At a meeting held on June 15-16, 2016, the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust authorized the Portfolio to participate in a securities lending program under which the Bank of New York Mellon serves as securities lending agent.
Accordingly, effective on or about December 1, 2016, the Portfolios Prospectus is revised as follows:
The following replaces in their entirety the headnotes to the Investment Practices table under Investment Management ApproachOther Investment Practices and Securities in the Portfolios Prospectus:
10 | Percent of total assets (including securities lending collateral) (italic type) |
10 | Percent of net assets (excluding borrowings for investment purposes) (roman type) |
| No specific percentage limitation on usage; limited only by the objectives and strategies of the Fund |
The following replaces in its entirety the sixth paragraph under TaxationDistributions in the Portfolios Prospectus:
A percentage of the Portfolios dividends paid to corporate shareholders may be eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction. This percentage may, however, be reduced as a result of the Portfolios securities lending activities or high portfolio turnover rate. The character and tax status of all distributions will be available to shareholders after the close of each calendar year.
The following is added to Appendix AAdditional Information on Portfolio Risks, Securities and TechniquesC. Portfolio Securities and Techniques in the Portfolios Prospectus:
Lending of Portfolio Securities. The Portfolio may engage in securities lending. Securities lending involves the lending of securities owned by the Portfolio to financial institutions such as certain broker-dealers including, as permitted by the SEC, Goldman Sachs. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government Securities or letters of credit in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral may be invested by the Portfolio in short-term investments, including registered and unregistered investment pools managed by the Investment Adviser, its affiliates or the Portfolios custodian and from which the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may receive fees. To the extent that cash collateral is so invested, such collateral will be subject to market depreciation or appreciation, and the Portfolio will be responsible for any loss that might result from its investment of the borrowers collateral. If the Investment Adviser determines to make securities loans, the value of the securities loaned may not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of
the total assets of the Portfolio (including the loan collateral). Loan collateral (including any investment of the collateral) is not subject to the percentage limitations described elsewhere in this Prospectus regarding investments in fixed income securities and cash equivalents.
The Portfolio may lend its securities to increase its income. The Portfolio may, however, experience delay in the recovery of its securities or incur a loss if the institution with which it has engaged in a portfolio loan transaction breaches its agreement with the Portfolio or becomes insolvent.
This Supplement should be retained with your Prospectus for future reference.
