GOLDMAN SACHS FIXED INCOME ALTERNATIVES FUNDS

 

What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’ Fixed Income

Macro Strategies Fund Investment Process?

 

The Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to generate long-term absolute return. Changes in global fixed income and currency markets have created opportunities for generating attractive returns through fixed income alternative and unconstrained investment strategies.

 

 

LOGO

 

Our investment process seeks to create excess returns by:

 

n   Adopting a global perspective to compare and contrast investment opportunities around the world

 

n   Employing eight specialist strategy teams that each conduct very detailed fundamental and quantitative research in their search for attractive investments

 

n   Capturing the value in the inherent diversification benefits among the different investment strategies

 

n   Using a disciplined risk-management approach to implement the strategy

We believe the following characteristics drive the implementation and execution of the Fund’s investment process:

 

LOGO

 

n   The Fund invests in a portfolio of fixed income, currency, and commodities in an attempt to generate returns different from traditional asset classes.

 

n   Alternative investments do not necessarily move in tandem with traditional asset classes, such as stocks, bonds and credit. By adding them to the portfolio the Fund seeks to enhance its overall risk/return profile of its investors.

 

LOGO

 

n   The Fund seeks to generate returns in up and down markets when asset classes are in or out of favor.

 

n   The Fund employs alternative investment techniques — such as hedging, leverage and shorting that may provide an opportunity for the Fund to achieve its goal of absolute returns.

 

LOGO

 

n   We have over 300 investment professionals covering multiple sectors of the global fixed income market who are focused on finding investment ideas for our portfolio.

 

n   The senior professionals on the team have an average of over 20 years of investment experience through multiple market cycles.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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 -0.57%, -0.91%, -0.34%, -0.45% and -0.68%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.30% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (“the Index”) during the same time period.

 

    Because the composition of the Index (e.g., short-term cash securities) is not comparable to the range of instruments in which the Fund may transact (e.g., various fixed income, currency and commodities instruments), references to the Index are for informational purposes only and are not an indication of how the Fund is managed.

 

Q   What economic and market factors most influenced the fixed income market as a whole during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the second quarter of 2016 when the Reporting Period began, spread, or non-government bond, sectors rallied on stabilization of commodities prices as well as on declining fears about slowing Chinese economic growth and the potential for a U.S. economic recession. Global interest rates broadly declined amid continued accommodative monetary policy from the world’s central banks. In the U.S., minutes from the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) April 2016 policy meeting, released in mid-May 2016, suggested to many observers that policymakers might raise interest rates in June 2016 if U.S. economic growth strengthened, employment data firmed and inflation rose toward the Fed’s 2% target. In early June 2016, however, the release of weak May 2016 employment data raised concerns about the health of the U.S. economy, pushing down market expectations of a Fed rate hike. Indeed, the Fed did not raise interest rates at its June 2016 policy meeting. In the last week of June 2016, the unexpected “leave” vote in the U.K. referendum on membership in the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, renewed investor uncertainty about the path of global economic growth. Spread sectors withstood the Brexit vote relatively well, selling off at first but then recovering most of their losses afterwards. The U.S. dollar strengthened versus most global currencies during the second calendar quarter, though it weakened against the Japanese yen.

 

   

During the third calendar quarter, spread sectors continued to advance. Overall, global interest rates remained low, as the world’s central banks remained broadly accommodative. In July 2016, however, the Fed’s policy statement was more hawkish than most observers expected, reflecting cautious optimism amid the market’s relatively muted reaction to the Brexit outcome and strengthening U.S. economic data. (Hawkish implies higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) The July 2016 U.S. non-farm payrolls report showed 255,000 new jobs were added, exceeding market expectations and countering a disappointing second quarter 2016 gross domestic product (“GDP”) report that showed growth of 1.2%. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) kept interest rates unchanged during July 2016. The Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, fell short of market expectations with the announcement of an equity purchase program and the lack of key monetary measures, such as an interest rate cut and increased government bond purchases. In August 2016, the Bank of England (“BoE”) unveiled a “timely, coherent and comprehensive package,” as described by Governor Mark Carney, which included a number of measures intended to help the U.K. economy navigate a post-Brexit environment. Although the ECB kept monetary policy unchanged during the month, the European and U.K. credit markets received technical, or supply/demand, support from the ongoing corporate bond purchases of central banks. In the

U.S., non-farm payroll gains moderated in August 2016 and manufacturing and services data weakened, but continued hawkish comments from the Fed boosted market expectations of a rate hike by the end of 2016. However, at its September 2016 policy meeting, the Fed kept short-term interest rates unchanged. In Japan, during September 2016, the BoJ announced a new “yield curve control” framework designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates. (Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.) During the third quarter of 2016, the U.S. dollar depreciated versus many world currencies.

 

    For the Reporting Period overall, high yield corporate bonds outperformed U.S. Treasuries by a double-digit margin, followed at some distance by sovereign emerging markets debt and investment grade corporate bonds. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities also outperformed U.S. Treasuries, albeit more modestly. The U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, flattened during the Reporting Period, as yields on maturities of less than four years rose and yields on maturities of four years and longer fell. The yield on the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury dropped approximately 17 basis points to end the Reporting Period at 1.59%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point. A flattening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows.)

 

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

 

A   The Fund seeks long-term absolute return through the implementation of relative value, long/short, absolute return, macro and other strategies that aim to exploit disparities or inefficiencies in the global fixed income, currency and commodities markets. Relative value strategy means to simultaneously take long and short positions within an investment portfolio. A long/short strategy seeks to produce returns with risk and volatility that are uncorrelated with general global market risk and volatility by simultaneously taking long and short exposures in approximately equal amounts. Absolute return is the return of an investment and is not relative to a benchmark. We believe absolute return performance may be uncorrelated to fixed income and equity markets over the long-term. The Fund may also employ a macro hedge to seek to mitigate the risk of market movements (either up or down), potentially enabling the Fund to pursue returns in a variety of market cycles. In addition, the Fund may use derivatives instead of buying and selling bonds to manage duration, to gain exposure to or to short individual securities, or to gain exposure to an index. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

    Investment ideas for the Fund are generated through our specialized top-down and bottom-up strategy teams, in the following areas: Tactical Duration; Country Relative Value; Fundamental Currency; Commodities; Sector Allocation; Government and Swaps; Liquid Mortgages; and Emerging Markets Debt.

 

    Derivatives are used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund. During the Reporting Period, the Fund underperformed the Index largely because of its Commodities and Fundamental Currency strategies. Within the Commodities strategy, the Fund’s losses were driven by its short positions in grains, natural gas and crude oil as well as by its long position in corn versus its short position in soybeans. The Commodities strategy uses a blend of commodity futures and options. Within the Fundamental Currency strategy, the Fund was hurt by its short positions in Asian currencies, including the South Korean won and the New Taiwan dollar, and by its long position in the Mexican peso. The Fundamental Currency strategy employs a mix of non-deliverable currency forwards, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and/or currency options.

 

   

Conversely, the Fund benefited during the Reporting Period from its Emerging Markets Debt strategy. More specifically, long positions in Brazilian and Colombian local debt added to results. Performance was primarily driven by the appreciation of the Brazilian real and the Colombian peso, respectively, versus the U.S. dollar. Other notable contributors were the Fund’s short positions in Turkish and Malaysian local debt and its long positions in Argentinian, Russian and Mexican local debt. The Fund was also helped by its short position in Lebanese external debt and its long position in Zambian external debt. The Emerging Markets Debt strategy is implemented using cross currency swaps. Within the Liquid Mortgages strategy, security selection and relative value positions in the coupon stack (i.e., across securities with different coupons) added to results. Agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed duration-neutral U.S. Treasuries during the Reporting Period, benefiting from low volatility and demand from both foreign investors and U.S. commercial banks looking for yield. The Liquid Mortgages strategy is implemented via agency securities, which may include mortgage-backed securities forward agreements (known as “TBAs”) as well as interest only and principal only strips.

(Strips are a type of security for which the holder is only entitled to receive regular cash flows derived from incoming interest payments or principal repayments on an underlying loan pool.) Within the Government and Swaps strategy, the Fund benefited from its short position in crude oil versus its long positions in Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”). The Fund also saw gains from its long positions in inflation-linked securities in the U.S., Europe and Japan. In addition, the Fund’s steepening position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve added to results. Curve steepening positions were implemented through interest rate swaps. The Fund’s swap positions, particularly in the U.S. and U.K., allowed it to profit from wider spreads (yield differentials) between swaps and sovereign government bonds. The Government and Swaps strategy is actively implemented via interest rate swaps and/ or futures.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund invested in interest rate futures, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, swaptions, options on futures, credit default swaps, equity index futures and options, non-deliverable forwards, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, currency options and cross currency swaps. The Fund used interest rate futures to hedge interest rate exposure, i.e., to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Interest rate swaps were used to express our views on the direction of interest rates. Total return swaps were employed to manage the Fund’s yield curve exposures across various strategies. Swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) were used to hedge interest rate exposure and manage the Fund’s exposure to potential market volatility. Options on futures were used within the Government/Swaps strategy to allow the Fund the right to enter into futures contracts. Credit default swaps were employed to implement specific credit-related investment strategies. Equity index futures and options were used as a means of reducing Fund volatility. Within the Fundamental Currency strategy, the Fund used non-deliverable currency forwards to gain exposure to a particular country and also to take advantage of relative value opportunities. The Fund also utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts and currency options within the Fundamental Currency strategy to take long or short positions. Within the Emerging Markets Debt Strategy, the Fund employed cross currency swaps to express relative views on given currencies as well as our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. Derivatives and similar instruments allow us to manage interest rate, credit and currency risks more effectively by allowing us both to apply active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision than we would otherwise be able to implement. Within the Liquid Mortgages strategy, the Fund used TBAs in addition to interest only and principal only strips. During the Reporting Period, the use of derivatives and similar instruments had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance.

 

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

 

A   Within the Sector Allocation strategy, we reduced the Fund’s overweight in corporate credit during May 2016 based on what we viewed as meaningful rallies since February 2016, lower risk premiums due to reduced market concerns about global risk factors, and seasonal factors, which tend to be less supportive in the months of May and June. In July 2016, we shifted the Fund to an underweight position in corporate credit partly because we expected an uptick in volatility around the U.K.’s Brexit preparations and the November 2016 U.S. elections and partly because we felt corporate fundamentals were showing some signs of deterioration amid what we considered to be the later stage of the U.S. credit cycle. Within the Country Relative Value strategy, we removed the Fund’s short position in Japanese interest rates during September 2016, as we believed the rise in Japanese yields had lost momentum. Within the Fund’s macro hedge, we added exposure to volatility through a long position in S&P 500® Index puts. (A put option is an option contract giving the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of an underlying security at a specified price within a specified time.)

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A  

At the end of the Reporting Period, within the Tactical Duration strategy, the Fund held a short duration position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. In the Country Relative Value strategy, the Fund had a long position in U.S. interest rates versus a short position in U.K. interest rates and a short position in U.S. interest rates versus a long position in Canadian interest rates. In the Fundamental Currency strategy, the Fund had a short position in the New Zealand dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. It also had long positions in the Brazilian real, Russian ruble and Indonesian rupiah. In the Fund’s Commodities strategy, it had short positions in natural gas and crude oil. It had long positions in zinc and nickel versus short positions in aluminum and copper. The Fund also had a short position in corn versus a long

position in soybeans. Within the Government and Swaps strategy, the Fund held relative value positions on the U.S., U.K., European and Japanese government bond yield curves. The Fund also held a long position in U.S. inflation-linked securities. Within the Emerging Markets Debt strategy, the Fund had long positions in Mexican, Polish and Brazilian local debt and a short position in Malaysian local debt. It also held a long position in Venezuelan external bonds. At the end of the Reporting Period, within the macro hedge, the Fund maintained a short position in S&P 500® Index futures. The Fund also continued to have exposure to volatility through a long position in S&P 500® Index puts.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the economic growth outlook for the U.S., Japan and China to improve. In the U.S., a strong labor market appeared to be supporting consumption, and a slower pace of monetary policy normalization should, in our view, prevent a sharp tightening of financial conditions. We also believed that positive developments in the manufacturing sector, arising from a decline in inventories as well as a boost in consumer spending due to a strengthening labor market, may further support U.S. economic growth for the rest of 2016. Despite “prudence in the removal of policy accommodation,” as described by Fed Governor Lael Brainard before the September 2016 policy meeting, we expect the Fed to raise short term rates later in 2016.

 

    In Europe, we expect the ECB to extend its quantitative easing program beyond March 2017, when it is currently scheduled to end, to address a weak economic growth and inflation outlook. We believe Eurozone inflation will likely continue to be disappointing and that economic growth may slow in 2017. While the U.K. appears to have avoided the worst immediate near-term Brexit scenario, we expect additional easing from the BoE in the coming months. Political uncertainty arising from negotiations on issues such as immigration and access to the European Union’s single market are likely, in our view, to provide challenges for the U.K.’s economic outlook, and thus we anticipate weak economic growth in the U.K. during 2017.

 

    In Japan, we believe the continuation and expansion of the BoJ’s accommodative monetary policy means economic growth could potentially surprise to the upside, though we believe Abenomics is running out of ammunition. (Abenomics is the nickname for the multi-pronged economic program of Japanese prime minister Shinz¯o Abe.) In China, the government’s rapid fiscal policy response to the economic slowdown earlier in 2016 suggests to us that the country’s positive growth impulses are likely to continue in the near term.

 

    In the months ahead, political uncertainty has the potential to increase market volatility. These uncertainties include the November 2016 U.S. elections, the December 2016 Italian referendum on constitutional reform and 2017 elections in Germany and France.

 

    Against this backdrop, we believe security selection and the Fund’s relative value strategy offer the most opportunity in the near term. Given what we consider to be growing downside risks, the Fund is likely to remain underweight both government and corporate bonds. We continue to think the corporate sector is in the late phase of the credit cycle, which is typically characterized by increased leverage, volatile credit spreads (yield differentials with U.S. Treasuries) and lower potential total returns compared to earlier phases of the credit cycle. Meanwhile, we believe the U.S. housing market remains in an expansionary phase, and at the end of the Reporting Period, we had a positive view on residential mortgage-backed securities, particularly legacy non-agency mortgage-backed securities (in general, those issued before the 2008-2009 financial crisis), which offer exposure to improving consumer balance sheets, labor market gains and rising wages.

 

    Going forward, we continue to emphasize relative value strategies in the Fund as we seek to profit from dislocations that may be generated during the volatility spikes we expect to see in the near to medium term.

Index Definition

The Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”) tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The Index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following business day (priced at yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument.

GOLDMAN SACHS LONG SHORT CREDIT STRATEGIES FUND

 

What Differentiates Goldman Sachs’ Long Short

Credit Strategies Fund Investment Process?

 

The Goldman Sachs Long Short Credit Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) seeks an absolute return comprised of income and capital appreciation.

 

The Fund uses a bottom-up, fundamental approach with a focus on high conviction ideas across the corporate credit spectrum. Inefficiencies in the credit markets may provide attractive opportunities for investors. The Fund seeks to capitalize on these through an unconstrained approach, security selection and providing active downside management.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Liberty Harbor Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Long Short Credit Strategies Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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 2.92%, 2.53%, 3.09%, 3.05% and 2.79%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.30% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “BofA/Merrill Lynch Index”), during the same time period.

 

    Because the composition of the BofA/Merrill Lynch Index (e.g. short-term cash securities) is not comparable to the range of instruments in which the Fund may transact (e.g., various credit-related instruments), references to the BofA/ Merrill Lynch Index are for informational purposes only and not an indication of how the Fund is managed.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, relatively steady commodity prices, supportive Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy, rather stable U.S. economic data and moderate to low global economic growth led to gains across much of the corporate credit market.

 

    Although U.S. economic growth slowed marginally during the Reporting Period, the U.S. economy provided a generally favorable backdrop for U.S. corporate credit. There was a short bout of volatility during late June 2016 related to the unexpected U.K. referendum vote to leave the European Union, popularly known as Brexit. But both U.S. equity and credit markets quickly rebounded. In our view, the rally seen during the Reporting Period was largely driven by technicals, or supply/demand factors, as fundamentals remained mostly unchanged. For example, as global investors continued to search for yield in the low interest rate environment that has dominated for some time, there were inflows across credit. High yield mutual funds experienced inflows year-to-date through September 30, 2016 of more than $6.0 billion. It appears to us that such inflows were primarily driven by global investors searching for yield, further fueled by declining sovereign yields globally.

 

    During the Reporting Period, the Fed took an accommodative, supportive approach toward interest rate hikes. Both the June 2016 and September 2016 potential U.S. interest rate hikes came and went without being implemented, driven by a sluggish May 2016 non-farm U.S. payrolls report and disappointing economic data in early September 2016, respectively. There was a persistent focus on global rates, as low and even negative rates abroad affected global long-term bond yields. Global central bank policy echoed the U.S.’s dovish, or measured, approach, as both the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan decided not to make any meaningful rate policy change during the third quarter of 2016. We also saw some stabilizing of global economic growth during the Reporting Period, as China’s stimulus-induced plans mitigated fears of a global economic growth slowdown and a currency devaluation.

 

    Further supporting the corporate credit market during the Reporting Period was the fact that commodities remained at weakened levels but rather consistent prices and some marginal price increases led to improved consumer and investor sentiment. At the same time, headline inflation remained subdued during the Reporting Period. (Headline inflation is the raw inflation figure as reported through the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) that is released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.)

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

 

A   As a part of our investment philosophy, we apply a value-oriented approach to credit market investing, with a focus on capital preservation via high conviction ideas. Consistent with the cornerstone of our fundamentally-based investment process focused on bottom-up security selection, the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period was attributable to individual security selection.

 

    We maintained our focus on corporate fundamentals and earnings during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s positive performance during the Reporting Period was broad-based, attributable to long positioning in consumer cyclicals, communications and capital goods credits. The largest individual contributors during the Reporting Period included long positions in Bombardier, Windstream Services and APX Group.

 

    Within the Fund’s long positioning, there were no sectors that materially detracted from performance. That said, the three largest individual detractors during the Reporting Period were the Fund’s positions in Concordia International, Prairie Provident Resources and NRG Energy. The Fund’s tactical short position in a high yield credit default swap index, a position taken in an effort to mitigate risk and serve as a portfolio market hedge, detracted from its results during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s interest rate swaps, which are used to hedge duration, also modestly detracted from performance.

 

    Importantly, since the Fund’s portfolio is constructed through bottom-up, fundamental research and not relative to a benchmark, there is no requirement to hold issues from any single company or sector.

 

Q   Which segments of the corporate credit sector most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   The corporate credit markets, as mentioned earlier, broadly rallied during the Reporting Period, driven largely, in our view, by technicals, while fundamentals remained unchanged. U.S. high yield corporate bonds were one of the strongest performers during the Reporting Period, as spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, narrowed to near historic average levels. Gains were broad-based across virtually all segments of the corporate credit sector. As such, our ability to identify select issuers within the corporate credit sector contributed positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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. However, the Fund does implement interest rate swaps, which serve as a hedge to select long positions. The Fund’s interest rate swap positions modestly detracted from performance.

 

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

 

A   The Fund used credit default swaps via a short position in a credit default swap high yield index to tactically hedge market risk, which modestly detracted from performance. The Fund used interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk of certain bonds, thereby limiting the Fund’s exposure to changes in interest rates. Interest rate swaps modestly detracted from Fund performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund used foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge the currency risk in non-U.S. dollar-denominated issues to U.S. dollars. This had a rather neutral impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, we continued to pursue investment opportunities based on fundamental, bottom-up research, which, in our view, offered compelling risk-adjusted return potential. We believe the telecommunications sector was particularly attractive, as it provided the best risk-reward adjusted yields, in our view. We maintained the Fund’s exposure to communications credits, seeking to identify companies with what we consider to be strong balance sheets and attractive free cash flow generation.

 

    We also saw increasingly greater investment opportunities in secured high yield, as there were what we considered to be attractive new issuances in the market. Secured high yield generally provides for enhanced protection and often more attractive terms, in our view, given its position in the capital structure. We further believe secured high yield may often provide a better risk-adjusted reward during volatile economic times. (Secured high yield are high yield bonds collateralized by an asset.)

 

   

We believe the tightening of energy credit spreads was outpacing the physical commodity price. We thus continued

to be cautious on energy credit, maintaining limited exposure in the Fund.

 

    One of the key tenets of our investment philosophy is capital preservation, which leads us to take a more defensive, cautious position given certain market conditions. We also believe our hedged approach may provide for active downside management for investors seeking to mitigate market risk and volatility.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned at the end of September 2016?

 

A   As of September 30, 2016, approximately 50% of the Fund’s total net assets was invested in unsecured debt obligations, 30% in secured debt obligations, 9% in bank loans, 7% in investment grade corporate bonds, less than 1% in preferred and other equity securities and 19% in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund’s notional derivative exposure, calculated as a percentage of total net assets, was -26% in a credit default swap high yield index. The Fund had a total of 120 holdings from 93 issuers at September 30, 2016, with the Fund’s top long corporate issuers, as measured by a percentage of total net assets invested, being Numericable, HCA Holdings and First Data.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we still believed we were likely nearing the mid- to late stages of the credit cycle and thus took a cautious stance. Also, given the gains seen in 2016 year-to-date through September 30, 2016, we intend to closely monitor liquidity as we head into the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

    Although we saw a bout of volatility at the end of June 2016 with the unexpected Brexit vote, we believe the full market impact of Brexit has not yet been experienced. The actual policy changes may well take months or even years to iron out and will, in our view, affect the corporate credit markets longer term. The U.K. vote may also cause a ripple effect to other countries who may want to explore an exit from the European Union. We remain watchful of any further impacts and consequences of the Brexit vote. Given this view, during the Reporting Period, we actively reduced the Fund’s positioning in select investments that had revenue exposure to countries in Europe that may be particularly affected by Brexit.

 

    We believe we may also see heightened volatility going forward fueled by potential interest rate hikes, inflation and the U.S. presidential election as we head into the fourth quarter of 2016. We remain focused on these factors and others that may potentially impact the markets.

 

    Given this view, we believe a sound approach, grounded in fundamentals with a focus on capital preservation, may offer a compelling means to navigate the current and anticipated market environment in the months ahead. We believe heightened volatility may lead to periods of technical dislocations in the market, which may provide for attractive single-name investing opportunities. Due to this technicals dynamic, we believe credit markets remain fragile, and we are focused on corporate earnings. We believe technical dislocations may lead to greater dispersion, or differentiation, in credits. While we continued to see value in the credit markets at the end of the Reporting Period, we believe that security selection and a focus on fundamentals will be increasingly important going forward. Further, we believe the Fund’s ability to be flexible across the corporate credit spectrum — high yield, loans, bank loans and investment grade credit — enables the Fund to step in and seek to take advantage of market opportunities when inefficiencies arise.

  1    The net asset value (“NAV”) represents the net assets of the Fund (ex-dividend) divided by the total number of shares 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 Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “BofA/Merrill Lynch Index”) tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The BofA/Merrill Lynch Index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following business day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument.

 

  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. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

  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 the maximum initial sales charge of 3.75% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1.00% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Class R and Class IR Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

 

  5    The average annual total return figures for the Fund’s Institutional Shares, which do not impose an initial sales charge, do not reflect an initial sales charge for the periods shown. Prior to March 24, 2014 (the effective date of the reorganization of the Goldman Sachs Credit Strategies Fund (“the Predecessor Fund”) into the Fund), the maximum initial sales charge applicable to sales of Common Shares of the Predecessor Fund was 2.50%, which is not reflected in the average annual total return figures shown. The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on June 15, 2009.

 

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 period 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.

Effective at the close of business on March 21, 2014, the Goldman Sachs Credit Strategies Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a closed-end management investment company that was operated as an “interval fund,” was reorganized with and into the Fund. Because the Predecessor Fund was the accounting survivor, the Fund has assumed the Predecessor Fund’s historical performance. The performance information shown in this report is for the Predecessor Fund for the period prior to March 24, 2014, and reflects the Predecessor Fund’s investment strategies and policies. However, the Fund’s current investment strategies and policies, including the ability to implement short positions, are different from those of the Predecessor Fund, with shareholders of the Predecessor Fund receiving Institutional Shares of the Fund upon consummation of the reorganization. As a result, the Fund’s performance may differ substantially from what is shown for periods prior to March 24, 2014.

  Non-income producing security.

(a)

  Bank 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 bank loan facility on September 30, 2016. Bank 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)

  Security with “Call” features with resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the final maturity dates.

(c)

  Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be deemed 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 $95,588,280, which represents approximately 44.6% of net assets as of September 30, 2016.

(d)

  Pay-in-kind securities.

(e)

  Variable rate security. Interest rate or distribution rate disclosed is that which is in effect on September 30, 2016.

(f)

  Represents an affiliated fund.

  (b)   Credit spread on the Referenced Obligation, together with the term of the swap contract, are indicators of payment/performance risk. The likelihood of a credit event occurring which would require a fund or counterparty to make a payment or otherwise be required to perform under the swap contract is generally greater as the credit spread and the term of the swap contract increase.

The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund and the Goldman Sachs Long Short Credit Strategies Fund (the “Funds”). The Funds are non-diversified portfolios and currently offer five classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Institutional, Class IR and Class R Shares.

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.  Basis of Consolidation for Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund — The Cayman Commodity — FIMS, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on December 16, 2013 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of December 16, 2013, and it is intended that the Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to control the Subsidiary. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding-up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. All inter-fund balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of September 30, 2016, the Fund’s net assets were $61,736,564, of which, $11,383,441, or 18%, represented the Subsidiary’s net assets.

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

C.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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 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, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Statements 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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 income. 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.

D.  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. 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 applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service and Transfer Agency fees.

E.  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 and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:

*   Prior to August 1, 2015, the Fund’s distributions from net investment income were declared daily and paid monthly.

The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code. Therefore, the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.

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.

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.

F.  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

translations. 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).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved 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. As of the date of the financial statements, short-term debt obligations that matured in sixty days or less and did not exhibit signs of credit deterioration were valued at amortized cost, which approximated fair value. Effective October 11, 2016, short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less are valued using available market quotations, as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. With the

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

exception of treasury securities of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

i.  Bank Loans — Bank 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 with respect to Participations. Conversely, Assignments result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may be permitted to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

ii.  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.

iii.  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 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.

iv.  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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 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 there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

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 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.

Private Investments — Private investments may include, but are not limited to, investments in private equity or debt instruments. The Investment Manager estimates the fair value of private investments based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in underlying investments or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in equity or debt capital markets, and changes in current and projected financial ratios or cash flows.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV of the Institutional Share Class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The Funds enter into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are valued at the last sale or settlement price and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared 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 OTC and centrally cleared derivatives 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 and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

i.  Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is a forward contract in which 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. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

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.

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.  Option Contracts — When a Fund writes call or put option contracts, 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.

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.

iv.  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 (“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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the 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 a 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 and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. 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 a 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 upon settlement.

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.

