Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Asset Management Credit Alternatives Portfolio Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Long Short Credit Strategies Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (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, Investor and R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.86%, 0.12%, 1.32%, 1.12% and 0.61%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.21% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

    For the period from their inception on November 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Fund’s R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of -0.62%. This return compared to the 0.41% cumulative total return of 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 credit-related instruments), references to the 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, moderate economic growth, low inflation and accommodative central bank policy at home and abroad provided a generally favorable backdrop for U.S. corporate credit and also led to notably muted volatility in both the equity and credit markets until early February 2018.

 

    U.S. credit markets, especially U.S. high yield bonds, rallied, as credit spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, tightened during the Reporting Period. Supporting the markets was steady global economic growth, led by the developed markets. Despite the moderate rate of economic growth and the unemployment levels not seen since early 2001, U.S. inflation remained historically low. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained its accommodative approach to raising the targeted federal funds rate. The Fed raised interest rates three times during the Reporting Period — in June and December 2017 and in March 2018 — bringing the targeted federal funds rate to a range of 1.50% to 1.75% by the end of the Reporting Period. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we also saw the beginning of the Fed’s balance sheet roll-off, wherein it would gradually shrink its balance sheet. The Fed’s balance sheet had expanded dramatically in its quantitative easing strategy designed to help the economy recover from the 2007-2009 financial crisis. On the fiscal front, the U.S. Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, which included a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. This bill was largely viewed by the markets as positive for corporate borrowers and business investment.

 

    During the last two months of the Reporting Period, equity and credit markets were marked by heightened volatility and a sharp rise in rates, stoked by market speculation that robust labor market data would lead to a faster pace of interest rate hikes. Concerns about monetary policy tightening were exacerbated by solid U.S. inflation data and new Fed Chair Powell’s testimony before Congress positing a more optimistic economic outlook. Renewed concerns about the increasingly hostile exchanges between North Korea and the White House and reaction to potentially unfavorable changes in U.S. trade policy further drove heightened volatility. Credit spreads widened as a result.

 

   

That said, through the Reporting Period, the U.S. credit markets were supported by generally healthy credit fundamentals, including strong corporate earnings. Despite solid high yield credit fundamentals, investor uncertainty surrounding compressed high yield spreads — as well as broader macro concerns, including renewed geopolitical

tensions, interest rate hikes and global economic growth — contributed to a cautious consensus view toward the high yield market. Such a view drove outflows from the U.S. high yield market and inflows into U.S. leveraged loans.

 

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 capital goods, consumer cyclicals and energy credits. The largest individual contributors during the Reporting Period included long positions in Bombardier, Navistar and The Hertz Corporation.

 

    Within the Fund’s long positioning, there were no sectors that materially detracted from performance. That said, the largest individual detractors during the Reporting Period were the Fund’s positions in PetSmart and Weatherford International. 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, also detracted from its results during the Reporting Period as spreads tightened. The Fund’s interest rate swaps, which are used to hedge duration, contributed modestly positively to 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 generally healthy fundamentals. U.S. high yield corporate bonds and bank loans were among the strongest performers during the Reporting Period, as spreads narrowed. 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 to hedge the interest rate risk of certain bonds, thereby limiting the Fund’s exposure to changes in interest rates. The Fund’s interest rate swap positions contributed positively, albeit modestly, to its performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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 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 contributed modestly positively to 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. Used during the Reporting Period but not held at the end of the Reporting Period, foreign currency exchange forward contracts had a rather neutral impact on the Fund’s performance for the Reporting Period overall.

 

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 modestly increased the Fund’s allocation to secured indebtedness, including high yield and bank loans, during the Reporting Period. We also found what we considered to be compelling opportunities amongst short duration bonds, especially toward the very short-term end of the yield curve, or spectrum of interest rates based on maturities of varying lengths. We maintained our favor toward short-dated high yield credit securities, which, in our view, offer attractive risk-adjusted yields and some insulation from potential increases in interest rates. We believe these securities are attractive for maintaining yield while limiting overall interest rate exposure, particularly given Fed interest rate hikes thus far and potential additional interest rate increases in 2018.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

    We took a cautious view in the Fund given the rally in the corporate credit markets seen in the Fund’s prior fiscal year and during much of the Reporting Period. Our view was driven by the potential for volatility related to both geopolitical events and macroeconomic uncertainty, including further interest rate hikes, the reduction of the Fed’s balance sheet and the pace of global economic growth. We expressed this view by increasing the Fund’s short exposure to a high yield credit default swap index. 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 March 2018?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was defensively positioned based on our cautious view of the market at the end of March 2018. The Fund remained focused on higher quality issuers in the capital structure and companies with what we considered to be strong cash flow.

 

    Reflecting our modestly defensive Fund positioning, as of March 31, 2018, approximately 54% of the Fund’s total net assets was invested in unsecured debt obligations, 19% in other secured debt obligations, 16% in bank loans, less than 1% in common stock and other equity securities and 9% in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund’s notional derivative exposure, calculated as a percentage of total net assets, was -43% in a credit default swap high yield index. The Fund had a total of 137 holdings from 113 issuers at March 31, 2018, with the Fund’s top long corporate issuers, as measured by a percentage of total net assets invested, being Bombardier, Cheniere Energy and Weatherford International.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed 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, such as that seen toward the end of the Reporting Period, may lead to periods of technical dislocations in the market, which may provide for attractive single-name investing opportunities. 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 if interest rates continue to rise and should the Fed indeed take a more hawkish, less accommodative approach. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.)

 

    We intend to remain disciplined in our approach focused on credit selection. Our investment team has been identifying what we view as several investment opportunities in the new issue debt market, as we have seen what we consider to be attractive price entry points. Overall, 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 as well as to capitalize on changing market conditions.

  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 ICE BofAML 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 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 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 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, Investor, Class R and Class R6 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 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 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, with shareholders of the Predecessor Fund receiving Institutional Shares of the Fund upon consummation of the reorganization. Because the Predecessor Fund was the accounting survivor, the Fund has assumed the Predecessor Fund’s historical performance. The performance information for the Fund’s Institutional Shares 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. As a result, the Fund’s performance may differ substantially from what is shown for periods prior to March 24, 2014.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on June 15, 2009 (the date on which the Predecessor Fund commenced operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. The performance data in the graph for the Fund’s Institutional Shares, which do not impose an initial sales charge, do not reflect an initial sales charge for the period shown. Prior to March 24, 2014 (the effective date of the reorganization of 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 following graph. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and repurchase cash flows affecting the Fund.

(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 March 31, 2018. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2018

 

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. Goldman Sachs Long Short Credit Strategies Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified fund that currently offers six classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares. Class R6 Shares commenced operations on November 30, 2017. Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Prior to August 15, 2017 the Investor Shares were known as Class IR Shares.

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

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Fund may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are recognized over the contract’s term/event as realized gains or losses, with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps whose realized gains or losses are recognized from the effective start date. For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities, and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as 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 the Fund are allocated daily based upon the proportion of net assets of each class. Non-class specific expenses directly incurred by the Fund are charged to the Fund, while such expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated across the Fund 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.

D.  Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is the 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 Fund is 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Net capital losses, if any, 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 the 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 Fund’s net assets on the Statement 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 Fund 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 Statement of Operations within net change in unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. 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

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Fund’s policy is to use the market approach. 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 Fund’s 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 Fund, 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 Fund’s 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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, 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”). The 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, the 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. The 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 the 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 Fund may also enter into certain credit arrangements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. Unfunded loan commitments represent the remaining obligation of the Fund to the borrower. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. The 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.

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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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 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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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.  Swap Contracts — Bilateral swap contracts are agreements in which the 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 the 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, the 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. The 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 the 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, the 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. The 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, the Fund generally receives a payment stream throughout the term of the swap, provided that there is no credit event. In addition, if the Fund sells protection through a credit default swap, the 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, the 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. The 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, the 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 the 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 the Fund bought credit protection.

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 Fund’s 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 the 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 for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the 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 the 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 the Fund and the counterparty. Additionally, the 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 the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivative contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule 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 the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized,

contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The 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 Fund, 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 Fund’s business affairs, including providing facilities, GSAM is entitled to a management fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, contractual and effective net management fees with GSAM were at the following rates:

 

Contractual Management Rate        Effective Net
Management

^   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.

The Fund invests in 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 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, GSAM waived $42,794 of the Fund’s management fee.

B. Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Plans — The Trust, on behalf of Class A and Class R Shares of the Fund, has adopted Distribution and Service Plans subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution and Service 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. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A or Class R Shares of the Fund, as applicable, as set forth below.

The Trust, on behalf of Class C Shares of the Fund, has adopted a Distribution Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs as Distributor is entitled to a fee accrued daily and paid monthly for distribution services, which may then be paid by Goldman Sachs to authorized dealers. These fees are equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C Shares of the Fund, as set forth below.

 

     Distribution and/or Service Plan Rates

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

C.  Distribution Agreement — Goldman Sachs, as Distributor of the shares of the Fund 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained $108 in front end sales charges, and it did not retain any contingent deferred sales charges.

D.  Transfer Agency Agreement — Goldman Sachs also serves as the transfer agent of the Fund 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: 0.03% of average daily net assets with respect to Class R6 Shares, to 0.04% of average daily net assets with respect to the Institutional Shares and 0.13% of average daily net assets with respect to the Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares.

E.  Other Expense Agreements and Affiliated Transactions — GSAM has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” of the Fund (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, transfer agency fees and expenses, service fees and shareholder administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and indemnification, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed, on an annual basis, a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such Other Expense reimbursements, if any, are accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Fund is not obligated to reimburse GSAM for prior fiscal year expense reimbursements, if any. The Other Expense limitation as an annual percentage rate of average daily net assets of the Fund is 0.094%. The Other Expense limitation will remain in place through at least November 30, 2018, and prior to such date GSAM may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the Trustees. In addition, the Fund has entered into certain offset arrangements with the transfer agent, which may result in a reduction of the Fund’s expenses and are received irrespective of the application of the “Other Expense” limitation described above.

Goldman Sachs may voluntarily waive a portion of any payments under the Fund’s Distribution and Service Plan, Transfer Agency Agreement, and/or the 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

 

Management
Fee Waiver
       Transfer Agency
Waivers/Credits
       Distribution

F.  Line of Credit Facility — As of March 31, 2018, the Fund 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. 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 Fund based on the amount of the commitment that has not been utilized. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.

G.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — As of March 31, 2018, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of approximately 69% of the Class R Shares of the Fund.

The following table provides information about the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Fund as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018:

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

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

In order to present certain components of the Fund’s capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Fund’s accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and result primarily from differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, foreign currency transactions, underlying fund investments, the recognition of income and gains/losses of certain bonds, and material modification of debt securities.

GSAM has reviewed the Fund’s 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 Fund’s financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

 

8. OTHER RISKS

Derivatives Risk — The Fund’s use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes in the value of the underlying instruments may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from 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 Fund invests. The imposition of exchange controls, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Foreign risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. To the extent that the Fund also invests in securities of issuers located in emerging markets, these risks may be more pronounced.

Foreign Custody Risk — If the Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund 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 the 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS LONG SHORT CREDIT STRATEGIES FUND

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

March 31, 2018

 

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 Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Fund.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — As a shareholder of another investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), the 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 — The 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 the 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 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 the 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 the 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 Fund more volatile. When the Fund uses leverage, the sum of the Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. Relatively small market movements may result in large changes in the value of a leveraged investment. The 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 Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet segregation requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so. The use of leverage by the Fund can substantially increase the adverse impact to which the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.

Liquidity Risk — The 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 the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell 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;

 

30


GOLDMAN SACHS LONG SHORT CREDIT STRATEGIES FUND

 

 

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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 Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). Additionally, the 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.

Short Position Risk — The 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 the Fund’s assets and presents various risks, including counterparty risk. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which the 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. To the extent that the Fund uses the proceeds it receives from a short position to take additional long positions, the risks associated with the short position, including leverage risks, may be heightened, because doing so increases the exposure of the Fund to the markets and therefore could magnify changes to the Fund’s NAV.

 

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 Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

10. OTHER MATTERS

March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the Statement 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of the

Goldman Sachs Long Short Credit Strategies Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Goldman Sachs Long Short Credit Strategies Fund (one of the funds constituting the Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2018  (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the 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, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares of the Fund 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 October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, which represents a period of 182 days in a 365-day year. The Class R6 example is based on the period from December 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, which represents a period of 121 out of 365 days. The Class R6 example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.

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 Fund’s actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 Fund 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 the 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 March 31, 2018. 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 reports concerning the Fund included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Fund in the future.

MARKET REVIEW

Market Review

During the 12 months ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), the performance of the global fixed income markets was driven primarily by improving economic growth around the world, geopolitical events and shifting investor expectations about central bank monetary policy.

When the Reporting Period began with the second quarter of 2017, spread, or non-government bond, sectors generally recorded positive returns. Political developments led to temporary bouts of volatility early in the quarter, driving weakness in Brazilian, U.S. and U.K. fixed income assets as well as a credit rating downgrade of South Africa’s sovereign debt. Political risks receded in May 2017 on the centrist candidate’s victory in the French presidential election, which was supportive of French and European peripheral bonds broadly. On the economic front, U.S. core inflation weakened for the third consecutive month in May 2017, casting uncertainty over the pace of Federal Reserve (“Fed”) monetary tightening. Nonetheless, comments included in minutes from the Fed’s May and June 2017 policy meetings suggested an announcement about how and when the Fed would begin reducing the size of its balance sheet would be made sooner than the markets had previously anticipated. In Europe, economic data continued to surprise to the upside. At its June 2017 policy meeting, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) provided an optimistic assessment of the risks to growth but revised downward its medium-term inflation forecasts. The ECB, Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) and Bank of England (“BoE”) left their respective monetary policies unchanged during the second calendar quarter, while at its June 2017 policy meeting, the Fed raised interest rates for the second time in 2017 and the fourth time since the 2007-2009 global financial crisis. As the quarter came to an end, a string of comments from global central bankers triggered a hawkish market reaction. (Hawkish suggests higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Global interest rates rose as the market anticipated a steeper pace of monetary policy tightening by the BoE, ECB and Bank of Canada (“BoC”). During the second quarter of 2017, the U.S. dollar weakened versus many global currencies.

During the third quarter of 2017, spread sectors broadly advanced. The Fed kept its monetary policy unchanged but unveiled its plans for balance sheet normalization. (Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed will take to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.) This prompted a hawkish market reaction, with the U.S. dollar appreciating and yields on U.S. government bonds rising. However, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, only steepened modestly due to geopolitical uncertainty, mixed U.S. economic data (including weak inflation readings) and because balance sheet normalization had been communicated by policymakers earlier in the calendar year. (A steepening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities widens.) The central banks of other developed countries also set the stage for less accommodative monetary policy. The BoE noted “a majority” of its policymakers were in favor of tightening policy “over the coming months,” while the BoC surprised the markets with two consecutive rate hikes. The market’s expectations for a BoE rate hike in November 2017, along with a constructive tone for Brexit negotiations, also drove the British pound higher versus the U.S. dollar. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to exit the European Union.) Overall, the U.S. dollar continued to weaken relative to many global currencies during the third calendar quarter.

During the fourth calendar quarter, spread sector performance was largely positive, supported by ongoing strength in the global macro environment and contained market, macro and

political volatility. Passage of U.S. tax reform legislation and solid corporate earnings were particularly supportive of U.S. corporate credit. In October 2017, the ECB announced it would reduce its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion for nine months beginning in January 2018, mainly by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. The ECB also said its policy rates would remain low for “an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of the net asset purchases.” During the same month, the BoE reversed an emergency interest rate cut, made in August 2016 following the Brexit referendum, and signaled that future monetary policy tightening would be limited, gradual and dependent on the economic reaction to the U.K.’s eventual departure from the European Union. In December 2017, the Fed delivered its third short-term interest rate hike of 2017. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, indicated that three interest rate increases may be on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. The U.S. dollar weakened further versus many global currencies during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Spread sectors were challenged during the first quarter of 2018, as market volatility surged. Among the catalysts were firmer than consensus expected U.S. wage and price inflation data at the beginning of February, equity market declines and rising concerns about trade tensions in March. The Fed raised short-term interest rates at its March policy meeting and left unchanged its projection for a total of three rate hikes during 2018. Beyond the U.S., monetary policy action was muted in the developed markets during the first calendar quarter, though policymakers in Europe and Japan sounded mildly dovish and those in Norway appeared more hawkish. Economic activity data was strong across the world, with positive growth reported in both emerging markets and developed markets countries, though the pace of above-trend growth moderated somewhat. During the first quarter of 2018, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly versus many global currencies.

For the Reporting Period as a whole, spread sectors outperformed U.S. Treasury securities, led by sovereign emerging markets debt, high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities also outperformed U.S. Treasuries, albeit to a lesser extent. The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened slightly during the Reporting Period, as yields on shorter- and intermediate-term maturities rose more than yields on most longer-term maturities. The yield on the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury rose approximately 35 basis points to end the Reporting Period at 2.74%. Meanwhile, yields on 30-year U.S. Treasury securities edged down approximately five basis points. (A flattening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows. A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected global economic growth to remain strong, though we believed it would continue at a more moderate pace in the near term than during the Reporting Period. In our view, numerous factors were driving the ongoing global economic expansion, including household consumption, business capital expenditures, industrial production and trade.

Regarding the U.S., the tax reform legislation passed by Congress during December 2017 and the subsequent enactment of a budget agreement that would increase the caps on federal spending during 2018 and 2019 is likely to improve U.S. economic growth, in our opinion. We think the added boost to an already healthy U.S. economy will lower recession risk in the

near term. That said, we believe the fiscal expansion will likely limit the potential effectiveness of future fiscal policy, possibly increasing recession risks in the longer term. As for inflation, we think that tightness in the labor market and broader capacity constraints may well lead to firmer wage and price inflation, though we expect a gradual normalization rather than an acceleration in price increases. Upside inflation surprises, we believe, could spark more frequent bouts of financial market volatility. In Europe and Japan, we expect economic growth to benefit from the momentum generated during 2017 as well as from continued accommodative monetary policy from the ECB and BoJ, respectively. In the emerging markets, tail risk from China has declined, in our view, as the country’s financial deleveraging progress continues, while its economic growth continues to shift toward consumption and services. (Tail risk is a form of portfolio risk that arises when the possibility that an

investment will move more than three standard deviations from the mean is greater than what is shown by a normal distribution. Tail risks include events that have a small probability of occurring and occur at the ends of a normal distribution curve.) Elsewhere in the emerging markets, we expect economic growth to be supported by countries recovering from oil shock-induced recessions or benefiting from global economic growth and trade.

Regarding central bank policy, we believe the Fed will likely raise short-term interest rates further in 2018. In our opinion, the ECB is likely to conclude its quantitative easing program by calendar year end. We expect the BoJ to remain on hold in the near term, while modest monetary policy tightening is likely in many other developed markets countries during the next 12 months, in our view.

With regard to U.S. trade policy, we considered its impact on the global economy to be limited at the end of the Reporting Period. In our view, strong protectionist rhetoric has been diluted to relatively restrained, well-orchestrated and targeted actions thus far, and so we see limited near-term macro or market impact. The balance of risks around our optimistic economic growth and benign trade outlook would shift if the scope and magnitude of tariffs were to broaden across countries and sectors, or if the U.S. encountered greater retaliation from China and other affected countries. In this scenario, we believe the macro costs would likely include higher inflation and interest rates as well as slower global economic growth.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.22%, -0.53%, 0.56%, 0.06%, 0.47%, -0.03% and 0.58%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.20% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Bloomberg Barclays Index”), during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   Our country strategy detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Long positions in Canadian and European rates versus short positions in U.S. rates drove underperformance most within the country strategy. The Bank of Canada surprised markets during the summer of 2017 with two interest rate hikes, lifting their benchmark rate to 1%, citing stronger than consensus expected economic data. European rates generally moved higher given positive economic growth data and widespread anticipation that the European Central Bank may reduce accommodation and taper its quantitative easing or raise rates sooner than the January 2018 timeline originally expected by the markets. The Fund’s country strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures. Bottom-up individual issue selection overall detracted from relative performance as well.

 

    Our top-down currency strategy generated mixed but overall positive results during the Reporting Period. Long positions in the Czech koruna, Polish zloty and Norwegian krone boosted returns most. These gains were partially offset by short positions in the euro and Japanese yen, which detracted. The currency strategy is primarily implemented via currency forwards.

 

    Overall, 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.

 

    Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy contributed positively to 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 non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) contributed positively to relative results. Exposure to the government/swaps sector further added to relative returns during the Reporting Period. Only partially offsetting these positive contributors were underweights to the corporate credit, agency mortgage-backed securities and emerging markets debt sectors, which detracted, as these sectors outpaced the Bloomberg Barclays Index during the Reporting Period.

 

   

Selection of Puerto Rico municipal bonds detracted from relative returns within the municipal bond sector following Governor Ricardo’s initiation of the Commonwealth to enter a Title III restructuring. Market expectations of the negative economic impact from Hurricane Maria added to these bonds’ headwinds. (Title III is an in-court debt restructuring process akin to U.S. bankruptcy protection, since Puerto Rico is barred from using Chapter 9 of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code reserved for insolvent public entities. It should be noted

that this action was taken on May 3, 2017, well before the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria.) Within emerging markets debt, short exposure to China through the ownership of credit protection detracted from performance. So, too, did selection of U.S. dollar-denominated debt from Brazil and Venezuela detract from relative results. These losses were partially offset by selection of U.S. dollar-denominated debt from Ecuador, which contributed positively.

