NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS
Investment Valuation — The investment valuation policy of the Funds is to value investments at market value. Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under valuation procedures approved by the trustees consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the United States (“U.S.”) securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchanges. While the independent fair value service may not take into account market or security specific information, under the valuation procedures, these securities might also be fair valued by Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”) by taking into consideration market or security specific information as discussed below.
     Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange, the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges including, but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. Investments in equity securities and investment companies traded on a foreign securities exchange for which an independent fair value service cannot provide a quote are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, such securities and investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the trustees or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. If accurate quotations are not readily available, or if GSAMI believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined based on yield equivalents, a pricing matrix or other sources, under valuation procedures established by the trustees. Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. In the absence of market quotations, broker quotes will be utilized or the security will be fair valued. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the net asset value per share (“NAV”) of the investment company on the valuation date. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit deterioration are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
     GSAMI, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the previous closing prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining the Funds’ NAV. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: situations relating to one or more single issuers in a market sector; significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions or market closings; equipment failures; natural or man-made disasters or acts of God; armed conflicts; government actions or other developments; as well as the same or similar events which may affect specific issuers or

the securities markets even though not tied directly to the securities markets. Other significant events that could relate to a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; corporate announcements, including those relating to earnings, products and regulatory news; significant litigation; low trading volume; and trading limits or suspensions.
Fair Value of Investments — The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAMI’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
     The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and derivatives categorized in the fair value hierarchy as of July 31, 2011:

Investments in Derivatives — The Funds may make investments in derivative instruments, including, but not limited to options, futures, swaps, swaptions and other derivatives relating to foreign currency transactions. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. Derivative instruments may be privately negotiated contracts (often referred to as over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives) or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. Derivative contracts may involve future commitments to purchase or sell financial instruments or commodities at specified terms on a specified date, or to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. The use of derivatives also involves the risk of loss if the investment adviser is incorrect in its expectation of the timing or level of fluctuations in securities prices, interest rates or currency prices. Investments in derivative instruments also include the risk of default by the counterparty, the risk that the investment may not be liquid and the risk that a small movement in the price of the underlying security or benchmark may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavorable or favorable, in the price of the derivative instrument.
     During the period ended July 31, 2011, the Funds entered into certain derivative contract types. These instruments were used to meet the Funds’ investment objectives and to obtain and/or manage exposure related to the risks below. The following table sets forth, by certain risk types, the gross value of these derivative contracts for trading activities as of July 31, 2011. The values in the table below exclude the effects of cash collateral received or posted pursuant to these derivative contracts, and therefore are not representative of the Funds’ net exposure.

Foreign Currency Translations — The books and records of the Funds 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 into U.S. dollars based upon 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time 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 as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
     Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents: (i) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (ii) currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment security transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and (iii) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the amounts actually received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on securities and derivative instruments is included with the net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations, however, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on fixed income securities sold during the period is included with the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency related transactions. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included as an increase or decrease to net change in unrealized gain (loss) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Futures Contracts — 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 deposit cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when a contract is closed or expires.
     The use of futures contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk which may exceed the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts may be illiquid, and exchanges may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices during a single day. 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 Funds’ strategies and potentially result in a loss. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures, to cover their obligations under these contracts.
Participation Notes — The Funds may invest in participation notes (which in some cases may also be referred to as equity linked notes) whose values are based on the price movements of a reference security or underlying instrument. Some countries, especially emerging market countries, do not permit foreigners to participate directly in their securities markets or otherwise present difficulties for efficient

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (continued)
foreign investment. A Fund may use these notes to establish a position in such markets as a substitute for direct investment. These notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to track the return of a particular underlying equity or debt security, or market. On the maturity date of each note, a Fund will receive a payment from a counterparty based on the value of the referenced security (notional amount multiplied by price of the referenced security) and record a realized gain or loss. Interim payments received are recorded as dividend income and are reported under Investment Income on the Statements of Operations.
     Investments in participation notes involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying security, or market that they seek to replicate. In addition, participation notes are generally traded over the-counter and are subject to counterparty risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the broker-dealer or bank that issues them will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with a Fund. These notes constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them, and a Fund would be relying on the creditworthiness of such banks or broker-dealers and would have no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying assets. In addition, participation notes may trade at a discount to the value of the underlying securities or markets that they seek to replicate.
Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and foreign currency with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight or independent evaluation of their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters into bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are often undeveloped and may be less regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.
Funds’ Shareholder Concentration Risk — Certain funds, accounts, individuals or Goldman Sachs affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Funds’ shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in the Funds may impact the Funds’ liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force the Funds to sell securities.
Geographic Risk — Concentration of the 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 which may occur in a given country or region. The Asia Equity Fund invests primarily in equity investments in Asian issuers. The BRIC Fund invests primarily in equity investments in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). The N-11 Equity Fund invests primarily in issuers or instruments that expose the Fund to the prevailing economic circumstances and factors present in the N-11 countries, and the Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in investments tied economically to and/or issuers that participate in the markets of any one N-11 country.
Liquidity Risk — The Funds 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 a 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, a Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transaction defaults.
     Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, be subject to government ownership controls, have delayed settlements and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.
Non-Diversification Risk — The BRIC and N-11 Equity Funds are non-diversified and are permitted to invest more of their assets in fewer issuers than a “diversified” mutual fund. Thus, the Fund may be subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers.
