underlying Funds in which the AXA Enterprise Fund currently may invest is included in Appendix D. These Underlying Funds have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the relevant Fund. AXA Equitable may change the particular Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests from time to time.   Information regarding the GST Underlying Funds in which the GST Fund currently may invest is included in Appendix D. These Underlying Funds have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the relevant Fund. GSAM may change the particular Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests from time to time.
 
Investment Adviser
  Investment Adviser
 
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment adviser for the Fund.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund and Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund normally invests approximately 60% of the Fund’s Total Assets in equity investments and 40% of its Total Assets in fixed-income investments, while the AXA Enterprise Fund normally invests approximately 50% of its total assets in equity investments and 50% of its total assets in fixed-income investments.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The investments of the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and the AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund (each an “Asset Allocation Fund”) are concentrated in other mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”). Shareholders will be affected by the investment policies of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of the assets the Asset Allocation Funds allocate to specific Underlying Funds. To the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such investments. Similarly, to the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in fixed-income securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with those investments. In addition, the investment adviser for an Asset Allocation Fund is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating investments among Underlying Funds. An Asset Allocation Fund also will incur a proportionate share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests in addition to its own expenses.
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund is an Asset Allocation Fund. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that Class A and Institutional shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. It is expected that Class B and C shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur higher annual operating expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. However, the net annual operating expense ratio for each class of shares of the GST Fund for the last fiscal year, including the

141


 

expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests, was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invested. GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual operating expenses of the GST Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of the GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the table below.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund and the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on July 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual fund operating expenses of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the following tables.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

 1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
 2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
 3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
 4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
 5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
 6 GSAM’s fee reduction commitment with GST has permanently reduced the management fee for the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio to an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. As a result, “Management Fees” and “Total Fund Operating Expenses” of the Fund have been restated to reflect the current expenses that are expected for the current fiscal year.
 
 7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
 8 The AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund and Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio invest in shares of Underlying Funds (as defined below). Therefore, each Fund will, in addition to its own expenses such as management fees, bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and the investment return of each Fund will be reduced by each Underlying Fund’s expenses.
 
 9 The range of expenses (as a percentage of average net assets) expected to be incurred indirectly in connection with each fund’s investments in Underlying Funds is 0.90% to 1.40%; Thus, the net operating expense ratio of the shares of each fund, including the fund’s direct and indirect expenses, is currently expected to range from: 1.40% to 1.90% for Class A Shares, 2.10% to 2.60% for Class B Shares, 2.10% to 2.60% for Class C Shares, and 1.10% to 1.60% for Class Y Shares,; after taking into account the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement described above. Absent this arrangement, the total operating expense ratio of the shares of each fund would range from 5.06% to 5.56% for Class A Shares, 5.76% to 6.26% for Class B Shares, 5.76% to 6.26% for Class C Shares and 4.76% to 5.26% for Class Y Shares; This information is based on a weighted-average range of the expense ratios since the average assets of each fund invested in Underlying Funds will fluctuate. The total expense ratios may be higher or lower depending on the allocation of a fund’s assets among Underlying Funds and the actual expenses of the Underlying Funds. An investor could realize lower overall expenses by investing directly in the Underlying Funds.
 10 “Underlying Fund Expenses” for the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio are based upon the strategic allocation of the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds and upon the actual total operating expenses of the Underlying Funds (including any current waivers and expense limitations of the Underlying Funds). Actual Underlying Fund expenses incurred by the Fund may vary with changes in the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the Underlying Funds and with other events that directly affect the expenses of the Underlying Funds.
 
 11 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through April 30, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.50% for

144


 

Class A Shares, 1.20% for Class B and Class C Shares and 0.20% for Class Y Shares. The Total Fund Operating Expenses set forth in the previous sentence with respect to AXA Enterprise Growth and Income Allocation Fund do not include the proportionate share of Underlying Fund expenses that this Fund indirectly bears. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after April 30, 2008.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

      The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix B, “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise and GST Funds” in Appendix C and “Additional Information Regarding the AXA Enterprise Asset Allocation Funds and GST Asset Allocation Funds and Description of the Underlying Funds” in Appendix D. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.
     
AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund   Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
 
Seeks long-term capital appreciation and current income, with a greater emphasis on capital appreciation.   Seeks long-term capital appreciation and secondarily current income.
 
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
 
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other mutual funds managed by AXA Equitable or Enterprise Capital Management, Inc., an affiliate of AXA Equitable.   The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other mutual funds managed by GSAM or an affiliate.
 
The Fund invests approximately 70% of its assets in AXA Underlying Funds that emphasize equity investments and approximately 30% of its assets in AXA Underlying Funds that emphasize fixed income investments. Subject to this asset allocation target, the Fund generally invests its assets in a combination of AXA Underlying Funds that would result in the Fund being invested in the following asset categories in the approximate percentages: International Equity — 20%; Large Cap Equity — 35%; Small/Mid Cap Equity — 15%; and Investment Grade — 30%. Actual allocations between asset classes and among asset categories can deviate from the amounts shown above by up to 15% of the Fund’s assets.   Under normal conditions, substantially all of the Fund’s Total Assets will be allocated among GST Underlying Equity Funds, with a greater focus on domestic large cap, small cap and international investments relative to the other GST Asset Allocation Funds. The target allocation is 80% for GST Underlying Equity Funds and is 20% for GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds. The allocation range is 60% to 100% for GST Underlying Equity Funds is 0% to 40% for GST Underlying Fixed-Income Funds. GSAM expects that the Fund will invest a relatively significant percentage of its assets in the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund, and Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund.

152


 

     
AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund   Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio
     
The Fund is managed so that it can serve as a core part of a larger portfolio. AXA Equitable establishes the asset allocation targets for each asset class and the target investment percentages for each asset category and identifies the specific AXA Underlying Funds in which to invest using its proprietary investment process, based on fundamental research regarding the investment characteristics of the asset classes, asset categories and AXA Underlying Funds, as well as its outlook for the economy and financial markets. AXA Equitable may change the asset allocation targets and the target investment percentages.   The Fund is intended for investors who prefer to have their asset allocation decisions made by professional money managers. GSAM uses a disciplined, rigorous and quantitative approach to global tactical allocation. The Global Tactical Asset Allocation (“GTAA”) strategy attempts to add value by actively managing exposure to global stock, bond and currency markets. GSAM’s GTAA models use financial and economic factors that are designed to capture intuitive fundamental relationships across markets. The Fund may tactically deviate from the strategic allocations based on forecasts provided by the models. This process seeks to add value by overweighting attractive markets and underweighting unattractive markets.
 
Information regarding the AXA Underlying Funds in which the AXA Enterprise Fund currently may invest is included in Appendix D. These Underlying Funds have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the relevant Fund. AXA Equitable may change the particular Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests from time to time.   Information regarding the GST Underlying Funds in which the GST Fund currently may invest is included in Appendix D. These Underlying Funds have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the relevant Fund. GSAM may change the particular Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests from time to time.
 
Investment Adviser   Investment Adviser
 
AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, serves as the investment adviser for the Fund.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund and Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Portfolio normally invests 80% of its assets in equity investments and 20% in fixed income investments, while the AXA Enterprise Fund normally invests approximately 70% of its total assets in equity investments and approximately 30% of its total assets in fixed-income investments.
Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The investments of the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio and the AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund (each an “Asset Allocation Fund”) are concentrated in other mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”). Shareholders will be affected by the investment policies of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of the assets the Asset Allocation Funds allocate to specific Underlying Funds. To the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such investments. Similarly, to the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in fixed-income securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with those investments. In addition, the investment adviser for an Asset Allocation Fund is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating investments among Underlying Funds. An Asset Allocation Fund also will incur a proportionate share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests in addition to its own expenses.
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund is an Asset Allocation Fund. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The

153


 

principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to All of the Reorganizations — Risks of Investing in the GST Funds and the AXA Enterprise Funds” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the Corresponding GST Fund. It is expected that Class A and Institutional shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. It is expected that Class B and C shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur higher annual operating expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds) as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. However, the net

154


 

annual operating expense ratio for each class of shares of the GST Fund for the last fiscal year, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests, was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invested. GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual operating expenses of the GST Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of the GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the table below.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund and the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on July 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      GSAM has agreed in the Reorganization Agreement that it will cap the net annual fund operating expenses of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of shares of the GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of shares of the GST Fund as set forth in the following tables.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma” figure).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

 1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
 2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
 3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
 4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
 5 If you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the respective Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
 6 GSAM’s fee reduction commitment with GST has permanently reduced the management fee for the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio to an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. As a result, “Management Fees” and “Total Fund Operating Expenses” of the Fund have been restated to reflect the current expenses that are expected for the current fiscal year.
 
 7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any offset arrangements) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets. These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of the GST Fund’s investment adviser.
 
 8 The AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund and Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio invest in shares of Underlying Funds (as defined below). Therefore, each Fund will, in addition to its own expenses such as management fees, bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and the investment return of each Fund will be reduced by each Underlying Fund’s expenses.
 
 9 The range of expenses (as a percentage of average net assets) expected to be incurred indirectly in connection with each fund’s investments in Underlying Funds is: 1.10% to 1.60% Thus, the net operating expense ratio of the shares of each fund, including the fund’s direct and indirect expenses, is currently expected to range from: 1.60% to 2.10% for Class A Shares, 2.30% to 2.80% for Class B Shares, 2.30% to 2.80% for Class C Shares, and 1.30% to 1.80% for Class Y Shares; and, after taking into account the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangement described above. Absent this arrangement, the total operating expense ratio of the shares of each fund would range from: 2.72% to 3.22% for Class A Shares, 3.42% to 3.92% for Class B Shares, 3.42% to 3.92% for Class C Shares, and 2.42% to 2.92% for Class Y Shares. This information is based on a weighted-average range of the expense ratios since the average assets of each fund invested in Underlying Funds will fluctuate. The total expense ratios may be higher or lower depending on the allocation of a fund’s assets among Underlying Funds and the actual expenses of the Underlying Funds. An investor could realize lower overall expenses by investing directly in the Underlying Funds.
 10 “Underlying Fund Expenses” for the Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio are based upon the strategic allocation of the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds and upon the actual total operating expenses of the Underlying Funds (including any current waivers and expense limitations of the Underlying Funds). Actual Underlying Fund expenses incurred by the Fund may vary with changes in the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the Underlying Funds and with other events that directly affect the expenses of the Underlying Funds.
 
 11 Pursuant to a contract, AXA Equitable has agreed to make payments or waive its management, administrative or other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through April 30, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Multimanager

157


 

Trust Trustees consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the Total Fund Operating Expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.50% for Class A Shares, 1.20% for Class B and Class C Shares and 0.20% for Class Y Shares. The Total Fund Operating Expenses set forth in the previous sentence with respect to AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund do not include the proportionate share of Underlying Fund expenses that this Fund indirectly bears. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after April 30, 2008.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) its Corresponding GST Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the Combined Fund Pro forma) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund, a GST Fund or a Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
      The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Funds or GST Funds. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Funds’ prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Funds’ Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

Comparison of the Distribution Policies and Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Policies
      The sales charges, sales charge exemptions, distribution and servicing arrangements, purchase, redemption, exchange, dividend and other policies and procedures of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the Corresponding GST Fund are generally similar. There are, however, some differences of which you should be aware. The following table summarizes and compares the distribution policies and the purchase, redemption and exchange policies of

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO ALL OF THE REORGANIZATIONS
Risks of Investing in the AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds
      All of the principal risks applicable to the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds are summarized in the tables appearing in the description of each proposal above and are described in more detail below. More information about certain types of portfolio securities and investment techniques, and their associated risks for the GST Funds, is provided in Appendix A to the prospectuses of the GST Funds. You should consider the investment risks discussed in this section and the prospectuses of the GST Funds, which are important to your investment choice.
      The Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund, and Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund (collectively, the “GST Equity Funds”) and AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Value Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager International Equity Fund, and AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund (collectively, the “AXA Enterprise Equity Funds” and, along with the GST Equity Funds, the “Equity Funds”) will be subject to the risks associated with equity investments. “Equity investments” may include common stocks, preferred stocks, interests in real estate investment trusts, convertible debt obligations, convertible preferred stocks, equity interests in trusts, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and similar enterprises, warrants, stock purchase rights and synthetic and derivative instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities. In general, the values of equity investments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and in response to general market and economic conditions. Accordingly, the values of the equity investments that the Equity Funds hold may rise or decline over short or extended periods. The stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when prices generally decline. This volatility means that the value of an investment in an Equity Fund may increase or decrease. Recently, certain stock markets have experienced substantial price volatility.
      The Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund and AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond (together, the “Fixed Income Funds”) will be subject to the risks associated with fixed-income securities. To the extent it invests in fixed-income securities, an Equity Fund will also be subject to the risks associated with fixed-income securities. These risks include interest rate risk, credit risk and call/extension risk. In general, interest rate risk involves the risk that when interest rates decline, the market value of fixed-income securities tends to increase. Conversely, when interest rates increase, the market value of fixed-income securities tends to decline. Credit risk involves the risk that an issuer or guarantor could default on its obligations, and an AXA Enterprise Fund or its Corresponding GST Fund will not recover its investment. Call risk and extension risk are normally present when the borrower has the option to prepay its obligations.
      The investments of the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio, and Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio (collectively, the “GST Asset Allocation Funds”) and the AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund, AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund, AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund, and AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund (collectively, the “AXA Enterprise Asset Allocation Funds” and, together with the GST Asset Allocation Funds, the “Asset Allocation Funds” are concentrated in other mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”). Shareholders will be affected by the investment policies of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of the assets the Asset Allocation Funds allocate to specific Underlying Funds. To the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such investments. Similarly, to the extent an Asset Allocation Fund invests in fixed-income securities, the Asset Allocation Fund will be subject to the risks associated with those investments. In addition, the investment adviser for an Asset Allocation Fund is subject to conflicts of

165


 

interest in allocating investments among Underlying Funds. An Asset Allocation Fund also will incur a proportionate share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests in addition to its own expenses.

Net Asset Value Risk — The risk that the net asset value of the Fund and the value of your investment will fluctuate.
  All GST Funds
All AXA Enterprise Funds
 
Interest Rate Risk — The risk that when interest rates increase, securities held by a Fund will decline in value. Long-term fixed-income securities will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed-income securities.
  All GST Funds (except Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund)
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund

Credit/ Default Risk — The risk that an issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security held by a Fund, or a bank or other financial institution that has entered into a repurchase agreement, or the counterparty in a derivative transaction may default on its payment obligations including the obligation to pay interest and repay principal. For certain Funds, this risk may include the risk of default on foreign letters of credit, guarantees or insurance that back municipal securities.

Call Risk — The risk that an issuer will exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation held by a Fund (such as a mortgage-backed security) earlier than expected. This may happen when there is a decline in interest rates. Under these circumstances, a Fund may be unable to recoup all of its initial investment and will also suffer from having to reinvest in lower yielding securities.

Extension Risk — The risk that an issuer will exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation held by a Fund (such as a mortgage-backed security) later than expected. This may happen when there is a rise in interest rates. Under these circumstances, the value of the obligation will decrease, and a Fund will also suffer from the inability to invest in higher yielding securities.

U.S. Government Securities Risk — The risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. Although many U.S. Government Securities purchased by the Funds, such as those issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Banks, may be chartered or sponsored by Acts of Congress, their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the United States Treasury and, therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. Government Securities held by a Fund may greatly exceed their current resources, including their legal right to support from the U.S. Treasury. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

Stock Risk — The risk that stock prices have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. Stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline in value over short or extended periods. In recent years, U.S. and foreign stock markets have experienced substantial price volatility. The value of such securities will change based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market and economic conditions.

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Derivatives Risk — The risk that loss may result from a Fund’s investments in options, futures, swaps, structured securities and other derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to a Fund. Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. A Fund’s investment in derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. These transactions are subject to changes in the value of the underlying security on which such transactions are based. Even a small investment in derivative securities can have a significant impact on a Fund’s exposure to stock market values, interest rates or currency exchange rates. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and portfolio management risk depending on the type of underlying asset, reference rate or index. They also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate well with the underlying asset, rate or index. These types of transactions will be used primarily as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset and/or for hedging purposes. When a derivative security is used as a hedge against an offsetting position that a Fund also holds, any loss generated by the derivative security should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged instrument, and vice versa. To the extent that a Fund uses a derivative security for purposes other than as a hedge, that Fund is directly exposed to the risks of that derivative security and any loss generated by the derivative security will not be offset by a gain.

Management Risk — The risk that a strategy used by a Fund’s investment adviser or sub-adviser may fail to produce the intended results.
  All GST Funds
All AXA Enterprise Funds
 
Market Risk — The risk that the value of the securities in which a Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods. A Fund’s investments may be overweighted from time to time in one or more industry sectors, which will increase the Fund’s exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those sectors.

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Liquidity Risk — The risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the time period stated in its prospectus because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Funds that invest in small and mid-capitalization stocks and real estate investment trusts will be especially subject to the risk that during certain periods the liquidity of particular issuers or industries, or all securities within particular investment categories, will shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic, market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions whether or not accurate.

Industry Concentration Risk — The risk that a Fund concentrates its investments in specific industry sectors that have historically experienced substantial price volatility. A Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. Securities of issuers held by a Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable a Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price.
  Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund
 
Investment Style Risk — Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market and economic conditions as well as investor sentiment. A Fund may outperform or underperform other funds that employ a different investment style. Examples of different investment styles include growth and value investing. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investor perceptions of the issuing company’s growth of earnings potential. Growth companies are often expected by investors to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, investors can punish the stock inordinately even if earnings showed an absolute increase. Also, since growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, growth stocks may lack the dividends of some value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. Growth oriented funds will typically underperform when value investing is in favor. Value stocks are those that are undervalued in comparison to their peers due to adverse business developments or other factors.

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Risk — The securities of small capitalization and mid-capitalization companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements. Securities of such issuers may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable a Fund to effect sales at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. Both mid-cap and small-cap companies often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of a Fund’s portfolio. Generally, the smaller the company, the greater these risks.

Foreign Risk — The risk that when a Fund invests in foreign securities, it will be subject to risk of loss not typically associated with domestic issuers. Loss may result because of less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions. A Fund will also be subject to the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations. Foreign risks will normally be greatest when a Fund invests in issuers located in emerging countries.
  All GST Funds
All AXA Enterprise Funds
 
Emerging Countries Risk — The securities markets of Asian, Latin and South American, Eastern European, African and other emerging countries are less liquid, are especially subject to greater price volatility, have smaller market capitalizations, have less government regulation and are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements as the securities markets of more developed countries. Further, investment in equity securities of issuers located in certain emerging countries involves risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody and substantial economic and political disruptions. These risks are not normally associated with investments in more developed countries.

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Sovereign Risk — The risk that the issuer of the sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay the principal or interest when due. This risk includes political, economic and repayment risks. Political risk is the risk associated with the general political and social environment of a country and includes among other factors, government instability, poor socioeconomic conditions, corruption, lack of law and order, lack of democratic accountability, poor quality of the bureaucracy, internal and external conflict, and religious and ethnic tensions. High political risk can impede the economic welfare of a country. Economic risk is the risk associated with general economic conditions and includes, among other things, low quality and growth rate of gross domestic product (“GDP”), high inflation or deflation, high government deficits as a percentage of GDP, weak financial sector, overvalued exchange rate, and high current accounts deficits as a percentage of GDP. Repayment risk is the risk associated with the inability of a country to pay its external debt obligations in the immediate future and includes, among other items, high foreign debt as a percentage of GDP, high foreign debt service as a percentage of exports, and an unsustainable exchange rate structure.

Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) Risk — The risk that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. When a Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance.
  Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund
All GST Asset Allocation Funds
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund
 
“Junk Bond” Risk — Some Funds will invest in non-investment grade fixed-income securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) that are considered predominantly speculative by traditional standards. Non-investment grade fixed-income securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. These securities may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate or municipal developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of the junk bond markets generally and less secondary market liquidity.

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Non-Hedging Foreign Currency Trading Risk — Certain Funds may engage, to a greater extent than other Funds, in forward foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes. A Fund’s investment adviser may purchase or sell foreign currencies through the use of forward contracts based on the investment adviser’s judgment regarding the direction of the market for a particular foreign currency or currencies. In pursuing this strategy, an investment adviser seeks to profit from anticipated movements in currency rates by establishing “long” and/or “short” positions in forward contracts on various foreign currencies. Foreign exchange rates can be extremely volatile and a variance in the degree of volatility of the market or in the direction of the market from the investment adviser’s expectations may produce significant losses to a Fund.
  Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund
All GST Asset Allocation Funds (except Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio)
 
Geographic Risk — Concentration of investments of a Fund in issuers located in a particular country or region will subject the Fund, to a greater extent than if investments were less concentrated, to the risks of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events that may occur in that country or region.

Currency Risk — The risk that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. A change in the value of any such currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of a Fund’s assets and income.

Investment Grade Securities Risk — Debt securities are rated by national bond rating agencies. Securities rated BBB and higher by Standard & Poor’s and Baa or higher by Moody’s are considered investment grade securities, but securities rated BBB or Baa are somewhat riskier than higher rated obligations because they are regarded as having only an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest, and are considered to lack outstanding investment characteristics.

Internet Risk — The risk that the stock prices of Internet and Internet-related companies and therefore the value of a Fund will experience significant price movements as a result of intense market volatility, worldwide competition, consumer preferences, product compatibility, product obsolescence, government regulation, excessive investor optimism or pessimism, or other factors. To the extent a Fund may also invest in a relatively few number of issuers, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.
  Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund
 
Technology Sector Risk — The value of a Fund’s shares is particularly vulnerable to factors affecting the technology sector, such as dependency on consumer and business acceptance as new technology evolves, large and rapid price movements resulting from competition, rapid obsolescence of products and services and short product cycles. Many technology companies are small and at an earlier stage of development and, therefore, may be subject to risks such as those arising out of limited product lines, markets and financial and managerial resources.
  Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund
 
Investing in Underlying Funds — The investments of certain Funds are concentrated in Underlying Funds, and each such Fund’s investment performance is directly and proportionately related to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds held by it. The ability of a Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the Underlying Funds to meet their objectives as well as the allocation among those Underlying Funds by the Fund’s investment adviser. The value of the Underlying Funds’ investments, and the net asset values (“NAV”) of the shares the Fund and the Underlying Funds, will fluctuate in response to various market and economic factors related to the equity and fixed-income markets, as well as the financial condition and prospects of issuers in which the Underlying Funds invest. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of a Fund or any Underlying Fund will be achieved.

Principal Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Investments of Underlying Funds — Because certain Funds invest in the Underlying Funds, these Funds’ shareholders will be affected by the investment policies of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the amount of assets the Funds allocate to those Underlying Funds. Certain Funds may invest in Underlying Funds that in turn invest in small capitalization companies and foreign issuers and thus are subject to additional risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and political risk. Foreign investments may include securities of issuers located in emerging countries in Asia, Latin, Central and South America, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Certain Funds may also invest in Underlying Funds that in turn invest in non-investment grade fixed-income securities (“junk bonds”), which are considered speculative by traditional standards. In addition, Underlying Funds may purchase derivative securities; enter into forward currency transactions; lend their portfolio securities; enter into futures contracts and options transactions; purchase zero coupon bonds and payment-in-kind bonds; purchase securities issue by real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and other issuers in the real estate industry; purchase restricted and illiquid securities; purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis; enter into repurchase agreements; borrow money; and engage in various other investment practices.

Affiliated Persons — In managing certain Funds, an investment adviser will have the authority to select and substitute Underlying Funds. An Investment Adviser is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating Fund assets among the various Underlying Funds both because the fees payable to it and/or its affiliates by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Funds and because the investment adviser and its affiliates are also responsible for managing the Underlying Funds. The Trustees and officers of the a Fund may also have conflicting interests in fulfilling their fiduciary duties to both the Fund and the Underlying Funds.

Expenses — Investors invest in Underlying Funds directly. By investing in Underlying Funds indirectly through another Fund, an investor will incur not only a proportionate share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds held by the Fund (including operating costs and investment management fees), but also expenses of the Fund.
  All GST Asset Allocation Funds
All AXA Enterprise Asset Allocation Funds
 
Non-Diversification Risk — As a non-diversified mutual fund, more of a Fund’s assets may be focused in the common stocks of a small number of issuers, which may make the value of the Fund’s shares more sensitive to changes in the market value of a single issuer or industry than shares of a diversified mutual fund.