A cross currency swap is an agreement which a Fund may enter into to gain or mitigate exposure to currency risk. A cross currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential among them. Such swaps may involve initial and final exchanges that correspond to the agreed upon notional amount. Cross currency swaps usually involve the delivery of the entire principal value of one designated currency in exchange for another designated currency. Therefore, the entire principal value of a cross currency swap is subject to risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transactions.

 

54

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

A total return swap is an agreement that gives a Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.

Short Term Investments — As of the date of the financial statements, short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less were valued at amortized cost which approximated fair market value. Effective October 11, 2016, such securities are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources 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.

(b)   Aggregate of amounts include $1,678,014 for Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund, which represent the payments to be made pursuant to bilateral agreements should counterparties exercise their “right to terminate” provisions based on, among others, the Fund’s performance, its failure to pay on its obligations or failure to pledge collateral. 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, 2016. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to create investment opportunities and/or 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, 2016.

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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), 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. 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 initial margin to the counterparty, 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 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 the Investment Adviser 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 to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with 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, 2016:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

 

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:

^   Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any, and any additional voluntary management fee waivers, if applicable.
*   GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of it’s management fee in order to achieve the effective net management rate of 1.35% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets of the Fund through at least July 29, 2017. Prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.
(a)   Reflects combined management fees paid to GSAM under the Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreement as defined below after waivers.

The Fixed Income Macro Strategies and Long Short Credit Strategies Funds invest in the Institutional Shares of the Goldman Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, GSAM waived $9,655 and $26,911 of the Funds’ management fee for Fixed Income Macro Strategies and Long Short Credit Strategies Funds, respectively.

GSAM also provides management services to the Subsidiary pursuant to a Subsidiary Management Agreement (the “Subsidiary Agreement”) and is entitled to a management fee accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.42% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets. In consideration of the Subsidiary’s management fee, and for as long as the Subsidiary Agreement remains in effect, GSAM has contractually agreed to waive irrevocably a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee accrued and paid to GSAM by the Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Agreement. For the six months ended September 30, 2016 GSAM waived $49,678 of the Fund’s management fee. This waiver represents an inter-fund transaction and, accordingly, has been eliminated in consolidation.

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:

 

     Distribution and Service Plan Rates  
      Class A*      Class C      Class R*  

Distribution Plan

     0.25      0.75      0.50

Service Plan

             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 C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained $28 and $858 in front end sales charges for the Fixed Income Macro Strategies and the Long Short Credit Strategies Funds, respectively, and it did not retain any contingent deferred sales charges for either fund.

D.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.13% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional Shares.

Effective July 29, 2016, Goldman Sachs agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.06% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class IR, and Class R Shares of the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund. As a result of this waiver, a net transfer agency fee equal to 0.07% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Class IR, and Class R Shares of the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund is being charged to those share classes. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date, the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

E.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meeting, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses), to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense Limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund and Long Short Credit Strategies Fund are 0.064% and 0.094%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

F.  Line of Credit Facility — As of September 30, 2016, the Funds participated in a $1,100,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates (“Other Borrowers”). This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

G.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs earned $1,006, and $0 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant on behalf of the Fixed Income Macro Strategies and the Long Short Credit Strategies Funds, respectively.

At September 30, 2016, The Goldman Sachs Group (“GSG”), Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 5% or more of the following outstanding shares of the Funds:

GOLDMAN SACHS FIXED INCOME ALTERNATIVES STRATEGIES FUNDS

 

 

 

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures, foreign currency contracts and options contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, inflation protected securities, and underlying Fund investments.

GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years (the current year, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s 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:

Derivatives Risk — Loss may result from the Funds’ investments in derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Losses from investments in derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Funds invest. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Funds also invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, 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 bankruptcy.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with increasing rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but may be expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and the Funds’ investments.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund.

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Leverage Risk — Leverage creates exposure to potential gains and losses in excess of the initial amount invested. Borrowings and the use of derivatives may result in leverage and may make a Fund more volatile. When a Fund uses leverage, the sum of a Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in a Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. A Fund will identify liquid assets on its books or otherwise cover transactions that may give rise to such risk, to the extent required by applicable law. The use of leverage may cause a Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy their obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by a Fund can substantially increase the adverse impact to which a Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.

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 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. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.

Loan-Related Investments Risk — In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments, loan related investments such as loan participations and assignments are subject to other risks. Although a loan obligation may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. Many loan investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. There is less readily available, reliable information about most loan investments than is the case for many other types of securities. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan obligation defaults. With respect to loan

participations, the Fund may not always have direct recourse against a borrower if the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and/or interest; may be subject to greater delays, expenses and risks than if the Fund had purchased a direct obligation of the borrower; and may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower), subjecting the Fund to the creditworthiness of that lender as well. Investors in loans, such as the Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, although they may be entitled to certain contractual remedies. The market for loan obligations may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Because transactions in many loans are subject to extended trade settlement periods, the Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund’s redemption obligations for a period after the sale of the loans, and, as a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions, such as borrowing from its credit facility, if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations. Senior Loans hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, and are typically secured with specific collateral, but are nevertheless usually rated below investment grade. Because Second Lien Loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority of payment to Senior Loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.

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 or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Non-Diversification Risk — The Funds are non-diversified, meaning that they are permitted to invest a larger percentage of their assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, a 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.

Short Position Risk — The Funds may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that the Funds may purchase for investment. Taking short positions involves leverage of a Fund’s assets and presents various risks. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which the Funds have taken a short position increases, then the Funds will incur a loss equal to the increase in value from the time that the short position was entered into plus any related interest payments or other fees. Taking short positions involves the risk that losses may be disproportionate, may exceed the amount invested, and may be unlimited.

Tax Risk — The Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary and/or commodity index-linked structured notes, as applicable. Historically, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has issued private letter rulings (“PLRs”) in which the IRS specifically concluded that income and gains from investments in commodity index-linked structured notes or a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked instruments are “qualifying income” for purposes of compliance with Subchapter M of the Code. However, the Fund has not received a PLR, and is not able to rely on PLRs issued to other taxpayers. Additionally, the IRS has suspended the granting of such PLR, pending review of its position on this matter. The IRS also recently issued proposed regulations that, if finalized, would

 

67

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

generally treat the Fund’s income inclusion with respect to a subsidiary as qualifying income only if there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of a subsidiary that are attributable to such income inclusion. The proposed regulations, if adopted, would apply to taxable years beginning on or after 90 days after the regulations are published as final.

The IRS also recently issued a revenue procedure, which states that the IRS will not in the future issue PLRs that would require a determination of whether an asset (such as a commodity index-linked note) is a “security” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund has obtained an opinion of counsel that the Fund’s income from such investments should constitute “qualifying income.” However, no assurances can be provided that the IRS would not be able to successfully assert that the Fund’s income from such investments was not “qualifying income,” in which case the Fund would fail to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code if over 10% its gross income was derived from these investments If the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC, it would be subject to federal and state income tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. This would significantly adversely affect the returns to, and could cause substantial losses for, Fund shareholders.

 

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. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2016  (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, 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 C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A 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 C, 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, 2016 through September 30, 2016, which represents a period of 183 days in a 365-day year.

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.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited)

 

Background

The Goldman Sachs Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund and Goldman Sachs Long Short Credit Strategies Fund (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 throughout 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, 2017 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 15-16, 2016 (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 three 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, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:

  (a)   the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund 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 central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training);
  (iii)   trends in employee 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 Fund, 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”), and a benchmark performance index; and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests;
  (c)   information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy;
  (d)   the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund;
  (e)   fee and expense information for the Fund, including:
  (i)   the relative management fee and expense level of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;
  (ii)   the Fund’s expense trends over time; and
  (iii)   to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser;
  (f)   with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund;
  (g)   the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations;
  (h)   information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;
  (i)   whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale;
  (j)  

a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)

 

  Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, distribution and other services;
  (k)   a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;
  (l)   information regarding portfolio trading and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution;
  (m)   portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;
  (n)   the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and
  (o)   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 Fund’s 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 payment of distribution and service fees. 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 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.

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds 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 and 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 the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees 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.

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 to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided 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. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. 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 and its affiliates.

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and (except with respect to the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund) ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2015, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2016. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, and five-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 relative to its performance benchmark. As part of this review, they considered the investment performance trends of the Funds over

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)

 

time, and reviewed the investment performance of each Fund in light of its investment objective and policies and market conditions.

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 Trustees observed that the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group, had outperformed the Fund’s LIBOR-based benchmark index by 3.82%, and had underperformed the average performance of a group of competitor funds, as determined by the Investment Adviser (the “Fund’s Competitor Fund Average”), for the one-year period ended March 31, 2016. They noted that the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund had certain significant differences from its benchmark index that caused it to be an imperfect basis for comparison. They also noted changes to the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund’s investment strategy in November 2015 to eliminate the Fund’s exposure to directional “spread products” (i.e., taxable bonds that are not U.S. Treasury securities). The Trustees also recalled that the Long Short Credit Strategies Fund was launched in April 2014 in connection with the reorganization of the Goldman Sachs Credit Strategies Fund, a closed-end interval fund, with and into the Long Short Credit Strategies Fund. They noted that the Long Short Credit Strategies Fund’s Institutional Shares (when viewed together with its predecessor) had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods; had outperformed the Fund’s LIBOR-based benchmark index by 0.20%, 0.48%, and 3.20%, respectively, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods; and had underperformed the Fund’s Competitor Fund Average for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2016. However, they noted that the Long Short Credit Strategies Fund implements a long/short credit strategy, while the Goldman Sachs Credit Strategies Fund implemented a long-only credit strategy.

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. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data 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 implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. With respect to the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in an amount equal to the entire management fee paid to the Investment Adviser as the investment adviser to the Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund that would have the effect of decreasing total Fund expenses, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Fund’s next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts 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 other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders 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. 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 information on 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

 

74


GOLDMAN SACHS FIXED INCOME ALTERNATIVES STRATEGIES FUNDS

 

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2015 and 2014, 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:

 

      Fixed Income
Macro Strategies
Fund
    Long Short
Credit Strategies
Fund
 

First $1 billion

     1.50     1.00

Next $1 billion

     1.50        0.90   

Next $3 billion

     1.35        0.86   

Next $3 billion

     1.29        0.84   

Over $8 billion

     1.26        0.82   

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed 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 undertaking to waive a portion of its management fee (with respect to the Fixed Income Macro Strategies Fund) and to limit certain expenses 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.

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 relationships 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 more likely to do 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) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced 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 on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment

 

75


GOLDMAN SACHS FIXED INCOME ALTERNATIVES STRATEGIES FUNDS

 

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered 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.

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, 2017.

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Multi Sector Fixed Income Funds

 

Market Review

Shifting expectations about global economic conditions and central bank monetary policy influenced the performance of the global fixed income markets during the six months ended September 30, 2016 (the “Reporting Period”).

During the second quarter of 2016 when the Reporting Period began, spread (or non-government bond) sectors rallied on stabilization of commodities prices as well as on declining fears about slowing Chinese economic growth and the potential for a U.S. economic recession. Global interest rates broadly declined amid continued accommodative monetary policy from the world’s central banks. In the U.S., minutes from the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) April 2016 policy meeting, released in mid-May 2016, suggested to many observers that policymakers might raise interest rates in June 2016 if U.S. economic growth strengthened, employment data firmed and inflation rose toward the Fed’s 2% target. In early June 2016, however, the release of weak May 2016 employment data raised concerns about the health of the U.S. economy, pushing down market expectations of a Fed rate hike. Indeed, the Fed did not raise interest rates at its June 2016 policy meeting. In the last week of June 2016, the unexpected “leave” vote in the U.K. referendum on membership in the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, renewed investor uncertainty about the path of global economic growth. Spread sectors withstood the Brexit vote relatively well, selling off at first but then recovering most of their losses afterwards. The U.S. dollar strengthened versus most global currencies during the second calendar quarter, though it weakened against the Japanese yen.

During the third calendar quarter, spread sectors continued to advance. Overall, global interest rates remained low, as the world’s central banks remained broadly accommodative. In July 2016, however, the Fed’s policy statement was more hawkish than most observers expected, reflecting cautious optimism amid the market’s relatively muted reaction to the Brexit outcome and strengthening U.S. economic data. (Hawkish commentary tends to imply higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) The July 2016 U.S. non-farm payrolls report showed 255,000 new jobs added, exceeding market expectations and countering a disappointing second quarter 2016 Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) report that showed growth of 1.2%. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) kept interest rates unchanged during July 2016. The Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, fell short of market expectations with the announcement of an equity purchase program and the lack of key monetary measures, such as an interest rate cut and increased government bond purchases. In August 2016, the Bank of England (“BoE”) unveiled a “timely, coherent and comprehensive package,” as described by Governor Mark Carney, which included a number of measures intended to help the U.K. economy navigate a post-Brexit environment. Although the ECB kept monetary policy unchanged during the month, the European and U.K. credit markets received technical, or supply/demand, support from the ongoing corporate bond purchases of central banks. In the U.S., non-farm payroll gains moderated in August 2016 and manufacturing and services data weakened, but continued hawkish comments from the Fed boosted market expectations of a rate hike by the end of 2016. However, at its September 2016 policy meeting, the Fed kept short-term interest rates unchanged. In Japan, during September 2016, the BoJ announced a new “yield curve control” framework designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates. During the third quarter of 2016, the U.S. dollar depreciated versus many world currencies.

For the Reporting Period overall, high yield corporate bonds outperformed U.S. Treasuries by a double-digit margin, followed at some distance by sovereign emerging markets debt

and investment grade corporate bonds. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities also outperformed U.S. Treasuries, albeit more modestly. The U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, flattened during the Reporting Period, as yields on maturities of less than four years rose and yields on maturities of four years and longer fell. The yield on the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury dropped approximately 17 basis points to end the Reporting Period at 1.59%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point. A flattening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows.)

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the economic growth outlook for the U.S., Japan and China to improve. In the U.S., a strong labor market appeared to be supporting consumption, and a slower pace of monetary policy normalization should, in our view, prevent a sharp tightening of financial conditions. We also believed that positive developments in the manufacturing sector, arising from a decline in inventories as well as a boost in consumer spending due to a strengthening labor market, may further support U.S. economic growth for the rest of 2016. Despite “prudence in the removal of policy accommodation,” as described by Fed Governor Lael Brainard before the September 2016 policy meeting, we expect the Fed to raise short term rates later in 2016.

In Europe, we expect the ECB to extend its quantitative easing program beyond March 2017, when it is currently scheduled to end, to address a weak economic growth and inflation outlook. We believe Eurozone inflation will likely continue to be disappointing and that economic growth may slow in 2017. While the U.K. appears to have avoided the worst immediate near-term Brexit scenario, we expect additional easing from the BoE in the coming months. Political uncertainty arising from negotiations on issues such as immigration and access to the European Union’s single market are likely, in our view, to provide challenges for the U.K.’s economic outlook, and thus we anticipate weak economic growth in the U.K. during 2017.

In Japan, we believe the continuation and expansion of the BoJ’s accommodative monetary policy means economic growth could potentially surprise to the upside, though we believe Abenomics is running out of ammunition. (Abenomics refers to the multi-pronged economic program of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It seeks to remedy two decades of economic stagnation by increasing Japan’s money supply, boosting government spending and enacting reforms to make the economy more competitive.) In China, the government’s rapid fiscal policy response to the economic slowdown earlier in 2016 suggests to us that the country’s positive growth impulses are likely to continue in the near term.

In the months ahead, political uncertainty has the potential to increase market volatility. These uncertainties include the November 2016 U.S. elections, the December 2016 Italian referendum on constitutional reform and 2017 elections in Germany and France.

Goldman Sachs Bond Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a total return consisting of capital appreciation and income that exceeds the total return of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Bond Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, Service, IR, R6 and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.95%, 2.67%, 3.12%, 2.87%, 3.08%, 3.13% and 2.82%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.68% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Barclays Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Our cross-sector strategy contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Our country strategy further boosted the Fund’s relative results, with relative value trades in Australian, European, Japanese and U.S. rates driving strong performance. Bottom-up individual issue selection overall added value as well.

 

    Our top-down currency strategy generated mixed results. In our currency strategy, positions in emerging market currencies detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, particularly a long position in the Mexican peso and short positions in the South Korean won and the New Taiwan dollar. However, developed market currencies generally contributed positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, driven by a short position in the euro and tactical trading in the British pound. The currency strategy is primarily implemented via currency forwards.

 

    Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy detracted from relative performance during the Reporting Period. The duration strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Implemented via our cross-sector strategy, the Fund’s allocations to collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), non-agency mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) contributed positively to relative results. An overweight relative to the Barclays Index in emerging markets debt further contributed positively to performance, as spreads, or the yield differential between these bonds and duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries, tightened during the Reporting Period on increased investor flows to the asset class. Allocations to tax-exempt Puerto Rican municipal debt added to returns as well. Only partially offsetting these positive contributors was a shift from an overweight position in corporate credit to an underweight in June 2016 on a contribution to duration basis, which detracted from performance, as spreads tightened throughout the summer of 2016. An underweight to agency mortgage-backed securities further detracted from performance, as the sector benefited from low interest rate volatility and demand from foreign investors and domestic commercial banks looking for yield. Government/swaps exposure also detracted from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period.

 

   

Individual issue selection of mortgage-backed securities within the securitized sector contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. Corporate curve positioning, a down-in-quality bias, and selections of industrial high yield names

helped most within the corporate credit sector. Selections of Puerto Rican sales tax-backed bonds added to returns within the municipal bond sector. Within emerging market debt, selections of U.S. dollar-denominated Venezuelan debt and Brazilian inflation-linked securities proved most beneficial. Tactical trades within the Fund’s government/ swaps strategy offset underperformance from selections of U.S. government securities. The government/swaps strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. There were no meaningful detractors from a security selection perspective during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from its results during the Reporting Period, primarily driven by a short U.S. duration position relative to the Barclays Index. We maintained a short U.S. duration position relative to the Barclays Index given generally positive inflation, labor market and economic growth data during the Reporting Period. U.S. financial conditions eased during the Reporting Period, further supporting our view. Most notably, this positioning detracted from the Fund’s performance following the U.K. vote to exit the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, which led to heightened market volatility and a subsequent rally in U.S. interest rates. As market volatility subsequently declined, market expectations for an interest rate hike in 2016 edged higher due to hawkish comments from select Federal Reserve (“Fed”) officials before the Fed’s September 2016 meeting. (Hawkish commentary tends to imply higher interest rates.) This benefited the Fund’s short U.S. duration position in August 2016. In September 2016, the Fed met our expectations and left rates unchanged. However, three members of the Fed dissented in favor of a rate hike. The statement noted that the case for a rate hike “has strengthened,” but the majority of Fed policymakers wanted more evidence of further economic progress before moving the interest rate.

 

    We maintained a neutral duration stance in Europe, as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) continued to ease and implemented its corporate sector asset purchase program in April 2016. We added a modest short duration position in Japan, as its yield curve experienced significant flattening since its central bank’s introduction of negative interest rates. (A flattening yield curve is one in which the differential between yields on longer-term maturities and shorter-term maturities narrows.) We believed stretched valuations and a number of upcoming fiscal and monetary policy meetings would pressure rates higher, particularly at the long-term end of the yield curve. This positioning slightly detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, currency transactions were carried out using primarily over-the-counter (“OTC”) spot and forward foreign exchange contracts as well as purchased OTC options. Currency transactions were used as we sought both to enhance returns and to hedge the Fund’s portfolio against currency exchange rate fluctuations. Also, Treasury futures were used as warranted to facilitate specific duration, yield curve and country strategies; swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) to express an outright term structure view and manage volatility (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); credit default swaps to manage exposure to fluctuations in credit spreads (or the differential in yields between Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities that are identical in all respects except for quality rating); and interest rate swaps to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Fund also used forward sales contracts to help manage duration. Overall, we employ derivatives and similar instruments for the efficient management of the Fund’s portfolio. Derivatives and similar instruments allow us to manage interest rate, credit and currency risks more effectively by allowing us both to hedge and to apply active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision than we would otherwise be able to implement. Derivatives are used in combination with cash securities1 to implement our views in the Fund.
  1   Cash may include local currency, foreign currency, short-term investment funds, bank acceptances, commercial paper, margin, repurchase agreements, time deposits, variable-rate demand notes, and/or money market mutual funds. The Cash category may show a negative market value percentage as a result of a) the timing of trade date versus settlement date transactions and/or b) the portfolio’s derivative investments, which are collateralized by the portfolio’s available cash and securities. Such securities are AAA rated by an independent rating agency, have durations between -2 and 1 years, and are limited to the following sectors: governments, agencies, supranationals, corporates, and agency-backed adjustable-rate mortgages.

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

 

A   There were no significant changes in the Fund’s U.S. duration positioning during the Reporting Period. We maintained a short U.S. duration position relative to the Barclays Index throughout the Reporting Period. As mentioned earlier, we maintained a neutral duration in Europe and added a small short duration position in Japan.

 

 

  From a sector perspective, we moved from an overweight to an underweight exposure to corporate credit at the end of June 2016 on a contribution to duration basis. We changed our positioning in corporate credit relative to the Barclays Index because we believed the U.S. is in the late stage of the credit cycle and expected seasonal weakness during the summer months. Given that corporations overall are carrying significant leverage, we believe their bonds are more vulnerable to market shocks than other fixed income sectors. We maintained the Fund’s underweighted exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities on our view that valuations within the sector remained unattractive relative to other fixed income sectors amid high prepayment speeds.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   At the end of September 2016, the Fund had overweighted allocations relative to the Barclays Index on a market-value weighted basis in asset-backed securities, non-agency mortgage-backed securities and high yield corporate bonds. The Fund also had modest exposure to municipal bonds, which is a sector not represented in the Barclays Index. The Fund had underweighted exposure relative to the Barclays Index in U.S. government securities and, to a lesser extent, in quasi-government securities and investment grade corporate bonds. The Fund held rather neutral positions compared to the Barclays Index in commercial mortgage-backed securities, covered bonds and emerging markets debt. (Covered bonds are debt securities backed by cash flows from mortgage loans or public sector loans.) The Fund also maintained a position in cash at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund maintained a shorter overall duration compared to that of the Barclays Index at the end of the Reporting Period.

  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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents an unmanaged diversified portfolio of fixed income securities, including U.S. Treasuries, investment-grade corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Index figure does 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 Standardized 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.

They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 3.75% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). 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, Service, Class IR, Class R6 and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a total return consisting of capital appreciation and income that exceeds the total return of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, Service, IR, R6 and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.89%, 2.40%, 3.05%, 2.80%, 3.01%, 3.06% and 2.66%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.68% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Barclays Index”), during the same period.

 

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

 

A   Our cross-sector strategy contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Our country strategy further boosted the Fund’s relative results, with relative value trades in Australian, European, Japanese and U.S. rates driving strong performance. Bottom-up individual security selection overall added value as well.

 

    Our top-down currency strategy detracted from Fund performance during the Reporting Period, primarily due to a long position in the Swedish krona. A short position in the New Zealand dollar initiated in May 2016 further detracted from the Fund’s relative results. This was slightly offset by the positive contributions made by a long position in the Norwegian krone and tactical trading in the British pound on the back of heightened market volatility surrounding the Brexit vote, i.e. the U.K. referendum on its membership in the European Union. The currency strategy is primarily implemented via currency forwards.

 

    Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy detracted from relative performance during the Reporting Period. The duration strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Implemented via our cross-sector strategy, the Fund’s allocations to collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and agency debt contributed positively to relative results. An overweight relative to the Barclays Index in emerging markets debt further contributed to performance, as spreads, or the yield differential between these bonds and duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries, tightened during the Reporting Period on increased investor flows to the asset class. Only partially offsetting these positive contributors was a shift from an overweight position in corporate credit to an underweight in June 2016 on a contribution to duration basis, which detracted from performance, as spreads tightened throughout the summer of 2016. An underweight to agency mortgage-backed securities further detracted from performance, as the sector benefited from low interest rate volatility and demand from foreign investors and domestic commercial banks looking for yield. Government/swaps exposure also detracted from the Fund’s returns during the Reporting Period.

 

   

Individual issue selection of corporate credits contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. Corporate curve positioning, a down-in-quality bias, and selections of financial investment grade names helped most within the corporate credit sector. Selections of mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities

added to returns within the securitized sector. To a lesser extent, selections of agency government debt and Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) within the Fund’s government/swaps strategy contributed positively to the Fund’s returns as well. The government/swaps selections strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Within emerging markets debt, selections of U.S. dollar-denominated.

 

    Mexican debt detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from its results during the Reporting Period, primarily driven by a short U.S. duration position relative to the Barclays Index. We maintained a short U.S. duration position relative to the Barclays Index given generally positive inflation, labor market and economic growth data during the Reporting Period. U.S. financial conditions eased during the Reporting Period, further supporting our view. Most notably, this positioning detracted from the Fund’s performance following the U.K. vote to exit the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, which led to heightened market volatility and a subsequent rally in U.S. interest rates. As market volatility subsequently declined, market expectations for an interest rate hike in 2016 edged higher due to hawkish comments from select Federal Reserve (“Fed”) officials before the Fed’s September 2016 meeting. (Hawkish commentary tends to imply higher interest rates.) This benefited the Fund’s short U.S. duration position in August 2016. In September 2016, the Fed met our expectations and left rates unchanged. However, three members of the Fed dissented in favor of a rate hike. The statement noted that the case for a rate hike “has strengthened,” but the majority of Fed policymakers wanted more evidence of further economic progress before moving the interest rate.

 

    We maintained a neutral duration stance in Europe, as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) continued to ease and implemented its corporate sector asset purchase program in April 2016. We added a modest short duration position in Japan, as its yield curve experienced significant flattening since its central bank’s introduction of negative interest rates. (A flattening yield curve is one in which the differential between yields on longer-term maturities and shorter-term maturities narrows; steepening is the reverse.) We believed stretched valuations and a number of upcoming fiscal and monetary policy meetings would pressure rates higher, particularly at the long-term end of the yield curve. This positioning slightly detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The Bank of Japan kept interest rates unchanged but unveiled a “quantitative and qualitative easing (“QQE”) program with yield curve control” framework at its September 2016 meeting. We removed the Fund’s short position in Japanese rates following notable steepening ahead of the Bank of Japan meeting and ended the Reporting Period with a neutral position in Japanese rates.

 

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

 

A   As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, currency transactions were carried out using primarily over-the-counter (“OTC”) spot and forward foreign exchange contracts as well as purchased OTC options. Currency transactions were used as we sought both to enhance returns and to hedge the Fund’s portfolio against currency exchange rate fluctuations. Also, Treasury and international government bond futures, Eurodollar futures and other futures contracts were used as warranted to facilitate specific duration, yield curve and country strategies; swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) to express an outright term structure view and manage volatility (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); credit default swaps to manage exposure to fluctuations in credit spreads (or the differential in yields between Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities that are identical in all respects except for quality rating); and interest rate swaps to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Fund also used forward sales contracts to help manage duration. Overall, we employ derivatives and similar instruments for the efficient management of the Fund’s portfolio. Derivatives and similar instruments allow us to manage interest rate, credit and currency risks more effectively by allowing us both to hedge and to apply active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision than we would otherwise be able to implement.