 

    Within the government/swaps sector, global yield curve steepeners detracted, while individual issue selection of U.S. government debt contributed positively. (A steepening yield curve is one wherein the differential between short-term and long-term yields widens.) The Fund’s government/swaps strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/ or futures.

 

    Selection of asset-backed securities boosted relative results, while selection of mortgage-backed securities and CLOs within the securitized sector detracted. Tactical credit curve positioning and a bias toward lower quality investment grade corporate bonds added value within the corporate credit sector, though selection of industrial names 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 contributed positively to its results during the Reporting Period, primarily driven by a short U.S. duration position relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index. During the Reporting Period, market pricing remained below our expectation for four interest rate hikes in calendar year 2018, and increased U.S. Treasury issuance weighed on short-term U.S. Treasury yields. For the first time in the post-financial crisis era, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) projected that core personal consumption expenditures (“PCE”) inflation will exceed its 2% target — in 2019 and 2020. This forecast was not accompanied by a change in the Fed’s expectations for two further interest rate hikes in calendar year 2018, following its March 2018 interest rate increase, suggesting, in our opinion, that the Fed views 2% as a target with symmetrical risks rather than a ceiling for inflation.

 

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. During the Reporting Period, positions in currency forwards, futures, swaptions, credit default swaps and interest rate swaps detracted from relative results.
  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.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

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

 

A   There were no notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period. We moderately increased the Fund’s position in U.S. Treasury obligations. We maintained the Fund’s modest exposure to corporate credit because we believe the U.S. is in the late stage of the credit cycle. Given that corporations overall are carrying significant leverage, we believe their bonds are more vulnerable to market shocks than other fixed income sectors. We further believe valuations seen during much of the Reporting Period within the sector did not compensate investors for these risks. We maintained the Fund’s underweight exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities on our view that valuations within the sector remained unattractive relative to other fixed income sectors. Additionally, the Fed announced and then began implementing an unwinding of its mortgage holdings, which put pressure on the agency mortgage market, potentially increasing volatility and pushing spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, higher.

 

    We maintained the Fund’s overweight to emerging markets debt on a market value basis, but we shifted from a modest underweight to the sector in terms of risk, as measured by contribution to duration, to a more neutral position early in 2018. At the sector level, we were cautious on emerging market valuations but acknowledged the support for the sector from ongoing strength in global economic growth and in China, a gradual pace of monetary tightening in developed markets, and a rise in commodity prices that has buoyed the terms of trade for emerging market countries.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

A   At the end of March 2018, the Fund had overweighted allocations relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index on a market-value weighted basis in asset-backed securities and, to a lesser extent, in emerging markets debt and high yield corporate bonds. The Fund also had modest exposure to municipal bonds, which is a sector not represented in the Bloomberg Barclays Index. The Fund had underweighted exposure relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in U.S. government securities, investment grade corporate bonds and residential mortgage-backed securities and, to a lesser extent, in commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Fund held rather neutral positions compared to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in quasi-government securities. The Fund had no exposure to covered 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 also maintained a position in cash at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had a shorter overall duration compared to that of the Bloomberg 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. 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 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.

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, Investor, Class R and Class R6 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.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

FUND RESULTS

 

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.56%, -0.18%, 0.81%, 0.41%, 0.81%, 0.31% and 0.92%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.20% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Bloomberg Barclays Index”), during the same period.

 

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

 

A   Our country strategy detracted from the Fund’s relative results. Long positions in Canadian and European rates versus short positions in U.S. rates drove underperformance most within the country strategy. The Bank of Canada surprised markets during the summer of 2017 with two interest rate hikes, lifting their benchmark rate to 1%, citing stronger than consensus expected economic data. European rates generally moved higher given positive economic growth data and widespread anticipation that the European Central Bank may reduce accommodation and taper its quantitative easing or raise rates sooner than the January 2018 timeline originally expected by the markets. The Fund’s country strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/ or futures.

 

    Our top-down currency strategy further detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period.

 

    Short positions in the euro and the Japanese yen detracted most. These losses were partially offset by long positions in the Norwegian krone, which contributed positively. The currency strategy is primarily implemented via currency forwards.

 

    Tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy contributed positively to 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.

 

    Overall, 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. Bottom-up individual issue selection overall added value as well.

 

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”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) contributed positively to relative results. Exposure to the government/swaps sector and an overweight to agency debentures further added to relative returns during the Reporting Period. Only partially offsetting these positive contributors were underweights to the corporate credit, agency mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities sectors, which detracted, as these sectors outpaced the Bloomberg Barclays Index during the Reporting Period.

 

   

Bottom-up individual issue selection strategies overall added value, driven by selection of investment grade financial names, corporate curve positioning and a bias to lower quality investment grade bonds within the corporate credit sector. Within the government/swaps sector, individual issue selection of U.S. government and agency debt contributed positively. The Fund’s government/swaps strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures.

 

12


FUND RESULTS

 

 

Within the securitized sector, selection of Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) student loan ABS proved most beneficial. Selection of U.S. dollar-denominated debt within the emerging markets debt sector slightly 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 contributed positively to its results during the Reporting Period, primarily driven by a short U.S. duration position relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index. During the Reporting Period, market pricing remained below our expectation for four interest rate hikes in calendar year 2018, and increased U.S. Treasury issuance weighed on short-term U.S. Treasury yields. For the first time in the post-financial crisis era, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) projected that core personal consumption expenditures (“PCE”) inflation will exceed its 2% target — in 2019 and 2020. This forecast was not accompanied by a change in the Fed’s expectations for two further interest rate hikes in calendar year 2018, following its March 2018 interest rate increase, suggesting, in our opinion, that the Fed views 2% as a target with symmetrical risks rather than a ceiling for inflation.

 

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. During the Reporting Period, positions in swaptions contributed positively to relative results, while positions in currency forwards, futures and interest rate swaps detracted from performance. Positions in credit default swaps had a rather neutral effect on performance during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   There were no notable changes in the Fund’s weightings during the Reporting Period. We maintained the Fund’s modest exposure to corporate credit because we believe the U.S. is in the late stage of the credit cycle. Given that corporations overall are carrying significant leverage, we believe their bonds are more vulnerable to market shocks than other fixed income sectors. We further believe valuations seen during much of the Reporting Period within the sector did not compensate investors for these risks. We maintained the Fund’s underweight exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities on our view that valuations within the sector remained unattractive relative to other fixed income sectors. Additionally, the Fed announced and then began implementing an unwinding of its mortgage holdings, which put pressure on the agency mortgage market, potentially increasing volatility and pushing spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, higher.

 

    We maintained the Fund’s overweight to emerging markets debt on a market value basis, but we shifted from a modest underweight to the sector in terms of risk, as measured by contribution to duration, to a more neutral position early in 2018. At the sector level, we were cautious on emerging market valuations but acknowledged the support for the sector from ongoing strength in global economic growth and in China, a gradual pace of monetary tightening in developed markets, and a rise in commodity prices that has buoyed the terms of trade for emerging market countries.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

A   At the end of March 2018, the Fund had its most overweighted allocations relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index on a market-value weighted basis in asset-backed securities. 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 exposures relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in residential mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government securities. To a lesser extent, the Fund was also underweight commercial mortgage-backed securities relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund maintained rather neutral exposures relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index to investment grade corporate bonds and emerging markets debt. The Fund had a modest position in high yield corporate bonds and no exposure to covered 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 also maintained a position in cash at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund had a modestly short duration overall compared to that of the Bloomberg 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.

Performance reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period shown. In their absence, performance would be reduced.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 1.38%, 0.68%, 1.72%, 1.31%, 1.63% and 1.73%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.46% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, Hedged) (the “Bloomberg Barclays 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 cross-sector strategy detracted most from relative results 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.

 

    Another detractor from the Fund’s performance was our country strategy, attributable primarily to the Fund’s long position in Canadian rates versus short position in U.S. rates. We thought the Bank of Canada would raise its interest rates at a slower pace than the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). However, early in September 2017, the Bank of Canada took the markets by surprise by hiking its interest rates for the second time that same summer, causing the Fund’s relative value trade to prove a detractor. The Fund’s long position in Australian rates versus short position in U.S. rates also disappointed during the Reporting Period, particularly in June and August 2017. The Fund’s position on the Swedish rates curve dampened relative results as well. These detractors were partially offset by the Fund’s European, U.K. and U.S. curve positions, which contributed positively. The country strategy is primarily implemented via interest rate swaps and/or futures.

 

    The Fund’s currency strategy contributed positively to its relative results during the Reporting Period. Overweights relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in the Czech krona and Polish zloty versus the euro added the most value. This trade expressed the confidence we had in the improved health of the Eurozone. Due to ongoing quantitative easing by the European Central Bank, we wished to express this view through currencies such as the Czech krone and Polish zloty both because of their trade linkages to the Eurozone’s economic growth and because of what we viewed as their supportive balance of payments. The Fund’s currency strategy primarily implements relative value positions in developed and emerging market currencies, using valuations relative to short- and medium-term fundamentals.

 

    Our duration strategy boosted relative results as well. 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 government/swaps selection strategy and corporate selection strategy contributed positively, while our emerging markets debt selection strategy detracted. The government/swaps selection strategy identifies local relative value anomalies and opportunities within government bond markets. The corporate selection strategy is primarily implemented via cash rate bonds and credit default swaps (mainly index swaps). The emerging markets debt selection strategy implements directional, relative value and idiosyncratic trade ideas in local and external emerging market rates and corporate bonds. Individual issue selection strategies reflect any active views we take on a particular sector.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

 

 

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

 

A   Our cross-sector strategy detracted due primarily to the Fund’s underweight position in emerging markets debt, as the sector outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Index during the Reporting Period as a whole and particularly in September 2017. Within our emerging markets debt selection strategy, which detracted, the Fund’s exposure to local Mexican debt hurt most.

 

    Our government/swaps selection strategy contributed positively to relative performance, with several trades boosting results. These included the Fund’s Japanese inflation trades and our U.S. curve steepener trades. (A steepening yield curve is one in which the differential between yields on shorter-term maturities and longer-term maturities widens.)

 

    Within our corporate selection strategy, selection amongst U.S. investment grade corporate bonds proved most beneficial.

 

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 positioning contributed positively to 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 Bloomberg Barclays Index throughout the Reporting Period.

 

    We introduced a modest long European rates position and a modest short Swedish rates positions during the Reporting Period.

 

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. While the use of derivatives generated mixed results during the Reporting Period, as described earlier, overall, they had a negative impact on the Fund’s results.

 

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

 

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

FUND RESULTS

 

 

 

 

mentioned earlier, we introduced a modest long European rates position and a modest short Swedish rates position during the Reporting Period.

 

    From a sector perspective, on a market-value weighted basis, we increased the Fund’s overall credit exposure via our cross-sector strategy.

 

    From a country perspective, on a market-value weighted basis, we increased the Fund’s exposure relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index to the U.S., to the emerging markets overall and, more modestly so, to Canada, and we decreased its relative weightings in the Eurozone overall. Within the Eurozone, we increased relative exposure to Germany and decreased relative exposures to France, Spain and Italy.

 

Q   Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, we implemented the following change in an effort to improve the coordination amongst our management strategies. Gilberto Marcheggiano, Vice President, assumed responsibility of the cross-macro team from Jonathan Bayliss. Gilberto has 11 years of industry experience. Gilberto reports to Jonathan Bayliss, head of macro rates. Macro rates includes the duration, country and cross-macro strategies.

 

    Tom Teles, Global Head of Securitized and Government/ Swap selection strategies and Co-Head of the Cross-Sector strategy in Goldman Sachs Asset Management (“GSAM”) Fixed Income decided to retire effective the end of March 2018. Ashish Shah, CIO of Global Credit and Head of Fixed Income at AllianceBernstein is to join GSAM Fixed Income in New York during the summer of 2018 as a partner and head of our global corporate credit team. He will be added to the Fixed Income Strategy Group (“FISG”) when this happens. Ashish will also become deputy CIO of GSAM Fixed Income along with Sam Finkelstein. Whitney Watson, Global Head of Fixed Income Risk Management and Portfolio Construction, Simon Dangoor, Head of the Country Strategy, and Chris Hogan, Co-Head of the global securitized investment team are additional members of the FISG. Phillip Moffitt, Head of Fixed Income in Asia Pacific and CEO of GSAM Australia and New Zealand, has decided to step down from the FISG but will continue to focus on key clients in Asia.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

A   At the end of March 2018, on a market-value weighted basis, the Fund had overweighted allocations relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in asset-backed securities and, to a much lesser degree, in quasi-government securities and residential mortgage-backed securities. The Fund had underweighted exposures relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in government securities, and, to lesser degrees, in investment grade corporate bonds and covered bonds.

 

    (Covered bonds are debt securities backed by cash flows from mortgage loans or public sector loans.) The Fund had a rather neutrally weighted position relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in emerging markets debt and commercial mortgage-backed securities and had no position in high yield corporate bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund also maintained a position in cash at the end of the Reporting Period.

 

    From a country perspective, on a market-value weighted basis, the Fund was overweight relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in the U.S. and Japan. The Fund was underweight compared to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in the U.K. and the Eurozone overall. Within the Eurozone, the Fund was most underweight Germany and France and rather neutral to the remaining markets at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund was relatively neutrally weighted at the end of the Reporting Period to Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway and Sweden and the emerging markets overall. The Fund had a shorter duration than the Bloomberg 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 reflects 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 Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, Hedged), an unmanaged index, provides a broad based measure of the global investment-grade fixed-rate debt markets and covers the most liquid portion of the global investment grade fixed-rate bond market, including government, credit and collateralized securities. The Index figures do not include 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.

  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 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, Investor and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Gross, USD, Hedged) is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -0.86%, -1.60%, -0.49%, -0.56%, -1.12% and -0.48%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.21% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofAML 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   Within our top-down strategies, our country strategy, wherein we trade based on our analysis of relative value rates across global interest rate markets, detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. One of the primary trades undertaken in this strategy during the Reporting Period was its long Canadian rates versus short U.S. rates position. This trade detracted from results, as there was an abrupt shift to more hawkish rhetoric from the Bank of Canada and two subsequent interest rate hikes during the summer months of 2017, which, in turn, led to a sell-off in Canadian rates. (Hawkish rhetoric tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.)

 

    The Fund’s yield curve positioning was a moderate detractor from results during the Reporting Period. Yield curve indicates the spectrum of maturities within a particular sector.

 

    Conversely, our currency strategy was the best performing top-down strategy during the Reporting Period. Most of the currency strategy’s strong performance can be attributed to the Fund’s exposure to emerging markets in Europe, via long positions in the Polish zloty and Czech koruna. We took these long positions as part of our positive view on the economic growth path of Europe. The Fund’s long position in the South African rand also contributed positively to results.

 

    The Fund’s duration strategy also added value during the Reporting Period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

    Individual issue selection produced mixed results. These strategies reflect any active views we take on particular sectors.

 

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

 

A  

Individual issue selection within the emerging markets debt and municipal bond sectors detracted from the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. Within emerging markets debt, the Fund’s long exposure to Petróleos de Venezuela (“PDVSA”), the Venezuelan state-owned oil and natural gas company, hurt performance most due to ongoing troubles within Venezuela and missed coupon payments on the company’s bonds. The Fund was also structurally underweight China through the use of credit default swap indices, which hurt performance, as emerging markets overall performed well, outpacing the broad fixed income market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. (A credit default swap index is a credit derivative used to hedge credit risk or to take a position on a basket of credit entities. Unlike a credit default swap, which is an over the counter credit derivative, a credit default swap index is a completely standardized credit security and may

therefore be more liquid.) Within the municipal bond sector, the Fund’s exposure to tax-exempt Puerto Rico municipal bonds detracted most. These bonds performed poorly following Governor Ricardo’s initiation of the Commonwealth to enter a Title III restructuring. Market expectations of the negative economic impact from the significant damage caused by Hurricane Maria added to these bonds’ headwinds. (Title III is an in-court debt restructuring process akin to U.S. bankruptcy protection, since Puerto Rico is barred from using Chapter 9 of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code reserved for insolvent public entities. It should be noted that this action was taken on May 3, 2017, well before the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria.)

 

    Conversely, issue selection within the securitized sector added value during the Reporting Period. Most of the performance derived from the Fund’s positions in asset-backed securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. During the Reporting Period, the securitized sector broadly and these securities in particular experienced spread tightening, or a narrowing of the yield differential to U.S. Treasuries, which helped drive their strong performance.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s yield curve positioning detracted moderately from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund was positioned for yield curve steepening in the U.S. and U.K., but there was broad flattening in both of these yield curves during the Reporting Period. (A steepening yield curve is one in which the differential between yields on shorter-term maturities and longer-term maturities widens. A flattening yield curve is one in which the differential between yields on shorter-term maturities and longer-term maturities narrows.)

 

    Further, as mentioned earlier, we positioned the Fund to take advantage of relative value positions across global interest rates, which detracted from results during the Reporting Period.

 

    The Fund’s tactical duration positioning was beneficial to results during the Reporting Period. While we tactically adjusted the Fund’s duration position as market conditions shifted throughout, we kept a short U.S. rates position in the Fund during the Reporting Period, which helped as U.S. Treasury yields pushed higher across most of the spectrum of maturities. We maintained the Fund’s underweight U.S. duration position given our expectations that global economic growth was likely to remain strong and that tightness in the labor market and easy financial conditions would likely warrant further monetary tightening in the U.S. We also expected inflation to rebound somewhat. As these expectations were indeed realized, such Fund positioning added value.

 

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 written options contracts and 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.

 

   

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 detracted from the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. The use of a credit default swap index to gain exposure to emerging markets debt, as already mentioned, detracted as well. The duration strategy, implemented through derivatives

as described above, contributed positively to Fund performance during the Reporting Period. The currency strategy, implemented primarily through the use of currency forwards, also contributed positively to 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 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. Most risk was allocated across the Fund’s top-down, or macro, currency and country strategies with the balance allocated across our sector strategies.

 

    In our macro strategies, we positioned the Fund to be short U.S. interest rates, as we believed the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) was poised to hike interest rates multiple times in 2018. From a currency perspective, we continued to favor emerging markets over developed markets. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund maintained long positions in the Indonesian rupiah, Argentine peso and South African rand, to name a few.

 

    From a sector perspective, we continued to favor the securitized sectors over traditional corporate credit given our view that the U.S. credit cycle is in its late stages. The Fund’s long exposure to credit was mostly in asset-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations at the end of the Reporting Period, with modest exposure to mortgage-backed securities. The Fund owned select individual corporate bonds, however, we expressed an outright short position through credit default swap indices in both investment grade and high yield. Within the emerging markets debt sector, the Fund owned bonds across select countries, but we maintained a short position through China credit default swaps. In municipals, the Fund owned a small position across Puerto Rico.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned at the end of March 2018?

 

A   At the end of March 2018, the Fund had the majority of its total net assets invested in collateralized loan obligations, followed by emerging markets debt, asset-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. The Fund also had more modest exposures at the end of the Reporting Period to high yield corporate bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, U.S. inflation-linked securities, corporate bank loans, equities, quasi-government securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Fund had a significant position in cash and had no exposure to municipal bonds at the end of the Reporting Period.

 

    At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s largest duration position was its short duration position in the U.S. The Fund also had a short duration position in the U.K, a rather neutral duration position in Japan, and long duration positions in Europe and Canada.

  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 ICE BofAML U.S. Dollar 3-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 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.

  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 and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (1% if redeemed within 12 months of purchase). Because Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 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. 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.

  8    “Agency Debentures” include agency securities offered by companies such as FNMA and FHLMC, which operate under a government charter. While they are required to report to a government regulator, their assets are not explicitly guaranteed by the government and they otherwise operate like any other publicly traded company.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on June 30, 2010 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar Three-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

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 multiplied by the price change of the reference security, converted to U.S. Dollars).
  *   There are no upfront payments on the swap contracts, therefore the unrealized gain (loss) on the swap contracts is equal to their value.

(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 March 31, 2018. 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)

  Variable rate security. Except for floating rate notes (for which final maturity is disclosed), maturity date disclosed is the next interest reset date. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on March 31, 2018.

(c)

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

(d)

  Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, such securities may be deemed liquid by the Investment Adviser and may be resold, normally to qualified institutional buyers in transactions exempt from registration. Market value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $1,584,793,151, which represents approximately 34.2% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2018. The liquidity determination is unaudited.

(e)

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

(f)

  Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this portfolio security; i.e. Level 3.

(g)

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

(h)

  Coupon changes periodically based upon a predetermined schedule. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on March 31, 2018.

(i)

  Actual maturity date is June 28, 2117.

(j)

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

(k)

  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 $64,216,133, which represents approximately 1.4% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2018.

  (a)   Calculated based on the average shares outstanding methodology.
  (b)   Assumes investment at the NAV at the beginning of the year, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, a complete redemption of the investment at the NAV at the end of the year and no sales or redemption charges. Total returns would be reduced if a sales or redemption charge was taken into account.

  (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)   Effective August 15, 2017, Class IR changed its name to Investor.
  (e)   Rounds to less than $0.01 per share.
  (f)   Annualized.

