Principal Investment Strategies and Risks

 

This is not a complete list of risks that affect the Funds. For additional information concerning the risks applicable to the Funds, please see the Funds’ prospectus.

The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund invests primarily in sovereign and corporate debt of issuers located in or tied economically to emerging countries or in currencies of such emerging countries. Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. The securities markets of emerging countries have less government regulation and are subject to less extensive accounting and financial reporting requirements than the markets of more developed countries. Such securities are also subject to foreign custody risk. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the issuers of sovereign debt or the government authorities that control the payment of debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. High yield, lower rated investments involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include 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; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.

The Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund invests primarily in sovereign and corporate debt of issuers located in or tied economically to emerging countries. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. The countries in which the Fund invests may have sovereign ratings that are below investment grade or are unrated. High yield, lower rated investments involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. The securities markets of emerging countries have less government regulation and are subject to less extensive accounting and financial reporting requirements than the markets of more developed countries. Such securities are also subject to foreign custody risk. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the issuers of sovereign debt or the government authorities that control the payment of debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include 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; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.

The Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund invests primarily in high yield, fixed income securities that, at the time of purchase, are non-investment grade securities. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. High yield, lower rated investments involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include 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; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all.

The Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund invests primarily in domestic or foreign floating rate loans and other floating or variable rate obligations rated below investment grade. Indirect loan participations may subject the Fund to greater delays, expenses and risks than direct obligations in the case that a borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and interest. Investments in loans and fixed income instruments are subject to the risks associated with debt instruments generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. High yield, lower rated investments involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated investments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include 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; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk.

The Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Credit Fund invests primarily in investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Any guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than its investment in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include 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; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk.

The Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund invests primarily in sovereign and corporate debt of issuers located in or tied economically to emerging countries, denominated in the local currency of such emerging countries, or in currencies of such emerging countries. Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Foreign and emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities and are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and adverse economic or political developments. The securities markets of emerging countries have less government regulation and are subject to less extensive accounting and financial reporting requirements than the markets of more developed countries. Such securities are also subject to foreign custody risk. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the issuers of sovereign debt or the government authorities that control the payment of debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. High yield, lower rated investments involve greater price volatility and present greater risks than higher rated fixed income securities. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include 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; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its illiquid investments without a substantial drop in price, if at all. The Fund is “non-diversified” and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than “diversified” funds. Accordingly, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio and to greater losses resulting from these developments.

The Goldman Sachs U.S. Mortgages Fund invests primarily in mortgage-backed securities of U.S. issuers. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities generally, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risk. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are also subject to prepayment risk, the risk that in a declining interest rate environment the Fund’s underlying mortgages may be prepaid, causing the Fund to have to reinvest at lower interest rates. Any guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. Derivative instruments may involve a high degree of financial risk. These risks include 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; the risk of default by a counterparty; and liquidity risk.

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Single Sector Fixed Income Funds

 

Market Review

Expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) might taper its asset purchases via its quantitative easing program primarily drove global fixed income market performance during the six months ended September 30, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).

When the Reporting Period began in April 2013, spread, or non-government bond, sectors were performing well, as investors sought higher yielding assets in the artificially low interest rate environment created by accommodative monetary policies of central banks around the world. The Fed, for example, maintained its quantitative easing program, through which it purchased approximately $85 billion of U.S. Treasury and mortgage-backed securities every month. In early May 2013, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) cut its main policy interest rate by 25 basis points to a record low 0.50%, citing weak Eurozone economic growth and slowing inflation. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)

Meanwhile, U.S. economic data strengthened in late April and through May 2013, led by robust housing data and an improved employment picture. The strengthening trend prompted the Fed in mid-May 2013 to signal a possible reduction, or tapering, of its asset purchases later in 2013. In response to Fed Chair Bernanke’s testimony, government bond yields rose substantially, while spread sectors grew more volatile, reflecting widespread uncertainty over how markets might function should the Fed indeed withdraw support.

In June 2013, bond investors focused on the U.S. economy and stronger than expected payrolls data, which reinforced expectations the Fed would start tapering its quantitative easing purchases during 2013. Government bond yields continued to rise, as the June Fed meeting and press conference were more hawkish than expected. Spread sectors remained volatile. Meanwhile, European economic data improved, with modest increases in the Eurozone Purchasing Managers indices (“PMI”) and accelerating expansion in the U.K. Japan’s economy continued to respond positively to the policies of its government and central bank. In contrast, China’s economic data raised concerns about the duration and extent of that nation’s slowdown.

During July 2013, the Fed’s tilt toward a reduction in asset purchases continued to drive volatility in the global fixed income markets broadly. Debate over the successor to Fed Chair Bernanke introduced new concerns about future Fed policy. Government bond yields rose during July and continued to climb in August 2013 on speculation that Larry Summers, not Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen, might be the frontrunner. It was widely believed the Fed would become more hawkish under Summers. In the Eurozone, economic data suggested the region had pulled itself out of an extended recessionary period, with manufacturing activity pointing to an expansion for the first time in two years. Elsewhere, China showed signs of modest growth in its industrial and export sectors, suggesting to many that Chinese policymakers would likely be successful in engineering a soft landing for China’s economic slowdown. Meanwhile, in Japan, Prime Minister Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party won an expected but resounding victory in its upper house parliamentary election, allowing the Prime Minister to proceed with the structural reforms outlined in his economic policy.

In mid-September 2013, the Fed surprised the financial markets by announcing it would delay tapering of its quantitative easing program asset purchases, citing concerns about the strength of the U.S. economic recovery and the pressures of fiscal tightening, including tax increases that took effect at the beginning of 2013 and federal spending cuts known as sequestration. Volatility in the spread sectors subsided on the unexpected decision and on the implication the Fed’s commitment to an accommodative monetary policy would persist. Also in September

MARKET REVIEW

 

2013, Larry Summers withdrew himself from consideration as the next Fed Chair. (In October 2013, after the end of the Reporting Period, President Obama nominated Janet Yellen for the post.) However, such reduced volatility in the fixed income markets was short lived. Toward the end of the month, U.S. lawmakers did not reach agreement on a bill to keep the federal government funded after September 30, 2013, which led to the first U.S. government shutdown in 17 years. In the Eurozone, German Chancellor Angela Merkel secured a third term, though her Christian Democratic Union fell just short of an absolute majority, and she had to seek a coalition partner. The Italian government under Prime Minister Enrico Letta received a vote of confidence as former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi backed down on a threat to destabilize the ruling coalition in Italy due to a lack of support from his Freedom People party. More broadly, global PMI improved in September 2013, with Asia, Europe and the U.S. all demonstrating month-over-month expansion in manufacturing activity, suggesting to many that the worldwide economic recovery was ongoing.

For the Reporting Period overall, high yield corporate bonds posted the strongest performance within the fixed income market. Mortgage-backed securities, investment grade corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities also outperformed U.S. Treasury securities during the Reporting Period, but more modestly so. Sovereign emerging market debt was weakest within the fixed income market, as the combination of anticipation of the Fed tapering its quantitative easing program, U.S. economic growth outpacing emerging markets economic growth, and worries over an economic slowdown in China drove a sell-off in the sector during the Reporting Period. Agency securities and asset-backed securities also trailed U.S. Treasury returns, albeit more modestly. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury yields rose during the Reporting Period across the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities. The yield on the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury rose approximately 75 basis points to 2.61%. Overall, the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened during the Reporting Period, with rates on longer-term maturities increasing more than those on shorter-term maturities.

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, the U.S., in our view, was making good progress on the path to sustainable economic growth, and other major economies seemed to be joining the upswing. Leading economic indicators showed broad-based improvement in economic activity, especially in Europe. Going forward, we believe the combination of improving economic growth and ongoing monetary policy accommodation should be positive for spread sector performance. Further, credit fundamentals remained solid at the end of the Reporting Period, including a low number of defaults and strong balance sheets in the corporate sector. Though leverage has increased and merger and acquisition activity has risen, corporate behavior remains moderate, in our view, compared to that seen in the years before the financial crisis. On the other hand, strengthening economic growth, we believe, may well maintain upward pressure on core government yields, particularly in the U.S. (Remember, there is usually an inverse relationship between bond prices and yield movements, so that bond prices fall when yields rise and vice versa.)

The durability of economic growth outside the U.S. is still unclear. Whereas in the U.S., private sector strength has been offsetting temporary headwinds, such as weak capital expenditure and fiscal tightening, the same quality of growth is not yet evident elsewhere. Improvement in the economies of Eurozone peripheral nations has been coming from a low level, and demand remains weak across the region overall. In Japan, the initial benefits from the yen’s steep decline — the result of government and central bank policy — appeared to be

MARKET REVIEW

 

subsiding at the end of the Reporting Period, and the prospects for effective corporate reform remained in doubt. China’s economic rebound, in our opinion, has been mainly due to renewed investment, demonstrating policymakers’ determination to hit their 7% to 7.5% economic growth target. However, we are concerned about rising inventories and the softening of policies meant to restrain credit growth in China, which could increase the risk of crisis over the longer term, with possible spillover to the emerging markets broadly. That said, we think the emerging markets are better positioned than in the past to weather shocks, with greater economic growth, lower debt and tighter fiscal policy than many developed countries. At the same time, we expect emerging market debt returns to become more varied in the months ahead according to the strengths and weaknesses of individual economies. Such weaknesses include current account deficits, high foreign liabilities and excessive credit growth.

At the end of the Reporting Period, global liquidity remained quite strong, in our view. Eurozone and U.K. central banks were officially biased to keep interest rates low, and we think the ECB may offer more special loans going forward. The Bank of Japan could ramp up quantitative easing to offset tax hikes next year, and the Fed continues to buy $85 billion of securities per month. While the Fed’s actions and statements suggest the normalization process of monetary policy will likely be gradual, we consider that process to be underway and expect a reduction in its asset purchases by early 2014.

Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of total return consisting of income and capital appreciation.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the four-month period ending September 30, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -4.42%, -4.65%, -4.33%, -4.38% and -4.51%, respectively. These returns compare to the -3.89% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Composite Index (the “Index”), which is comprised 50% of the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (GBI-EMSM) Global Diversified Index, 25% of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBISM) Global Diversified Index and 25% of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index (CEMBISM) Broad Diversified Index during the same time period. The components of the Fund’s blended benchmark, the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index, J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index and J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index, generated cumulative total returns of -4.55%, -3.79% and -2.74%, respectively during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   What economic and market factors most influenced the U.S. mortgage markets as a whole during the Reporting Period?

