GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIOS

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
 

Investment Valuation — Each Portfolio invests in a combination of underlying mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”) for which Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) and Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), affiliates of Goldman Sachs, act as investment advisers. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Because each Portfolio invests primarily in other mutual funds, which fluctuate in value, the Portfolios’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Underlying Funds may invest in foreign securities that are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the Trustees consistent with applicable regulatory guidance.

Fair Value Measurement — In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) which provides guidance in using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The Funds adopted SFAS 157 as of the beginning of January 2008. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
     Level 1-   Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
     Level 2-   Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
     Level 3-   Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
        As required by SFAS 157, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a summary of the levels within the fair value hierarchy in which the Funds invest:

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
 

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 Portfolios, 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 Portfolios may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Portfolios seek to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolios’ 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 Portfolios, 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. In addition, the Portfolios’ credit exposure is to the underlying repurchase counterparties on a pro-rata basis. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Portfolios are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.

At March 31, 2008, certain Portfolios had undivided interests in the Joint Repurchase Agreement Account II, as follows:

Equity Growth Strategy
  $ 200,000