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

Bond and Core Fixed Income

    

A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor, R and R6

   Diversified

Global Income

    

A, C, Institutional, Service, Investor and R6

   Non-diversified

Strategic Income

    

A, C, Institutional, Investor, R and R6

   Diversified

Class A Shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75%. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R, and Class R6 Shares are not subject to a sales charge. Prior to August 15, 2017, the Investor Shares were known as Class IR Shares.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to each of the Bond, Core Fixed Income and Strategic Income Funds pursuant to management agreements with the Trust. Goldman Sachs Asset Management International (“GSAMI”), an affiliate of GSAM and Goldman Sachs, serves as investment adviser pursuant to a management agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Global Income Fund (the management agreements with GSAM and GSAMI are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements”).

 

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, and securities lending income, if any. 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

C.  Class Allocations and Expenses — Investment income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), if any, 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, each Fund is 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:

 

Fund         Income Distributions
Declared/Paid
   Capital Gains Distributions
Declared/Paid

Bond

       Daily/Monthly    Annually

Core Fixed Income

       Daily/Monthly    Annually

Global Income

       Daily/Monthly    Annually

Strategic Income*

       Monthly/Monthly    Annually

 

*   Prior to May 1, 2017, the Fund’s distributions from net investment income were declared daily and paid monthly.

Net capital losses, if any, 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.

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 translation. 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

 

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. 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 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’ investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, GSAM and GSAMI regularly perform price verification procedures and issue challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.

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

Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations supplied by dealers or an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider: (i) yield or price with respect to bonds that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date or (ii) quotations from securities dealers to determine current value. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit deterioration are valued using available market quotations as provided by a third party pricing vendor or broker. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, 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.  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

 

122


GOLDMAN SACHS MULTI SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

special purpose entity that is organized to issue the commercial paper and to purchase trade receivables or other financial assets.

iii.  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

iv.  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.

v.  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

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

vii.  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.

viii.  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

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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. 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.  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 exchange 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, 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.

iii.  Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.

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 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.

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 a Fund subject to the Fund’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest), under the terms of an MRA. The gross value of reverse repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

When a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it 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 a 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 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 for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

(a)   Amounts are disclosed by continent to highlight the impact of time zone differences between local market close and the calculation of net asset value. Security valuations are based on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded, which may differ from country of domicile. The Funds utilize fair value model prices provided by an independent fair value service for international equity securities, resulting in a Level 2 classification.
(b)   Amount shown represents unrealized gain (loss) at period end.

Transfers of the above instruments into or out of Level 3 can be attributable to changes in the availability of valid pricing sources or in the observability of significant inputs used to measure the fair value of those instruments.

The following tables set forth, by certain risk types, the gross value of derivative contracts (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) as of March 31, 2018. These instruments were used as part of the Funds’ investment strategies and to obtain and/or manage exposure related to the risks below. The values in the tables below exclude the effects of cash collateral received or posted pursuant to these derivative contracts, and therefore are not representative of the Funds’ net exposure.

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.

D.  Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Service Plan and/or Shareholder Administration Plans to allow Class C and Service Shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and/or shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.

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, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares; and 0.04% of the average daily net assets of Institutional and Service Shares. Prior to July 28, 2017, the transfer agency fee rate was 0.02% for Class R6 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, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least July 28, 2018, 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 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.

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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.

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 options contracts, foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions and bank loans.

In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from difference in the tax treatment of swaps, return of capital, paydown gains and losses, inflation protected securities, foreign currency transactions, dividend redesignation, expired capital loss carryforwards, consent fee and bank loans.

7. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

GSAM and GSAMI have reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current 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 — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, 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. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from 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. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. 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 — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund 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 Risk — If a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were less focused, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that country or region, such as: adverse securities markets; adverse exchange rates; adverse social, political, regulatory, economic, business, environmental or other developments; or natural disasters.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Funds 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. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

March 31, 2018

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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.

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 a Fund more volatile. When a Fund uses leverage, the sum of that Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the 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 its 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 the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.

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.

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 a 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

 

142

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

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, 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 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.

Sector Risk — To the extent a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were diversified across different sectors, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that sector, such as: adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other developments.

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 a Fund may purchase for investment. Taking short positions involves leverage of a Fund’s assets and presents various risks, including counterparty risk. 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. To the extent that a Fund uses the proceeds it receives from a short position to take additional long positions, the risks associated with the short position, including leverage risks, may be heightened, because doing so increases the exposure of a Fund to the markets and therefore could magnify changes to the Fund’s NAV.

 

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. OTHER MATTERS   

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS   

Subsequent events after the Statements 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of the Goldman Sachs Bond Fund, the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund, the Goldman Sachs Global Income Fund, and the Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Goldman Sachs Bond Fund, the Goldman Sachs Core Fixed Income Fund, the Goldman Sachs Global Income Fund, and the Goldman Sachs Strategic Income Fund (four of the funds constituting the Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of March 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, 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); 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, Investor, 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 October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, which represents a period of 182 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 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:

 

Fund    Class A     Class C     Institutional     Service     Investor(a)     Class R     Class R6  

Bond

     0.79     1.54     0.45     0.94     0.54     1.04     0.44

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Municipal Fixed Income Funds

 

Market Review

The municipal bond market generated positive returns during the 12 months ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), driven by a flattening municipal bond yield curve and supportive supply and demand dynamics. (Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities. A flattening yield curve means the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities decreased.)

In the first half of the Reporting Period, municipal securities posted gains amid robust market technicals, or supply/demand factors, as the number of bonds that matured, were called or paid coupon income reached record levels. A decrease in new supply also helped the asset class generate positive returns. Performance softened in the fourth quarter of 2017, as states and municipalities rushed new issues to market on concerns that tax reform efforts in Congress would curtail their ability to issue tax-exempt debt and end the tax exemption for advance refunding. (In an advance refunding, a bond issuance is used to pay off another outstanding bond. The new bond will often be issued at a lower interest rate than the older outstanding bond.) Municipal bonds recorded negative returns in the first quarter of 2018, as the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised the federal funds target rate, which pushed up municipal bond yields and drove down their prices.

Shorter-term municipal yields (as represented by two-year maturities) rose during the Reporting Period overall, 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 43 basis points to 1.65%; the yield on a 10-year AAA-rated municipal security increased eight basis points to 2.42%; and the yield on a 30-year AAA-rated municipal security decreased 10 basis points to 2.96%. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) By comparison, the yield on a two-year U.S. Treasury security rose 101 basis points to 2.27%; the yield on a 10-year U.S. Treasury rose 35 basis points to 2.74%; and the yield on a 30-year U.S. Treasury security fell four basis points to 2.97%. (Source: GSAM, MMD and Bloomberg.)

For the Reporting Period overall, supply and demand factors had a positive impact on the municipal bond market in general. Primary market issuance was heavy, with approximately $407 billion of new supply, and demand strengthened. Municipal bond mutual funds saw average investment inflows of $481 million per week during the Reporting Period. (Source: Lipper.)

Proposed U.S. tax reform was a key driver of municipal bond market activity during the Reporting Period. Tax reform legislation, which was passed by Congress and signed into law in December 2017, took effect on January 1, 2018. The tax reform law preserved the tax-exempt benefits of municipal bonds but eliminated the tax exemption for advance refunding bonds. The highest marginal tax rate for individuals was lowered to 37% from 39.6%, while the state and local tax (“SALT”) deduction was capped at $10,000. Corporate tax rates were cut substantially from 35% to 21%.

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 the general obligation and water and sewer sectors, which returned 19.4% and 11.8%, respectively, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index. Because of continued government negotiations with bondholders as

well as natural disasters, Puerto Rico’s municipal bonds significantly trailed 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 supportive, in our view, with supply running well below prior calendar year levels and demand remaining stable. However, we believe Fed monetary policy and potential interest rate hikes could weigh on the municipal bond market in the near term. Regarding tax reform, we expect to see headlines from high tax jurisdictions about how the cap on SALT is affecting their residents and what potential tax policy changes might be employed to lower the tax burden. Meanwhile, we plan to remain watchful for tax reform’s impact overall on housing values and state population migration patterns. States may experience a temporary increase in revenues, we believe, given that some individuals pre-paid a portion of their 2018 taxes in 2017. We anticipate ongoing headlines about state budgets and pension liabilities, Congressional midterm elections and interest rate volatility.

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 Goldman Sachs Municipal Fixed Income Funds invested in the most tax-efficient manner.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (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 Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 3.81%, 3.03%, 4.17%, 3.58% and 4.01%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.19% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-10 Year Blend Index (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

    During the period since their inception on November 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 1.27% compared to the -0.07% cumulative total return of the Index.

 

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. In addition, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning contributed positively to 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   The Fund’s overweight position relative to the Index in Chicago school district general obligation bonds added to its performance. An overweight position in the tobacco sector also proved advantageous. Conversely, the Fund’s overweight compared to the Index in Puerto Rico credits detracted modestly, as the commonwealth’s municipal bonds performed poorly during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning bolstered its relative results. The Fund’s long duration positioning versus that of the Index contributed positively to performance, as the municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period. (A flattening yield curve means the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities decreased.) The Fund was also aided by its yield curve positioning relative to the Index, especially its exposure to the longer-maturity segment of the municipal yield curve, as long-term yields fell.

 

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. The municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period overall, as yields on shorter-term maturity municipal bonds rose more 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 to be their intrinsic value. The Fund also employed U.S. Treasury futures to manage U.S. interest rate duration. To manage against potential changes in interest rates, the Fund used interest rate swap contracts during the Reporting Period overall. Derivatives had a positive 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 increased the Fund’s exposures to general obligation bonds and university bonds. We decreased the Fund’s allocations to pre-refunded, appropriations, tobacco and water and sewer bonds. (Pre-refunding, also known as advance refunding, is a procedure in which a municipality issues a second bond at a lower interest rate and uses the proceeds from the sale of the second bond to invest in “escrow collateral” for the first bond. The escrow collateral is typically in U.S. Treasury securities. Pre-refunded municipal bonds no longer represent the credit risk profile of the original borrower, and given the high credit quality of the escrow collateral, they often increase in value — sometimes significantly.) In addition, during the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s exposure to AAA-rated issues. We decreased its exposures to B-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 Florida and Illinois municipal bonds and underweight in New York and California municipal bonds 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 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 Standard 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 2017 federal income tax rate of 43.4%.

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, Investor Shares, and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-10 Year Blend Index (with distributions reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on capital gains and other taxable distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and may also consider the potential for capital appreciation.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Municipal Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (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 Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 6.10%, 5.30%, 6.29% and 6.26%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.67% average annual 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 Composite is composed 60% of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index (with dividends reinvested) and 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (with dividends reinvested), which generated average annual total returns of 6.03% and 2.66%, respectively, during the Reporting Period.

 

    During the period since their inception on November 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 2.33% compared to the 1.10% cumulative total return of the Index. The components of the High Yield Municipal Composite, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, generated cumulative total returns of 1.89% and -0.08%, respectively, during the same time period.

 

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

 

A   The Fund benefited overall from its sector positioning and bottom-up issue selection. In addition, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning contributed positively to results. (Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities.)

 

    Holdings of longer-maturity securities enhanced the Fund’s returns, as the municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period, meaning the differential between longer-term and shorter-term yields decreased.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund was helped by an overweight position relative to the High Yield Municipal Composite in Chicago school district general obligation bonds. Individual issue selection within the tobacco sector also added to returns as did the Fund’s overweight in the water and sewer sector. Conversely, the Fund’s overweight compared to the High Yield Municipal Composite in Puerto Rico COFINA bonds detracted from performance, as the commonwealth’s municipal bonds performed poorly during the Reporting Period. (COFINA, or Corporación del Fondo de Interés Apremiante, is a Puerto Rico government- owned corporation that issues government bonds and uses other financing mechanisms to pay and refinance the commonwealth’s public debt.)

 

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

 

A   The tactical management of the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning contributed positively to relative performance during the Reporting Period. As municipal yields rose, the Fund’s short duration position versus that of the High Yield Municipal Composite added to performance, especially during the first three months of the Reporting Period. In addition, the Fund was helped by its yield curve positioning relative to the High Yield Municipal Composite, especially its exposure to the longer-maturity segment of the municipal yield curve, as the yield curve flattened.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

 

 

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

 

A   The Fund took a long position in credit default swaps (“CDS”), which means it sold CDS protection, as we sought to capture the upside potential of select securities that were trading below what we considered to be 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 positions on the municipal yield curve. The municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period overall as yields on shorter-term maturity municipal bonds rose more 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 decreased the Fund’s exposure to pre-refunded bonds and to the tobacco sector. (Pre-refunding, also known as advance refunding, is a procedure in which a municipality issues a second bond at a lower interest rate and uses the proceeds from the sale of the second bond to invest in “escrow collateral” for the first bond. The escrow collateral is typically in U.S. Treasury securities. Pre-refunded municipal bonds no longer represent the credit risk profile of the original borrower, and given the high credit quality of the escrow collateral, they often increase in value — sometimes significantly.) In addition, we increased the Fund’s allocation to special assessment and hospital 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 underweight relative to the High Yield Municipal Composite in the tobacco sector. Compared to the High Yield Municipal Composite, the Fund was overweight A-rated and BBB-rated issues and underweight below investment grade credits. In addition, we increased the Fund’s allocation to special assessment bonds and decreased its allocation to water and sewer credits.

  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 2017 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.

  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, Investor 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 60 calendar days or less. The performance figures do not reflect the deduction of the redemption fee. If reflected, the redemption fee would reduce the performance quoted.

 

The 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 HIGH YIELD MUNICIPAL FUND

 

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund Composite Index, which is composed of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (40%) (with distributions reinvested), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations will cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and in their absence, performance would be reduced. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on capital gains and other taxable distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income, consistent with relatively low volatility of principal, 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 Short Duration Tax-Free Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (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 Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.74%, 0.34%, 1.15%, 0.65% and 1.01%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.49% average annual 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.

 

    During the period since their inception on November 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 0.61% compared to the 0.38% cumulative total return of the Index.

 

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

 

A   Sector positioning and bottom-up issue selection enhanced the Fund’s relative returns during the Reporting Period. In addition, holdings of longer maturity securities contributed positively, as the municipal yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period, meaning the differential between longer-term and shorter-term yields decreased. Conversely, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from 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?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s overweight positions relative to the Index in the electric utilities and water and sewer sectors bolstered its performance. Additionally, the Fund’s bias towards BBB-rated bonds added to relative returns, as BBB-rated credits outperformed higher quality credits during the Reporting Period. Meanwhile, the Fund’s investments in Puerto Rico credits detracted from returns, as the commonwealth’s municipal bonds performed poorly 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 duration and yield curve positioning overall hurt relative returns. More specifically, the Fund’s slightly longer duration position relative to that of the Index detracted from performance in the rising interest rate environment. The Fund’s yield curve positioning compared to the Index did not have a meaningful impact on performance.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund took a long position in credit default swaps (“CDS”), which means it sold CDS protection, 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 exposures to special tax and state appropriation credits during the Reporting Period. We increased its exposures to pre-refunded and electric utilities bonds. (Pre-refunding, also known as advance refunding, is a procedure in which a municipality issues a second bond at a lower interest rate and uses the proceeds from the sale of the second bond to invest in “escrow collateral” for the first

bond. The escrow collateral is typically in U.S. Treasury securities. Pre-refunded municipal bonds no longer represent the credit risk profile of the original borrower, and given the high credit quality of the escrow collateral, they often increase in value — sometimes significantly.) In addition, we increased the Fund’s allocation to Texas credits and decreased its exposure to California 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 BBB-rated issues and lower credit quality rated municipal bonds. In addition, the Fund was overweight Illinois credits and underweight AAA-rated issues, AA-rated issues, A-rated issues and California credits 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 Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-3 Year Blend Index (with dividends reinvested), an unmanaged index, represents investment grade municipal bonds with maturities greater than one year and less than 4 years, and 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 Standard 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 2017 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.

Prior to July 29, 2009, the maximum initial sales charge applicable to Class A Shares of the Fund was 2.0%, which is not reflected in the figures shown. Because Institutional, Service, Investor and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

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, and securities lending income, if any. 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.

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), if any, 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, each Fund is 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, if any, 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.

 

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. 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’ 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, 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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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.

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 a Fund’s 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.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

The Trust, on behalf of Service Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act to allow Service Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Service Shares of the Funds, as set forth below.

      Class A*      Class C      Service  

Distribution and/or Service Plan

     0.25      0.75      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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, 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 November 30, 2018. 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, Goldman Sachs advised that it retained the following amounts:

Short Duration Tax-Free

         3,009           

D.  Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans to allow Class C and Service Shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and/or shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C or Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.

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 Investor Shares; 0.03% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 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% and 0.04% as an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Investor Shares of the High Yield Municipal and Short Duration Tax-Free Funds, respectively. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least November 30, 2018, and prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without the approval of the 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, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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 Funds is 0.004%. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least November 30, 2018, 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.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of March 31, 2018, 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. 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.

H.  Other Transactions with Affiliates — As of March 31, 2018, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. was the beneficial owner of the following Funds:

(1)   With the exception of perpetual capital loss carryforwards, expiration occurs on March 31 of the year indicated. The Dynamic Municipal Income and High Yield Municipal Funds had capital loss carryforwards of $2,511,505 and $431,157,569, respectively, which expired in the current fiscal year. The Dynamic Municipal Income and High Yield Municipal Fund utilized $12,558,394 and $48,651,411, respectively, of capital loss carryforward in the current fiscal year.

As of March 31, 2018, the Funds’ aggregate securities unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

           Dynamic Municipal
Income
       High Yield

       Short Duration

       $ 1,764,945,433        $ 5,132,851,022        $ 5,073,146,799

Net unrealized gain (loss)

       $ 6,362,430        $ 189,300,215        $ (28,760,664

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, differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, and market discount accretion and premium amortization.

In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Funds and result primarily from expired capital loss carryforwards, differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, and the recognition of income and gains/losses of certain bonds.

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 — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, 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. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from 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 a Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.

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.

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.

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.

 

124


GOLDMAN SACHS MUNICIPAL FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Tax Risk — The Funds may be adversely impacted by changes in tax rates and policies. Because interest income from Municipal Securities is normally not subject to regular federal income taxation, the attractiveness of Municipal Securities in relation to other investment alternatives is affected by changes in federal and state income tax rates or changes in the tax-exempt status of interest income from Municipal Securities. Any proposed or actual changes in such rates or exempt status, therefore, can significantly affect the demand for and supply, liquidity and marketability of Municipal Securities. This could in turn affect a Fund’s net asset value and ability to acquire and dispose of Municipal Securities at desirable yield and price levels. Additionally, these Funds would not be a suitable investment for IRAs, other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for other investors who are not sensitive to the federal, state or local income tax consequences of their investments.

 

9. INDEMNIFICATIONS

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

 

10. OTHER MATTERS

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

 

11. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Municipal Income Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund, and the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Municipal Income Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund, and the Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund (three of the funds constituting the Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of March 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GOLDMAN SACHS MUNICIPAL FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor 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) and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (with respect to Class C Shares); and redemption fees (with respect to Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor and Class R6 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, Investor and 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 October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, which represents a period of 182 days of a 365 day year. The Class R6 example is based on the period from December 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, which represents a period of 121 out of 365 days. The Class R6 example for hypothetical expenses reflects projected activity for the period from October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.

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.

+   Hypothetical expenses are based on each Fund’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.

 

*   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 March 31, 2018. 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:

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Short Duration and Government Fixed Income Funds

 

Market Review

During the 12 months ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), the performance of the global fixed income markets was driven primarily by improving economic growth around the world, geopolitical events and shifting investor expectations about central bank monetary policy.

When the Reporting Period began with the second quarter of 2017, spread, or non-government bond, sectors generally recorded positive returns. Political developments led to temporary bouts of volatility early in the quarter, driving weakness in Brazilian, U.S. and U.K. fixed income assets as well as a credit rating downgrade of South Africa’s sovereign debt. Political risks receded in May 2017 on the centrist candidate’s victory in the French presidential election, which was supportive of French and European peripheral bonds broadly. On the economic front, U.S. core inflation weakened for the third consecutive month in May 2017, casting uncertainty over the pace of Federal Reserve (“Fed”) monetary tightening. Nonetheless, comments included in minutes from the Fed’s May and June 2017 policy meetings suggested an announcement about how and when the Fed would begin reducing the size of its balance sheet would be made sooner than the markets had previously anticipated. In Europe, economic data continued to surprise to the upside. At its June 2017 policy meeting, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) provided an optimistic assessment of the risks to growth but revised downward its medium-term inflation forecasts. The ECB, Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) and Bank of England (“BoE”) left their respective monetary policies unchanged during the second calendar quarter, while at its June 2017 policy meeting, the Fed raised interest rates for the second time in 2017 and the fourth time since the 2007-2009 global financial crisis. As the quarter came to an end, a string of comments from global central bankers triggered a hawkish market reaction. (Hawkish suggests higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Global interest rates rose as the market anticipated a steeper pace of monetary policy tightening by the BoE, ECB and Bank of Canada (“BoC”). During the second quarter of 2017, the U.S. dollar weakened versus many global currencies.