 

A   When the Reporting Period began, U.S. Treasury yields increased on improving U.S. economic data and concern that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would taper its quantitative easing program. As U.S. Treasury yields rose, investors in external emerging markets debt sought to reduce exposure to longer term bonds, which are generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates. This had the greatest impact on high quality issuers, who — because of their creditworthiness — are able to issue longer maturity bonds. Investors also re-assessed the attractiveness of local emerging markets debt and exited emerging market currencies in favor of the U.S. dollar.

 

      During the Reporting Period overall, external emerging markets debt recorded a negative return. Local emerging markets debt also posted a negative return, driven by changes in local interest rates and currency depreciation.

 

      Within the emerging markets corporate bond sector, there was approximately $271 billion in gross new issuance between January 2013 and the end of the Reporting Period. Approximately $36 billion was issued during the month of September 2013 alone. Quasi-sovereign government bonds dominated new issuance, accounting for approximately 43% of total emerging markets corporate bond issuance between January 2013 and the end of the Reporting Period, approximately 1.2 times as much issuance as during the same time period in 2012.1

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, largely as a result of our active currency management, through which the Fund invests in local currencies (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts as well as bonds denominated in local currencies). In addition, country and issue selection in external emerging markets debt overall detracted from relative performance.

 

      The Fund’s U.S. duration and yield curve strategy added to Fund returns. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities within a particular sector. Also, our country and issue selection of local emerging markets debt, external emerging markets corporate bonds and emerging markets quasi-sovereign bonds enhanced relative performance.

Q   Which segments of emerging markets debt most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   The Fund was hurt by its investments in Brazilian local debt, which underperformed during the Reporting Period. Brazilian economic growth fell short of forecasts in the first quarter of 2013, increasing just 0.6% versus expectations of 0.9% — the ninth consecutive quarter of below-trend growth. At the same time, inflation remained high, leading Brazil’s central bank to start hiking interest rates in April 2013. Large protests about government services also contributed to the underperformance of Brazilian local debt during the Reporting Period. Fund returns were further dampened by an overweight in Honduras external debt, which underperformed during the Reporting Period. In addition, an underweight in the Polish zloty, accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, detracted as the currency appreciated early in the Reporting Period.

 

      On the positive side, the Fund’s underweight in Indonesian local debt enhanced relative performance during the Reporting Period. Indonesian local debt underperformed, especially during the third quarter of 2013 when it posted the lowest returns in the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Index for each of the three months. Economic data fueled the weakness, after Indonesia’s already large current account deficit had widened further during the second calendar quarter. The Fund also benefited from an underweight in Polish local debt, which underperformed during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s overweight in the Brazilian real, accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, contributed positively during September 2013 as the currency appreciated.

 

Q   Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund’s U.S. duration and yield curve positioning contributed positively, albeit slightly, to relative performance. During the Reporting Period, we tactically adjusted the Fund’s duration position relative to the Index, shifting as we deemed necessary between a short duration bias and a long duration bias. Most of the positive performance occurred during August 2013 when the Fund had a short duration bias. U.S. interest rates increased in August, with the 10-year benchmark U.S. Treasury yield rising 20 basis points to 2.78%. Positive U.S. economic data also put upward pressure on interest rates.

 

Q   How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund invested in U.S. Treasury futures, Eurodollar futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and credit linked notes. U.S. Treasury futures were used to manage U.S. interest rate duration. Eurodollar futures were used to express our views on the direction of interest rates and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were used for hedging purposes or to express a positive view on a given currency. Interest rate swaps were used to express our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. Total return swaps and credit linked notes were used in place of buying a local currency denominated bond when a particular market was otherwise inaccessible or as a more efficient means of gaining access to a local market.

 

Q   Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?

 

A   As the Fund launched on May 31, 2013, it was not a matter of making changes during the Reporting Period but of building the portfolio.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the external debt of countries with what we considered to be strong and improving balance sheets, such as Indonesia and Russia. The Fund also continued to have an overweight in Ivory Coast external debt, which we expect to rally further. The Fund had a position in Slovenian external debt because we believe policymakers are demonstrating a willingness to work on their structural fiscal issues. In our opinion, Slovenia has good fundamentals and, as part of the European Union, is likely to receive financial support if it becomes necessary. Some of the Fund’s largest underweights relative to the Index were in the external debt of Central and Eastern European countries, such as Poland, Hungary, Lithuania and Croatia, given the potential risk of Eurozone bank deleveraging to their financial sectors. The Fund was also underweight the external debt of South Africa on concerns about ongoing labor unrest and the potential deterioration in its fiscal accounts.

 

     

In local emerging markets debt at the end of the Reporting Period, we saw attractive opportunities in Latin American local debt and had positioned the Fund with overweights in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. We also favored Brazilian inflation linked bonds. In our opinion, Brazil offers the highest real interest rates (the rate of interest an investor can

expect to receive after allowing for inflation) in the world. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was underweight in Asian local debt because we considered it expensive relative to the local debt of other regions. The Fund’s largest overweight position at the end of the Reporting Period was in the Dominican peso, which we accomplished through investments in Dominican local debt. The Fund also had investments in the Russian ruble and Mexican peso, accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

 

Q   What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a long-term positive outlook on emerging markets debt because we believe the asset class is shifting from a niche investment to a core portfolio component. Emerging markets countries produce nearly 50% of global Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), and yet emerging markets at the end of the Reporting Period accounted for only approximately 10% of the global fixed income market. In addition, emerging markets debt is backed by faster growing economies. Growth in the developing world was 5.1% during 2012, according to the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), almost four times that of developed economies. Also, emerging markets economies generally have lower levels of debt-to-GDP relative to developed economies. In addition, emerging markets debt can benefit from a growing investor base, which, in our view, would promote market depth and stability.

 

      In our opinion, emerging markets economies have become far better able to withstand shocks to the global financial system than in years past, thanks in part to reserve accumulation and improved external debt positions. We believe that greater policy autonomy has also played a key role, as credible monetary policy has helped to moderate inflation, and fiscal consolidation has reduced public sector debt. At the end of the Reporting Period, stand-alone valuations in the emerging markets reflected these fundamental improvements to some extent, but we believe the increasing recognition of emerging markets as a mature asset class should lead to more strategic allocations and could consequently boost valuations.

 

      At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to view external emerging markets debt as a compelling strategic asset class. In our opinion, the weak performance of the asset class during the Reporting Period was primarily the result of interest rate movements. We considered the credit risk premiums on emerging markets debt at the end of the Reporting Period excessive relative to the probability of default of the underlying issuers.

 

      Relative to emerging markets nations’ management of interest rates, we believe the process has undergone a structural shift during the last decade. Historically, emerging markets countries tended to follow pro-cyclical monetary policies in which they tightened liquidity during times of stress in order to prevent currency depreciation. However, because most emerging markets nations have pursued what we believe are sound economic policies in recent years and have benefited from strong economic growth, we believe they are in a position to follow counter-cyclical monetary policies. In our view, overall, their yields are more sensitive to developed market interest rates than to the behavior of the credit markets. As such, we believe local currency denominated bonds offer attractive risk profiles.

 

      Over the medium term, we expect the performance of local emerging markets debt to be supported by currency appreciation. We base this view on the strong divergence in real GDP growth between the emerging markets and the mature markets as well as on expected continuing net investment inflows to emerging markets countries. In our opinion, current account balances and foreign direct investment flows into emerging markets regions — despite some outflows during the second quarter of 2013 — should remain robust. We believe emerging markets currencies are undervalued, which makes a compelling long-term case, in our view, for currency exposure through investment in unhedged local debt.

 

      Relative to emerging markets corporate bonds, we have a positive outlook, given that emerging markets corporate bonds have wider spreads (or yield differentials) over comparable developed markets bonds. In addition, we believe that emerging markets corporate issuers have less leverage and their balance sheets are generally robust with limited near-term need to refinance debt. Nevertheless, the liquidity of emerging markets corporate bonds is less than that of emerging markets sovereign debt. Going forward, we expect strong issuance to continue. J.P. Morgan forecasts $315 billion in emerging markets corporate bond issuance for 2013 as a whole.

  1    The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

 

  2    The Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Composite Index is comprised of the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index (50%), the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index (25%), and the J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index (25%). The index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  3    The method of calculation of the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the last 30 days of the period by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standard Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

  4    The Standardized Total Returns are cumulative total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 4.50% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. The Fund will charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 30 calendar days or less. The performance figures do not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee. If reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance quoted.

 

 

The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of total return consisting of income and capital appreciation.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -5.83%, -6.19%, -5.66% and -5.71%, respectively. These returns compare to the -4.52% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBISM) Global Diversified (Gross, USD, Unhedged) Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

Q   What economic and market factors most influenced emerging markets debt as a whole during the Reporting Period?

 

A   When the Reporting Period began during the second quarter of 2013, yields on 10-year U.S. Treasury securities increased on improving U.S. economic data and on concern that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would taper its quantitative easing program. As U.S. Treasury yields rose, investors in external emerging markets debt sought to reduce exposure to longer term bonds, which are generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates. This had the greatest impact on high quality issuers, who — because of their creditworthiness — are able to issue longer maturity bonds. During the third quarter of 2013, external emerging markets debt posted a positive return, though spreads (or yield differentials) between comparable maturity emerging markets corporate bonds and emerging markets high yield bonds were volatile.

 

    For the Reporting Period overall, external emerging markets debt recorded a negative return. Sovereign spreads (that is, the difference in yields between external emerging markets debt and U.S. Treasuries) tightened 41 basis points to

close the Reporting Period 341 basis points wider than U.S. Treasury securities. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The weakest performing emerging external debt markets during the Reporting Period, as represented by the Index, were (in U.S. dollar terms1) Indonesia (-10.28%), Brazil (-7.36%) and Venezuela (-9.11%). The top performing emerging external debt markets were Hungary (+5.71%), Pakistan (+17.06%) and Egypt (+9.27%).