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

 

A   There were no significant changes in the Fund’s U.S. duration positioning during the Reporting Period. We maintained a short U.S. duration position relative to the Barclays Index throughout the Reporting Period. As mentioned earlier, we maintained a neutral duration in Europe. We added a small short duration position in Japan and then moved to a neutral duration position in Japan in September 2016.

 

    From a sector perspective, we moved from an overweight to an underweight exposure to corporate credit at the end of June 2016 on a contribution to duration basis. We changed our positioning in corporate credit relative to the Barclays Index because we believe the U.S. is in the late stage of the credit cycle and expected seasonal weakness during the summer months. Given that corporations overall are carrying significant leverage, we believe their bonds are more vulnerable to market shocks than other fixed income sectors. We maintained the Fund’s underweighted exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities on our view that valuations within the sector remained unattractive relative to other fixed income sectors amid high prepayment speeds.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   At the end of September 2016, the Fund had its most overweighted allocations relative to the Barclays Index on a market-value weighted basis in asset-backed securities and investment grade corporate bonds (with an emphasis on the industrials and financials industries). The Fund also had a modestly overweighted exposure at the end of the Reporting Period to quasi-government securities. The Fund had its most underweighted exposure relative to the Barclays Index in U.S. government securities. The Fund maintained rather neutral exposures relative to the Barclays Index to residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, covered bonds and emerging markets debt. The Fund had no exposure to high yield corporate bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. (Covered bonds are debt securities backed by cash flows from mortgage loans or public sector loans.) The Fund maintained a modestly short duration overall compared to that of the Barclays Index at the end of the Reporting Period.

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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents an unmanaged diversified portfolio of fixed income securities, including U.S. Treasuries, investment-grade corporate bonds and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Index figure does 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 Standardized 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. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Goldman Sachs Global Income Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high total return, emphasizing current income, and, to a lesser extent, providing opportunities for capital appreciation.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs

Global Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, Service, IR and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.83%, 2.47%, 3.00%, 2.75%, 2.96% and 3.01%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.06% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, hedged) (the “Barclays Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Detracting from the Fund’s performance most was our currency strategy. An underweight relative to the Barclays Index in Asian currencies, including the South Korean won, New Taiwan dollar and Malaysian ringgit versus the U.S. dollar, detracted the most. We remained underweight this basket of Asian currencies during the Reporting Period based on our concerns about a weaker Chinese yuan, higher U.S. interest rates and a protracted slowdown in the Chinese economy. To a more modest degree, our duration strategy also detracted. The duration strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

    Bottom-up individual issue selection generated mixed results. Our corporate selection strategy detracted, offset by individual issue selection within the securitized sector, which contributed positively. The corporate selection strategy is primarily implemented via cash rate bonds and credit default swaps (mainly index swaps). The securitized selection strategy is primarily implemented via cash rate bonds (including what are known as to-be-announced securities (“TBAs”)). Individual issue selection strategies reflect any active views we take on a particular sector.

 

    One of the primary positive contributors to the Fund’s performance was our country strategy. Within our country strategy, a number of relative value trades performed well. These included a long Europe at four-year/five-year versus short Japan at the 20-year node in July and August 2016; a long Europe versus short U.S. at the 10-year node, and a long U.S. at 30-year versus short Japan at 20-year node, as the Japan sovereign rate curve steepened through July 2016. (A steepening yield curve is one wherein the differential between yields on shorter maturities and longer maturities widens.) The country strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures.

 

    Our cross-sector strategy also performed well during the Reporting Period. The cross-sector strategy is primarily implemented via cash bonds and index/single-name credit default swaps. Our cross sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A  

Within our corporate selection strategy, exposure to cash bonds versus synthetics hurt most, especially within the European corporate bond sector. Amongst individual names, Fund positions in industrials, such as Verizon and AB Inbev, disappointed most. (A cash bond is one wherein one party gives to another an amount of money to secure the fulfillment of an obligation. A synthetic bond is a position made up of a mixture of investments, potentially including derivatives and other similar instruments, designed to mimic the cash flow and risk profile of a corporate bond.) Partially offsetting these detractors was individual issue selection

within the securitized sector, which contributed positively. The securitized selection strategy contributed positively, driven mainly by selection within mortgage-backed securities derivatives, which were supported by favorable prepayment speed reports.

 

    Our cross-sector strategy added value, benefiting most from the Fund’s exposure to high quality, AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), mainly in April 2016 and July 2016, when the securities rallied along with other risk assets. A modest underweight relative to the Barclays Index in emerging markets debt also contributed positively, mainly in July and August 2016.

 

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

 

A   The combined effect of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning modestly detracted from its results during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s duration strategy is actively managed and constantly monitored in an effort to generate greater performance and reduced risk through volatile markets. We tactically adjusted the Fund’s duration position throughout the Reporting Period as market conditions shifted. That said, we maintained a short U.S. duration position relative to the Barclays Index throughout the Reporting Period. We initiated a short Japanese duration position in April 2016 on the expectations of steepening at the long-term end of its yield curve. The Japanese sovereign rate curve considerably flattened prior to that due to the negative rates introduced by the Bank of Japan, pushing investors to longer duration instruments in search for yield. We closed the short Japanese rate position in August 2016.

 

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

 

A   We used derivatives and similar instruments for the efficient management of the Fund. These derivatives and similar instruments allowed us to manage interest rate, credit and currency risks more effectively by allowing us both to hedge and to apply active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision than we would otherwise be able to implement. Derivatives are used in combination with cash securities1 to implement our views in the Fund.

 

    During the Reporting Period, we used interest rate and bond exchange traded futures contracts to implement duration and country strategies within the Fund, especially in the U.S., Eurozone, U.K. and Japanese markets. Currency transactions were carried out using primarily over-the-counter (“OTC”) spot and forward foreign exchange contracts as well as by purchasing OTC options. Currency transactions were used as we sought both to enhance returns and to hedge the Fund’s portfolio against currency exchange rate fluctuations. Interest rate and credit default swaps were also used as cost-efficient instruments to help grant us greater precision and versatility in the management of active strategies. Forward sales contracts were used to implement currency transactions based on our active views and for hedging purposes. Written option contracts were used to implement active views within our top-down and bottom-up selection strategies and for hedging purposes.

 

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

 

A   As mentioned earlier, we adjusted the Fund’s U.S. and Japanese duration positions during the Reporting Period as market conditions and central bank policy shifted.

 

    From a sector perspective, on a market-value weighted basis, we reduced the Fund’s weighting in corporate credit, as we believe the markets are in the late stages of the credit cycle and spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, may widen. We tactically adjusted the Fund’s position in short-dated agency mortgage-backed securities, but mostly maintained an underweight exposure to the sector given our view that the securities’ valuations were unattractive amid skewed supply/demand factors.

 

    From a country perspective, on a market-value weighted basis, we increased the Fund’s exposure relative to the Barclays Index to the U.S. and Japan and decreased its relative weightings in the Eurozone overall. Within the

 

  1   Cash may include local currency, foreign currency, short-term investment funds, bank acceptances, commercial paper, margin, repurchase agreements, time deposits, variable-rate demand notes, and/or money market mutual funds. The Cash category may show a negative market value percentage as a result of a) the timing of trade date versus settlement date transactions and/or b) the portfolio’s derivative investments, which are collateralized by the portfolio’s available cash and securities. Such securities are AAA rated by an independent rating agency, have durations between -2 and 1 years, and are limited to the following sectors: governments, agencies, supranationals, corporates, and agency-backed adjustable-rate mortgages.

Eurozone, we increased relative exposures to Spain and Italy and decreased relative exposures to Germany and Ireland.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   At the end of September 2016, on a market-value weighted basis, the Fund had overweighted allocations relative to the Barclays Index in asset-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Fund had underweighted exposure relative to the Barclays Index in government securities, quasi-government securities, covered bonds, investment grade corporate bonds and emerging markets debt. (Covered bonds are debt securities backed by cash flows from mortgage loans or public sector loans.) The Fund had no position in high yield corporate bonds at the end of the Reporting Period.

 

    From a country perspective, on a market-value weighted basis, the Fund was overweight relative to the Barclays Index in the U.S. and Japan. The Fund was underweight compared to the Barclays Index in the U.K., Australia and the Eurozone overall. Within the Eurozone, the Fund was overweight Spain and Italy, underweight Germany and France and rather neutral to the remaining markets at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund was also relatively neutrally weighted at the end of the Reporting Period to Canada. Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The Fund had a modestly shorter duration than the Barclays Index at the end of the Reporting Period.

Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks total return comprised of income and capital appreciation.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs

Strategic Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, R6 and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.73%, 2.34%, 2.90%, 2.86%, 2.91% and 2.60%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.30% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “LIBOR Index”), during the same period.

 

    We note that the Fund’s benchmark being the LIBOR Index is a means of emphasizing that the Fund has an unconstrained strategy. That said, this Fund employs a benchmark agnostic strategy and thus comparisons to a benchmark index are not particularly relevant.

 

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

 

A   Individual issue selection within the various credit sectors contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. These strategies reflect any active views we take on particular sectors. Within our top-down strategies, our country strategy contributed positively to Fund performance. The Fund benefited during the Reporting Period from a long European peripherals (such as Italy and Spain) position. Long Australian rates versus short U.S. rates and long European rates versus short Japanese rates positions also helped.

 

    Conversely, our currency strategy detracted from Fund performance during the Reporting Period. Exposure to emerging market currencies hurt most, including an overweighted exposure to the Mexican peso and an underweighted allocation to a basket of Asian currencies, such as the South Korean won and the New Taiwan dollar. We believe the environment was supportive of being long the Mexican peso given the country’s close ties to the U.S. We still liked this trade at the end of the Reporting Period, but we are cognizant of the possibility of heightened volatility that may come heading into the U.S. election. We were short a basket of Asian currencies given a potential slowdown in economic growth in China.

 

    The Fund’s duration strategy detracted from its performance. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Individual issue selection within the various credit sectors was most beneficial to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. An emphasis on structured credit assets, such as collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and agency/non-agency mortgage-backed securities especially drove performance. In the securitized credit space, we tended to favor high quality and short duration assets. We favored these assets because we believe CLOs continue to provide strong carry as a high credit quality asset, and the U.S. real estate market, in our view, continues to support residential mortgage-backed securities. (Carry is the cost or benefit of owning that asset.) All that said, the Fund held modest exposure to credit sectors overall, especially the corporate credit sector, where we were not especially optimistic. We believe we are in the late stage of the credit cycle where companies typically exhibit higher leverage and lower margins. Moreover, high yield corporate credit performed strongly year-to-date through September 30, 2016, with spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, tightening significantly, so there may not be much more room to go.

 

   

The Fund also benefited from exposure to external emerging markets debt, such as that of Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela. Emerging markets overall performed well during

the Reporting Period given the seeming stabilization in oil prices. While the Fund owned bonds in select countries, the Fund was underweighted China. Concerns with China tend to come in waves, in our view — centered around slowing economic growth, currency depreciation, capital outflows and a persistent overhang of debt. While these concerns abated in market focus during the Reporting Period, they remained in the background.

 

    On the municipal credit side, the Fund held a modest exposure to Puerto Rico municipal bonds. The Fund primarily held general obligation bonds and sales tax-backed bonds, which aided performance given the progress made by the commonwealth toward a debt restructuring.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s tactical duration positioning detracted from results during the Reporting Period. We tactically kept a short U.S. rates position in the Fund during the Reporting Period, which detracted as the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has been cautious regarding a potential rate hike. We had moved in and out of this position given certain market technicals, or supply/demand factors, but by the end of the Reporting Period, we had positioned the Fund to take advantage of a potential interest rate hike in December 2016. At the same time, we positioned the Fund to take advantage of relative value positions across global interest rates. With Japanese and European rates in negative territory, we believed this level seemed unsustainable, so we were able to prudently position the Fund for poor performance in Japanese and European rates versus other developed markets.

 

    Yield curve positioning contributed positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund held tactical positions in various yield curve steepeners in Japan and Europe at various points during the Reporting Period. As we tactically shifted these positions during the Reporting Period, we were able to take advantage of period when yield curves generally steepened. (A steepening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities widens.)

 

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

 

A   We used derivatives and similar instruments for the efficient management of the Fund. These derivatives and similar instruments allowed us to manage interest rate, credit and currency risks more effectively by allowing us both to hedge and to apply active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision than we would otherwise be able to implement.

 

    During the Reporting Period, we used interest rate and bond exchange traded futures contracts to implement duration and country strategies within the Fund, especially in the U.S., Eurozone and Japanese markets. Currency transactions were carried out using primarily over-the-counter (“OTC”) spot and forward foreign exchange contracts as well as by purchasing OTC options. Currency transactions were used as we sought both to enhance returns and to hedge the Fund’s portfolio against currency exchange rate fluctuations. Also, we used swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) to express an outright term structure view and manage volatility (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); credit default swaps to manage exposure to fluctuations in credit spreads (or the differential in yields between Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities that are identical in all respects except for quality rating); and interest rate swaps to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We used total return swaps to manage curve exposure across various strategies within the Fund. Our currency strategy used forward sales contracts to implement long and short views within the strategy.

 

    Both the country strategy and currency strategy employ derivatives to achieve their views. In the country strategy, the Team primarily uses swaps/futures to express relative value trades in the interest rates of two separate countries. The country strategy overall contributed positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. In the currency strategy, transactions were carried out primarily using OTC spot and forward foreign exchange contracts as well as by purchasing OTC options. The currency strategy overall detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The duration strategy, implemented through derivatives as described above, also detracted from Fund performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A  

The Fund is a broadly diversified, multi-sector portfolio designed to provide total return opportunities from across the

fixed income spectrum, including government, securitized, corporate credit and emerging market fixed income sectors.

 

    Positioning throughout the Reporting Period remained consistent with themes we have been focusing on for some time now. We positioned the Fund for modest economic growth in the U.S., evidenced by the Fund’s short U.S. duration position. We were also poised to take more risk in the Fund’s relative value rates strategy. We reduced the Fund’s long U.S. dollar exposure on the view that we expect the U.S. dollar to come under pressure over the longer term, driven by decent global economic growth and a more cautious Fed. The Fund’s credit exposure remained relatively consistent during the Reporting Period, wherein we maintained a focus on structured credit and a less favorable view on corporate credit.

 

    Also, as mentioned earlier, we tactically adjusted the Fund’s duration, country and currency positions during the Reporting Period as market conditions and perceptions around central bank policy shifted. We believed there was opportunity to take advantage of dislocations in the global landscape through relative value trades in both currencies and rates.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned at the end of September 2016?

 

A   At the end of September 2016, the Fund had the majority of its total net assets invested in U.S. government securities, followed by CLOs, agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, emerging markets debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, high yield corporate bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, corporate bank loans, municipal bonds and quasi-government securities. At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained a cautious stance on credit overall given less favorable seasonal conditions, as we had exited the summer season and were, in our view, in the late stages of the credit cycle. The Fund also had a substantial position in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the Reporting Period.

 

    The Fund’s largest duration positions at the end of the Reporting Period were its long duration position in Japan versus its short duration positions in the U.S. and U.K. and virtually neutral duration position in Europe. From a currency perspective, the Fund maintained its most long currency positions in the U.S. dollar, Swedish krona and Mexican peso. The Fund was most short the euro and a basket of Asian currencies at the end of the Reporting Period.

  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 reflects the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges.

 

  2    The Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following business day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument.

 

  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 Standardized 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. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

  4    The Standardized Total Returns are average annual or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) 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 and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Class IR, Class R6 and Class R Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets.

 

(a)

  Bank 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 bank loan facility on September 30, 2016. Bank 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)

  Security with “Call” features with resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the final maturity dates.

(c)

  Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be deemed 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 $2,342,230,281, which represents approximately 25.0% of net assets as of September 30, 2016.

(d)

  Pay-in-kind securities.

(e)

  Variable rate security. Interest rate or distribution rate disclosed is that which is in effect on September 30, 2016.

(f)

  Security is currently in default and/or non-income producing.

(g)

  Security with a notional or nominal principal amount. The actual effective yield of this security is different than the stated interest rate.

(h)

  TBA (To Be Announced) Securities are purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and no defined maturity date. The actual principal and maturity date will be determined upon settlement when the specific mortgage pools are assigned. Total market value of TBA securities (excluding forward sales contracts, if any) amounts to $137,808,475 which represents approximately 1.5% of net assets as of September 30, 2016.

(i)

  Coupon changes periodically based upon a predetermined schedule. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on September 30, 2016.

(j)

  Issued with a zero coupon. Income is recognized through the accretion of discount.

(k)

  All or a portion of security is segregated as collateral for initial margin requirements on futures transactions.

(l)

  Represents an Affiliated Fund/Issuer.

(m)

  Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of and are subject to legal restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are subsequently registered and the registration statement is effective. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Total market value of restricted securities amounts to $104,795,953 which represents approximately 1.1% of net assets as of September 30, 2016. See additional details below:

  (a)   Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology.
  (b)   Assumes investment at the NAV at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the NAV 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)   Rounds to less than $0.01 per share.

  (a)   Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology.
  (b)   Assumes investment at the NAV at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the NAV 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)   Rounds to less than $0.01 per share.

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, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Statements 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 income. 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.

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. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

by a Fund are charged to that Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.

D.  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 and capital gains 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.

E.  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 translations. 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.

F.  In-Kind Transactions — The Funds may allow investors, under certain circumstances, to purchase shares with securities instead of cash. In addition, the Trust reserves the right to redeem an investor’s shares by distributing securities instead of cash. These are known as in-kind transactions. Securities included as part of in-kind purchases and redemptions of Fund shares are valued in the same manner as they are valued for purposes of computing a Fund’s NAV, in accordance with the Funds’ Valuation Procedures, and such valuations are as of the date the trade is submitted pursuant to the procedures specified in the Funds’ prospectus.

 

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

 

117


GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 and GSAMI’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved 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 and GSAMI 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 and GSAMI regularly perform 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. As of the date of the financial statements, short-term debt obligations that matured in sixty days or less and did not exhibit signs of credit deterioration were valued at amortized cost, which approximated fair value. Effective October 11, 2016, short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

i.  Bank Loans — Bank 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 with respect to Participations. Conversely, Assignments result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may be permitted to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement.

ii.  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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

iii.  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 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.

iv.  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. The Funds account for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realize gains and losses on these transactions.

v.  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 instrument (notional amount multiplied by price of the referenced instrument) and record a realized gain or loss.

vi.  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.

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 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 there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM and GSAMI to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

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 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.

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The Funds enter into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are valued at the last sale or settlement price and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared 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 OTC and centrally cleared derivatives 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 and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

i.  Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is a forward contract in which 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. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

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.  Option Contracts — When a Fund writes call or put option contracts, 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.

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.

iv.  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

 

120


GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 (“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, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the 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 a 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 and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. 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 a 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 upon settlement.

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.

A total return swap is an agreement that gives a Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.

Short Term Investments — As of the date of the financial statements, short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less were valued at amortized cost which approximated fair market value. Effective October 11, 2016, such securities are valued

 

121

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

I.  Commercial Paper — Commercial paper normally represents short-term unsecured promissory notes issued in bearer form by banks or bank holding companies, corporations, finance companies and other issuers. Commercial paper consists of direct U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of domestic or foreign issuers. Asset-backed commercial paper is issued by a special purpose entity that is organized to issue the commercial paper and to purchase trade receivables or other financial assets.

Secured Borrowings — Secured borrowings are valued at their contractual amounts, which approximate fair value and are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

i.  Reverse Repurchase Agreements — Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by the Funds subject to the Funds’ agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest), under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. The gross value of reverse repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

A Fund entering into a reverse repurchase agreement is required to deliver securities as collateral to the counterparty that exceed the value of the reverse repurchase agreement. During the term of a reverse repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities pledged as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the value of those securities pledged as collateral, including accrued interest, becomes less than the value of the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest, a Fund will be obligated to deliver additional collateral to the buyer. If the buyer defaults on its commitment to sell back the securities, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the amount borrowed is less than the replacement cost of similar securities and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the reverse repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the buyer, a court could determine that a Fund’s interest in the amount borrowed is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.

Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if GSAM and GSAMI believe 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 and GSAMI, consistent with their 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 obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

GSAM and GSAMI did not develop the unobservable inputs (examples include but are not limited to single source broker quotations, third party pricing, etc.) for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

(b)   Aggregate of amounts include $361,617, $174,246 and $48,486,201 for Bond, Global Income and Strategic Income Funds, which represent the payments to be made pursuant to bilateral agreements should counterparties exercise their “right to terminate” provisions based on, among others, the Funds’ performance, their failure to pay on their obligations or failure to pledge collateral. 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 Funds are 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, 2016. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to create investment opportunities and/or economically hedge certain investments, and accordingly, certain gains (losses) on such derivative contracts may offset certain (losses) gains attributable to investments.

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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), 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. 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 initial margin to the counterparty, 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.

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued)

 

Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold 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 the Investment Adviser 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 to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with 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, 2016:

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

 

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM and GSAMI manage the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM and GSAMI are entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM and GSAMI were at the following rates:

^   Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any.
*   GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve net management rates, as defined in the Funds’ most recent prospectuses. These waivers will be effective through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees.

The Funds invest in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM and GSAMI have agreed to waive a portion of their management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee they earn as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, GSAM and GSAMI waived $33,685, $51,098, $4,095 and $323,658 of the management fee for the Bond, Core Fixed Income, Global Income and Strategic Income Funds, respectively.

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:

 

     Distribution and Service Plan Rates  
      Class A*      Class C      Class R*  

Distribution Plan

     0.25      0.75      0.50

Service Plan

             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.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

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 Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts:

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. These plans allow for service organizations to provide varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.

E.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.13% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares, 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares.

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM and GSAMI have agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meeting, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM and GSAMI for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Bond, Core Fixed Income, Global Income and Strategic Income Funds are 0.004%, 0.014%, 0.004% and 0.054%, respectively. The Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM and GSAMI may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of September 30, 2016, the Funds participated in a $1,100,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM and GSAMI or its affiliates (“Other Borrowers”). This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs earned $21,049, $19,210 and $939,803 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Bond, Core Fixed Income and Strategic Income Funds, respectively.

As of September 30, 2016, the following Fund of Funds Portfolios were the beneficial owners of 5% or more of total outstanding shares of the following Fund:

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

As of September 30, 2016, the Funds’ aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Gross unrealized gain

     15,111,635           37,074,526           38,755,416           267,707,154

   $ 12,109,687         $ 32,564,807         $ 26,873,148         $ 28,382,120   

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures contracts, foreign currency contracts, and differences related to the tax treatment of inflation protected securities and swap transactions.

GSAM and GSAMI have reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current year and prior three years, as applicable) and have 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:

Derivatives Risk — Loss may result from the Funds’ investments in derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Losses from investments in derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the Funds invest. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Funds have exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Funds also invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, 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 bankruptcy.

Geographic and Sector Risk — As a result of the Global Income Fund’s ability to invest a large percentage of its assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if its investments were not so focused.

GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with increasing rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but may be expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and the Funds’ investments.

Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Leverage Risk — Leverage creates exposure to potential gains and losses in excess of the initial amount invested. Borrowing and the use of derivatives may result in leverage and may make the Funds more volatile. When the Funds use leverage, the sum of each Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in each Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. Each Fund will identify liquid assets on its books or otherwise cover transactions that may give rise to such risk, to the extent required by applicable law. The use of leverage may cause the Funds to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy their obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by each Fund can substantially increase the adverse impact to which each Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.

Loan-Related Investments Risk — In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments, loan-related investments such as loan participations and assignments are subject to other risks. Although a loan obligation may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. Many loan investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. There is less readily available, reliable information about most loan investments than is the case for many other types of securities. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan obligation defaults. With respect to loan participations, the Fund may not always have direct recourse against a borrower if the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and/or interest; may be subject to greater delays, expenses and risks than if the Fund had purchased a direct obligation of the borrower; and may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower), subjecting the Fund to the creditworthiness of that lender as well. Investors in loans, such as the Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, although they may be entitled to certain contractual remedies. The market for loan obligations may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Because transactions in many loans are subject to extended trade settlement periods, the Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund’s redemption obligations for a period after the sale of the loans, and, as a result, the Fund may have to sell other

investments or engage in borrowing transactions, such as borrowing from its credit facility, if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.

Senior Loans hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, and are typically secured with specific collateral, but are nevertheless usually rated below investment grade. Because Second Lien Loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority of payment to Senior Loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.

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 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. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.

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 or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Non-Diversification Risk — The Global Income 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, a 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.

Short Position Risk — The Funds may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that the Funds may purchase for investment. Taking short positions involves leverage of the Funds’ assets and presents various risks. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which the Fund have taken a short position increases, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in value from the time that the short position was entered into plus any related interest payments or other fees. Taking short positions involves the risk that losses may be disproportionate, may exceed the amount invested, and may be unlimited.

 

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 and GSAMI believe the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS   

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R or Class R6 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 C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service 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 C, Institutional, Service, Class IR, Class R or Class R6 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, 2016 through September 15, 2016, which represents a period of 183 days of a 366-day year.

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 MULTI-SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited)

 

Background

The Goldman Sachs Bond Fund, Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Global Income Fund, and Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund (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 throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreements (the “Management Agreements”) on behalf of the Bond, Core Fixed Income, and Strategic Income Funds with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) and on behalf of the Global Income Fund with Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (together with GSAM, the “Investment Advisers”).

The Management Agreements were most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2017 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreements 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 15-16, 2016 (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 three meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreements were last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreements were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:

  (a)   the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund 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 central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training);
  (iii)   trends in employee 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 Fund, 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”), a benchmark performance index, and a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser (with the exception of the Global Income Fund); and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests;
  (c)   information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy;
  (d)   the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund;
  (e)   fee and expense information for the Fund, including:
  (i)   the relative management fee and expense level of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;
  (ii)   the Fund’s expense trends over time; and
  (iii)   to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser;
  (f)   with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund;
  (g)   the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations;
  (h)   information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

  (i)   whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale;
  (j)   a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, distribution and other services;
  (k)   a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;
  (l)   information regarding portfolio trading and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution;
  (m)   portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;
  (n)   the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and
  (o)   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 Fund’s 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 payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. Information was also provided to the Trustees relating to revenue sharing payments made by and services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates to intermediaries that promote the sale, distribution, and/or servicing of Fund shares. 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.

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreements at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, their services, and the Funds. In conjunction with these meetings, the Trustees received written materials and oral presentations on the topics covered, and the Investment Advisers addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees 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 Advisers and their 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 Advisers or their affiliates present.