During the third quarter of 2017, spread sectors broadly advanced. The Fed kept its monetary policy unchanged but unveiled its plans for balance sheet normalization. (Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed will take to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.) This prompted a hawkish market reaction, with the U.S. dollar appreciating and yields on U.S. government bonds rising. However, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, only steepened modestly due to geopolitical uncertainty, mixed U.S. economic data (including weak inflation readings) and because balance sheet normalization had been communicated by policymakers earlier in the calendar year. (A steepening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities widens.) The central banks of other developed countries also set the stage for less accommodative monetary policy. The BoE noted “a majority” of its policymakers were in favor of tightening policy “over the coming months,” while the BoC surprised the markets with two consecutive rate hikes. The market’s expectations for a BoE rate hike in November 2017, along with a constructive tone for Brexit negotiations, also drove the British pound higher versus the U.S. dollar. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to exit the European Union.) Overall, the U.S. dollar continued to weaken relative to many global currencies during the third calendar quarter.

During the fourth calendar quarter, spread sector performance was largely positive, supported by ongoing strength in the global macro environment and contained market, macro and

political volatility. Passage of U.S. tax reform legislation and solid corporate earnings were particularly supportive of U.S. corporate credit. In October 2017, the ECB announced it would reduce its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion for nine months beginning in January 2018, mainly by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. The ECB also said its policy rates would remain low for “an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of the net asset purchases.” During the same month, the BoE reversed an emergency interest rate cut, made in August 2016 following the Brexit referendum, and signaled that future monetary policy tightening would be limited, gradual and dependent on the economic reaction to the U.K.’s eventual departure from the European Union. In December 2017, the Fed delivered its third short-term interest rate hike of 2017. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, indicated that three interest rate increases may be on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. The U.S. dollar weakened further versus many global currencies during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Spread sectors were challenged during the first quarter of 2018, as market volatility surged. Among the catalysts were firmer than consensus expected U.S. wage and price inflation data at the beginning of February, equity market declines and rising concerns about trade tensions in March. The Fed raised short-term interest rates at its March policy meeting and left unchanged its projection for a total of three rate hikes during 2018. Beyond the U.S., monetary policy action was muted in the developed markets during the first calendar quarter, though policymakers in Europe and Japan sounded mildly dovish and those in Norway appeared more hawkish. Economic activity data was strong across the world, with positive growth reported in both emerging markets and developed markets countries, though the pace of above-trend growth moderated somewhat. During the first quarter of 2018, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly versus many global currencies.

For the Reporting Period as a whole, spread sectors outperformed U.S. Treasury securities, led by sovereign emerging markets debt, high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities also outperformed U.S. Treasuries, albeit to a lesser extent. The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened slightly during the Reporting Period, as yields on shorter- and intermediate-term maturities rose more than yields on most longer-term maturities (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point). The yield on the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury rose approximately 35 basis points to end the Reporting Period at 2.74%. Meanwhile, yields on 30-year U.S. Treasury securities edged down approximately five basis points. (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 global economic growth to remain strong, though we believed it would continue at a more moderate pace in the near term than during the Reporting Period. In our view, numerous factors were driving the ongoing global economic expansion, including household consumption, business capital expenditures, industrial production and trade.

Regarding the U.S., the tax reform legislation passed by Congress during December 2017 and the subsequent enactment of a budget agreement that would increase the caps on federal spending during 2018 and 2019 is likely to improve U.S. economic growth, in our opinion. We think the added boost to an already healthy U.S. economy will lower recession risk in the

MARKET REVIEW

 

near term. That said, we believe the fiscal expansion will likely limit the potential effectiveness of future fiscal policy, possibly increasing recession risks in the longer term. As for inflation, we think that tightness in the labor market and broader capacity constraints may well lead to firmer wage and price inflation, though we expect a gradual normalization rather than an acceleration in price increases. Upside inflation surprises, we believe, could spark more frequent bouts of financial market volatility. In Europe and Japan, we expect economic growth to benefit from the momentum generated during 2017 as well as from continued accommodative monetary policy from the ECB and BoJ, respectively. In the emerging markets, tail risk from China has declined, in our view, as the country’s financial deleveraging progress continues, while its economic growth continues to shift toward consumption and services. (Tail risk is a form of portfolio risk that arises when the possibility that an investment will move more than three standard deviations from the mean is greater than what is shown by a normal distribution. Tail risks include events that have a small probability of occurring and occur at the ends of a normal distribution curve.) Elsewhere in the emerging markets, we expect economic growth to be supported by countries recovering from oil shock-induced recessions or benefiting from global economic growth and trade.

Regarding central bank policy, we believe the Fed will likely raise short-term interest rates further in 2018. In our opinion, the ECB is likely to conclude its quantitative easing program by calendar year end. We expect the BoJ to remain on hold in the near term, while modest monetary policy tightening is likely in many other developed markets countries during the next 12 months, in our view.

With regard to U.S. trade policy, we considered its impact on the global economy to be limited at the end of the Reporting Period. In our view, strong protectionist rhetoric has been diluted to relatively restrained, well-orchestrated and targeted actions thus far, and so we see limited near-term macro or market impact. The balance of risks around our optimistic economic growth and benign trade outlook would shift if the scope and magnitude of tariffs were to broaden across countries and sectors, or if the U.S. encountered greater retaliation from China and other affected countries. In this scenario, we believe the macro costs would likely include higher inflation and interest rates as well as slower global economic growth.

FUND RESULTS

 

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (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, Investor and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.86%, 1.09%, 0.95%, 1.11% and 1.21%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.90% average annual 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 ICE BofAML Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (“BofA ML Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index”) and 50% of the ICE BofAML One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index (“BofA ML One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index”), which generated average annual total returns of 1.15% and 0.66%, 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 was the primary driver of positive returns, with selection amongst U.S. Treasuries, short-dated corporate bonds and securitized bonds boosting results, while selection amongst high quality corporate securities and Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) detracting from performance.

 

    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 duration and yield curve positioning strategy also boosted 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.

 

    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   Our individual security selection strategies overall contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Within the government/swaps sector, our selection of short-dated U.S. Treasury swaps proved effective, while selection of TIPS detracted. Within the corporate bond sector, individual selection of short-dated corporate bonds and investment grade financial corporate bonds helped most, with these gains slightly offset by our bias to higher quality corporate bonds, which detracted. Within the securitized sector, selection amongst asset-backed securities added the most value.

 

    Overall, our cross-sector strategy 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 with spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, tightening on improving U.S. economic data and rising consumer confidence. These gains were slightly offset by the Fund’s exposure to U.S. Treasury swaps, which detracted.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

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 contributed positively to Fund performance during the Reporting Period, largely due to tactical U.S. duration positioning. Overall, we maintained the Fund’s underweight U.S. duration position relative to that of the Enhanced Income Composite given our belief that global economic growth is likely to remain strong and that tightness in the labor market and easy financial conditions may warrant further monetary tightening in the U.S.

 

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.) 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   We decreased the Fund’s exposures to industrials-related corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, U.S. Treasuries and agency debentures and increased its position in cash during the Reporting Period. Additionally, while the Fund’s overall duration positioning remained the same through the Reporting Period, we did make adjustments in weightings along the U.S. Treasury yield curve as market conditions changed. More specifically, we decreased the Fund’s underweight along the one-year and five-year segments of the U.S. Treasury yield curve; reduced its overweight to the three-month segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve; and moved from an underweight to an overweight position along the two-year and three-year segments of the U.S. Treasury yield curve.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

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, asset-backed securities and quasi-government securities. The Fund maintained an underweighted exposure to government bonds at the end of the Reporting Period. The Fund also had a significant position in cash 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 expect the Fed to further tighten monetary policy in 2018 should economic growth continue to improve.

  3    The BofA ML Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures the performance of Treasury Bills 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.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund Composite Index, which is comprised of the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch One-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index (50%), and the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (50%), is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Administration, Investor and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

FUND RESULTS

 

Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income, consistent with safety of principal.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.01%, -0.74%, 0.35%, -0.16%, 0.26%, -0.18% and 0.43%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.58% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Mortgage Index (the “Bloomberg 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 cross-sector strategy overall contributed positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, though positioning within the mortgage-backed securities sector detracted. 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 strategy contributed positively to 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 overall also contributed positively, although selection amongst mortgage-backed securities detracted.

 

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

 

A   Within our cross-sector strategy, the Fund’s underweight exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index detracted from performance during the Reporting Period. A low volatility environment, coupled with strong demand from banks and overseas investors, boosted the sector’s positive performance, and thus the Fund’s underweight position hurt. This trend began to reverse in the early months of 2018 when heightened market volatility and reduced demand from banks and from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) led to underperformance of mortgage-backed securities relative to duration-neutral U.S. Treasuries. Fund results were also dampened modestly by having an exposure to Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), especially in April 2017 when markets were surprised by three consecutive unexpectedly weak core inflation data releases, which caused breakeven rates to tighten. (Breakeven inflation is the difference between the nominal yield on a fixed rate investment and the real yield on an inflation-linked investment of similar maturity and credit quality.) On the positive side, overweights to asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities added value as did a tactical allocation to agency debentures.

 

   

Individual issue selection among agency mortgage-backed securities detracted most from the Fund’s relative results. An emphasis on higher coupon agency mortgage-backed securities hurt amid an environment of lower mortgage rates, a flatter yield curve and subdued interest rate volatility. (A flatter yield curve is one in which the yield differential between shorter-term and longer-term maturities narrows.) It is worth noting, however, that this positioning proved

beneficial in the early months of 2018 when volatility heightened and interest rates further increased. Partially offsetting this detractor was individual issue selection of Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) asset-backed securities, which contributed positively.

 

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 positioning contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The Fund maintained a shorter duration than that of the Bloomberg Barclays Index throughout the Reporting Period due to strong economic data, especially labor market and inflation data, coupled with our anticipation of tightening action from the Fed. We even shifted to a more significantly shorter duration relative to that of the Bloomberg Barclays Index toward the end of the Reporting Period in anticipation of further interest rate increases by the Fed as 2018 progresses.

 

    The Fund’s yield curve positioning also contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period, as yields at the short-term end of the curve, or spectrum of maturities, rose in response to Fed policy tightening. While yields on 10-year U.S. Treasuries also rose, they were kept somewhat anchored overall by low yields on government bonds in developed markets outside of the U.S., by geopolitical tensions and by demand from pension funds.

 

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 used forward contracts to help manage duration. Derivatives generally dampened 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   During the Reporting Period, we moved to a greater underweight in the Fund’s allocation to agency mortgage-backed securities, as we expected spreads, or yield differentials to duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries, to widen in response to the tapering of agency mortgage-backed securities reinvestments by the Fed, increased interest rate volatility and seasonal spikes in supply of mortgage-backed securities. Conversely, we gradually increased the Fund’s overweight relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in asset-backed securities, particularly FFELP asset-backed securities, as we favored what we saw as their strong credit protection and attractive spreads. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, 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 March 2018?

 

A   At the end of March 2018, the Fund had overweighted allocations relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index on a market-value weighted basis in asset-backed securities and in quasi-government securities such as agency debentures. The Fund was underweight relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Index in U.S. Treasury securities and in residential mortgage-backed securities, specifically pass-through mortgage-backed securities. The Fund had modest exposures to commercial mortgage-backed securities and to TIPS, which are not components of the Bloomberg Barclays Index. The Fund had a shorter duration than that of the Bloomberg Barclays Index at the end of the Reporting Period.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (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, Investor and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 1.32%, 1.67%, 1.05%, 1.58% and 1.56%, respectively. These returns compare to the 1.11% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofAML 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   Bottom-up individual issue selection overall added value. 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 also contributed positively, albeit modestly, to 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.

 

    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. Agency mortgage-backed securities significantly outperformed duration-neutral U.S. Treasuries, especially during the third quarter of 2017, due to multi-decade low volatility coupled with 10-year U.S. Treasury yields selling off substantially. Strong demand, specifically from mortgage real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), also helped the mortgage- backed securities sector, as spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, tightened. The Fund’s exposure to collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and asset-backed securities also proved beneficial to relative results during the Reporting Period. These gains were slightly offset by the Fund’s exposure to U.S. Treasury swaps, which detracted.

 

    Overall, individual security selection contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. Individual issue selection of U.S. Treasuries within the government/swaps sector was additive to relative results during the Reporting Period, while selection of Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) detracted. Within the securitized sector, selection of asset-backed securities added value, while selection of CLOs detracted.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

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 contributed positively, albeit modestly, to Fund performance during the Reporting Period, largely due to tactical U.S. duration positioning. Overall, we maintained the Fund’s underweight U.S. duration position relative to that of the BofA ML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index given our belief that global economic growth is likely to remain strong and that tightness in the labor market and easy financial conditions may warrant further monetary tightening in the U.S.

 

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   We decreased the Fund’s exposure to U.S. Treasuries and modestly reduced exposure to agency collateralized mortgage obligations during the Reporting Period. We increased the Fund’s exposure to asset-backed securities. Additionally, while the Fund’s overall duration positioning remained the same through the Reporting Period, we did make adjustments in weightings along the U.S. Treasury yield curve as market conditions changed.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

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 ICE BofA ML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill 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 expect the Fed to further tighten monetary policy in 2018 should economic growth continue to improve.

  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 ICE BofA ML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, an unmanaged 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, and 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.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s current benchmark, the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Service, Investor and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 0.31%, -0.42%, 0.64%, 0.55%, 0.09% and 0.75%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.92% average annual 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   The Fund’s duration strategy detracted most 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, also detracted from Fund performance during the Reporting Period.

 

      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 cross-sector strategy also contributed positively to 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 selection of TIPS with a maturity of greater than seven years, especially in the second and fourth quarters of 2017. Selection of specific-issue TIPS and inflation swaps also aided Fund results during the Reporting Period. These gains were partially offset by selection of TIPS with a maturity of less than seven years, which detracted, especially in the second quarter of 2017.

 

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 modestly detracted from its relative results during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s shorter duration than that of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index hurt, as longer-term U.S. rates rallied, mainly in April 2017, on the back of receding inflation expectations in spite of positive economic data. However, the Fund’s shorter duration stance modestly aided performance in the third calendar quarter, specifically in September 2017 when longer-term U.S. rates moved higher. The Fund’s shorter duration stance then detracted again when U.S. Treasury yields rallied toward the end of March 2018 on elevated market volatility and concerns around tariffs and potential trade wars. We maintained the Fund’s duration position at the end of the Reporting Period, as we expected further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) as 2018 progresses.

 

23


FUND RESULTS

 

      Yield curve positioning detracted as well during the Reporting Period. Such results were primarily a result of yield curve steepeners in the Fund, held via interest rate swaps and swap options. (A steepening yield curve is one in which the differential in yields between shorter-term and longer-term maturities widens; opposite of flattening.) This positioning hurt as the yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period, as short-term yields rose in conjunction with the Fed raising interest rates and long-term yields were anchored by still-low global interest rates, such as those seen in Europe and Japan.

 

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 and options 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.) Inflation-linked swaps were used to help grant us greater precision and versatility in the management of active strategies.

 

      The use of derivatives to manage interest rate risk and to express views on the yield curve detracted from performance. The use of inflation-linked swaps — from a bottom-up security selection perspective — 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. More specifically, we reduced the Fund’s overweight position in TIPS with a maturity of less than seven years, while concurrently increasing the Fund’s position — by reducing its underweight — in TIPS with a maturity of greater than seven years. By the end of the Reporting Period, we had reduced the Fund’s overall exposure to TIPS given the widening in breakeven inflation rates during much of the Reporting Period. For the Reporting Period overall, 10-year breakeven inflation rates were wider given positive inflation data, strong economic outlook, rallying oil prices and retail demand for TIPS assets. The passage of the U.S. tax reform bill by Congress in late December 2017 also drove inflation breakeven rates wider. (Breakeven inflation is the difference between the nominal yield on a fixed rate investment and the real yield on an inflation-linked investment of similar maturity and credit quality.)

 

      We modestly shifted the Fund’s duration positioning during the Reporting Period as market conditions changed. We shortened the Fund’s already shorter duration stance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index during the second quarter of 2017, though we moderated this positioning slightly as longer U.S. Treasury rates rallied mainly in April 2017 on the back of receding inflation expectations in spite of positive economic data. We again shortened the Fund’s relative duration in early 2018, as we expected the Fed to raise interest rates several times as the calendar year progresses amid strong labor market data and improving inflationary data.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

A   At the end of March 2018, the Fund had most of its total net assets invested in TIPS, with the remainder in cash. Within the Fund’s TIPS allocation, we maintained an underweight to the short, i.e. seven years and less, end of the TIPS rate curve and an overweight to TIPS with a maturity of greater than seven years, as measured on a market value basis. The Fund had a shorter duration than that of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index at the end of the Reporting Period with our belief for further tightening action from the Fed in 2018.

 

     

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected global economic growth to remain strong as the synchronized global expansion continued. That said, recent data leads us to think the pace of above-trend growth may moderate. In our view, U.S. fiscal expansion is likely to further elongate the current economic and credit cycles but may pose risks over the medium- to long-term. In turn, we believe a gradual normalization in inflation is likely given labor market tightness and capacity constraints, with unemployment rates moving below estimates of the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment and output gaps moving close to zero or further into positive territory. (The non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment is the specific level of unemployment that is evident in an economy that does not cause inflation to increase. It often represents equilibrium between the state of the economy and the labor market. The output gap is an economic measure of the difference between the actual output, or growth, of an economy and its potential growth or output.) In the U.S., we think inflation will be in excess of

2% year-over-year in 2018, given the weakness experienced in 2017. We also expect firmer inflation in other developed markets, including Sweden. In contrast, we think inflation may remain muted in Europe and Japan given, among other factors, economic slack still present in those regions. We believe potential headwinds may come from execution risk on the part of the current Administration regarding trade policy and the potentially consequential effects of such on monetary policies.

 

      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.

  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. 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. The Fund invests in US TIPS bonds and similar inflation protected securities, and the 30-Day Standardized Yield of the Fund, as quoted above, includes the positive or negative income effect on those bonds of changes in the rate of inflation. When inflation factors increase, we expect the Fund’s 30-Day Standardized Yield to be higher than if the effects of inflation were excluded, and when the inflation factors decrease, we expect the Fund’s 30-Day Standardized Yield to be lower than if the effects of inflation were excluded. Relatively small changes in the rate of inflation can have significant positive or negative impacts on the 30-Day Standardized Yield of the Fund. To the extent the Yield shown above includes the positive effect of a rise in inflation, it may not be repeated.

 

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.

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 4.50%, which is not reflected in the figures shown. Because Institutional Shares, Investor Shares, Class R Shares and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -0.22%, -0.53%, 0.11%, -0.29%, 0.13% and 0.12%, respectively. These returns compare to the -0.18% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofAML 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 bottom-up and top-down strategies had an impact on the Fund’s performance during the Reporting Period. Bottom-up individual issue selection was the primary positive contributor to the Fund’s relative results.

 

      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.

 

      The duration and government/swaps selection strategies are primarily implemented via interest rates 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   Individual issue selection as a whole was additive to the Fund’s relative results. Within the government/swaps sector, selection of U.S. Treasuries proved beneficial, while our selection of Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) detracted. Within the securitized sector, selection of mortgage pass-through securities added most to relative returns.

 

      Sector positioning contributed positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period. The majority of outperformance came from exposure to agency mortgage- backed securities. Agency mortgage-backed securities significantly outperformed duration-neutral U.S. Treasuries, especially during the third calendar quarter, due to multi- decade low volatility coupled with 10-year U.S. Treasury yields selling off substantially. Strong demand, specifically from mortgage real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), also helped the mortgage-backed securities sector, as spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, tightened. These gains were slightly offset by the Fund’s exposure to U.S. Treasury swaps, which detracted from Fund performance.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

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. We maintained the Fund’s underweight U.S. duration position relative to that of the BofA ML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index given our belief that global economic growth is likely to remain strong and that tightness in the labor market and easy financial conditions may warrant further monetary tightening in the U.S.

 

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

 

A   The Fund used Treasury futures as well as 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   We decreased the Fund’s exposure to U.S. Treasury securities during the Reporting Period and modestly reduced its position in cash. Additionally, while the Fund’s overall duration positioning remained the same through the Reporting Period, we did make adjustments in weightings along the U.S. Treasury yield curve as market conditions changed. More specifically, we reduced the Fund’s overweight to the seven-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve; increased its underweight to the five-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve; and moved from an underweight to an overweight in the six-month segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

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 and mortgage pass-through 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 Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index at the end of the Reporting Period, as we expect the Fed to further tighten monetary policy in 2018 should economic growth continue to improve.

  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 two-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 two-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, an unmanaged 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.

They assume reinvestment of all distributions at NAV. These returns reflect a maximum initial sales charge of 1.5% for Class A Shares and the assumed contingent deferred sales charge for Class C Shares (0.65% 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 2.0%, which is not reflected in the figures shown. Because Institutional Shares, Service Shares, Investor Shares and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -0.19%, -0.48%, 0.16%, 0.06%, -0.43% and 0.13%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.35% average annual 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 average annual total returns of 0.80% and -0.09%, 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 country strategy detracted most from the Fund’s relative results, with performance driven by an overweight position in Canadian rates versus U.S. rates, attributable primarily to the third quarter of 2017 when the Bank of Canada took the markets by surprise with two consecutive interest rate hikes. This detractor was partially offset by an overweight position in European rates versus U.K. rates, which contributed positively. We established this positioning based on our view that inflation in the Eurozone may well disappoint, as the Bank of England is widely expected to tighten its monetary policy later in 2018.

