2 SUMMARY PROSPECTUS — GOLDMAN SACHS BRIC FUND (BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA)

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class A, Class C and/or Institutional Shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Class A, Class C and/or Institutional Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the Example assumes that the management fee waiver and expense limitation arrangement between the Fund and Investment Adviser will remain in place for only one year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:


	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years

Class A Shares	$	739	$	1,141	$	1,566	$	2,747

Class C Shares

— Assuming complete redemption at end of period	$	375	$	851	$	1,452	$	3,078

— Assuming no redemption	$	275	$	851	$	1,452	$	3,078

Institutional Shares	$	160	$	502	$	868	$	1,898

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities or instruments (i.e., “turns over” its portfolio). A high rate of portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs, including brokerage commissions, which must be borne by the Fund and its shareholders, and is also likely to result in higher short-term capital gains for taxable shareholders. These costs are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the expense example above, but are reflected in the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2009 was 117% of the average value of its portfolio.

FUND STRATEGY

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of investment) (“Net Assets”) in a portfolio of equity investments in issuers located in Brazil, Russia, India and China (“BRIC countries”) or in issuers that participate in the markets of the BRIC countries.

An issuer participates in the markets of the BRIC countries if the issuer:

§		Has a class of its securities whose principal securities market is in a BRIC country;

§		Is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in, a BRIC country; or

§		Maintains 50% or more of its assets in one or more BRIC countries.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund maintains investments in at least four emerging countries: Brazil, Russia, India and China. Generally, the Fund may invest in issuers that expose the Fund to the prevailing economic circumstances and factors present in the BRIC countries. The Fund may invest in other emerging country issuers, in addition to BRIC country issuers.

Allocation of the Fund’s investments is determined by the Investment Adviser’s assessment of a company’s upside potential and downside risk, how attractive it appears relative to other holdings, and how the addition will impact sector and industry weightings. The largest weightings are given to companies the Investment Adviser believes have the most upside return potential relative to their contribution to overall portfolio risk.

The Fund’s investments are selected using a strong valuation discipline to purchase what the Investment Adviser believes are well-positioned, cash-generating businesses run by shareholder-oriented management teams.

The Fund may also invest in (i) fixed income securities of private and government emerging country issuers; and (ii) equity and fixed income securities, such as government, corporate and bank debt obligations, of developed country issuers.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUND

Loss of money is a risk of investing in each Fund. An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any government agency. The Fund should not be relied upon as a complete investment program. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Stock Risk. Stock prices have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles. U.S. and foreign stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future.

Market Risk. The value of the instruments in which the Fund invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors or governments and/or general economic conditions.

BRIC Risk. The Fund’s investment exposure to the BRIC countries will subject the Fund, to a greater extent than if investments were not made in those countries, to the risks of adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in those countries. The economies, industries, securities and currency markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China, may be adversely affected by protectionist trade policies, a slow U.S. economy, political and social instability, regional and global conflicts, terrorism and war, including actions that are contrary to the interests of the U.S.

3 SUMMARY PROSPECTUS — GOLDMAN SACHS BRIC FUND (BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA)

Foreign Risk. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in these countries. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.

Emerging Countries Risk. The securities markets of most Central and South American, African, Middle Eastern, Asian, Eastern European 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.

Liquidity Risk. The risk that the Fund may make investments that may be illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions.

Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is non-diversified and is permitted to invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than a “diversified” mutual fund. Thus, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.

PERFORMANCE

The bar chart and table at right provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing: (a) changes in the performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares from year to year; and (b) how the average annual total returns of the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Institutional Shares compare to those of a broad-based securities market index. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available at no cost at www.goldmansachsfunds.com or by calling 800-621-2550 for Institutional shareholders and 800-526-7384 for all other shareholders.

The bar chart (including “Best Quarter” and “Worst Quarter” information) does not reflect the sales loads applicable to Class A Shares. If the sales loads were reflected, returns would be less. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect.