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

As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Advisers. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates. The Trustees noted the transition in the leadership and changes in personnel of various of the Investment Advisers’ portfolio management teams that had occurred in recent periods, and the ongoing recruitment efforts aimed at bringing high quality investment talent to the Investment Advisers. They also noted the Investment Advisers’ commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Advisers and their affiliates to combat cyber security risks. The Trustees concluded that the Investment Advisers continued to commit substantial financial and operational resources to the Funds and expressed confidence that the Investment Advisers would continue to do so in the future. The Trustees also recognized that the Investment Advisers had made significant commitments to address regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds and the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2015, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Advisers using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2016. 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

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance 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 Funds’ performance (with the exception of the Global Income Fund) to that of composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by GSAM.

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

The Trustees observed that the Bond Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees noted that the Core Fixed Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and in the third quartile for the ten-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the five-year period and underperformed for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016. They noted that the Global Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the five-year period and underperformed for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees observed that the Strategic Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the three- and five-year periods and in the third quartile for the one-year period; had outperformed the Fund’s LIBOR-based benchmark index by 2.17% for the five-year period and underperformed by 2.49% and 0.37%, respectively, for the one- and three-year periods; and had outperformed the average performance of a group of competitor funds, as determined by GSAM, for the three- and five-year periods and underperformed for the one-year period ended March 31, 2016.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreements and the fee rates payable by each Fund under its respective Management Agreement. In this regard, the Trustees considered information on the services rendered by the Investment Advisers 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. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data 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 Advisers’ undertakings to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Advisers manage other types of accounts having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds, comparative fee information for services provided by the Investment Advisers to those accounts, and information that indicated that services provided to the Funds differed in various significant respects from the services provided to other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Advisers to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders 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 Advisers’ revenues and pre-tax profit margins with respect to the Trust and each of the Funds. 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 information on the Investment Advisers’ expense allocation methodology. They observed that the profitability and expense figures are substantially similar to those used by the Investment Advisers 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 noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Advisers’ expense

 

146


GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI-SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2015 and 2014, and the Trustees considered this information in relation to the Investment Advisers’ overall profitability. The Trustees considered the Investment Advisers’ 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 Advisers’ profitability. The Trustees also considered the breakpoints in the fee rate payable under the Management Agreements for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:

 

Average Daily

Net Assets

 

Bond

Fund

   

Core Fixed
Income

Fund

   

Global

Income

Fund

   

Strategic

Income

Fund

 
First $1 billion     0.45     0.40     0.65     0.60
Next $1 billion     0.41        0.36        0.59        0.54   
Next $3 billion     0.39        0.34        0.56        0.51   
Next $3 billion     0.38        0.33        0.55        0.50   
Over $8 billion     0.37        0.32        0.54        0.49   

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed 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 Advisers relating to the costs of the services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates and their realized profits; information comparing fee rates charged by the Investment Advisers with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer groups; and GSAM’s undertakings to waive a portion of its management fee with respect to the Bond Fund and the Investment Advisers’ undertakings to limit certain expenses of each Fund 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 GSAM had passed along savings to shareholders of the Strategic Income Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.

Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers and Their Affiliates

The Trustees also considered the other benefits derived by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships 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 Advisers; (d) the Investment Advisers’ ability to leverage the infrastructure designed to service the Funds on behalf of their other clients; (e) the Investment Advisers’ ability to cross-market other products and services to Fund shareholders; (f) Goldman Sachs’ retention of certain fees as Fund Distributor; (g) the Investment Advisers’ ability to negotiate better pricing with custodians on behalf of their other clients, as a result of the relationship with the Funds; and (h) the possibility that the working relationship between the Investment Advisers and the Funds’ third-party service providers may cause those service providers to be more likely to do 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 Advisers, including: (a) trading efficiencies resulting from aggregation of orders of the Funds with those of other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Advisers; (b) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates; (c) enhanced servicing from broker-dealers because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates; (d) the Investment Advisers’ ability to negotiate favorable terms with derivatives counterparties on behalf of the Funds as a result of the size and reputation of the Goldman Sachs organization; (e) the Investment Advisers’ knowledge and experience gained from managing other accounts and products; (f) the Investment Advisers’ 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 Advisers, to certain firmwide resources (e.g., proprietary risk management systems

 

147

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

and databases), subject to certain restrictions; and (h) the Funds’ access to certain affiliated distribution channels. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered that many of the Funds’ shareholders invested in the Funds in part because of the Funds’ relationship with the Investment Advisers and that those shareholders have a general expectation that the relationship will continue.

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreements, 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 its respective Investment Adviser, the Investment Advisers’ costs and each Fund’s current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Trustees unanimously concluded that the Investment Advisers’ continued management likely would benefit each applicable Fund and its shareholders and that the Management Agreements should be approved and continued with respect to each applicable Fund until June 30, 2017.

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Municipal Fixed Income Funds

 

 

Market Review

The municipal bond market generated positive returns during the six months ended September 30, 2016 (the “Reporting Period”), supported by a flattening yield curve and favorable supply and demand dynamics overall. (Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities. A flattening yield curve means the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrowed.)

When the Reporting Period began in the second quarter of 2016, municipal bond prices rose and the yield curve flattened. However, during the third calendar quarter, investors’ concerns about the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) interest rate policy and weakening market technicals, or supply and demand factors, drove up municipal bond yields, pushing down prices.

For the Reporting Period overall, shorter-term municipal yields (as represented by two-year maturities) rose, while longer-term municipal yields fell. As a result, the municipal yield curve flattened. The yield on a two-year AAA-rated municipal security increased 15 basis points to 0.82%; the yield on a 10-year AAA-rated municipal security fell 19 basis points to 1.51%; and the yield on a 30-year AAA-rated municipal security decreased 38 basis points to 2.31%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) By comparison, the yield on a two-year U.S. Treasury security rose four basis points to 0.76%; the yield on a 10-year U.S. Treasury fell 17 basis points to 1.59%; and the yield on a 30-year U.S. Treasury security decreased 30 basis points to 2.32%. (Source: GSAM, MMD and Bloomberg.)

The municipal bond market was supported by strong demand despite heavy issuance throughout Reporting Period. Primary market issuance was robust, with approximately $224 billion of new supply for the Reporting Period overall. However, municipal bond mutual funds saw average investment inflows of $1.4 billion per week and the Reporting Period ended with 26 consecutive weeks of inflows. (Source: Lipper.)

For most states, the fiscal 2017 budget season ended on July 1, 2016 with little fanfare. State and local revenues continued to expand during fiscal 2016, though slowly, reflecting weak U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) and inflation rates. Those states and localities with greater dependence upon fossil fuel extraction and exploration had more challenging fiscal 2016 performance and consequently have more challenging fiscal 2017 budgets. That said, the firming of oil prices during the Reporting Period provided some stability to these affected states and localities. In addition, Illinois’ and Pennsylvania’s budget processes reflected a continuation of the political gridlock from the 2016 fiscal year, although some signs of easing were evident in both states. In terms of Puerto Rico, the passage by the U.S. Congress of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) on June 30, 2016 effectively stayed any potential litigation that could result from the commonwealth’s missed July 2016 debt payments. Given that the default had largely been anticipated by the municipal bond market because of earlier statements by Puerto Rico’s governor, the commonwealth’s general obligation bond prices were largely unchanged afterwards. On August 31, 2016, the White House announced the appointment of the seven members of the Financial Oversight and Management Board (“FOMB”) for Puerto Rico. In general, the appointments were viewed favorably by many of the parties who had an interest in solving the fiscal crisis in Puerto Rico. The appointed members appeared to have significant experience, which, in our view, should allow them to address the commonwealth’s issues, including expertise in budget management, pension reform, bankruptcy and first-hand knowledge of Puerto Rico’s financial and debt history. The passage of PROMESA and the appointments to the FOMB led to a rally in Puerto Rico credits during the Reporting Period.

MARKET REVIEW

 

 

High Yield Municipals

During the Reporting Period, the high yield municipal bond market outperformed the investment grade municipal bond market. The main drivers of outperformance among high yield municipal bonds were Puerto Rico credits and the tobacco sector. Both segments rose by more than 10%, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index, during the Reporting Period. As mentioned previously, the passage of PROMESA and the appointments to the FOMB led to a Puerto Rico credit rally, helping the commonwealth’s municipal bonds outpace the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Index for the Reporting Period as a whole.

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, municipal bond market technicals were weakening, with demand slowing and issuance increasing in advance of the U.S. presidential election in November 2016. That said, we believe the tax environment should continue to be supportive for municipal bonds, even if interest rates remain low. Although the size and timing of potential Fed action will likely be dependent on economic data, we continue to expect one interest rate increase before the end of 2016. Higher rates, in our view, could make the tax-exempt benefits of municipal bonds even more attractive and could boost the relative performance of the asset class. Meanwhile, we anticipate an increase in infrastructure investment by states and municipalities, and we expect their governments to take advantage of persistently low interest rates to issue debt. We also expect to see more headlines around pension cost escalation, as this remains a serious challenge for some states and localities.

In the months ahead, we intend to maintain our approach in which we focus on seeking attractive risk/return opportunities across maturities along the municipal bond yield curve and inclusive of all credit qualities. We will continue seeking to keep the Funds invested in the most tax-efficient manner.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

Goldman Sachs Dynamic Municipal Income Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Municipal Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Municipal Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, Service and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 3.74%, 3.42%, 3.98%, 3.65% and 3.87%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.33% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-10 Year Blend Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited overall from its sector positioning and bottom-up issue selection. The Fund’s exposure to longer maturity securities also added to relative performance, as the municipal yield curved flattened, meaning the differential between longer-term and shorter- term yields narrowed. In addition, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning enhanced results. (Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities.)

 

Q   Which municipal bond market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   As headlines about Puerto Rico became more constructive, the Fund was aided by its overweight position in Puerto Rico municipal bonds. The Fund’s overweights in the tobacco and hospital sectors also proved advantageous. Conversely, the Fund’s underweight in New York credits was a modest detractor, as the state’s municipal bonds outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   How did duration and yield curve positioning decisions affect the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund’s long duration positioning versus that of the Index bolstered relative performance, as longer maturity municipal yields fell during the Reporting Period. The Fund also benefited from its yield curve positioning relative to the Index, especially its exposure to the longer-maturity segment of the municipal yield curve, as the yield curve flattened.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund used municipal inverse variable rate securities to take advantage of the steepness of the municipal yield curve. Although the municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period overall, yields on shorter-term maturity municipal bonds remained lower than those on longer-term maturity municipal bonds. Municipal inverse variable rate securities have an inverse relationship to short-term interest rates — the interest rate they pay generally increases as short-term interest rates fall and vice versa — and they therefore have the potential to increase or decrease the Fund’s income. In addition, the Fund used municipal credit default swaps as we sought to capture the upside potential of select securities that were trading below what we considered their intrinsic value. Also, to manage against potential changes in interest rates, the Fund employed interest rate swap contracts and U.S. Treasury futures during the Reporting Period overall. Derivatives did not have a material impact, on a net basis, on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

Q   What changes did you make in the Fund’s weightings and investments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s exposures to special assessment and general obligation bonds. We decreased its allocations to hospital credits and tobacco bonds. In addition, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to higher quality A-rated issues. We increased the Fund’s exposure to lower quality BBB-rated issues and other lower credit quality rated municipal bonds.

 

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 held a longer duration position compared to that of the Index. It was underweight relative to the Index in higher credit quality investment grade municipal bonds and overweight in BBB-rated and other lower credit quality issues. Relative to the Index, the Fund was overweight in Puerto Rico, California and Texas municipal bonds and underweight in New York municipal bonds.

  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 Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-10 Year Blend Index is an unmanaged broad-based total return index composed of approximately 40,000 investment grade, fixed rate, and tax-exempt issues, with a remaining maturity of at least one year. 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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

 

  4    The 30-Day Taxable Equivalent Yield of the Fund is calculated by dividing the current 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield by 1 minus the highest 2015 federal income tax rate of 43.4%.

 

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. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

  5   The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) 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 and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Prior to July 29, 2009, the maximum initial sales charge applicable to Class A Shares of the Fund was 4.5%, which is not reflected in the figures shown. Because Institutional Shares, Service Shares 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 table above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 6.16%, 5.76%, 6.31% and 6.17%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.78% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund Composite Index (“High Yield Municipal Composite”), during the same time period.

 

      The High Yield Municipal Fund Composite is composed 60% of the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index (with dividends reinvested) and 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (with dividends reinvested), which generated cumulative total returns of 6.45% and 2.30%, respectively, during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s holdings of longer maturity securities added to relative performance, as the municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period, meaning the differential between longer-term and shorter-term yields narrowed. (Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities.) Individual issue selection within the tobacco sector also contributed positively. In addition, our tactical management of the Fund’s duration positioning enhanced results. (Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) Conversely, the Fund’s underweight compared to the High Yield Municipal Composite in Puerto Rico municipal bonds detracted from performance.

 

Q   Which municipal bond market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   The Fund’s overweight position relative to the High Yield Municipal Composite in the hospital sector boosted relative returns during the Reporting Period. An underweight position in tobacco municipal bonds detracted from performance, as the sector posted strong returns. However, as mentioned previously, individual issue selection within the tobacco sector added to the Fund’s relative returns.

 

Q   How did duration and yield curve positioning decisions affect the Fund’s performance?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the tactical management of the Fund’s duration positioning versus that of the High Yield Municipal Composite added to relative performance. The Fund benefited from a long duration position when municipal yields fell during the second quarter of 2016. Subsequently, our decision to shorten the Fund’s duration position aided performance as municipal yields rose during the third quarter of 2016. The Fund’s yield curve positioning did not have a meaningful impact on performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A  

The Fund used municipal credit default swaps as we sought to capture the upside potential of select securities that were trading below what we considered their intrinsic value. In addition, the Fund employed interest rate swaps, tied to LIBOR (London interbank offered rates, which are floating interest rates widely used as reference rates in bank,

corporate and government lending agreements), to manage the Fund’s duration position during the Reporting Period. Also during the Reporting Period, the Fund used municipal inverse variable rate securities to take advantage of the steepness of the municipal yield curve. Although the municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period overall, yields on shorter-term maturity municipal bonds remained lower than those on longer-term maturity municipal bonds. Municipal inverse variable rate securities have an inverse relationship to short-term interest rates — the interest rate they pay generally increases as short-term interest rates fall and vice versa — and they therefore have the potential to increase or decrease the Fund’s income. Derivatives did not have a material impact, on a net basis, on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   What changes did you make in the Fund’s weightings and investments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to the tobacco sector, increasing its underweight position versus the High Yield Municipal Composite. We increased the Fund’s allocation to the municipal debt of Illinois and decreased its exposure to the municipal debt of Florida.

 

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 High Yield Municipal Composite in the hospital sector and underweight in the tobacco sector. Compared to the High Yield Municipal Composite, the Fund was underweight higher credit quality AAA-rated and AA-rated issues and overweight lower credit quality BBB-rated and CCC-rated issues.

  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 Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund Composite Index is comprised of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index (60%) (with dividends reinvested) and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (40%) (with dividends reinvested).

 

  3    The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index is an unmanaged index made up of bonds that are non-investment grade, unrated, or rated below Ba1 by Moody’s Investors Service with a remaining maturity of at least one year. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index does not include any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  4    The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged broad-based total return index composed of approximately 40,000 investment grade, fixed rate, and tax-exempt issues, with a remaining maturity of at least one year. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  5    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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

 

  6    The 30-Day Taxable Equivalent Yield of the Fund is calculated by dividing the current 30-Day Standardized Subsidized Yield by 1 minus the highest 2015 federal income tax rate of 43.4%.

 

The returns set forth in the table above represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

  7   The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) 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 and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional and Class 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Municipal Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, Service and IR Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.95%, 0.75%, 1.21%, 0.96% and 1.08%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.33% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-3 Year Blend Index (with dividends reinvested) (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s duration and yield curve strategy contributed positively to relative results during the Reporting Period. (Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities.) In addition, the Fund’s performance was aided by its holdings of longer-term securities, as the municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period, meaning the differential between longer-term and shorter-term yields narrowed. In addition, sector positioning and bottom-up issue selection overall enhanced the Fund’s relative returns.

 

Q   Which municipal bond market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, our selection of general obligation bonds added to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s lower credit quality bias also supported positive returns, as municipal credit spreads (yield differentials versus taxable bonds of comparable maturity) tightened during the Reporting Period. In addition, the Fund’s investments in Puerto Rico municipal bonds bolstered results, as Puerto Rico credits rallied amidst positive headline news. Conversely, the Fund’s overweight in Florida credits detracted from relative returns, as Florida municipal bonds underperformed the Index during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   How did duration and yield curve positioning decisions affect the Fund’s performance?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s longer duration position relative to that of the Index contributed positively. Most of the outperformance occurred during the second quarter of 2016 when municipal securities rallied. These results were offset somewhat by the decline in municipal prices during the third calendar quarter.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund used municipal credit default swaps as we sought to capture the upside potential of select securities that were trading below what we considered their intrinsic value. Derivatives did not have a material impact, on a net basis, on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

Q   What changes did you make in the Fund’s weightings and investments during the Reporting Period?

 

A   We reduced the Fund’s exposure to appropriation credits during the Reporting Period. We increased its exposures to general obligation and water and sewer bonds. In addition, we increased the Fund’s allocation to the municipal debt of Massachusetts and decreased its exposure to the municipal debt of California.

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 had a slightly long duration position compared to that of the Index but in line with the Fund’s historical range. It was overweight relative to the Index in higher credit quality AAA-rated issues, BBB-rated issues and lower credit quality rated municipal bonds. In addition, the Fund was underweight California and Florida municipal bonds at the end of the Reporting Period.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Goldman Sachs Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The following table lists those series of the Trust that are included in this report (collectively, the “Funds” or individually a “Fund”), along with their corresponding share classes and respective diversification status under the Act:

 

Fund      Share Classes Offered    Diversified/
Non-diversified

Dynamic Municipal Income, Short Duration Tax-Free

    

A, C, Institutional, Service and IR

   Diversified

High Yield Municipal

    

A, C, Institutional and IR

   Non-diversified

Class A Shares of the Dynamic Municipal Income, High Yield Municipal and Short Duration Tax-Free Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75%, 4.50% and 1.50%, respectively. Class C Shares of Dynamic Municipal Income, High Yield Municipal and Short Duration Tax-Free Funds are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, 1.00% and 0.65%, respectively, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service and Class IR 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 management agreements (the “Agreements”) 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, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Statements 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 income. 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.

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. 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 applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

D.  Redemption Fees — A 2% redemption fee is imposed on the redemption of shares (including by exchange) of the High Yield Municipal Fund held for 60 calendar days or less. For this purpose, the High Yield Municipal Fund uses 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 the 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 the Fund on a pro-rata basis.

E.  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.

 

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).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved 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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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. As of the date of the financial statements, short-term debt obligations that matured in sixty days or less and did not exhibit signs of credit deterioration were valued at amortized cost, which approximated fair value. Effective October 11, 2016, short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), 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.  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.

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. A Fund enters into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are valued at the last sale or settlement price and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared 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 OTC and centrally cleared derivatives 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 and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

i.  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.

ii.  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 (“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, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the 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 a 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 and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. 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 a 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 upon settlement.

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 — As of the date of the financial statements, short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less were valued at amortized cost which approximated fair market value. Effective October 11, 2016, such securities are valued

using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources 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 United States (“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.

^   Effective Net Management Rate includes the impact of management fee waivers of affiliated underlying funds, if any.
(1)   GSAM agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in order to achieve net management rates, as defined in the Funds’ most recent prospectuses. These waivers will be effective through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without approval of the Trustees.

The Dynamic Municipal Income Fund invested in Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Investor Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (formerly the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Tax-Free Money Market Fund), which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, GSAM waived $11,557 of the Fund’s management fees.

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

 

101

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:

 

     Distribution and Service Plan Rates  
      Class A*      Class C  

Distribution Plan

     0.25      0.75

Service Plan

             0.25   

 

*   With respect to Class A 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.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs agreed to waive a portion of the distribution and service fees equal to 0.35% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Short Duration Tax-Free Fund. This arrangement will remain in place through at least July 29, 2017. Prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate this arrangement without the approval of the Trustees.

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 Shares front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained front end sales charges of $11,824, $20,924 and $1,374 for the Dynamic Municipal Income, High Yield Municipal and Short Duration Tax-Free Funds, respectively. Goldman Sachs retained no contingent deferred sales charges.

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. These plans allow for service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) to provide varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.

E.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.13% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class IR Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares. Goldman Sachs agreed to waive a portion of the transfer agency fee equal to 0.05% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class IR Shares of the High Yield Municipal Fund. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least July 29, 2017. Prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the trustees.

Effective July 29, 2016, Goldman Sachs agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.04% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, and Class IR Shares of the Short Duration Tax-Free Fund. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date, the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meeting, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for each Fund is 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 29, 2017, and prior

 

102

to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of September 30, 2016, the Funds participated in a $1,100,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates (“Other Borrowers”). This facility is to be used for temporary or emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — As of September 30, 2016, the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 9% of the Service Class Shares of the Dynamic Municipal Income Fund.

The Funds may purchase securities from, or sell securities to, an affiliated fund provided the affiliation is solely due to having a common investment adviser, common officers, or common trustees. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, the purchase and sale transactions for the Funds with an affiliated fund in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the Act were as follows:

As of September 30, 2016, the Funds’ aggregate securities unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Net unrealized security gain

  $ 46,307,086         $ 357,997,313         $ 23,787,109   

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses), as of the most recent fiscal year end, is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark to market gains/(losses) on regulated futures, differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, and market discount accretion and premium amortization.

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:

Derivatives Risk — Loss may result from the Funds’ investments in derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Losses from investments in derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by a Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with increasing rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but are expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and a Fund’s investments.

Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund.

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include the Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Liquidity Risk — A Fund 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 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. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.

Market and Credit Risks — In the normal course of business, a Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, a Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Non-Diversification Risk — The High Yield Municipal 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, the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting any single issuer held in its portfolio, and may be more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments.

Geographic and Sector Risk — As a result 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, political, environmental or other development may affect the value of a Fund’s investments more than if its investments were not so focused.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

State/Territory Specific Risk — A Fund’s investments in municipal obligations of issuers located in a particular state or U.S. territory may be adversely affected by political, economic and regulatory developments within that state or U.S. territory. Such developments may affect the financial condition of a state’s or territory’s political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and public authorities and heighten the risks associated with investing in bonds issued by such parties, which could, in turn, adversely affect a Fund’s income, NAV, liquidity, and/or ability to preserve or realize capital appreciation.

 

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. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS   

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

GOLDMAN SACHS MUNICIPAL FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service or Class IR 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) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares); and redemption fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service and Class IR Shares, if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C and Service Shares); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service and Class IR 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, 2016 through September 30, 2016, which represents a period of 183 days of a 365 day year.

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 ratio 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.

*   Expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended September 30, 2016. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows:

Background

The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Municipal Income Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund, and Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund (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 throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreements (the “Management Agreements”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.

The Management Agreements were most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2017 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreements 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 15-16, 2016 (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 three meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreements were last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreements were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:

  (a)   the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund 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 central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training);
  (iii)   trends in employee 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 Fund, 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”), a benchmark performance index, and a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser (in the case of the High Yield Municipal and Short Duration Tax-Free Funds); and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests;
  (c)   information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy;
  (d)   the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund;
  (e)   fee and expense information for the Fund, including:
  (i)   the relative management fee and expense level of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;
  (ii)   the Fund’s expense trends over time; and

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

  (iii)   to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser;
  (f)   with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund;
  (g)   the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations;
  (h)   information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;
  (i)   whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale;
  (j)   a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, distribution and other services;
  (k)   a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;
  (l)   information regarding portfolio trading and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution;
  (m)   portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;
  (n)   the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and
  (o)   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 Fund’s 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 payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. 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 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.

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreements at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and 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 the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees 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.

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

As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided 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. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. 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 and its affiliates.

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2015, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2016. The information on each Fund’s investment performance was provided for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ending on the applicable dates. The Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s investment performance 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 High Yield Municipal and Short Duration Tax-Free Funds’ performance to that of composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies 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 Trustees observed that the Dynamic Municipal Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the one-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016. They noted that the High Yield Municipal Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and in the third quartile for the ten-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and underperformed for the ten-year period ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees noted that the Short Duration Tax-Free Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the one-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the five-year period and underperformed for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreements and the fee rates payable by each Fund under its respective Management Agreement. 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.

 

113


GOLDMAN SACHS MUNICIPAL FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

In particular, the Trustees reviewed analyses prepared by the Outside Data Provider regarding the expense rankings of the Funds. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data 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 implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the Short Duration Tax-Free Fund that would have the effect of decreasing total Fund expenses, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Fund’s next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts 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 other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders 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. 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 information on 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 noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2015 and 2014, 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 Agreements for each of the Funds at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:

 

Average Daily Net Assets   

Dynamic Municipal
Income

       High Yield

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed 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 undertaking to waive a portion of its management fee (with respect to the Dynamic Municipal Income and Short Duration Tax-Free Funds) and to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels, as well as Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) undertaking to waive a portion of the distribution and service fees paid by the Short Duration Tax-Free Fund’s Class C Shares and a portion of the transfer agency fees paid by the High Yield Municipal Fund’s Class A, Class C, and Class IR Shares. 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 Municipal and Short Duration Tax-Free Funds, which each 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 relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by 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 more likely to do 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) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced 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 on behalf of the Funds 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. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered 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.

 

 

115


Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreements, 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 Agreements should be approved and continued with respect to each applicable Fund until June 30, 2017.

Market Review

Shifting expectations about global economic conditions and central bank monetary policy influenced the performance of the global fixed income markets during the six months ended September 30, 2016 (the “Reporting Period”).

During the second quarter of 2016 when the Reporting Period began, spread (or non-government bond) sectors rallied on stabilization of commodities prices as well as on declining fears about slowing Chinese economic growth and the potential for a United States (the “U.S.”) economic recession. Global interest rates broadly declined amid continued accommodative monetary policy from the world’s central banks. In the U.S., minutes from the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) April 2016 policy meeting, released in mid-May 2016, suggested to many observers that policymakers might raise interest rates in June 2016 if U.S. economic growth strengthened, employment data firmed and inflation rose toward the Fed’s 2% target. In early June 2016, however, the release of weak May 2016 employment data raised concerns about the health of the U.S. economy, pushing down market expectations of a Fed rate hike. Indeed, the Fed did not raise interest rates at its June 2016 policy meeting. In the last week of June 2016, the unexpected “leave” vote in the U.K. referendum on membership in the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, renewed investor uncertainty about the path of global economic growth. Spread sectors withstood the Brexit vote relatively well, selling off at first but then recovering most of their losses afterwards. The U.S. dollar strengthened versus most global currencies during the second calendar quarter, though it weakened against the Japanese yen.