 

    Conversely, our currency strategy contributed positively overall, with the Fund’s overweight positions in Central Eastern European and Scandinavian currencies, such as the Czech koruna, Polish zloty, Hungarian forint and Swedish
    krona, versus the euro performing well. These gains were partially offset by the Fund’s exposure to European currency forwards, which detracted. 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. Our duration and yield curve positioning strategy also added value to Fund performance 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.

 

    Bottom-up individual issue selection overall was a positive contributor to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period as well.

 

    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 most positively to the Fund’s results during the Reporting Period, with exposure to collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), asset-backed securities, high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds performing best. Exposure to emerging markets debt detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period.

 

     

Overall, security selection contributed positively to relative results as well. Within the government/swaps sector, selection of U.S. Treasuries proved effective, while selection of Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) detracted. Within the securitized sector, selection of mortgage

pass-through securities and asset-backed securities contributed positively, while selection of CLOs dampened relative results. Selection of tax-exempt Puerto Rico municipal bonds detracted from returns following Governor Ricardo’s initiation of the Commonwealth to enter a Title III restructuring. Market expectations of the negative economic impact from Hurricane Maria added to these bonds’ headwinds. (Title III is an in-court debt restructuring process akin to U.S. bankruptcy protection, since Puerto Rico is barred from using Chapter 9 of the U.S. federal bankruptcy code reserved for insolvent public entities. It should be noted that this action was taken on May 3, 2017, well before the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria.)

 

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 contributed positively to Fund performance during the Reporting Period, largely due to tactical U.S. duration positioning. Overall, we maintained the Fund’s underweight U.S. duration position relative to that of the Short Duration Income Composite given our belief that global economic growth is likely to remain strong and that tightness in the labor market and easy financial conditions may warrant further monetary tightening in the U.S.

 

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

 

A   The Fund used Treasury futures, Eurodollar futures as well as 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. Additionally, the Fund used currency forwards to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exposure and increase total return. Derivatives had a negative 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   We decreased the Fund’s exposure to U.S. Treasuries and increased its exposures to emerging markets debt, industrials-related investment grade corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities during the Reporting Period. Additionally, we shifted the Fund’s duration from shorter than the Short Duration Income Composite to a stance longer than that of the Short Duration Income Composite from mid-June 2017 to mid-September 2017 before returning to an overall shorter duration position. We also made adjustments in weightings along the U.S. Treasury yield curve as market conditions changed. More specifically, we reduced the Fund’s overweight to the two-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve; reduced its underweights to the five-year and 20-year segments of the U.S. Treasury yield curve; and moved from an underweight to an overweight in the one-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

A   While the Fund is benchmarked to an equally-balanced composite of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate 1-5 Year Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government 1-5 Year Bond Index, it held a portion of its assets in non-Treasury sectors not represented in the Short Duration Income Composite. Indeed, in addition to investment grade corporate bonds, the Fund maintained exposure to several other high quality spread, or non-Treasury, sectors throughout the Reporting Period, most notably asset-backed securities, mortgage pass-through securities and agency mortgage-backed securities. The Fund also had exposure to high yield corporate bonds, quasi-government bonds and emerging markets debt 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 expected the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to further tighten monetary policy in 2018 should economic growth continue to improve.

The corporate sectors include industrial, utility and finance, for U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Corporate Bond Index, an unmanaged index, does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  4    The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index provides a broad based measure of securities issued by the U.S. government with final maturities ranging from one to five years. This includes public obligations of the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agencies, quasi-federal corporations and corporate or foreign debt guaranteed by the U.S. government. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index, an unmanaged 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.

 

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

Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

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

Below, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Short-Term Conservative Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (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 and Preferred Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 1.04%, 1.40%, 1.24% and 1.40%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.55% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Short- Term Government/Corporate Index (“Bloomberg Barclays Index”), during the same time period. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the ICE BofAML 3-6 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, had an average annual total return of 1.08% during the same time period.

 

    For the period from its inception on November 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 0.43%. This return compares to the 0.41% cumulative total return of the Bloomberg Barclays Index during the same time period. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the ICE BofAML 3-6 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, had a cumulative total return of 0.44% 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 was the main driver 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 also boosted 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 overall were the primary positive contributors to the Fund’s relative results during the Reporting Period. Within the government/swaps sector, selection of short-dated U.S. Treasuries proved most effective. In addition, selection of short-dated corporate bonds, especially within the financials sector, contributed positively. These gains were partially offset by selection amongst high quality corporate bonds, which detracted from Fund performance.

 

    Cross-sector positioning was positive, driven by the Fund’s exposure to the corporate bond sector, as spreads, or yield differentials to U.S. Treasuries, tightened during the Reporting Period. During the first quarter of 2018, however, these gains were slightly reversed, as one- to three-year corporate spreads widened substantially. In addition, the Fund’s exposure to U.S. Treasury swaps detracted from Fund performance.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

 

 

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 contributed positively to Fund performance during the Reporting Period, largely due to tactical U.S. duration positioning. Overall, we maintained the Fund’s underweight U.S. duration position relative to that of the Bloomberg Barclays Index given our belief that global economic growth is likely to remain strong and that tightness in the labor market and easy financial conditions may warrant further monetary tightening in the U.S.

 

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   We increased the Fund’s exposure to commercial paper and certificates of deposit and reduced its exposure to industrials-related investment grade corporate bonds during the Reporting Period. Additionally, while the Fund’s overall duration positioning remained the same through the Reporting Period, we did make adjustments in weightings along the U.S. Treasury yield curve as market conditions changed. More specifically, we increased the Fund’s overweight to the three-month segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve and reduced its underweight to the one-year segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve.

 

Q   How was the Fund positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of March 2018?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund had an emphasis on financials-related investment grade corporate bonds and cash and cash equivalents. Further, the Fund maintained a shorter U.S. duration position than that of the Bloomberg Barclays Index at the end of the Reporting Period, as we expected the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to further tighten monetary policy in 2018 should economic growth continue to improve.

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, and securities lending income, if any. 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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), if any, 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, each Fund is 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:

 

       Investment Income Dividends           Capital Gains Distributions

Net capital losses, if any, 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.

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 translation. 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

 

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. 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’ 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.

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. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally 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.

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.

viii.  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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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.

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.  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 exchange 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, 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.

iii.  Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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.

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 a Fund’s investments may be determined under Valuation Procedures approved by the Trustees.

 

129

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

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 Trust, on behalf of Service Shares of each applicable Fund, has adopted a Service Plan subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act to allow Service Shares to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service Plan provides for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of the average daily net assets attributable to Services Shares of the Funds as set forth below.

This arrangement will remain in effect through at least November 30, 2018, 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), administration fees (as applicable), taxes, interest, brokerage fees, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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.

G.  Line of Credit Facility — As of March 31, 2018, 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. 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.

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 and options contracts, net mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, premium amortization and the accretion of market discount.

In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and result primarily from dividend redesignations, expired capital loss carryforwards, and differences in the tax treatment of swap transactions, paydown gains and losses, inflation protected securities, foreign currency 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 — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, 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. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from 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 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. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

March 31, 2018

 

8. OTHER RISKS (continued)

 

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Funds 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. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.

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.

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.

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. OTHER MATTERS

 

March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring amortization to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

 

 

11. 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of March 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GOLDMAN SACHS SHORT DURATION AND GOVERNMENT FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Administration, Preferred, Service, Investor, 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, and Class R 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, Administration, Preferred, Service, Investor, 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 October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, which represents a period of 182 out of 365 days (121 out of 365 days for Class R6 Shares of the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund, which commenced operations on November 30, 2017). The Class R6 Shares example for hypothetical expenses (for the Short-Term Conservative Income Fund) reflects projected activity for the period from October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.

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.

+   Hypothetical expenses are based on each Fund’s actual annualized net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
*   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 March 31, 2018. 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:

MARKET REVIEW

 

Goldman Sachs Single Sector Fixed Income Funds

 

Market Review

During the 12 months ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”), the performance of the global fixed income markets was driven primarily by improving economic growth around the world, geopolitical events and shifting investor expectations about central bank monetary policy.

When the Reporting Period began with the second quarter of 2017, spread, or non-government bond, sectors generally recorded positive returns. Political developments led to temporary bouts of volatility early in the quarter, driving weakness in Brazilian, U.S. and U.K. fixed income assets as well as a credit rating downgrade of South Africa’s sovereign debt. Political risks receded in May 2017 on the centrist candidate’s victory in the French presidential election, which was supportive of French and European peripheral bonds broadly. On the economic front, U.S. core inflation weakened for the third consecutive month in May 2017, casting uncertainty over the pace of Federal Reserve (“Fed”) monetary tightening. Nonetheless, comments included in minutes from the Fed’s May and June 2017 policy meetings suggested an announcement about how and when the Fed would begin reducing the size of its balance sheet would be made sooner than the markets had previously anticipated. In Europe, economic data continued to surprise to the upside. At its June 2017 policy meeting, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) provided an optimistic assessment of the risks to growth but revised downward its medium-term inflation forecasts. The ECB, Bank of Japan (“BoJ”) and Bank of England (“BoE”) left their respective monetary policies unchanged during the second calendar quarter, while at its June 2017 policy meeting, the Fed raised interest rates for the second time in 2017 and the fourth time since the 2007-2009 global financial crisis. As the quarter came to an end, a string of comments from global central bankers triggered a hawkish market reaction. (Hawkish suggests higher interest rates; opposite of dovish.) Global interest rates rose as the market anticipated a steeper pace of monetary policy tightening by the BoE, ECB and Bank of Canada (“BoC”). During the second quarter of 2017, the U.S. dollar weakened versus many global currencies.

During the third quarter of 2017, spread sectors broadly advanced. The Fed kept its monetary policy unchanged but unveiled its plans for balance sheet normalization. (Balance sheet normalization refers to the steps the Fed will take to reverse quantitative easing and remove the substantial monetary accommodation it has provided to the economy since the financial crisis began in 2007.) This prompted a hawkish market reaction, with the U.S. dollar appreciating and yields on U.S. government bonds rising. However, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, only steepened modestly due to geopolitical uncertainty, mixed U.S. economic data (including weak inflation readings) and because balance sheet normalization had been communicated by policymakers earlier in the calendar year. (A steepening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities widens.) The central banks of other developed countries also set the stage for less accommodative monetary policy. The BoE noted “a majority” of its policymakers were in favor of tightening policy “over the coming months,” while the BoC surprised the markets with two consecutive rate hikes. The market’s expectations for a BoE rate hike in November 2017, along with a constructive tone for Brexit negotiations, also drove the British pound higher versus the U.S. dollar. (Brexit refers to the U.K.’s efforts to exit the European Union.) Overall, the U.S. dollar continued to weaken relative to many global currencies during the third calendar quarter.

During the fourth calendar quarter, spread sector performance was largely positive, supported by ongoing strength in the global macro environment and contained market, macro and

MARKET REVIEW

 

political volatility. Passage of U.S. tax reform legislation and solid corporate earnings were particularly supportive of U.S. corporate credit. In October 2017, the ECB announced it would reduce its monthly asset purchases from €60 billion to €30 billion for nine months beginning in January 2018, mainly by purchasing fewer sovereign government bonds. The ECB also said its policy rates would remain low for “an extended period of time, and well past the horizon of the net asset purchases.” During the same month, the BoE reversed an emergency interest rate cut, made in August 2016 following the Brexit referendum, and signaled that future monetary policy tightening would be limited, gradual and dependent on the economic reaction to the U.K.’s eventual departure from the European Union. In December 2017, the Fed delivered its third short-term interest rate hike of 2017. The Fed’s dot plot, which shows rate projections of the members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee, indicated that three interest rate increases may be on tap for 2018 and potentially two more in 2019. The U.S. dollar weakened further versus many global currencies during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Spread sectors were challenged during the first quarter of 2018, as market volatility surged. Among the catalysts were firmer than consensus expected U.S. wage and price inflation data at the beginning of February, equity market declines and rising concerns about trade tensions in March. The Fed raised short-term interest rates at its March policy meeting and left unchanged its projection for a total of three rate hikes during 2018. Beyond the U.S., monetary policy action was muted in the developed markets during the first calendar quarter, though policymakers in Europe and Japan sounded mildly dovish and those in Norway appeared more hawkish. Economic activity data was strong across the world, with positive growth reported in both emerging markets and developed markets countries, though the pace of above-trend growth moderated somewhat. During the first quarter of 2018, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly versus many global currencies.

For the Reporting Period as a whole, spread sectors outperformed U.S. Treasury securities, led by sovereign emerging markets debt, high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities also outperformed U.S. Treasuries, albeit to a lesser extent. The U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened slightly during the Reporting Period, as yields on shorter- and intermediate-term maturities rose more than yields on most longer-term maturities. The yield on the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury rose approximately 35 basis points to end the Reporting Period at 2.74%. Meanwhile, yields on 30-year U.S. Treasury securities edged down approximately five basis points. (A flattening yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows. A basis point is 1/100th of one percent.)

Looking Ahead

At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected global economic growth to remain strong, though we believed it would continue at a more moderate pace in the near term than during the Reporting Period. In our view, numerous factors were driving the ongoing global economic expansion, including household consumption, business capital expenditures, industrial production and trade.

Regarding the U.S., the tax reform legislation passed by Congress during December 2017 and the subsequent enactment of a budget agreement that would increase the caps on federal spending during 2018 and 2019 is likely to improve U.S. economic growth, in our opinion. We think the added boost to an already healthy U.S. economy may lower recession risk in the near term. That said, we believe the fiscal expansion will likely limit the potential

MARKET REVIEW

 

effectiveness of future fiscal policy, possibly increasing recession risks in the longer term. As for inflation, we think that tightness in the labor market and broader capacity constraints may well lead to firmer wage and price inflation, though we expect a gradual normalization rather than an acceleration in price increases. Upside inflation surprises, we believe, could spark more frequent bouts of financial market volatility. In Europe and Japan, we expect economic growth to benefit from the momentum generated during 2017 as well as from continued accommodative monetary policy from the ECB and BoJ, respectively. In the emerging markets, tail risk from China has declined, in our view, as the country’s financial deleveraging progress continues, while its economic growth continues to shift toward consumption and services. (Tail risk is a form of portfolio risk that arises when the possibility that an investment will move more than three standard deviations from the mean is greater than what is shown by a normal distribution. Tail risks include events that have a small probability of occurring and occur at the ends of a normal distribution curve.) Elsewhere in the emerging markets, we expect economic growth to be supported by countries recovering from oil shock-induced recessions or benefiting from global economic growth and trade.

Regarding central bank policy, we believe the Fed will likely raise short-term interest rates further in 2018. In our opinion, the ECB is likely to conclude its quantitative easing program by calendar year end. We expect the BoJ to remain on hold in the near term, while modest monetary policy tightening is likely in many other developed markets countries during the next 12 months, in our view.

With regard to U.S. trade policy, we considered its impact on the global economy to be limited at the end of the Reporting Period. In our view, strong protectionist rhetoric has been diluted to relatively restrained, well-orchestrated and targeted actions thus far, and so we see limited near-term macro or market impact. The balance of risks around our optimistic economic growth and benign trade outlook would shift if the scope and magnitude of tariffs were to broaden across countries and sectors, or if the U.S. encountered greater retaliation from China and other affected countries. In this scenario, we believe the macro costs would likely include higher inflation and interest rates as well as slower global economic growth.

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

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income Investment Management Team discusses the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s (the “Fund”) performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 3.75%, 3.07%, 4.18%, 4.09% and 4.20%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.30% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBISM) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (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   Emerging markets debt overall was influenced most during the Reporting Period by improving global economic growth, investors’ expectations about central bank monetary policy, a softer U.S. dollar and geopolitical events.

 

    External emerging markets debt, as represented by the Index, returned 4.30%. Sovereign spreads (that is, the difference in yields between external emerging markets debt and U.S. Treasuries) tightened by approximately seven basis points and closed the Reporting Period 303 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 Index (in U.S. dollar terms1) were Ghana (+20.13%), Mozambique (+18.70%) and El Salvador (+17.91%). The worst performing countries were Venezuela (-25.87%), Oman (-1.99%) and Bolivia (-0.70%).

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, sector positioning within external emerging markets debt detracted from the Fund’s performance versus the Index. In addition, the Fund was hampered by issue selection among emerging markets corporate debt/quasi-sovereign bonds.

 

    However, the Fund benefited from our active currency management (which is accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts as well as bonds denominated in local currencies). The Fund’s U.S. duration positioning strategy also contributed positively. (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   The Fund was hurt during the Reporting Period by its short position in the euro (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts), through which we funded long positions in various other currencies. The euro strengthened amid strong economic activity and the European Central Bank’s planned tapering of its quantitative easing measures. The Fund was also hindered by an underweight compared to the Index in Chinese external bonds (accomplished via credit default swaps). We implemented the underweight to hedge against any sharp downturn in China’s business cycle, which could be a headwind for the emerging markets overall. Additionally, an overweight in the quasi-sovereign bonds of state-owned oil and natural gas company Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (“PDVSA”) detracted from relative performance. The Fund was overweight PDVSA because we think the company offers significant long-term value. An underweight position overall in sovereign emerging markets debt was also a drag on the Fund’s results.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

    On the positive side, the Fund was helped by long positions in the Czech Republic koruna and Polish zloty (implemented through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts). The Fund has long exposure to Central Eastern European currencies as we think economic activity is improving in Europe, which should support Eastern European economies through trade linkages. An overweight relative to the Index in Ecuador’s external bonds also bolstered Fund performance. We were positive on Ecuador external debt because the government has cut expenditures and is planning tax reforms. In addition, we believe Ecuador’s fiscal balance has improved though not yet enough to stabilize its debt levels.

 

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 U.S. duration positioning strategy added to its performance. More specifically, the Fund benefited from its short duration position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve, as yields generally rose during the Reporting Period. The Fund’s U.S. yield curve positioning did not have a meaningful impact on relative performance during the Reporting Period. (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, Eurodollar futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, structured notes, and reverse repurchase agreements. U.S. Treasury futures were used to manage U.S. interest rate duration. Eurodollar futures were used to express our views on the direction of interest rates and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were used for hedging purposes or to express a positive view on a given currency. Interest rate swaps were used to express our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. Credit default swaps 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. Reverse repurchase agreements were used to manage the Fund’s cash balances. Derivatives may be used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund.

 

    During the Reporting Period, the use of foreign forward currency exchange contracts detracted from the Fund’s performance. More specifically, our use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take short positions in the euro and Argentinian peso had a negative impact on returns. This was offset somewhat by the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to assume long positions in the Czech Republic koruna, Polish zloty and South African rand, which contributed positively. The Fund’s use of interest rate swaps to express our views on Polish local interest rates had a negative impact on returns, while its use of interest rate swaps to gain exposure to Argentinian local interest rates had a positive impact on returns. Overall, the use of interest rates swaps detracted from the Fund’s performance. In addition, we utilized credit default swaps to gain exposure to Chinese external debt, which detracted from 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 overweights relative to the Index in United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) and Turkish external bonds. In our view, the UAE has a low level of debt to Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) of approximately 16.4%. Although we think the country will need to reduce its budget deficit, its sovereign debt should be able to gradually adjust, in our opinion, because of low debt levels and strong liquidity. In addition, improved oil prices have added to the UAE’s current account surplus. Regarding Turkey, we consider its fiscal position to be strong, despite the implementation of quasi-fiscal stimulus measures through a bank loan guarantee program. From our perspective, the Turkish government believes that fiscal policy should be tightened in order to keep inflation below 10%. However, if economic growth drops below 4.5% or unemployment increases, the government is likely to implement fiscal stimulus, in our view. We believe the biggest risk for Turkey is its widening current account deficit, especially as that deficit has been led by consumption rather than investment.

 

   

Also, during the Reporting Period, we shifted the Fund from an overweight to an underweight in Colombian local interest rates, largely because of political risks. The leader of the Polo Democratico political party, who has been doing well in polls, is viewed by the market as a radical leftist. Meanwhile, the current government has kept expenditures contained and has been reducing the country’s deficit. Despite these respectable fundamentals, we thought it was prudent to eliminate the Fund’s exposure. In addition, Colombia has

long-term fiscal issues such as pension and health care expenditures that need to be addressed. Finally, we decreased the size of the Fund’s underweight compared to the Index in Chinese external bonds during the Reporting Period. In our opinion, China’s pace of economic deceleration appears to have moderated, its GDP growth has met market expectations, and the People’s Bank of China is focusing on deleveraging and containing debt growth. The Fund maintains an underweight in Chinese external bonds because we remain mindful of the impact of a sharp downturn in the Chinese business cycle.

 

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 Indonesian, Dominican Republic and Bulgarian external bonds. It was underweight the external bonds of China, the Philippines and Uruguay. The Fund held overweight positions in Brazilian, South African and Argentinian local interest rates. In terms of currencies, the Fund had long positions in the Czech Republic koruna, Polish zloty and Mexican peso. It had short positions in the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar and Taiwanese dollar at the end of the Reporting Period.

 

Q   Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period?

 

A   There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the economic frameworks of emerging markets countries overall were more resilient than they had been in the recent past. Importantly, monetary and fiscal policymakers are in a stronger position to respond to future shocks, in our view, through the implementation of counter-cyclical measures, such as interest rate cuts or increased fiscal spending. On the individual country level, we remained watchful at the end of the Reporting Period for signs that specific emerging markets stories might unravel. We believe China has the greatest potential to cause systemic issues given how its economic growth tends to affect trade channels and commodity prices.