Reasons for the Reorganizations and Board Considerations
      The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, including the Independent Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, have determined that each Reorganization is in the best interest of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund involved therein, and that the interests of the current shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, including the Independent Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, also have considered and unanimously approved the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement. The following sets forth in greater detail the steps taken by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees in arriving at these conclusions.
      Background. At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial and AXA Equitable (“AXA”) informed the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees that AXA had entered into an agreement with GSAM under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business and AXA would use its reasonable best efforts to effect the Reorganizations. AXA also informed the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees that, in consideration for these assets, the opportunity to manage additional assets after the proposed Reorganizations and covenants from AXA, including its assistance in facilitating the Reorganizations, GSAM agreed to pay AXA an amount based on the assets of each AXA Enterprise Fund at the time of its Reorganization. AXA then noted that the Reorganizations were subject to the approval of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees and the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds, satisfactory completion of due diligence and execution of the Reorganization Agreement. AXA stated that it proposed to present the Reorganizations to the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees for their consideration and approval at meetings later in 2006 and noted that the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees would receive additional information regarding the Reorganizations in advance of such meetings.
      Board Considerations. In addition to the October 23 meeting, the Board also met on December 7 and December 28, 2006 to consider the proposed Reorganizations. The Independent Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, together with their independent legal counsel, also met on November 13, 2006, and in executive session at the October 23 and December 7 meetings, to consider the Reorganizations. In connection with these meetings, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees requested, and AXA and GSAM provided in advance of the meetings, detailed information about the proposed Reorganizations, including information regarding: (1) the reputation, financial strength and capabilities of GSAM and its affiliates; (2) GSAM’s experience with and capabilities managing mutual funds; (3) the investment objectives and policies of the GST Funds and their relative compatibility with those of the AXA Enterprise Funds; (4) the historical investment performance records of the GST Funds (or with respect to the recently organized Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, the historical investment performance records of similar accounts) and the AXA Enterprise Funds, relative to each other; (5) the investment advisory and total expenses payable and paid by the GST Funds (including pro forma expense information), as compared with those of the AXA Enterprise Funds; (6) the qualifications and experience of the GSAM investment personnel managing the GST Funds; (7) Goldman Sachs’ distribution capabilities, the distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements (including Rule 12b-1 fees) and the sales charge structures of the GST Fund share classes, as compared with those of the AXA Enterprise Funds; (8) the reputation and capabilities of certain service providers for the GST Funds; (9) the current size of the GST Funds and the prospects for their future growth, as compared to the AXA Enterprise Funds; (10) alternatives to the Reorganization, including restructuring with different funds and liquidating the AXA Enterprise Funds; (11) the terms of the proposed Reorganization Agreement, including the anticipated tax-free nature of the transaction for the AXA Enterprise Funds and their shareholders and that the AXA Enterprise Funds would not bear any fees, expenses or explicit brokerage commissions in connection with the Reorganizations; and (12) potential benefits of the Reorganizations to AXA and GSAM and their respective affiliates. At each meeting, AXA representatives discussed, and the Independent Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees reviewed (with the assistance of independent legal counsel), information regarding the Reorganizations. In addition, at the December 7, 2006 meeting, representatives of GSAM met with the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees to discuss GSAM, the GST Funds and the proposed Reorganizations.
      At the December 7, 2006 meeting, AXA and GSAM personnel were interviewed by the Board regarding GSAM, the GST Funds and the proposed Reorganizations. GSAM reviewed, among other things, information

176


 

regarding its investment advisory business and the organizational and operational structure of the GSAM family of funds, including its various service providers. AXA and GSAM noted that GSAM serves as the investment adviser to the GST Funds and would continue to serve in that capacity after the Reorganizations. AXA and GSAM then reviewed GSAM’s investment advisory experience, capabilities and processes in managing funds with investment objectives and policies that are similar to the AXA Enterprise Funds. GSAM also reviewed the qualifications and experience of its portfolio managers for the GST Funds. AXA and GSAM also reviewed the experience and capabilities of the other service providers that provide services to the GST Funds.
      AXA and GSAM stated that the investment objectives, policies and strategies and principal risks of each AXA Enterprise Fund and its Corresponding GST Fund are similar. They also noted that each GST Fund is substantially larger than its corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, which would offer shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds greater opportunity for diversification of investments and economies of scale as shareholders of the GST Funds.
      AXA and GSAM also stated that it is expected that the net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of each GST Fund after the Reorganizations, except the GST Asset Allocation Funds, would be lower than that of the corresponding class of Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund. With respect to the GST Asset Allocation Funds, AXA and GSAM noted that it is expected that the net annual operating expense ratios of the Class A and Institutional Shares of the GST Funds after the Reorganizations would be lower than those of the Class A and Y Shares, respectively, of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, and that it is expected that the net annual operating expense ratios of the Class B and Class C Shares of the GST Funds after the Reorganizations would be higher than those of the Class B and Class C Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Funds. However, AXA and GSAM also noted that the net annual operating expense ratio for each class of Shares of each GST Asset Allocation Fund for the last fiscal year, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest, generally was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invested. In addition, AXA and GSAM noted that GSAM has agreed to cap the net annual operating expenses of each GST Asset Allocation Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization of each such GST Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the net annual operating expense ratio of each such class of Shares of each such GST Fund does not exceed the current net annual operating expense ratio for such class of Shares of such GST Fund as set forth in the annual operating expense table in this Proxy/ Prospectus.
      GSAM also reviewed the performance of each GST Fund and its corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund for various periods ended September 30, 2006 and noted that the performance of each GST Fund for the periods reviewed generally was more favorable or compared reasonably to that of its corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, although there is no guarantee or assurance as to the future performance of the GST Funds.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed with the Board the distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements for the GST Funds, including the sales load structures for each class of Shares. GSAM noted that the sales load structures generally are similar, except that Class A Shares of the GST Equity Funds and GST Asset Allocation Funds have a higher front-end sales load but a lower Rule 12b-1 fee than the corresponding AXA Enterprise Funds.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed with the Board the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement, noting that the Reorganizations are expected to be tax-free to each of the AXA Enterprise Funds and their respective shareholders. They also noted that AXA and GSAM would bear the costs associated with the Reorganizations, including the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the Reorganizations and the explicit brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions incurred in connection with the Reorganizations. They also noted that shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds would not pay any sales charges in connection with the Reorganizations.
      AXA and GSAM also noted that the interests of the shareholders would not be diluted by the Reorganizations because each Reorganization would be effected on the basis of each participating Fund’s net asset value.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed information regarding potential benefits of the Reorganizations to AXA and GSAM, respectively, including those under the purchase agreement between AXA and GSAM. They also noted

177


 

that the Reorganizations were part of a larger set of reorganizations involving the 12 funds of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust, 14 funds of the Enterprise Trust and one fund of the Enterprise Group. AXA also noted that GSAM had agreed to use its best efforts to assure compliance with the conditions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser or any affiliated persons thereof to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a sale of securities of, or any other interest in, such adviser which results in an assignment of an investment advisory contract with an investment company as long as two conditions are met. First, no “unfair burden” may be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. As defined in the 1940 Act, the term “unfair burden” includes any arrangement during the two-year period after which such transaction occurs whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser) or any interested person of any such adviser receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services), or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter of the investment company). The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees were advised that AXA and GSAM were not aware of any circumstances relating to the Reorganizations that might result in the imposition of an “unfair burden” on any AXA Enterprise Fund. Second, during the three-year period immediately following the change of control, at least 75% of an investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” of the investment adviser or the predecessor investment adviser within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The GST Board of Trustees currently satisfies and intends to continue to satisfy this condition.
      At the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees meeting held on December 28, 2006, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees reviewed additional information regarding the proposed Reorganizations. At that meeting, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees determined that, based on the representations and information from AXA and GSAM, each Reorganization was in the best interest of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund involved therein, and that the interests of the current shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees also considered and unanimously approved the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement. The Board’s conclusion as to each Reorganization was based on a number of factors, including the following:
  •  The Reorganizations will enable shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund to continue their investment in a GST Fund that has similar investment objectives, policies and risks as the AXA Enterprise Fund and which is part of a substantially larger, more diversified family of funds with increased potential for asset growth and the benefits of that growth resulting from economies of scale and greater portfolio diversification.
 
  •  GSAM has substantial experience, qualifications and capabilities in managing mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies as the AXA Enterprise Funds.
 
  •  The historical investment performance records of each GST Fund for the periods reviewed generally compared reasonably to that of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, although there is no guarantee or assurance as to the future performance of the GST Funds.
 
  •  The net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of each GST Fund after the Reorganizations, except for the GST Asset Allocation Funds, is expected to be lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund.
 
  •  The net annual operating expense ratios of the Class A and Institutional Shares of the GST Asset Allocation Funds after the Reorganizations are expected to be lower than those of the Class A and Y Shares, respectively, of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Funds, and the net annual operating expense ratios of the Class B and Class C Shares of the GST Funds are expected to be higher than those of the Class B and Class C Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Funds. However, the net annual operating expense ratio for each class of Shares of each GST Asset Allocation Fund for the last fiscal year, including the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which they invest, generally was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, including the expenses of the

178


 

  Underlying Funds in which it invested. In addition, GSAM has agreed to cap the net annual operating expenses of each GST Asset Allocation Fund (Class B and Class C Shares) for one year from the effective time of the Reorganization, as described above.
 
  •  The distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements compare favorably to those of the AXA Enterprise Funds. In addition, as a result of the Reorganizations, each shareholder of an AXA Enterprise Fund would receive shares of a corresponding class of the corresponding GST Fund that has a similar sales charge and Rule 12b-1 fee structure. Although the Class A Shares of the GST Equity Funds and GST Asset Allocation Funds generally have a higher front-end sales load than Class A Shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Funds, the ongoing Rule 12b-1 fee for Class A Shares of the GST Funds is lower than that of the AXA Enterprise Funds.
 
  •  As a result of the Reorganizations, each shareholder invested in shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund would hold, immediately after the Reorganization, shares of the corresponding class of the corresponding GST Fund having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of those AXA Enterprise Fund Shares held immediately before the Effective Time of the Reorganization.
 
  •  Goldman Sachs has substantial distribution capabilities for the GST Funds, which is reasonably likely to lead to future growth of the GST Funds.
 
  •  The Reorganizations are expected to be tax-free for the AXA Enterprise Funds and their shareholders.
 
  •  The AXA Enterprise Funds would not bear any of the expenses of the proposed Reorganizations.

      On the basis of the foregoing and other representations and information provided to it and its evaluation of those representations and information, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, including the Independent Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, voted unanimously to approve the Reorganization Agreement with respect to each AXA Enterprise Fund and to recommend that the shareholders also approve the Reorganizations.
The Reorganization Agreement
      The following summary of the Reorganization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement attached to this Proxy/ Prospectus as Appendix A.
      The Reorganization Agreement provides that with respect to each AXA Enterprise Fund: (1) all of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s assets will be acquired, and all of its liabilities (other than those liabilities specifically excluded under the Reorganization Agreement) will be assumed, by its Corresponding GST Fund in exchange for Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares (as shown in the chart appearing in the “Summary” section above) (collectively, “GST Shares”), (2) such GST Shares will be distributed to the shareholders of the corresponding share class of the AXA Enterprise Fund, and (3) each AXA Enterprise Fund will liquidate.
      Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described below, each Reorganization is scheduled to occur immediately before the opening of business on April 30, 2007 or on a later date as the parties may agree (the “Effective Time of the Reorganization”).
      Generally, with respect to each Reorganization, each shareholder of an AXA Enterprise Fund will receive the number of full and fractional (to the third decimal place) Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class A Shares or Institutional Shares of its Corresponding GST Fund equal in value to the value of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class P Shares or Class Y Shares, respectively, held as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the business day preceding the Effective Time of the Reorganization or other agreed upon time and date (the “Valuation Time”). Immediately upon receipt of GST Fund shares, each AXA Enterprise Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the Valuation Time in complete liquidation thereof the shares of the Corresponding GST Fund received by such AXA Enterprise Fund in the Reorganization.
      Each such distribution by an AXA Enterprise Fund will be accomplished by the transfer of the Corresponding GST Fund’s shares then credited to the account of the AXA Enterprise Fund on the Correspond-

179


 

ing GST Fund’s share records to open accounts on those share records in the names of the record shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund. The aggregate net asset values of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class A Shares and Institutional Shares of the Corresponding GST Fund to be credited to the accounts of each AXA Enterprise Fund’s shareholders will be equal to the aggregate net asset values of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class P Shares and Class Y Shares, respectively, of the AXA Enterprise Fund owned by such shareholders at the Valuation Time. All issued and outstanding shares of each AXA Enterprise Fund will simultaneously be canceled on its share records.
      Under the Reorganization Agreement, Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST will not bear any fees, expenses or explicit brokerage commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement. All of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out those transactions will be paid by AXA Equitable or GSAM (or any affiliate thereof).
      The Reorganization Agreement provides that each GST Fund will assume all obligations of its Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund to indemnify the Independent Trustees against all liabilities and expenses to the extent provided by Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-laws.
      The Reorganization Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties made by Enterprise Multimanager Trust to GST related to, among other things, its legal status, compliance with laws and regulations and financial position (section 4.1) and similar representations and warranties made by GST to Enterprise Multimanager Trust (section 4.2). The Reorganization Agreement contains a number of conditions precedent that must occur before either Enterprise Multimanager Trust or GST is obligated to proceed with any of the Reorganizations (Article VI). These include, among others, that: (1) the shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund approve the Reorganization and the Reorganization Agreement with respect thereto; (2) Enterprise Multimanager Trust receives from GST’s legal counsel and GST receives from Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s legal counsel, certain opinions supporting the representations and warranties made by each party regarding legal status and compliance with laws and regulations (including an opinion from GST’s counsel that the shares issued in the Reorganizations will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable); (3) both Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST receive from GST’s counsel the tax opinion discussed below under “Federal Income Tax Consequences;” and (4) both Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST receive certain certificates from the other’s officers concerning the continuing accuracy of its representations and warranties made in the Reorganization Agreement.
      The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated and the Reorganizations abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time of the Reorganizations by: (1) the mutual written consent of Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST; or (2) either Enterprise Multimanager Trust or GST (a) following any material breach by the other of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Reorganization Agreement if such breach is not cured within 10 business days; (b) if any applicable condition precedent is not satisfied by December 31, 2007; or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that has a material adverse effect upon the other or a Fund thereof; (d) if the Effective Time does not occur by December 31, 2007; or (e) following a determination by its Board that the consummation of the Reorganizations is not in the best interest of its shareholders.
      Approval of each Reorganization requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the relevant AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. See the section of this Proxy/ Prospectus entitled “Voting Information” for more information.
      The Reorganization Agreement provides that the failure of any AXA Enterprise Fund to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Reorganization Agreement will not affect the consummation of the Reorganization of any other AXA Enterprise Fund.
      At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds into the GST Funds, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, thirteen additional portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and one portfolio of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. In this regard, it is proposed that: (1) the AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; and (2) the AXA Enterprise Equity Fund of the AXA Enterprise

180


 

Funds Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund. A separate combined proxy statement/ prospectus is being mailed to shareholders of those AXA Enterprise Funds. The Reorganizations will be completed whether or not the reorganizations of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust or The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. portfolios are completed. However, no Reorganization involving any AXA Enterprise Fund will be consummated until either (i) shareholders of all AXA Enterprise Funds approve the Reorganization Agreement or (ii) shareholders of certain but not all AXA Enterprise Funds approve the Reorganization Agreement and shareholders of certain portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust or The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. approve related agreements and plans of reorganization such that the AXA Enterprise Funds and the portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. whose shareholders provided approval have combined total assets under management of at least $1,000,000,000. Under certain circumstances detailed in the Reorganization Agreement, reorganization involving one or more AXA Enterprise Funds may be consummated with a lesser amount of combined total assets under management.
      The Reorganization Agreement also provides that in order to facilitate the transfer of the assets of the AXA Enterprise Funds at the Effective Time of a Reorganization, GSAM may request that AXA Equitable use its commercially reasonable best efforts, subject to its fiduciary duty and that of the investment sub-adviser to the applicable AXA Enterprise Fund, to limit or cease portfolio trading on behalf of that AXA Enterprise Fund for a period of up to three days prior to the Valuation Time of the Reorganization.
      Although each AXA Enterprise Fund has a similar investment objective and principal strategies to its Corresponding GST Fund, some of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings may not be permissible portfolio holdings of its Corresponding GST Fund. Therefore, some portion of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings may be sold prior to or immediately following its Reorganization. In addition, GSAM anticipates selling a portion of certain AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings shortly after its Reorganization. To the extent that an AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings are sold prior to its Reorganization, the proceeds of such sales will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that the Corresponding GST Fund may hold. The possible need for a Fund to dispose of certain portfolio investments in connection with its Reorganization could result in selling such investments at a disadvantageous time and price. The sale of securities either prior to its Reorganization or shortly thereafter could result in the AXA Enterprise Fund or its Corresponding GST Fund realizing gains (which may be taxable) or losses that would not otherwise have been realized but for the Reorganization. Such a sale of assets and the reinvestment of the proceeds would involve brokerage and other transactional costs. In that event, GSAM will pay the explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of either Fund in connection with the Reorganizations.
      If the Reorganizations are approved, AXA Enterprise Fund shareholders who do not wish to have their AXA Enterprise Fund shares exchanged for shares of a Corresponding GST Fund as part of the Reorganizations should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Reorganizations. If you redeem your shares, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them. In addition, if you redeem your shares prior to the Reorganizations and your shares are subject to a CDSC, your redemption proceeds will be reduced by any applicable sales charge.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
      Shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund as of its Effective Time of the Reorganization will receive full and/or fractional Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of the respective Corresponding GST Fund in accordance with the procedures provided for in the Reorganization Agreement, as described above. The GST Fund shares to be issued in connection with each Reorganization will be fully paid and non-assessable when issued, and will have no pre-emptive or conversion rights (except that Class B Shares of each GST Fund convert to Class A Shares of the same Fund approximately eight years after purchase). The rights of shareholders of Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST are comparable. For more information see “Comparison of Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s and GST’s Charter Documents” below and “Comparison of Shareholder Transactions and Services of the AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds” in Appendix E.

Federal Income Tax Consequences
      The exchange of each AXA Enterprise Fund’s assets for the Corresponding GST Fund shares and its assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of the AXA Enterprise Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. As a condition to the closing of each Reorganization, Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST will receive the opinion of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, counsel to GST, to the effect that on the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings and pronouncements and court decisions, and certain facts, qualifications, assumptions and representations, for federal income tax purposes:
(1) each Reorganization will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund will be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;
 
(2) each AXA Enterprise Fund will recognize no gain or loss (a) upon the transfer of its assets to the Corresponding GST Fund in exchange for that GST Fund’s shares and the assumption of the liabilities of the AXA Enterprise Fund, and (b) upon the distribution of those shares to the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund;
 
(3) each GST Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund in exchange for shares of such GST Fund and the assumption of the liabilities of such AXA Enterprise Fund;
 
(4) the tax basis in the hands of each GST Fund of each asset of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund transferred to such GST Fund in their Reorganization will be the same as the basis of that asset in the hands of such AXA Enterprise Fund immediately before the transfer;
 
(5) the holding period of each asset of each AXA Enterprise Fund in the hands of the Corresponding GST Fund will include the period during which that asset was held by such AXA Enterprise Fund;
 
(6) the shareholders of each AXA Enterprise Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon their receipt of shares of the Corresponding GST Fund;
 
(7) the aggregate tax basis of the GST Fund shares received by each shareholder of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund will equal the aggregate tax basis of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor;
 
(8) the holding period of the GST Fund shares received by each AXA Enterprise Fund shareholder will include the holding period of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the AXA Enterprise Fund shares are held by that shareholder as capital assets on the date of the exchange; and
 
(9) each GST Fund will succeed to and take into account the tax attributes of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
      Shares held for the purpose of investment are generally considered to be capital assets.
      Neither Enterprise Multimanager Trust nor GST has sought a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS nor does it preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary position.
      At or before the Valuation Time, each AXA Enterprise Fund will pay a dividend that, together with all previous dividends, will have the effect of distributing to its shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) (and net tax-exempt income, if any,) for all taxable periods at years ending at or before the Effective Time of a Reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, after reduction for any capital loss carry-forwards recognized in those periods or years. Any such dividends will generally be included in the taxable income of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s shareholders. The sale of securities by an AXA Enterprise Fund prior to its Reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business

182


 

or in anticipation of the Reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution made by the AXA Enterprise Fund prior to its Reorganization.
      As a result of the Reorganization, each GST Fund will succeed to the tax attributes of the Corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund, except that the amount of capital loss carryforwards of an AXA Enterprise Fund that the Corresponding GST Fund may use to offset capital gains it recognizes after its Reorganization will be subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. In general, the limitation for each taxable year will equal the sum of (1) the product of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization (the “AXA Enterprise Fund’s NAV”) multiplied by the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (which is a market-based rate published by the IRS each month) for the month in which the Effective Time occurs plus (2) the amount of any net unrealized built-in gain of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization that the GST Fund recognizes in any taxable year all or part of which is in the period through the fifth anniversary of the Reorganization (as long as the amount of net unrealized built-in gain is greater than the lesser of (i) 15% of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s NAV or (ii) $10,000,000). The annual limitation will be proportionately reduced for the portion of the GST Fund’s current taxable year after the Effective Time of the Reorganization and for any subsequent short taxable year.
      Certain GST Funds anticipate selling portions of the portfolio holdings received from AXA Enterprise Funds after the Reorganizations. The sale of these securities after the Reorganizations will result in those GST Funds recognizing gains and/or losses that they would not otherwise have realized were it not for the Reorganizations. If the net effect of these additional gains and/or losses is an increase in a GST Fund’s net short-term or long-term capital gain for the current calendar year and/or fiscal year, the amount of its taxable distributions to shareholders may likely be increased.
      Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning the potential tax consequences of each Reorganization to them, including foreign, state and local tax consequences.
Comparison of Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s and GST’s Charter Documents
      Both Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. Their operations are governed by their respective Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-laws and applicable Delaware law. The operations of both Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST are also subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and applicable state securities laws. In general, the charter documents governing Enterprise Multimanager Trust are similar to those documents governing GST. The attributes of a share of beneficial interest of Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST are also comparable. The following is only a summary of certain of the differences between Enterprise Multimanager Trust and its Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter”), on the one hand, and GST and its Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “GST Charter”), on the other. It is not a complete list of differences.
     Trustees of Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST
      Subject to the provisions of the GST Charter, the operations of GST are supervised by GST’s Trustees and, subject to the provisions of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter, the operations of Enterprise Multimanager Trust are supervised by Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s Trustees. The responsibilities, powers and fiduciary duties of the GST Trustees are substantially the same as those of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees. The GST Charter permits GST’s Board of Trustees to remove a Trustee with or without cause at any time by a written instrument signed by at least a majority of the then Trustees specifying the effective date of removal or by the vote of holders of shares of beneficial interest of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of GST at a meeting of the shareholders.
      The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter permits Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees to remove a Trustee with or without cause at any time by a written instrument signed by at least two-thirds of the other Trustees, specifying the effective date of removal, or by the vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Enterprise Multimanager Trust at a meeting of the shareholders.

      Both the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter and GST Charter permit the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees or the GST Trustees, as applicable, to amend the respective Charter documents without a shareholder vote. However, shareholders of the GST Trust have the right to vote on any amendment: (1) that would adversely affect the voting rights of shareholders; (2) that is required by law to be approved by shareholders; (3) that would amend the provisions of the GST Charter regarding amendments thereto; or (4) that the GST Trustees determine to submit to shareholders.
      Shareholders of Enterprise Multimanager Trust have the right to vote on any amendment: (1) that would affect the voting rights of shareholders granted in Article V of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter; (2) that would amend the provisions of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter regarding amendments to the Charter; (3) that is required by applicable law or by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s registration statement; or (4) that the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees determine to submit to shareholders.
Liability and Indemnification of Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees and GST Trustees
      To protect the GST Trustees against certain liabilities, the GST Charter provides that if the GST Trustees have exercised reasonable care and have acted under reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interests of GST, the GST Trustees shall not be responsible or liable for any action or omission or for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee, investment adviser or independent contractor of GST; however, nothing in the GST Charter protects a GST Trustee against any liability to GST or its shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
      In addition, the GST Charter provides for indemnification of the GST Trustees, officers, employees and agents of GST unless the recipient is adjudicated: (1) to be liable by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office; or (2) not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such person’s actions were in the best interest of GST.
      The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter has similar liability and indemnification provisions.
     Shareholder Liability
      Under Delaware law, shareholders generally are not personally liable for the obligations of a Delaware statutory trust. A shareholder is entitled to the same limitation of liability extended to stockholders of private, for-profit corporations. Similar statutory or other authority, however, limiting shareholder liability does not exist in certain states. As a result, to the extent that Enterprise Multimanager Trust or GST or a shareholder of either is subject to the jurisdiction of courts in those states, the courts may not apply Delaware law, thereby subjecting the shareholder to liability. To guard against this risk, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter and the GST Charter: (1) contain an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of each of Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST; and (2) provide for indemnification out of Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s and GST’s property, as applicable, for any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of an applicable Fund. In addition, notice of disclaimer of shareholder liability will normally be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by a GST Fund, GST, an AXA Enterprise Fund and/or Enterprise Multimanager Trust. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment because of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which: (1) a court refuses to apply Delaware law; (2) no contractual limitation of liability is in effect; and (3) the applicable Fund is unable to meet its obligations to indemnify a shareholder. In light of Delaware law, the nature of Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s and GST’s businesses and the nature of their assets, Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s and GST’s respective Board of Trustees believes that the risk of personal liability to a shareholder is extremely remote.
Voting Rights of Shareholders of Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST
      Neither Enterprise Multimanager Trust nor GST is required to hold annual meetings of shareholders and Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST do not intend to hold such meetings. In the event that a meeting of shareholders is held, each share of GST will be entitled, as determined by the GST Trustees without the vote or

184


 

consent of shareholders, either to one vote for each share or to one vote for each dollar of net asset value represented by such shares on all matters presented to shareholders including the election of GST Trustees (this method of voting being referred to as “dollar based voting”). However, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or otherwise determined by the GST Trustees, series and classes of GST will vote separately from each other. Shareholders of GST do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of Trustees. Meetings of shareholders of GST, or any series or class thereof, may be called by the GST Trustees, certain officers or upon the written request of holders of 10% or more of the shares entitled to vote at such meetings. The GST Trustees will call a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees if, at any time, less than a majority of Trustees holding office at the time were elected by shareholders. The GST Charter provides that the shareholders have the power to vote only with respect to: (1) the election of GST Trustees to the extent and as provided therein; (2) the removal of GST Trustees as provided therein; (3) any matter required to be approved by the shareholders under the 1940 Act; (4) the termination of GST under certain circumstances as provided therein; (5) certain amendments of the GST Charter; and (6) with respect to such additional matters relating to GST as may be required or authorized by law, the GST Charter or the GST By-laws or any registration of GST with the SEC or any state, or as the GST Trustees may consider desirable.
      Similarly, a shareholder meeting may be called by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees for the purpose of electing Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees, for such other purposes as may be prescribed by law, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter or the By-laws or for any other matter deemed by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees to be necessary or desirable. The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter provides that its shareholders shall have the power to vote only: (1) for the election of Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees to the extent and as provided therein; (2) the removal of Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees to the extent and as provided therein; (3) the termination of Enterprise Multimanager Trust to the extent and as provided therein; (4) the amendments of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter to the extent and as provided therein; and (5) such additional matters relating to Enterprise Multimanager Trust as may be required or authorized by law, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter, or the By-laws or any registration of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust with the SEC or any state, or as the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees may consider desirable. The shareholder of record of such share is entitled to one vote for each full share and a fractional vote for each fractional share. Shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees or on any other matter.
      Except when a larger vote is required by law, both the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter and GST Charter require the holders of one-third of the shares entitled to vote to establish a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders. In addition, both the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter and GST Charter provide that, except when a larger vote is required by law, by the respective GST Charter or Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter, or by the respective By-laws of GST or Enterprise Multimanager Trust, the holders of shares representing a majority of votes present and entitled to be cast at a shareholders’ meeting in person or by proxy on the matter shall decide that matter except that a plurality of votes cast shall elect a Trustee.
     Termination of Enterprise Multimanager Trust/ GST and its Series or Classes
      The GST Charter permits the termination of GST or any series or class of GST: (1) by a majority of the affected shareholders at a meeting of shareholders of GST, series or class; or (2) by a majority of the GST Trustees without shareholder approval if the GST Trustees determine, in their sole discretion, that such action is in the best interest of GST, such series, such class or their shareholders.
      Similarly, the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Charter provides that Enterprise Multimanager Trust may be terminated at any time by: (1) a vote of a majority of the shares of each series entitled to vote, voting separately by series; or (2) by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees by written notice to the shareholders. Any series or class may be terminated at any time by: (1) a vote of a majority of the shares of such series or class entitled to vote; or (2) by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees by written notice to the shareholders of such series or class.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE AXA ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND GST FUNDS
Investment Advisers and Advisory Fee Information
      The GST Funds are managed on a day-to-day basis by GSAM and GSAM will continue to manage the GST Funds after the Reorganization. As of December 31, 2006, GSAM had assets under management of approximately $ billion.
      AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, currently serves as investment adviser to each AXA Enterprise Fund of the Enterprise Multimanager Trust. In addition, sub-advisers have been hired to manage the investments of certain AXA Enterprise Funds as discussed earlier in this Proxy/Prospectus. AXA Equitable pays the sub-advisers out of the advisory fees that it earns from the AXA Enterprise Funds.
      The following table shows the contractual investment advisory fees including the fee ratios after any fee waivers for each AXA Enterprise Fund and its Corresponding GST Fund. The fees for the AXA Enterprise Funds are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended October 31, 2006. The fees for the GST Funds represent the pro forma annualized advisory fees before and after waivers based upon fee arrangements that will be in place upon consummation of the Reorganization. None of the funds are large enough to have reached a breakpoint.