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s performance was hampered by our active currency management, through which the Fund invests in local currencies (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts as well as bonds denominated in local currencies). In addition, the Fund’s results were hurt by our country and issue selection of local emerging markets debt, emerging markets corporate bonds and emerging markets quasi- sovereign bonds.

 

    The Fund benefited from our country and issue selection of external emerging markets debt overall. Also enhancing relative performance was our sector positioning, particularly the Fund’s allocations to emerging markets corporate bonds and emerging markets quasi-sovereign bonds. The Fund’s U.S. duration and yield curve strategy further added to Fund returns. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

 

Q   Which segments of emerging markets debt most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A  

The Fund’s underweight in Hungarian external debt dampened relative performance. Hungarian external debt outperformed during the Reporting Period. An overweight in Indonesian external debt also detracted. Economic data

fueled weakness in Indonesia external debt during the third quarter of 2013 after the country’s already large current account deficit had widened further during the second calendar quarter. In addition, the Fund was hampered by its overweight in Brazilian local debt, which underperformed. Brazilian economic growth fell short of forecasts in the first quarter of 2013, increasing just 0.6% versus expectations of 0.9% — the ninth consecutive quarter of below-trend growth. At the same time, inflation remained high, leading Brazil’s central bank to start hiking interest rates in April 2013. Large protests about government services also contributed to the underperformance of Brazilian external debt during the Reporting Period. An investment in the Mexican peso, accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, hurt Fund returns. The Mexican peso depreciated during May 2013 on concern the Fed might reduce its quantitative easing measures.

 

    On the positive side, the Fund benefited from its underweight in Turkish external debt, which underperformed during the Reporting Period, especially during the third calendar quarter. Turkey was pressured both by civil unrest and a large current account deficit (5.4% of Turkish Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) as of July 2013) and expectations of soft domestic demand going forward. The escalation of the Syrian conflict added to Turkey’s list of vulnerabilities during August 2013, with the broad market beginning to price in potential disruptions in oil supply and further instability across the Middle East. An increase in oil prices would negatively affect Turkey because the country is a net energy importer, while instability could disrupt Turkey’s export markets. The Fund’s holdings of Slovenian external debt contributed positively during the Reporting Period. An underweight in the Indonesian rupiah, accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, also added to relative returns. The Indonesian rupiah depreciated significantly during the Reporting Period, as investors focused on Indonesia’s large current account deficit. Indonesia’s central bank hiked interest rates three times during the third quarter of 2013, raising the benchmark rate from 6.0% to 7.25%, in an effort to defend the falling currency. The Fund’s underweight in Polish local debt, which underperformed during the Reporting Period, also enhanced relative performance.

 

Q   Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund’s U.S. duration and yield curve positioning contributed positively, albeit slightly, to relative performance. During the Reporting Period, we tactically adjusted the Fund’s duration position relative to the Index, shifting as we deemed necessary between a short duration bias and a long duration bias. Most of the positive performance occurred during August 2013 when the Fund had a short duration bias. U.S. interest rates increased in August, with the 10-year benchmark U.S. Treasury yield rising 20 basis points to 2.78%. Positive U.S. economic data also put upward pressure on interest rates.

 

Q   How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund invested in U.S. Treasury futures, Eurodollar futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and credit linked notes. U.S. Treasury futures were used to manage U.S. interest rate duration. Eurodollar futures were used to express our views on the direction of interest rates and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were used for hedging purposes or to express a positive view on a given currency. Interest rate swaps were used to express our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. Total return swaps and credit linked notes were used in place of buying a local currency denominated bond when a particular market was otherwise inaccessible or as a more efficient means of gaining access to a local market.

 

Q   Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?

 

A  

During the Reporting Period, we decreased the Fund’s underweight position in Brazilian external debt but continued to maintain an underweight. We moved the Fund from an underweight in South African external debt to a neutral position by the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund, which had a neutral position in Mexican external debt at the beginning of the Reporting Period, had an overweight position at the end of the Reporting Period. In addition, we shifted the Fund from an overweight position in Ukrainian

external debt to an underweight position. The Fund was neutral to slightly underweight in Turkish external debt at the beginning of the Reporting Period but was strongly underweight at the end of the Reporting Period. We increased the Fund’s already underweight position in South Korean local debt during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in the external debt of countries with what we considered to be strong and improving balance sheets, such as Indonesia and Russia. The Fund also continued to have an overweight compared to the Index in Ivory Coast external debt, which we expect to rally further. The Fund had a position in Slovenian external debt because we believe policymakers are demonstrating a willingness to work on their structural fiscal issues. In our opinion, Slovenia has good fundamentals and, as part of the European Union, is likely to receive financial support if it becomes necessary. Some of the Fund’s largest underweights relative to the Index were in the external debt of Central and Eastern European countries, such as Poland, Hungary, Lithuania and Croatia, given the potential risk of Eurozone bank deleveraging to their financial sectors. The Fund was also underweight compared to the Index in South Africa on concerns about ongoing labor unrest and the potential deterioration in its fiscal accounts.

 

Q   What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a long-term positive outlook on emerging markets debt because we believe the asset class is shifting from a niche investment to a core portfolio component. Emerging markets countries produce nearly 50% of global GDP, and yet emerging markets at the end of the Reporting Period accounted for only approximately 10% of the global fixed income market. In addition, emerging markets debt is backed by faster growing economies. Growth in the developing world was 5.1% during 2012, according to the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), almost four times that of developed economies. Also, emerging markets economies generally have lower levels of debt-to-GDP relative to developed economies. In addition, emerging markets debt can benefit from a growing investor base, which, in our view, would promote market depth and stability.
      In our opinion, emerging markets economies have become far better able to withstand shocks to the global financial system than in years past, thanks in part to reserve accumulation and improved external debt positions. We believe that greater policy autonomy has also played a key role, as credible monetary policy has helped to moderate inflation, and fiscal consolidation has reduced public sector debt. At the end of the Reporting Period, stand-alone valuations in the emerging markets reflected these fundamental improvements to some extent, but we believe the increasing recognition of emerging markets as a mature asset class should lead to more strategic allocations and could consequently boost valuations.

 

    At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to view external emerging markets debt as a compelling strategic asset class. In our opinion, the weak performance of the asset class during the Reporting Period was primarily the result of interest rate movements. We considered the credit risk premiums on emerging markets debt at the end of the Reporting Period excessive relative to the probability of default of the underlying issuers.

Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund

 

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income and may also consider the potential for capital appreciation.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, B, C, Institutional, Service, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.28%, -0.09%, -0.10%, 0.59%, 0.20%, 0.41% and 0.15%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.81% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. High-Yield Bond 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

Q   What economic and market factors most influenced the high yield bond market as a whole during the Reporting Period?

 

A   When the Reporting Period began, high yield corporate bonds recorded gains as yields reached all-time lows. However, commentary from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) about the potential tapering of its quantitative easing program led to a sharp increase in U.S. Treasury yields during May and June 2013. Yields on five-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury securities rose 63 basis points and 64 basis points, respectively, during the second calendar quarter overall. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The yields on high yield corporate bonds also increased as volatility picked up, and high yield corporate bond mutual funds experienced record investment outflows. During the second calendar quarter, option adjusted spreads widened 35 basis points, ending June 2013 at 492 basis points. The option adjusted spread is a measurement tool for evaluating price differences between similar products with different embedded options. Lower quality credits performed best during the second quarter of 2013 due to their lower sensitivity to an increase in interest rates. High yield corporate bonds underperformed both high yield loans (represented by the Barclays Bank Loan Index/U.S. High-Yield Loan Index) and equities (represented by the S&P 500® Total Return Index). During the second calendar quarter, the average price of a high yield corporate bond dropped $3.72 to $101.57, and yields on high yield corporate bonds ended June 2013 at 6.66%, up 99 basis points.1

 

      In the third quarter of 2013, the high yield corporate bond market posted positive returns. Riskier assets overall performed well as volatility began to subside. Option adjusted spreads tightened by 31 basis points, ending the Reporting Period at 461 basis points. Lower quality credits performed best. High yield corporate bonds underperformed equities but outperformed high yield loans. The average price of a high yield corporate bond increased $0.27 to $101.84, and the yields on high yield corporate bonds decreased 43 basis points to end the Reporting Period at 6.23%.1

 

      Issuance was strong during the second calendar quarter despite increased market volatility in May and June 2013, with $98.6 billion of bonds priced across 218 deals. Refinancing continued to be the primary use of proceeds, though this slowed as acquisition finance and general corporate expenditures increased. During the third calendar quarter, after a typical summer slowdown in July and August 2013, issuance picked up significantly in September 2013. In fact, September was the most active new issuance market on record, as $52.7 billion in bonds were priced during the month, bringing the third calendar quarter total to $91.3 billion across 172 deals.1

 

      Demand for high yield corporate bonds dropped drastically during the second quarter of 2013. June 2013 saw record investment outflows, as $11.8 billion was withdrawn from high yield corporate bond mutual funds. However, demand picked up significantly near the end of the third quarter of 2013. For the third calendar quarter overall, high yield corporate bond mutual funds saw investment inflows of $6.6 billion, $5.2 billion of which was in September 2013 alone.1

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

 

    The default rate for high yield corporate bonds remained quite low in historical terms. During the Reporting Period as a whole, there were 12 defaults among high yield issuers, affecting approximately $5.1 billion in bonds. The 12-month par-weighted default high yield corporate bond rate through September 30, 2013 was 1.09%.1

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index. Because we expected spreads (yield differential between high yield corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities of similar maturity) to narrow, the Fund was underweight short spread duration credits and overweight intermediate spread duration credits. (Spread duration represents the price sensitivity of a high yield bond to a change in spreads.) This positioning hurt relative performance when spreads widened slightly during the Reporting Period. In addition, the Fund was hampered by its cash position and an overweight to emerging markets corporate bonds. Its long duration position also dampened relative performance. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

    Slightly offsetting these results was the Fund’s overweight to lower credit-quality credits, which contributed positively to relative results. The Fund also benefited from its overweighted positions in Euro-denominated bonds and non-rated credits.