 

    Overall, we favor countries with prudent fiscal management (e.g., where currencies have adjusted for lower oil prices) and/or idiosyncratic opportunities where valuations offer a strong potential risk/reward profile, in our view. On a regional basis, we see more opportunities in Latin America than elsewhere, while we expect returns in Asia to lag, largely because of stretched valuations and concerns about potential deleveraging in China that may result in slower than anticipated economic growth across the region. We believe the busy election calendar in 2018 should also present the Fund with opportunities to outperform, given our focus on relative value country selection.

 

    At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a constructive view on Indonesia, which could benefit, in our view, from fiscal improvements due to a reduction in a fuel subsidy. The country has a modest debt to GDP ratio of 27%, and approximately 40% of its outstanding debt is denominated in foreign currency and is long-term debt. We believe this helps to minimize refinancing risk. We also have a favorable view on Argentina and consider the current political backdrop there as conducive for business-friendly reforms. In addition, we think that recent pension reform and a fiscal pact with local provinces have increased the Argentinian government’s ability to comply with fiscal targets in the long term. Elsewhere, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were cautious on Poland, where the Fund held an underweight position based on valuations and because we see potential for fiscal slippage. (Fiscal slippage means that a government’s planned annual budget does not match actual spending because of something that effects the tax dollars collected.) Additionally, we plan to maintain the Fund’s underweight positions compared to the Index in several small Asian economies, such as the Philippines where the current account has deteriorated over the last couple of years, making it more vulnerable, in our view, to the whims of international capital flows. In terms of local emerging markets debt, the Fund was overweight South Africa and Peru at the end of the Reporting Period. In our opinion, South Africa’s macro fundamentals have improved in recent years, with the country’s current account deficit narrowing from 6% of GDP to 2.3% and its fiscal deficit falling from 2.5% of GDP to less than 1%. South Africa’s political environment has also improved, in our opinion. We favor Peru because we expect monetary policy easing, which should help support the country’s economy, and because of what we see as improvements in its trade balance.

  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 J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBISM) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) is an unmanaged index of debt instruments of 50 emerging countries. 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.

 

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.

  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, Investor 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.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 1.37%, 0.64%, 1.72%, 1.20%, 1.65%, 1.13% and 1.74%, respectively. These returns compare to the 3.78% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 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 second quarter of 2017, when the Reporting Period began, high yield corporate bonds generated positive returns, with reports of strong first calendar quarter corporate earnings and light primary market issuance supporting the asset class during April and May 2017. In June, a decline in commodity prices and increased interest rate volatility weighed on investor sentiment. During the third quarter of 2017, high yield corporate bonds produced additional gains. A sharp climb in crude oil prices and a strong earnings season led to price appreciation during July 2017, while a positive macro environment and optimism about the Republican leadership’s proposal for U.S. tax reform lifted high yield corporate bond prices in September. Performance in August 2017 was relatively flat. In the fourth quarter of 2017, high yield corporate bonds delivered strong performance, with returns in October and December outweighing November weakness that was centered in the telecommunications and cable segments. In the first quarter of 2018, high yield corporate bonds generated slightly negative returns, posting the sector’s worst quarter since 2015. Volatility across the financial markets, slightly softer global economic growth, steep losses among information technology stocks and escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China dampened investor risk sentiment.

 

      For the Reporting Period overall, the high yield corporate bond market recorded a positive return, with lower quality C-rated and D-rated credits generally outperforming higher quality B-rated credits. Option adjusted spreads narrowed approximately 29 basis points, ending the Reporting Period at 354 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 underperformed high yield loans, as represented by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.

 

      In terms of issuance, approximately $328 billion of new high yield corporate bonds were priced during calendar year 2017 and approximately $73 billion were priced during the first quarter of 2018. Refinancing was the primary use of the proceed during both time periods. With regard to demand, high yield corporate bond mutual funds experienced approximately $20 billion of investment outflows during calendar year 2017. In the first quarter of 2018, approximately $13 billion of investment inflows came into high yield corporate bond mutual funds.1

 

      The default rate for high yield corporate bonds rose during the Reporting Period, though it remained below the historical average. The 12-month par-weighted default high yield corporate bond rate through March 31, 2018 was 2.21%.2

 

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 sector positioning and our individual issue selection. Duration and

yield curve positioning also detracted modestly from relative performance. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Yield curve indicates a spectrum of maturities.) In addition, the Fund’s higher credit quality positioning relative to the Index weighed on results.

 

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

 

A   Within its sector positioning, the Fund was hampered during the Reporting Period by overweights compared to the Index in telecommunications (cellular and non-cellular), media (cable and satellite TV) and energy. This was offset somewhat by underweight positions in retailing (food and drug as well as apparel) and consumer products along with an overweight in metals and mining. Exposure to high yield loans also dampened Fund performance. Cash holdings and modestly short market beta positioning (that is, the Fund’s broad underweight relative to the Index in riskier securities; opposite of long market beta positioning) further hindered relative returns, as high yield corporate bonds posted gains during the Reporting Period.

 

      From an individual issue selection perspective, overweight positions in U.S. energy companies Chaparral Energy, Whiting Petroleum and Berry Petroleum detracted from relative performance. An overweight in Wind Tre, an Italian telecommunications company, also hurt results. Conversely, the Fund was helped by overweight positions in Italy-based Telecom Italia, U.S.-based Frontier Communications and Jamaica-based Digicel — all telecommunications companies. Additionally, an overweight in Canada-based Valeant Pharmaceuticals contributed positively.

 

      The Fund’s higher credit quality bias detracted from its relative returns during the Reporting Period. More specifically, the Fund was hindered by its underweight in CCC- rated credits as well as by select holdings of B-rated credits. These results were offset somewhat by an underweight position in B-rated credits, which added value.

 

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 overall duration and yield curve positioning detracted slightly from relative performance. In particular, the Fund’s short duration position compared to that of the Index was a modest drag on results. 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 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. Derivatives may be used in combination with cash securities to implement our views in the Fund. Overall, the use of derivatives 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   We shifted the Fund from long market beta positioning to modestly short market beta positioning and then moved it to modestly long market beta positioning by the end of the Reporting Period. From a segment perspective, we changed the Fund’s overweight positions relative to the Index in non-cellular telecommunications and non-cable media to neutral positions. We reduced the Fund’s energy holdings and, based on our evaluation of potential risks, took a neutral position in the segment. Also, during the Reporting Period, we shifted the Fund from underweight positions compared to the Index in electric utilities and commercial services to neutral positions. We moved the Fund from neutral positions in finance and packaging to underweight positions. In addition, we increased the Fund’s allocations to gaming and lodging and cable and satellite TV so that it held overweight positions in those segments 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 the telecommunications sector broadly. In our view, the Fund’s investments in telecommunications have robust fundamentals and are likely

to be supported by a number of sector-specific trends, including growing bandwidth/data demand and the increasing number of connected devices. In addition, we maintained a Fund underweight in the consumer non-cyclical sector at the end of the Reporting Period. Within the sector, the Fund was underweight consumer products because of what we consider poor relative valuations, and it was underweight supermarkets because of the increasing threat of online and big box retailers. In the consumer cyclicals sector, the Fund’s positioning reflected a meaningful underweight in retail and apparel, which we view as structurally challenged, as well as an overweight in gaming and lodging, which has continued to benefit, in our opinion, from growing U.S. consumer spending on leisure-related experiences. The Fund was also modestly overweight leisure and restaurants based on changing U.S. consumer habits. It was underweight packaging due to what we consider high levels of debt and the number of lower quality issuers in the sector. In addition, the Fund’s positions in oilfield services and pipelines had increased by the end of the Reporting Period, though it maintained a rather neutral position in the energy sector overall.

 

Q   Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period?

 

A   There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during 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 positive outlook on high yield corporate bonds, as we believe they are underpinned by strong corporate fundamentals and a supportive macro backdrop. Accordingly, we maintained the Fund’s modestly long market beta positioning. Overall, we believe that global economic growth, solid corporate earnings growth and favorable lending conditions are supportive of the low default environment, resilience in high yield credit spreads (or yield differentials versus duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities) and a further lengthening of the U.S. economic and credit cycles. Furthermore, tax reform should serve as a tailwind if it leads, as we expect, to improved cash flow for high yield corporate bond issuers. In our opinion, the breadth of global economic growth suggests that positive economic data may continue into 2019 and possibly beyond. We believe the risk to this outlook is persistent equity market volatility, which is historically a headwind for high yield credit spreads. Additionally, a rapid rise in interest rates could lead to spread widening and decreased demand for risk assets. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed meaningful overweights and underweights on both an industry and single-name basis as well as individual security selection — rather than risk exposure — were key to potentially outperforming the Index in the near term. In terms of individual issue selection, we favored companies with improving credit quality, industry leadership positions and demonstrated ability to grow revenues and manage margins.

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

 

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

  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, Service, Investor, Class R 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 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.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Service, Investor, Class R, and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor and Class R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 3.00%, 2.23%, 3.45%, 3.36% and 2.74%, respectively. These returns compare to the 4.64% average annual total return of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (the “Index”) during the same time period.

 

      During the period since their inception on November 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 1.17% compared to the 1.97% cumulative total return of the Index.

 

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

 

A   The high yield loan market advanced during the second quarter of 2017 when the Reporting Period began. Reports of strong first calendar quarter corporate earnings and light primary market issuance supported the asset class during April and May 2017. In June, a decline in commodity prices and a pickup in interest rate volatility dampened investor sentiment. During the third quarter of 2017, high yield loans extended their gains. A sharp climb in crude oil prices and a strong earnings season drove price appreciation in July 2017, while a positive macro environment and optimism about the Republican leadership’s proposal for U.S. tax reform underpinned high yield loan prices during September. Performance in August 2017 was relatively flat. In the fourth calendar quarter, high yield loans generated a positive return. The asset class performed well in October in spite of a decline in interest rates and overcame weakness in the energy and consumer sectors to post gains in November. A drop in supply supported high yield loans during December. Although new issuance increased in the first quarter of 2018, the high yield loan market experienced significantly lower volatility than high yield corporate bonds and advanced on strong demand amid rising interest rates.

 

      For the Reporting Period overall, high yield loans generated positive returns. Lower quality loans outperformed, with CCC-rated high yield loans providing the greatest returns, followed by B-rated and then BB-rated high yield loans. High yield loan spreads (or yield differentials versus duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities) narrowed by 48 basis points, ending the Reporting Period at 396 basis points.1 (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.)

 

      In terms of issuance, approximately $974 billion in new high yield loans were brought to market during calendar year 2017. Approximately $242 billion in new high yield loans were issued in the first quarter of 2018. As for demand, high yield loan mutual funds saw investment inflows of approximately $13.1 billion during calendar year 2017. Approximately $3.7 billion of inflows moved into high yield loan mutual funds during the first quarter of 2018.2

 

      The default rate for high yield loans increased during the Reporting Period. The 12-month par-weighted high yield loan default rate through March 31, 2018 was 2.52%. With the addition of distressed issues, that default rate stood at 2.57%, the highest since March 2015 when it reached 3.99%. Total default volume was more than $28 billion during the first quarter of 2018, the sixth largest quarterly total on record.2

FUND RESULTS

 

 

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s overall credit quality positioning relative to the Index detracted from returns. Regional and sector positioning as well as issue selection within the high yield loan market also hampered performance.

 

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

 

A   The Fund’s investments in BBB-rated high yield loans detracted from relative returns during the Reporting Period. In addition, it was hurt by the avoidance of certain defaulted high yield loans that remained in the Index following their default. The Fund’s cash holdings were a drag on performance, as high yield loans posted gains and their spreads tightened. On the positive side, the Fund benefited from its underweight compared to the Index in B-rated high yield loans and its overweight in CCC-rated high yield loans. Positioning in non-rated loans also bolstered relative results.

 

      In terms of its regional positioning, the Fund’s overweights in Canadian and Europe ex U.K. high yield loans hindered performance. Its overweight in U.K. high yield loans added to returns.

 

      Regarding sector positioning, the Fund’s overweight positions compared to the Index in commercial services and cellular telecommunications dampened performance. Underweights in consumer services and non-cellular telecommunications also detracted from results. Conversely, the Fund was helped by underweight positions in the retail and apparel, consumer products and transportation sectors.

 

      As for individual issue selection, the Fund was hampered by overweight positions in Catalina Marketing, a provider of digital media solutions; PetSmart, a retailer specializing in pet food and supplies; and Caesars Entertainment, a gaming company. On the other hand, Fund performance was aided by overweight positions in Intelsat, a communications satellite services provider; Getty Images, a stock photo agency; and U.S. Renal Care, which operates dialysis facilities.

 

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 currency exchange contracts during the Reporting Period. The Fund also employed interest rate swaps and U.S. Treasury futures as cost-efficient instruments 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 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   Over the course of the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s overweight position relative to the Index in the health care sector but trimmed the size of that overweight toward the end of the Reporting Period in response to mounting reimbursement and utilization pressures. We increased the Fund’s overweights in cellular telecommunications, non-cellular telecommunications and consumer services. In addition, we shifted the Fund’s position in technology from an underweight compared to the Index to an overweight during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in non-cable media, technology and food and drug retailing. Within more defensive sectors, it was overweight packaging and underweight gaming and lodging. In addition, the Fund maintained a modest overweight in health care. It was underweight the broad retail sector, with select holdings based on valuations, at the end of the Reporting Period.

Q   Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Effective October 27, 2017, Michael Chang no longer served as a portfolio manager of the Fund. On January 3, 2018, Jean Joseph no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund, and Rachel C. Golder became a portfolio manager of the Fund, joining Michael Goldstein. Ken Yang and Peter Campo became portfolio managers for the Fund effective January 18, 2018 and March 19, 2018, respectively. At the end of the Reporting Period, then, the portfolio managers of the Fund were Michael Goldstein, Rachel C. Golder, Ken Yang and Peter Campo.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we saw ongoing global economic growth, easy financial conditions, fading monetary policy stimulus, and increased fiscal stimulus from tax reform, even as the U.S. credit cycle continues to age. Although valuations were tight and yields were near multi-year lows, we believed that rising interest rates increased the upside potential of floating rate instruments, such as high yield loans. However, with an increasing number of high yield loans trading above par, we were also aware of the possibility for increased refinancing activity. Overall, the operating backdrop for corporate credit was favorable, in our view, despite the U.S. being in the late stages of the credit cycle. In this environment, we plan to maintain our focus on individual issue selection. Because we believe the operating backdrop and easy financial conditions may extend the credit cycle, we were comfortable maintaining the Fund’s beta close to that of the Index at the end of the Reporting Period. (Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole.)

 

      We plan to maintain the Fund’s up-in-quality positioning, complemented by idiosyncratic situations where lack of liquidity presents opportunity and through newer issues that offer more spread duration and convexity. (Spread duration is the sensitivity of the price of a bond to a 100 basis point change to its option-adjusted spread. The option adjusted spread is a measurement tool for evaluating price differences between similar products with different embedded options. Convexity is a measure of the curvature in the relationship between bond prices and bond yields that demonstrates how the duration of a bond changes as the interest rate changes.) Because of structural issues in the high yield loan market, we continue to manage the Fund’s liquidity risk overall.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on March 31, 2011 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/ country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

FUND RESULTS

 

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Institutional, Investor, Separate Account Institutional and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 2.34%, 2.69%, 2.60%, 2.69% and 2.70%, respectively. These returns compare to the 2.59% average annual 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   Investment grade corporate bonds outperformed U.S. Treasury securities during the Reporting Period overall.

 

      In the second quarter of 2017, when the Reporting Period began, global investment grade credit spreads, or the difference in yields between global corporate bonds and duration-equivalent government securities, tightened by 11 basis points to end the quarter at 109 basis points. (A basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.) Investment grade corporate bonds were generally supported by reports of solid first quarter 2017 corporate earnings and improvements in global economic growth. However, a decline in crude oil prices weighed on energy-related credits. During the second calendar quarter, European investment grade corporate bonds outperformed U.K. investment grade bonds, which outpaced U.S. investment grade corporate bonds.

 

      In the third quarter of 2017, global investment grade credit spreads tightened seven basis points to end the quarter at 102 basis points. A positive macro backdrop, stabilizing corporate fundamentals and a low volatility environment bolstered investment grade corporate bonds. U.S. investment grade corporate bonds outperformed both European and U.K. investment grade corporate bonds during the third calendar quarter.

 

      During the fourth calendar quarter, global investment grade credit spreads tightened eight basis points to end the quarter at 94 basis points. Corporate earnings momentum, robust global economic data and low volatility supported investment grade corporate bonds. U.S. investment grade corporate bonds outperformed both European and U.K. investment grade corporate bonds during the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

      In the first quarter of 2018, global investment grade credit spreads widened 13 basis points to end the quarter at 107 basis points. Investment grade corporate bonds were pressured by heightened volatility, heavy supply and short-term funding pressures. European and U.K. investment grade corporate bonds outperformed U.S. investment grade corporate bonds during the first calendar quarter.

 

     

In general, issuance moderated between the beginning of the Reporting Period and the end of 2017 but increased during the first quarter of 2018. U.S. new issuance was approximately $335 billion in the second quarter of 2017 versus $448 billion in the first calendar quarter, while European new issuance was approximately €148 billion versus €176 billion. In the third quarter of 2017, U.S. new issuance was approximately $380 billion, and European new issuance was approximately €96 billion. During the fourth calendar quarter, U.S. new issuance was approximately $298 billion, while European new issuance was approximately €95 billion. In the first quarter of 2018, U.S. new issuance increased to approximately $394 billion, and European new issuance grew to approximately

€153 billion.1 (European new issuance includes U.K. new issuance.)

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, individual issue selection within corporate credit contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative returns. On the other hand, our cross-sector strategy detracted from performance. 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. The Fund’s duration positioning also hurt relative results during the Reporting Period. (Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.)

 

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

 

A   Regarding individual issue selection, holdings in the industrial, financial and utility sectors added to performance. Our decision to overweight the telecommunications and consumer retail sectors also enhanced returns. In addition, the Fund benefited from our preference for intermediate-term maturities and from an underweight in higher credit quality issues. These gains were limited by the Fund’s overweight in pipeline names and its underweight in pharmaceutical companies, which dampened results. Within government/swaps, individual issue selection of government and agency debt bolstered performance.

 

      In terms of our cross-sector strategy, an underweight compared to the Index in emerging markets corporate debt detracted from results. Also, the Fund’s overall weighting in investment grade corporate bonds hampered returns. For most of the Reporting Period, the Fund held either a modestly underweight or modestly overweight position. However, after we increased the Fund’s overweight position in investment grade corporate bonds during February 2018, credit spreads widened amid heightened volatility in the equity market and the overweight hurt performance.

 

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, our duration positioning strategy detracted from relative returns, driven by the Fund’s short duration position relative to that of the Index. Most of the underperformance occurred during the first half of the Reporting Period, when short-term yields rose in response to interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), but intermediate- and long-term yields fell due to political uncertainty, increased geopolitical risks and fewer positive economic surprises. In addition, soft inflation data during the first nine months of 2017 weighed on market expectations for further Fed rate hikes. Some of these negative results were offset in the second half of the Reporting Period, as intermediate- and longer-term yields rose on stronger economic data and a pickup in inflation. 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. 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   As market conditions warranted during the Reporting Period, the Fund used U.S. Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures, both of which had a positive impact on performance, 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 employed to express our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. In addition, 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). The use of interest rate swaps and swaptions had a neutral impact on performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund also 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”)). The use of credit default swaps had a positive impact on performance during the Reporting Period. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge currency exposure, which had a negative impact during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   In February 2018, we increased the Fund’s overweight position compared to the Index in investment grade corporate bonds.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

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

 

A   Relative to the Index, the Fund was overweight at the end of the Reporting Period in the pipeline and health care sectors. It was underweight compared to the Index in the media and pharmaceutical sectors. It was overweight emerging markets sovereign debt and underweight emerging markets corporate debt at the end of the Reporting Period.

 

Q   Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period?

 

A   There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during 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 overweight corporate credit overall, with an overweight position in investment grade corporate bonds. We expect credit spreads to tighten in the near term, as we believe corporate fundamentals should remain strong due to improving economic growth, tax reform and favorable corporate earnings momentum. In our view, corporate earnings growth is likely to accelerate. This outlook is predicated on the 6% consensus-estimated 2018 revenue growth for companies listed in the S&P 500® Index, which we consider a proxy for the investment grade corporate bond market, and our expectation that earnings per share will rise 19% based on revenue growth, pre-tax margin expansion, lower interest rates and the impact of stock buybacks. Revenue growth, in our opinion, should be supported by a stable macroeconomic environment, higher commodity prices and a weaker U.S. dollar. We consider the situation for pre-tax margins more nuanced. Some consumer-facing industries are experiencing higher costs for labor, transportation and other raw materials, which they have been unable to pass through to customers. However, we believe technology and commodity industries will be able to continue growing their pre-tax margins. We expect future earnings growth to be well dispersed among companies, and we estimate that lower corporate tax rates will account for less than half of the potential earnings increase.