Financial Highlights
      The following financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand each GST Fund’s financial performance for the past five years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single GST Fund share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a GST Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information for the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The information for the Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s and Ernst & Young LLP’s reports along with such GST Fund’s financial statements, are included in each GST Fund’s annual report, which are available upon request without charge. The financial highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2006 with respect to certain GST Funds are unaudited. No financial highlights tables are presented for the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund because this GST Fund did not commence operations until November 1, 2006.

Materials Incorporated By Reference
      Information about the AXA Enterprise Funds is included in the Prospectuses (as supplemented) for Enterprise Multimanager Trust dated March 1, 2006, as supplemented, and the Annual Report for Enterprise Multimanager Trust for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, which are incorporated herein by reference.
      Information about the GST Funds is included in the Prospectuses (as supplemented) dated: (1) December 29, 2006 for the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund; (2) April 28, 2006 for the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund, Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio, and (3) October 16, 2006 (Class A and Institutional Shares) and December 15, 2006 (Class B Shares) for the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund copies of which accompany this Proxy/ Prospectus and are incorporated herein by reference.
VOTING INFORMATION
General Information
      The Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees are furnishing this Proxy/ Prospectus in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. Officers and service contractors of Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST may also solicit proxies by telephone or otherwise. In this connection, Enterprise Multimanager Trust may retain                     to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Any expenses incurred as a result of hiring                     will not be borne by Enterprise Multimanager Trust or an AXA Enterprise Fund but by AXA Equitable or GSAM (or any affiliate thereof). It is estimated that the cost associated with using                     as a proxy solicitor will be approximately $          . Shareholders may vote: (1) by mail, by marking, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy ballot(s) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, (2) by touch-tone voting, or (3) by on-line voting. Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by submitting to Enterprise Multimanager Trust a written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person.

212


 

      Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. On that date, the following AXA Enterprise Fund shares were outstanding and entitled to be voted:
         
    Shares Outstanding and
AXA Enterprise Fund   Entitled to Vote
     
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Growth Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Value Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Value Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Multimanager International Equity Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund
       
AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund
       
      Each whole and fractional share of an AXA Enterprise Fund is entitled to a whole or fractional vote, as the case may be.
      The votes of the shareholders of the GST Funds are not being solicited since their approval or consent is not necessary for the Reorganizations to take place.
      If an accompanying proxy is executed and returned in time for the Special Meeting, the shares covered thereby will be voted in accordance with the proxy on all matters that may properly come before the Special Meeting.
Shareholder and Board Approvals
      The Reorganization Agreement is being submitted for approval by the AXA Enterprise Funds’ shareholders at the Special Meeting, and was unanimously approved by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust Trustees at a meeting held on December 28, 2006. Enterprise Multimanager Trust shareholders will vote on the Reorganization Agreement on a fund by fund basis. One-third of the shares of each AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting. Approval of each Reorganization requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of the relevant AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A vote for the Reorganization Agreement includes a vote for the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds; conversely, a vote against the Reorganization Agreement is a vote against the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds. The Reorganization Agreement provides that in the event the Reorganization Agreement is approved with respect to less than all of the AXA Enterprise Funds, the failure of an AXA Enterprise Fund to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement shall not affect the consummation or validity of the Reorganization with respect to any other AXA Enterprise Fund. Accordingly, it is possible that if a shareholder owns shares in two or more AXA Enterprise Funds and one of the AXA Enterprise Funds does not approve the Reorganization, then the shareholder of the particular AXA Enterprise Fund which did not approve the Reorganization would remain a shareholder of that AXA Enterprise Fund. However, with respect to the AXA Enterprise Funds that approve the Reorganization, the shareholder of those particular AXA Enterprise Funds at the Effective Time of the Reorganization would become a shareholder of the Corresponding GST Funds.
Quorum and Adjournment
      In the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, one or more adjournment(s) may be proposed to permit further solicitation of proxies. In determining whether to adjourn the Special Meeting with

213


 

respect to a proposal, the following factors may be considered: the percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative votes cast, the nature of any further solicitation and the information to be provided to owners with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Generally, votes cast in favor of a proposal will be voted in favor of adjournment while votes cast against a proposal will be voted against adjournment.
      Any adjourned session or sessions may be held after the date set for the original Special Meeting without notice except announcement at the Special Meeting or other reasonable notice to persons present at the Special Meeting and the adjourned meeting is held within a reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting as determined by the Enterprise Multimanager Trust’s officers. Any such adjournment(s) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares affected by the adjournment(s) that are represented at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. A shareholder vote may be taken with respect to one or more AXA Enterprise Funds (but not the other AXA Enterprise Funds) on some or all matters before any such adjournment(s) if a quorum is present and sufficient votes have been received for approval with respect to such AXA Enterprise Funds.
      A quorum is constituted with respect to an AXA Enterprise Fund by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of 331/3% of the shares of such AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Special Meeting, abstentions will be treated as shares that are present at the Special Meeting but which have not been voted. Abstentions will have the effect of a “no” vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approvals of the Reorganization Agreement. Broker “non-votes” (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will have the same effect as abstentions.
Principal Shareholders
      As of February 12, 2007, the officers and Trustees of Enterprise Multimanager Trust as a group owned or controlled less than 1% of each AXA Enterprise Fund’s outstanding shares. As of February 12, 2007, the officers and Trustees of GST as a group owned or controlled less than 1% of each GST Fund’s outstanding shares. The following table sets forth the name, address and share ownership of each person known to Enterprise Multimanager Trust to have ownership with respect to 5% or more of a class of an AXA Enterprise Fund as of February 12, 2007. The type of ownership of each entry listed on the table is record ownership. The percentage of the Corresponding GST Fund that would be owned by the below named shareholders upon consummation of the Reorganization is expected to decline.

      For purposes of the 1940 Act, any person who owns directly or through one or more controlled companies more than 25% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to “control” such company. Accordingly, to the extent that a shareholder identified in the foregoing table is identified as the beneficial holder of more than 25% of a class, or is identified as the holder of record of more than 25% of a class and has voting and/or investment power, it may be presumed to control such class.
      Enterprise Multimanager Trust and GST have been advised by AXA Equitable that the Shares of each AXA Enterprise Fund over which AXA Equitable and its affiliates have voting power will be voted by AXA Equitable either for or against approval of the Reorganization Agreement with respect to an AXA Enterprise Fund, or as an abstention, in the same proportion as the Shares held by other shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting are voted. In certain cases, AXA Equitable and its affiliates may have the power to vote, as record holder of AXA Enterprise Fund shares, 50% or more of the outstanding shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund.

Legal Proceedings
      On April 2, 2004, Lois Burke, a plaintiff identifying herself as a shareholder of the Goldman Sachs Internet Tollkeeper Fund, filed a purported class and derivative action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Goldman Sachs, GSAM, the Trustees and Officers of GST, and John Doe Defendants. In addition, certain other investment portfolios of GST were named as nominal defendants. On April 19 and May 6, 2004, additional class and derivative action lawsuits containing substantially similar allegations and requests for redress were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 29, 2004, the three complaints were consolidated into one action, In re Goldman Sachs Mutual Funds Fee Litigation, and on November 17, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint against Goldman Sachs, GSAM, Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), the Trustees and Officers of GST and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (“GSVIT”) and John Doe Defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Certain investment portfolios of GST and GSVIT (collectively, the “Goldman Sachs Funds”) were named as nominal defendants in the amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on April 15, 2005.
      The second amended consolidated complaint, which is brought on behalf of all persons or entities who held shares in the Goldman Sachs Funds between April 2, 1999 and January 9, 2004, inclusive (the “Class Period”), asserts claims involving (i) violations of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, (ii) common law breach of fiduciary duty, and (iii) unjust enrichment. The complaint alleges, among other things, that during the Class Period, the Defendants made improper and excessive brokerage commission and other payments to brokers that sold shares of the Goldman Sachs Funds and omitted statements of fact in registration statements and reports filed pursuant to the 1940 Act which were necessary to prevent such registration statements and reports from being materially false and misleading. In addition, the complaint alleges that the Goldman Sachs Funds paid excessive and improper investment advisory fees to GSAM and GSAMI. The complaint also alleges that GSAM and GSAMI used Rule 12b-1 fees for improper purposes and made improper use of soft dollars. The complaint further alleges that GST’s Officers and Trustees breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the foregoing. The plaintiffs in the cases are seeking compensatory damages; rescission of GSAM’s and GSAMI’s investment advisory agreements and return of fees paid; an accounting of all Goldman Sachs Funds-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. On January 13, 2006, all claims against the Defendants were dismissed by the U.S. District Court. On February 22, 2006, the plaintiffs appealed this decision. By agreement, plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their appeal without prejudice but reserved their right to reactivate their appeal pending a decision by the circuit court of appeals in similar litigation.
      Based on currently available information, GSAM and GSAMI believe that the likelihood that the pending purported class and derivative action lawsuit will have a material adverse financial impact on the Goldman Sachs Funds is remote, and the pending action is not likely to materially affect their ability to provide investment management services to their clients, including the Goldman Sachs Funds.

sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties, and AXA and GSAM to the extent indicated above, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE REORGANIZATION AND FUND TRANSACTIONS
      1.1 The Reorganization and Fund Transactions. In accordance with Title 12 of the Delaware Code (the “Delaware Law”) and the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and by-laws, as they may be amended from time to time, of Multimanager Trust (“Multimanager Governing Documents”), at the Effective Time (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, Multimanager Trust shall assign, deliver and otherwise transfer all of the Fund Assets of each Multimanager Fund, subject to all of the Liabilities of such Multimanager Fund, to GST on behalf of the GST Fund set forth opposite such Multimanager Fund on Exhibit A attached hereto (each such Multimanager Fund and its corresponding GST Fund, a “Transaction Party” of the other), and GST shall assume all of the Liabilities of each Multimanager Fund on behalf of its GST Fund Transaction Party. In consideration of the foregoing, GST shall, on behalf of each GST Fund, at the Effective Time deliver to Multimanager Trust on behalf of each Multimanager Fund set forth opposite such GST Fund on Exhibit A, full and fractional (to the third decimal place) Institutional shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares of such GST Fund. The number of shares of each such class of each such GST Fund shall be determined as set forth in paragraph 2.3 by dividing (a) the value of the Fund Assets attributable to the class of its Multimanager Fund Transaction Party set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A attached hereto, net of such Multimanager Fund’s Known Liabilities attributable to such class (computed as of the Valuation Time (as defined below) in the manner set forth in paragraph 2.1), by (b) the net asset value of one share of such class of such GST Fund (computed as of the Valuation Time in the manner set forth in paragraph 2.2). (Each such transaction between a Multimanager Fund and its GST Fund Transaction Party is hereinafter referred to as a “Fund Transaction”). At and after the Effective Time, all of the Fund Assets of each Multimanager Fund shall become and be included in the Fund Assets of its GST Fund Transaction Party and the Liabilities of each Multimanager Fund shall become and be the Liabilities of and shall attach to its GST Fund Transaction Party. At and after the Effective Time, the Liabilities of each Multimanager Fund may be enforced only against its GST Fund Transaction Party to the same extent as if such Liabilities had been incurred by such GST Fund Transaction Party subject to any defense and/or set off that Multimanager Trust or such Multimanager Fund was entitled to assert immediately prior to the Effective Time and further subject to any defense and/or setoff that GST or a GST Fund may from time to time be entitled to assert.
      1.2 Multimanager Fund Assets.
           (a) At least fifteen Business Days prior to the Valuation Time, Multimanager Trust will provide GST with a schedule of the securities and other assets and Known Liabilities of each Multimanager Fund. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, GST has provided Multimanager Trust with a copy of the current investment objective, investment policies, principal investment strategies, and restrictions applicable to each GST Fund (including restrictions applicable to GSAM arising as a result of the investment activities of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its Affiliates for proprietary accounts and other clients) and GST will provide Multimanager Trust with a written notice of any changes thereto until the Valuation Time. Multimanager Trust reserves the right to sell any of the securities or other assets shown on the list for any Multimanager Fund prior to the Valuation Time but will not, without the prior approval of GST, acquire any additional securities other than securities which the Multimanager Fund’s Transaction Party may purchase in accordance with its stated investment objective and policies.
           (b) At least ten Business Days prior to the Valuation Time, GST will advise Multimanager Trust of any investments of a Multimanager Fund shown on the Multimanager Fund’s schedule provided pursuant to paragraph (a) which the Multimanager Fund Transaction Party would not be permitted to hold (i) under its investment objective, principal investment strategies or investment restrictions; (ii) under applicable Law; or (iii) because the transfer of such investments would result in material operational or administrative difficulties to GST in connection with facilitating the orderly transition of the Multimanager Fund’s Fund Assets. Under such

A-2


 

circumstances, to the extent practicable, Multimanager Trust will, if requested by GST and, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies and the fiduciary duties of the investment sub-adviser responsible for the portfolio management of the Multimanager Fund, dispose of such investments prior to the Valuation Time. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of two Transaction Parties, when aggregated, would contain investments exceeding certain percentage limitations to which a GST Fund is or will be subject with respect to such investments, Multimanager Trust will, if requested by GST and, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies and the fiduciary duties of AXA or the investment sub-adviser responsible for the portfolio management of the Multimanager Fund, dispose of and/or reinvest a sufficient amount of such investments as may be necessary to avoid violating such limitations as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will require a Multimanager Fund to dispose of any portfolio securities or other investments, if, in the reasonable judgment of the Multimanager Funds’ Board or Multimanager Trust’s investment adviser, such disposition would adversely affect the tax-free nature of the Reorganization for federal income tax purposes or would otherwise not be in the best interests of a Multimanager Fund.
      1.3 Assumption of Liabilities. Multimanager Trust will, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies, use its best efforts to discharge all of the Known Liabilities of each Multimanager Fund prior to or at the Effective Time. GST, on behalf of each GST Fund, will assume all of the Liabilities of the Multimanager Fund Transaction Party of such GST Fund. If prior to the Effective Time either Party identifies a Liability that the Parties mutually agree should not be assumed by GST, such Liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Parties at the Closing (the “Excluded Liabilities”). Certain Liabilities that would otherwise be listed as Excluded Liabilities may be assumed by GST on the condition that GST and the GST Funds be indemnified in writing to their reasonable satisfaction by AXA against any and all losses, claims, damages or liability that GST and the GST Funds may become subject to as a result of assuming such Liability. GST shall not assume any Liability for any obligation of Multimanager Trust to file reports with the SEC, Internal Revenue Service or other regulatory or tax authority covering any reporting period ending prior to or at the Effective Time with respect to Multimanager Trust or any Multimanager Fund.
      1.4 Distribution of GST Shares. Immediately upon receipt, Multimanager Trust, on behalf of each Multimanager Fund, will distribute the Institutional shares, Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class A shares of such Multimanager Fund’s Transaction Party received by Multimanager Trust from GST pursuant to paragraph 1.1 (the “GST Shares”), pro rata to the record holders of the Class Y shares, Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class P shares, respectively, of such Multimanager Fund determined as of the Valuation Time in complete liquidation of such Multimanager Fund. Such distribution will be accomplished by an instruction, signed by an appropriate officer of Multimanager Trust, to transfer the GST Shares then credited to each Multimanager Fund’s account on the Books and Records of GST and to open accounts on the Books and Records of GST established and maintained by GST’s transfer agent in the names of record holders of each class of shares of such Multimanager Fund and representing the respective pro rata number of each class of such GST Shares due to such record holder. All issued and outstanding Multimanager Trust shares will be cancelled promptly by Multimanager Trust on Multimanager Trust’s Books and Records. Any such shares issued and outstanding prior to such cancellation shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the GST Shares issued to such Multimanager Fund in accordance with paragraph 1.1 above. In addition, each record holder of a Multimanager Fund shall have the right to receive any unpaid dividends or other distributions which were declared with respect to his/her or its shares of such Multimanager Fund at or before the Valuation Time.
      1.5 Liquidation of Multimanager Funds. As soon as conveniently practicable after the distribution of GST Shares pursuant to paragraph 1.4 has been made, Multimanager Trust shall take, in accordance with Delaware Law, the 1940 Act and the Multimanager Governing Documents, all steps as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a complete liquidation and termination of each Multimanager Fund that consummates a Fund Transaction.
      1.6 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer taxes payable on issuance of GST Shares in a name other than that of the record holder of Multimanager Trust shares on Multimanager Trust’s Books and Records shall be paid by the Person to whom such GST Shares are issued and transferred, as a condition of that transfer.

           (a) GST is a statutory trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified, licensed or admitted to do business and is in good standing as a foreign association under the Laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification, licensing or admission necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or admitted and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on its properties or assets or the properties or assets of any GST Fund. GST has full power under its Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated January 28, 1997, as amended from time to time, and amended and restated by-laws (“GST Governing Documents”) to conduct its business as it is now being conducted and to own the properties and assets it now owns for itself and on behalf of each GST Fund. GST has all necessary authorizations, licenses and approvals from any applicable Governmental or Regulatory Body necessary to carry on its business as such business is now being carried on except authorizations, licenses and approvals that the failure to so obtain would not have a Material Adverse Effect on GST.
           (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by GST on behalf of each GST Fund and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly and validly authorized by the GST Board and the GST Board has approved the Fund Transactions. No other action on the part of GST or its shareholders, or the shareholders of each GST Fund, is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by GST on behalf of each GST Fund or the consummation of each Fund Transaction contemplated herein. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by GST

           (c) The authorized capital of GST consists of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a par value of one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share. Each class and series of shares has been duly established and represents a fractional undivided interest in one of the GST Funds. The issued and outstanding GST shares of each class and series are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights of any kind to acquire from GST any shares of any series or equity interests of any GST Fund or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or which otherwise confer on the holder thereof any right to acquire, any such additional shares, nor is GST committed to issue any share appreciation or similar rights or options, warrants, rights or securities in connection with any series of shares. GST has no share certificates outstanding.
           (d) GST has no subsidiaries.
           (e) Except for consents, approvals, or waivers to be received prior to the Effective Time, including shareholder approval by each Multimanager Fund, and upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by GST for itself and on behalf of each GST Fund does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not: (i) violate or conflict with the terms, conditions or provisions of the GST Governing Documents, or of any material contract, agreement, indenture, instrument, or other undertaking to which it is a party or by which it or a GST Fund is bound, (ii) result in the acceleration of any obligation, or the imposition of any penalty, under any material agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which GST is a party or by which it or a GST Fund is bound, (iii) result in a breach or violation by GST or any GST Fund of any terms, conditions, or provisions of any Law or Order, or (iv) require any consent or approval of, filing with or notice to, any Governmental or Regulatory Body.

A-17


 

                (v) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered under the applicable Laws of the State of Delaware by Multimanager Trust and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by GST, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Multimanager Trust, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equity principles;
                (vi) to the Knowledge of such counsel, as of the date of its mailing, the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, and as of the date of its filing, the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and other financial and statistical information contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, 1934 Act and the 1940 Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder;
                (vii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement did not and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a material breach of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, the Multimanager Governing Documents or any material agreement or instrument known to such counsel to which Multimanager Trust is a party or by which any properties belonging to Multimanager Trust may be bound;
                (viii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement did not and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a material violation by Multimanager Trust or a Multimanager Fund of any terms, conditions, or provisions of any federal securities Law or Delaware Law; and
                (ix) to the Knowledge of such counsel, no consent, approval, authorization or other action by or filing with any Governmental or Regulatory Body is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, except such as have been obtained or made under the 1933 Act, 1934 Act and the 1940 Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and Delaware Law and except such as may be required under state securities Laws.
      In rendering such opinion, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP may rely upon certificates of officers of Multimanager Trust and of public officials as to matters of fact.
      Such opinion (i) shall state that while such counsel have not verified, and are not passing upon and do not assume responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any portion of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, they have generally reviewed and discussed certain information furnished therein with respect to the Multimanager Funds with certain officers of Multimanager Trust and that in the course of such review and discussion no facts came to the attention of such counsel which caused them to believe that, on the mailing date of the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus and on the effective date of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto and only insofar as they relate to the information furnished with respect to Multimanager Trust and the Multimanager Funds, the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus, Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) shall state that such counsel do not express any opinion or belief as to the financial statements, other financial data, statistical data or financial information relating to Multimanager Trust and the Multimanager Funds contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; (iii) may rely on the opinion of other counsel to the extent set forth in such opinion, provided such other counsel is reasonably acceptable to GST; and (iv) shall state that such opinion is solely for the benefit of GST and its trustees and officers.
           (c) Trust shall have furnished to GST the unaudited statements required by paragraph 5.6.
           (d) Multimanager Trust shall have furnished to GST a certificate of Multimanager Trust, signed by the president and treasurer of Multimanager Trust, dated as of the Effective Time, to the effect that they have examined the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus and the Registration Statement (and any supplement thereto) and this Agreement and that:
                (i) the representations and warranties of Multimanager Trust in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Time and Multimanager Trust has complied with all the

A-18


 

agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Effective Time; and
                (ii) since the date of the most recent financial statements of the Multimanager Funds included in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), there has been no Material Adverse Effect on the business or properties of any of the Multimanager Funds (other than changes in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, dividends and other distributions in the ordinary course and changes in net asset value per share), except as set forth in or contemplated in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus (or any supplement thereto).
           (e) Multimanager Trust shall have duly executed and delivered to GST, on behalf of each Multimanager Fund, such bills of sale, assignments, certificates and other instruments of transfer, including transfer instructions to Multimanager Trust’s custodian and instructions to GST’s transfer agent as GST may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence the transfer to the respective Transaction Party of such Multimanager Fund all of the right, title and interest of such Multimanager Fund in and to the respective Fund Assets of such Multimanager Fund.

           (g) At the Valuation Time and Effective Time, except as previously disclosed to GST in writing, and except as have been corrected as required by applicable Law, and to the best of Multimanager Trust’s Knowledge, there shall have been no material miscalculations of the net asset value of any Multimanager Fund or the net asset value per share of any series of shares during the twelve-month period preceding the Valuation Time and Effective Time, and all such calculations shall have been made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act. At the Valuation Time and Effective Time, all Liabilities chargeable to each share class of a Multimanager Fund which are required to be reflected in the net asset value per share of a share class of a Multimanager Fund in accordance with applicable Law will be reflected in the net asset value per share of such share class of a Multimanager Fund.
           (h) GST shall have completed to its satisfaction its due diligence review of Multimanager Trust and each Multimanager Fund.
           (i) Multimanager Trust’s agreements with each of its service contractors shall have terminated at the Effective Time with respect to each Multimanager Fund, and each Party has received assurance that no claims for damages (liquidated or otherwise) will arise as a result of such termination.

                (ii) each Multimanager Fund will recognize no gain or loss (A) upon the transfer of its Fund Assets to the corresponding GST Fund in exchange for GST Shares of such GST Fund and the assumption of all of the Liabilities of such Multimanager Fund, and (B) upon the distribution of those GST Shares to the shareholders of such Multimanager Fund;

      10.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
      10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflicts of Laws.
      10.9 Further Assurances.

      10.11 Failure of Any Fund(s) to Consummate the Transactions.
           (a) The failure of any GST Fund or Multimanager Fund to consummate its Fund Transaction shall not affect the consummation or validity of the Fund Transaction with respect to any other GST Fund or Multimanager Fund, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed to effect this intent.
           (b) In the event that any Multimanager Fund fails to obtain the required shareholder vote for approval of this Agreement with respect to the Fund Transaction in which it is participating at or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall continue the solicitation of the shareholders of the applicable Multimanager Fund. If approval of this Agreement is denied by the shareholders of a Multimanager Fund, such Multimanager Fund shall resolicit such shareholders and make such new or amended filings as are required or desirable to obtain such shareholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required shareholder vote for approval of this Agreement with respect to any Fund Transaction has not been obtained on or before the nine-month anniversary of the originally scheduled Effective Time (and before the date specified in paragraph 8.2(e)), then the Parties, AXA and GSAM shall take such actions as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
           (c) Notwithstanding paragraph 10.11(a), no Fund Transaction involving any Multimanager Fund shall be consummated until either (i) shareholders of all Multimanager Funds approve this Agreement with respect to their respective Fund Transactions or (ii) shareholders of certain but not all Multimanager Funds approve this Agreement with respect to their respective Fund Transactions and shareholders of certain portfolios of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (“Enterprise Trust”) or The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (“Enterprise Group”) approve related agreements and plans of reorganization such that the Multimanager Funds and the portfolios of the Enterprise Trust and Enterprise Group whose shareholders provided approval have combined total assets under management of at least $1,000,000,000. If shareholder approval of this Agreement with respect to a Fund Transaction in respect of one or more of the Multimanager Funds has not been received on or before the Effective Time and the Closing, then, if such approvals are ultimately received, a subsequent Closing shall occur, at such time and place and on such date (and with such Effective Time) as is mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party. It is agreed that such subsequent Closing shall not be set in a piecemeal fashion and that no subsequent Fund Transaction involving any Multimanager Fund shall be consummated until shareholders of those remaining Multimanager Funds with combined total assets under management of at least $500,000,000 approve this Agreement with respect to their respective Fund Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a subsequent Fund Transaction involving one or more Multimanager Funds will be consummated with

A-24


 

a lesser amount of combined total assets under management if no other Fund Transactions are reasonably believed by AXA to occur by December 31, 2007 or if it is mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party.
      10.12 Validity. Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid, but if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by Law or invalid, then such provision or term shall be ineffective only in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions so holding and only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
      10.13 Effect of Facsimile Signature. A facsimile signature of an authorized officer of a Party hereto on any Transfer Document shall have the same effect as if executed in the original by such officer.
      10.14 GST Liability. The name “Goldman Sachs Trust” is the designation of the trustees for the time being under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated January 28, 1997, as amended from time to time, and all Persons dealing with GST or a GST Fund must look solely to the property of GST or such GST Fund for the enforcement of any claims as none of its trustees, officers, agents or shareholders assume any personal liability for obligations entered into on behalf of GST. No GST Fund shall be liable for any claims against any other GST Fund. Both Parties along with GSAM and AXA specifically acknowledge and agree that any liability of GST under this Agreement with respect to a particular GST Fund, or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein with respect to a particular GST Fund, shall be discharged only out of the assets of the particular GST Fund and that no other portfolio of GST shall be liable with respect thereto.
      10.15 Multimanager Trust Liability. The name “AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust” is the designation of the trustees for the time being under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated October 2, 2001 and all Persons dealing with Multimanager Trust or a Multimanager Fund must look solely to the property of Multimanager Trust or such Multimanager Fund for the enforcement of any claims as none of its trustees, officers, agents or shareholders assume any personal liability for obligations entered into on behalf of Multimanager Trust.