During the third calendar quarter, spread sectors continued to advance. Overall, global interest rates remained low, as the world’s central banks remained broadly accommodative. In July 2016, however, the Fed’s policy statement was more hawkish than most observers expected, reflecting cautious optimism amid the market’s relatively muted reaction to the Brexit outcome and strengthening U.S. economic data. (Hawkish implies higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) The July 2016 U.S. non-farm payrolls report showed 255,000 new jobs added, exceeding market expectations and countering a disappointing second quarter 2016 Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) report that showed growth of 1.2%. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) kept interest rates unchanged during July 2016. The Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, fell short of market expectations with the announcement of an equity purchase program and the lack of key monetary measures, such as an interest rate cut and increased government bond purchases. In August 2016, the Bank of England (“BoE”) unveiled a “timely, coherent and comprehensive package,” as described by Governor Mark Carney, which included a number of measures intended to help the U.K. economy navigate a post-Brexit environment. Although the ECB kept monetary policy unchanged during the month, the European and U.K. credit markets received technical, or supply/demand, support from the ongoing corporate bond purchases of central banks. In the U.S., non-farm payroll gains moderated in August 2016 and manufacturing and services data weakened, but continued hawkish comments from the Fed boosted market expectations of a rate hike by the end of 2016. However, at its September 2016 policy meeting, the Fed kept short-term interest rates unchanged. In Japan, during September 2016, the BoJ announced a new “yield curve control” framework designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates. During the third quarter of 2016, the U.S. dollar depreciated versus many world currencies.

For the Reporting Period overall, high yield corporate bonds outperformed U.S. Treasuries by a double-digit margin, followed at some distance by sovereign emerging markets debt and

investment grade corporate bonds. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities also outperformed U.S. Treasuries, albeit more modestly. The U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, flattened during the Reporting Period, as yields on maturities of less than four years rose and yields on maturities of four years and longer fell. The yield on the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury dropped approximately 17 basis points to end the Reporting Period at 1.59%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point. A flattening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows.)

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the economic growth outlook for the U.S., Japan and China to improve. In the U.S., a strong labor market appeared to be supporting consumption, and a slower pace of monetary policy normalization should, in our view, prevent a sharp tightening of financial conditions. We also believed that positive developments in the manufacturing sector, arising from a decline in inventories as well as a boost in consumer spending due to a strengthening labor market, may further support U.S. economic growth for the rest of 2016. Despite “prudence in the removal of policy accommodation,” as described by Fed Governor Lael Brainard before the September 2016 policy meeting, we expect the Fed to raise short term rates later in 2016.

In Europe, we expect the ECB to extend its quantitative easing program beyond March 2017, when it is currently scheduled to end, to address a weak economic growth and inflation outlook. We believe Eurozone inflation will likely continue to be disappointing and that economic growth may slow in 2017. While the U.K. appears to have avoided the worst immediate near-term Brexit scenario, we expect additional easing from the BoE in the coming months. Political uncertainty arising from negotiations on issues such as immigration and access to the European Union’s single market are likely, in our view, to provide challenges for the U.K.’s economic outlook, and thus we anticipate weak economic growth in the U.K. during 2017.

In Japan, we believe the continuation and expansion of the BoJ’s accommodative monetary policy means economic growth could potentially surprise to the upside, though we believe Abenomics is running out of ammunition. In China, the government’s rapid fiscal policy response to the economic slowdown earlier in 2016 suggests to us that the country’s positive growth impulses are likely to continue in the near term. (Abenomics is the nickname for the multi-pronged economic program of Japanese prime minister Shinzō Abe.)

In the months ahead, we believe that political uncertainty has the potential to increase market volatility. These uncertainties include the November 2016 U.S. elections, the December 2016 Italian referendum on constitutional reform and 2017 elections in Germany and France.

Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to generate return in excess of traditional money market products while maintaining an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Institutional, Administration, IR and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.63%, 0.80%, 0.67%, 0.75% and 0.80%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.34% cumulative total return of the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund Composite Index (the “Enhanced Income Composite”) during the same period. The Enhanced Income Composite is comprised 50% of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (“BofA ML Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index”) and 50% of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index (“BofA ML One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index”), which generated cumulative total returns of 0.33% and 0.35%, respectively, over the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Both bottom-up and top-down strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Bottom-up individual issue selection amongst corporate bonds boosted results, while selection amongst asset-backed securities detracted.

 

    Within our top-down strategies, our duration and yield curve positioning strategy had a modestly positive effect on the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector. Our cross-sector strategy also contributed positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark.

 

    Derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and/or futures, are used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Our individual security selection strategies overall contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period, especially individual selection of short-dated corporate bonds. Within the government/ swaps sector, our selection of Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) also proved effective. These gains were slightly offset by selection of asset-backed securities, which detracted.

 

    Our cross-sector strategy as a whole also contributed positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period due mostly to the Fund’s exposure to corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. Investment grade corporate bonds strengthened during the Reporting Period given an improvement in oil prices, continued support from the European Central Bank’s Corporate Sector Purchase Programme and the Bank of England’s announcement of corporate bond purchases. Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) asset-backed securities offered what many considered to be attractive spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, along with strong credit protection. Indeed, FFELP asset-backed securities remained, in our view, among the most compelling sectors in the securitized sector. These gains were slightly offset by the Fund’s exposure to swap spreads, which detracted.

    (Swap spreads are defined as the difference between the interest rate on a contract and the yield on a government bond of the same maturity. It is used to represent the credit risk associated with the investment. Swap spreads are based on LIBOR rates, the creditworthiness of the swap’s parties, and other economic factors that could influence the terms of the investment’s interest rates.) The government/swaps selection strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures.

 

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

 

A   Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning did not have a material impact on Fund performance during the Reporting Period. We generally maintained a modestly shorter duration than that of the Enhanced Income Composite. This stance was based on positive U.S. economic data releases, as reflected by strong manufacturing data, higher consumer confidence and firm core inflation and inflation expectations, along with relatively loose financial conditions, which led us to continue to expect an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) this year.

 

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

 

A   The Fund used Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures during the Reporting Period for the purpose of managing the duration and term structure of the Fund. (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.) Derivatives did not have a material impact, on a net basis, on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s allocations to U.S. Treasuries increased during the Reporting Period. A corresponding decrease in allocation was concentrated in investment grade corporate bonds, especially in the financials and industrials sectors. Additionally, we modestly shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   While the Fund is benchmarked to U.S. Treasuries, it continued to hold a portion of its assets in non-Treasury sectors not represented in the Enhanced Income Composite. Indeed, the Fund maintained exposures to high quality spread, or non-Treasury, sectors throughout the Reporting Period, most notably investment grade corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. The Fund maintained an underweighted exposure to government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. Further, the Fund maintained a shorter duration position than that of the Enhanced Income Composite at the end of the Reporting Period, as we continue to expect an interest rate hike in the U.S. this year.

  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 Enhanced Income Composite is an equal weight blend of the BofA ML Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the BofA ML One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index.

 

  3    The BofA ML Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures the performance of Treasury Bill with time to maturity of less than 6 months. The BofA ML One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of the direct sovereign debt of the U.S. Government having a maturity of at least one year. The BofA ML Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and BofA ML One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index, as reported by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  4    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 Standardized 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs

Government Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended

September 30, 2016 (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, Service, IR, R6 and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 1.49%, 1.11%, 1.66%, 1.41%, 1.62%, 1.68% and 1.44%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.75% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Mortgage Index (the “Barclays Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Both top-down and bottom-up strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Within our top-down strategies, our duration strategy detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The duration strategy is typically implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Bottom-up individual issue selection within the securitized sector also detracted.

 

    Our cross-sector strategy contributed positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Bottom-up individual issue selection within the government/swaps sector added significant value as well.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Individual issue selection within the securitized sector detracted most from the Fund’s relative results, more specifically among mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. However, this detraction was more than offset by the positive contribution of individual security selection within the government/swaps sector. Primarily, the inclusion of Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) and agency securities helped.

 

    Within our cross-sector strategy, the inclusion of asset- backed securities was additive to Fund performance. Within asset-backed securities, Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) asset-backed securities, or what are commonly termed student loans, offered what many considered to be attractive spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, along with strong credit protection. Indeed, FFELP asset-backed securities remained, in our view, among the most compelling sectors in the securitized sector. An overweight to agency securities helped as well. Having a modest underweight to mortgage-backed securities through much of the Reporting Period was a slight detractor from the Fund’s relative results.

 

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

 

A   The combination of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Most of this can be attributed to the Fund’s shorter duration than that of the Barclays Index in June 2016 following the Brexit-induced sell-off, as U.S. rates rallied following the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union. However, this was partially offset during the third quarter of 2016, especially during the August 2016 sell-off, when the Fund’s modestly shorter duration position than that of the Barclays Index contributed positively, as rates then rose.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

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

 

A   The Fund used Treasury futures, Eurodollar futures and bond exchange traded futures contracts to hedge interest rate exposure, i.e., to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Interest rate swaps were used to hedge interest rate exposure and express an outright duration and 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.) The Fund employed swaptions (or options on interest rate swap contracts) to hedge and express an outright term structure view and to help manage volatility. The Fund used forward contracts to help manage duration. Derivatives generally contributed positively toward relative performance during the Reporting Period.

 

    Overall, we employ derivatives for the efficient management of the Fund’s portfolio. Derivatives and similar instruments allow us to manage interest rate risks more effectively by allowing us both to apply active investment views with greater versatility and to afford greater risk management precision than we would otherwise be able to implement.

 

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

 

A   We adjusted the Fund’s positioning in mortgage-backed securities during the Reporting Period, but maintained an underweighted allocation relative to the Barclays Index throughout. Our shifts within the sector were impacted by the Fed’s reinvestment of mortgage-backed securities, especially its large reinvestment in September 2016, as well as by strong demand from foreign investors for mortgage-backed securities. These factors influenced our view of relative value, expectations of prepayments and anticipation of supply/demand dynamics. Additionally, we modestly shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   At the end of September 2016, the Fund had overweighted allocations relative to the Barclays Index on a market-value weighted basis in asset-backed securities, quasi-government securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and agency residential mortgage-backed securities. The Fund was underweight relative to the Barclays Index in U.S. government securities. On a contribution to duration basis, it should be noted, the Fund was modestly underweight agency residential mortgage-backed securities at the end of September 2016. The Fund had a modestly shorter duration than that of the Barclays Index at the end of the Reporting Period. (Contribution to duration is a way of measuring allocation that takes into account both the market value weight and also the duration risk.)

  2    The Barclays Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of U.S. government bonds and mortgage-related securities. The Barclays Index does 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.

Goldman Sachs High Quality Floating Rate Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income, consistent with low volatility of principal.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs High

Quality Floating Rate Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended

September 30, 2016 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Institutional, Service, IR and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.85%, 0.97%, 0.72%, 0.93% and 0.98%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.17% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (“BofA ML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index”).

 

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

 

A   Both top-down and bottom-up strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Within our top-down strategies, our cross-sector strategy contributed most positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Our duration and yield curve positioning strategy detracted from Fund performance. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

 

    Bottom-up individual issue selection within the government/swaps strategy contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. This was somewhat offset by issue selection among securitized securities, which detracted.

 

    The duration and government/swaps selection strategies are primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/ or futures. Derivatives are used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Cross-sector positioning was the primary positive contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, especially exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Recovering commodity prices and accommodative global central policy bolstered recent spread compression, or narrowing of the yield differential to U.S. Treasuries. Agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed duration-neutral U.S. Treasuries by 64 basis points during the third quarter of 2016. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The sector benefited from relatively low volatility and demand from foreign investors and domestic commercial banks looking for yield. There were no material detractors within the cross-sector strategy during the Reporting Period.

 

    Individual issue selection of U.S. Treasuries and of Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) within the government/swaps sector was additive to relative results during the Reporting Period. Within the securitized sector, selection of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) added value, however these gains were offset by our selection of asset-backed securities, which detracted.

 

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

 

A  

Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from its results during the Reporting Period, mainly due to an underweight to the five-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, in June 2016. We generally maintained a modestly shorter duration than that of the BofA ML Three- Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index during the Reporting Period. This stance was based on positive U.S. economic data

releases, as reflected by strong manufacturing data, higher consumer confidence and firm core inflation and inflation expectations, along with relatively loose financial conditions, which led us to continue to expect an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) this year. (Loose financial conditions are those wherein money supply is generally easily accessible to citizens.)

 

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

 

A   The Fund used Treasury futures during the Reporting Period for the purpose of managing the duration and term structure of the Fund. (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.) Derivatives did not have a material impact, on a net basis, on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s exposure to government securities increased during the Reporting Period. A corresponding decrease in allocation was concentrated in commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, we modestly shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   While the Fund is benchmarked to U.S. Treasuries, it held a significant portion of its assets in non-Treasury sectors not represented in the benchmark index at the end of the Reporting Period. Indeed, the Fund maintained exposures to high quality spread, or non-Treasury, sectors throughout the Reporting Period, most notably agency mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The Fund maintained an underweighted exposure to government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. Further, the Fund maintained a shorter duration position than that of the BofA ML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index at the end of the Reporting Period, as we continue to expect an interest rate hike in the U.S. this year.

  2    The BofA ML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures total return on cash, including price and interest income, based on short-term government Treasury Bills of about 90-day maturity, as reported by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged 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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Inflation Protected Securities Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, R6 and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 2.71%, 2.26%, 2.91%, 2.90%, 2.83% and 2.59%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.69% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index (“Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Bottom-up individual issue selection of various maturity U.S. Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) was the key positive contributor to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

    The Fund’s duration strategy detracted from its results during the Reporting Period. The duration strategy for the Fund is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Furthermore, derivatives are used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve positioning, which indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector, contributed positively to Fund performance during the Reporting Period.

 

    The Fund’s cross-sector strategy detracted more modestly from its results during the Reporting Period. The cross- sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark, including interest rate swaps and/or futures.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Individual issue selection of various maturity TIPS contributed most positively to Fund performance during the Reporting Period. Particularly beneficial to relative results was the Fund’s tactical positioning in TIPS with maturities of less than seven years. TIPS were generally supported during the Reporting Period by recovering commodity prices, specifically that of oil, as well as positive U.S. labor market data. There were no significant detractors from a sector perspective during the Reporting Period.

 

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 strategy detracted from its relative results during the Reporting Period, driven by an underweight to U.S. rates in June 2016. U.S. rates rallied following the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, and thus the Fund’s modestly shorter duration than that of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index hurt. This was partially offset by tactical positioning along the yield curve, which contributed positively. The Fund was effectively positioned with an emphasis on the seven-year and 20-year segments of the yield curve and with less emphasis on the five-year and 10-year segments of the yield curve.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

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

 

A   The Fund used Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures to hedge interest rate exposure and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. We used interest rate and bond exchange traded futures contracts to help implement duration positioning within the Fund. Interest rate swaps were similarly used to manage 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.)

 

    The use of derivatives to manage interest rate risk contributed positively to performance. The use of derivatives to express views on the yield curve — from a bottom-up security selection perspective — also contributed positively to performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   We tactically managed our views on inflation in the Fund via varying allocations to TIPS throughout the Reporting Period. That said, there were no notable changes in the Fund’s weightings. The Fund remained overweight to TIPS with maturities of less than seven years, while concurrently remaining underweight TIPS with maturities of greater than seven years. We also maintained the Fund’s modestly shorter U.S. duration stance than that of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index, as improving U.S. economic data pointed to a rise in interest rates, in our view.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   At the end of September 2016, the Fund had most of its total net assets invested in TIPS, with the remainder in cash. We maintained our bias toward the short, i.e. less than seven years, end of the TIPS rate curve. The Fund had a marginally shorter duration than the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index at the end of the Reporting Period, as we continued to expect the Fed to raise interest rates in 2016.

 

    Our view is that U.S. economic growth is likely to improve in the months ahead. We believe fiscal policy is likely to add stimulus regardless of the outcome of the U.S. elections. Further, we believe that Fed policy on interest rates is likely to continue to be “lower for longer.” Though forward inflation expectations have been decreasing given global economic concerns, we note that several popular measures of inflation, including the Consumer Price Index and the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, have been trending higher in 2016 year-to-date given positive labor market data, increasing home prices and medical care costs.

 

    Going forward, we intend to continue to closely monitor macro developments both domestically and abroad for the potential impact on inflation expectations as we position the Fund’s portfolio.

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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index represents securities that protect against adverse inflation and provide a minimum level of real return. To be included in this index, bonds must have cash flows linked to an inflation index, be sovereign issues denominated in U.S. currency, and have more than one year to maturity, and, as a portion of the index, total a minimum amount outstanding of 100 million U.S. dollars. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index does 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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

Investment Objective

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

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, Service, IR and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.46%, 0.26%, 0.63%, 0.38%, 0.69% and 0.64%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.39% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index (“BofA ML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Both top-down and bottom-up strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Within our top-down strategies, our cross-sector strategy was the primary positive contributor to relative performance. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Our duration and yield curve positioning strategy detracted from relative performance. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

 

    Bottom-up individual issue selection amongst government securities and Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) contributed positively to the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period, while our selection of mortgage-backed securities detracted.

 

    Derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and/or futures, are used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Sector positioning was the primary positive contributor to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. The majority of outperformance came from exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities and agency debentures. Recovering commodity prices and accommodative global central policy bolstered recent spread compression, or narrowing of the yield differential to U.S. Treasuries. Agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed duration-neutral U.S. Treasuries by 64 basis points during the third quarter of 2016. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The sector benefited from relatively low volatility and demand from foreign investors and domestic commercial banks looking for yield. These gains were slightly offset by exposure to U.S. Treasury swaps, which detracted.

 

    Individual issue selection of government securities and TIPS were additive to relative results, while our selection of mortgage pass-throughs and collateralized mortgage obligations detracted from performance.

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

 

A   Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from its results during the Reporting Period, mainly due to an underweight to the five-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, in June 2016. We generally maintained a modestly shorter duration than that of the BofA ML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index during the Reporting Period. This stance was based on positive U.S. economic data releases, as reflected by strong manufacturing data, higher consumer confidence and firm core inflation and inflation expectations, along with relatively loose financial conditions, which led us to continue to expect an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) this year.

 

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

 

A   The Fund used Treasury futures, Eurodollar futures and interest rate swaps during the Reporting Period for the purpose of managing the duration and term structure of the Fund. (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.) The Fund used forward sales contracts and futures contracts to help manage duration. Derivatives did not have a material impact, on a net basis, on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s exposure to government securities increased during the Reporting Period. A corresponding decrease in allocation was concentrated in mortgage-backed securities and cash. Additionally, we modestly shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   While the Fund is benchmarked to U.S. Treasuries, it continued to hold a portion of its assets in non-Treasury sectors not represented in the benchmark index. Indeed, the Fund maintained exposures to high quality spread, or non-Treasury, sectors throughout the Reporting Period, most notably agency mortgage-backed securities. The Fund maintained an underweighted exposure to government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. Further, as indicated, the Fund maintained a shorter duration position than that of the BofA ML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index at the end of the Reporting Period, as we continue to expect an interest rate hike in the U.S. this year.

  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 BofA ML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index is a one-security index comprised of the most recently issued 2-year U.S. Treasury note. The BofA ML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index is rebalanced monthly. In order to qualify for inclusion, a 2-year note must be auctioned on or before the third business day before the last business day of the month. The BofA ML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged 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 Standardized 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.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Liquidity Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, R6 and R Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 1.81%, 1.61%, 1.98%, 1.93%, 2.07% and 1.68%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.27% cumulative total return of the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Income Fund Composite Index (the “Short Duration Income Composite”) during the same period. The Short Duration Income Composite is comprised 50% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Corporate Bond Index and 50% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index, which generated cumulative total returns of 1.92% and 0.63%, respectively, over the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Both top-down and bottom-up strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Within our top-down strategies, our cross-sector strategy contributed positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Our country strategy also added to relative results, with performance driven by relative value trades.

 

    Our duration and yield curve positioning strategy detracted from Fund performance. Duration is a measure of the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector. Our currency strategy detracted, with the Fund’s exposure to the Mexican peso detracting from returns due to the political risk ahead of the U.S. election.

 

    Bottom-up individual issue selection amongst the corporate, securitized, government and emerging markets debt sectors contributed positively to the Fund’s results.

 

    The duration, country, currency and government/swaps selection strategies are primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Derivatives are used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Sector positioning contributed positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, with overweighted allocations to asset-backed securities, securitized securities and collateralization loan obligations (“CLOs”) performing best. Recovering commodity prices and accommodative global central policy bolstered recent spread compression, or narrowing of the yield differential to U.S. Treasuries. Agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed duration-neutral U.S. Treasuries by 64 basis points during the third quarter of 2016. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The sector benefited from relatively low volatility and demand from foreign investors and domestic commercial banks looking for yield. These gains were slightly offset by the Fund’s underweight to corporate bonds during the third quarter of 2016, as spreads, or yields differentials to U.S. Treasuries, tightened. An improvement in oil prices, continued support from the European Central Bank’s Corporate Sector Purchase Programme and the Bank of England’s announcement of corporate bond purchases buoyed corporate assets during the third quarter of 2016.

 

   

Individual issue selection of high yield corporate bonds, especially in the industrials sector, contributed positively to Fund results during the Reporting Period. In addition, selection of mortgage-backed securities and CLOs within

the securitized sector proved positive, while our selection of asset-backed securities detracted. Within the emerging markets debt sector, the Fund’s exposure to the external debt of Venezuela was additive.

 

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

 

A   Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from its results during the Reporting Period, mainly due to an underweight to the five-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, in June 2016. We generally maintained a modestly shorter duration than that of the Short Duration Income Composite during the Reporting Period. This stance was based on positive U.S. economic data releases, as reflected by strong manufacturing data, higher consumer confidence and firm core inflation and inflation expectations, along with relatively loose financial conditions, which led us to continue to expect an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) this year.

 

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

 

A   The Fund used Treasury futures, Eurodollar and interest rate swaps and options during the Reporting Period for the purpose of managing the duration and term structure of the Fund. (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.) The Fund employed credit default swaps to manage the credit profile of the Fund. The Fund used forward foreign currency transactions to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exposure and increase total return. Derivatives did not have a material impact, on a net basis, on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s allocations to government securities and asset- backed securities increased during the Reporting Period. A corresponding decrease in allocation was concentrated in residential mortgage-backed securities, high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds. Additionally, we modestly shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   While the Fund is benchmarked to an equally-balanced composite of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Corporate Bond Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index, it held a portion of its assets in non-Treasury sectors not represented in the Short Duration Income Composite. Indeed, the Fund maintained exposure to high quality spread, or non-Treasury, sectors throughout the Reporting Period, most notably agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, high yield corporate bonds and emerging markets debt. The Fund also had exposure to government bonds and investment grade corporate bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. Further, the Fund maintained a shorter U.S. duration position than that of the Short Duration Income Composite at the end of the Reporting Period, as we continue to expect an interest rate hike in the U.S. this year.

Goldman Sachs Short-Term Conservative Income Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to generate current income and secondarily maintain an emphasis on preservation of capital and liquidity.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Effective July 29, 2016, Goldman Sachs Limited Maturity Obligations Fund was re-named Goldman Sachs Short-Term Conservative Income Fund (the “Fund”) and changed its benchmark. Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Fund’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Institutional and Administration Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 0.57% and 0.44%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.40% cumulative total return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Short-Term Government/Corporate Index (“Bloomberg Barclays Index”), during the same time period. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-6 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, (“BofA ML 3-6 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index”) had a cumulative total return of 0.24% during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Both bottom-up and top-down strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Bottom-up individual issue selection amongst corporate bonds and government/agency securities were the main drivers of performance during the Reporting Period, contributing positively.

 

    Within our top-down strategies, our cross-sector strategy contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Our cross-sector strategy is one in which we invest Fund assets across a variety of fixed income sectors, including some that may not be included in the Fund’s benchmark. Our duration and yield curve positioning strategy detracted from the Fund’s performance. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

 

Q   Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Fund performance?

 

A   Our individual security selection strategies were the primary positive contributors to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period, especially individual selection of government securities and short-dated corporate bonds.

 

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

 

A   Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, mainly due to an underweight to the six-month and one-year segments of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, in June 2016. We generally maintained a modestly shorter duration than that of the Bloomberg Barclays Index during the Reporting Period. This stance was based on positive U.S. economic data releases, as reflected by strong manufacturing data, higher consumer confidence and firm core inflation and inflation expectations, along with relatively loose financial conditions, which led us to continue to expect an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) this year.

 

    As mentioned earlier, duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

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

 

A   The Fund does not use derivatives.

 

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

 

A   Some of the changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period were as a result of the change in its primary benchmark. To a more significant degree, the Fund’s allocation to short-term investments increased during the Reporting Period, and a corresponding decrease in allocation was concentrated in corporate obligations. Additionally, we modestly shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of September 2016?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had built an emphasis on municipal securities, repurchase agreements, corporate credit and asset-backed commercial paper. Further, as indicated, the Fund maintained a shorter duration position than that of the Bloomberg Barclays Index at the end of the Reporting Period, as we continue to expect an interest rate hike in the U.S. this year.

  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 Bloomberg Barclays Index measures the performance of US dollar-denominated US Treasury bonds, government related bonds, and investment grade US corporate bonds.

 

  3    The BofA ML 3-6 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures total return on cash, including price and interest income, based on short-term government Treasury Bills of about 90 to 180-day maturity. The BofA ML 3-6 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is unmanaged, does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  4    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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

 

  STANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURNS5
     For the period ended 9/30/16      One Year        Since Inception        Inception Date
  Institutional        0.95        0.59      2/28/14
    Administration        0.70           0.35         2/28/14

 

  5    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. Because Institutional Shares and Administration 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.

  6    The expense ratios of the Fund, both current (net of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and before waivers (gross of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) are as set forth above according to the most recent publicly available Prospectus for the Fund and may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in the Financial Highlights in this report. Pursuant to a contractual arrangement, the Fund’s waivers and/or expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date the investment adviser may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. If these arrangements are discontinued in the future, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval.

  (a)   Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology.
  (b)   Assumes investment at the NAV at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the NAV 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)   Amount is less than $0.005 per share.

Class A Shares of the Enhanced Income, Government Income, High Quality Floating Rate, Inflation Protected Securities, Short Duration Government and Short Duration Income Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 1.50%, 3.75%, 1.50%, 3.75%, 1.50% and 1.50%, respectively. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% (0.65% for Short Duration Government and Short Duration Income Funds), which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Administration, Service, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 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 (each, an “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, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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

 

104


GOLDMAN SACHS SHORT DURATION AND GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Statements 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 income. 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.

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. 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 applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.

D.  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. With the exception of the Inflation Protected Securities Fund, income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly, and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually. As of May 1, 2016, income and capital distributions, if any, will be declared and paid quarterly with respect to the Inflation Protected Securities Fund.

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.

E.  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 translations. 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.

F.  In-Kind Transactions — The Funds may allow investors, under certain circumstances, to purchase shares with securities instead of cash. In addition, the Trust reserves the right to redeem an investor’s shares by distributing securities instead of cash. These are known as in-kind transactions. Securities included as part of in-kind purchases and redemptions of Fund shares are valued in the same manner as they are valued for purposes of computing a Fund’s NAV, in accordance with the Funds’ Valuation Procedures, and such valuations are as of the date the trade is submitted pursuant to the procedures specified in the Funds’ prospectus.