 

      Risks to our overall outlook include geopolitics, central bank monetary policy, headline-driven volatility and elevated levels of corporate debt relative to history, though we acknowledge that many companies have the ability to reduce their debt if they so choose. Geopolitical risks include slowing economic growth in China, escalating trade tensions, and a more severe than expected fallout from the U.K.’s efforts to exit the European Union. We plan to monitor the progress of the November 2018 U.S. midterm elections, given they could lead to a shift in political party control of Congress, in addition to any changes in political sentiment about deregulation or other policies we deem to be “corporate friendly.” Regarding monetary policy, we remain aware of the potential impact of central banks’ withdrawal of accommodative measures given the link between the performance of riskier asset classes and higher interest rates and inflation expectations.

 

      At the end of the Reporting Period, we maintained a positive view on pipeline companies, specifically those that have taken steps to improve credit quality through reduced distributions, increased asset sales and constructive capital spending. The Fund was overweight health care, as we identified a number of opportunities with what we considered to be attractive valuations in recent new issuance. In media, the Fund held an underweight position because of greater fee pressures, increased bundling of services and changing advertiser habits — all of which have negatively impacted traditional revenue streams, in our view. We planned to maintain the Fund’s underweight in the pharmaceutical sector, as we see scope for higher levels of debt along with drug pricing pressures.

  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.

 

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

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional and Investor Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 13.93%, 13.10%, 14.29% and 14.24%, respectively. These returns compare to the 12.99% average annual total return of the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (GBI-EMSM) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (the “Index”), during the same time period.

 

      During the period since their inception on November 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 7.88% compared to the 6.56% cumulative total return of the Index.

 

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

 

A   Local emerging markets debt was influenced most during the Reporting Period by improving global economic growth, investors’ expectations about central bank monetary policy, a softer U.S. dollar and geopolitical events.

 

      During the Reporting Period, local emerging markets debt, as represented by the Index, posted a return of 12.99%, with approximately 4.1% due to changes in local interest rates and approximately 8.8% 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 South Africa (+32.32%), Poland (+21.46%) and Malaysia (+20.02%). The worst performing countries were Argentina (-16.77%), Turkey (-4.66%) and the Philippines (+0.64%).

 

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 issue selection among sovereign emerging markets bonds and emerging markets corporate debt/quasi-sovereign bonds.

 

      On the other hand, the Fund benefited from 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). Individual issue selection among local emerging markets bonds also added to relative performance.

 

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

 

A   An overweight position relative to the Index in the quasi-sovereign bonds of state-owned oil and natural gas company Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (“PDVSA”) detracted from relative returns. The Fund was overweight PDVSA because we think the company offers significant long-term value. An underweight in Chinese external bonds (accomplished via credit default swaps) was also a drag on performance. We implemented the underweight to hedge against any sharp downturn in China’s business cycle, which could be a headwind for the emerging markets overall. In addition, the Fund was hindered by a short position in the euro (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts), which we used to fund some of the Fund’s long positions in various other European currencies. Other detractors included a long position in the Argentinian peso (implemented through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts) and underweight positions in Brazilian and Polish local interest rates.

 

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

FUND RESULTS

 

 

      The Fund was helped by its long positions in the Czech Republic koruna, Polish zloty and South African rand (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts). The Fund’s long position in the Czech Republic koruna was the single largest positive contributor to performance. The Fund has long exposure to Central Eastern European currencies as we think economic activity is improving in Europe, which should support Eastern European economies through trade linkages. The Fund also benefited from an overweight compared to the Index in South African local interest rates and underweight positions in Czech Republic and Turkish local interest rates.

 

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, Eurodollar 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. Eurodollar futures were used to express our views on the direction of interest rates and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were used for hedging purposes or to express a positive view on a given currency. Interest rate swaps were used to express our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. Credit default swaps were used to implement specific credit-related investment strategies. Total return swaps 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 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, the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take long positions in the Czech Republic koruna and Polish zloty had a positive impact on the Fund’s performance. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take a long position in the Argentinian peso had a negative impact on returns. The Fund also employed interest rate swaps to gain exposure to South African and Czech Republic local interest rates, which had a positive impact, and to gain exposure to Brazilian and Polish local interest rates, which had a negative impact during the Reporting Period. In addition, during the Reporting Period, credit default swaps were used to gain exposure to Chinese external debt, which detracted from returns during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   We shifted the Fund from a long position in the Mexican peso to a short position amid risks related to the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the country’s upcoming elections. In addition, we reduced the Fund’s exposure to Central Eastern European currencies, such as the Czech Republic koruna and the Polish zloty, as we sought to capture profits. We increased exposure to South African local interest rates, because we think the country’s fundamentals have improved and the macro and political environments have bettered following recent elections. Furthermore, we think South Africa’s central bank will be more aggressive in its next interest rate cutting cycle than was being priced in by the market. Finally, we increased the Fund’s overweight position compared to the Index in Taiwanese local interest rates, as the market appeared to be anticipating a more aggressive pace of interest rates hikes than we are.

 

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 compared to the Index in local interest rates overall, and we were deploying capital into other pockets of the emerging markets where we saw value, such as external sovereign bonds and quasi-sovereign government bonds as

 

33


FUND RESULTS

 

 

well as select emerging markets corporate bonds. Within local interest rates, the Fund’s largest overweight positions compared to the Index were in South Africa, China and Taiwan at the end of the Reporting Period. Within external debt, the Fund was underweight China (accomplished through credit default swaps) and overweight Argentina at the end of the Reporting Period. On the margin, we continued to take active currency risk in a handful of countries, including Indonesia, Argentina and South Africa.

 

Q   Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period?

 

A   There were no changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the economic frameworks of emerging markets countries were more resilient than they had been in the recent past. Importantly, monetary and fiscal policymakers are in a stronger position to respond to future shocks, in our view, through the implementation of counter-cyclical measures, such as interest rate cuts or increased fiscal spending. On the individual country level, we remained watchful at the end of the Reporting Period for signs that specific stories might unravel. We believe China has the greatest potential to cause systemic issues given how its economic growth tends to affect trade channels and commodity prices.

 

      Overall, we favor countries with prudent fiscal management (where currencies have adjusted for lower oil prices) and/or idiosyncratic opportunities where valuations offer a strong potential risk/reward profile, in our view. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight relative to the Index in South African, Chinese and Taiwanese local interest rates. We believe South Africa’s macro fundamentals have improved in recent years, with the country’s current account deficit narrowing from 6% of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) to 2.3% and its fiscal deficit falling from 2.5% of GDP to below 1%. South Africa’s political environment has also improved, in our opinion. In China, we think the market has overpriced the central bank’s ability to hike interest rates given high debt levels and potential forced deleveraging. In Taiwan, we think the central bank has room to raise rates, but the market is pricing in more aggressive rate hikes than we are, giving us the opportunity to further increase the Fund’s overweight position.

  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 J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (GBI-EMSM) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) is an unmanaged index of debt instruments of 14 emerging countries. 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, Investor 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.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

Goldman Sachs Total Emerging Markets Income Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks current income and as a secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis

Effective after the close of business on December 26, 2017, the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund was renamed and repositioned as the Goldman Sachs Total Emerging Markets Income Fund (the “Fund”). In addition, the Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategy changed. The Fund’s new investment objective is to seek current income, with the secondary objective to seek capital appreciation. Within its principal investment strategy, the Fund continues to invest in emerging markets debt and currencies of issuers in emerging market countries, and after the close of business on December 26, 2017, the Fund also invests in equity investments. Effective December 27, 2017, the Fund’s benchmark changed from the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund Composite Index to the Total Emerging Markets Income Fund Composite Index. The Investment Adviser believes that the Total Emerging Markets Income Fund Composite Index is a more appropriate benchmark against which to measure the Fund’s performance in light of the change to the Fund’s principal investment strategy. The performance information reported below is the combined performance of the Fund, reflecting current and prior investment objectives, strategies and policies.

Below, the Goldman Sachs Global Fixed Income Investment Management Team and the Goldman Sachs Fundamental Equity Team discuss the Fund’s performance and positioning for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Institutional, Investor and Class R Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of 9.29%, 8.61%, 9.87%, 9.79% and 9.16%, respectively. These returns compare to the 8.18% average annual total return of the Fund’s new benchmark, the Total Emerging Markets Income Fund Composite Index (“Total EM Composite”), which is composed 40% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged), 20% of the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (“GBI-EMSM”) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged), 20% of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (“EMBISM”) Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) and 20% of the J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index (“CEMBISM”) Broad Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged). The components of the Total EM Composite, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index, J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index and J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index, generated average annual total returns of 24.93%, 12.99%, 4.30% and 3.66%, respectively, during the Reporting Period.

 

    During the period since their inception on November 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class R6 Shares generated a cumulative total return, without sales charges, of 4.15% compared to the 2.53% cumulative total return of the Total EM Composite. The components of the Total EM Composite, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, 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 2.53%, 5.06%, 6.56%, -1.02% and -0.81% respectively, during the same time period.

 

   

To compare, the Fund’s former benchmark, the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund Composite Index (the

 

38


FUND RESULTS

 

 

“Dynamic EMD Composite”) generated an average annual total return of 8.44% during the Reporting Period overall. The components of the Dynamic EMD Composite, the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index (50%), J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index (25%) and J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index (25%), generated average annual total returns of 12.99%, 4.30% and 3.66%, respectively, during the same time period.

 

Q   How did the Fund’s principal investment strategy change after the close of business on December 26, 2017?

 

A   After the close of business on December 26, 2017, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) (“net assets”) in sovereign and corporate debt securities, equity investments and currencies of issuers in emerging market countries and other instruments, including credit linked notes, exchange-traded funds, futures and other investments, with similar economic exposures. Such securities and instruments may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in non-U.S. currencies. The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective through a baseline allocation of approximately 60% of its net assets to fixed income investments and of approximately 40% of its net assets to equity investments. The Investment Adviser may change the allocations to fixed income investments and equity investments opportunistically based on the market environment, top-down macro views or bottom-up positioning. Under normal circumstances, the allocations to fixed income investments and equity investments may vary 10% above or below the baseline allocation, measured at the time of investment.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, emerging markets debt and emerging markets equities overall were influenced most by improving global economic growth, investors’ expectations about central bank monetary policy, a softer U.S. dollar and geopolitical events.

 

    External emerging markets debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index, returned 4.30%. Sovereign spreads (that is, the difference in yields between external emerging markets debt and U.S. Treasuries) tightened by approximately seven basis points and closed the Reporting Period 303 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 Index (in U.S. dollar terms1) were Ghana (+20.13%), Mozambique (+18.70%) and El Salvador (+17.91%). The worst performing countries were Venezuela (-25.87%), Oman (-1.99%) and Bolivia (-0.70%).

 

    Local emerging markets debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index, posted a return of 12.99%, with approximately 4.1% due to changes in local interest rates and approximately 8.8% 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 terms) during the Reporting Period were South Africa (+32.32%), Poland (+21.46%) and Malaysia (+20.02%). The worst performing countries were Argentina (-16.77%), Turkey (-4.66%) and the Philippines (+0.64%).

 

    Corporate emerging markets debt, as represented by the J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index, returned 3.66%. Corporate spreads (that is, the difference in yields between corporate emerging markets debt and U.S. Treasuries) tightened by approximately 19 basis points and closed the Reporting Period 242 basis points wider than U.S. Treasury securities. In terms of issuance, the emerging markets corporate bond sector saw approximately $481 billion of gross new issuance during 2017 and $82 billion of gross new issuance from January through early March 2018.1 As for the global emerging markets corporate default rate, J.P. Morgan reports that it was 2.2% for 2017 overall and forecasts 2.4% for 2018.

 

    Emerging markets equities advanced for most of the Reporting Period. They gave up some of their gains during February 2018, as investors anticipated a faster pace of Federal Reserve (“Fed”) interest rate hikes following news of solid U.S. labor and inflation data. They retreated further in March on escalating concerns about trade tensions between the U.S. and China. As represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, emerging markets stocks generated a return of 24.93% during the Reporting Period overall.
Q   What key factors were responsible for the Fund’s performance from April 1, 2017 through December 26, 2017 (“the initial part of the Reporting Period”)?

 

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

FUND RESULTS

 

 

A   During the initial part of the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from active currency management (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts as well as bonds denominated in local currencies). Issue selection among local emerging markets bonds also contributed positively. On the other hand, issue selection of emerging markets corporate debt/quasi-sovereign bonds detracted from the Fund’s performance versus the Dynamic EMD Composite.

 

Q   Which segments of emerging markets debt most significantly affected Fund performance during the initial part of the Reporting Period?

 

A   The Fund was helped during the initial part of the Reporting Period by its long positions in the Czech Republic koruna and Polish zloty (implemented through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts). The Fund’s long exposures to Central Eastern European currencies were based on our view that economic activity is improving in Europe, which should support Eastern European economies through trade linkages. In addition, the Fund benefited from its exposure to Czech Republic and Brazilian local interest rates.

 

    Conversely, the Fund was hurt by a short position in the euro (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts), through which we funded long positions in various other currencies. The euro strengthened amid strong economic activity and the European Central Bank’s planned tapering of its quantitative easing measures. An overweight compared to the Dynamic EMD Composite in the quasi-sovereign bonds of state-owned oil and natural gas company Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (“PDVSA”) also dampened relative returns. The Fund was overweight PDVSA because we think the company offers significant long-term value. Also, the Fund was hampered by an underweight in Chinese external bonds (accomplished via credit default swaps). We implemented the underweight to hedge against any sharp downturn in China’s business cycle, which could be a headwind for the emerging markets overall.

 

Q   Did the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the initial part of 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 initial part of 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   What was the Fund’s asset allocation positioning at the close of business on December 26, 2017 when its principal investment strategy changed?

 

A   At the close of business on December 26, 2017, the Fund was invested approximately 89% in fixed income and approximately 11% in cash.

 

Q   What key factors had the greatest impact on the performance of the Fund’s fixed income allocation beginning on December 27, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (“the latter part of the Reporting Period”)?

 

A   Active currency management added to the performance of the fixed income allocation relative to its blended emerging markets debt benchmark (“blended EMD benchmark”), which is comprised of the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index (46%), J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index (43%) and J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index (11%). Issue selection of emerging markets corporate debt/quasi-sovereign bonds and positioning within local emerging markets debt also contributed positively. Conversely, positioning and issue selection within emerging markets external bonds detracted from performance during the latter part of the Reporting Period.

 

Q   Which segments of emerging markets debt most significantly affected the performance of the Fund’s fixed income allocation during the latter part of the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the latter part of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s fixed income allocation benefited from long positions in the South African rand, Czech Republic koruna and Polish zloty (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts). Its long position in South African local emerging markets debt was also advantageous. In addition, an overweight relative to the blended EMD benchmark in the quasi-sovereign bonds of state-owned oil and natural gas company PDVSA added modestly to returns, as these bonds rebounded from a decline experienced during the initial part of the Reporting Period. The largest detractors from performance during the latter part of the Reporting Period were overweight positions in Argentinian external bonds and in the Argentinian peso (implemented through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts). A short position in the euro (accomplished through the use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts), through which we funded long positions in the Czech Republic koruna and Polish zloty, also hurt relative performance.

FUND RESULTS

 

 

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

 

A   During the latter part of the Reporting Period, the Fund’s U.S. duration and yield curve positioning did not have a meaningful impact on performance.

 

Q   What key factors had the greatest impact on the performance of the Fund’s equity allocation during the latter part of the Reporting Period?

 

A   Relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, stock selection added most to returns. Sector allocation decisions overall did not have a material impact on performance.

 

Q   Which countries and sectors within emerging markets equities most significantly affected Fund performance during the latter part of the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the latter part of the Reporting Period, the Fund benefited from underweight positions relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in South Africa, Mexico and Poland. Underweights in South Korea and Thailand and an overweight in China detracted from relative returns. In terms of sectors, overweights in the consumer discretionary, real estate and materials sectors contributed positively. The Fund was hampered by its underweight positions compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in information technology, utilities and energy.

 

Q   Which emerging markets stocks contributed significantly to the Fund’s performance during the latter part of the Reporting Period?

 

A   The largest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance versus the MSCI Emerging Markets Index were Santam, Wuxi Biologics and Becle SAB de CV (“Becle”).

 

    The Fund benefited from its position in Santam, which performed well after the South African insurer reported better than expected fourth quarter 2017 results. The market was favorably surprised by stronger than anticipated gross written premiums in Santam’s core property and motor divisions, which account for approximately 70% of the company’s total business, as well as by a significant recovery in underwriting margins during the final two months of 2017. Santam’s underwriting margins, which were approximately 4% for the first 10 months of 2017, climbed to approximately 6% for the full calendar year. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the market expected to see healthy underwriting margins during 2018. In our view, the company’s gross written premiums and underwriting margins are indicators of its pricing power.

 

    Another positive contributor was Wuxi Biologics, a contract development and manufacturing organization that offers comprehensive, integrated and highly customizable services through its teams of scientists, proprietary technology platform and state-of-the-art laboratories. Shares of the China-based company appreciated during the first quarter of 2018 on news that 2017 earnings were 85% higher than they were in 2016, which was well ahead of market consensus. Wuxi Biologics also reported a 98% increase in service-related backlog and a rise in the number of its integrated projects, suggesting to us that the company would likely continue its forward growth momentum.

 

    The Fund was also helped by a position in Becle, a Mexican beverage company. Becle’s shares rallied on better than expected sales and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) margins. At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the company is a dominant player in the tequila industry and owns strong brands. In our view, Becle has a track record of innovation, typically introducing premium categories of existing brands or introducing new premium categories. Margins also benefit, in our view, from the company’s vertical integration, high barriers to entry, steady growth in key markets, effective track record with mergers and acquisitions, and distribution network.

 

Q   Which emerging markets stocks detracted significantly from performance during the latter part of the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the latter part of the Reporting Period, the Fund was hampered most relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by investments in Tencent, ING Life Insurance Korea and Ping An Insurance.

 

    A leading detractor was Tencent, a Chinese social media and online entertainment company. Its shares struggled on lower than company estimated first quarter 2018 earnings driven by a decline in the profitability of the mobile gaming division as well as by a drop in overall profits due to investments in artificial intelligence, video and mobile payments. At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected Tencent to continue its strong growth on the back of its online/mobile game monetization capability, the expansion of its payment service and the increased monetization of its social media platform.

 

   

The Fund was also hurt during the latter part of the Reporting Period by a position in ING Life Insurance Korea. The stock

fell amid concerns that the company’s potential acquisition by a bank holding group might lead to a cut in its dividend payout, which has been the highest in South Korea’s insurance industry. Furthermore, if ING Life Insurance Korea were acquired and ceased to be a non-banking financial company, it would become subject to the stringent regulations on capital adequacy mandated by South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service. At the end of the Reporting Period, we remained positive about the ING Life Insurance Korea because: 1) we consider it the best capitalized life insurer in South Korea at a time when most insurers are thinking of reducing debt in preparation for the adoption of more stringent capital rules, and 2) the company’s growth appears to be driven by the gradual pace at which it is increasing the number of agents who are offered higher pay than typical in the industry.

 

    An investment in China-based Ping An Insurance detracted further from performance. Its shares retreated after the company was asked by Chinese regulators to rectify overseas investment deals that violated certain rules. We consider it a transitory setback and note that Ping An Insurance’s fundamentals remain solid. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to like the stock because of the quality of the company’s insurance business relative to its growth and costs alongside the fast development of internet finance generally.

 

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

 

A   Derivatives were not used as part of the active management strategy within the Fund’s equity allocation.

 

    Within its fixed income allocation, during the Reporting Period as a whole, the Fund invested in U.S. Treasury futures, Eurodollar futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, credit default swaps, total return swaps, structured notes and non-deliverable currency forwards. U.S. Treasury futures were used to manage U.S. interest rate duration. Eurodollar futures were used to express our views on the direction of interest rates and to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Eurodollar futures are contracts that have underlying assets linked to time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the U.S. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were used for hedging purposes or to express a positive view on a given currency. Interest rate swaps were used to express our views on the direction of a country’s interest rates. 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. 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 overall, the use of U.S. Treasury futures added to the Fund’s performance. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to take long positions in the South African rand, Czech Republic koruna and Polish zloty contributed positively to performance. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to assume a short position in the euro detracted from performance. The other derivatives used in the Fund during the Reporting Period as a whole did not have a meaningful impact on the Fund’s performance overall.

 

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

 

A   During the initial part of the Reporting Period, we increased the Fund’s overweight positions relative to the Dynamic EMD Composite in South African local interest rates and external bonds. We also shifted the Fund from an overweight to an underweight position in Czech Republic local interest rates. In addition, we reduced the Fund’s underweight compared to the Dynamic EMD Composite in China’s external bonds.

 

    On December 27, 2017, we began reallocating some of the Fund’s fixed income assets. More specifically, we shifted some of its investments to emerging markets equities from external emerging markets debt, local emerging markets debt and currencies and emerging markets corporate bonds. Within the fixed income allocation, we positioned the Fund with overweights relative to the blended EMD benchmark in Latin American and Indonesian external bonds and underweights in the external bonds of China and Poland. In terms of local interest rates and currencies, the Fund was positioned with overweights in South Africa and Peru.

 

Q   What was the Fund’s asset allocation positioning at the end of the Reporting Period?

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was invested approximately 52% in fixed income, approximately 47% in equities and approximately 1% in cash.