APPENDIX C
Comparison of the Investment Restrictions of the
AXA Enterprise and GST Funds
      This section briefly compares and contrasts certain fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions of each AXA Enterprise Fund with those of its corresponding GST Fund. More complete information may be found in the respective statements of additional information for the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds.
      Unless otherwise indicated, the restrictions discussed below are fundamental policies of an AXA Enterprise or GST Fund. This means that they cannot be changed without approval of shareholders. Investment restrictions that are non-fundamental may be changed for the AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds by the Boards of Trustees of AXA Enterprise Funds and GST, respectively.
      Maintenance of Status as a “Diversified Company.” All the AXA Enterprise Funds (except the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund) and GST Funds are “diversified companies” as defined by the 1940 Act. A “diversified company” is one that, with respect to at least 75% of the value of its total assets, is invested in cash, cash items, government securities and other securities. Investments in other securities are limited as to any one issuer to: (1) an amount no greater than 5% of the value of the total assets of the Fund; and (2) not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. The AXA Enterprise Funds employ the following non-fundamental policy with respect to this diversification restriction: (1) mortgage- and asset-backed securities will not be considered to have been issued by the same issuer by reason of the securities having the same sponsor, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities issued by a finance or other special purpose subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the parent company will be considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the parent company, and (2) each AXA Enterprise Fund will not consider repurchase agreements to be subject to the above-stated 5% limitation if the collateral underlying the repurchase agreements consists exclusively of obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
      Issuance of Senior Securities. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, and then not in excess of 331/3% of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s total assets (including the amount of the senior securities issued but reduced by any liabilities not constituting senior securities) at the time of the issuance. For purposes of this restriction, the purchase or sale of securities on a “when-issued,” delayed delivery or forward commitment basis, and the purchase and sale of options and futures contracts and collateral arrangements with respect thereto are not deemed to be the issuance of a senior security. The GST Funds are prohibited from issuing senior securities except to the extent such issuance would not violate applicable law.
      Borrowings. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not borrow money, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, and then not in excess of 331/3% of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s total assets at the time of the borrowing, except that each AXA Enterprise Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) for temporary purposes such as clearance of portfolio transactions and share redemptions. For purposes of this restriction, the purchase or sale of securities on a “when-issued,” delayed delivery or forward commitment basis, the purchase and sale of options and futures contracts and collateral arrangements with respect thereto are not deemed to be a borrowing or a pledge of assets.
      Each GST Fund has a fundamental investment restriction of not borrowing money, except each GST Fund may: (1) borrow from banks or through reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed); (2) to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes; (3) obtain short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities; (4) purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law; and (5) engage in transactions in mortgage dollar rolls which are accounted for as financings. In addition, each GST Fund has a non-fundamental policy prohibiting a GST Fund from purchasing additional securities if its borrowings (excluding covered mortgage dollar rolls) exceed 5% of its net assets.

C-1


 

      As a non-fundamental policy, both the AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds may not purchase additional securities if a Fund’s borrowings exceed 5% of its net assets.
      Securities Underwriting. Both the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds have similar restrictions with respect to securities underwriting. Neither the AXA Enterprise Funds nor the GST Funds may underwrite securities issued by others except to the extent that the sale of portfolio securities may be deemed to be an underwriting.
      Concentration in Industries. Both the AXA Enterprise Funds and the GST Funds have a similar restriction generally prohibiting them from investing 25% or more of their respective total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more of an AXA Enterprise Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry, except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities or to municipal securities and except that the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund, under normal circumstances, will invest 25% or more of its total assets in the related group of industries consisting of the technology industries (e.g., computers, electronics (including hardware and components), communications, software, e-commerce, information service, biotechnology, chemical products and synthetic materials, and defense and aerospace industries).
      For purposes of applying this restriction to the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, the Fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry (excluding the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities). (For the purposes of this restriction, state and municipal governments and their agencies, authorities and instrumentalities are not deemed to be industries; telephone companies are considered to be a separate industry from water, gas or electric utilities; personal credit finance companies and business credit finance companies are deemed to be separate industries; and wholly-owned finance companies are considered to be in the industry of their parents if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of their parents.) This restriction with respect to the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund does not apply to investments in municipal securities which have been pre-refunded by the use of obligations of the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities. These municipal securities include (a) municipal securities, the interest on which is paid solely from revenues of similar projects such as hospitals, electric utility systems, multi-family housing, nursing homes, commercial facilities (including hotels), steel companies or life care facilities; (b) municipal securities whose issuers are in the same state; and (c) industrial development obligations.
      For purposes of applying this restriction to the Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio, and Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, each of these GST Funds may not invest 25% or more of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry (excluding investment companies and the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities). (For the purposes of this restriction, state and municipal governments and their agencies, authorities and instrumentalities are not deemed to be industries; telephone companies are considered to be a separate industry from water, gas or electric utilities; personal credit finance companies and business credit finance companies are deemed to be separate industries; and wholly-owned finance companies are considered to be in the industry of their parents if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of their parents.) This restriction does not apply to investments in municipal securities which have been pre-refunded by the use of obligations of the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.
      This restriction does not apply to the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund. The Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in companies in one or more of the media, telecommunications, technology and/or internet industries.
      For purposes of applying this restriction to the GST Funds, the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities are excluded.

C-2


 

      Purchases of Real Estate. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in securities of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other instruments supported by interests in real estate are not subject to this limitation, and except that each AXA Enterprise Fund may exercise rights under agreements relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner. The GST Funds may not purchase, hold or deal in real estate, although the GST Funds may purchase or sell: (1) securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate, (2) securities of REITs, (3) mortgage-related securities, and (4) may hold and sell real estate acquired by a Fund as a result of the ownership of securities.
      Commodities. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of owning securities or other instruments, but each Fund may purchase, sell or enter into financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments. None of the GST Funds may invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except that the GST Funds may invest in currency and financial instruments and contracts that are commodities or commodity contracts.
      Loans. The AXA Enterprise Funds may not make loans, except loans of portfolio securities or through repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt securities or instruments, or participations or other interests therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances or similar instruments will not be considered the making of a loan. The GST Funds may not make loans except through (1) the purchase of debt obligations in accordance with each GST Fund’s investment objective and policies; (2) repurchase agreements with banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions; and (3) loans of securities as permitted by applicable law.
      Investments in Other Investment Companies or Series Thereof. As a non-fundamental policy, the AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and orders thereunder and except that (i) this limitation does not apply to securities received or acquired as dividends, through offers of exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger and (ii) each AXA Enterprise Fund, except the AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund, AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund, AXA Enterprise Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund, and AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund, may not acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on Section 12(d)(1)(F) or (G) of the 1940 Act. Notwithstanding any other fundamental investment restriction or policy, a GST Fund may invest some or all of its assets in a single open-end investment company or series thereof with substantially the same investment objective, restrictions and policies as the GST Fund.
      Investments in Illiquid Securities. As a non-fundamental limitation, each AXA Enterprise Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. As a non-fundamental limitation, the GST Funds may not acquire any illiquid (not readily marketable) investments if more than 15% of their net assets would be invested in illiquid investments.
      Investments for Purposes of Exercising Control. As a non-fundamental policy, the GST Funds are restricted from investing in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management (but this does not prevent a GST Asset Allocation Fund from purchasing a controlling interest in one or more of the Underlying Funds consistent with its investment objective and policies). The AXA Enterprise Funds have no similar restriction.
      Short Sales of Securities. As a non-fundamental restriction, the AXA Enterprise Funds may not engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position, except that each AXA Enterprise Fund may (a) engage in covered short sales and (b) maintain short positions in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments. As a non-fundamental limitation, the GST Funds may not make short sales of securities, except short sales against-the-box.

C-3


 

      Purchases of Securities on Margin. As a non-fundamental limitation, each of the AXA Enterprise Funds may not purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credit necessary for clearance of portfolio transactions and except that each AXA Enterprise Fund may make margin deposits in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments. As a fundamental policy, the GST Funds may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law.

     The reduced sales charges on Enterprise Multimanager Trust Class A and Class P Shares and Goldman Class A Shares described above are available through:
          Rights of Accumulation
          AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares
      An investor is entitled to a reduced sales charge on additional purchases of Class A shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund if the value of the investor’s existing aggregate holdings at the time of the additional purchase, calculated at the then applicable net asset value per share or the initial purchase price less any redemptions, whichever is higher, plus the amount of the additional purchase equals $100,000 or more. The investor’s discount is determined based on the schedule listed above under “Sales Charges for AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares.” For purposes of determining the discount, the AXA Enterprise Funds will aggregate holdings of fund shares of the investor’s spouse, immediate family or accounts the investor controls, whether as a single investor or trustee, provided that the investor notifies the AXA Enterprise Funds of the applicable accounts at the time of his/her additional investment by providing the AXA Enterprise Funds with appropriate documentation, including the account numbers for all accounts that the investor is seeking to aggregate.
          GST Funds Class A Shares
      When buying Class A Shares in the GST Funds, the current aggregate investment determines the initial sales charge an investor will pay. An investor may qualify for reduced sales charges when the current market value of holdings across Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares, plus new purchases, reaches $50,000 or more (except for the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund which requires an aggregate of $100,000 or more). Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of any of the GST Funds may be combined under the Right of Accumulation. For purposes of applying the Right of Accumulation, shares of the GST Funds and any other GST Fund purchased by an existing client of Goldman Sachs Wealth Management or GS Ayco Holding LLC will be combined with Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares and other assets held by all other Goldman Sachs Wealth Management accounts or accounts of GS Ayco Holding LLC, respectively. In addition, under some circumstances, Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of the GST Funds and Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of any other Fund of GST purchased by partners, directors, officers or employees of the same business organization, groups of individuals represented by and investing on the recommendation of the same accounting firm, certain affinity groups or other similar organizations may be combined for the purpose of determining whether a purchase will qualify for the Right of Accumulation and, if qualifying, the applicable sales charge level. To qualify for a reduced sales charge, an investor or the investor’s Authorized Dealer must notify the GST Funds’ Transfer Agent at the time of investment that a quantity discount is applicable. Use of this option is subject to a check of appropriate records.

E-3


 

          Letter of Intent
          AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares
      An investor is entitled to a reduced sales charge if he/she executes a Letter of Intent to purchase $100,000 or more of Class A Shares at the public offering price within a period of 13 months. The discount will be determined based on the schedule listed above under “Sales Charges for AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares.” The minimum initial investment under a Letter of Intent is 5% of the amount stated in the Letter of Intent. Class A Shares purchased with the first 5% of such amount will be held in escrow (while remaining registered in the investor’s name) to secure payment of the higher sales charge that would apply to the shares actually purchased if the full amount stated is not purchased, and such escrowed shares will be involuntarily redeemed to pay the additional sales charge, if necessary. When the full amount has been purchased, the escrow will be released. If an investor wishes to enter into a Letter of Intent, he/she should complete the appropriate portion of the new account application. At the investor’s request, purchases made during the previous 90 days may be included.
          GST Funds Class A Shares
      An investor may obtain a reduced sales charge by means of a written Statement of Intention which expresses his/her non-binding commitment to invest (not counting reinvestments of dividends and distributions) in the aggregate $50,000 or more within a period of 13 months in Class A Shares of one or more of the GST Funds (except for the Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund which requires an aggregate of $100,000 or more). Any investments made during the period will receive the discounted sales charge based on the full amount of the investment commitment. At the investor’s request, purchases made during the previous 90 days may be included; however, capital appreciation does not apply toward these combined purchases. If the investment commitment of the Statement of Intention is not met prior to the expiration of the 13-month period, the entire amount will be subject to the higher applicable sales charge. By selecting the Statement of Intention, the investor authorizes the Transfer Agent to escrow and redeem Class A Shares in his/her account to pay this additional charge.

      Repurchase of AXA Enterprise Funds Class A Shares. An investor repurchasing Class A Shares within 180 days redeeming shares in the same class of the same AXA Enterprise Fund is eligible, upon request, for a sales charge waiver or a credit to the investor’s account with the amount of the CDSC previously paid. The reinvested shares will keep their original cost and purchase date for purposes of calculating any future CDSCs. For federal income tax purposes, the original redemption is treated as a sale that involves tax consequences, even if the proceeds are later reinvested. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisor to determine how a redemption would affect them. Enterprise Multimanager Trust may modify or terminate the reinstatement privilege at any time.
      Repurchase of GST Funds Class A Shares. An investor may redeem shares of a GST Fund and reinvest a portion or all of the redemption proceeds (plus any additional amounts needed to round off purchases to the nearest full share) at net asset value. To be eligible for this privilege, the investor must hold the shares he wants to redeem for at least 30 days and must reinvest the share proceeds within 90 days after redemption. An investor may reinvest in Class A Shares of the same GST Fund or another GST Fund.
      If an investor pays a CDSC upon redemption of Class A Shares and then reinvests in Class A Shares as described above, the account will be credited with the amount of the CDSC the investor paid. The reinvested shares will, however, continue to be subject to a CDSC. The holding period of the shares acquired through

reinvestment will include the holding period of the redeemed shares for purposes of computing the CDSC payable under a subsequent redemption.
      The reinvestment privilege may be exercised at any time in connection with transactions in which the proceeds are reinvested at net asset value in a tax-sheltered Employee Benefit Plan. In other cases, the reinvestment privilege may be exercised once per year upon receipt of a written request. There may be tax consequences as a result of a redemption. Professional tax advice should be sought regarding the tax consequences of a redemption and reinvestment.

Sales charge, Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements for GST
      GST Class A Shares. GST has adopted a distribution and service plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act under which Class A Shares of the GST Funds bear distribution and service fees paid to authorized dealers and Goldman Sachs. Under the GST Class A Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee from each GST Fund for distribution services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a GST Fund attributable to Class A Shares.
      GST Class B Shares. GST has adopted a distribution and service plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act under which Class B Shares of the GST Funds bear distribution and service fees paid to authorized dealers and Goldman Sachs. Under the GST Class B Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee from each GST Fund for distribution services and personal account maintenance services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.75% and 0.25%, respectively, of a GST Fund attributable to Class B Shares.
      GST Class C Shares. GST has adopted a distribution and service plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act under which Class C Shares of the GST Funds bear distribution and service fees paid to authorized dealers and Goldman Sachs. Under the GST Class C Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee from each GST Fund for distribution services and personal account maintenance services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.75% and 0.25%, respectively, of a GST Fund attributable to Class C Shares.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
      AXA Enterprise Funds Class B Shares. Class B Shares are sold at net asset value, without any sales charges at the time of purchase. However, there may be a CDSC on shares that is payable upon redemption. The holding period for purposes of timing the conversion to Class A Shares and determining the CDSC will continue to run after an exchange to Class B Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund. The AXA Enterprise Funds will not accept single purchase orders for Class B Shares over $100,000.
      The amount of the CDSC declines as you hold your shares over time, according to the following schedule.

      Class B Shares will automatically convert to Class A Shares of the same AXA Enterprise Fund eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the purchase order for the Class B Shares was accepted. A pro rata portion of any Class B Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions will convert along with Class B Shares that were purchased. Class A Shares are subject to lower expenses than Class B Shares. The conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares is not a taxable event for federal income tax purposes.
      GST Fund Class B Shares. As discussed further below, the CDSC schedule for the Corresponding GST Funds only differs in the third year from the AXA Enterprise Funds CDSC schedule. [Holders of AXA Enterprise Funds Class B Shares who receive GST Fund Class B Shares in connection with the Reorganization will be charged CDSCs on those GST Fund Class B Shares based on the [AXA Enterprise/ GST CDSC schedule set forth above/below.]] In addition, former AXA Enterprise Funds Class B shareholders will be credited for the period of time from the original date of purchase of the AXA Enterprise Funds Class B Shares for purposes of determining the amount of their CDSC, if any. GST Fund Class B Shares purchased after the Effective Time of the Reorganization will be charged CDSCs according to the GST Fund CDSC schedule below.

      Class B Shares of a GST Fund will automatically convert into Class A Shares of the same GST Fund at the end of the calendar quarter that is eight years after the purchase date.
      If an investor acquires Class B Shares of a GST Fund by exchange from Class B Shares of another GST Fund, those Class B Shares will convert into Class A Shares of such GST Fund based on the date of the initial purchase and the CDSC schedule of that purchase.
      If an investor acquires Class B Shares through reinvestment of distributions, those Class B Shares will convert into Class A Shares based on the date of the initial purchase of the shares on which the distribution was paid.
      A maximum purchase limitation of $100,000 in the aggregate normally applies to the purchase of Class B Shares of the GST Funds. Once the current value of an investor’s Class B Shares in the aggregate across all GST Funds is equal to $100,000, an investor will not be allowed to purchase any additional Class B Shares. Individual purchases exceeding $100,000 will be rejected and additional purchases which could cause an investor’s holdings in Class B Shares to exceed $100,000 will be rejected.
      AXA Enterprise Funds Class C Shares. Class C Shares are sold at net asset value. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on redemptions of Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund within the first year after purchase. The holding period for purposes of determining the CDSC will continue to run after an exchange to Class C Shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund. The AXA Enterprise Funds will not accept single purchase orders for Class C Shares over $1,000,000.
      GST Fund Class C Shares. Class C Shares are sold at net asset value. There is no front-end sales charge imposed on Class C Shares of the GST Funds, however, a maximum CDSC of 1.00% is imposed in the event of redemptions within 12 months of purchase (or initial investment in a GST Fund from which an exchange is made). No additional Class C Shares may be purchased by an investor either in an initial purchase or in

E-10


 

subsequent purchases if the current market value of the shares owned and/or purchased is equal to or exceeds $1 million.
      For more information on the circumstances when the Class B Share CDSC will be waived see “CDSC Waivers — AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds.”
          Redemption Fees.
      All AXA Enterprise Funds charge a 2% redemption fee if you redeem or exchange shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less. This fee is assessed and retained by an AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. If the short-term trading fee is $50 or less, it may not be assessed on a redemption or exchange; however, during the 30-day period following a purchase or exchange, an AXA Enterprise Fund reserves the right to collect short-term trading fees relating to a series of transactions by a shareholder if, in the aggregate, the fees total more than $50. The AXA Enterprise Funds will use the “first in, first out” method to determine the shareholder’s holding period. Under this method, the date of redemption or exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in the shareholder’s account. The AXA Enterprise Funds reserve the right to modify or discontinue the short-term trading fee at any time or from time to time.
      Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. For this purpose, a GST Fund uses a first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method so that shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest will be treated as being redeemed last. The redemption fee will be paid to the GST Fund, and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term money movements in and out of the GST Fund. The redemption fee may be collected by deduction from the redemption proceeds or, if assessed after the redemption transaction, through a separate billing.
      The AXA Enterprise Funds and GST Funds do not assess a redemption fee with respect to certain transactions, specifically:
     
AXA Enterprise Funds   GST Funds
     
Shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions;   Redemptions of shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions;
 
Shares redeemed or exchanged by the AXA Enterprise Allocation Funds or the portfolios of the Texas 529 qualified tuition savings plans;   Redemptions of shares by other Funds of GST (e.g., GST Asset Allocation Funds);
 
Shares redeemed or exchanged through an auto rebalancing, or asset reallocation, wrap fee, omnibus or other program approved by AXA Equitable;   Redemptions of shares that are acquired or redeemed in connection with participation in a systematic withdrawal program or automatic investment plan;

Redemptions of shares held through discretionary wrap programs or models programs that utilize regularly scheduled automatic rebalancing of assets and that have provided GSAM with a representation letter specifying certain operating policies and standards;

E-11


 

     
AXA Enterprise Funds   GST Funds
     
 
Shares redeemed by an AXA Enterprise Fund to cover various fees (e.g., account fees).   Redemptions of shares involving transactions other than participant initiated exchanges from retirement plans and accounts maintained pursuant to Section 401 (tax-qualified pension, profit sharing, 401(k), money purchase and stock bonus plans), 403 (qualified annuity plans and tax-sheltered annuities) and 457 (deferred compensation plans for employees of tax-exempt entities or governments) of the Code. Redemptions involving transactions other than participant initiated exchanges would include, for example: loans; required minimum distributions; rollovers; forfeiture; redemptions of shares to pay fees; plan level redemptions or exchanges; redemptions pursuant to systematic withdrawal programs; return of excess contribution amounts; hardship withdrawals; redemptions related to death, disability or qualified domestic relations order; and certain other transactions;

Redemptions of shares from accounts of financial institutions in connection with hedging services provided in support of nonqualified deferred compensation plans offering the GST Funds;

Redemption of shares where the GST Funds are made available as an underlying investment in certain group annuity contracts; or

Redemption of shares that are issued as part of an investment company reorganization to which a GST Fund is a party.

Redemption of shares representing “seed capital” investments by Goldman Sachs or its affiliates.
      Class A, Class B, Class C or Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund issued on the closing date of the Reorganization to AXA Enterprise Fund shareholders in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to a redemption fee. However, new purchases of Class A, Class B, Class C or Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund made by former AXA Enterprise Fund shareholders on or after the closing date of the Reorganization will be subject to the redemption fee.

     Shown below are unaudited pro forma financial statements for the combined Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund and Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund assuming the Reorganization, as more fully described in the combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated ___, 2007, had been consummated as of August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund.
     The Pro Forma Combined Schedules of Investments and the Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund.
     The Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund are for the twelve-months ended August 31, 2006 and have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred September 1, 2005. The Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund are for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2006 and have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred July 1, 2005.
     The unaudited pro forma combined schedules and financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the financial condition that actually would have resulted if the Reorganization had been consummated on August 31, 2006

with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund. These pro forma numbers have been estimated in good faith based on information regarding the applicable AXA Enterprise Multimanager Fund and GST Fund for the twelve month period ended August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund.
     The following unaudited pro forma combined schedules and financial statements have been derived from the schedules and financial statements of certain AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds and GST Funds and such information has been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund; and June 30, 2006 with respect to the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund.
     The unaudited pro forma combined schedules and financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of the particular GST Fund included in the Annual Reports to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 (with respect to the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund) and December 31, 2005 (with respect to the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund) along with the Semi-Annual Report for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2006 (with respect to the Goldman Sachs Tollkeeper Fund), each of which are incorporated herein by reference, and the financial statements and related notes of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund

and AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund of the AXA Enterprise Funds included in its Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 which is incorporated herein by reference. The combination of each AXA Enterprise Multimanager Fund and its corresponding GST Fund will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization.
     There are multiple pro forma financial statements for the combination of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund, AXA Enterprise Capital Appreciation Fund and Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund because it is possible that (i) only one of the AXA Enterprise Fund or AXA Enterprise Multimanager Fund will approve its reorganization with its corresponding GST Fund or (ii) both the AXA Enterprise Fund and AXA Enterprise Multimanager Fund will approve the reorganization with their corresponding GST Fund. Therefore, pro forma financial statements for combined and individual combinations (except the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund and AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund for individual combinations) are shown.
     No pro forma information has been prepared for the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Equity Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager Mid Cap Value Fund, AXA Enterprise Multimanager International Equity Fund, AXA Enterprise Mulitmanager Core Bond Fund, AXA Enterprise Aggressive Allocation Fund, AXA Enterprise Conservative Allocation Fund, AXA Enterprise Moderate Allocation Fund and AXA Enterprise Moderate Plus Allocation Fund because as of January 12, 2007 the net asset value at such AXA Enterprise Funds did not exceed 10% of the net asset value of the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Core Plus Fixed Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio and Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio, respectively, and therefore pro forma information is not required.

GOLDMAN SACHS STRUCTURED U.S. EQUITY FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust(the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Capital Appreciation Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust(the “Multimanager Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Multimanager Trust currently has thirteen portfolios, including the Multimanager Core Equity (the “Multimanager Portfolio”) which offers five classes of shares—Class A, B, C, P, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Portfolio and Class A and Class P of the Multimanager Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolio and Class B of the Multimanager Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Portfolio and Class C of the Multimanager Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolio and Class Y of the Multimanager Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio and Multimanager Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A
  Class B
  Class C
  Institutional
Shares Issued
    6,182,112       2,252,214       2,183,278       2,221,889  
Net Assets 08/31/2006
  $ 196,536,820     $ 67,387,928     $ 65,014,308     $ 72,167,169  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 08/31/2006
  $ 31.79     $ 29.92     $ 29.78     $ 32.48  

 


 

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Fund, which are subject to taxes. Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
    The Portfolio and the Multi

Expiring 2011
           
 
Total
  $ 28,608     $ 21,317,839  
 
*   Expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

2


 

E. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with a broker or the Funds’ custodian bank on behalf of the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum ‘‘initial margin’’ requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (‘‘variation margin’’) are paid or received by the Funds, dependant on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, transfers uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
G. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
H. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     The Investment Adviser has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the Fund which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of December 29, 2005 to achieve the rates listed below:
         
Average Daily Net Assets
 
Annual Rate
First $1 Billion
    0.65 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.59 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.56 %
 

3


 

     Additionally, effective December 29, 2005, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its Management fees equal to 0.14% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.004% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively.

     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses.

6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.

     Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $7,169 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $2,714, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $54,679,277 collateralized by cash in the amount of $55,463,875. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

GOLDMAN SACHS TOLLKEEPER FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (the “Multimanager Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. The Multimanager Funds Trust currently has thirteen portfolios, including the Multimanager Technology Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers five classes of shares—Class A, B, C, P, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Class A of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund, Class P of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund and Class Y of the Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on June 30, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the June 30, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A   Class B   Class C   Institutional
   
 
 
 
Shares Issued
    2,814,913       3,304,766       906,474       734,933  
Net Assets 06/30/2006
  $ 22,226,360     $ 24,796,314     $ 6,796,586     $ 5,965,611  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 06/30/2006
  $ 7.90     $ 7.50     $ 7.50     $ 8.12  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 


 

A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted. In addition, it is the Fund’s policy to accrue for estimated capital gains taxes on foreign securities held by the Fund, which are subject to taxes. Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
Capital Loss Carryforward*   The Portfolio   Tollkeeper Fund

 
 
Expiring 2007
  $ 262,559     $  
Expiring 2008
  7,945      
Expiring 2009
  48,249     775,761  
Expiring 2010
  102     476,361  
Expiring 2011
        137,998  
Expiring 2012
        1,146  
 
Total
  $ 318,858     $ 1,391,266  
 
     
*   Expiration occurs on December 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.
E. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians

2


 

under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), or its affiliates, transfers uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements.
F. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
G. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
     GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     The Investment Adviser has entered into a fee reduction commitment for the Fund which was implemented on a voluntary basis beginning July 1, 2005 and on a contractual basis as of April 28, 2006 to achieve the rates listed below:
         
Average Daily Net Assets   Annual Rate

First $1 Billion
    1.00 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.90 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.86 %
 
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.064% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.
     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $14,000, $1,900, and $200 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and

3


 

0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $0, $179,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $304,000, $590,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At June 30, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $225,000, $148,000, and $41,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. In addition, amounts owed to affiliates by The Portfolio were approximately $0, $0, and $0 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
     Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006, BGA earned $9,843 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $4,138, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At June 30, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $12,200,250 collateralized by cash in the amount of $12,537,250. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

      The GST Fund shares you receive in the reorganization will have the same total dollar value as the total dollar value of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares that you held immediately prior to the reorganization.

(“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that the AXA


 

Enterprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Group Directors approve the proposed reorganization. After reviewing and considering, with the assistance of the independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Fund, GSAM and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Enterprise Group Directors determined that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund is in the best interest of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund.

THE ENTERPRISE GROUP OF FUNDS, INC.
GOLDMAN SACHS TRUST
                    , 2007
Questions & Answers
For Shareholders of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc.:
      The following questions and answers provide an overview of the proposal to reorganize the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund (the “AXA Enterprise Fund”) of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (“Enterprise Group”) into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund (the “GST Fund”) offered by the Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”). We also encourage you to read the full text of the combined proxy statement/ prospectus (the “Proxy/ Prospectus”) that follows.
 
Q: What are AXA Enterprise Fund shareholders being asked to vote upon?
 
A: AXA Enterprise Fund shareholders are being asked in the attached Proxy/ Prospectus to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of January     , 2007 (the “Reorganization Agreement”) under which the AXA Enterprise Fund would reorganize into the GST Fund.
 
Q: Why has the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund been recommended?
 
A: The Enterprise Group Board of Directors (the “Enterprise Group Directors”) have determined that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund is in the best interest of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund. At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial, Inc. and Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. (“ECM” and together with AXA Financial, Inc., “AXA”), the investment adviser to the AXA Enterprise Fund, informed the Enterprise Group Directors that AXA had entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that the AXA Enterprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Group Directors approve the proposed reorganization.


The Enterprise Group Directors reviewed and considered, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Fund, GSAM, the investment adviser to the GST Fund and Goldman, Sachs & Co. The Enterprise Group Directors also considered that neither Enterprise Group nor GST will bear any direct fees or expenses in connection with the reorganization or any explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the AXA Enterprise Fund in preparation for, or immediately following, the reorganization. Under the Reorganization Agreement, which contemplates the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund, all of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement whether or not the transactions contemplated are concluded will be paid by ECM (or an affiliate) or GSAM (or an affiliate).
Q: What is the anticipated timing of the reorganization?
 
A: The Special Meeting of shareholders to consider the proposal is scheduled to occur on April 25, 2007. If all necessary approvals are obtained, the proposed reorganization will likely take place immediately before the opening of business on April 30, 2007.
 
Q: Who will receive the Proxy/ Prospectus material?
 
A: The Proxy/ Prospectus has been mailed to all persons and entities that held shares of record in the AXA Enterprise Fund on February 12, 2007. Please note that in some cases record ownership of and/or voting

1


 

authority over the AXA Enterprise Fund shares may reside with a fiduciary or other agent. In these cases, the fiduciary or other agent may receive the Proxy/ Prospectus.
 
Q: How is the AXA Enterprise Fund proposed to be reorganized?
 
A: As you may know, Enterprise Group consists of two separate mutual funds, only one of which would be affected by the proposed reorganization. The Reorganization Agreement for the AXA Enterprise Fund that was approved by the Enterprise Group Directors contemplates the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund, which has a similar investment objective and policies. Under the Reorganization Agreement, the share classes listed below of the AXA Enterprise Fund will be reorganized into the corresponding share classes of the GST Fund.

       
Enterprise Group Fund   GST Fund
     
AXA Enterprise Growth Fund
  Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund
 
Class A Shares
    Class A Shares
 
Class B Shares
    Class B Shares
 
Class C Shares
    Class C Shares
 
Class Y Shares
    Institutional Shares
      The sales loads and Rule 12b-l fees for each class of shares of the GST Fund generally are similar to those of the AXA Enterprise Fund, except that Class A shares of the GST Fund are subject to a higher front-end sales load equal to 5.50% of the offering price for Class A shares (versus 4.75% for Class A shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund), but a lower Rule 12b-l fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (versus 0.45% for Class A shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund).
      At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, fourteen additional portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and twelve portfolios of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. In this regard, it is proposed that in addition to the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund, the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund, a series of AXA Enterprise Funds Trust, will be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. The AXA Enterprise Growth Fund Reorganization will be completed whether or not the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust or AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust is completed. Separate proxy/prospectuses have been mailed to shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust.
      If the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund is approved by its shareholders, shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund who do not wish to have their AXA Enterprise Fund shares exchanged for shares of the GST Fund as part of the reorganization should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you will recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them, unless you are a tax-exempt investor. In addition, if you redeem your shares prior to the reorganization and your shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, your redemption proceeds will be reduced by any applicable sales charge.
Q: What are the key differences between my AXA Enterprise Fund and the corresponding GST Fund?
 
A: AXA Equitable has recommended the acquiring fund based on, among other factors, its evaluation of the compatibility of your fund’s investment objective and policies with those of the acquiring fund. There are, however, certain differences in investment objectives, principal investment policies and strategies, and principal risks between your fund and the acquiring fund. Please see the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus for more details on these differences, including comparative data on fees and performance. The following chart provides a brief summary of some of the more significant factors considered by your fund’s board.

AXA Enterprise Growth
into
Goldman Sachs Capital
Growth Fund
  • Each Fund seeks long-term growth of capital and invests primarily in equity securities of large-cap U.S. issuers.
• The GST Fund is substantially larger than the AXA Enterprise Fund with net assets of approximately $1.7 billion versus $1.1 billion.
• The net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund for the last fiscal year was lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund.
Q: What are the costs and federal tax implications to shareholders in connection with the proposed reorganization?
 
A: Neither Enterprise Group nor GST will bear any direct fees or expenses in connection with the reorganization or any explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the AXA Enterprise Fund in preparation for, or immediately following, the reorganization. Under the Reorganization Agreement, GSAM (or an affiliate) and ECM (or an affiliate) have agreed to pay all of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement whether or not the transactions contemplated are concluded.

No sales charge will be imposed on the shares of the GST Fund issued to you in the reorganization, which means that the aggregate value of the GST Fund shares issued to you will be equal to the aggregate value of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares that you own immediately prior to the reorganization. In addition, the reorganization is intended to be tax-free under federal tax law (however, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position). However, immediately prior to the reorganization, the AXA Enterprise Fund will declare and pay a final distribution to its shareholders of all of its investment company taxable income (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for taxable years ending on or before the effective time of the reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, recognized in those years. The sale of securities by the AXA Enterprise Fund prior to the reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business or in anticipation of the reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution it makes before the reorganization.

SUMMARY
      The following is a summary of certain information contained in this Proxy/ Prospectus and the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement governs the terms of the Reorganization and is attached as Appendix A.
Board’s Consideration of the Reorganization
      At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial, Inc. and Enterprise Capital Management, Inc, (“ECM” and together with AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA”)), the investment adviser to the AXA Enterprise Fund, informed the Enterprise Group Directors that AXA had entered into an agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business. AXA also noted that, as part of this transaction, it was contemplated that the AXA Enterprise Fund would reorganize into a corresponding series of GST. AXA stated its belief that the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the corresponding GST Fund is in the best interests of shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and recommended that the Enterprise Group Directors approve the proposed reorganization.
      In addition to the October 23 meeting, the Enterprise Group Directors met on December 1, December 13 and December 29, 2006 to consider the Reorganization Agreement and the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund. The Enterprise Group Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)) of Enterprise Group (the “Independent Enterprise Group Directors”), together with their independent legal counsel, also met in executive session at the October 23 and December 13 meetings to consider the Reorganization. After reviewing and considering, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, a number of factors relating to GST, the GST Funds, GSAM and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Enterprise Group Directors, including all of the Independent Enterprise Group Directors, determined that participation in the Reorganization, as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, is in the best interests of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. For additional information, see “Additional Information about the Reorganization — Reasons for the Reorganization and Board Considerations” below.
      Enterprise’s Group Directors, including all of the Independent Enterprise Group Directors, unanimously recommend that shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement.
      At a meeting held on                     , 2006, the GST Board of Trustees similarly found that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the GST Fund and that the interests of the shareholders of the GST Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
The Reorganization
      The Reorganization Agreement provides for a reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and its share classes into the GST Fund and its corresponding share classes listed opposite its name below.
     
AXA Enterprise Growth Fund   Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund†
     
Class A Shares
                     Class A Shares
Class B Shares
                     Class B Shares
Class C Shares
                     Class C Shares
Class Y Shares
                     Institutional Shares
     
It is also proposed that the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. A separate combined proxy statement/ prospectus is being mailed to shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund.
     The GST Fund has investment objectives and policies that are similar to the AXA Enterprise Fund being reorganized into it. You should note that an investment in each Fund is subject to specific risks arising from the

1


 

types of securities in which the Fund invests and general risks arising from investing in any mutual fund. There is no assurance that either Fund will meet its investment objective, and investors could lose money by investing in a Fund. As with all mutual funds, an investment in a Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
      As set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, the Reorganization between the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund would involve:
  The acquisition of all of the assets of the AXA Enterprise Fund by the GST Fund and the assumption by the GST Fund of all of the liabilities (other than those liabilities specifically excluded under the Reorganization Agreement) of the AXA Enterprise Fund, in exchange for the number of shares of the corresponding classes of the GST Fund noted in the above chart having aggregate values equal to the net asset values of the shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s corresponding classes noted in the above chart as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective time of the Reorganization;
 
  The distribution of the GST Fund’s Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares to each holder of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class Y Shares, respectively, of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s as of the effective time of the Reorganization; and
 
  The complete liquidation of the AXA Enterprise Fund.
      As a result of the Reorganization, each AXA Enterprise Fund shareholder will become a shareholder of the GST Fund and will hold, immediately after the Reorganization, shares in such GST Fund having a total dollar value equal to the total dollar value of the shares such shareholder held in the AXA Enterprise Fund immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reorganization. The Reorganization is intended to be tax-free under the federal tax law (although there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position) and shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will not pay any sales charge as a result of the Reorganization.
      If approved, the Reorganization will occur as of the opening of business on or about April 30, 2007, or another date selected by Enterprise Group and GST. Approval of the Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting. See “Additional Information about the Reorganization” and “Voting Information” below.
      At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, fourteen additional portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and twelve portfolios of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. The Reorganization will be completed whether or not the reorganizations of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust or Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust portfolios are completed.
      Although the AXA Enterprise Fund has a similar investment objective and principal strategies to the GST Fund, some of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings may not be permissible portfolio holdings for the GST Fund. Therefore, some portion of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings may be sold prior to or immediately following the Reorganization. In addition, the investment adviser to the GST Fund, GSAM, anticipates selling a portion of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings shortly after the Reorganization. To the extent that the AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings are sold prior to the Reorganization, the proceeds of such sales will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that the GST Fund may hold. The possible need for a Fund to dispose of certain portfolio investments in connection with the Reorganization could result in selling such investments at a disadvantageous time and price. The sale of securities either prior to the Reorganization or shortly thereafter could result in the AXA Enterprise Fund or the GST Fund realizing gains (which may be taxable) or losses that would not otherwise have been realized but for the Reorganization. Such a sale of assets and the reinvestment of the proceeds would involve brokerage and other transactional costs. In this event, GSAM will pay the explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of either Fund in connection with the Reorganization.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganization
      It is intended that the Reorganization will not result in the recognition, for federal income tax purposes, of gain or loss by the AXA Enterprise Fund, the GST Fund or the former’s shareholders, although there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not adopt a contrary position. However, immediately prior to the Reorganization, the AXA Enterprise Fund will declare and pay a distribution to its shareholders of all of its investment company taxable income (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for taxable years ending on or before the effective time of the Reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, recognized in those years. The sale of securities by the AXA Enterprise Fund prior to the Reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business or in anticipation of the Reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution it makes prior to the Reorganization.
      As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Enterprise Group and GST each will receive an opinion from GST’s counsel, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP (based on certain facts, qualifications, assumptions and representations) to the effect that the Reorganization, for federal income tax purposes, will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). See “Additional Information About the Reorganization — Federal Income Tax Consequences,” below.

Comparison of Investment Objective, Policies and Strategies
      The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences of which you should be aware. The investment objective and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. A Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the applicable Board of Directors or Trustees without a vote of that Fund’s shareholders. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For additional information concerning the investment policies of the Funds, see “Comparison of Other Investment Practices and Investment Securities of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund” in Appendix B and “Comparison of Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund” in Appendix C. For information concerning the principal risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

AXA Enterprise Growth Fund   Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund
     
Investment Objective   Investment Objective
Seeks capital appreciation.   Seeks long-term growth of capital.
Investment Policies   Investment Policies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies. For purposes of this Fund, large capitalization companies include those companies with market capitalization in excess of $5 billion at the time of investment.   The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 90% of its total assets (not including securities lending collateral and any investment of that collateral) measured at the time of purchase (“Total Assets”) in equity investments. The Fund’s investment focus is on large-cap U.S. equity investments.
The Fund’s sub-adviser utilizes a “growth at a reasonable price” investment approach that combines growth and value style investing. This means that the Fund invests in the stocks of companies with long-term earnings potential, but which are currently selling at a discount to their estimated long-term value.   The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity investments that are considered by the adviser to have long-term capital appreciation potential.
The Fund intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that the sub-adviser believes will further the fund’s investment objective, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock.   The Fund’s equity investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities, including securities of companies based in developing countries.   The Fund may invest up to 25% of its Total Assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers in emerging countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies.
The Fund also may invest in equity securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies.   The Fund may, to the extent consistent with its investment policies, invest in small- and mid-capitalization companies.
For temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest, without limit, in cash, money market instruments or high quality short-term debt securities, including repurchase agreements.   The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest 100% of its Total Assets in U.S. Government Securities; commercial paper rated at least A-2 by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“Standard & Poor’s” or “S&P”), P-2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or having a comparable rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”); certificates of deposit; bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements; and non-convertible preferred stocks and non-convertible corporate bonds with a remaining maturity of less than one year.
Investment Adviser   Investment Adviser
Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. (“ECM”) serves as the investment manager for the Fund. The day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund is provided by an investment sub-adviser selected by ECM. The Fund’s sub-adviser is Montag & Caldwell, Inc.   GSAM manages the Fund on a day-to-day basis and will continue to manage the Fund after the Reorganization.
Comment: The investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund are, in general, similar. One difference that should be noted is that the GST Fund generally has slightly more flexibility to invest in foreign securities (up to 25% of Total Assets) than the AXA Enterprise Fund (up to 20% of total assets). In addition, the GST Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in non-investment grade fixed income securities, while the AXA Enterprise Fund generally does not invest in such securities.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors
      The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar, as each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the GST Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund. The principal risks to which each Fund is subject are identified in the following table. For an explanation of each such risk, see “Additional Information Applicable to the Reorganization — Risks of Investing in the GST Fund and the AXA Enterprise Fund” below.

Comparison of Fees and Expenses
      Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The total expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund differ from those of the GST Fund. It is expected that shareholders of each class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will incur lower annual operating expense ratios as shareholders of the corresponding class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization. The annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund (after taking into account the expense limitation arrangements) currently is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, after taking into account each Fund’s expense limitation arrangements, as is the pro forma net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the combined GST Fund. However, absent the expense limitation arrangement for the GST Fund, the annual operating expense ratio of the Class B and Class C Shares of the GST Fund currently is higher than that of the Class B and Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund.
      The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund based on actual expenses for a recent twelve month period and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the GST Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization (assuming only the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund into the GST Fund and then assuming the Reorganization of both the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund and AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund into the GST Fund). The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these Funds will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the recent expense levels for the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels would be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their

5


 

customer accounts in connection with investments in the Funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated expense levels, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund’s and GST Fund’s annual operating expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. The Combined Fund pro forma expense ratios are constructed by assuming that the Reorganization occurred on September 1, 2005 and represent the hypothetical experience of the combined pro forma fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. For financial statement purposes, the GST Fund will be the accounting survivor. As the accounting survivor, such Fund’s operating history will be used for financial reporting purposes.
      Example Tables. Following the expense ratio tables are expense examples intended to help you compare and contrast the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists, (2) the GST Fund as it currently exists, (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., the “pro forma figure 1”) and (4) the same GST Fund if both the AXA Enterprise Fund and the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., “pro forma figure 2”).
      The examples depict the dollar amount of expenses on a hypothetical investment in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund for the periods shown. In the “pro forma” line, the dollar figures shown are computed based on the total operating expense figures from the corresponding expense ratio table (and not the net operating expense figure). In other words, the pro forma examples do not reflect any expense waivers or reimbursement.

1 The maximum sales charge is a percentage of the offering price. This sales charge varies depending on how much you invest. Under certain circumstances, the maximum sales charge may be reduced or waived entirely. If you buy $1,000,000 or more ($100,000 or more for certain employee benefit plans and $500,000 or more for certain individual retirement accounts) of Class A Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund at net asset value and redeem those shares within 12 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, a CDSC of 1.00% generally will apply to the redemptions of those shares. A CDSC of 1% is imposed on certain redemptions (within 18 months of purchase) of Class A Shares of a GST Fund sold without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more.
 
2 The maximum CDSC is a percentage of the lesser of the net asset value at the time of the redemption or the net asset value when the shares were originally purchased.
 
3 A CDSC is imposed upon Class B Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within six years of purchase at a rate of 5% in the first year, declining to 1% in the sixth year, and eliminated thereafter. Class B Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which you purchased them and will be subject to lower expenses.
 
4 A CDSC of 1% is imposed on Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
 
5 If you redeem or exchange shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund after holding them one month or less, a fee of 2.00% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged generally will be assessed and retained by the AXA Enterprise Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders.
 
6 GSAM has entered into the following contractual fee reduction commitments for the GST Fund:
             
    Management Fee   Average Daily
GST Fund   Annual Rate   Net Assets
         
Capital Growth Fund
    1.00%     First $1 Billion
      0.90%     Next $1 Billion
      0.80%     Over $2 Billion
  Prior to this fee reduction commitment, the management fee for the GST Fund as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets was 1.00%.
7 “Other Expenses” of the GST Fund include transfer agency fees and expenses equal on an annualized basis to 0.19% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A, B and C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares, plus all other ordinary expenses not detailed above. GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reduce or limit “Other Expenses” (excluding management fees, distribution and service fees, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.004% of the GST Fund’s average daily net assets These expense reductions may be terminated at any time at the option of GSAM.
 
8 Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, ECM and AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable”), the accounting and compliance agent of the AXA Enterprise Fund, have agreed to make payments or waive its management, fund accounting and compliance fees and other fees to limit the expenses of the AXA Enterprise Fund through February 28, 2008 (unless the Enterprise Group Directors consent to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) so that the net annual fund operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of the AXA Enterprise Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.60% for Class A Shares, 2.15% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.15% for Class Y Shares. ECM and AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments or waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the AXA Enterprise Fund’s expense cap. ECM and AXA Equitable may discontinue these arrangements at any time after February 28, 2008.
  A portion of the brokerage commissions that the AXA Enterprise Fund pays is used to reduce the Fund’s expenses. Including this reduction the Net Operating Expenses for the AXA Enterprise Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006 was 1.59% for Class A Shares, 2.14% for Class B and Class C Shares and 1.14% for Class Y Shares.

     The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in: (1) the AXA Enterprise Fund as it currently exists; (2) the GST Fund as it currently exists; (3) the same GST Fund if it acquires the AXA Enterprise Fund (i.e., “combined fund pro forma figure 1”); and (4) the same GST Fund if both the AXA Enterprise Fund and the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund are acquired by the single GST Fund (i.e., “combined fund pro forma figure 2”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y or Institutional Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, the GST Fund or the Combined Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the AXA Enterprise Fund’s, GST Fund’s or Combined Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example for the GST Fund and the Combined Fund does not reflect any waivers and expense limitations. The Example for the AXA Enterprise Fund reflects waivers and expense limitations only for the period for which such arrangements are contractual and assumes that these arrangements are not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1   The Class B example for each Fund reflects the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares after approximately eight years from the date of purchase of Class B Shares.
     The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist an investor in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor will bear directly or indirectly. The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses which may be more or less than those shown. The assumed 5% annual return is hypothetical and should not be considered a representation of past or future annual return. Actual return may be greater or less than the assumed amount. The examples assume that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested.
      The hypothetical example assumes that a CDSC will not apply to redemptions of the AXA Enterprise Fund, GST Fund and Combined Fund Class A Shares within the first 18 months.
      Certain institutions that sell GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund shares and/or their salespersons may receive other compensation in connection with the sale and distribution of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares for services to their customers’ accounts and/or the AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund. For more information regarding such compensation, see “Compensation to Securities Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s prospectus and “Compensation to Financial Intermediaries and Third Party Broker-Dealers” in the AXA Enterprise Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, “Shareholder Guide” in the GST Fund’s prospectuses and “Payments to Intermediaries” in the GST Fund’s Statements of Additional Information.
Comparative Performance Information
      The tables below compare the performance of each Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
      The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A Shares, the assumed CDSC for Class B Shares and the assumed CDSC for Class C Shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.
      These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.
      Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.
      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A Shares at the end of the performance period.

11


 

      Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A Shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).
      Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

1 The after-tax returns are for Class A Shares only. The after-tax returns for Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class Shares will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

Capitalization
      The following tables show the capitalization of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund as of August 31, 2006, respectively, and the capitalization of the GST Fund on a pro forma basis as of that date after giving effect to the Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of a GST Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund if the Reorganization shown had been consummated on August 31, 2006 with respect to the Funds, and do not reflect the number of such shares or the value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization depicted occurs. Amounts in the tables are in thousands, except for net asset value per share. For this Reorganization, because the AXA Enterprise Fund and the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund are being reorganized into the GST Fund, the Pro forma Combined Fund reflects both Funds being reorganized into the GST Fund and only the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund being reorganized into the GST Fund.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION
Risks of Investing in the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund
      All of the principal risks applicable to the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund are summarized in the table appearing above under “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” and are described in more detail in the table that follows below. More information about certain types of portfolio securities and investment techniques, and their associated risks, is provided in Appendix A to the prospectuses of the GST Fund. You should consider the investment risks discussed in this section and the prospectuses of the GST Fund, which are important to your investment choice.
      The GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund will be subject to the risks associated with equity investments. “Equity investments” may include common stocks, preferred stocks, interests in real estate investment trusts, convertible debt obligations, convertible preferred stocks, equity interests in trusts, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and similar enterprises, warrants, stock purchase rights and synthetic and derivative instruments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities. In general, the values of equity investments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and in response to general market and economic conditions. Accordingly, the values of the equity investments that the AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund hold may rise or decline over short or extended periods. The stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when prices generally decline. This volatility means that the value of an investment in an AXA Enterprise Fund or GST Fund may increase or decrease. Recently, certain stock markets have experienced substantial price volatility.
     
Principal Investment Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Net Asset Value Risk — The risk that the net asset value of a Fund and the value of your investment will fluctuate.
  GST Fund

AXA Enterprise Fund
 
Stock Risk — The risk that stock prices have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles.

Interest Rate Risk — The risk that when interest rates increase, securities held by a fund will decline in value. Long-term fixed-income securities will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed-income securities.

Principal Investment Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Credit/Default Risk — The risk that an issuer or guarantor of a security or of a fixed-income security held by a Fund may default on its obligation to pay interest and repay principal.
  GST Fund
 
Derivatives Risk — The risk that loss may result from a Fund’s investments in options, futures, swaps, structured securities and other derivative instruments. These instruments may be leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to a Fund.
  GST Fund
 
Liquidity Risk — The risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the time period stated in its prospectus because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Funds that invest in small and mid-capitalization stocks, real estate investment trusts, and emerging country issuers will be especially subject to the risk that during certain periods the liquidity of particular issuers or industries, or all securities within particular investment categories, will shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic, market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions whether or not accurate.
  GST Fund
 
Investment Style Risk — Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market and economic conditions as well as investor sentiment. A Fund may outperform or underperform other funds that employ a different investment style. Examples of different investment styles include growth and value investing. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investor perceptions of the issuing company’s growth of earnings potential. Growth companies are often expected by investors to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, investors can punish the stock inordinately even if earnings showed an absolute increase. Also, since growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their business, growth stocks may lack the dividends of some value stocks that can cushion stock prices in a falling market. Growth oriented funds will typically underperform when value investing is in favor. Value stocks are those that are undervalued in comparison to their peers due to adverse business developments or other factors.

Foreign Risk — The risk that when a Fund invests in foreign securities, it will be subject to risk of loss not typically associated with domestic issuers. Loss may result because of less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions. A Fund will also be subject to the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations. Foreign risks will normally be greatest when a Fund invests in issuers located in emerging countries.