 

Q   Which segments within high yield most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   The Fund’s overweight in lower credit-quality credits, in particular its overweighted position in CCC-rated bonds, and its underweighted position in higher credit-quality credits, particularly BB-rated bonds, added to relative returns, as lower quality bonds outperformed higher quality bonds during the Reporting Period.

 

    In terms of sector positioning, the Fund benefited from overweighted positions in commercial services, food and drugs, and chemicals. In addition, an underweight in utilities contributed positively. This was slightly offset by overweighted positions in home construction, gaming and cellular telecommunications, which detracted. An underweighted position in technology also detracted from relative returns.

 

    Relative to issue selection, Fund performance was enhanced by overweighted positions in Sitel, a telemarketing and outsourcing business, and in the restructured equity of Houghton Mifflin, an educational and trade publisher. The Fund benefited from its lack of exposure to electric utility company Energy Future Holdings and from a neutral position relative to the Index in automobile maker General Motors. Detracting were the Fund’s overweighted positions in OGX Petróleo e Gás Participações, a Brazilian oil and gas company; Getty Images, a stock photo agency; Caesars Entertainment, a casino operator; and Sprint Nextel, a telecommunications firm.

 

Q   Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund’s slightly long duration bias compared to the Index detracted from relative performance as interest rates increased during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   To hedge against currency risk (that is, the risk that certain currencies might fluctuate in value), the Fund employed forward foreign exchange currency contracts during the Reporting Period. Additionally, a specialized index of credit default swaps (CDX) was used to manage the beta of the Fund on an active basis. It was also used as a cost-efficient instrument to help manage the Fund’s cash position. We employ CDX contracts as a way to gain credit exposure by being short credit protection, when the Fund experiences significant cash inflows.

 

Q   Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Near the end of the second quarter of 2013, we made a tactical decision to reduce the Fund’s exposure to risk. Overall, we had a positive outlook for the U.S. economy, the health of U.S. corporations and corporate default rates. Though these views supported an overall favorable view of spreads, we saw several threats to the near-term performance of corporate credit overall. Volatility had increased, the relative attractiveness of other fixed income assets, notably mortgage-backed securities, had improved, and large non-traditional investors — who owned high yield securities because of their relatively higher yields — were selling many of their high yield investments. We implemented a higher risk target in September 2013 after the Fed said it would maintain the pace of its asset purchases under quantitative easing and the Syrian crisis was resolved without military intervention.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

 

 

    Throughout the Reporting Period, we maintained the Fund’s overweight in lower credit-quality bonds. We increased the Fund’s exposure to energy as well as to retail and apparel. We decreased exposure to non-cellular telecommunications and health care. In addition, over the course of the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s exposure to European credits.
Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight commercial services, gaming and lodging, and home construction relative to the Index. It was underweight compared to the Index in gas utilities, autos, and metals and mining at the end of the Reporting Period.

 

Q   What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed corporate profitability was reasonably strong and did not expect defaults to pick up for at least another 18 months. We had also observed a greater willingness by corporations to increase debt — either for growth initiatives or to enhance shareholder returns — and as a result, somewhat more aggressive deals are being brought to market. Though we continue to see broadly healthy balance sheets and an economic environment that is supportive of modestly higher debt, we plan to monitor this trend for signs of excess.

  1    The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

 

  2    The Barclays U.S. High-Yield Bond 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index, an unmanaged index, covers the universe of U.S. dollar denominated, non-convertible, fixed rate, non-investment grade debt. Index holdings must have at least one year to final maturity, at least $150 million par amount outstanding, and be publicly issued with a rating of Ba1 or lower. The Index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  3    The method of calculation of the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the last 30 days of the period by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standard Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

 

The returns set forth in the table above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

  4    The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 4.5% for Class A Shares, the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class B Shares (5% maximum declining to 0% after six years) and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Class B Shares convert automatically to Class A Shares on or about the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter that is eight years after purchase. Returns for Class B Shares for the period after conversion reflect the performance of Class A Shares. Because Institutional, Service, Class R and IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns. The Fund will charge a 2% redemption fee on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 60 calendar days or less. The performance figures do not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee. If reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance quoted. The Fund’s Class B Shares are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders (although current Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest income and capital gains distributions into Class B Shares, and Class B shareholders may continue to exchange their shares for Class B Shares of certain other Goldman Sachs Funds).

Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.80%, 0.43%, 0.98%, 0.93% and 0.67%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.35% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. High-Yield Loans Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

Q   What economic and market factors most influenced the high yield floating rate loan market as a whole during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The high yield loan market remained relatively firm throughout the Reporting Period. The weighted average price for the loans in the Index was relatively flat, declining slightly from $98.14 to $98.05.

 

    When the Reporting Period began in the second quarter of 2013, high yield loans generated healthy returns, as the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) quantitative easing program pushed down interest rates and motivated investors to seek higher-yielding alternatives to U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities. After the Fed hinted in mid-May 2013 it might taper quantitative easing, conditions grew more volatile, and the high yield loan market sold off during May and June 2013. Volatility decreased in July 2013, as U.S. Treasury yields started to stabilize, and high yield loans performed well. Their performance then cooled again during August 2013. In September 2013, high yield loans provided positive returns on improved risk sentiment following the Fed’s surprise announcement that it would not taper its quantitative easing program. By the end of the Reporting Period, the high yield loan market had retraced all the losses it had incurred in the broad market selloff during May and June 2013.

 

    The technical backdrop was supportive for high yield loans during the Reporting Period. Demand was strong, as yields remained near all-time lows and issuers continued to refinance their existing debt. Primary market activity remained at sustained high levels, with $301 billion of new high yield loans issued during the Reporting Period. Proceeds were used primarily to refinance existing debt, as companies remained focused on managing cash and extending maturities. However, there was also a noticeable uptick in more aggressive deals, with 43.2% of proceeds from the September 2013 new issuance used to finance acquisitions as compared to 18.3% for the period between January 2013 and the end of the Reporting Period.1

 

    Investment inflows into high yield loan mutual funds were also strong. High yield loan mutual funds saw investment inflows of $52.3 billion, eclipsing the previous high of $17.9 billion set during calendar year 2010. At the end of the Reporting Period, high yield loan mutual funds had 67 consecutive weeks of investment inflows. Meanwhile, issuance of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) was robust, with $70.3 billion priced during the first 3 quarters of 2013.1

 

    During the Reporting Period, the default rate for high yield loans remained quite low on a historical basis. There were six defaults among high yield loan issuers during the Reporting Period, affecting $6.21 billion in high yield loans. The trailing 12-month loan-only default rate through September 30, 2013 was 1.94%.1

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund’s bias toward higher quality securities was most responsible for its underperformance during the Reporting Period. The Fund was also hindered by its cash position.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

Q   Which segments of the high yield floating rate loan market significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   The Fund was hampered by its “up-in-quality” bias during the Reporting Period. It was overweight higher credit-quality BB-rated high yield bank loans and underweight lower credit-quality CCC-rated high yield bank loans. During the Reporting Period, CCC-rated high yield bank loans rallied, outperforming the Index as a whole.

 

    These results were offset somewhat by effective issue selection. Fund performance was enhanced by its exposure to telecommunications firm Verizon; publishing and business services provider McGraw Hill; and clothing manufacturer American Apparel. The Fund also benefited from its lack of exposure to Energy Future Holdings, an electric utility company, and Avaya, a global provider of business communications and collaboration systems. Detracting during the Reporting Period were investments in telecommunications company Sprint-Nextel and stock photo agency Getty Images. In addition, the Fund was hurt by its lack of exposure to Education Management, a private operator of post-secondary educational institutions; Federal-Mogul, a supplier of automotive products; and Supermedia, a marketing company.

 

Q   Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund does not use duration and yield curve positioning as active management strategies within its investment process.

 

Q   How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   To hedge against currency risk (that is, the risk that certain currencies might fluctuate in value), the Fund employed forward foreign exchange currency contracts during the Reporting Period. The Fund also employed interest rate swaps as a cost-efficient instrument to provide us with greater precision and versatility in the management of duration. Interest rate swaps are only utilized in the Fund for the purpose of hedging duration, as the Fund does not take active duration and yield curve positions. Additionally, a specialized index of credit default swaps (CDX) was used to manage the beta of the Fund on an active basis. It was also used as a cost-efficient instrument to help manage the Fund’s cash position. We employ CDX contracts as a way to gain credit exposure by being short credit protection, when the Fund experiences significant cash inflows.

 

Q   Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s exposure to building materials, food and tobacco, gaming and lodging, packaging, and retail and apparel. We reduced the Fund’s exposure to commercial services and energy.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in media and telecommunications, consumer non-durables, and food and tobacco. It was underweight relative to the Index in information technology, utilities and health care. Relative to individual issuers, we focused Fund investments on higher conviction names and maintained our investing discipline in the face of continued investment inflows into the asset class.

 

Q   What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

 

A   Looking ahead, we expect several factors to boost demand for high yield loans, including strong investor appetite for yield in an ultra-low interest rate environment and revival of the structured finance market. Even if there are further modest declines in yields as a result of refinancing and repricing activity, we believe high yield loans are likely to remain attractive, largely because of their persistently and historically low default rate (to date).

 

    When the Reporting Period ended, the Fund was focused on B-rated to BB-rated high yield loans. We continued to maintain the Fund’s “up-in-quality” bias for three reasons. First, we believe as one reaches for yield in lower-rated credits, the volatility of returns on high yield loans tends to be substantially higher with minimal total return benefit over time. Second, corporate leverage has risen as more companies take advantage of favorable market conditions to raise debt. Third, we believe issuers’ terms on loans are becoming more aggressive.

 

   

We intend to continue to look for attractive investments in high quality companies that in our view generally exhibit some of the following characteristics: 1) leading market positions; 2) high cash flow generative businesses with attractive returns on capital; and 3) high barriers to entry,

such as regulatory approvals or significant required initial investments in infrastructure or intellectual property. Overall, in the course of our credit analysis, we look for appropriately capitalized industry leaders with characteristics that may better enable the businesses to weather economic cycles.

  2    The Barclays U.S. High-Yield Loans Index provides broad and comprehensive total return metrics of the universe of syndicated term loans. To be included in the index, a bank loan must be dollar denominated, have at least $150 million, a minimum term of one year, and a minimum initial spread of LIBOR+125. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  3    The method of calculation of the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the last 30 days of the period by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period.