Q   Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Effective December 27, 2018, in connection with the change in the Fund’s principal investment strategy, Raymond Chan became a portfolio manager of the Fund joining Samuel Finkelstein.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we believed the economic frameworks of emerging markets countries were more resilient than they had been in the recent past. Importantly, monetary and fiscal policymakers are in a stronger position to respond to future shocks, in our view, through the implementation of counter-cyclical measures, such as interest rate cuts or increased fiscal spending. On the individual country level, we remained watchful at the end of the Reporting Period for signs that specific stories might unravel. We believe China has the greatest potential to cause systemic issues given how its economic growth tends to affect trade channels and commodity prices.

 

    In terms of emerging markets debt overall, we favored countries with prudent fiscal management (where currencies have adjusted for lower oil prices) and/or idiosyncratic opportunities where valuations offer a strong potential risk/reward profile, in our view. On a regional basis, we see more opportunities in Latin America than elsewhere, while we expect returns in Asia to lag, largely because of stretched valuations and concerns about potential deleveraging in China that may result in slower than anticipated growth across the region. The busy election calendar in 2018 should also present the Fund with opportunities to outperform given our focus on relative value country selection. At the end of the Reporting Period, we continued to have a constructive view on Indonesia, which could benefit, in our view, from fiscal improvements due to a reduction in a fuel subsidy. The country has a modest debt to Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) ratio of 27%, and approximately 40% of its outstanding debt is denominated in foreign currency and is long-term debt. We believe this helps to minimize refinancing risk. We also have a favorable view on Argentina and consider the current political backdrop as conducive for business-friendly reforms. In addition, we think that recent pension reform and a fiscal pact with local provinces have increased the Argentinian government’s ability to comply with fiscal targets in the long term. Elsewhere, at the end of the Reporting Period, we were cautious on Poland, where the Fund held an underweight position based on valuations and because we see potential for fiscal slippage. (Fiscal slippage means that a government’s planned annual budget does not match actual spending because of something that effects the tax dollars collected.) Additionally, we plan to maintain the Fund’s underweight positions compared to the Index in several small Asian economies, such as the Philippines where the current account has deteriorated over the last couple of years, making it more vulnerable, in our view, to the whims of international capital flows. In terms of local emerging markets debt, the Fund was overweight South Africa and Peru at the end of the Reporting Period. In our opinion, South Africa’s macro fundamentals have improved in recent years, with the country’s current account deficit narrowing from 6% of GDP to 2.3% and its fiscal deficit falling from 2.5% of GDP to below 1%. South Africa’s political environment has also improved, in our opinion. We favor Peru because we expect monetary policy easing, which should help support the country’s economy, and given improvements in its trade balance.

 

    Regarding emerging markets stocks, we believe fundamentals were stronger at the end of the Reporting Period than at the time of the 2013 taper tantrum. (Taper tantrum refers to the way markets reacted when the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) suggested it might begin tapering its quantitative easing program.) Economic growth in the emerging markets has been increasing relative to that of the developed markets; external imbalances have decreased; inflation has moderated; and emerging markets currencies have been more attractively valued than they were in 2013, in our view. Crucially, we have seen an improvement in corporate earnings, which we expect to continue through 2018. Earnings growth has historically been a key driver of performance for emerging markets stocks. Based on their earnings at the end of the Reporting Period, we believe the asset class trades at a significant discount relative to developed markets stocks. That said, as bottom-up fundamental investors, we constantly look across a broad range of sectors, countries and market capitalizations in order to identify the most compelling investment opportunities that are trading at attractive valuations and may outperform over the market cycle. In particular, we aim to look for companies with strong or improving cash flows and sustainable competitive advantages that are able to withstand inflationary pressures on their margins while taking advantage of secular growth themes in these markets. Finally, we seek to invest in companies with strong corporate governance track records, especially with respect to their treatment of minority shareholders. With the uncertainty that emerged in the financial markets during the Reporting Period, we believe our focus on companies with strong fundamentals and secular growth opportunities may serve the Fund well in the months ahead.

  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 Total Emerging Markets Income Fund Composite Index is a composite of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (40%), J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (GBI-EMSM) Global Diversified Index (20%), the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBISM) Global Diversified Index (20%), and the J.P.

Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index (25%), and the J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index (25%). The index figures do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

  4    The MSCI® Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. As of March 31, 2018 the MSCI® Emerging Markets Index consists of the following 24 emerging market country indexes: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. For this index, the dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to nonresident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI Barra uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index does not reflect any deductions of expenses associated with mutual funds such as management fees and other expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

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.

Performance Summary

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on May 31, 2013 (commencement of operations) in Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Total Emerging Markets Income Fund Composite Index, which is comprised of the MSCI® Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD, Unhedged) (40%), the J.P. Morgan GBI-EMSM Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (20%), the J.P. Morgan EMBISM Global Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (20%), and the J.P. Morgan CEMBISM Broad Diversified Index (Gross, USD, Unhedged) (20%), is shown. The performance of the Fund’s former benchmark, the Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund Composite Index, is also shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Class C, Investor, Class R and Class R6 Shares will vary from Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry/country investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

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 12-month period ended March 31, 2018 (the “Reporting Period”).

 

Q   How did the Fund perform during the Reporting Period?

 

A   During the Reporting Period, the Fund’s Class A, Institutional, Investor, Separate Account Institutional and Class R6 Shares generated average annual total returns, without sales charges, of -0.10%, 0.24%, 0.15%, 0.24% and 0.16%, respectively. These returns compare to the 0.79% average annual 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   For the Reporting Period overall, agency mortgage-backed securities recorded slightly positive returns and outperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities.

 

      During the second quarter of 2017 when the Reporting Period began, agency mortgage-backed securities modestly underperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled it would begin trimming its balance sheet later in 2017 by reducing its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities. The Fed’s action was expected to increase the market’s supply of agency mortgage-backed securities, leading to their underperformance.

 

      During the third quarter of 2017, agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities due to low volatility and a sell-off in the U.S. Treasury market. Firm demand, particularly from real estate investment trusts, also supported agency mortgage-backed securities. At its September 2017 policy meeting, the Fed formally announced it would begin decreasing the reinvestment of the principal payments on its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries.

 

 

      Investor reaction was relatively muted given how much guidance it had received from the Fed earlier in 2017.

 

      In the fourth calendar quarter, agency mortgage-backed securities slightly outperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities, supported by strong investor demand and low interest rate volatility. In October, as previously announced, the Fed started to trim its balance sheet.

 

      In the first quarter of 2018, agency mortgage-backed securities underperformed duration-equivalent U.S. Treasury securities, as interest rate volatility increased and heightened trade tensions boosted demand for U.S. Treasuries. Subdued demand for agency mortgage-backed securities from banks and from the Fed also contributed to the underperformance of the sector.

 

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

 

A   During the Reporting Period, individual issue selection detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. On the other hand, the Fund benefited from our cross-sector strategy, through 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 strategy also added modestly to returns. (The duration strategy is implemented via bonds as well as interest rate swaps and/or futures. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) Conversely, the Fund’s yield curve positioning strategy hurt relative results during the Reporting Period. (Yield curve is a spectrum of maturities.)

 

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

 

A  

Individual issue selection among Ginnie Mae (Government National Mortgage Association or “GNMA”) mortgage-

 

48


FUND RESULTS

 

 

backed securities hurt the Fund’s relative performance during the first nine months of the Reporting Period, as GNMA mortgage-backed securities materially underperformed conventional agency mortgage-backed securities. On the positive side, issue selection within asset-backed securities (“ABS”) added to relative returns during the Reporting Period overall.

 

      Within our cross-sector strategy, the Fund benefited from an underweight position relative to the Index in agency mortgage-backed securities. Most of the gains occurred during the first quarter of 2018 when the sector posted weak results amid increased interest rate volatility and soft demand from banks and from the Fed. In addition, the Fund was helped by its overweight positions in ABS, specifically exposure to Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) student loan ABS, and in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), as their spreads (yield differentials to equivalent-duration U.S. Treasury securities) tightened due to their strong credit protection and improving fundamentals. Conversely, the Fund was hampered by its underweight in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), as their spreads narrowed. An overweight in higher-coupon agency mortgage-backed securities also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance as the yield curve flattened, which benefited lower-coupon agency mortgage-backed securities. (A flatter yield curve is one wherein the differential in yields between longer-term and shorter-term maturities narrows; opposite of steeper yield curve.) The Fund retraced some of these losses during the first quarter of 2018 when interest rate volatility increased and higher-coupon agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed lower-coupon agency mortgage-backed securities. Also contributing positively to Fund returns was an underweight compared to the Index in 15-year agency mortgage-backed securities, as the yield curve flattened during the first quarter of 2018.

 

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, wherein it held a short duration position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve, added modestly to returns during the Reporting Period. Although this positioning detracted in the second and third quarters of 2017 as long-term yields fell on receding inflation fears, it added to performance for the Reporting Period overall as the Fed continued to raise short-term interest rates on the back of strengthening U.S. economic data.

 

      The Fund’s yield curve positioning strategy detracted from results, as the Fund was positioned for a steepening yield curve but the U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened during the Reporting Period as a whole.

 

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 terms structure of interest rates, which is the relationship between the yield to the maturity and the time to maturity for pure discount bonds.) The Fund 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 (“CMBX”) 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 and similar instruments 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 short duration position on the U.S. Treasury yield curve because we thought the Fed policymakers would decide to raise interest rates a total of four times during 2018. We maintained the Fund’s underweight position in agency mortgage-backed securities, as we expect the sector to underperform in the near term due to rising interest rates, muted bank and Fed demand and a heavy supply schedule.

 

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 relative to the Index in agency pass-through

mortgage securities. (Pass-through mortgage securities consist of a pool of residential mortgage loans, where homeowners’ monthly payments of principal, interest and prepayments pass from the mortgage servicer through a government agency or investment bank to investors.) The Fund was also underweight CMBS given that we think the U.S. is in the late stage of the credit cycle. In addition, at the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was overweight CLOs because we believe they offered an attractive yield pick-up versus other segments of the mortgage-backed securities sector. Lastly, the Fund was overweight ABS. More specifically, it held positions in FFELP student loan ABS, which are not represented in the Index, because of what we consider their strong credit protection and attractive yields. We maintained the Fund’s overweight in higher-coupon mortgage-backed securities and its underweight in lower-coupon mortgage-backed securities at the end of the Reporting Period.

 

Q   Were there any changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team during the Reporting Period?

 

A   Effective February 7, 2018, Thomas D. Teles no longer served as a portfolio manager for the Fund, as he retired from the firm. By design, all investment decisions for the Fund are performed within a co-lead or team structure, with multiple subject matter experts. This strategic decision making has been the cornerstone of our approach and ensures continuity in the Fund. The portfolio managers for the Fund are Matthew T. Kaiser, Christopher J. Hogan, Christopher J. Creed and Peter D. Dion.

 

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

 

A   At the end of the Reporting Period, we expected interest rates to continue rising, as U.S. economic strength, bolstered by the fiscal stimulus of the 2017 tax reform law, and favorable financial conditions are likely to result in additional Fed rate hikes. We plan to maintain the Fund’s underweight in agency mortgage-backed securities given that spreads are likely to widen, in our view, as the Fed continues to reduce its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities and as supply increases during the seasonally strong summer months. Within agency mortgage-backed securities, we expect to maintain the Fund’s overweight in higher-coupon issues and its underweight in lower-coupon issues. In the securitized sector, the Fund has an emphasis on high quality floating rate securities, especially senior CLOs and FFELP ABS. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Fund was also overweight residential mortgage-backed securities because we see strength in the U.S. housing market and due to negative net supply.

  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 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.

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, Investor, Separate Account Institutional and Class R6 Shares do not involve a sales charge, such a charge is not applied to their Standardized Total Returns.

March 31, 2018

 

The following graph shows the value, as of March 31, 2018, of a $1,000,000 investment made on April 1, 2008 in Separate Account Institutional Shares at NAV. For comparative purposes, the performance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Securitized Bond Index, is shown. This performance data represents past performance and should not be considered indicative of future performance, which will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. These performance fluctuations may cause an investor’s shares, when redeemed, to be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown and 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. Performance of Class A, Institutional, Investor, and Class R6 Shares will vary from Separate Account Institutional Shares due to differences in class specific fees and any applicable sales charges. In addition to the Investment Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Fund.

  (a)   Payments made quarterly.
  (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.

The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets.
Security ratings disclosed, if any, are obtained from by Standard & Poor's /Moody's Investor Service and are unaudited. A brief description of the ratings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

(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 March 31, 2018. 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)

  Variable rate security. Except for floating rate notes (for which final maturity is disclosed), maturity date disclosed is the next interest reset date. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on March 31, 2018.

(c)

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

(d)

 

All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open reverse repurchase agreements. As of March 31,

2018, the value of securities pledged amounted to $21,335,500.

(e)

  Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this portfolio security; i.e. Level 3.

(f)

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

(g)

  Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under procedures approved by Board of Trustees, 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 $1,281,858,281, which represents approximately 42.8% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2018. The liquidity determination is unaudited.

(h)

  Pay-in-kind securities.

(i)

  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 March 31, 2018.

(j)

  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 $27,516,771, which represents approximately 0.9% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2018.

GOLDMAN SACHS HIGH YIELD FLOATING RATE FUND

 

 

The percentage shown for each investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a percentage of net assets.
Security ratings disclosed, if any, are obtained from by Standard & Poor’s /Moody’s Investor Service and are unaudited. A brief description of the ratings is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

(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 March 31, 2018. 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)

  Variable rate security. Except for floating rate notes (for which final maturity is disclosed), maturity date disclosed is the next interest reset date. Interest rate disclosed is that which is in effect on March 31, 2018.

(c)

  Significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of this portfolio security; i.e. Level 3.

(d)

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

(e)

  Exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under procedures approved by Board of Trustees, 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 $208,989,497, which represents
  approximately 5.1% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2018. The liquidity determination is unaudited.

(f)

  All or a portion of the security was pledged as collateral against open reverse repurchase agreements. As of March 31, 2018, the value of securities pledged amounted to $9,129,750.

(g)

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

(h)

  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 $10,774,245, which represents approximately 0.3% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2018.

  (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.

**   Effective August 15, 2017, Class IR changed its name to Investor Shares.

Class A Shares of the Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, High Yield Floating Rate, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt, Total Emerging Markets Income and U.S. Mortgages Funds are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%, 4.50%, 2.25%, 3.75%, 4.50%, 4.50%, and 3.75%, respectively. Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%, which is imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Institutional, Service, Separate Account Institutional, Investor, 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. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Trust.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

B.  Investment Income and Investments — Investment income includes interest income, dividend income, and securities lending income, if any. 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. Investment income is recorded net of any foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS SINGLE SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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), if any, 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 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, each Fund is 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 for the Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, High Yield Floating Rate, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds, and declared and paid monthly for the Total Emerging Markets Income Fund. Prior to January 1, 2018, the Fund’s distributions from net investment income were declared daily and paid monthly for the Total Emerging Markets Income Fund. Capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually for each Fund.

Net capital losses, if any, 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 translation. 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

 

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as 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); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. 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’ 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, and are generally classified as Level 2. 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.

GOLDMAN SACHS SINGLE SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

 

 

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. With the exception of treasury securities of G8 countries, 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. Commercial Paper — Commercial paper normally represents short-term unsecured promissory notes issued in bearer forms 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-back commercial paper is issued by a special purpose entity that is organized to issue the commercial paper and to purchase trade receivables and other financial assets.

iii. 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

iv. 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.

v. 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

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

vii. 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.

viii. 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. 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 exchange 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. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as receivables/payables for collateral on certain derivatives contracts. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments.

iii. Options — When a Fund writes call or put options, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. Swaptions are options on interest rate swap contracts.

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.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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.

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 a Fund subject to the Fund’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price (including interest), under the terms of an MRA. The gross value of reverse repurchase agreements is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

When a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it 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 the Fund’s interest in the amount borrowed is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to a 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

 

154

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

 

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 for the valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities.

(b)   Aggregate of amounts include $7,370,454 and $1,470,687, for the Emerging Markets Debt Fund 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, 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. 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

4. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES (continued)

 

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 March 31, 2018:

Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans — The Trust, on behalf of each applicable Fund, has adopted Service Plan and/or Shareholder Administration Plans to allow Class C and Service Shares, respectively, to compensate service organizations (including Goldman Sachs) for providing varying levels of personal and account maintenance and/or shareholder administration services to their customers who are beneficial owners of such shares. The Service and/or Shareholder Administration Plans each provide for compensation to the service organizations equal to an annual percentage rate of 0.25% the average daily net assets attributable to Class C or Service Shares of the Funds, respectively.

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, Investor and Class R Shares; 0.03% 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. Prior to July 28, 2017, the annual rate for Class R6 Shares was 0.02%. Effective April 20, 2018, the annual rate for Separate Account Institutional Shares of the Investment Grade Credit and U.S. Mortgages Funds will change to 0.03% of the average daily net assets.

Goldman Sachs has agreed to waive a portion of the transfer agency fees equal to 0.04% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Investor Shares of the Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund and 0.03% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C, Investor and Class R Shares of the High Yield Fund through at least November 30, 2018. Prior to such date, Goldman Sachs may not terminate the arrangement without approval of the Board of Trustees.

5. AGREEMENTS AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

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, expenses of shareholder meetings, litigation and 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 Emerging Markets Debt, High Yield, High Yield Floating Rate, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt, Total Emerging Markets Income and U.S. Mortgages Funds are 0.024%, 0.024%, 0.104%, 0.004%, 0.074%, 0.024% and 0.074%, respectively. Prior to July 29, 2017, the Other Expense limitations were 0.054% for the Emerging Markets Debt and Total Emerging Markets Income Fund, respectively. These Other Expense limitations will remain in place through at least November 30, 2018, 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.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, these expense reductions, including any fee waivers and Other Expense reimbursements, were as follows:

G. Line of Credit Facility — As of March 31, 2018, 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. 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any borrowings under the facility. The facility was decreased to $770,000,000 effective May 1, 2018.

H. Other Transactions with Affiliates — For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 , Goldman Sachs earned $119,038 , $12,980, $11,478, and $14,703 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions, including futures transactions executed with Goldman Sachs as the Futures Commission Merchant, on behalf of the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt, Investment Grade Credit, Local Emerging Markets Debt and U.S. Mortgages Funds, respectively.

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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the purchase, and

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 and options contracts, net mark to market gains/(losses) on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of inflation protected securities, swap transactions, material modification of debt securities, and foreign currency transactions.

In order to present certain components of the Funds’ capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Funds’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds’ and result primarily from net operating loss, and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, swap transactions, foreign currency transactions,

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 — The Funds’ use of derivatives may result in loss. Derivative instruments, which may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other instruments, may be illiquid or less liquid, volatile, 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. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. Losses from derivatives can also result from a lack of correlation between changes in the value of derivative instruments and the portfolio assets being hedged, if any.

Foreign Custody Risk — If a Fund invests in foreign securities, the Fund 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. 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.

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. The imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments, or from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. 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.

Geographic Risk — If a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were less focused, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that country or region, such as: adverse securities markets; adverse exchange rates; adverse social, political, regulatory, economic, business, environmental or other developments; or natural disasters.

Interest Rate Risk — When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments held by the Funds 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. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Funds.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk — 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 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 a Fund more volatile. When a Fund uses leverage, the sum of that Fund’s investment exposure may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the 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 its 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 the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.

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.

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 a 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, 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 a 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 Emerging Markets Debt Fund and the Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund is 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.

Sector Risk — To the extent a Fund focuses its investments in securities of issuers in one or more sectors (such as the financial services or telecommunications sectors), the Fund may be subjected, to a greater extent than if its investments were diversified across different sectors, to the risks of volatile economic cycles and/or conditions and developments that may be particular to that sector, such as: adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other developments.

 

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’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, GSAM believes the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.

 

10. OTHER MATTERS

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 — Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, by requiring

amortization to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. GSAM is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the amendments.

 

11. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of

Goldman Sachs Trust and Shareholders of the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund, the Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Credit Fund, the Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Mortgages Fund, and the Goldman Sachs Total Emerging Markets Income Fund (formerly, the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund):

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund, the Goldman Sachs High Yield Floating Rate Fund, the Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Credit Fund, the Goldman Sachs Local Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Goldman Sachs U.S. Mortgages Fund, and the Goldman Sachs Total Emerging Markets Income Fund (formerly, the Goldman Sachs Dynamic Emerging Markets Debt Fund) (seven of the funds constituting the Goldman Sachs Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of March 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GOLDMAN SACHS SINGLE SECTOR FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Fund Expenses — Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of Class A, Class C, Institutional, Service, Separate Account Institutional, Investor, 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, Investor, 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 October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018, which represents a period of 182 out of 365 days (121 out of 365 days for Class R6 Shares of the High Yield Floating Rate, Local Emerging Markets Debt and Total Emerging Markets Income Funds, which commenced operations on November 30, 2017). The Class R6 example for hypothetical expenses (for the High Yield Floating, Local Emerging Markets Debt and Total Emerging Markets Income Funds) reflects projected activity for the period from October 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018 for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Item 4(f) – Not applicable.

Item 4(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees Disclosure

The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST by PwC for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 were approximately $1,176,450 and $1,390,359 respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates by PwC for non-audit services for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were approximately $9.7 and $11.4 million respectively. With regard to the aggregate non-audit fees billed to GST’s adviser and service affiliates, the 2017 and 2016 amounts include fees for non-audit services required to be pre-approved [see Table 2] and fees for non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to GST’s operations or financial reporting.

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