AXA Enterprise Fund
 
Emerging Countries Risk — The securities markets of Asian, Latin, Central and South American, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, African and other emerging countries are less liquid, are especially subject to greater price volatility, have smaller market capitalizations, have less government regulation and are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements as the securities markets of more developed countries. Further, investment in equity securities of issuers located in certain emerging countries involves risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody and substantial economic and political disruptions. These risks are not normally associated with investments in more developed countries.
  GST Fund

AXA Enterprise Fund
 
Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) Risk — The risk that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. When a Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance.
  GST Fund
 
Issuer-Specific Risk — The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the market as a whole. The Fund could lose all of its investment in a company’s securities.
  GST Fund

AXA Enterprise Fund
 
Large-Capitalization Risk — Larger more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Many larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended period of economic expansion.

Principal Investment Risk   Funds Denoting Risk as a Principal Risk
     
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk — Risk is greater for the securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies because they generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. The securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies also may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than larger companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies, and the fund may experience difficulty in purchasing or selling such securities at the desired time and price. In general, these risks are greater for small-capitalization companies than for mid-capitalization companies.
  AXA Enterprise Fund
 
Sub-adviser Selection Risk — The risk that the process for selecting or replacing a sub-adviser and the decision to select or replace a sub-adviser does not produce the intended result.

Reasons for the Reorganization and Board Considerations
      The Enterprise Group Directors, including the Independent Enterprise Group Directors, have determined that the Reorganization is in the best interest of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund, and that the interests of the current shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Enterprise Group Directors, including the Independent Enterprise Group Directors, also have considered and unanimously approved the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement. The following sets forth in greater detail the steps taken by the Enterprise Group Directors in arriving at these conclusions.
      Background. At a meeting held on October 23, 2006, AXA Financial and ECM (“AXA”) informed the Enterprise Group Directors that they had entered into an agreement with GSAM under which GSAM would acquire certain assets associated with AXA’s retail mutual fund business and AXA would use its reasonable best efforts to effect the Reorganization. AXA also informed the Enterprise Group Directors that, in consideration for these assets, the opportunity to manage additional assets after the proposed Reorganization and covenants from AXA, including its assistance in facilitating the Reorganization, GSAM agreed to pay AXA an amount based on the assets of the AXA Enterprise Fund at the time of the Reorganization. AXA then noted that the Reorganization was subject to the approval of the Enterprise Group Directors and the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund, satisfactory completion of due diligence and execution of the Reorganization Agreement. AXA stated that it proposed to present the Reorganization to the Enterprise Group Directors for their consideration and approval at meetings later in 2006 and noted that the Enterprise Group Directors would receive additional information regarding the Reorganization in advance of such meetings.
      Board Considerations. In addition to the October 23 meeting, the Board also met on December 1, December 13 and December 29, 2006 to consider the proposed Reorganization. The Independent Enterprise Group Directors, together with their independent legal counsel, also met in executive session at the October 23, December 1 and December 13 meetings to consider the Reorganization. In connection with these meetings, the Enterprise Group Directors requested, and AXA and GSAM provided in advance of the meetings, detailed information about the proposed Reorganizations, including information regarding: (1) the reputation, financial strength and capabilities of GSAM and its affiliates; (2) GSAM’s experience with and capabilities managing mutual funds; (3) the investment objectives and policies of the GST Fund and their relative compatibility with those of the AXA Enterprise Fund; (4) the historical investment performance records of the GST Fund and the AXA Enterprise Fund, relative to each other; (5) the investment advisory and total expenses payable and paid by the GST Fund (including pro forma expense information), as compared with those of the AXA Enterprise Fund; (6) the qualifications and experience of the GSAM investment personnel managing the GST Fund; (7) Goldman Sachs’ distribution capabilities, the distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements (including Rule 12b-1

19


 

fees) and the sales charge structures of the GST Fund share classes, as compared with those of the AXA Enterprise Fund; (8) the reputation and capabilities of certain service providers for the GST Fund; (9) the current size of the GST Fund and the prospects for its future growth, as compared to the AXA Enterprise Fund; (10) alternatives to the Reorganization, including restructuring with different funds and liquidating the AXA Enterprise Fund; (11) the terms of the proposed Reorganization Agreement, including the anticipated tax-free nature of the transaction for the AXA Enterprise Fund and its shareholders and that the AXA Enterprise Fund would not bear any fees, expenses or explicit brokerage commissions in connection with the Reorganization; and (12) potential benefits of the Reorganization to AXA and GSAM and their respective affiliates. At each meeting, AXA representatives discussed, and the Independent Enterprise Group Directors reviewed (with the assistance of independent legal counsel), information regarding the Reorganization. In addition, at the December 13, 2006 meeting, representatives of GSAM met with the Enterprise Group Directors to discuss GSAM, the GST Fund and the proposed Reorganization.
      At the December 1 and December 13, 2006 meetings, AXA and GSAM (only with respect to the December 13 meeting) personnel were interviewed by the Enterprise Group Directors regarding GSAM, the GST Funds and the proposed Reorganization. GSAM reviewed, among other things, information regarding its investment advisory business and the organizational and operational structure of the GSAM family of funds, including its various service providers. AXA and GSAM noted that GSAM serves as the investment adviser to the GST Fund and would continue to serve in that capacity after the Reorganization. AXA and GSAM then reviewed GSAM’s investment advisory experience, capabilities and processes in managing funds with investment objectives and policies that are similar to the AXA Enterprise Fund. GSAM also reviewed the qualifications and experience of its portfolio managers for the GST Fund. AXA and GSAM also reviewed the experience and capabilities of the other service providers that provide services to the GST Fund.
      AXA and GSAM stated that the investment objectives, policies and strategies and principal risks of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund are similar. They also noted that the GST Fund is larger than the AXA Enterprise Fund, which would offer shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund additional opportunity for diversification of investments and economies of scale as shareholders of the GST Fund.
      AXA and GSAM also stated that it is expected that, while the advisory fee for the GST Fund is higher than that of the AXA Enterprise Fund, the net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization would be lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund. GSAM also reviewed the performance of the GST Fund and the AXA Enterprise Fund for various periods ended September 30, 2006 and noted that the performance of the GST Fund generally was more favorable or compared reasonably to that of the AXA Enterprise Fund, although there is no guarantee or assurance as to the future performance of the GST Fund.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed with the Board the distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements for the GST Fund, including the sales load structures for each class of Shares. GSAM noted that the sales load structures generally are similar, except that Class A Shares of the GST Fund are subject to a higher front-end sales load but a lower Rule 12b-1 fee than the AXA Enterprise Fund.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed with the Board the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement, noting that the Reorganization is expected to be tax-free to the AXA Enterprise Fund and its shareholders. They also noted that AXA and GSAM would bear the costs associated with the Reorganization, including the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the Reorganization and the explicit brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions incurred in connection with the Reorganization. They also noted that shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund would not pay any sales charges in connection with the Reorganization.
      AXA and GSAM also noted that the interests of the shareholders would not be diluted by the Reorganization because the Reorganization would be effected on the basis of each participating Fund’s net asset value.
      AXA and GSAM also reviewed information regarding potential benefits of the Reorganization to AXA and GSAM, respectively, including those under the purchase agreement between AXA and GSAM. They also noted that the Reorganization was part of a larger set of reorganizations involving the AXA Enterprise Fund, 14 funds of the Enterprise Trust and 12 funds of Multimanager Trust. AXA also noted that GSAM had agreed to use its

20


 

best efforts to assure compliance with the conditions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser or any affiliated persons thereof to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a sale of securities of, or any other interest in, such adviser which results in an assignment of an investment advisory contract with an investment company as long as two conditions are met. First, no “unfair burden” maybe imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. As defined in the 1940 Act, the term “unfair burden” includes any arrangement during the two-year period after which such transaction occurs whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser) or any interested person of any such adviser receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services), or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter of the investment company). The Enterprise Group Directors were advised that AXA and GSAM were not aware of any circumstances relating to the Reorganization that might result in the imposition of an “unfair burden” on the AXA Enterprise Fund. Second, during the three-year period immediately following the change of control, at least 75% of an investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons” of the investment adviser or the predecessor investment adviser within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The GST Board of Trustees currently satisfies and intends to continue to satisfy this condition.
      At the Enterprise Group Directors meeting held on December 29, 2006, the Enterprise Group Directors reviewed additional information regarding the proposed Reorganization. At that meeting, the Enterprise Group Directors determined that, based on the representations and information from AXA and GSAM, the Reorganization was in the best interest of the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund, and that the interests of the current shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Enterprise Group Directors also considered and unanimously approved the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement. The Board’s conclusion was based on a number of factors, including the following:
  The Reorganization will enable shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund to continue their investment in a GST Fund that has similar investment objectives, policies and risks as the AXA Enterprise Fund and which is part of a substantially larger, more diversified family of funds with increased potential for asset growth and the benefits of that growth resulting from economies of scale and greater portfolio diversification.
 
  GSAM has substantial experience, qualifications and capabilities in managing mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies as the AXA Enterprise Fund.
 
  The historical investment performance record of the GST Fund for the periods reviewed generally compared reasonably to that of the AXA Enterprise Fund, although there is no guarantee or assurance as to the future performance of the GST Fund.
 
  The net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the GST Fund after the Reorganization is expected to be lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the corresponding AXA Enterprise Fund.
 
  The distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements compare favorably to those of the AXA Enterprise Fund. In addition, as a result of the Reorganizations, each shareholder of the AXA Enterprise Fund would receive shares of a corresponding class of the corresponding GST Fund that has a similar sales charge and Rule 12b-1 fee structure. Although the Class A Shares of the GST Fund generally have a higher front-end sales load than Class A Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund, the ongoing Rule 12b-1 fee for Class A Shares of the GST Fund is lower than that of the AXA Enterprise Fund.
 
  As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of the AXA Enterprise Fund would hold, immediately after the Reorganization, shares of the corresponding class of the GST Fund having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of those AXA Enterprise Fund Shares held immediately before the Effective Time of the Reorganization.

21


 

  Goldman Sachs has substantial distribution capabilities for the GST Fund, which is reasonably likely to lead to future growth of the GST Fund.
 
  The Reorganization is expected to be tax-free for the AXA Enterprise Fund and its shareholders.
 
  The AXA Enterprise Fund would not bear any of the expenses of the proposed Reorganization.
      On the basis of the foregoing and other representations and information provided to it and its evaluation of those representations and information, the Enterprise Group Directors, including the Independent Enterprise Group Directors, voted unanimously to approve the Reorganization Agreement with respect to the AXA Enterprise Fund and to recommend that the shareholders also approve the Reorganization.
The Reorganization Agreement
      The following summary of the Reorganization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement attached to this Proxy/ Prospectus as Appendix A.
      The Reorganization Agreement provides that with respect to the AXA Enterprise Fund: (1) all of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s assets will be acquired, and all of its liabilities (other than those liabilities specifically excluded under the Reorganization Agreement) will be assumed, by the GST Fund in exchange for Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares (collectively, “GST Shares”), (2) such GST Shares will be distributed to the shareholders of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class Y Shares, respectively, of the AXA Enterprise Fund, and (3) the AXA Enterprise Fund will liquidate.
      Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described below, the Reorganization is scheduled to occur immediately before the opening of business on April 30, 2007 or on a later date as the Enterprise Group and GST may agree (the “Effective Time of the Reorganization”).
      Generally, with respect to the Reorganization, each shareholder of the AXA Enterprise Fund will receive the number of full and fractional (to the third decimal place) Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares or Institutional Shares of the GST Fund equal in value to the value of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares or Class Y Shares, respectively, of the AXA Enterprise Fund held as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the business day preceding the Effective Time of the Reorganization or other agreed upon time and date (the “Valuation Time”). Immediately upon receipt of GST Fund shares, the AXA Enterprise Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the Valuation Time in complete liquidation thereof the shares of the GST Fund received by the AXA Enterprise Fund in the Reorganization. The transactions described above are summarized in the following table.
     
AXA Enterprise Fund   GST Fund
     
AXA Enterprise Growth Fund
Class A Shares
Class B Shares
Class C Shares
Class Y Shares
  Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund†
   
Class A Shares
   Class B Shares
   Class C Shares
   Institutional Shares
 
It is also proposed that the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. A separate proxy statement/ prospectus is being mailed to shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders.
     Each such distribution by the AXA Enterprise Fund’s shares will be accomplished by the transfer of the GST Fund’s shares then credited to the account of the AXA Enterprise Fund on the GST Fund’s share records to open accounts on those share records in the names of the record shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund. The aggregate net asset values of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of the GST Fund to be credited to the accounts of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s shareholders will be equal to the aggregate net asset values of the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class Y Shares, respectively, of the AXA Enterprise Fund owned by such shareholders at the Valuation Time. All issued and outstanding shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund will simultaneously be canceled on its share records.

22


 

      Under the Reorganization Agreement, Enterprise Group and GST will not bear any fees, expenses or explicit brokerage commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement. All of the fees, expenses and explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out these transactions will be paid by ECM or GSAM (or any affiliate thereof).
      The Reorganization Agreement provides that the GST Fund will assume all obligations of the AXA Enterprise Fund to indemnify the Enterprise Group Independent Directors against all liabilities and expenses to the extent provided by Enterprise Group’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws.
      The Reorganization Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties made by Enterprise Group to GST related to, among other things, its legal status, compliance with laws and regulations and financial position (section 4.1) and similar representations and warranties made by GST to Enterprise Group (section 4.2). The Reorganization Agreement contains a number of conditions precedent that must occur before either Enterprise Group or GST is obligated to proceed with the Reorganization (Article VI). These include, among others, that: (1) the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement with respect thereto; (2) Enterprise Group receives from GST’s legal counsel, and GST receives from Enterprise Group’s legal counsel, certain opinions supporting the representations and warranties made by each party regarding legal status and compliance with laws and regulations (including an opinion from the GST’s counsel that the shares issued in the Reorganization will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable); (3) both Enterprise Group and GST receive from GST’s counsel the tax opinion discussed below under “Federal Income Tax Consequences;” and (4) both Enterprise Group and GST receive certain certificates from the other’s officers concerning the continuing accuracy of its representations and warranties made in the Reorganization Agreement.
      The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated and the Reorganization abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time of the Reorganization by: (1) the mutual written consent of Enterprise Group and GST; or (2) either Enterprise Group or GST (a) following any material breach by the other of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Reorganization Agreement, if such breach is not cured within 10 business days; (b) if any applicable condition precedent is not satisfied by December 31, 2007; (c) upon the occurrence of an event that has a material adverse effect upon the other or a Fund thereof; (d) if the Effective Time does not occur by December 31, 2007; or (e) following a determination by its Board that the consummation of the Reorganization is not in the best interest of its shareholders.
      Approval of the Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting. See the section of this Proxy/ Prospectus entitled “Voting Information” for more information.
      At the same time that shareholders are being asked to approve the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund into the GST Fund, it is expected that, subject to shareholder approval requested in separate proxy statements, fourteen additional portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust and twelve portfolios of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust will be reorganized into corresponding funds of GST. In this regard, it is proposed that in addition to the AXA Enterprise Fund, the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust will be reorganized into the GST Fund. The Reorganization will be completed whether or not the reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund Trust or AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust portfolios are completed.
      The Reorganization Agreement also provides that in order to facilitate the transfer of the assets of the AXA Enterprise Fund at the Effective Time of the Reorganization, GSAM may request that ECM use its commercially reasonable best efforts, subject to its fiduciary duty and that of the investment sub-adviser to the AXA Enterprise Fund, to limit or cease portfolio trading on behalf of the AXA Enterprise Fund for a period of up to three days prior to the Valuation Time of the Reorganization.
      Although the AXA Enterprise Fund has a similar investment objective and principal strategies to the GST Fund, some of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings may not be permissible portfolio holdings of the GST Fund. Therefore, some portion of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings may be sold prior to or immediately following the Reorganization. In addition, GSAM anticipates selling a portion of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s holdings shortly after the Reorganization. To the extent that the AXA Enterprise Fund’s securities holdings are

23


 

sold prior to the Reorganization, the proceeds of such sales will be held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that the GST Fund may hold. The possible need for a Fund to dispose of certain portfolio investments in connection with the Reorganization could result in selling such investments at a disadvantageous time and price. The sale of securities either prior to the Reorganization or shortly thereafter could result in the AXA Enterprise Fund or the GST Fund realizing gains (which may be taxable) or losses that would not otherwise have been realized but for the Reorganization. Such a sale of assets and the reinvestment of the proceeds would involve brokerage and other transactional costs. In that event, GSAM will pay the explicit brokerage commissions resulting from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of either Fund in connection with the Reorganization.
      If the Reorganization is approved, AXA Enterprise Fund shareholders who do not wish to have their AXA Enterprise Fund shares exchanged for shares of the GST Fund as part of the Reorganization should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them. In addition, if you redeem your shares prior to the Reorganization and your shares are subject to a CDSC, your redemption proceeds will be reduced by any applicable sales charge.
Description of the Securities to be Issued
      Shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization will receive full and/or fractional Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares of the GST Fund in accordance with the procedures provided for in the Reorganization Agreement, as described above. The GST Fund shares to be issued in connection with the Reorganization will be fully paid and non-assessable when issued, and will have no preemptive or conversion rights (except that Class B Shares of the GST Fund convert to Class A Shares of the same Fund approximately eight years after purchase). The rights of shareholders of Enterprise Group and GST are comparable. For more information, see “Comparison of Enterprise Group’s and GST’s Charter Documents” below and “Comparison of Shareholder Transactions and Services of the AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund” in Appendix D.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
      The exchange of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s assets for the GST Fund Shares and its assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of the AXA Enterprise Fund pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, Enterprise Group and GST will receive the opinion of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, counsel to GST, to the effect that on the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings and pronouncements and court decisions, and certain facts, qualifications, assumptions and representations, for federal income tax purposes:
(1) the Reorganization will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the GST Fund and AXA Enterprise Fund will be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;
 
(2) the AXA Enterprise Fund will recognize no gain or loss (a) upon the transfer of its assets to the GST Fund in exchange for GST Fund shares and the assumption of the liabilities of the AXA Enterprise Fund, and (b) upon the distribution of those shares to the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund;
 
(3) the GST Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon the receipt of the assets of the AXA Enterprise Fund in exchange for shares of such GST Fund and the assumption of the liabilities of the AXA Enterprise Fund;
 
(4) the tax basis in the hands of the GST Fund of each asset of the AXA Enterprise Fund transferred to such GST Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the basis of that asset in the hands of the AXA Enterprise Fund immediately before the transfer;
 
(5) the holding period of each asset of the AXA Enterprise Fund in the hands of the GST Fund will include the period during which that asset was held by the AXA Enterprise Fund;

24


 

(6) the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Fund will recognize no gain or loss upon their receipt of shares of the GST Fund;
 
(7) the aggregate tax basis of the GST Fund shares received by each shareholder of the AXA Enterprise Fund will equal the aggregate tax basis of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor;
 
(8) the holding period of the GST Fund shares received by the AXA Enterprise Fund shareholder will include the holding period of the AXA Enterprise Fund shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the AXA Enterprise Fund shares are held by that shareholder as capital assets on the date of the exchange; and
 
(9) the GST Fund will succeed to and take into account the tax attributes of the AXA Enterprise Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
      Shares held for the purpose of investment are generally considered to be capital assets.
      Neither Enterprise Group nor GST has sought a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS nor does it preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary position.
      At or before the Valuation Time, the AXA Enterprise Fund will pay a dividend that, together with all previous dividends, will have the effect of distributing to its shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) (and net tax-exempt income, if any) for all taxable periods or years ending at or before the Effective Time of the Reorganization and all of its net capital gain, if any, after reduction for any capital loss carry forwards recognized in those periods or years. Any such dividends will generally be included in the taxable income of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s shareholders. The sale of securities by the AXA Enterprise Fund prior to the Reorganization, whether in the ordinary course of business or in anticipation of the Reorganization, could increase the amount of the final distribution made by the AXA Enterprise Fund prior to the Reorganization.
      As a result of the Reorganization, the GST Fund will succeed to the tax attributes of the AXA Enterprise Fund, except that the amount of capital loss carryforwards of the AXA Enterprise Fund that the GST Fund may use to offset capital gains it recognizes after its Reorganization will be subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. In general, the limitation for each taxable year will equal the sum of (1) the product of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization (the “AXA Enterprise Fund’s NAV”) multiplied by the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (which is a market-based rate published by the IRS each month) for the month in which the Effective Time occurs plus (2) the amount of any net unrealized built-in gain of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of the Effective Time of the Reorganization that the GST Fund recognizes in any taxable year all or part of which is in the period through the fifth anniversary of the Reorganization (as long as the amount of net unrealized built-in gain is greater than the lesser of (i) 15% of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s NAV or (ii) $10,000,000). The annual limitation will be proportionately reduced for the portion of the GST Fund’s current taxable year after the Effective Time of the Reorganization and for any subsequent short taxable year.
      The GST Fund anticipates selling portions of the portfolio holdings received from AXA Enterprise Fund after the Reorganization. The sale of these securities after the Reorganization will result in the GST Fund recognizing gains and/or losses that it would not otherwise have realized were it not for the Reorganization. If the net effect of these additional gains and/or losses is an increase in the GST Fund’s net short-term or long-term capital gain for the current calendar year and/or fiscal year, the amount of its taxable distributions to shareholders may likely be increased.
      Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers concerning the potential tax consequences of each Reorganization to them, including foreign, state and local tax consequences.

Comparison of Enterprise Group’s and GST’s Charter Documents
      Enterprise Group is organized as a Maryland corporation. GST is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The operations of Enterprise Group are governed by Enterprise Group’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Enterprise Group Charter”), By-laws and applicable Maryland law. The operations of GST are governed by GST’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “GST Charter”), By-laws and applicable Delaware law. The operations of both Enterprise Group and GST are also subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and applicable state securities laws. The provisions of the Enterprise Group charter differ in some respects from GST’s Charter. The following is only a summary of certain of the differences between Enterprise Group and the Enterprise Group Charter, on the one hand, and GST and the GST Charter, on the other. It is not a complete list of differences.
      Directors of Enterprise Group and Trustees of GST
      Subject to the provisions of the GST Charter, the operations of the GST Funds are supervised by GST’s Board of Trustees and, subject to the provisions of the Enterprise Group Charter, the operations of Enterprise Group are supervised by Enterprise Group’s Board of Directors. The responsibilities, powers and fiduciary duties of the GST Trustees are similar to those of the Enterprise Group Directors. The GST Charter permits GST’s Board of Trustees to remove a Trustee with or without cause at any time by a written instrument signed by at least a majority of the then Trustees specifying the effective date of removal or by the vote of holders of shares of beneficial interest of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of GST at a meeting of the shareholders. In addition, in accordance with the current resolutions of the GST board of Trustees, which may be changed by the GST Trustees without shareholder vote, each GST Trustee may serve as a trustee until the date the GST Trustee attains the age of 72 years.
      Shareholders of the Enterprise Group may remove an Enterprise Group Director with or without cause at any time by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally for the election of directors. A special meeting of the shareholders will be called by the Enterprise Group’s Secretary upon the written request of the holder or holders of at least 25 percent of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. The Enterprise Group Charter provides that commencing with any election of Directors held after January 1, 2005, no Director shall be elected a Director of Enterprise Group after attaining the age of 72.
      The GST Charter permits the GST Trustees to amend the GST Charter without a shareholder vote. However, shareholders of GST have the right to vote on any amendment: (1) that would adversely affect the voting rights of shareholders; (2) that is required by law to be approved by shareholders; (3) that would amend the provisions of the GST Charter regarding amendments thereto; or (4) that the GST Trustees determine to submit to shareholders.
      Except in limited circumstances specified by Maryland law, the Enterprise Group Directors may not amend the Enterprise Group Charter without a shareholder vote.
      Liability and Indemnification of Enterprise Group and GST Trustees
      To protect the GST Trustees against certain liabilities, the GST Charter provides that if the GST Trustees have exercised reasonable care and have acted under reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interests of GST, the GST Trustees shall not be responsible or liable for any action or omission or for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee, investment adviser or independent contractor of GST; however, nothing in the GST Charter protects a GST Trustee against any liability to GST or its shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
      In addition, the GST Charter provides for indemnification of Trustees, officers, employees and agents of GST unless the recipient is adjudicated: (1) to be liable by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office; or (2) not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such person’s actions were in the best interest of GST.