 

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).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved 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:

Money Market Funds — Investments in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund (“Underlying Fund”) are valued at the NAV of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

GOLDMAN SACHS SHORT DURATION AND GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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. As of the date of the financial statements, short-term debt obligations that matured in sixty days or less and that did not exhibit signs of credit deterioration were valued at amortized cost, which approximated fair value. Effective October 11, 2016, short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), 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 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. The Funds account for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realize gains and losses on these transactions.

iv.  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.

v.  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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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.

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The Funds enter into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are valued at the last sale or settlement price and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared 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 OTC and centrally cleared derivatives 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 and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

i.  Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is a forward contract in which 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. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

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.  Option Contracts — When a Fund writes call or put option contracts, 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.

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

 

108


GOLDMAN SACHS SHORT DURATION AND GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms.

iv.  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 (“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, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the 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 a 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 and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. 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 a 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 upon settlement.

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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

Short-Term Investments — As of the date of the financial statements, short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less were valued at amortized cost which approximated fair market value. Effective October 11, 2016, such securities are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. 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 gross value of repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.

An MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation of the transaction, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An 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. 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.

ii.  Commercial Paper — Commercial paper normally represents short-term unsecured promissory notes issued in bearer form by banks or bank holding companies, corporations, finance companies and other issuers. Commercial paper consists of direct U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of domestic or foreign issuers. Asset-backed commercial paper is issued by a special purpose entity that is organized to issue the commercial paper and to purchase trade receivables or other financial assets.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

To the extent investments are valued using single source broker quotations obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs (examples include but are not limited to single source broker quotations, third party pricing, etc.) for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

(b)   Aggregate of amounts include $69,957 for the Inflation Protected Securities Fund which represent the payments to be made pursuant to bilateral agreements should counterparties exercise their “right to terminate” provisions based on, among others, the Fund’s performance, their failure to pay on their obligations or failure to pledge collateral. 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 Funds are 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, 2016. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to create investment opportunities and/or 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:

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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps) 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS SHORT DURATION AND GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued)

 

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. 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 initial margin to the counterparty, 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 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 the Investment Adviser 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 to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

 

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

A.  Management Agreement — Under the Agreement, GSAM manages the Funds, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees.

As compensation for the services rendered pursuant to the Agreement, the assumption of the expenses related thereto and administration of the Funds’ business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

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:

 

     Distribution and Service Plan Rates  
      Class A*      Class C      Class R*  

Distribution Plan

     0.25      0.75      0.50

Service Plan

             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.

Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of the distribution and service fees applicable to the Short Duration Government Fund’s and Short Duration Income Fund’s Class C Shares in an amount equal to a minimum of 0.35% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets. These arrangements will remain in place through July 29, 2017, for Short Duration Government and Short Duration Income Funds. Prior to such date Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the trustees.

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 Shares’ front end sales charge and Class C Shares’ CDSC. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts:

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. These plans allow for service organizations to provide varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.

E.  Administration Plan — The Trust, on behalf of each Fund that offers Administration Shares, has adopted an Administration Plan. This plan allows for service organizations to provide certain account administration services to their customers who are

beneficial owners of such Shares. The Administration Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Administration Shares.

F.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.13% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares; 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares; 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional, Administration and Service Shares.

Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of its transfer agency fee equal to 0.03% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Institutional and Administration Shares of the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least October 31, 2016, and prior to such date, the Investment Advisor may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

G.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meeting, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for Enhanced Income, Government Income, High Quality Floating Rate, Inflation Protected Securities, Short Duration Government, Short Duration Income and Short-Term Conservative Income Funds are 0.064%, 0.004%, 0.014%, 0.044%, 0.004%, 0.014% and 0.004% respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 29, 2017 and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

Goldman Sachs may voluntarily waive a portion of any payments under a Fund’s Distribution and Service Plan, Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan, Transfer Agency Agreement, and/or Management Agreement and these waivers may exceed what is stipulated in any fee waiver arrangements (as applicable). These temporary waivers may be modified or terminated at any time at the option of Goldman Sachs without shareholder approval.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

H.  Line of Credit Facility — As of September 30, 2016, the Funds participated in a $1,100,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates (“Other Borrowers”). This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

I.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs earned approximately $13,791, $8,317, $6,501, $9,189, $79,234 and $14,169 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Enhanced Income, Government Income, High Quality Floating Rate, Inflation Protected Securities, Short Duration Government, and Short Duration Income Funds, respectively.

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark-to-market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts and foreign currency contracts, and differences related to the tax treatment of underlying funds, inflation protected securities, swap transactions, premium amortization and the accretion of market discount.

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:

Derivatives Risk — Loss may result from the Funds’ investments in derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Losses from investments in derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by a Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with increasing rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but may be expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and the Funds’ investments.

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact a Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Liquidity Risk — A Fund 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 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. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.

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 or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Short Position Risk — A Fund may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that the Fund may purchase for investment. Taking short positions involves leverage of a Fund’s assets and presents various risks. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which a Fund has taken a short position increases, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in value from the time that the short position was entered into plus any related interest payments or other fees. Taking short positions involves the risk that losses may be disproportionate, may exceed the amount invested, and may be unlimited.

State/Territory Specific Risk — A Fund’s investments in municipal obligations of issuers located in a particular state or U.S. territory may be adversely affected by political, economic and regulatory developments within that state or U.S. territory. Such developments may affect the financial condition of a state’s or territory’s political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and public authorities and heighten the risks associated with investing in bonds issued by such parties, which could, in turn, adversely affect a Fund’s income, NAV, liquidity, and/or ability to preserve or realize capital appreciation.

 

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. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2016  (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Administration, Service, Class IR, Class R or Class R6 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 C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A 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 C, Institutional, Administration, Service, Class IR, Class R or Class R6 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, 2016 through September 30, 2016, which represents a period of 183 days of a 365-day year.

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.

*   Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended September 30, 2016. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows:

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited)

 

Background

The Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund, Goldman Sachs High Quality Floating Rate Fund, Goldman Sachs Inflation Protected Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Short Duration Income Fund, and Goldman Sachs Short-Term Conservative Income Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs Limited Maturity Obligations Fund) (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 throughout the year. In addition, the Board of Trustees determines annually whether to approve the continuance of the Trust’s investment management agreements (the “Management Agreements”) with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) on behalf of the Funds.

The Management Agreements were most recently approved for continuation until June 30, 2017 by the Board of Trustees, including those Trustees who are not parties to the Management Agreements 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 15-16, 2016 (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 three meetings over the course of the year since the Management Agreements were last approved. At those Committee meetings, regularly scheduled Board or other committee meetings, and/or the Annual Meeting, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreements were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:

  (a)   the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund 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 central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training);
  (iii)   trends in employee 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 Fund, 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”), a benchmark performance index, and a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser (in the case of the Enhanced Income, High Quality Floating Rate, Short Duration Government, and Short Duration Income Funds); and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests;
  (c)   information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy;
  (d)   the terms of the Management Agreements and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund;
  (e)   fee and expense information for the Fund, including:
  (i)   the relative management fee and expense level of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;
  (ii)   the Fund’s expense trends over time; and
  (iii)   to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser;
  (f)   with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund;
  (g)   the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations;

  (h)   information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreements and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;
  (i)   whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale;
  (j)   a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, distribution and other services;
  (k)   a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;
  (l)   information regarding portfolio trading and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution;
  (m)   portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;
  (n)   the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreements; and
  (o)   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 Fund’s 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 payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. 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 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.

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds for which the Board of Trustees has responsibility. In evaluating the Management Agreements at the Annual Meeting, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Investment Adviser and 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 the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees 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.

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

As part of their review, the Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided 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. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. 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 and its affiliates.

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and (except with respect to the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund) ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2015, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer groups identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2016. The information on each

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 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 Enhanced Income, High Quality Floating Rate, Short Duration Government, and Short Duration Income Funds’ performance to that of composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies 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 Trustees noted that the Enhanced Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group for the one- and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the three- and five-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees noted that the Government Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the top half of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016. They observed that the High Quality Floating Rate Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the five- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2016. They noted that the Inflation Protected Securities Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees noted that the Short Duration Government Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the five-year period, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2016. They observed that the Short Duration Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees observed that the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2016. They also considered that the Enhanced Income Fund, High Quality Floating Rate Fund, Short Duration Government Fund, Short Duration Income Fund, and Short-Term Conservative Income Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in the first quarter of 2016.

Costs of Services Provided and Competitive Information

The Trustees considered the contractual terms of the Management Agreements 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. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints (with the exception of the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund, which does not have breakpoints) to those of relevant a peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data 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 (with the exception of the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund, which does not have 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 implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. They noted that the Investment Adviser and Goldman Sachs had waived fees and reimbursed expenses for the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund in order to maintain positive yields. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts 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 other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

 

In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders 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. 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 information on 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 noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2015 and 2014, 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 Agreements for each of the Funds (other than the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund) at the following annual percentage rates of the average daily net assets of the Funds:

Over $8 billion     0.22        0.45        0.32        0.26        0.41        0.32   

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed 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 its management fees (with respect to each Fund other than the Enhanced Income and Short Duration Income Funds) and to limit certain expenses of the Funds that exceed specified levels, as well as Goldman, Sachs & Co.’s (“Goldman Sachs”) undertaking to waive a portion of the distribution and service fees paid by the Short Duration Government and Short Duration Income Funds’ Class C Shares and a portion of the transfer agency fees paid by the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund. 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 Short Duration Government Fund, which had asset levels above at least the first breakpoint during the prior fiscal year.

With respect to the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund does not have management fee breakpoints. They considered the asset levels in the Fund; the Fund’s recent 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 the contractual fee rates charged by the Investment Adviser with fee rates charged to other funds in the peer group; the Investment Adviser’s undertaking to limit certain expenses of the Fund that exceed specified levels; and the willingness of the Investment Adviser and Goldman Sachs to waive certain fees on a temporary basis in order to maintain a positive Fund yield.

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 relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by 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 more likely to do 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) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced 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 on behalf of the Funds 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. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered 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.

Conclusion

In connection with their consideration of the Management Agreements, 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 Agreements should be approved and continued with respect to each Fund until June 30, 2017.

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Single Sector Fixed Income Funds

 

Market Review

Shifting expectations about global economic conditions and central bank monetary policy influenced the performance of the global fixed income markets during the six months ended September 30, 2016 (the “Reporting Period”).

During the second quarter of 2016 when the Reporting Period began, spread (or non-government bond) sectors rallied on stabilization of commodities prices as well as on declining fears about slowing Chinese economic growth and the potential for a U.S. economic recession. Global interest rates broadly declined amid continued accommodative monetary policy from the world’s central banks. In the U.S., minutes from the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) April 2016 policy meeting, released in mid-May 2016, suggested to many observers that policymakers might raise interest rates in June 2016 if U.S. economic growth strengthened, employment data firmed and inflation rose toward the Fed’s 2% target. In early June 2016, however, the release of weak May 2016 employment data raised concerns about the health of the U.S. economy, pushing down market expectations of a Fed rate hike. Indeed, the Fed did not raise interest rates at its June 2016 policy meeting. In the last week of June 2016, the unexpected “leave” vote in the U.K. referendum on membership in the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, renewed investor uncertainty about the path of global economic growth. Spread sectors withstood the Brexit vote relatively well, selling off at first but then recovering most of their losses afterwards. The U.S. dollar strengthened versus most global currencies during the second calendar quarter, though it weakened against the Japanese yen.

During the third calendar quarter, spread sectors continued to advance. Overall, global interest rates remained low, as the world’s central banks remained broadly accommodative. In July 2016, however, the Fed’s policy statement was more hawkish than most observers expected, reflecting cautious optimism amid the market’s relatively muted reaction to the Brexit outcome and strengthening U.S. economic data. (Hawkish tends to imply higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) The July 2016 U.S. non-farm payrolls report showed 255,000 new jobs added, exceeding market expectations and countering a disappointing second quarter 2016 gross domestic product (“GDP”) report that showed growth of 1.2%. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) kept interest rates unchanged during July 2016. The Bank of Japan (“BoJ”), meanwhile, fell short of market expectations with the announcement of an equity purchase program and the lack of key monetary measures, such as an interest rate cut and increased government bond purchases. In August 2016, the Bank of England (“BoE”) unveiled a “timely, coherent and comprehensive package,” as described by Governor Mark Carney, which included a number of measures intended to help the U.K. economy navigate a post-Brexit environment. Although the ECB kept monetary policy unchanged during the month, the European and U.K. credit markets received technical, or supply/demand, support from the ongoing corporate bond purchases of central banks. In the U.S., non-farm payroll gains moderated in August 2016 and manufacturing and services data weakened, but continued hawkish comments from the Fed boosted market expectations of a rate hike by the end of 2016. However, at its September 2016 policy meeting, the Fed kept short-term interest rates unchanged. In Japan, during September 2016, the BoJ announced a new “yield curve control” framework designed to steepen Japan’s government bond yield curve and alleviate the impact on financial institutions of low longer-term rates. (Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.). During the third quarter of 2016, the U.S. dollar depreciated versus many world currencies.

MARKET REVIEW

 

 

For the Reporting Period overall, high yield corporate bonds outperformed U.S. Treasuries by a double-digit margin, followed at some distance by sovereign emerging markets debt and investment grade corporate bonds. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities also outperformed U.S. Treasuries, albeit more modestly. The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period, as yields on maturities of less than four years rose and yields on maturities of four years and longer fell. The yield on the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury dropped approximately 17 basis points to end the Reporting Period at 1.59%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point. A flattening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows.)

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected the economic growth outlook for the U.S., Japan and China to improve. In the U.S., a strong labor market appeared to be supporting consumption, and a slower pace of monetary policy normalization should, in our view, prevent a sharp tightening of financial conditions. We also believed that positive developments in the manufacturing sector, arising from a decline in inventories as well as a boost in consumer spending due to a strengthening labor market, may further support U.S. economic growth for the rest of 2016. Despite “prudence in the removal of policy accommodation,” as described by Fed Governor Lael Brainard before the September 2016 policy meeting, we expect the Fed to raise short term rates later in 2016.

In Europe, we expect the ECB to extend its quantitative easing program beyond March 2017, when it is currently scheduled to end, to address a weak economic growth and inflation outlook. We believe Eurozone inflation will likely continue to be disappointing and that economic growth may slow in 2017. While the U.K. appears to have avoided the worst immediate near-term Brexit scenario, we expect additional easing from the BoE in the coming months. Political uncertainty arising from negotiations on issues such as immigration and access to the European Union’s single market are likely, in our view, to provide challenges for the U.K.’s economic outlook, and thus we anticipate weak economic growth in the U.K. during 2017.

In Japan, we believe the continuation and expansion of the BoJ’s accommodative monetary policy means economic growth could potentially surprise to the upside, though we believe Abenomics is running out of ammunition (Abenomics refers to the multi-pronged economic program of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It seeks to remedy two decades of economic stagnation by increasing Japan’s money supply, boosting government spending and enacting reforms to make the economy more competitive.). In China, the government’s rapid fiscal policy response to the economic slowdown earlier in 2016 suggests to us that the country’s positive growth impulses are likely to continue in the near term.

In the months ahead, political uncertainty has the potential to increase market volatility. These uncertainties include the November 2016 U.S. elections, the December 2016 Italian referendum on constitutional reform and 2017 elections in Germany and France.

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 Global Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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 6.62%, 6.21%, 6.91%, 6.88% and 6.60%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.84% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund Composite Index (the “Index”), which is comprised 50% of the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (GBI-EMSM) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), 25% of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBISM) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) and 25% of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index (CEMBISM) Broad Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) 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 5.46%, 9.26% and 6.96%, respectively, during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, external emerging markets debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index, returned 9.26%. Sovereign spreads (that is, the difference in yields between external emerging markets debt and U.S. Treasuries) tightened by approximately 73 basis points to close the Reporting Period 336 basis points wider than U.S. Treasury securities. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The top performing emerging external debt markets in the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index (in U.S. dollar terms1) were Venezuela (+58.45%), Zambia (+23.65%) and Iraq (+21.68%). The weakest performing emerging external debt markets were Turkey (-1.92%), Slovakia (-2.60%) and India (-2.92%).

 

      Local emerging markets debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index, posted a return of 5.46%, with approximately 3.28% due to changes in local interest rates and approximately 2.17% due to currency appreciation against the U.S. dollar. Among countries, on a total return basis, the top performers in the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index (in U.S. dollar terms) during the Reporting Period were Brazil (+23.20%), South Africa (+15.91%) and Russia (+14.32%). The weakest performing countries were Mexico (-9.37%), Malaysia (-2.78%) and Poland (-2.32%).

 

      Corporate emerging markets debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index, returned 6.96%. Corporate spreads (that is, the difference in yields between corporate emerging markets debt and U.S. Treasuries) tightened by approximately 78 basis points to close the Reporting Period 343 basis points wider than U.S. Treasury securities. In terms of issuance, the emerging markets corporate bond sector saw approximately $241.5 billion of gross new issuance between the beginning of 2016 and September 30, 2016, 21% higher than during the same period in 2015 and surpassing the 2015 calendar year supply of $239.8 billion.2 Meanwhile, J.P. Morgan revised its global emerging markets corporate default rate forecast from 3.5% in March 2016 to 5.5% in September 2016.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, our selection of emerging markets currencies and the Fund’s positions in local interest rates detracted from relative performance.

 

      Conversely, positions in emerging markets external debt contributed positively to Fund returns. In addition, our issue selection among emerging markets corporate bonds added to performance.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s long position in the Mexican peso (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts) detracted from relative results. The Mexican peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar amid the U.S. election race. Given that weakness, we believe the currency looks attractive in terms of its valuation. Also, we believe Mexico remains closely tied to the U.S. economy and may therefore benefit should U.S. economic growth continue to improve. The Fund was also hurt during the Reporting Period by a long position in the Polish zloty (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts). The long position was maintained because of the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) quantitative easing measures, which we expect to spur growth in the Eurozone. Within local emerging markets debt, the Fund was underweight Malaysian local interest rates because we considered them expensively valued. This positioning detracted from performance during the Reporting Period.

 

      On the positive side, the Fund’s long position in the Brazilian real (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts) and its overweight position in Brazilian local interest rates (accomplished through Brazilian index-linked bonds) added to relative performance. Brazilian assets rallied over the course of the Reporting Period because the markets viewed the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff as positive for Brazil’s economy and its fiscal balance. In addition, the markets appeared optimistic about the fiscal and growth reforms being implemented by the country’s new President Michel Temer. In addition, the Fund benefited from an overweight position in Venezuelan external bonds. We maintained the overweight based on valuations, as we believed Venezuelan external bonds should have a relatively high recovery value in the event of a default, and we considered their potential return prospects attractive.

 

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 did not have a meaningful impact on relative returns during the Reporting Period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.

 

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

 

A   The Fund invested in U.S. Treasury futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, non-deliverable currency forwards and structured notes. U.S. Treasury futures were used to manage U.S. interest rate duration. 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 structured 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. Non-deliverable currency forwards were used to gain exposure to a particular country and also to take advantage of relative value opportunities. Derivatives may be used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

      During the Reporting Period, we used credit default swaps to gain exposure to Chinese external debt, which detracted from performance. The Fund’s use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take a long position in the Mexican peso also had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

      A positive contributor was the Fund’s exposure to Brazil for which we used interest rate swaps as well as sovereign local bonds. Additionally, the Fund’s positioning in the Brazilian real, implemented via forward foreign currency exchange contracts, added to the Fund’s performance.

 

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 already overweight position relative to the Index in Mexican local interest rates (accomplished partly through the use of derivatives) as the country’s central bank reduced its 2017

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

growth projections for its Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) from between 2.5% and 3.5% to between 2.3% and 3.3%. Mexico’s output gap is likely, in our view, to remain in negative territory until year-end 2017, and its inflation rate is expected to remain stable as the central bank does not anticipate an increase in aggregate demand. We also increased the Fund’s already overweight position in Polish local interest rates because we expect its central bank to adopt a dovish stance if economic growth or inflation dynamics disappoint. (Dovish tends to imply lower interest rates.) Poland’s central bank continues to revise its inflation forecast downward. In addition, we increased the Fund’s overweight in South African local interest rates during the Reporting Period, as we believe its central bank’s policy rate has almost reached a neutral rate of interest. (Neutral rate of interest is the rate at which real GDP is growing at its trend rate and inflation is stable.) Also, South African local interest rates look inexpensive, in our view, based on risk adjusted metrics. During the Reporting Period, we eliminated the Fund’s overweight in Colombian external debt and shifted to an underweight position based on valuations. We initiated an underweight position in Czech Republic local interest rates as the country’s economy is growing at a rapid pace and inflation is expected by its central bank to go higher. We also increased the Fund’s underweight in China (implemented via a credit default swap) for a number of reasons, including the country’s economic growth continuing to slow; challenging fiscal/debt dynamics; the erosion in foreign exchange reserves we have seen during the Reporting Period; and increasing leverage in the corporate sector.

 

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

 

A   Within external debt at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s key overweight positions relative to the Index were in the Dominican Republic and Indonesia, while its largest underweight was in China. We have a positive outlook on the Dominican Republic given its low debt/GDP ratio and improved current account dynamics on the back of lower oil prices. The Fund remained underweight China (implemented via a credit default swap) as a hedge against China’s economic growth slowdown. Within local emerging markets debt, a top overweight was in Mexican local interest rates and a large underweight was maintained in Malaysian local interest rates. Within corporate emerging markets debt, we continued to favor defensive non-cyclical names, such as bottlers and high yield telecommunications issues that, in our view, often have spreads comparable with riskier cyclical names. Among currencies, the Fund’s largest long position at the end of the Reporting Period was in the Mexican peso, while one of its top short positions was in the Singapore dollar.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed that in the aftermath of the U.K.’s vote to exit the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, the emerging markets are not likely in the near term to find themselves in the eye of the storm, as they had been after the 2013 “taper tantrum” when U.S. Treasury yields surged in response to the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) tapering its quantitative easing program or during the commodity sell-off of 2014-2015.

 

      In terms of global monetary policy, we think the possibility of broad-scale normalization by the ECB and the Bank of Japan is remote due to the continued economic slowdowns in the Eurozone and Japan. Meanwhile, remarks from Fed chair Janet Yellen at the Jackson Hole conference indicated that U.S. policymakers see an improving U.S. economic backdrop, suggesting higher odds for an interest rate hike in 2016. However, we do not expect the Fed to move towards an aggressive rate hiking cycle. We believe a moderate terminal rate (the rate at which the Fed ends a tightening cycle), combined with a gradual trajectory for rate hikes, should help limit potential downside within emerging markets debt. In our view, Fed rate increases driven by improving growth data are likely to be less concerning for the emerging markets than a scenario wherein Fed action is driven by inflationary pressures.

 

      In this environment, we think the case for emerging markets debt is nuanced, driven by China’s economic slowdown, stabilization of commodity prices at somewhat lower levels, politics and geopolitics. Although clouds continue to hang over the emerging markets, we see little in the way of a crisis on the horizon. We anticipate that 2016 will be the year when the slowdown in emerging markets growth and the fluctuations in emerging markets foreign exchange rates reach bottom. In our view, there will not be a rapid rebound or V-shaped recovery. Rather, we believe the emerging markets are turning the corner after three consecutive years of declining valuations and downward economic growth projections. We admit structural factors to justify our optimism, outside of demographics, remain scarce, but we anticipate a pick-up nonetheless. In our view, potential downside risks include policy mistakes, populism and depletion of financial reserves.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

      Given these views, we think local emerging markets debt remains an attractive investment through the end of 2016, though we continue to monitor currency volatility. Oil prices are likely to move into better balance later in 2016, we believe. A longer time horizon is key, in our view, as further idiosyncratic developments and volatility cannot be ruled out. We continue to take a discerning approach, focusing on identifying countries that remain mispriced, as we think valuations have adjusted in many cases and could adequately compensate for the challenges.

 

      In terms of external emerging markets debt, we had a positive outlook at the end of the Reporting Period. First, we believe economic growth in the emerging markets should begin to recover and also that the difference between emerging markets growth and developed markets growth is now increasing after decreasing in recent years. Second, we consider high quality external emerging markets debt to be a solid bastion of yield in the current low interest rate environment. In our opinion, external emerging markets debt will remain attractive through 2016 and into 2017 as commodity prices find a better balance and given that the macro environment remains supportive for higher yielding investments. That said, we plan to stay watchful about the impact of political developments, potential risks related to any normalizing of central bank monetary policy, and idiosyncratic risks. Going forward, we believe identifying winners and losers remains paramount. In particular, we think it is important to find those investments that offer an attractive risk-adjusted yield. At the end of the Reporting Period, we favored countries with prudent fiscal management (where currencies have adjusted for lower oil prices after the decline through the end of 2014) and idiosyncratic opportunities where valuations offer a strong potential risk-reward, in our view.

 

      Within corporate emerging markets bonds, the Fund was defensively positioned at the end of the Reporting Period with selective overweight positions in names that have, in our view, potential upside based on their valuations. Overall, we continued to favor defensive non-cyclical names, such as bottlers and high yield telecommunications issues that generally offer comparable spreads to riskier cyclical names. Additionally, the Fund’s overweights were focused on select names with solid balance sheets as we closely monitor challenging operating conditions, including the impact of the commodity price decline and currency fluctuations.

The index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  6    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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

  7    The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) 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.

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, C, Institutional, IR and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 9.56%, 9.15%, 9.74%, 9.69% and 9.75%, respectively. These returns compare to the 9.26% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBISM) Global Diversified 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   During the Reporting Period, external emerging markets debt, as represented by the Index, returned 9.26%. Sovereign spreads (that is, the difference in yields between external emerging markets debt and U.S. Treasuries) tightened by approximately 73 basis points to close the Reporting Period 336 basis points wider than U.S. Treasury securities. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) The top performing emerging external debt markets during the Reporting Period, as represented by the Index, were (in U.S. dollar terms1) Venezuela (+58.45%), Zambia (+23.65%) and Iraq (+21.68%). The weakest performing emerging external debt markets were Turkey (-1.92%), Slovakia (-2.60%) and India (-2.92%).

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from country and issue selection of external emerging markets bonds. Issue selection and sector positioning within emerging markets corporate bonds also added to relative returns.

 

      Conversely, the Fund was hampered by our active currency management (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts as well as bonds denominated in local currencies). Our U.S. duration strategy also detracted from relative returns. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from its overweight position relative to the Index in Venezuelan external debt. Although we remained concerned about the country’s deteriorating fundamentals, we believe valuations imply a material probability of restructuring and that there is the possibility of significant recovery in the event of a default. We found greater value in the quasi-sovereign Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) bonds than the country’s sovereign bonds. In addition, an underweight in Turkish external debt added to relative returns, as we stayed watchful about political developments in the aftermath of the coup, the country’s reliance on global liquidity and the pass-through effects of currency fluctuations. Also, during the Reporting Period, the Fund was helped by its long position in the Brazilian real (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts).