The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standard Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Credit Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of total return consisting of capital appreciation and income that exceeds the total return of the Barclays U.S. Credit Index.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Credit Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Institutional, IR and Separate Account Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -2.62%, -2.46%, -2.50% and -2.46%, respectively. These returns compare to the -2.74% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Credit Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

Q   What economic and market factors most influenced the investment grade credit market as a whole during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The investment grade corporate bond market declined overall during the Reporting Period. After strong performance early in the second quarter of 2013, when the Reporting Period began, investment grade corporate bonds sold off during June 2013 in response to indications from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) that it would taper its quantitative easing program if economic data strengthened. Investment grade credit spreads, or the difference in yields between corporate bonds and duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities, widened by 13 basis points to end the second calendar quarter at 152 basis points. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) European investment grade corporate bonds outperformed U.S. investment grade corporate bonds, as investors digested the possibility of a reduction in the Fed’s asset purchases. In Europe, a loss of momentum in manufacturing, slowing inflation and weak lending growth contributed to a widespread belief that the European Central Bank would continue its easing measures.

 

    During the third quarter of 2013, investment grade corporate bonds rebounded somewhat. Investment grade credit spreads tightened by 11 basis points, ending the Reporting Period at 141 basis points. European investment grade corporate bonds outperformed U.S. investment grade corporate bonds, largely in response to European economic data that exceeded expectations. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy hit a soft patch.

 

    Issuance was strong during the Reporting Period as a whole. In the second quarter of 2013, U.S. new issuance was approximately $188 billion, and European new issuance was approximately $108 billion. In the third calendar quarter, U.S. new issuance was approximately $230 billion, and European new issuance was approximately $123 billion. For 2013 through September 30, 2013, U.S. new issuance totaled approximately $653 billion, and European new issuance totaled approximately $383 billion. The largest corporate debt offering on record took place during the Reporting Period, as Verizon sold $49 billion of bonds on orders by investors of nearly double that amount.1

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Issue selection amongst investment grade corporate bonds was most responsible for the Fund’s relative outperformance during the Reporting Period. Our cross-sector strategy also enhanced relative returns. In our cross-sector strategy, we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning contributed positively to relative results as well. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

 

    There were no meaningful detractors from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period.

Q   Which segments of investment grade credit most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Individual issue selection of investment grade corporate bonds added to the Fund’s relative returns. In terms of sector positioning, the Fund benefited from select investments in the investment grade corporate bonds of industrial companies. The Fund’s underweight in the highest credit quality investment grade corporate bonds also added to relative performance.

 

Q   Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning enhanced relative performance during the Reporting Period. We tactically adjusted the Fund’s duration position relative to the Index during the Reporting Period, shifting as we deemed necessary between a short duration bias and a long duration bias. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had a short duration bias. Ten-year U.S. Treasury security yields increased from 1.85% at the beginning of the Reporting Period to 2.61% at the end of the Reporting Period. Yields of 30-year U.S. Treasury securities started the Reporting Period at 3.10% and ended the Reporting Period at 3.69%.

 

Q   How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures to hedge interest rate exposure and facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Interest rate swaps were used to express our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. The Fund employed interest rate swaps and swaptions (options on interest rate swap contracts) to hedge interest rate exposure and express an outright term structure view (term structure, most often depicted as a yield curve, refers to the term structure of interest rates, which is the relationship between the yield to maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds). In addition, it used credit default swaps to implement specific credit-related investment strategies and hedge corporate spread duration (the price sensitivity of a corporate bond to a 100 basis point change in its spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). It utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge currency exposure.

 

Q   Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Following very strong performance early in the Reporting Period, we decreased the Fund’s position in investment grade corporate bonds during May 2013. In early June 2013, we further decreased the Fund’s position, adopting an underweight in investment grade corporate bonds, because we saw more attractive opportunities in other asset classes. In late June 2013, we increased the Fund’s holdings of investment grade corporate bonds as investment grade credit spreads tightened. In late August 2013, we reduced the Fund’s overweight position in investment grade corporate bonds because we believed there would be increased volatility in response to the uncertainty about Syria, identity of the next Fed chairman, possibility of Fed tapering, U.S. budget negotiations, softer economic data, weaker corporate earnings and large amounts of new corporate issuance. During September 2013, as uncertainty lessened, we increased the Fund’s overweight in investment grade corporate bonds, ending the Reporting Period with a small overweight position overall. Also, during the Reporting Period, we established a position in high quality, long-dated municipal bonds, as prior underperformance of the sector drove valuations to what we considered to be attractive levels.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and banking. The Fund was also overweight communications, transportation and natural gas utilities. Compared to the Index, the Fund was underweight consumer non-cyclical sectors, capital goods and technology. In terms of maturities, we generally favored lower credit-quality issues and intermediate maturities.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

Q   What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we were targeting an overweighted position relative to the Index in investment grade corporate bonds, mainly due to our positive outlook for U.S. economic growth and expectations for Fed policy continuity. We also believed global risks, such as military intervention in Syria, had diminished. In our opinion, underlying corporate fundamentals remained solid, with most companies enjoying high profit margins and healthy cash balances. Furthermore, we believe a shortage of high quality assets should support demand for investment grade corporate bonds. Nonetheless, we remain cautious because leveraged buyouts and shareholder-friendly activities are increasing. At the end of Reporting Period, we favored issues lower on the credit quality spectrum and credits in the intermediate part of the yield curve, primarily because of our view on their attractive valuations.

  1    The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

 

  2    The Barclays U.S. Credit Index is an unmanaged index which is unbundled into pure corporates (industrial, utility, and finance, including both U.S. and non-U.S. corporations) and non-corporates (sovereign, supranational, foreign agencies, and foreign local governments). The index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  3    The method of calculation of the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the last 30 days of the period by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standard Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 3.75% for Class A Shares. Prior to July 29, 2009, the maximum initial sales charge applicable to Class A Shares was 4.5%, which is not reflected in the average annual total return figures shown. Because Institutional, Separate Account Institutional and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

 

The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Goldman Sachs Local Emerging

Markets Debt Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of total return consisting of income and capital appreciation.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -8.66%, -8.89%, -8.50% and -8.55%, respectively. These returns compare to the -7.44% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (GBI-EMSM) Global Diversified (Gross, USD, Unhedged) Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

Q   What economic and market factors most influenced local emerging markets debt as a whole during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, U.S. Treasury yields increased on improving U.S. economic data and on concern that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would taper its quantitative easing program. Faced with higher U.S. Treasury yields, investors re-assessed the attractiveness of local emerging markets debt and exited emerging market currencies in favor of the U.S. dollar. Local emerging markets debt recorded a negative return during the Reporting Period, driven by changes in local interest rates and currency depreciation. Emerging markets currencies, as represented by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Local Markets Plus (ELMI+) Index, returned -1.92%. Among countries, on a total market-value weighted basis, the weakest performers (in U.S. dollar terms1) during the Reporting Period were Indonesia (-26.18%), Turkey (-13.44%) and Brazil (-9.72%). The top performers were Hungary (+12.67%), Poland (+4.30%) and Romania (+10.15%).

 

1    All regional and market returns are in U.S. dollar terms (unless otherwise specified), are based on country-specific stock market indices and reflect the reinvestment of any dividends if applicable.

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period, primarily as a result of our active currency management, through which the Fund invests in local currencies (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and bonds denominated in local currencies). Our sector positioning also detracted from Fund returns. The Fund benefited from country and issue selection among local currency denominated bonds and external emerging markets debt.

 

Q   Which segments of local emerging markets debt most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s holdings of Brazilian local debt detracted from relative returns. Brazilian economic growth fell short of forecasts during the first quarter of 2013, increasing just 0.6% versus expectations of 0.9% — the ninth consecutive quarter of below-trend growth. At the same time, inflation remained high, leading Brazil’s central bank to start hiking interest rates. Large protests about government services also contributed to the underperformance of Brazilian local debt during the Reporting Period. In addition, the Fund was hampered — especially during the second quarter of 2013 when the Reporting Period began — by its investments in Mexican local debt. An investment in the Mexican peso and an overweight in the Indian rupee, both positions accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, also detracted from relative results. The Mexican peso and the Indian rupee depreciated significantly during the second calendar quarter on concern the Fed might reduce its quantitative easing measures.

 

34


PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

    On the positive side, the Fund’s underweight in Indonesian local debt enhanced relative performance during the Reporting Period. Indonesian local debt underperformed, especially during the third quarter of 2013 when it posted the lowest returns in the Index for each of the three months. Economic data fueled the weakness, as Indonesia’s already large current account deficit had widened further during the second calendar quarter. Also, during the Reporting Period, the Fund’s holdings of South Korean local debt added to relative returns, especially early in the Reporting Period. As Polish local debt underperformed during the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from an underweight position. In addition, the Fund’s overweight in the South Korean won, accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, contributed positively as the South Korean won appreciated during April and early May 2013.

 

Q   Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund does not use duration and yield curve positioning as active management strategies within its investment process.

 

Q   How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund invested in U.S. Treasury futures, Eurodollar futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, total return swaps and credit linked notes. U.S. Treasury futures were used to manage U.S. interest rate duration. Eurodollar futures were used to express our views on the direction of interest rates and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were used for hedging purposes or to express a positive view on a given currency. Interest rate swaps were used to express our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. Credit default swaps were used to implement specific credit-related investment strategies. Total return swaps and credit linked notes were used in place of buying a local currency denominated bond when a particular market was otherwise inaccessible or as a more efficient means of gaining access to a local market.