26


 

      Enterprise Group’s Charter and By-laws provide that each director and officer of Enterprise Group shall be indemnified by Enterprise Group to the full extent permitted under the Maryland General Corporate Law, except that such indemnity shall not protect any such person against any liability for Disabling Conduct. Disabling Conduct includes (a) liability in connection with any proceeding in which it is determined that (i) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding, and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or (ii) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful, and (b) acts or omissions which would subject the officer or director to liability to Enterprise Group or any security holders arising from the officer’s or director’s willful malfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.
      Mutual fund and trustees/directors and officers liability policies insure GST and its Trustees and Enterprise Group and its Directors, subject to the policies’ coverage limits and exclusions and varying deductibles, against loss resulting from claims by reason of any act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty.
      Shareholder Liability
      Under Delaware law, shareholders generally are not personally liable for the obligations of a Delaware statutory trust. A shareholder is entitled to the same limitation of liability extended to stockholders of private, for-profit corporations. Similar statutory or other authority, however, limiting shareholder liability does not exist in certain states. As a result, to the extent that GST or a shareholder is subject to the jurisdiction of courts in those states, the courts may not apply Delaware law, thereby subjecting the shareholder to liability. To guard against this risk, the GST Charter: (1) contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of each GST Fund; and (2) provides for indemnification out of such GST Fund’s property, as applicable, for any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the GST Fund. In addition, notice of disclaimer of shareholder liability will normally be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by a GST Fund and/or GST. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment because of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which (1) a court refuses to apply Delaware law; (2) no contractual limitation of liability is in effect; and (3) the applicable GST Fund is unable to meet its obligations to indemnify a shareholder. In light of Delaware law, the nature of the GST Funds’ business and the nature of their assets, GST’s Board of Trustees believes that the risk of personal liability to a shareholder is extremely remote.
      Under Maryland Law, a shareholder of a Maryland corporation who has fully paid the subscription price for the shareholder’s shares generally has no personal liability in excess of the value of the shareholder’s shares.
      Voting Rights of Shareholders of Enterprise Group and GST
      GST is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders and does not intend to hold such meetings. In the event that a meeting of shareholders is held, each share of GST will be entitled, as determined by the GST Trustees without the vote or consent of shareholders, either to one vote for each share or to one vote for each dollar of net asset value represented by such shares on all matters presented to shareholders including the election of Trustees (this method of voting being referred to as “dollar based voting”). However, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or otherwise determined by the GST Trustees, series and classes of GST will vote separately from each other. Shareholders of GST do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of Trustees. Meetings of shareholders of GST, or any, series or, class thereof, may be called by the GST Trustees, certain officers or upon the written request of holders of 10% or more of the shares entitled to vote at such meetings. The GST Trustees will call a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees if, at any time, less than a majority of Trustees holding office at the time were elected by shareholders. The GST Charter provides that the shareholders have the power to, vote only with respect to: (1) the election of Trustees to the extent and as provided therein; (2) the removal of Trustees as provided therein; (3) any matter required to be approved by the shareholders under the 1940 Act; (4) the termination of GST under certain circumstances as provided therein; (5) certain amendments of the GST Charter; and (6) with respect to such additional matters relating to GST as

27


 

may be required or authorized by law, the GST Charter or the GST By-laws or any registration of GST with the SEC or any state, or as the GST Trustees may consider desirable.
      Enterprise Group is required to hold annual meetings of shareholders provided that Enterprise Group is not required to hold an annual meeting in any year in which none of the following is required to be acted on by shareholders under the 1940 Act: (1) election of directors, (2) approval of the investment advisory agreement, (3) ratification of the selection of independent public accountants, and (4) approval of a distribution agreement. If any such matter does require action by shareholders under the 1940 Act, such action may be taken or called to be taken at a special or annual meeting of shareholders. In the event that a meeting of shareholders is held, each whole share is entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional share is entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. On any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders, all shares of Enterprise Group then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote must be voted in the aggregate and not by series or class except that: (1) when otherwise expressly required by the Maryland General Corporation Law or the 1940 Act, shares will be voted by individual series or class; (2) only shares of a series or class are entitled to vote on matters concerning only that series or class; and (3) on matters relating to all series or classes, but affecting the series or classes differently, separate votes by such series or classes are required. Shareholders of Enterprise Group do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of Directors. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, or the President, and shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request of the holder or holders of at least 25% of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.
      Termination of Enterprise Group/ GST and its Series or Classes
      The GST Charter permits the termination of GST or any series or class of GST: (1) by a majority of the affected shareholders at a meeting of shareholders of GST, series or class; or (2) by a majority of the GST Trustees without shareholder approval if the GST Trustees determine, in their sole discretion, that such action is in the best interest of GST, such series, such class or their shareholders.
      Under Maryland law, the Enterprise Group Directors may dissolve Enterprise Group or any series upon the approval by a vote of the majority of the directors and upon the approval by a vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

      The financial highlights table for the AXA Enterprise Fund appears in the Fund’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Materials Incorporated By Reference
      Information about the AXA Enterprise Fund is included in the Prospectus (as supplemented) for Enterprise Group dated March 1, 2006 and the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
      Information about the GST Fund is included in the Prospectus (as supplemented) dated December 29, 2006 for the GST Fund, a copy of which accompanies this Proxy/Prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference.
VOTING INFORMATION
General Information
      The Enterprise Group Directors are furnishing this Proxy/Prospectus in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. Officers and service contractors of Enterprise Group and GST may also solicit proxies by telephone or otherwise. In this connection, Enterprise Group may retain                     to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Any expenses incurred as a result of hiring                      will not be borne by Enterprise Group or AXA Enterprise Fund but by ECM or GSAM (or any affiliate thereof). It is estimated that the cost associated with using                      as a proxy solicitor will be approximately $          . Shareholders may vote: (1) by mail, by marking, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy ballot(s) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, (2) by touch-tone voting, or (3) by on-line voting. Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by submitting to Enterprise Group a written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person.
      Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. On that date, the following AXA Enterprise Fund Shares were outstanding and entitled to be voted:
         
    Shares Outstanding and
Enterprise Group   Entitled to Vote
     
AXA Enterprise Fund
       
      Each whole and fractional share of the AXA Enterprise Fund is entitled to a whole or fractional vote, as the case may be.
      The votes of the shareholders of the GST Fund are not being solicited since their approval or consent is not necessary for the Reorganization to take place.
      If an accompanying proxy is executed and returned in time for the Special Meeting, the shares covered thereby will be voted in accordance with the proxy on all matters that may properly come before the Special Meeting.
Shareholder and Board Approvals
      The Reorganization Agreement is being submitted for approval by AXA Enterprise Fund’s shareholders at the Special Meeting pursuant to Enterprise Group’s Charter and By-Laws, and was unanimously approved by the Enterprise Group Directors at a meeting held on December 29, 2006. A majority of shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting. A vote for the Reorganization Agreement includes a vote for the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund; conversely, a vote against the Reorganization Agreement is a vote against the Reorganization of the AXA Enterprise Fund.

34


 

Quorum and Adjournment
      In the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, one or more adjournment(s) may be proposed to permit further solicitation of proxies. In determining whether to adjourn the Special Meeting with respect to a proposal, the following factors may be considered: the percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative votes cast, the nature of any further solicitation and the information to be provided to owners with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Generally, votes cast in favor of a proposal will be voted in favor of adjournment while votes cast against a proposal will be voted against adjournment.
      Any adjourned session or sessions may be held within 120 days after the original record date without notice except announcement at the Special Meeting. Any such adjournment(s) will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares affected by the adjournment(s) that are cast at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote.
      A quorum is constituted with respect to the AXA Enterprise Fund by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Special Meeting, abstentions will be treated as shares that are present at the Special Meeting but which have not been voted. Abstentions will have the effect of a “no” vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approvals of the Reorganization Agreement. Broker “non-votes” (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will have the same effect as abstentions.
Principal Shareholders
      As of February 12, 2007, the officers of Enterprise Group and Enterprise Group Directors as a group owned or controlled less than 1% of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s outstanding shares. As of February 12, 2007, the officers and Trustees of the GST Fund as a group owned or controlled less than 1% of the GST Fund’s outstanding shares. The following table sets forth the name, address and share ownership of each person known to Enterprise Group to have ownership with respect to 5% or more of a class of the AXA Enterprise Fund as of February 12, 2007. The type of ownership of each entry listed on the table is record ownership. The percentage of the GST Fund that would be owned by the below named shareholders upon consummation of the Reorganization is expected to decline.

      For purposes of the 1940 Act, any person who owns directly or through one or more controlled companies more than 25% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to “control” such company. Accordingly, to the extent that a shareholder identified in the foregoing table is identified as the beneficial holder of more than 25% of a class, or is identified as the holder of record of more than 25% of a class and has voting and/or investment power, it may be presumed to control such class.
      Enterprise Group and GST have been advised by AXA Equitable that the Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund over which AXA Equitable and its affiliates have voting power will be voted by AXA Equitable either for or against approval of the Reorganization Agreement, or as an abstention, in the same proportion as the Shares held by other shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting are voted.

Legal Proceedings
      On April 2, 2004, Lois Burke, a plaintiff identifying herself as a shareholder of the Goldman Sachs Internet Tollkeeper Fund, filed a purported class and derivative action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Goldman Sachs, GSAM, the Trustees and Officers of GST, and John Doe Defendants. In addition, certain other investment portfolios of GST were named as nominal defendants. On April 19 and May 6, 2004, additional class and derivative action lawsuits containing substantially similar allegations and requests for redress were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 29, 2004, the three complaints were consolidated into one action, In re Goldman Sachs Mutual Funds Fee Litigation, and on November 17, 2004, the plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaint against Goldman Sachs, GSAM, Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), the Trustees and Officers or GST and Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (“GSVIT”) and John Doe Defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Certain investment portfolios of GST and GSVIT (collectively, the “Goldman Sachs Funds”) were named as nominal defendants in the amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on April 15, 2005.
      The second amended consolidated complaint, which is brought on behalf of all persons or entities who held shares in the Goldman Sachs Funds between April 2, 1999 and January 9, 2004, inclusive (the “Class Period”), asserts claims involving (i) violations of the Investment Company and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, (ii) common law breach of fiduciary duty, and (iii) unjust enrichment. The complaint alleges, among other things, that during the Class Period, the Defendants made improper and excessive brokerage commission and other payments to brokers that sold shares of the Goldman Sachs Funds and omitted statements of fact in registration statements and reports filed pursuant to the 1940 Act which were necessary to prevent such registration statements and reports from being materially false and misleading. In addition, the complaint alleges that the Goldman Sachs Funds paid excessive and improper investment advisory fees to GSAM and GSAMI. The

36


 

complaint also alleges that GSAM and GSAMI used Rule 12b-1 fees for improper purposes and made improper use of soft dollars. The complaint further alleges that GST’s Officers and Trustees breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the foregoing. The plaintiffs in the cases are seeking compensatory damages; rescission of GSAM’s and GSAMI’s investment advisory agreements and return of fees paid; an accounting of all Goldman Sachs Funds-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. On January 13, 2006, all claims against the Defendants were dismissed by the U.S. District Court. On February 22, 2006, the plaintiffs appealed this decision. By agreement, plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their appeal without prejudice but reserved their rights to reactivate their appeal pending a decision by the Circuit Court of Appeals in similar litigation.
      Based on currently available information, GSAM and GSAMI believe that the likelihood that the pending purported class and derivative action lawsuit will have a material adverse financial impact on the Goldman Sachs Funds is remote, and the pending action is not likely to materially affect their ability to provide investment management services to their clients, including the Goldman Sachs Funds.

A-1


 

sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties, and ECM, AXA and GSAM to the extent indicated above, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE REORGANIZATION AND FUND TRANSACTION
      1.1 The Reorganization and Fund Transaction. In accordance with Title 12 of the Delaware Code (the “Delaware Law”), Title 3 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland (the “Maryland Law”) and the Articles of Incorporation and by-laws, as they may be amended from time to time, of Enterprise Group (“Enterprise Group Governing Documents”), at the Effective Time (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, Enterprise Group shall assign, deliver and otherwise transfer all of the Fund Assets of the Enterprise Group Fund, subject to all of the Liabilities of the Enterprise Group Fund, to GST on behalf of the GST Fund, and GST shall assume all of the Liabilities of the Enterprise Group Fund on behalf of the GST Fund. In consideration of the foregoing, GST shall, on behalf of the GST Fund, at the Effective Time deliver to Enterprise Group on behalf of the Enterprise Group Fund, full and fractional (to the third decimal place) Institutional shares, Class A shares, Class B shares, and Class C shares of the GST Fund. The number of shares of each such class of the GST Fund shall be determined as set forth in paragraph 2.3 by dividing (a) the value of the Fund Assets attributable to the class of the Enterprise Group Fund net of the Enterprise Group Fund’s Known Liabilities attributable to such class (computed as of the Valuation Time (as defined below) in the manner set forth in paragraph 2.1), by (b) the net asset value of one share of such class of the GST Fund (computed as of the Valuation Time in the manner set forth in paragraph 2.2). (The transaction between the Enterprise Group Fund and the GST Fund is hereinafter referred to as the “Fund Transaction”). At and after the Effective Time, all of the Fund Assets of the Enterprise Group Fund shall become and be included in the Fund Assets of the GST Fund and the Liabilities of the Enterprise Group Fund shall become and be the Liabilities of and shall attach to the GST Fund. At and after the Effective Time, the Liabilities of the Enterprise Group Fund may be enforced only against the GST Fund to the same extent as if the Liabilities had been incurred by the GST Fund subject to any defense and/or set off that Enterprise Group or the Enterprise Group Fund was entitled to assert immediately prior to the Effective Time and further subject to any defense and/or setoff that GST or the GST Fund may from time to time be entitled to assert.
      1.2 Enterprise Group Fund Assets.
           (a) At least fifteen Business Days prior to the Valuation Time, Enterprise Group will provide GST with a schedule of the securities and other assets and Known Liabilities of the Enterprise Group Fund. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, GST has provided Enterprise Group with a copy of the current investment objective, investment policies, principal investment strategies, and restrictions applicable to the GST Fund (including restrictions applicable to GSAM arising as a result of the investment activities of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its Affiliates for proprietary accounts and other clients) and GST will provide Enterprise Group with a written notice of any changes thereto until the Valuation Time. Enterprise Group reserves the right to sell any of the securities or other assets shown on the list for the Enterprise Group Fund prior to the Valuation Time but will not, without the prior approval of GST, acquire any additional securities other than securities which the GST Fund may purchase in accordance with its stated investment objective and policies.
           (b) At least ten Business Days prior to the Valuation Time, GST will advise Enterprise Group of any investments of the Enterprise Group Fund shown on the Enterprise Group Fund’s schedule provided pursuant to paragraph (a) which the Enterprise Group Fund would not be permitted to hold (i) under its investment objective, principal investment strategies or investment restrictions; (ii) under applicable Law; or (iii) because the transfer of such investments would result in material operational or administrative difficulties to GST in connection with facilitating the orderly transition of the Enterprise Group Fund’s Fund Assets. Under such circumstances, to the extent practicable, Enterprise Group will, if requested by GST and, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies and the fiduciary duties of the investment sub-adviser responsible for the portfolio management of the Enterprise Group Fund, dispose of such investments prior to the Valuation Time. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of the Enterprise Group Fund and GST Fund, when aggregated,

A-2


 

would contain investments exceeding certain percentage limitations to which a GST Fund is or will be subject with respect to such investments, Enterprise Group will, if requested by GST and, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies and the fiduciary duties of ECM or the investment sub-adviser responsible for the portfolio management of the Enterprise Group Fund, dispose of and/or reinvest a sufficient amount of the investments as may be necessary to avoid violating such limitations as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will require the Enterprise Group Fund to dispose of any portfolio securities or other investments, if, in the reasonable judgment of the Enterprise Group Fund Board or Enterprise Group’s investment adviser, such disposition would adversely affect the tax-free nature of the Reorganization for federal income tax purposes or would otherwise not be in the best interests of the Enterprise Group Fund.
      1.3 Assumption of Liabilities. Enterprise Group will, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies, use its best efforts to discharge all of the Known Liabilities of the Enterprise Group Fund prior to or at the Effective Time. GST, on behalf of the GST Fund, will assume all of the Liabilities of the Enterprise Group Fund. If prior to the Effective Time either Party identifies a Liability that the Parties mutually agree should not be assumed by GST, such Liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Parties at the Closing (the “Excluded Liabilities”). Certain Liabilities that would otherwise be listed as Excluded Liabilities may be assumed by GST on the condition that GST and the GST Fund be indemnified in writing to their reasonable satisfaction by ECM or AXA against any and all losses, claims, damages or liability that GST and the GST Fund may become subject to as a result of assuming such Liability. GST shall not assume any Liability for any obligation of Enterprise Group to file reports with the SEC, Internal Revenue Service or other regulatory or tax authority covering any reporting period ending prior to or at the Effective Time with respect to Enterprise Group or the Enterprise Group Fund.
      1.4 Distribution of GST Shares. Immediately upon receipt, Enterprise Group, on behalf of the Enterprise Group Fund, will distribute the Institutional shares, Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares of the GST Fund received by Enterprise Group from GST pursuant to paragraph 1.1 (the “GST Shares”), pro rata to the record holders of the Class Y shares, Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, respectively, of the Enterprise Group Fund determined as of the Valuation Time in complete liquidation of the Enterprise Group Fund. The distribution will be accomplished by an instruction, signed by an appropriate officer of Enterprise Group, to transfer the GST Shares then credited to the Enterprise Group Fund’s account on the Books and Records of GST and to open accounts on the Books and Records of GST established and maintained by GST’s transfer agent in the names of record holders of each class of shares of the Enterprise Group Fund and representing the respective pro rata number of each class of such GST Shares due to such record holder. All issued and outstanding Enterprise Group shares will be cancelled promptly by Enterprise Group on Enterprise Group’s Books and Records. Any such shares issued and outstanding prior to such cancellation shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the GST Shares issued to the Enterprise Group Fund in accordance with paragraph 1.1 above. In addition, each record holder of the Enterprise Group Fund shall have the right to receive any unpaid dividends or other distributions which were declared with respect to his/her or its shares of the Enterprise Group Fund at or before the Valuation Time.
      1.5 Liquidation of Enterprise Group Fund. As soon as conveniently practicable after the distribution of GST Shares pursuant to paragraph 1.4 has been made, Enterprise Group shall take, in accordance with Maryland Law, the 1940 Act and the Enterprise Group Governing Documents, all steps as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a complete liquidation and termination of the Enterprise Group Fund.
      1.6 Transfer Taxes. Any transfer taxes payable on issuance of GST Shares in a name other than that of the record holder of Enterprise Group shares on Enterprise Group’s Books and Records shall be paid by the Person to whom such GST Shares are issued and transferred, as a condition of that transfer.

VALUATION
      2.1 Net Asset Value of the Enterprise Group Fund. The net asset value of a share of each class of the Enterprise Group Fund shall be the net asset value computed as of the Valuation Time, after the declaration and payment of any dividends and/or other distributions on the date thereof, using the valuation procedures described in the then-current prospectus and statement of additional information of the GST Fund as supplemented from time to time.
      2.2 Net Asset Value of the GST Funds.

      2.3 Calculation of Number of GST Shares. (a) The number of GST Fund Institutional shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with a Fund Transaction shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Enterprise Group Fund participating therein attributable to Class Y shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per Institutional share of the GST Fund determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (b) The number of GST Fund Class A shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with a Fund Transaction shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Enterprise Group Fund participating therein attributable to Class A shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per Class A share of the GST Fund determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (c) The number of GST Fund Class B shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with a Fund Transaction shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Enterprise Group Fund participating therein attributable to Class B shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per Class B share of the GST Fund determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
           (d) The number of GST Fund Class C shares to be issued (including fractional shares (to the third decimal place), if any) in connection with a Fund Transaction shall be determined by dividing the value of the net assets of the Enterprise Group Fund participating therein attributable to Class C shares, determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.1, by the net asset value per Class C share of the GST Fund determined in accordance with the valuation procedures referred to in paragraph 2.2.
      2.4 Joint Direction of Calculation. All computations of net asset value and the value of securities transferred under this Article II shall be made by State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JP Morgan”) under the joint direction of the following entities, in accordance with their regular practice and the requirements of the 1940 Act: (a) ECM, the investment adviser to the Enterprise Group Fund; and (b) GSAM, the investment adviser to the GST Fund. Enterprise Group and GST agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve prior to the Valuation Time any material pricing differences between the prices of portfolio securities determined in accordance with the pricing policies and procedures of the Enterprise Group Fund and those determined in accordance with the pricing policies and procedures of the GST Fund.
      2.5 Valuation Time. The valuation time shall be the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the Business Day preceding the Effective Time, or such earlier or later date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each of the Parties (the “Valuation Time”).

ARTICLE III
EFFECTIVE TIME AND CLOSING
      3.1 Effective Time and Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Fund Transaction shall occur immediately prior to the opening of business on April 30, 2007, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party (the “Effective Time”). To the extent any Fund Assets are, for any reason, not transferred at the Effective Time, Enterprise Group shall cause the Fund Assets to be transferred in accordance with this Agreement at the earliest practical date thereafter. The closing of the Fund Transaction will take place at the offices of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, One Logan Square, 18th and Cherry Streets, Philadelphia, PA 19103, or at such other place as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party, at the Effective Time (the “Closing”).
      3.2 Transfer and Delivery of Fund Assets. Enterprise Group shall direct JP Morgan, as custodian for Enterprise Group, to deliver to GST at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer certifying that: (a) JP Morgan delivered the Fund Assets of the Enterprise Group Fund to the GST Fund at the Effective Time; and (b) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of such Fund Assets, including all applicable foreign, federal and state stock transfer stamps and any other stamp duty taxes, if any, have been paid or provision (as reasonably estimated) for payment has been made. At least three Business Days prior to the Effective Time, JP Morgan shall present for examination those Fund Assets represented by certificate or other written instrument to those Persons who have primary responsibility for the safekeeping of the assets of the GST Fund at State Street, as custodian of GST on behalf of the GST Fund with the principal place of business at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. At the Effective Time, Enterprise Group shall endorse and deliver, or transfer by appropriate transfer or assignment documents, such certificates and other written instruments as of the Effective Time for the account of the appropriate GST Fund in proper form for transfer and in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof in accordance with the customs of brokers. JP Morgan shall deliver other Fund Assets to those Persons who have primary responsibility for the safekeeping of the GST Fund at State Street as of the Effective Time by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of JP Morgan and of each securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 and Rule 17f-7 under the 1940 Act) in which the Fund Assets are held. Any cash to be transferred by the Enterprise Group Fund to the GST Fund shall be delivered by wire transfer of federal funds at the Effective Time pursuant to instructions provided by GST.

      3.4 Postponement of Valuation Time and Effective Time. If immediately prior to the Valuation Time: (a) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the GST Fund or the Enterprise Group Fund is closed to trading, or trading thereupon is restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such market is disrupted so that, in the judgment of an appropriate officer of Enterprise Group or GST, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the GST Fund or Enterprise Group Fund is impracticable, the Valuation Time for the Fund Transaction shall be postponed until the first Business Day that is a Friday (or a Thursday if that Friday is not a Business Day) after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored, and the Effective Time shall be postponed until the first Business Day after such Valuation Time, or such later dates as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
      4.1 Representations and Warranties of Enterprise Group. Enterprise Group, on behalf of the Enterprise Group Fund, hereby represents and warrants to GST, on behalf of the GST Fund, as follows, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct on the date hereof:
           (a) Enterprise Group is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Maryland and is duly qualified, licensed or admitted to do business and is in good standing as a foreign association under the Laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification, licensing or admission necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or admitted and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on its properties or assets or the properties or assets of the Enterprise Group Fund. Enterprise Group has full power under the Enterprise Group Governing Documents to conduct its business as it is now being conducted and to own the properties and assets it now owns for itself and on behalf of the Enterprise Group Fund. Enterprise Group has all necessary authorizations, licenses and approvals from any applicable Governmental or Regulatory Body necessary to carry on its business as such business is now being carried on except authorizations, licenses and approvals that the failure to so obtain would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Enterprise Group.
           (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Enterprise Group on behalf of the Enterprise Group Fund and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein have been duly and validly authorized by the Enterprise Group Board, and the Enterprise Group Board has approved the Fund Transaction and has resolved to recommend the Fund Transaction to the shareholders of the Enterprise Group Fund and to call a special meeting of shareholders of the Enterprise Group Fund for the purpose of approving this Agreement and the Fund Transaction contemplated thereby for the Enterprise Group Fund. Other than the approval by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the outstanding shares of the Enterprise Group Fund in accordance with the provisions of the Enterprise Group Governing Documents, applicable Maryland Law and the 1940 Act, no other action on the part of Enterprise Group or its shareholders, or the shareholders of the Enterprise Group Fund, is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Enterprise Group on behalf of the Enterprise Group Fund or the consummation of the Enterprise Group Fund Transaction contemplated herein. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Enterprise Group on behalf of the Enterprise Group Fund, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by GST, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Enterprise Group, as it relates to the Enterprise Group Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, to general equity principles and to any limitations on indemnity as may be required under federal and state securities Laws).
           (c) The authorized capital of Enterprise Group consists of fourteen billion, five hundred million shares of common stock with a par value of one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share of which five hundred million is designated as common stock of the Enterprise Group Fund and is further divided into four classes of two hundred million Class A common stock, one hundred million Class B common stock, one hundred million Class C common stock and one hundred million Class Y common stock each.

Except as provided in paragraph 6.3(a), a Party may waive any condition to its obligations hereunder (such waiver to be in writing and authorized by an authorized officer of the waiving Party).

      10.10 Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to create rights in Persons not Parties (including, without limitation, any shareholder of GST or Enterprise Group) except that the Enterprise Group Independent Directors are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of paragraph 1.3 herein.
      10.11 Failure of Any Fund(s) to Consummate the Transactions.
           (a) In the event that the Enterprise Group Fund fails to obtain the required shareholder vote for approval of this Agreement with respect to the Fund Transaction in which it is participating at or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall continue the solicitation of the shareholders of the Enterprise Group Fund. If approval of this Agreement is denied by the shareholders of the Enterprise Group Fund, the Enterprise Group Fund shall resolicit shareholders and make such new or amended filings as are required or desirable to obtain shareholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required shareholder vote for approval of this Agreement with respect to the Fund Transaction has not been obtained on or before the nine-month anniversary of the originally scheduled Effective Time (and before the date specified in paragraph 8.2(e)), then the Parties, ECM, AXA and GSAM shall take such actions as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
           (b) No Fund Transaction involving the Enterprise Group Fund shall be consummated until shareholders of certain portfolios of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (“Multimanager Trust”) or the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (“Enterprise Trust”) approve related agreements and plans of reorganization such that the Enterprise Group Fund and the portfolios of the Multimanager Trust and Enterprise Trust whose shareholders provided approval have combined total assets under management of at least $1,000,000,000. If shareholder approval of this Agreement with respect to the Fund Transaction has not been received on or before the Effective Time and the Closing, then, if such approvals are ultimately received, a subsequent Closing shall occur, at such time and place and on such date (and with such Effective Time) as is mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party. It is agreed that such subsequent Closing shall not be set in a piecemeal fashion and that no subsequent Fund Transaction involving the Enterprise Group Fund shall be consummated until shareholders of the Multimanager Trust or Enterprise Trust with combined total assets under management of at least $500,000,000 approve their respective agreements with respect to their respective reorganizations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Fund Transaction involving the Enterprise Group Fund along with portfolios of Multimanager Trust or Enterprise Trust will be consummated with a lesser amount of combined total assets under management if no other reorganizations are reasonably believed by ECM or AXA to occur by December 31, 2007 or if it is mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each Party.
      10.12 Validity. Whenever possible, each provision and term of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner to be effective and valid, but if any provision or term of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by Law or invalid, then such provision or term shall be ineffective only in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions so holding and only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this Agreement.
      10.13 Effect of Facsimile Signature. A facsimile signature of an authorized officer of a Party hereto on any Transfer Document shall have the same effect as if executed in the original by such officer.
      10.14 GST Liability. The name “Goldman Sachs Trust” is the designation of the trustees for the time being under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated January 28, 1997, as amended from time to time, and all Persons dealing with GST or a GST Fund must look solely to the property of GST or the GST Fund for the enforcement of any claims as none of its trustees, officers, agents or shareholders assume any personal liability

A-24


 

for obligations entered into on behalf of GST. No GST Fund shall be liable for any claims against any other GST Fund. Both Parties along with GSAM, ECM and AXA specifically acknowledge and agree that any liability of GST under this Agreement with respect to the GST Fund, or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein with respect to the GST Fund, shall be discharged only out of the assets of the GST Fund and that no other portfolio of GST shall be liable with respect thereto.