 

      Conversely, the Fund’s long position in the Mexican peso (implemented through forward foreign currency exchange contracts) was a significant detractor from relative returns. The Mexican peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar amid the U.S. election race. Given that weakness, we believe the currency remains attractive in terms of its valuation. Also, we believe Mexico remains closely tied to the U.S. economy and may therefore benefit from increased capital flows and investment should U.S. economic growth continue to improve. The Fund was also hurt during the Reporting Period by its underweight positions in Ukrainian and Chinese external debt.

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 strategy detracted from relative returns. For most of the Reporting Period, the Fund held a short duration position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve, as we expected the U.S. economy to pick up and for the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise short-term interest rates gradually. However, the Fed remained on hold during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s U.S. yield curve positioning did not have a meaningful impact on relative performance. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.

 

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

 

A   The Fund invested in U.S. Treasury futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, non-deliverable currency forwards and structured notes. U.S. Treasury futures were used to manage U.S. interest rate duration. 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 and structured 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. Non-deliverable currency forwards were used to gain exposure to a particular country. Derivatives may be used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

      During the Reporting Period, we used credit default swaps to gain exposure to Chinese external debt, which slightly detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund’s use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take a long position in the Mexican peso had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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 already overweight position relative to the Index in Mexican local interest rates as the country’s central bank reduced its 2017 growth projections for the Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) from between 2.5% and 3.5% to between 2.3% and 3.3%. Mexico’s output gap is likely, in our view, to remain in negative territory until year-end 2017, and inflation is expected to remain stable as its central bank does not anticipate an increase in aggregate demand. At the beginning of the Reporting Period, the Fund held an underweight in Russian external debt based on valuations, which we shifted to a neutral position as Russian assets underperformed the Index. We moved the Fund to an overweight position relative to the Index in Russian external debt given that Russia’s balance of payments appears to have adjusted to lower oil prices and persistent capital outflows. Also, during the Reporting Period, we significantly increased the Fund’s overweight in Indonesian external debt on the back of what we considered to be that country’s strong fiscal position and pace of reforms. Additionally, we initiated an overweight position in Bulgarian external debt, as we believe the country has low government debt levels and a strong fiscal balance. During the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s underweight in Chinese external debt (implemented via a credit default swap) relative to the Index. This positioning is a hedge against broader concerns we have about China’s shadow banking system, non-performing loans, economic growth slowdown and potential policy mistakes. Our rationale also includes the country’s challenging fiscal and debt dynamics, erosion of foreign exchange reserves and increasing leverage in the corporate sector. Additionally, we reduced the Fund’s overweight relative to the Index in Colombian external debt during the Reporting Period but maintained an overweight position because of that country’s strong policy framework.

 

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 oil importers, and we had selectively added to its holdings of oil exporter names. Overall, we were bullish on the Central American/Caribbean region, including the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Guatemala, which import oil and rely on American tourism. Additionally, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund held an overweight position in Russian external debt, as we believe Russia is appropriately handling the downturn in oil prices. The Fund also had an overweight position in Venezuelan external debt at the end of the Reporting Period. In our view, valuations imply a material probability of restructuring, and we believe there is the possibility of significant recovery in the event of a default. We find greater value in the quasi-sovereign Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) bonds than the country’s sovereign bonds. In Eastern Europe, the Fund was underweight relative to the Index in Polish external debt based on valuations, which we consider expensive. We also

think there is a risk of some fiscal slippage in 2016. (Fiscal slippage is when a planned annual budget does not match actual spending.) Additionally, the Fund was underweight Croatian external debt at the end of the Reporting Period based on our concerns about that country’s fiscal condition. In addition, we remained cautious about China as its slower economic growth trajectory has implications for those economies with business models built around Chinese demand and because in recent years GDP data have disappointed in parts of Southeast Asia. Accordingly, the Fund maintained idiosyncratic underweights in certain countries, such as Malaysia and Turkey, at the end of the Reporting Period. In Malaysia, we are concerned about depletion of foreign reserves, uncertainty surrounding the resolution of government contingent liabilities and deterioration in the country’s trade balances. (A contingent liability is a potential liability that may occur, depending on the outcome of an uncertain future event.) In Turkey, we planned to be watchful about political developments, the country’s reliance on global liquidity and the potential pass-through impacts of foreign exchange fluctuations.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed that in the aftermath of the U.K.’s vote to exit the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, the emerging markets are not likely in the near term to find themselves in the eye of the storm, as they had been after the 2013 “taper tantrum” when U.S. Treasury yields surged in response to the Fed tapering its quantitative easing program or during the commodity sell-off of 2014-2015.

 

      In terms of global monetary policy, we think the possibility of broad-scale normalization by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan is remote due to the continued economic slowdowns in the Eurozone and Japan. Meanwhile, remarks from Fed chair Janet Yellen at the Jackson Hole conference indicated that U.S. policymakers see an improving U.S. economic backdrop, suggesting higher odds for an interest rate hike in 2016. However, we do not expect the Fed to move towards an aggressive rate hiking cycle. We believe a moderate terminal rate (the rate at which the Fed ends a tightening cycle), combined with a gradual trajectory for rate hikes, should help limit potential downside within emerging markets debt. In our view, Fed rate increases driven by improving growth data are likely to be less concerning for the emerging markets than a scenario wherein Fed action is driven by inflationary pressures.

 

      In this environment, we think the case for emerging markets debt is nuanced, driven by China’s economic slowdown, stabilization of commodity prices at somewhat lower levels, politics and geopolitics. Although clouds continue to hang over the emerging markets, we see little in the way of a crisis on the horizon. We anticipate that 2016 will be the year when the slowdown in emerging markets growth and the fluctuations in emerging markets foreign exchange rates reach bottom. In our view, there will not be a rapid rebound or V-shaped recovery. Rather, we believe the emerging markets are turning the corner after three consecutive years of declining valuations and downward growth projections. We admit structural factors to justify our optimism, outside of demographics, remain scarce, but we anticipate a pick-up nonetheless. In our view, potential downside risks include policy mistakes, populism and depletion of financial reserves.

 

      At the end of the Reporting Period, we had a positive outlook on external emerging markets debt. First, we believe economic growth in the emerging markets should begin to recover and also that the difference between emerging markets growth and developed markets growth is now increasing after decreasing in recent years. Second, we consider high quality external emerging markets debt to be a solid bastion of yield in the current low interest rate environment. In our opinion, external emerging markets debt will remain attractive through 2016 and into 2017 as commodity prices find a better balance and given that the macro environment remains supportive for higher yielding investments. That said, we plan to stay watchful about the impact of political developments, potential risks related to any normalizing of central bank monetary policy, and idiosyncratic risks. Going forward, we believe identifying winners and losers remains paramount. In particular, we think it is important to find those investments that offer an attractive risk-adjusted yield. At the end of the Reporting Period, we favored countries with prudent fiscal management (where currencies have adjusted for lower oil prices after the decline through the end of 2014) and idiosyncratic opportunities where valuations offer a strong potential risk-reward.

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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

  4    The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) 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 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 R6 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.

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, 2016 (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, Service, IR, R and R6 Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 10.06%, 9.47%, 10.05%, 9.80%, 10.18%, 9.75% and 10.05%, respectively. These returns compare to the 11.38% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the high yield corporate bond market generated strong returns, benefiting from investors’ search for higher yield in the low interest rate environment. High yield corporate bonds also benefited as commodity price volatility remained contained.

 

      For the Reporting Period overall, lower quality CC-rated and CCC-rated credits outperformed higher quality B-rated and BB-rated credits. Option adjusted spreads narrowed approximately 186 basis points, ending the Reporting Period at 480 basis points. (The option adjusted spread is a measurement tool for evaluating price differences between similar products with different embedded options. A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) High yield corporate bonds outperformed high yield loans, as represented by the Index.

 

      In terms of issuance, approximately $104.0 billion of new high yield corporate bonds were priced during the second quarter of 2016, with refinancing the primary use of the proceeds. In the third calendar quarter, approximately $77.7 billion of new high yield corporate bonds came to market. Refinancing remained the primary use for the proceeds during the third calendar quarter. With regard to demand, high yield corporate bond mutual funds experienced approximately $6.4 billion of investment outflows during the second quarter of 2016. Flows reversed in the third calendar quarter, with $6.1 billion of investment inflows coming into high yield corporate bond mutual funds.1

 

      The default rate for high yield corporate bonds rose slightly during the Reporting Period, though it remained below the historical average. Defaults were dominated by energy companies and metals and mining issuers. The 12-month par-weighted default high yield corporate bond rate through September 30, 2016 was 3.54%.2

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hampered by its overall credit quality positioning relative to the Index. It benefited from its sector positioning and individual issue selection.

 

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

 

A   The Fund was hurt by its higher credit quality bias during the Reporting Period. More specifically, the Fund’s underweight in lower quality CC-rated and CCC-rated credits detracted from returns, as lower quality credits outperformed higher quality credits during the Reporting Period. In addition, the Fund was hindered by its exposure to high yield loans. Its

cash holdings dampened relative performance amid the rally in the high yield corporate bond market during the Reporting Period. For similar reasons, the Fund was hampered by its short market beta positioning (that is, its broad underweight relative to the Index in riskier securities).

 

      In terms of sector positioning, the Fund’s overweight positions compared to the Index in cellular telecommunications and corporate emerging markets bonds added to relative performance. Underweights in technology, health care, retail (especially food and drug) and electric utilities also contributed positively. Conversely, overweight positions in media (particularly cable and satellite television), building materials and financials detracted from returns. The Fund’s underweights in metals and mining, energy and gas utilities also dampened relative results.

 

      From an individual issue selection perspective, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in cellular telecommunications company Sprint and oil and gas producers Chaparral Energy and Linn Energy. It was hurt by its overweight in discount retailer rue21 and its underweight positions in oil and gas company Chesapeake Energy and iron ore mining firm Cliffs Natural Resources.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning did not have a meaningful impact on performance versus the Index. Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities. The Fund’s duration strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/ or futures.

 

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. The Fund used U.S. Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Derivatives may be used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund. Overall, the use of derivatives did not have a material impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, we shifted the Fund to a modest underweight in CCC-rated credits. We added to the Fund’s holdings in some cyclically sensitive sectors, including technology, gaming and chemicals. We also moved the Fund closer to a neutral position relative to the Index in both the energy and metals and mining sectors. At the same time, we increased the Fund’s underweight in the health care sector. We also sought to extend the Fund’s duration modestly through investments in longer-term issues.

 

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 cellular telecommunications, emerging markets corporate bonds and building materials. It was underweight compared to the Index in metals and mining, gas distribution utilities and electric utilities. We favored BBB-rated credits, maintaining a broad bias toward higher quality credits, and kept the Fund’s modest exposure to CCC-rated credits 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 had a cautiously positive outlook for high yield corporate bonds. Overall, we believe that continued accommodative central bank monetary policy, adequate U.S. economic growth, an improved commodity price backdrop and demand by both U.S. and non-U.S. investors should support option adjusted spreads. That said, we see a number of risks that could potentially cause spreads to widen. First, in our view, there could be a backlash against central bank negative interest rate policies should they prove ineffective at stimulating growth and instead continue to punish savers and banks or if an increase in U.S. interest rates causes recession worries. (A negative interest rate policy is an unconventional monetary policy tool whereby nominal target interest rates are set with a negative value, below the theoretical lower boundary of zero percent.) Second, we believe that China’s managed economic stimulus could potentially be derailed by bad debt concerns, capital outflows or currency devaluation. Third, oil prices and those

of other commodities might drop again because of a supply recovery or weak demand. Fourth, renewed U.S. dollar strength could possibly hurt U.S. competitiveness and corporate earnings. And fifth, there are ever-present but unpredictable geopolitical stresses, including terrorism concerns. In our opinion, any of these risks could increase volatility and have an adverse impact on liquidity and overall financial conditions, which could potentially unwind the “risk-on” trend witnessed in the high yield corporate bond market during the Reporting Period.

They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 4.5% 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, Service, Class IR, Class R6 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 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.

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, 2016 (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 4.95%, 4.56%, 5.13%, 5.08%, and 4.82%, respectively. These returns compare to the 6.47% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg 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   High yield loans generated positive returns during the Reporting Period, with B-rated credits and lower quality credits outperforming higher quality BB-rated credits. High yield loan spreads (or yield differentials versus duration- equivalent U.S. Treasury securities) contracted by 116 basis points, ending the Reporting Period at 505 basis points.1 (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)

 

      In terms of issuance, approximately $125.8 billion in new high yield loans were brought to market during the second quarter of 2016. During the third calendar quarter, new issuance totaled approximately $130.6 billion. With regard to demand, high yield loan mutual funds saw investment outflows of approximately $500 million during the second quarter of 2016. Momentum shifted during the third quarter of 2016, with high yield loan mutual funds experiencing investment inflows of approximately $2.2 billion.2

 

      During the Reporting Period, the default rate for high yield loans declined and remained below the historical average. Defaults were dominated by energy companies and metals

  2    Source: J.P. Morgan, S&P LCD, Lipper FMI.

 

  and mining issuers. The trailing 12-month default rate through September 30, 2016 was 2.24%.3

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hurt by its overall credit quality positioning relative to the Index. It benefited from its sector positioning and issue selection within the high yield loan market.

 

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

 

A   The Fund was hampered by its higher credit quality bias during the Reporting Period. More specifically, the Fund’s overweight in higher quality BBB-rated and BB-rated credits detracted from returns as lower quality credits outperformed higher quality credits during the Reporting Period. This was offset somewhat by the Fund’s underweight in B-rated credits and its overweight in CCC-rated credits, which added to performance. In addition, the Fund’s cash holdings hampered results amid the rally in the high yield loan market during the Reporting Period. For similar reasons, the Fund was hindered by its short market beta positioning (that is, its broad underweight relative to the Index in riskier securities).

 

      In terms of its sector positioning, the Fund’s overweight positions compared to the Index in cellular and non-cellular telecommunications bolstered relative performance. Underweights in leisure and restaurants, chemicals and financials also contributed positively. Conversely, overweight positions in the packaging, health care and building materials sectors detracted from results. The Fund’s underweights in metals and mining, energy and utilities also hurt returns.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

      Relative to individual issue selection, the Fund benefited from its overweight in Ascent Resources — Marcellus LLC, which develops and operates oil and natural gas properties; Getty Images, a stock photo agency; and Jones Energy, an independent oil and gas company. The Fund’s exposure to retailer American Apparel, which is not held in the Index, and its overweight in clinic operator U.S. Renal Care detracted from results. In addition, a lack of exposure to coal producer Arch Coal dampened relative performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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 or 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 were 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”) and standardized total return swap contracts on the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loan Index (“iBoxx”) were used to manage the beta of the Fund on an active basis. CDX and/or iBoxx were also utilized as cost-efficient instruments to help manage the Fund’s cash position. We employ CDX and/or iBoxx contracts in order to gain credit exposure by being short credit protection, when the Fund experiences significant cash inflows. Derivatives may be used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund. Overall, the use of derivatives did not have a material impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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 allocation relative to the Index in cable and non-cable media, gaming and lodging, and health care, although the Fund remained underweight relative to the Index in gaming and lodging. We decreased its exposure compared to the Index in consumer products; food, beverage and tobacco; electric utilities; and retail and apparel. In addition, we increased the Fund’s allocations relative to the benchmark in BB-rated and B-rated rated credits, while reducing its allocation to BBB- rated 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 relative to the Index in the technology, media and telecommunications sectors, with a particular focus on non- cable names and cellular telecommunications companies. We maintained the Fund’s overweight in sectors widely considered to be defensive, including health care. In addition, at the end of the Reporting Period, we favored the building materials and packaging sectors. The Fund was underweight compared to the Index in what we consider to be weaker sectors, such as metals and mining and energy.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the rally in the high yield loan market continued, spurred, we believe, by technical, or supply/demand, factors. Overall, we think a “reach-for-yield” has driven investors into higher yielding asset classes, such as high yield loans. At the same time, fundamentals have gradually worsened. Although we continue to have a positive outlook on high yield loans, the strength of the rally suggests to us that a pause is possible ahead of the November 2016 U.S. elections. That said, we believe the liquidity tailwind provided by accommodative central bank monetary policy could extend the rally, at least in the near term. Looking ahead, we anticipate that high yield loan default rates could approach historical averages, largely because of elevated defaults in energy and commodity-related sectors. We believe high yield loan spreads are likely to widen toward the end of 2016, but we expect them to finish the calendar year tighter than they were at the end of 2015.

  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 Bloomberg 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. 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 Standardized 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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Index.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. 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, 2016 (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, R6 and Separate Account Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 4.85%, 5.03%, 4.97%, 5.14% and 5.02%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.76% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg 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   During the second quarter of 2016 when the Reporting Period started, investment grade corporate bonds outperformed U.S. Treasury securities. Investment grade credit spreads, or the difference in yields between corporate bonds and duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities, tightened by four basis points to end the quarter at 154 basis points. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) European investment grade corporate bonds underperformed U.S. investment grade corporate bonds. The underperformance was mainly due to weaker European economic data and the contagion effects of the U.K.’s “leave” vote in its referendum about membership in the European Union, popularly known as “Brexit”, although this was partly offset by the support provided by the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) Corporate Sector Purchase Programme (“CSPP”). Through CSPP, which began in June 2016, the ECB is making outright purchases of investment grade euro-denominated bonds issued by non-bank corporations with the stated goal of further strengthening the pass-through of its asset purchases to the financing conditions of the Eurozone’s real economy. (The real economy is the part of the economy concerned with producing goods and services, rather than that concerned with buying and selling on the financial markets). In the third calendar quarter, investment grade corporate bonds continued to outperform U.S. Treasury securities. Improved oil prices, continued support from the ECB’s CSPP and the Bank of England’s (“BoE”) announcement of corporate bond purchases contributed to the rally. Investment grade credit spreads tightened 20 basis points to end the quarter at 134 basis points. European investment grade corporate bonds outperformed U.S. investment grade corporate bonds during the third calendar quarter.

 

    Issuance was strong throughout the Reporting Period. In the second quarter of 2016, U.S. new issuance was approximately $295 billion, with European new issuance approximately $176 billion. During the third quarter of 2016, U.S. new issuance was approximately $301 billion and European new issuance was approximately $107 billion. Industrial and financial issuers accounted for the largest portion of new issuance in both the U.S. and Europe during the Reporting Period overall. European new issuance includes U.K. new issuance.1

 

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

 

A   The Fund outperformed the Index during the Reporting Period largely because of our individual issue selection among investment grade corporate bonds. Our cross-sector strategy detracted from relative results. 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 Index.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from select investments within specific industries and based on credit quality. More specifically, the Fund’s overweights relative to the Index in the financials and industrials sectors and its underweight in higher quality investment grade corporate bonds added to returns. This was offset somewhat by the Fund’s underweight in the chemical sector.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning did not have a meaningful impact on performance. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities. The Fund’s duration strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Derivatives are used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

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. The use of these derivatives did not have a material impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   When the Reporting Period started in April 2016, the Fund held a moderate overweight position relative to the Index in investment grade corporate bonds. However, we remained cautious given that we anticipated elevated market volatility amid what we believed was the later stage of the credit cycle and because we saw the potential for further upheaval in the commodities sector. Near the end of April 2016, we reduced the size of the Fund’s overweight in investment grade corporate bonds as a result of meaningful rallies since February 2016, lower risk premiums due to reduced market concerns about global risk factors, as well as seasonal factors, which tend to be less supportive in the months of May and June. Near the end of June 2016, we moved the Fund to an underweight position in investment grade corporate bonds because we expected an uptick in volatility around the U.K.’s Brexit preparations, the November 2016 U.S. election, and the potential widening of investment grade credit spreads given what we considered to be the later stage of the U.S. credit cycle. In late July 2016, we trimmed the size of the Fund’s underweight position in investment grade corporate bonds. The Fund held a modest underweight position in investment grade corporate bonds relative to the Index at 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, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in consumer products, pipelines and tobacco investment grade corporate bonds. Compared to the Index, it was underweight technology, diversified manufacturing and retailing investment grade corporate bonds. The Fund maintained a bias to lower credit quality BBB-rated issues and intermediate-term maturities 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, the Fund was modestly underweight relative to the Index in investment grade corporate bonds. We believe that investment grade credit spreads could potentially drift wider because the U.S.

    economy is in what we consider to be the later stage of the credit cycle and based on weak seasonal factors, slowly deteriorating fundamentals, and the economic and political ramifications of Brexit. In addition, we expect uncertainty surrounding the November 2016 U.S. election to lead to some volatility. That said, we believe that any spread widening will likely be moderate as the corporate bond markets continue to see support from the ECB and BoE’s asset purchases.

 

    Overall, at the end of the Reporting Period, we had an unfavorable view of the technology industry, as we believe the industry is characterized by high event risk, particularly as technology companies use mergers and acquisitions and divestitures to manage top-line growth. We also had a negative view of the retail industry due to continued incursion from e-commerce and prominent shareholder activism that is often to the detriment of bondholders. Conditions for U.S. consumers remain challenging, in our view, despite a falling unemployment rate. Costs for rent, education and telecommunication services appear, in our view, to be eating into traditional spending at retailers. We also observed more modest use of consumer credit and a somewhat elevated savings rate, which have been partially offset by the benefits garnered from lower gasoline costs.

  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 Bloomberg 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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

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 total return figures shown. Because Institutional, Class IR, Class R6 and Separate Account Institutional 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.

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, 2016 (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 5.34%, 4.94%, 5.67% and 5.64%, respectively. These returns compare to the 5.46% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (GBI-EMSM) Global Diversified 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, local emerging markets debt, as represented by the Index, posted a return of 5.46%, with approximately 3.28% due to changes in local interest rates and approximately 2.17% due to currency appreciation against the U.S. dollar. Among countries, on a total return basis, the top performers in the Index (in U.S. dollar terms1) during the Reporting Period were Brazil (+23.20%), South Africa (+15.91%) and Russia (+14.32%). The weakest performing countries were Mexico (-9.37%), Malaysia (-2.78%) and Poland (-2.32%).

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund was hampered by its active currency positioning through which the Fund takes positions in local currencies (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts as well as bonds denominated in local currencies).

 

      Conversely, the Fund benefited from our country and issue selection of local emerging markets bonds. Our country and security selection of external emerging market bonds also contributed positively.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s long position in the Mexican peso (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts) detracted from relative performance during the Reporting Period. The Mexican peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar amid the U.S. election race. Given that weakness, we believe the currency looks attractive in terms of its valuation. Also, we believe Mexico remains closely tied to the U.S. economy and may therefore benefit should U.S. economic growth continue to improve. The Fund was also hurt during the Reporting Period by a long position in the Polish zloty (implemented through forward foreign currency exchange contracts). The long position was maintained because of the European Central Bank’s (“ECB”) quantitative easing measures, which we expect to spur growth in the Eurozone. Additionally, during the Reporting Period, the Fund was underweight Malaysian local interest rates because we considered them expensively valued. This positioning detracted from performance during the Reporting Period.

 

      Conversely, the Fund benefited from its overweight position in Brazilian local interest rates (accomplished through Brazilian index-linked bonds) and its long position in the Brazilian real (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts). The Fund was overweight as we believed there was a likelihood for rate cuts by the Brazilian central bank if sovereign risks stayed

contained and inflation expectations remained anchored near 4.5% during 2017. Brazilian assets rallied during the Reporting Period because the markets viewed the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff as positive for Brazil’s economy and its fiscal balance. In addition, during the Reporting Period, Fund performance was helped by a long position in the Argentinian peso (implemented through forward foreign currency exchange contracts) based on our expectations for strong capital inflows in the coming years. In our view, Argentina is a relatively closed economy, and we thought even small inflows could lead to a strengthening currency.

 

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 did not have a meaningful impact on relative returns during the Reporting Period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.

 

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

 

A   The Fund invested in U.S. Treasury futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, total return swaps, cross-currency swaps, non-deliverable currency forwards and structured notes. U.S. Treasury futures were used to manage U.S. interest rate duration. 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 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. Cross-currency swaps were employed to express relative value views on given currencies as well as our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. Non-deliverable currency forwards and non-deliverable bond forward contracts were used to gain exposure to a particular country and also to take advantage of relative value opportunities. Structured 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. Derivatives may be used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

      During the Reporting Period, we used interest rate swaps to gain access to the Colombian local debt market, positioning that slightly detracted from Fund performance. A positive contributor to the Fund’s performance was exposure to Brazil for which we used interest rate swaps as well as sovereign local bonds.

 

      The Fund’s use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take a long position in the Mexican peso had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Conversely, the Fund’s positioning in the Brazilian real and Argentina peso, implemented via forward foreign currency exchange contracts, added to the Fund’s performance.

 

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 overweight relative to the Index in South Korean local interest rates due to low headline inflation and our expectations of central bank rate cuts. We added to the Fund’s already overweight position in Mexican local interest rates and its long position in the Mexican peso. In addition, we shifted the Fund from a short position in the United Arab Emirates dirham to a neutral position. We reduced the Fund’s overweight exposure to Polish local interest rates as we expected an interest rate cut from Poland’s central bank. We reduced the size of the Fund’s overweights in Colombian and Russian local interest rates based on valuations. Additionally, during the Reporting Period, we initiated an underweight position in Czech Republic local interest rates as that country’s economy was growing at what we considered to be a rapid pace, and we expected inflation to go higher.

 

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 Polish local interest rates, as core inflation was trending downward, opening the door for potential central bank easing. Meanwhile, we maintained the Fund’s underweight in Turkish local interest rates and its short position in the Turkish lira on the back of that country’s challenging politics and macro dynamics. The Fund was also underweight Malaysian local interest rates, as we remain concerned about the depletion in foreign reserves, deterioration in the trade balance and difficult political dynamics. At the end of the

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

Reporting Period, the Fund held a long position in the Mexican peso because its valuations remained attractive, in our view, and because we expected currency appreciation from increased capital flows and investment due to Mexico’s close ties to the U.S. economy. We had a negative view of China’s macroeconomic outlook, specifically the country’s economic growth trajectory and outflows. As a result, the Fund was positioned at the end of the Reporting Period with short positions in Southeast Asian currencies with economies that have business models built around Chinese demand.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed that in the aftermath of the U.K.’s vote to exit the European Union, popularly known as Brexit, the emerging markets are not likely in the near term to find themselves in the eye of the storm, as they had been after the 2013 “taper tantrum” when U.S. Treasury yields surged in response to the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) tapering its quantitative easing program or during the commodity sell-off of 2014-2015.

 

      In terms of global monetary policy, we think the possibility of broad-scale normalization by the ECB and the Bank of Japan is remote due to the continued economic slowdowns in the Eurozone and Japan. Meanwhile, remarks from Fed chair Janet Yellen at the Jackson Hole conference indicated that U.S. policymakers see an improving U.S. economic backdrop, suggesting higher odds for an interest rate hike in 2016. However, we do not expect the Fed to move towards an aggressive rate hiking cycle. We believe a moderate terminal rate (the rate at which the Fed ends a tightening cycle), combined with a gradual trajectory for rate hikes, should help limit potential downside within emerging markets debt. In our view, Fed rate increases driven by improving economic growth data are likely to be less concerning for the emerging markets than a scenario wherein Fed action is driven by inflationary pressures.