 

Q   Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, we shifted the Fund from neutral positions relative to the Index in Colombian and Mexican local debt to overweight positions. We increased the Fund’s overweight in Brazilian local debt and increased its underweight in Malaysian local debt. We increased the Fund’s underweight in South Korean local debt so it was significantly underweight by the end of the Reporting Period. At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund had an overweight relative to the Index in Russian local debt, which we reduced to an underweight by the end of the Reporting Period.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we saw attractive opportunities in Latin American local debt and had positioned the Fund with overweights in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. We also favored Brazilian inflation linked bonds. In our opinion, Brazil offers the highest real interest rates (the rate of interest an investor can expect to receive after allowing for inflation) in the world. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was underweight in Asian local debt because we considered it expensive relative to the local debt of other regions. The Fund’s largest overweight position at the end of the Reporting Period was in the Dominican peso, which we accomplished through investments in Dominican local debt. The Fund also had investments in the Russian ruble and Mexican peso, accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

Q   What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

 

A   Relative to emerging markets nations’ management of interest rates, we believe the process has undergone a structural shift during the last decade. Historically, emerging markets countries tended to follow pro-cyclical monetary policies in which they tightened liquidity during times of stress in order to prevent currency depreciation. However, because most emerging markets nations have pursued what we believe are sound economic policies in recent years and have benefited from strong economic growth, we believe they are in a position to follow counter-cyclical monetary policies. In our view, overall, their yields are more sensitive to developed market interest rates than to the behavior of the credit markets. As such, we believe local currency denominated bonds offer attractive risk profiles.

 

    Over the medium term, we expect the performance of local emerging markets debt to be supported by currency appreciation. We base this view on the strong divergence in real Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth between the emerging markets and the mature markets as well as on expected continuing net investment inflows to emerging markets countries. In our opinion, current account balances and foreign direct investment flows into emerging markets regions — despite some outflows during the second quarter of 2013 — should remain robust. We believe emerging markets currencies are undervalued, which makes a compelling long-term case, in our view, for currency exposure through investment in unhedged local debt.

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Institutional, IR and Separate Account Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of -1.10%, -0.83%, -0.98% and -0.84%, respectively. These returns compare to the -0.92% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Securitized Bond Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

Q   What economic and market factors most influenced the U.S. mortgage markets as a whole during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the second quarter of 2013 when the Reporting Period began, the mortgage-backed securities market declined. One of the key drivers of the underperformance was Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chair Ben Bernanke’s implication that the Fed would start reducing its quantitative easing program in 2013, sooner than expected. In the third calendar quarter, mortgage-backed securities retraced some of their losses on positive economic data and on the Fed’s announcement in September 2013 that it would not yet taper quantitative easing.

 

Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, our cross-sector strategy contributed positively to relative performance overall. In our cross-sector strategy, we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. The Fund’s yield curve and duration strategy also added to relative returns during the Reporting Period. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

    Detracting was our bottom-up individual issue selection among government securities and agency mortgage-backed securities.

 

Q   Which segments of the U.S. mortgage-backed securities sector most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Our bottom-up individual issue selection among government securities and agency mortgage-backed securities hampered the Fund’s relative performance during the Reporting Period. In particular, the Fund’s overweight in U.S. Treasury securities dampened returns, as yields increased during May, June and July 2013. Also, during May 2013, the Fund’s underweighted exposure relative to the Index in higher coupon agency mortgage-backed securities (i.e., those with higher interest rates) detracted from relative performance. In addition, the Fund’s investments in agency multi-family mortgage-backed securities hurt returns. During September 2013, agency multi-family mortgage-backed securities lagged most other spread (or non-government) sectors of the fixed income market. They also underperformed agency single-family mortgage-backed securities after the Fed announced in mid-September 2013 that it would not yet taper its quantitative easing program.

 

    On the positive side, our sector positioning enhanced relative returns. More specifically, the Fund benefited from our tactical shifts of its weightings in mortgage-backed securities throughout June 2013, as spreads (or yield differentials) between mortgage-backed securities and comparable maturity U.S. Treasuries widened and tightened. In addition, the Fund’s overweighted position in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities added to results, led by particularly strong performance during April 2013.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

Q   Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy contributed positively to relative performance during the Reporting Period. In April 2013, the Fund’s underweight in the seven-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve dampened performance as interest rates declined. This was more than offset in August 2013 when the Fund was underweight the 10-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve and interest rates increased.

 

Q   How did the Fund use derivatives and similar instruments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund used U.S. Treasury futures to hedge interest rate exposure and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. It used Eurodollar futures to express our views on the direction of interest rates and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Interest rate swaps were used to hedge interest rate exposure and express an outright term structure view. (Term structure, most often depicted as a yield curve, refers to the terms structure of interest rates, which is the relationship between the yield to the maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds.) The Fund uses mortgage-backed securities forward agreements (known as “TBAs”) to efficiently manage certain of its mortgage-backed securities positions. It used swaptions to hedge volatility and yield curve risks in the Fund and/or to express tactical views on rate markets. The Fund also employed derivatives contracts called CMBX, which reference the performance of a list of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), to help us express the Fund’s marginal overweight to the CMBS sector.

 

Q   Were there any notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Because of uncertainty about the future of the Fed’s quantitative easing program, we shifted the Fund from a significantly short duration bias relative to the Index at the beginning of the Reporting Period to a less short duration bias by the end of the Reporting Period. Over the course of the Reporting Period, we moved the Fund from a modest underweight relative to the Index in agency mortgage- backed securities to a neutral position, expressed through an overweight in agency multi-family mortgage-backed securities and an underweight in pass-through mortgage securities. (Pass-through mortgage securities consist of a pool of residential mortgage loans, where homeowners’ monthly payments of principal, interest and prepayments pass from the original bank through a government agency or investment bank to investors.) At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund had an underweight position in par coupon securities (securities with a price that is close to par). However, we shifted to an overweighted allocation to these securities relative to the Index at the end of the Reporting Period, as the Fed continued to support these coupons and as interest rate movements supported their relative value, in our view.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in CMBS. It was underweight compared to the Index in pass-through mortgage securities, asset-backed securities and residential mortgage-backed securities. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund also had positions in agency collateralized mortgage obligations and government securities, which are not represented in the Index.

 

Q   What is the Fund’s tactical view and strategy for the months ahead?

 

A   In the months ahead, we expect to remain neutral relative to the Index in the Fund’s allocation to agency mortgage- backed securities. At the end of the Reporting Period, we favored agency multi-family mortgage-backed securities because, in our opinion, their agency backing, coupled with prepayment protection on the underlying loans, results in a high credit quality investment with stable expected cash flows. Relative to coupon selection, we plan to maintain the Fund’s underweight in higher coupons, as we believe they are most susceptible to increased prepayment risk. We remained constructive on non-agency mortgage-backed securities because of improving housing fundamentals and their relatively wide spreads compared to U.S. Treasuries. We favored short duration, high-quality CMBS, which offered attractive relative value, in our view, at the end of the Reporting Period. In addition, we had a positive outlook on collateralized loan obligations and Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) asset-backed securities.

  1    The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the class of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

 

  2    The Barclays U.S. Securitized Bond Index (with dividends reinvested) is an unmanaged composite of asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities and fixed rate mortgage-backed securities. The index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  3    The method of calculation of the 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield is mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is determined by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the last 30 days of the period by the maximum public offering price (“POP”) per share on the last day of the period. This number is then annualized. The 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. This yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, may not be correlated with the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.
The 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Standard Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

    Separate Account Institutional     -0.31      5.81   4.60   11/3/03

 

  4    The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns as of the most recent calendar quarter-end. They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 3.75% for Class A Shares. Prior to July 29, 2009, the maximum initial sales charge applicable to Class A Shares was 4.5%, which is not reflected in the average annual return figures shown. Because Institutional, Separate Account Institutional and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

 

The returns set forth in the tables above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Please visit our web site at www.GSAMFUNDS.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

  Senior Term Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility at September 30, 2013. Senior Term Loans typically have rates of interest which are predetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.

(a)

  Senior Term Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the senior loan facility at September 30, 2013. Senior Term Loans typically have rates of interest which are predetermined either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a base lending rate, plus a premium. These base lending rates are primarily the London-Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”) and the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base lending rates used by commercial lenders.

(b)

  Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, such securities have been determined to be liquid by the investment adviser and may be resold, normally to qualified institutional buyers in transactions exempt from registration. Total market value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $186,630,393, which represents approximately 6.7% of net assets as of September 30, 2013.

  (a)   Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology.
  (b)   Assumes investment at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the net asset value at the end of the period and no sales or redemption charges. Total returns would be reduced if a sales or redemption charge was taken into account. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized.
  (c)   The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements, without regard to transactions involving short term investments and certain derivatives. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.
  (d)   Annualized.
  (e)   Portfolio turnover rates exclude portfolio securities received as a result of in-kind subscriptions.

Class B Shares were sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that declines from 5.00% to zero, depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class C Shares are sold with a CDSC of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Separate Account Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares are not subject to a sales charge.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

A.  Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income and dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as soon as such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date. Realized gains and losses are calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Any foreign capital gains tax is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investments.

For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected as such in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as gains or losses. For treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

C.  Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses of each Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agent and Service and Shareholder Administration fees. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the respective Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses.

D.  Offering and Organization Costs — Offering costs paid in connection with the offering of shares of Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations. Organization costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund were expensed on the first day of operations.

E.  Redemption Fees — A 2% redemption fee will be imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) held for 60 calendar days or less with respect to the High Yield Fund and 30 calendar days or less with respect to the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Emerging Markets Debt and Local Emerging Markets Debt Funds. For this purpose, the Funds use a first-in first-out method so that shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest will be treated as being redeemed last. Redemption fees are reimbursed to a Fund and are reflected as a reduction in share redemptions. Redemption fees are credited to Paid-in Capital and are allocated to each share class of a Fund on a pro-rata basis.

F.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly, and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.

Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal 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 gains distributions.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

G.  Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records and reporting currency of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates at the close of each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included within net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Changes in the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates are included in the Statements of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the date the transaction occurred, the effects of which are included within net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

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). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility and credit spreads), either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including GSAM’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

The Trustees have adopted Valuation Procedures that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Trustees have delegated to GSAM day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

A.  Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:

Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. 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 fair value. With the exception of treasury securities, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

i.  Inverse Floaters — The interest rate on inverse floating rate securities (“inverse floaters”) resets in the opposite direction from the market rate of interest to which the inverse floaters are indexed. An inverse floater may be considered to be leveraged to the extent that its interest rate varies by a magnitude that exceeds the magnitude of the change in the index rate of interest. The higher the degree of leverage of an inverse floater, the greater the volatility of its market value.

ii.  Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real estate property. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of other assets or receivables. The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers.

Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral.

Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two different classes: one that receives substantially all interest payments (interest-only, or “IO” and/or high coupon rate with relatively low principal amount, or “IOette”), and the other that receives substantially all principal payments (principal-only, or “PO”) from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no

 

142

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

principal will be received at the maturity of an IO; as a result, periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income.

iii.  Mortgage Dollar Rolls — Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions whereby a Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar securities on a specified future date. During the settlement period, a Fund will not be entitled to accrue interest and receive principal payments on the securities sold.

iv.  Senior Term Loans — Senior term loans (“Loans”) are interests in amounts owed by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers to lenders or lending syndicates. Loans are arranged through private negotiations between the borrower and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”). A Fund’s investments in Loans are in the form of either participations in Loans (“Participations”) or assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third parties (“Assignments”). With respect to Participations, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the Lender selling the Participations and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. A Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement. As a result, a Fund will be exposed to the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender. Conversely, Assignments result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and a Fund may enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

The High Yield and High Yield Floating Rate Funds may also enter into certain credit arrangements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. Unfunded loan commitments represent the remaining obligation of a Fund to the borrower. A Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit of a Loan. All Loans and unfunded loan commitments involve interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk, including the potential default or insolvency of the borrower. Loans, including unfunded loan commitments, are marked to market daily using pricing vendor quotations and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss.

v.  Treasury Inflation Protected Securities — TIPS are treasury securities in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

vi.  Structured Notes — The values of structured notes are based on the price movements of a reference security or index. Upon termination, a Fund will receive a payment from the issuer based on the value of the referenced security (notional amount multiplied by price of the referenced security) and record a realized gain or loss.

vii.  When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments — When-issued securities, including TBA (“To Be Announced”) securities, are securities that are authorized but not yet issued in the market and purchased in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price or yield to a Fund. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Although a Fund will generally purchase securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of when-issued securities or forward commitments prior to settlement which may result in a realized gain or loss.

Equity Securities — Equity securities and investment companies traded on a United States (“U.S.”) securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If no sale occurs, equity securities and exchange traded investment companies are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the NAV on the valuation date. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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. Securities traded on certain foreign securities exchanges are valued daily at fair value

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

determined by an independent fair value service (if available) under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees and consistent with applicable regulatory guidance. The independent fair value service takes into account multiple factors including, but not limited to, movements in the securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign currency exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign securities exchange. These investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures contracts, typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

i.  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — In a forward foreign currency contract, a Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward rate.

ii.  Futures Contracts — Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standardized quantity of a specified commodity or security and are valued based on exchanged settlement prices or independent market quotes. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price, or in the absence of a sale, the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions, at the end of each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund deposits cash or securities in an account on behalf of the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses.

iii.  Non-Deliverable Bond Forwards — A non-deliverable bond forward is a short term forward contract between two parties to buy or sell a bond denominated in a non-deliverable foreign currency at a specified future time and price. Non-deliverable bond forwards are marked-to-market daily using market quotations. Unrealized gains or losses on non-deliverable bond forwards are recorded by a Fund on a daily basis, and realized gains or losses are recorded on the termination date or sale of a contract.

iv.  Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts. Options on a futures contract may be written with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.

Upon the purchase of a call option or a put option by a Fund, the premium paid is recorded as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.

v.  Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which a Fund and a counterparty agree to exchange periodic payments on a specified notional amount or make a net payment upon termination. Bilateral swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between a Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing. These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty

 

144


GOLDMAN SACHS SINGLE SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

(“CCP”) (“centrally cleared swaps”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. Swaps are marked-to-market daily using pricing vendor quotations, counterparty or clearinghouse prices or model prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a swap contract, a Fund is required to satisfy an initial margin requirement by delivering cash or securities to the counterparty (or in some cases, segregated in a triparty account on behalf of the counterparty), which can be adjusted by any mark-to-market gains or losses pursuant to bilateral or centrally cleared arrangements. For centrally cleared swaps the daily change in valuation, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin.

An interest rate swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals, based upon or calculated by reference to changes in interest rates on a specified notional principal amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

A credit default swap is an agreement that involves one party (the buyer of protection) making a stream of payments to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive protection on a reference security or obligation. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. If a Fund buys protection through a credit default swap and no credit event occurs, its payments are limited to the periodic payments previously made to the counterparty. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is entitled to receive an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver to the seller the defaulted reference obligation in a physically settled trade. A Fund may also receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in cash settled trade.

As a seller of protection, a Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if a Fund sells protection through a credit default swap, a Fund could suffer a loss because the value of the referenced obligation may be less than the premium payments received. Upon the occurrence of a specified credit event, a Fund, as a seller of credit protection, may be required to take possession of the defaulted reference obligation and pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap in a physically settled trade. A Fund may also pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap reduced by the recovery value of the reference obligation in cash settled trade. Recovery values are at times established through the credit event auction process in which market participants are ensured that a transparent price has been set for the defaulted security or obligation. In addition, a Fund is entitled to a return of any assets, which have been pledged as collateral to the counterparty.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from a settlement of a credit default swap for the same reference security or obligation where a Fund bought credit protection.

Short Term Investments — Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under triparty repurchase agreements.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“netting”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. ASU 2011-11 was amended by ASU No. 2013-01, clarifying which investments and transactions are subject to the netting disclosure. The scope of the

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

disclosure requirements is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. This information is intended to enable users of the Funds’ financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the Funds’ financial position. The ASU is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds adopted the disclosure requirement of netting for the current reporting period. Since these amended principles only require additional disclosures concerning offsetting and related arrangements, adoption did not affect the Funds’ financial condition or result of operations.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

A MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. A MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. A MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty.

If the seller defaults, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund are less than the repurchase price and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, a court could determine that a Fund’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable resulting in additional losses to the Fund.

At September 30, 2013, the Funds’ investment in a repurchase agreement was subject to enforceable MRAs. The repurchase agreement on a net basis was as follows:

Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and terms and conditions contained therein, the Funds, together with other funds of the Trust and registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Under these joint accounts, the Funds maintain pro-rata credit exposure to the underlying repurchase agreements’ counterparties. With the exception of certain transaction fees, the Funds are not subject to any expenses in relation to these investments.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that the aforementioned significant inputs are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees. GSAM, consistent with its procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events which could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events which could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations or third party pricing vendors such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

Such amounts do not include incremental charges directly associated with the close-out of the agreements. They also do not reflect the fair value of any assets pledged as collateral which, through the daily margining process, substantially offsets the aforementioned amounts and for which the Fund is entitled to a full return.

The following tables set forth, by certain risk types, the Funds’ gains (losses) related to these derivatives and their indicative volumes for the six months ended September 30, 2013. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to economically hedge certain investments, and accordingly, certain gains (losses) on such derivative contracts may offset certain (losses) gains attributable to investments. These gains (losses) are included in “Net realized gain (loss)” or “Net change in unrealized gain (loss)” on the Statements of Operations:

(a)   Average number of contracts is based on the average of month end balances for the six months ended September 30, 2013.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign exchange contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and OTC derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (financial futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to governing agreements for those instrument types. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives (foreign currency exchange contracts, options and certain swaps). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, a Fund may be required to post additional collateral to the counterparty in the form of initial margin, the terms of which would be outlined in the confirmation of the OTC transaction.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. A Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Additionally, the netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received are based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements. However, in the event of a default or insolvency of a counterparty, a court could determine that such rights are not enforceable due the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed due to a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

The following tables set forth the Funds’ net exposure for derivative instruments that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of September 30, 2013:

B.  Distribution and Service Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, Goldman Sachs, which serves as distributor (the “Distributor”), is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, for distribution services and personal and account maintenance services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers, at the following annual rates calculated on a Fund’s average daily net assets of each respective share class:

Service Plan

             0.25         0.25           

 

*   With respect to Class A and Class R Shares, the Distributor at its discretion may use compensation for distribution services paid under the Distribution Plan to compensate service organizations for personal and account maintenance services and expenses as long as such total compensation does not exceed the maximum cap on “service fees” imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

C.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, may retain a portion of the Class A front end sales charge and Class B and Class C Shares’ CDSC.

D.  Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Service Shares, has adopted a Service Plan and a Shareholder Administration Plan.

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales and differences related to the tax treatment of swap transactions, material modification of debt securities.

GSAM has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three years, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

 

8. OTHER RISKS

The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

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.

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.

Liquidity Risk — The Funds may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that a Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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 transactions 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 — Each of the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, each 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.

Portfolio Concentration Risk — As a result of certain of the Funds’ ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Funds’ investments more than if their investments were not so concentrated.

Redemption Proceeds Risk — The High Yield Floating Rate Fund may at times purchase securities with settlement periods that are longer than the time period required to pay redemption proceeds. In unusual circumstances, the High Yield Floating Rate Fund may pay redemption proceeds up to seven calendar days following receipt of a properly executed redemption request.

 

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

10. OTHER MATTERS

On August 15, 2013, a definitive proxy statement (“proxy”) was filed with the SEC to, among other things, elect certain Trustees to the Trust. The Funds will amortize their respective share of the proxy, shareholder meeting and other related costs and GSAM has agreed to reimburse each Funds to the extent such expenses exceed a specified percentage of the Fund’s net assets.

 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2013 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service, Separate Account Institutional, Class IR or Class R Shares of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments (with respect to Class A Shares), contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class B and Class C Shares), and redemption fees (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R Shares); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional, Service, Separate Account Institutional, Class IR or Class R Shares of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 (May 31, 2013 for Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund) through September 30, 2013.

Actual Expenses — The first line under each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line under each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

GOLDMAN SACHS SINGLE SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

 

Background

The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt, Goldman Sachs High Yield, Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate, Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Credit, Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt and Goldman Sachs U.S. Mortgages Funds (the “Funds”) are investment portfolios of Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”). The Board of Trustees oversees the management of the Trust and reviews the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held during the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.

The Management Agreement was most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2014 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), at a meeting held on June 12-13, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”).