APPENDIX C
Comparison of the Investment Restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund
      This section briefly compares and contrasts certain fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions of the AXA Enterprise Fund with those of the GST Fund. More complete information may be found in the respective statements of additional information for the AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund.
      Unless otherwise indicated, the restrictions discussed below are fundamental policies of the AXA Enterprise Fund and GST Fund. This means that they cannot be changed without approval of shareholders. Investment restrictions that are non-fundamental may be changed for the AXA Enterprise Fund by the Board of Directors of the Enterprise Group and for the GST Fund by the Board of Trustees of GST.
      Maintenance of Status as a “Diversified Company.” Both Funds are “diversified companies” as defined by the 1940 Act. A “diversified company” is one that, with respect to at least 75% of the value of its total assets, is invested in cash, cash items, government securities and other securities. Investments in other securities are limited as to any one issuer to (1) an amount no greater than 5% of the value of the total assets of the fund and (2) not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer.
      Issuance of Senior Securities. The AXA Enterprise Fund is restricted from issuing senior securities or pledging its assets, except as permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time and exemptive orders, SEC releases, no action letters or similar relief or interpretations (collectively, “1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions”). For purposes of the foregoing restriction, the purchase or sale of securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, short sales, derivative and hedging transactions such as interest rate swap transactions, and collateral arrangements with respect thereto, and obligations of the AXA Enterprise Fund to directors pursuant to deferred compensation arrangements are not deemed to be a pledge of assets or the issuance of a senior security. The GST Fund is prohibited from issuing senior securities to the extent such issuance would violate applicable law.
      Borrowings. The AXA Enterprise Fund may not borrow money or pledge its assets, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. The GST Fund may not borrow money, except that the GST Fund may (1) borrow from banks or through reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to 331/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), (2) to the extent permitted by applicable law, borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes, (3) obtain short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities, and (4) engage in transactions in mortgage dollar rolls which are accounted for as financings. In addition, the GST Fund has a non-fundamental policy that restricts it from purchasing additional securities if borrowings (excluding covered mortgage dollar rolls) exceed 5% of its net assets.
      Securities Underwriting. Both Funds may not underwrite securities issued by others except to the extent that the sale of portfolio securities may be deemed to be an underwriting.
      Concentration in Industries. Both Funds are restricted from concentrating their investments in any particular industry. The AXA Enterprise Fund may invest up to 25% of the value of its total assets in securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry, except for defensive purposes. The GST Fund may not invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry. For both Funds, securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities are excluded from this restriction.
      Purchases of Real Estate.  Both the AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund generally may not buy or sell real estate. However, for the AXA Enterprise Fund, (1) securities of issuers that invest in real estate and (2) investments in mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other instruments supported or secured by interests in real estate are not subject to this limitation. The AXA Enterprise Fund may exercise rights relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner. The GST Fund may purchase (1) securities that are secured by real estate or interests in real estate, (2) securities of real estate investment trusts, and (3) mortgage-related securities. The GST Fund also may hold and sell real estate acquired as a result of the ownership of securities.

C-1


 

      Commodities. The AXA Enterprise Fund may not buy or sell physical commodities or contracts involving physical commodities. In accordance with the AXA Enterprise Fund’s investment strategies as reflected in its prospectus and statement of additional information, the AXA Enterprise Fund may purchase and sell (1) derivative, hedging and similar instruments such as financial futures contracts and options thereon, and (2) securities or instruments backed by, or the return from which is linked to, physical commodities or currencies, such as forward currency exchange contracts, and the AXA Enterprise Fund may exercise rights relating to such instruments, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold physical commodities and contracts involving physical commodities acquired as a result of the AXA Enterprise Fund’s ownership of instruments supported or secured thereby until they can be liquidated in an orderly manner. The GST Fund may not invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except that the GST Fund may invest in currency and financial instruments and contracts that are commodities or commodity contracts.
      Investments in Other Investment Companies. As a non-fundamental policy, the AXA Enterprise Fund may not purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and orders thereunder and except that (i) this limitation does not apply to securities received or acquired as dividends, through offers of exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger and (ii) the AXA Enterprise Fund may not acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or (G) of the 1940 Act. The GST Fund also observes, as a non-fundamental investment limitation, the 1940 Act limitations regarding investments in investment companies. Notwithstanding any other fundamental investment restriction or policy, the GST Fund may invest some or all of its assets in a single open-end investment company or series thereof with substantially the same investment objective, restrictions and policies as the GST Fund.
      Loans. The AXA Enterprise Fund may make loans, including loans of assets of the AXA Enterprise Fund, repurchase agreements, trade claims, loan participations or similar investments, or as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. The acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt securities or instruments, or participations or other interests therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances or instruments similar to any of the foregoing will not be considered the making of a loan, and is permitted when consistent with the AXA Enterprise Fund’s investment objective. The AXA Enterprise Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis up to 331/3% of its total assets, including collateral received for securities lent. The GST Fund generally may not make loans, except through the purchase of debt obligations in accordance with the GST Fund’s investment objectives and policies, repurchase agreements with banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions and loans of portfolio securities as permitted by applicable law.
      Investments in Illiquid Securities. The AXA Enterprise Fund and the GST Fund will not acquire any illiquid (not readily marketable) investments if more than 15% of their net assets would be invested in illiquid investments. This restriction is a non-fundamental policy with respect to both Funds.
      Investments for Purposes of Exercising Control. As a matter of non-fundamental policy, the GST Fund is restricted from investing in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management. The AXA Enterprise Fund has no similar restriction.
      Short Sales of Securities. The AXA Enterprise Fund will not engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position, except that the Fund may (a) engage in covered short sales, and (b) maintain short positions in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments. The GST Fund may not make short sales of securities, except for short sales against-the-box. This restriction is a non-fundamental policy for both Funds.
      Purchases of Securities on Margin. The AXA Enterprise Fund will not purchase securities on margin, except for short term credits necessary for the clearance of transactions, and except that the AXA Enterprise Fund may make margin deposits in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments. This investment restriction is non-fundamental for the AXA Enterprise Fund. The GST Fund, as a fundamental policy, may purchase securities on margin to the extent permitted by applicable law.

      Rights of Accumulation
      AXA Enterprise Fund Class A Shares
      An investor is entitled to a reduced sales charge on additional purchases of Class A shares of an AXA Enterprise Fund if the value of the investor’s existing aggregate holdings at the time of the additional purchase, calculated at the then applicable net asset value per share or the initial purchase price less any redemptions, whichever is higher, plus the amount of the additional purchase equals $100,000 or more. The investor’s discount is determined based on the schedule listed above under “Sales Charges for AXA Enterprise Fund Class A Shares.” For purposes of determining the discount, AXA Enterprise Fund will aggregate holdings of fund shares of the investor’s spouse, immediate family or accounts the investor controls, whether as a single investor or trustee, provided that the investor notifies AXA Enterprise Fund of the applicable accounts at the time of his/her additional investment by providing AXA Enterprise Fund with appropriate documentation, including the account numbers for all accounts that the investor is seeking to aggregate.
      GST Class A Shares
      When buying Class A Shares in GST Fund, the current aggregate investment determines the initial sales charge an investor will pay. An investor may qualify for reduced sales charges when the current market value of holdings across Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares, plus new purchases, reaches $50,000 or more. Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of any of the Goldman Sachs Funds may be combined under the Right of Accumulation. For purposes of applying the Right of Accumulation, shares of the Funds and any other Goldman Sachs Fund purchased by an existing client of Goldman Sachs Wealth Management or GS Ayco Holding LLC will be combined with Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares and other assets held by all other Goldman Sachs Wealth Management accounts or accounts of GS Ayco Holding LLC, respectively. In addition, under some circumstances, Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of the Funds and Class A, Class B and/or Class C Shares of any other Goldman Sachs Fund purchased by partners, directors, officers or employees of the same business organization, groups of individuals represented by and investing on the recommendation of the same accounting firm, certain affinity groups or other similar organizations may be combined for the purpose of determining whether a purchase will qualify for the Right of Accumulation and, if qualifying, the applicable sales charge level. To qualify for a reduced sales charge, an investor or the investor’s Authorized Dealer must notify the Funds’ Transfer Agent at the time of investment that a quantity discount is applicable. Use of this option is subject to a check of appropriate records.

          Letter of Intent
AXA Enterprise Fund Class A Shares
      An investor is entitled to a reduced sales charge if he/she executes a Letter of Intent to purchase $100,000 or more of Class A Shares at the public offering price within a period of 13 months. The discount will be determined based on the schedule listed above under “Sales Charges for AXA Enterprise Fund Class A Shares.” The minimum initial investment under a Letter of Intent is 5% of the amount stated in the Letter of Intent. Class A Shares purchased with the first 5% of such amount will be held in escrow (while remaining registered in the investor’s name) to secure payment of the higher sales charge that would apply to the shares actually purchased if the full amount stated is not purchased, and such escrowed shares will be involuntarily redeemed to pay the additional sales charge, if necessary. When the full amount has been purchased, the escrow will be released. If an investor wishes to enter into a Letter of Intent, he/she should complete the appropriate portion of the new account application. At the investor’s request, purchases made during the previous 90 days may be included.
GST Fund Class A Shares
      An investor may obtain a reduced sales charge by means of a written Statement of Intention which expresses his/her non-binding commitment to invest (not counting reinvestments of dividends and distributions) in the aggregate $50,000 or more within a period of 13 months in Class A Shares of one or more of the Goldman Sachs Funds. Any investments made during the period will receive the discounted sales charge based on the full amount of the investment commitment. At the investor’s request, purchases made during the previous 90 days may be included; however, capital appreciation does not apply toward these combined purchases. If the investment commitment of the Statement of Intention is not met prior to the expiration of the 13-month period, the entire amount will be subject to the higher applicable sales charge. By selecting the Statement of Intention, the investor authorizes the Transfer Agent to escrow and redeem Class A Shares in his/her account to pay this additional charge.

      Repurchase of AXA Enterprise Fund Class A Shares. An investor repurchasing Class A Shares within 180 days of redeeming shares in the same class of the same AXA Enterprise Fund is eligible, upon request, for a sales charge waiver or a credit to the investor’s account with the amount of the CDSC previously paid. The reinvested shares will keep their original cost and purchase date for purposes of calculating any future CDSCs. For federal income tax purposes, the original redemption is treated as a sale that involves tax consequences, even if the proceeds are later reinvested. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisor to determine how a redemption would affect them. The Enterprise Group may modify or terminate the reinstatement privilege at any time.
      Repurchase of GST Fund Class A Shares. An investor may redeem shares of a GST Fund and reinvest a portion or all of the redemption proceeds (plus any additional amounts needed to round off purchases to the nearest full share) at net asset value. To be eligible for this privilege, the investor must hold the shares he wants to redeem for at least 30 days and he must reinvest the share proceeds within 90 days after redemption. An investor may reinvest in Class A Shares of the same GST Fund or another GST Fund.
      If an investor pays a CDSC upon redemption of Class A Shares and then reinvests in Class A Shares as described above, the account will be credited with the amount of the CDSC the investor paid. The reinvested shares will, however, continue to be subject to a CDSC. The holding period of the shares acquired through reinvestment will include the holding period of the redeemed shares for purposes of computing the CDSC payable under a subsequent redemption.
      The reinvestment privilege may be exercised at any time in connection with transactions in which the proceeds are reinvested at net asset value in a tax-sheltered Employee Benefit Plan. In other cases, the reinvestment privilege may be exercised once per year upon receipt of a written request. There may be tax consequences as a result of a redemption. Professional tax advice should be sought regarding the tax consequences of a redemption and reinvestment.

      AXA Enterprise Fund Class A, Class B and Class C Shares. Enterprise Group has adopted distribution plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of the AXA Enterprise Fund. Under the AXA Enterprise Class A Plan, the AXA Enterprise Fund is authorized to pay the AXA Enterprise Fund’s distributor a maximum service fee accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares. In addition to this service fee, the AXA Enterprise Fund also is authorized to pay the AXA Enterprise Fund’s distributor a maximum distribution fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Class A Shares. Under the AXA Enterprise Class B and Class C Plans, the AXA Enterprise Fund is authorized to pay the AXA Enterprise Fund’s distributor a maximum service fee accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and Class C Shares. In addition to this service fee, the AXA Enterprise Fund also is authorized to pay the AXA Enterprise Fund’s distributor a maximum distribution fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and Class C Shares. Currently, the AXA Enterprise Fund pays its distributor a distribution and service fee equal to 1.00% of each of the Class B Shares and Class C Shares average daily net assets.

      AXA Enterprise Fund Class Y Shares. Class Y Shares are not subject to a distribution plan or shareholder servicing plan.
      GST Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. GST has adopted a distribution and service plans under which Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of the GST Fund bear distribution and service fees paid to authorized dealers and Goldman Sachs. Under the GST Class A Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee from each GST Fund for distribution services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of a GST Fund attributable to Class A Shares. Under the GST Class B and Class C Plans, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a monthly fee from each GST Fund for distribution services and personal account maintenance services equal, on an annual basis, to 0.75% and 0.25%, respectively, of a GST Fund attributable to Class B Shares or Class C Shares. The distribution fees are subject to the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and may be used (among other things) for: (1) compensation paid to and expenses incurred by authorized dealers, Goldman Sachs and their respective officers, employees and sales representatives; (2) commissions paid to authorized dealers; (3) allocable overhead; (4) telephone and travel expenses; (5) interest and other costs associated with the financing of such compensation and expenses; (6) printing of prospectuses for prospective shareholders; (7) preparation and distribution of sales literature or advertising of any type; and (8) all other expenses incurred in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A, Class B or Class C Shares.

Personal and account maintenance services include responding to inquiries of, and furnishing assistance to, shareholders regarding ownership of their shares or their accounts or similar services not otherwise provided on behalf of the GST Funds. In connection with the sale of Class C Shares, Goldman Sachs normally begins paying the 0.75% distribution fee and 0.25% personal and account maintenance service fee as an ongoing commission to authorized dealers after the shares have been held for one year.
      GST Institutional Shares. GST Institutional Shares are not subject to a distribution plan or shareholder servicing plan.

Redemption Fees
      The AXA Enterprise Fund charges a 2% redemption fee if you redeem or exchange shares of the fund after holding them one month or less. This fee is assessed and retained by the fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. If the short-term trading fee is $50 or less, it may not be assessed on a redemption or exchange; however, during the 30-day period following a purchase or exchange, the fund reserves the right to collect short-term trading fees relating to a series of transactions by a shareholder if, in the aggregate, the fees total more than $50. The AXA Enterprise Fund uses the “first in, first out” method to determine the shareholder’s holding period. Under this method, the date of redemption or exchange is compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in the shareholder’s account. The AXA Enterprise Fund reserves the right to modify or discontinue the short-term trading fee at any time or from time to time.
      The AXA Enterprise Fund does not assess a redemption fee with respect to certain transactions. The following shares of the funds are not subject to the redemption fees:

Pro Forma Financial Statements
     Under the Reorganization Agreement, the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund is proposed to be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. It is also proposed in a separate agreement and plan of reorganization that the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund of the AXA Enterprise Funds Trust also be reorganized into the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. A separate combined proxy statement/prospectus is being mailed to the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund shareholders.
     Shown below are unaudited pro forma financial statements for the combined Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, assuming the Reorganization, as more fully described in the combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated ___, 2007, had been consummated as of August 31, 2006.
     The Pro Forma Combined Schedules of Investments and the Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred on August 31, 2006.
     The Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund are for the twelve-months ended August 31, 2006 and have been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred September 1, 2005.
     The unaudited pro forma combined schedules and financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the financial condition that actually would have resulted if the Reorganization had been consummated on August 31, 2006. These pro forma numbers have been estimated in good faith based on information regarding the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund for the twelve month period ended August 31, 2006.
     The following unaudited pro forma combined schedules and financial statements have been derived from the schedules and financial statements of the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund and such information has been adjusted to give effect to the Reorganization as if the Reorganization had occurred on August 31, 2006. There are multiple pro forma financial statements for the combination of the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund, AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund and Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund because it is possible that (i) only the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund will approve the reorganization of their AXA Enterprise Fund with the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund; (ii) only the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund will approve the reorganization of their AXA Enterprise Fund with the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund or (iii) both the shareholders of the AXA Enterprise Growth Fund and AXA Enterprise Large Cap Growth Fund will approve the reorganization of their AXA Enterprise Funds with the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund. Therefore, pro forma financial statements for combined and individual combinations are shown.
     The unaudited pro forma combined schedules and financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund included in its Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 which is incorporated herein by reference. The combination of the AXA Enterprise

Growth Fund and the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization.

GOLDMAN SACHS CAPITAL GROWTH FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (“EGF” or “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation and is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. EGF currently has 2 active Funds, including the Growth Fund (the “Enterprise Group Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Enterprise Group Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Enterprise Group Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Enterprise Group Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Enterprise Group Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Enterprise Group Portfolio into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Enterprise Group Portfolio will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Enterprise Group Portfolio. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Enterprise Group Portfolio. The Enterprise Group Portfolio will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A
    Class B
    Class C
    Institutional
 
Shares Issued
    34,382,127       11,579,141       6,959,323       2,136,402  
Net Assets 08/31/2006
  $ 709,067,653     $ 220,297,564     $ 132,175,945     $ 45,373,851  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 08/31/2006
  $ 20.62     $ 19.03     $ 18.99     $ 21.24  
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions

 


 

that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted.
      Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
      Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net capital losses are carried forward to future years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gain distributions.
      The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
      In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
      The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):

Expiring 2011

Total
  $ 91,095     $ 222,589  
 
*   Expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.
E. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to segregate cash or securities equal to the minimum ‘‘initial margin’’ requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (‘‘variation margin’’) are paid or received by the Funds,

2


 

dependant on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
      The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
      Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“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.
G. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
H. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
      GSAM currently receives a Management Fee on a contractual basis at the following rates:
         
Average Daily Net Assets
 
Annual Rate
First $1 Billion
    1.00 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.90 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.80 %
 
      GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.004% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.
      The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman

3


 

Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.
      Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $180,700, $1,000, and $100 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
      Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
      The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
      For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $0, $734,000, $3,000, and $69,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, and Transfer Agent Fee Reduction, respectively. The Enterprise Group Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $408,000, $175,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
      At August 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $1,404,000, $411,000, and $243,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. Amounts owed to affiliates by the Enterprise Group Portfolio were approximately $0.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
      Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $18,394 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $4,166, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $78,901,761 collateralized by cash in the amount of $80,977,750. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.

GOLDMAN SACHS CAPITAL GROWTH FUND
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
For the Twelve Months Ended August 31, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a diversified portfolio offering five classes of shares — Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional and Service. Class A shares of the Fund are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Class B shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% during the first 12 months. Institutional and Service Class shares of the Fund are not subject to a sales charge.
The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (“EGF” or “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation and is registered under the Act as an open-end management investment company. EGF currently has 2 active Funds, including the Growth Fund (the “Enterprise Group Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
AXA Enterprise Funds Trust (the “Enterprise Trust”) is registered under the Act as an open-ended management investment company. The Enterprise Trust currently has sixteen active investment portfolios, including the Large Cap Growth Fund Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) which offers four classes of shares—Class A, B, C, and Y.
2. BASIS OF COMBINATION
The unaudited pro forma Statement of Investments, Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and Statement of Operations ( “pro forma statements” ) reflect the accounts of the Fund as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006. Class A of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and Class A of the Portfolio will be combined with Class A of the Fund, Class B of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and Class B of the Portfolio will be combined with Class B of the Fund, Class C of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and Class C of the Portfolio will be combined with Class C of the Fund and Class Y of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and Class Y of the Portfolio will be combined with Institutional Class of the Fund. These pro forma statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period shown.
The Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. The Plan of Reorganization provides for a tax-free acquisition of the Enterprise Group Portfolio and the Portfolio (“the Portfolios”) into the Fund. The acquisition is expected to be completed in April 2007.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
These pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transaction whereby all assets of the Portfolios will be exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Fund will assume the liabilities, if any, of the Portfolios. Immediately thereafter, shares of the Fund will be distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolios. The Portfolios will be subsequently terminated.
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional shares of the Fund, which would have been issued on August 31, 2006 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The amount of additional shares assumed to be issued under the reorganization was calculated based on the August 31, 2006 net assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Fund. These amounts are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Class A
  Class B
  Class C
  Institutional
Shares Issued
    35,836,338       13,480,335       7,592,148       2,208,462  
Net Assets 08/31/2006
  $ 739,058,057     $ 256,468,508     $ 144,194,956     $ 46,904,307  
Pro Forma Net Asset Value 08/31/2006
  $ 20.62     $ 19.03     $ 18.99     $ 21.24  

 


 

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation — Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system or for investments in securities traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service is not available are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services, broker/dealer-supplied valuations or matrix pricing systems. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share on valuation date. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available or are deemed not to reflect market value by the Investment Adviser are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are reflected as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of foreign withholding taxes, if any, which are reduced by any amounts reclaimable by the Fund, where applicable. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted.
     Net investment income (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Fund on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expense.
     Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders of the Fund bear all expenses and fees relating to its respective Distribution and Service Plans. Service Shares bear all expenses and fees relating to its Service and Shareholder Administration Plans. Each class of shares separately bears its respective class-specific Transfer Agency fees.
D. Federal Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (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, no federal tax provisions are required. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net capital losses are carried forward to future years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gain distributions.
     The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the source of the Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income or net realized gain, or from tax return of capital.
     In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of the securities held. The Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an REIT’s cash flow will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
     The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of its most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. The year and amount of expiration for each capital loss carryforward is indicated below in (000):
                 
    The Enterprise Group

*   Expiration occurs on August 31 of the year indicated. As a consequence of the reorganization, utilization of these losses may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

E. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates or to seek to increase total return. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to segregate cash or securities equal to the minimum ‘‘initial margin’’ requirement of the associated futures exchange. Subsequent payments for futures contracts (‘‘variation margin’’) are paid or received by the Funds, dependant on the fluctuations in the value of the contracts, and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses. When contracts are closed, the Funds realize a gain or loss which is reported in the Statement of Operations.
     The use of futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of a futures contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. The risk may decrease the effectiveness of the Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss.
F. Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements.
     Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund, together with other registered investment companies having management agreements with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“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.
G. Segregation Transactions — As set forth in the prospectus, the Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to increase total return. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, written options, when-issued securities and forward commitments represent examples of such transactions. As a result of entering into these transactions, the Fund is required to segregate or physically move liquid assets, on the books of its custodian or to respective counterparties, with a current value equal to or greater than the market value of the corresponding transactions.
H. Commission Recapture — The Fund may direct portfolio trades, subject to obtaining best execution, to various brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the commissions generated. Such rebates are made directly to the Fund as cash payments and are included in the net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations.
5. AGREEMENTS
GSAM, an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. Under this Agreement, GSAM manages the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administering the Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a fee (“Management Fee”) computed daily and payable monthly, equally to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     GSAM currently receives a Management Fee on a contractual basis at the following rates:
         
Average Daily Net Assets
 
Annual Rate
 
First $1 Billion
    1.00 %
Next $1 Billion
    0.90 %
Over $2 Billion
    0.80 %
 
     GSAM has voluntarily agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding Management Fees, Distribution and Service fees, Transfer Agency fees and expenses, Service Shares fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and litigation, indemnification, shareholder meeting and other extraordinary expenses exclusive of any expense offset arrangements) to the extent that such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, 0.004% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such expense reimbursements, if any, are computed daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any.

     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to a monthly fee for distribution services equal to, on an annual basis, to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. Additionally, Goldman Sachs and/or authorized dealers are entitled to receive, under the Plans, a separate fee for personal and account maintenance services equal to, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C Shares.
     Goldman Sachs serves as Distributor of the shares of the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. Goldman Sachs may retain a portion of the Class A sales load and Class B and Class C contingent deferred sales charges. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, Goldman Sachs advised the Fund that it retained approximately $180,700, $1000, and $100 for Class A, Class B, and Class C Shares, respectively.
     Goldman Sachs also serves as Transfer Agent of the Fund for a fee. Fees charged for such transfer agency services are calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate as follows: 0.19% of the average daily net assets for Class A, B and Class C shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets for Institutional and Service Shares.
     The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan for Service Shares. These plans allow for Service Shares to compensate service organizations for providing varying levels of personal and account administration and shareholder administration services to its customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan provide for compensation to the service organizations in an amount equal to, on an annualized basis, 0.25% and 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the Service Shares.
     For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain expenses. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian resulting in a reduction in the Fund’s expenses. Goldman Sachs, as Transfer Agent, voluntarily made a payment to the Fund related to certain earnings credits that reduce transfer agent fees. The Fund’s expense reductions were approximately, $0, $734,000, $3,000, and $69,000 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction and Transfer Agent Fee, respectively. The Enterprise Group Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $408,000, $175,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively. The Portfolio’s expense reductions were approximately, $173,000, $149,000, and $0 for Management Fee waiver, Other Expense Reimbursement, Custody Fee Reduction, respectively.
     At August 31, 2006, amounts owed to affiliates by the Fund were approximately $1,404,000, $411,000, and $243,000 for Management, Distribution and Service, and Transfer Agent fees, respectively. Amounts owed to affiliates by the Portfolios were approximately $0.
6. SECURITIES LENDING
Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC and the terms and conditions contained therein, the Fund may lend its securities through a securities lending agent, Boston Global Advisers (“BGA”) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, to certain qualified borrowers including Goldman Sachs and affiliates. In accordance with the Fund’s securities lending procedures, the loans are collateralized at all times with cash and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund, at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund bears the risk of delay on recovery or loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
     Both the Fund and BGA receive compensation relating to the lending of the Fund’s securities. The amount earned by the Fund for the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, is reported parenthetically on the Statement of Operations. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2006, BGA earned $18,394 in fees as securities lending agent. A portion of this amount, $4,166, represents compensation earned by the Fund from lending its securities to Goldman Sachs. At August 31, 2006, the Fund loaned securities having a market value of $78,901,761 collateralized by cash in the amount of $80,977,750. The Fund invests the cash collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions in the Enhanced Portfolio of Boston Global Investment Trust, a Delaware statutory trust. The Enhanced Portfolio is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Act and is managed by GSAM, for which GSAM receives an investment advisory fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Enhanced Portfolio. The Enhanced Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments. The Fund bears the risk of incurring a loss from the investment of cash collateral due to either credit or market factors.