 

      In this environment, we think the case for emerging markets debt is nuanced, driven by China’s economic slowdown, stabilization of commodity prices at somewhat lower levels, politics and geopolitics. Although clouds continue to hang over the emerging markets, we see little in the way of a crisis on the horizon. We anticipate that 2016 will be the year when the slowdown in emerging markets growth and the fluctuations in emerging markets foreign exchange rates reach bottom. In our view, there will not be a rapid rebound or V-shaped recovery. Rather, we believe the emerging markets are turning the corner after three consecutive years of declining valuations and downward economic growth projections. Aside from demographics, structural factors to justify our optimism remain scarce, we admit, but we anticipate a pick-up nonetheless. In our view, potential downside risks include policy mistakes, populism and depletion of financial reserves.

 

      Given these views, we think local emerging markets debt remains an attractive investment through the end of 2016, though we continue to monitor currency volatility. Oil prices are likely to move into better balance later in 2016, we believe. A longer time horizon is key, in our view, as further idiosyncratic developments and volatility cannot be ruled out. We continue to take a discerning approach, focusing on identifying countries that remain mispriced, as we think valuations have adjusted in many cases and could adequately compensate for the challenges.

  4    The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) 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 and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional and Class 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 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.

Goldman Sachs U.S. Mortgages 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 U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs U.S. Mortgages Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 (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, R6 and Separate Account Institutional Shares generated cumulative total returns, without sales charges, of 1.63%, 1.80%, 1.76%, 1.81% and 1.71%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.77% cumulative total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Securitized Bond Index (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 2016 when the Reporting Period started, mortgage-backed securities slightly outperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities. U.S. Treasury security prices rose on demand for perceived safe-haven assets after the U.K. voted to exit the European Union, popularly known as “Brexit”, which helped them keep pace with mortgage-backed securities for the quarter overall. Meanwhile, mortgage-backed securities outperformed most other riskier asset classes, largely because of their liquidity and the scarcity of attractive yields globally. In the third calendar quarter, mortgage-backed securities outperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities, benefiting from low volatility and demand from foreign investors and U.S. commercial banks looking for yield.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from individual issue selection in the securitized sector. The Fund was also helped by our cross-sector strategy. 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. Conversely, the Fund’s duration strategy detracted modestly from relative returns. The duration strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

      Our government/swaps strategy did not have a meaningful impact on relative performance during the Reporting Period. The government/swaps strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Derivatives are used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

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

 

A  

Within the securitized sector, individual issue selection contributed most positively to relative performance. More specifically, the Fund benefited from our selection of individual commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). The Fund’s overall exposure to CLOs and CMBS also added to relative returns as spreads (yield differentials to duration- equivalent Treasuries) tightened. In addition, an overweight in non-agency mortgage-backed securities bolstered Fund results due to the limited supply of these assets and a broad- based improvement in the U.S. housing landscape. This positive performance was offset somewhat by the Fund’s underweight in agency mortgage-backed securities amid demand by non-U.S. institutional buyers, principally those from Asia, and U.S. commercial banks during the Reporting Period. Among agency mortgage-backed securities, the Fund was hurt by an underweight in 15-year maturities as well as by an underweight in issues lower in the coupon stack (i.e., across securities with different coupons). Fifteen-year agency mortgage-backed securities performed well as spreads narrowed on increased demand. Also, longer maturity U.S.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

Treasury yields fell during the Reporting Period overall, which benefited longer duration, lower coupon agency mortgage-backed securities.

 

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 strategy detracted modestly from results. During the Reporting Period, the Fund held a short duration position relative to that of the Index in response to improving U. S. labor markets, stronger U.S. economic data and the increased likelihood that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would raise short-term interest rates before the end of 2016. This positioning hurt Fund performance in June 2016 when U.S. Treasury yields fell after the Brexit vote. During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s yield curve positioning strategy did not have a meaningful impact on performance. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.

 

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

 

A   The Fund used U.S. Treasury and Eurodollar futures to hedge interest rate exposure 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 a relative 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 the maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds.) The Fund used mortgage-backed securities forward agreements (known as “TBAs”) to efficiently manage certain of its mortgage-backed securities positions. It used interest only and inverse interest-only securities to manage the Fund’s exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities. The Fund utilized swaptions to hedge volatility and yield curve risks in the Fund and/or to express tactical views on rate markets. The Fund also employed index total return swaps to efficiently manage the Fund’s mortgage-backed securities exposure. Additionally, a specialized index of credit default swaps (“CDX”) was used to manage the CMBS beta of the Fund on an active basis and to hedge the Fund’s CMBS exposure. The use of these derivatives had an overall positive impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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 a short duration position relative to that of the Index to a more neutral position, partly because we believed the possibility of higher interest rates had already been priced into the market but also because we believed increased volatility due to near-term events, such as the November 2016 U.S. elections, could cause interest rates to fall. We also reduced the size of the Fund’s underweight in agency mortgage-backed securities 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 underweight agency pass-through mortgage securities relative to the Index. It held modest positions in non- agency residential mortgage backed securities and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). (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.) In addition, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was modestly overweight CMBS compared to the Index. It was overweight asset-backed securities (“ABS”), with a position in Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) student loan ABS. CMOs, FFELP ABS and non-agency mortgage-backed securities are not represented in the Index.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was modestly underweight agency mortgage-backed securities. Within agency mortgage-backed securities, it was underweight Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) 3.5% coupon mortgage-backed securities and overweight GNMA 4.0% coupon mortgage-backed securities. Within the securitized sector, we believe senior CLOs and FFELP ABS offer attractive exposure to credit spreads with strong credit protection, and, at the end of the Reporting Period, we considered them compelling investments. We also had a positive view on legacy non-agency mortgage-backed securities (in general, those issued before the 2008-2009 financial crisis), which should continue, we believe, to benefit from weak supply and improvement in the performance of their underlying collateral.

  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 Bloomberg 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 Standardized Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Standardized Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

  4    The Standardized Total Returns are average annual total returns or cumulative total returns (only if the performance period is one year or less) 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, Class IR, Class R6 and Separate Account Institutional 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.

  5    The expense ratios of the Fund, both current (net of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and before waivers (gross of applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations) are as set forth above according to the most recent publicly available Prospectus for the Fund and may differ from the expense ratios disclosed in the Financial Highlights in this report. Pursuant to a contractual arrangement, the Fund’s waivers and/or expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date the Investment Adviser may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. If these arrangements are discontinued in the future, the expense ratios may change without shareholder approval.

The likelihood of a credit event occurring which would require a fund or its counterparty to make a payment or otherwise be required to perform under the swap contract is generally greater as the credit spread and the term of the swap contract increase.

The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets.

(a)

  Bank 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 maturity shown. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the bank loan facility on September 30, 2016. Bank 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)

  Security with “Call” features with resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the final maturity dates.

 

(c)

  Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be deemed 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 $1,564,128,852, which represents approximately 40.4% of net assets as of September 30, 2016.

(d)

  Security is currently in default and/or non-income producing.

(e)

  Pay-in-kind securities.

(f)

  Variable rate security. Interest rate or distribution rate disclosed is that which is in effect on September 30, 2016.

(g)

 

All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open reverse repurchase agreements. As of September 30, 2016, the value of securites pledged amounted to $11,224,575.

(h)

  Security with “Put” features and resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the puttable dates. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect at September 30, 2016.

(i)

  Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to legal restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are subsequently registered and the registration statement is effective. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Total market value of restricted securities amounts to $9,171,771, which represents approximately 0.2% of net assets as of September 30, 2016. See additional details below:

The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets.

(a)

  Bank 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 maturity shown. The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate of all contracts within the bank loan facility on September 30, 2016. Bank 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)

  Security with “Call” features with resetting interest rates. Maturity dates disclosed are the final maturity dates.

 

(c)

  Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be deemed 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 $247,701,542, which represents approximately 7.4% of net assets as of September 30, 2016.

(d)

  Pay-in-kind securities.

(e)

  Variable rate security. Interest rate or distribution rate disclosed is that which is in effect on September 30, 2016.

(f)

  Security is currently in default and/or non-income producing.

(g)

  Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to legal restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are subsequently registered and the registration statement is effective. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Total market value of restricted securities amounts to $27,567,349, which represents approximately 0.8% of net assets as of September 30, 2016. See additional details below:

  #   The Fund receives annual coupon payments in accordance with the swap contract. On the termination date of the swap contract(s), the Fund will either receive from or pay to the counterparty an amount equal to the net of the accrued financing fees and the value of the reference security subtracted from the original notional cost (notional principal amount multiplied by the price change of the reference security, converted to U.S. Dollars).
  *   There are no upfront payments on the swap contract(s), therefore the unrealized gain (loss) on the swap contracts is equal to their market value.

  (b)   Credit spread on the Referenced Obligation, together with the term of the swap contract, are indicators of payment/performance risk. The likelihood of a credit event occurring which would require a fund or its counterparty to make a payment or otherwise be required to perform under the swap contract is generally greater as the credit spread and the term of the swap contract increase.

  (a)   Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology.
  (b)   Assumes investment at the NAV at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the NAV 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.

  (a)   Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology.
  (b)   Assumes investment at the NAV at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the NAV 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.

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, dividend income, net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable, and securities lending income. 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. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

For derivative contracts, realized gains and losses are recorded upon settlement of the contract. Upfront payments, if any, are made or received upon entering into a swap agreement and are reflected in the Statements 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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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 income. 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.

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. 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 applicable Funds on a straight-line and/or pro-rata basis depending upon the nature of the expenses. Class specific expenses, where applicable, are borne by the respective share classes and include Distribution and Service, Transfer Agency and Service and Shareholder Administration fees.

D.  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.

E.  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. Losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.

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.

F.  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 translations. 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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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).

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.

The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has approved 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:

Equity Securities — Equity securities 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 there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by GSAM to not represent fair value, equity securities are valued at the last bid price for long positions and at the last ask price for short positions. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2.

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 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.

Private Investments — Private investments may include, but are not limited to, investments in private equity or debt instruments. The Investment Manager estimates the fair value of private investments based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in underlying investments or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in equity or debt capital markets, and changes in current and projected financial ratios or cash flows.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Investments in the Underlying Funds (except ETFs) are valued at the NAV per share of the Institutional Share class on the day of valuation. ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Because the Funds invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.

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. As of the date of the financial statements, short-term debt obligations that matured in sixty days or less and did not exhibit signs of credit deterioration were valued at amortized cost, which approximated fair value. Effective October 11, 2016, short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries (not held in money market funds), which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

i.  Bank Loans — Bank 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 with respect to Participations. Conversely, Assignments result in a Fund having a direct contractual relationship with the borrower, and the Fund may be permitted to 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.

ii.  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.

iii.  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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 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.

iv.  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. The Funds account for mortgage dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realize gains and losses on these transactions.

v.  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 instrument (notional amount multiplied by price of the referenced instrument) and record a realized gain or loss.

vi.  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.

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.

Derivative Contracts — A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from underlying assets, indices, reference rates or a combination of these factors. The Funds enter into derivative transactions to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, and/or currency exchange rates, to increase total return, or to gain access to certain markets or attain exposure to other underliers.

Exchange-traded derivatives, including futures and options contracts, are valued at the last sale or settlement price and typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) and centrally cleared 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 OTC and centrally cleared derivatives 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 and centrally cleared derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC and centrally cleared derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

i.  Forward Contracts — A forward contract is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract settlement can occur on a cash or delivery basis. Forward contracts are marked-to-market daily using independent vendor prices, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Cash and certain investments may be used to collateralize forward contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is a forward contract in which 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. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

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.

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.  Option Contracts — When a Fund writes call or put option contracts, 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.

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.

iv.  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 (“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, including a group of assets or exposure to the performance of an index. A Fund’s investment in credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the 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 a 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 and the premium payments received may be less than the notional amount of the swap paid to the buyer of protection. 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 a 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 upon settlement.

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.

A cross currency swap is an agreement which a Fund may enter into to gain or mitigate exposure to currency risk. A cross currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential among them. Such swaps may involve initial and final exchanges that correspond to the agreed upon notional amount. Cross currency swaps usually involve the delivery of the entire principal value of one designated currency in exchange for another designated currency. Therefore, the entire principal value of a cross currency swap is subject to risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transactions.

A total return swap is an agreement that gives a Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.

Short Term Investments — As of the date of the financial statements, short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less were valued at amortized cost which approximated fair market value. Effective October 11, 2016, such securities are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. These investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Secured Borrowings — Secured borrowings are valued at their contractual amounts, which approximates fair value, and are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

i.  Reverse Repurchase Agreements — Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of securities held by the Funds subject to the Funds’ agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest), under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). The gross value of reverse repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

A Fund entering into a reverse repurchase agreement is required to deliver securities as collateral to the counterparty that exceed the value of the reverse repurchase agreement. During the term of a reverse repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities pledged as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the value of those securities pledged as collateral, including accrued interest, becomes less than the value of the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest, a Fund will be obligated to deliver additional collateral to the buyer. If the buyer defaults on its commitment to sell back the securities, the Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the amount borrowed is less than the replacement cost of similar securities and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the reverse repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the buyer, a court could determine that the Fund’s interest in the amount borrowed is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.

B.  Level 3 Fair Value Investments — To the extent that significant inputs to valuation models and other alternative pricing sources 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 obtained directly from the broker or passed through from third party pricing vendors, such investments are classified as Level 3 investments. GSAM did not develop the unobservable inputs (examples include but are not limited to single source broker quotations, third party pricing, etc.) for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

(a)   Includes unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts described in the Additional Investment Information sections of the Schedules of Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(a)   Aggregate of amounts include $112,822, $4,907,566 and $13,431,548 for the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Emerging Markets Debt, and Local Emerging Markets Debt Funds, respectively, which represent the payments to be made pursuant to bilateral agreements should counterparties exercise their “right to terminate” provisions based on, among others, the Funds’ performance, their failure to pay on their obligations or failure to pledge collateral. 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 Funds are 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, 2016. These gains (losses) should be considered in the context that these derivative contracts may have been executed to create investment opportunities and/or 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:

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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and certain options and swaps), 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. 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 initial margin to the counterparty, 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 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 the Investment Adviser 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 to the restrictions or prohibitions against the right of setoff that may be imposed in accordance with a particular jurisdiction’s bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

Prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. Where the application of the above contractual management fee breakpoint schedule of a Fund would result in a lower management fee rate, the breakpoint schedule will be applied to the Fund’s assets.

The Funds invest in the Institutional Shares of the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Fund, which is an affiliated Underlying Fund. GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee payable by the Funds in an amount equal to the management fee it earns as an investment adviser to any of the affiliated Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, GSAM waived $84, $839, $92,795, $171,063, $2,620, $9,484 and $32,069, of the Fund’s management fees for the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, High Yield Floating Rate, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds, respectively.

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:

 

     Distribution and Service Plan Rates  
      Class A*        Class C        Class R*  

Distribution Plan

     0.25        0.75        0.50

Service Plan

               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.

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. These plans allow for service organizations to provide varying levels of personal and account maintenance and shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan and Shareholder Administration Plan each provide for compensation to the service organizations which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% (0.50% in aggregate) of the average daily net assets of the Service Shares.

E.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Funds for a fee pursuant to the Transfer Agency Agreement. The fees charged for such transfer agency services are accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates as follows: 0.13% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C, Class IR and Class R Shares; 0.02% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional, Separate Account Institutional and Service Shares.

Effective as of July 29, 2016, Goldman Sachs waived a portion of the transfer agency fees to 0.04% of Class A, Class C and Class IR Shares of the Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund.

F.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Funds (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, shareholder meeting, litigation, indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Funds are not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitations as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets for the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, High Yield Floating Rate, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds, are 0.054%, 0.054%, 0.024%, 0.104%, 0.004%, 0.074% and 0.074%, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 29, 2017, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangements without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Funds have entered into certain offset arrangements with the custodian and the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Funds’ expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitations described above.

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of September 30, 2016, the Funds participated in a $1,100,000,000 committed, unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “facility”) together with other funds of the Trust and certain registered investment companies having management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates (“Other Borrowers”). This facility is to be used for temporary emergency purposes, or to allow for an orderly liquidation of securities to meet redemption requests. The interest rate on borrowings is based on the federal funds rate. The facility also requires a fee to be paid by the Funds based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the six months ended September 30, 2016, Goldman Sachs earned $653, $33,676, $8,447, $8,764, and $6,050 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant on behalf of the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Emerging Markets Debt, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds, respectively.

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to wash sales, net mark-to-market gains (losses) on regulated futures contracts and foreign currency contracts, differences related to the tax treatment of inflation protected securities, underlying fund investments, the recognition of income and gains/losses of certain bonds, bank loans, certain debt securities, swap transactions, and 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:

Derivatives Risk — Loss may result from the Funds’ investments in derivative instruments. These instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Losses from investments in derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets (if any) being hedged.

Foreign and Emerging Countries Risk — Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the United States. Foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which a Fund invests. Loss may also result from the imposition of exchange controls, confiscations and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in registration, settlement or custody. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which a Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that a Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — A Fund that invests in foreign securities may hold such securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund’s custodian (each a “Foreign Custodian”). Some foreign custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over, or independent evaluation of, their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

limitations on a Fund’s ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by a Fund will generally decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with increasing rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but may be expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and the Funds’ investments.

Investments in Other Investment Companies — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), a Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any net management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies, in addition to the fees and expenses regularly borne by the Fund. ETFs are subject to risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including but not limited to the following: (i) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to their NAV; and (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained.

Large Shareholder Transactions Risk — A Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, such as other funds, institutional investors (including those trading by use of non-discretionary mathematical formulas), financial intermediaries (who may make investment decisions on behalf of underlying clients and/or include a Fund in their investment model), individuals, accounts and Goldman Sachs affiliates, purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of a Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause a Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. These transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in a Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Leverage Risk — Leverage creates exposure to potential gains and losses in excess of the initial amount invested. Borrowing and the use of derivatives may result in leverage and may make the Funds more volatile. When the Funds use leverage, the sum of each Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in each Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. Each Fund will identify liquid assets on its books or otherwise cover transactions that may give rise to such risk, to the extent required by applicable law. The use of leverage may cause the Funds to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy their obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by each Fund can substantially increase the adverse impact to which each Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.

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 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. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Loan-Related Investments Risk — In addition to risks generally associated with debt investments, loan-related investments such as loan participations and assignments are subject to other risks. Although a loan obligation may be fully collateralized at the time of acquisition, the collateral may decline in value, be relatively illiquid, or lose all or substantially all of its value subsequent to investment. Many loan investments are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and may be relatively illiquid and difficult to value. There is less readily available, reliable information about most loan investments than is the case for many other types of securities. Substantial increases in interest rates may cause an increase in loan obligation defaults. With respect to loan participations, a Fund may not always have direct recourse against a borrower if the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal and/or interest; may be subject to greater delays, expenses and risks than if the Fund had purchased a direct obligation of the borrower; and may be regarded as the creditor of the agent lender (rather than the borrower), subjecting the Fund to the creditworthiness of that lender as well. Investors in loans, such as the Funds, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws, although they may be entitled to certain contractual remedies. The market for loan obligations may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. Because transactions in many loans are subject to extended trade settlement periods, a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan for a period after the sale. As a result, sale proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to make additional investments or to meet the Fund’s redemption obligations for a period after the sale of the loans, and, as a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions, such as borrowing from its credit facility, if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.

Senior Loans hold the most senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, and are typically secured with specific collateral, but are nevertheless usually rated below investment grade. Because Second Lien Loans are subordinated or unsecured and thus lower in priority of payment to Senior Loans, they are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured obligations of the borrower. Second Lien Loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.

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 or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.

Non-Diversification Risk — Each of the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund are non-diversified, meaning that they are permitted to invest a larger percentage of their assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. Thus, a 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.

Geographic and Sector Risk — As a result of the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Emerging Markets Debt, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages 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, political, environmental or other development may affect the value of the Funds’ investments more than if their investments were not so focused.

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. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Separate Account Institutional, Class IR, Class R and Class R6 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 C Shares), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Service 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 C, Institutional, Service, Separate Account Institutional, Class IR, Class R or Class R6 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, 2016 through September 30, 2016, which represents a period of 183 out of 365 days.

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.

*   Expenses for each share class are calculated using each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio for each class, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended September 30, 2016. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the annualized net expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year; and then dividing that result by the number of days in the fiscal year. The annualized net expense ratios for the period were as follows:

The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund, Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Credit Fund, Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund, and Goldman Sachs U.S. Mortgages Fund (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 throughout 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, 2017 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 15-16, 2016 (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 three 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, matters relevant to the renewal of the Management Agreement were considered by the Board, or the Independent Trustees, as applicable. With respect to each Fund, such matters included:

  (a)   the nature and quality of the advisory, administrative, and other services provided to the Fund 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 central funding); sales and distribution support groups, and others (e.g., information technology and training);
  (iii)   trends in employee 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 Fund, 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”), a benchmark performance index, and a composite of accounts with comparable investment strategies managed by the Investment Adviser (in the case of the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, Local Emerging Markets Debt, and U.S. Mortgages Funds); and general investment outlooks in the markets in which the Fund invests;
  (c)   information provided by the Investment Adviser indicating the Investment Adviser’s views on whether the Fund’s peer group and/or benchmark index had high, medium, or low relevance given the Fund’s particular investment strategy;
  (d)   the terms of the Management Agreement and other agreements with affiliated service providers entered into by the Trust on behalf of the Fund;
  (e)   fee and expense information for the Fund, including:
  (i)   the relative management fee and expense level of the Fund as compared to those of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as provided by the Outside Data Provider;
  (ii)   the Fund’s expense trends over time; and
  (iii)   to the extent the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts (such as bank collective trusts, private wealth management accounts, institutional separate accounts, sub-advised mutual funds, and non-U.S. funds) having investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Fund, comparative information on the advisory fees charged and services provided to those accounts by the Investment Adviser;
  (f)   with respect to the extensive investment performance and expense comparison data provided by the Outside Data Provider, its processes in producing that data for the Fund;
  (g)   the undertakings of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations;

  (h)   information relating to the profitability of the Management Agreement and the transfer agency and distribution and service arrangements of the Fund and the Trust as a whole to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;
  (i)   whether the Fund’s existing management fee schedule adequately addressed any economies of scale;
  (j)   a summary of the “fall-out” benefits derived by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, including the fees received by the Investment Adviser’s affiliates from the Fund for transfer agency, portfolio trading, distribution and other services;
  (k)   a summary of potential benefits derived by the Fund as a result of its relationship with the Investment Adviser;
  (l)   information regarding portfolio trading and how the Investment Adviser carries out its duty to seek best execution;
  (m)   portfolio manager ownership of Fund shares; the manner in which portfolio manager compensation is determined; and the number and types of accounts managed by the portfolio managers;
  (n)   the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund by its unaffiliated service providers, and the Investment Adviser’s general oversight and evaluation (including reports on due diligence) of those service providers as part of the administrative services provided under the Management Agreement; and
  (o)   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 Fund’s 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 payment of distribution, service, and shareholder administration fees, as applicable. 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 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.

The presentations made at the Board and Committee meetings and at the Annual Meeting encompassed the Funds and other mutual funds 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 and 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 the Investment Adviser addressed the questions and concerns of the Trustees, including concerns regarding the investment performance of certain of the funds they oversee. The Independent Trustees 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.

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 to the Funds by the Investment Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered both the investment advisory services and non-advisory services that are provided 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. They also noted the Investment Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to respond to ongoing changes to the regulatory and control environment in which the Funds and their service providers operate, as well as the efforts of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates to combat cyber security risks. 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 and its affiliates.

Investment Performance

The Trustees also considered the investment performance of the Funds. In this regard, they compared the investment performance of each Fund to its peers using rankings and (except with respect to the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund) ratings compiled by the Outside Data Provider as of December 31, 2015, and updated performance information prepared by the Investment Adviser using the peer group identified by the Outside Data Provider as of March 31, 2016. The information on each

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 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 Funds’ performance (in the case of the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, Local Emerging Markets Debt, and U.S. Mortgages Funds) to that of composites of accounts with comparable investment strategies 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 Trustees observed that the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees observed that the High Yield Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the five- and ten-year periods, in the third quartile for the three-year period, and in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016. They observed that the High Yield Floating Rate Fund’s Institutional 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-year period and underperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees noted that the Investment Grade Credit Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the second quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the three- and five-year periods and in the third quartile for the one- and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the five-year period and underperformed for the one-, three-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016. The Trustees noted that the Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the fourth quartile of the Fund’s peer group and had underperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended March 31, 2016. They noted that the U.S. Mortgages Fund’s Institutional Shares had placed in the first quartile of the Fund’s peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, and had outperformed the Fund’s benchmark index for the three- and five-year periods and underperformed for the one- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2016. They also noted that the Investment Grade Credit Fund and U.S. Mortgages Fund had experienced certain portfolio management changes in 2015.

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. The analyses provided a comparison of each Fund’s management fee and breakpoints to those of a relevant peer group and category universe; an expense analysis which compared each Fund’s overall net and gross expenses to a peer group and a category universe; and data 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 implement fee waivers and/or expense limitations. The Trustees also noted that certain changes were being made to existing fee waiver or expense limitation arrangements of the Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund that would have the effect of decreasing total Fund expenses, with such changes taking effect in connection with the Fund’s next annual registration statement update. They also considered, to the extent that the Investment Adviser manages other types of accounts 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 other types of accounts which, in many cases, operated under less stringent legal and regulatory structures, required fewer services from the Investment Adviser to a smaller number of client contact points, and were less time-intensive.

In addition, the Trustees noted that shareholders are able to redeem their Fund shares at any time if shareholders 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. 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 information on 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 noted that the internal audit group within the Goldman Sachs organization had audited the expense allocation methodology and was satisfied with the reasonableness, consistency, and accuracy of the Investment Adviser’s expense allocation methodology and profitability analysis calculations. Profitability data for the Trust and each Fund were provided for 2015 and 2014, 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:

 

     Dynamic
Emerging
Markets Debt
Fund
    Emerging
Markets Debt

    High Yield

    Local

First $2 billion     0.90     0.80     0.70     0.90
Next $3 billion     0.81        0.72        0.63        0.81   
Next $3 billion     0.77        0.68        0.60        0.77

Next $1 billion     0.54        0.36        0.36     
Next $3 billion     0.51        0.34        0.34     
Next $3 billion     0.50        0.33        0.33     
Over $8 billion     0.49        0.32        0.32     

The Trustees noted that the breakpoints were designed 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 undertaking to waive a portion of its management fee (with respect to the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt, and U.S. Mortgages Funds) and to limit certain expenses 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 and High Yield Floating Rate Funds, which each 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 relationships with the Funds as stated above, including: (a) transfer agency fees received by Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”);

 

187


GOLDMAN SACHS SINGLE SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Management Agreement (Unaudited) (continued)

 

(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 more likely to do 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) enhanced servicing from vendors because of the volume of business generated by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates; (c) enhanced 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 on behalf of the Funds 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. In addition, the Trustees noted the competitive nature of the mutual fund marketplace, and considered 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.

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, 2017.