The review process undertaken by the Trustees spans the course of the year and culminates with the Annual Meeting. To assist the Trustees in their deliberations, the Trustees have established a Contract Review Committee (the “Committee”), comprised of the Independent Trustees. The Committee held four meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreement was last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings and/or the Annual Meeting, the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable, considered matters relating to the Management Agreement, including:

  (a)   the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative and other services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including information about:
  (i)   the structure, staff and capabilities of the Investment Adviser and its portfolio management teams;
  (ii)   the groups within the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that support the portfolio management teams or provide other types of necessary services, including fund services groups (e.g., accounting and financial reporting, tax, shareholder services and operations), controls and risk management groups (e.g., legal, compliance, valuation oversight, credit risk management, internal audit, compliance testing, market risk analysis, finance and strategy and central funding), sales and distribution support groups and others (e.g., information technology and training);
  (iii)   trends in headcount;
  (iv)   the Investment Adviser’s financial resources and ability to hire and retain talented personnel and strengthen its operations; and
  (v)   the parent company’s support of the Investment Adviser and its mutual fund business, as expressed by the firm’s senior management;
  (b)   information on the investment performance of the Funds (except for the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund, which commenced operations in 2013), including comparisons to the performance of similar mutual funds, as provided by a third party mutual fund data provider engaged as part of the contract review process (the “Outside Data Provider”), benchmark performance indices, and comparable institutional composites managed by the Investment Adviser (in the case of the Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds), and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Funds invest;
  (c)   the terms of the Management Agreement and agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Funds;
  (d)   expense information for the Funds, including:
  (i)   the relative management fee and expense levels of the Funds as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;

  (n)   the Investment Adviser’s processes and policies addressing various types of potential conflicts of interest; its approach to risk management; the annual review of the effectiveness of the Funds’ compliance program; and periodic compliance reports.

The Trustees also received an overview of the Funds’ distribution arrangements. They received information regarding the Funds’ assets, share purchase and redemption activity and the payment of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees by the Funds and the payment of non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service and/or administration fees by the High Yield Fund’s Service Shares. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution and/or servicing of Fund shares.

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual fund portfolios for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreement at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser, its affiliates, their services and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities and other regulatory requirements related to the approval and continuation of mutual fund investment management agreements under applicable law. In addition, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates provided the Independent Trustees with a written response to a formal request for information sent on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. During the course of their deliberations, the Independent Trustees met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, without representatives of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates present. The Independent Trustees also discussed the broad range of other investment choices that are available to Fund investors, including the availability of comparable funds managed by other advisers.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided Under the Management Agreement

As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Adviser’s portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Adviser. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Adviser would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Adviser.

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund (with the exception of the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund, which commenced operations in 2013) to its peers using rankings and ratings (rankings only for the High Yield Floating Rate Fund) compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2012, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2013. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates, to the extent that each Fund had been in existence for those periods. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance over time (including on a year-by-year basis) relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions. The Trustees also received information comparing the Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds’ performance to that of comparable institutional composites managed by the Investment Adviser.

In addition, the Trustees considered materials prepared and presentations made by the Investment Adviser’s senior management and portfolio management personnel, in which Fund performance was assessed. The Trustees also considered the Investment Adviser’s periodic reports with respect to the Funds’ risk profiles, and how the Investment Adviser’s approach to risk monitoring and management influences portfolio management.

The Independent Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s Class A Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2013. The Trustees observed that the High Yield Fund’s Class A Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the three-year period, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2013. The Trustees noted that the High Yield Floating Rate Fund’s Class A Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2013. They noted that the Investment Grade Credit Fund’s Class A Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods and underperformed for the five-year period ended March 31, 2013. They observed that that Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s Class A Shares had placed in the third quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one- and three-year periods, and in the fourth quartile for the five-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period and underperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2013. The Trustees also noted that the Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund had certain significant differences from its peer group and/or benchmark index that caused the peer group and/or benchmark index to be an imperfect basis for performance comparison. They noted that the U.S. Mortgages Fund’s Class A Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2013. They also noted the addition of a key hire to the Investment Adviser’s staff in 2012.

The Trustees noted that the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund had launched on May 31, 2013 and did not yet have a meaningful performance history.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreement and the fee rates payable by each Fund thereunder. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Adviser to the Funds, which included both advisory and administrative services that were directed to the needs and operations of the Funds as registered mutual funds.

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds (except for the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund, which commenced operations in 2013). The analyses provided a comparison of the Funds’ management fees and breakpoints to those of relevant peer groups and category universes; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and a five-year history (or, in the case of Funds that commenced investment operations within a shorter period, since the year in which it commenced operations) comparing each Fund’s net expenses to the peer and category medians. The analyses also compared each Fund’s transfer agency, custody, and distribution fees, other expenses and fee waivers/reimbursements to those of the peer group and category medians. The Trustees concluded that the comparisons provided by the Outside Data Provider were useful in evaluating the reasonableness of the management fees and total expenses paid by the Funds.

In addition, the Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to waive a portion of the management fees payable by the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds and to limit certain expenses of each of the Funds that exceed specified levels. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the Investment Grade Credit and U.S. Mortgages Funds that would have the effect of increasing total Fund expenses, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Funds’ next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages institutional accounts or collective investment vehicles having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Adviser to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to institutional accounts, which generally operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, were less time-intensive and paid lower fees.

In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if they believe that the Fund fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.

Profitability

The Trustees reviewed the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins with respect to the Trust and each of the Funds (except for the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund, which commenced operations in 2013). In this regard the Trustees noted that they had received, among other things, profitability analyses and summaries, revenue and expense schedules by Fund and by function (i.e., investment management, transfer agency and distribution and service) and the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Adviser for many internal purposes, including compensation decisions among various business groups, and are thus subject to a vigorous internal debate about how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. The Trustees also reviewed the report of the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization, which included an assessment of the reasonableness and consistency of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and an evaluation of the accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund (except for the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund) were provided for 2012 and 2011, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Adviser’s overall profitability. The Trustees considered the Investment Adviser’s revenues and pre-tax profit margins both in absolute terms and in comparison to information on the reported pre-tax profit margins earned by certain other asset management firms.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the information that had been provided regarding the Investment Adviser’s profitability. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreement for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:

Next $3 billion     0.81        0.72        0.63        0.51        0.34        0.81        0.34   
Next $3 billion     0.77        0.68        0.60        0.50        0.33        0.77        0.33

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were meant to share potential economies of scale, if any, with the Funds and their shareholders as assets under management reach those asset levels. The Trustees considered the amounts of assets in the Funds; the Funds’ recent share purchase and redemption activity; the information provided by the Investment Adviser relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to waive a portion of the management fees payable by the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds and to limit certain expenses of each of the Funds that exceed specified levels. Upon reviewing these matters at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the fee breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. They also noted that the Investment Adviser had passed along savings to shareholders of the High Yield Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.

Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”); (b) futures commissions earned by Goldman Sachs for executing futures transactions on behalf of the Funds; (c) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those for other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of its other clients; (e) the Investment Adviser’s ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (f) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (g) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of its other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (h) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Adviser and the Funds’ third party service providers may cause those service providers to be open to doing business with other areas of Goldman Sachs. In the course of considering the foregoing, the Independent Trustees requested and received further information quantifying certain of these fall-out benefits.

Other Benefits to the Funds and Their Shareholders

The Trustees also noted that the Funds receive certain potential benefits as a result of their relationship with the Investment Adviser, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Adviser; (b) improved servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) improved servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the Investment Adviser’s ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Adviser’s knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Adviser’s ability to hire and retain qualified personnel to provide services to the Funds because of the reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (g) the Funds’ access, through the Investment Adviser, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (h) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. The Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and noted further that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Adviser and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.

Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund

The Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund commenced investment operations on May 31, 2013, and the Trustees had considered, at a meeting held on April 17-18, 2013, the initial approval of the Management Agreement and the Investment Adviser on behalf of the Fund. At that meeting, the Trustees considered, in addition to many of the above factors, the Investment Adviser’s (and its affiliates’) ability to provide services to the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, although the Fund was new, many of the portfolio personnel who would be providing services to the Fund were currently providing services to other investment portfolios of the Trust. The Trustees reviewed performance information (along with representative advisory fee information) for accounts managed by the Investment Adviser with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Adviser would be able to provide quality services to the Fund.

The Trustees considered the management fee to be paid by the Fund, and the Fund’s anticipated total expenses, along with the Fund’s anticipated assets under management. They also considered a report prepared by the Outside Data Provider, which compared the Fund’s anticipated management fee and total expenses (both gross and get of the fee waiver and expense limitation arrangements) to those of a peer group and category median. The Trustees also noted the Investment Adviser’s undertakings to waive a portion of its management fee and limit certain expenses that exceed a specified level. They recognized that the Fund did not yet have profitability data to evaluate, but considered the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to provide such information after the Fund commenced operations. They reviewed the proposed breakpoints in the management fee schedule and concluded that the breakpoints represented a means of assuring that benefits of scalability, if any, would be passed along to shareholders at the specified asset levels. The Trustees also considered the fees to be paid to Goldman Sachs in its capacity as the Fund’s transfer agent and distributor, along with other fall-out benefits that would potentially be received by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates.

The Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the proposed management fee to be paid by the Fund would be reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser and the Fund’s reasonably foreseeable asset levels, and that the Management Agreement should be approved on behalf of the Fund.

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreement, the Trustees gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided, including the factors described above, the Trustees concluded, in the exercise of their business judgment, that the management fees paid by each of the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided to it by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Adviser’s costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Adviser’s continued management likely would benefit each Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreement should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2014.

Item 4(e)(1) — Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds of the Goldman Sachs Trust. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”) adopted by the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs Trust (“GST”) sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for GST may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the Audit Committee Chairman or the person designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the Policy. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.

De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by GST at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.

Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GST’s Investment Advisers. The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to GST, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GST’s investment advisers (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provide ongoing services to GST) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of GST.

Item 4(e)(2) – 0% of the audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees listed in Table 1 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. In addition, 0% of the non-audit services to the GST’s service affiliates listed in Table 2 were approved by GST’s Audit Committee pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

Item 4(f) – Not applicable.

Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure

The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST by PwC for the twelve months ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 were approximately $819,198 and $661,025 respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates by PwC for non-audit services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were approximately $10.0 million and $11.6 million respectively. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2012 and 2011 amounts include fees for non-audit services required to be pre-approved [see Table 2] and fees for non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to GST’s operations or financial reporting.

Item 4(h) — GST’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to GST’s investment adviser and service affiliates that did not require pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
